Keto has been on my mind, but I wasn't sure if a higher fat diet would be a good idea....but I haven't really dove in and researched it all that well. Using stored fat for energy does seem like it should be an effective way to alleviate some of that...

If you don't wont to be so restrictive on keto - just eating real foods (no boxes/grains) will help reverse the fatty liver. I'd imagine keto would speed it up, but there is no evidence of that. The basic knowledge on the research is crappy diets lead to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

Sadly, NAFLD is becoming more prevalent in children....and we know they *aint* pounding the beers. Roughly twenty years ago there wasn't much distinction between NAFLD and fatty liver disease, which was originally though to be from alcohol consumption...but the fact that kids were being diagnosed with it really opened some eyes and now we have the research we have today. This small subset of health shows the slow movement in medical advice (as should be the case).
