Fatty liver coaching, online

Fatty liver, managed through food and movement, alongside your doctor.

A nutritionist plans meals from your scan and blood reports, a coach builds walking and strength training, and every week we check progress on both. Your doctor diagnoses fatty liver and handles any medicine.

Online, 1-on-1, Indian meals. We work alongside your doctor and never change medication.

Who this is for

  • A scan or blood test showed fatty liver, or your liver enzymes (ALT or AST) are raised
  • Your doctor advised diet, weight and activity changes alongside follow-up tests
  • You have fatty liver with a normal body weight and want to know what helps
  • You want a plan built around Indian food and your local groceries, not a generic chart

What a coached week looks like

  1. 1Plan from your reportsOur nutritionist reads your scan, liver enzymes and lipid profile, then writes meals in katoris and rotis with fried, sugary and alcohol-heavy food cut first.
  2. 2Move every dayA daily walk plus two or three coached strength sessions a week, built up from your current fitness and kept at a pace you can hold.
  3. 3Check in weeklyWeight, waist, food logs and energy are reviewed every week, and the plan changes when life does. Your doctor sets the repeat tests.

How we coach

How your coach runs every session

  • Form corrected as you moveYour coach watches every rep on video and fixes your position in real time.About 10 corrections in a typical class
  • Shown first, then doneThe coach demonstrates the movement on camera, then watches you do it.67% of sessions
  • Every rep counted with youYour coach counts the reps aloud and pushes you through the last ones.Every session we read
  • Mobility to startJoints and spine warmed up before any load goes on.At least 82% of sessions
  • Stretching to finishSessions close with stretches for the muscles you trained.At least 84% of sessions
  • Knowledge you keepThe coach explains why each exercise and cue matters, so you can train well on your own.About 2 in 3 classes
  • Habits for the days betweenSteps, water, sleep and protein tasks, checked at your next session.Water and steps come up in about 6 in 10 classes

Corrections, explaining why, water and steps: a sample of recorded classes, 17 Aug to 21 Oct 2026. The rest: 1-on-1 sessions recorded 1 to 21 October 2026, each read in full. Some recordings start after the warm-up, so the mobility and stretching shares are a floor.

Where the training goes

  • In the Vilar-Gomez 52-week study (Gastroenterology, 2015), 58% of people who lost 5% or more of their weight had steatohepatitis resolve, and 90% of those who lost 10% or more did.
  • In the 2023 analysis of 14 studies (American Journal of Gastroenterology), exercise made a 30% or more drop in MRI liver fat about 3.5 times as likely as usual care. The effect appeared at about 150 minutes of brisk walking a week.
  • The 2024 EASL-EASD-EASO guideline names lifestyle first: weight loss, dietary change, physical exercise and cutting alcohol.

Sample week

A week for fatty liver, built from the three things the trials move

Weight comes down gradually, the step target is daily, and strength goes in twice a week with one interval session. Alcohol stays out. Your doctor sets the liver tests and any medicine.

Your days, your times. You pick the days and the hours, in your own time zone, and a session can move when your week changes.

The step target holds on every day, not only the active recovery days. Your doctor sets the repeat liver tests, and you share the next blood test date with us.

From the published evidence

Fatty liver: what the evidence says about lifestyle

Fatty liver is now called MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease), formerly NAFLD. The name changed in 2023 to focus on the metabolic causes behind it. Your doctor diagnoses it and decides on any treatment. Food, weight and movement are the parts a coach can work on, and the studies below show what each one tends to move.

How our nutritionist and coaches approach it

From recorded YourTrainer sessions and chats, members anonymised.

Start from the scan and the blood test

Our nutritionist asks for your liver scan report, liver enzymes (ALT, AST), lipid profile and blood sugar at the first call, and plans from those numbers.

Medicines and monitoring stay with your doctor

We never change, start or stop medication, and we do not interpret your scan. Your doctor sets the follow-up tests.

Cut what feeds the liver

Sugary drinks, sweets, refined flour, deep-fried food and alcohol are the first things to cut. Dal, sprouts, vegetables, curd, eggs or paneer and measured whole grains stay in the plan.

Weight and movement, at a pace you can keep

Weight loss is the change the trials link most with liver improvement, so the target is gradual. A daily walk and two or three strength sessions a week are built in from the start.

What the published evidence says

Talk to your doctor first if

  • See a doctor soon for yellow eyes or skin, swelling of the belly or legs, confusion, vomiting blood, or black stools.
  • See a doctor if you lose weight without trying, or if you have ongoing belly pain or unusual tiredness.
  • Your scan grade and blood results are read by your doctor. If they report fibrosis or raised liver enzymes, the doctor decides the next tests before the plan changes.
  • Your doctor makes the diagnosis, orders the liver tests and decides on any medicine.

Your doctor stays in charge of your medication, and we coach alongside their care.

FAQ

Common questions

Is fatty liver reversible?

Fat in the liver can fall with weight loss, and in a 52-week lifestyle study of 293 people with steatohepatitis, the highest rates of improvement came at weight losses of 10% or more (Vilar-Gomez et al., Gastroenterology, 2015). No one can promise a cure or a fixed result. Your doctor checks whether it has improved with repeat blood tests or a scan.

What is the best Indian diet for fatty liver?

Cut sugary drinks, sweets, white flour, deep-fried food and alcohol first. Build plates around dal, sprouts, vegetables, curd, eggs or paneer, and measured whole grains such as oats, brown rice or millets. The EASL-EASD-EASO 2024 guideline makes dietary change and weight loss part of the first step for adults with MASLD. Total calories matter more than any single food.

Which exercise helps fatty liver?

Both regular movement and strength training. In a 2023 meta-analysis of 14 studies with 551 people, exercise made a 30% or more drop in MRI liver fat about 3.5 times as likely as usual care, and the effect held even without weight loss over 5% (Stine et al., Am J Gastroenterol, 2023). The effect appeared at about 150 minutes of brisk walking a week. A daily walk plus two or three strength sessions a week is the usual starting point, built up gradually.

How fast does fatty liver improve with diet and exercise?

There is no fixed timeline, and it differs from person to person. We review food, weight and activity every week. Your doctor decides when to repeat the liver blood tests or the ultrasound, so progress is measured rather than guessed.

What does grade 1 vs grade 2 fatty liver mean?

On an ultrasound, grade 1 usually means mild fat in the liver and grade 2 means moderate fat, with grade 3 the most severe. The grade describes how much fat the scan sees. It does not on its own tell your doctor how the liver is functioning, so blood tests and sometimes a fibrosis check are needed alongside it.

Can thin or normal-weight people get fatty liver?

Yes. In a 2024 hospital study in India, 4.3% of 1,243 people screened at a COVID-19 vaccination centre had lean MASLD, meaning fatty liver with a normal body weight (Euroasian Journal of Hepato-Gastroenterology, 2024). Normal weight does not rule it out, so blood tests and a scan are the way to check.

Is alcohol safe with fatty liver?

Alcohol is one of the most important things to cut. The EASL-EASD-EASO 2024 guideline recommends discouraging alcohol consumption for people with MASLD. Ask your doctor what, if anything, is safe for your liver, and we will plan around that answer.

When should I see a doctor about fatty liver?

See a doctor soon for yellow eyes or skin, swelling of the belly or legs, confusion, vomiting blood, black stools, weight loss you did not try for, or ongoing belly pain. A raised liver enzyme or a scan that reports fibrosis also needs your doctor's review before you change the plan.
