Abstract

Purposeof Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease, and data supporting different nutritional recommendations are varied in their methods and outcomes measures. We conducted a MEDLINE literature review to assess recent studies on the effects of diets and supplements on NAFLD.

Recent Findings

Current data support weight loss as a mechanism to halt or reverse progression of NAFLD, without a definitive answer yet on which type of diet is most effective. Research on supplements, macronutrients, and alterations of the microbiome is ongoing, and future findings may add tools that can alter the course of NAFLD.

Summary

Weight loss is currently the strongest tool to address NAFLD; howe ver, the specifics of which dietary intervention and nutritional supplements are most effective are an active area of research.
