Liver Diet

Hello, world. Welcome to my blog.

A family member was somewhat recently (7 weeks ago) diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I find myself in a position of being the person in the family with a sufficient interest in cooking, understanding of biochemistry and nutrition, and willingness to get out pencil and paper and start calculating out sodium, calories, protein, etc.

I've had to learn a lot so far. What is required. What is recommended. What is disallowed. Where does sodium hide. What sneaky ways can I find to make nutrition palatable. Along the way I was frustrated by the typical lack of quality online information on the topic.

Therefore this blog exists to share what I've learned.

More next time, when I plan to list some essential tips and tricks to make the liver diet slightly easier.
