If your doctor tells you that you need to lose weight you should go on a calories restricted diet ( as set by your doctor) in order to achieve your goal weight. You should also include exercise of a part of your plan. The basis of your diet should be that you are reducing sugars and grains. In other words you will be on a low carb diet. Rather than eating six meals per day, try to eat every three waking hours. This will give most people between 5 and 6 meals per day. Your aim at every meal should be to consume ‘clean’ or low fat foods. You should especially limit saturated fats. You’ll have to get into the habit of reading food labels in the supermarket to know which products contain a lot of saturated fats. Those are the ones you’ll put back on the shelf. Even though unsaturated fats are much better than saturated fats, you should also use them sparingly. You still want a diet low in total fat.

You should also avoid sugar and high sugar foods. Your liver uses all of that sugar to increase it’s triglyceride production. A low triglyceride diet should also not include alcohol.
