Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a pathology 25 % of the world's adult population is progressively growing every year, which is a global health problem, as it is often associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiac vascular diseases. Currently, in the absence of approved drug therapy, the most appropriate strategy for the management of NAFLD patients with gradual weight loss by reducing the total amount of calories is quite diverse due to the individual characteristics of each case, as well as associated pathology [1]. Obviously, the optimal balance of diet and physical activity for weight loss should be considered as the most logical approach to lifestyle changes in terms of health, but this is not always possible, therefore, the primary emphasis in such cases should be on the individualization of the dietary strategy. The aim of our review is to compare the most current clinical guidelines and approaches to dietary therapy for NAFLD.
