The liver shrinking diet is something not many people know about unless you’re going to have bariatric surgery. That said, it doesn’t mean it’s something you couldn’t try for yourself as a weight loss tool.

Typically, before undergoing bariatric surgery, patients must subject themselves to a pre-operative diet, which has been branded as the liver shrinking diet. This diet is low in sugar, fat, and carbohydrates.

The purpose of the diet is to reduce the glycogen stores and lipids in the liver. As the lipids and glycogen leave the body, some water also leaves the liver, making it shrink.
