I suggest American Liver foundation:
http://www.liverfoundation.org/education/info/progression/
their educational info, with free brochures:

plenty of info, and you can even find a doctor on their site, who lives near you and maybe of help.
The best thing to do is talk to his Dr, he can recommend a nutritionist that will be able to help with your husbands diet.
Hi there.
The best way to go is to eat natural raw foods. Raw vegetables, raw fruits, and also whole grains would be best. Try to juice vegetables too. Stay away from fast food, fried foods, and prepared foods from the supermarket. Make sure you know everything that goes into his meals. Stay away from unhealthy fats, but don’t forget the good fats like in olives or olive oil.
For exercising, he could do light weight lifting and light cardio. It’s good to start off really slow with his condition.
It would be a good idea to do a liver cleanse too. You can find a lot of liver cleanses at the Vitamin Shoppe. Milk Thistle supplement is the best liver cleanser.
Take care, and I pray that your husband recuperates quickly. God bless you both!
First, lets talk about the foods you should limit their quantity in your meal:
* White bread
* Butter
* Most prepared breakfast cereals (usually contain high levels of sugar)
* White rice
* Concentrated sugar
* Fat rich meals, like – hamburger, pizza, etc
* High-glycerin food
* High-cholesterol food (eggs for example – limit yourself to two eggs per week)
* Carbonated drinks
* Fried food / Fast food
Now let’s take a look on some foods you should try to focus on:
* All kinds of vegetables (broccoli is highly recommended)
* Fruits (2-3 slices per day – try to avoid bananas as it contains a lot of glucose)
* Beans and unprocessed grains
* Whole grain bread
* Skim milk instead of whole milk
* Food with high level of proteins
Moderation is the key
Please remember that I’m not recommending to never eat the mentioned food above. It’s all about moderation. Eating your favorite food once a while is no crime, but you should limit yourself and look, and monitor your progress. Determination is the key to your success.
In addition, remember that weight loss is the most affecting way to cure a liver disease. And the best affecting way to do so, it by a combination of eating different food and exercise. Physical activity helps to burn your fat much faster, and replaced it with muscles.
