PSA for fatties who are dealing with non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). There is a prescription drug called Actos (generic is pioglitazone) that removes unhealthy visceral fat from your liver and converts it into healthy subcutaneous fat. It can also lower your blood sugar and make it easier to gain more weight. Especially in your thighs and butt if that is something you are interested in.
Like any drug it comes with side effects and risks of its own that may not be appropriate for your particular situation. You should discuss this with your doctor.
Personally I had to ask for it and my doctor really didn’t want to give it to me because of the weight gain side effect. But after a year of taking it every day my fatty liver was completely cured and my liver enzymes have been normal ever since after having been extremely high. My doctor was surprised at how well it worked and has begrudgingly admitted that he can’t really take me off of it even though he wants me to stop getting fatter because if he does my fatty liver will come back.
Before starting Actos my doctors all told me there was no treatment for fatty liver besides exercise and weight loss. This is not true. Your doctor may not know about this drug or may require some convincing to let you try it. It may not be available outside of the United States. But at least in my experience it really helped improve my health significantly. And helped me achieve some weight gain goals. I’ve been on it for 4 years now with zero problems.
