He should follow his doctors recommendations. If overweight he should lose weight per his doctors guidance and recommendations.

In general the”Heart Smart” diet isalso a liver smart diet.

Elevated liver enzymes indicate something is irritating the liver in this case excess fat cells inside the liver. Elevatedliver enzymes do not correlate to amount of liver damage.

Best of luck to you both.
