Abstract

In this article, we review the current concepts about the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and evaluate the existing diets in the context of this knowledge and the available literature. The intent is to enable clinicians to evaluate the diets of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients and make rational decisions based on this perspective - in the absence of controlled trials - to help their patients. Finally, a tailored approach for the dietary treatment of NAFLD is offered as a way to optimize the dietary management of this condition.
