She reports that she has been feeling more tired and has gained about 15-20 pounds in the last year. She has been under much stress at work, raising her teenagers and assisting her elderly parents. At her visit, her doctor voices much concern over her lab work and weight gain. A 24-hour recall of her diet is also recorded (see food report Download see food report). She is diagnosed with NAFLD, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, and is set up with a follow-up with her physician after she sees a Registered Dietitian.
