Monitoring Changes in Hepatic Steatosis Using Continuous Controlled Attenuation Parameter

All patients will attend sessions weekly in the first 2 months and monthly in the remaining 4 months. The programme focuses on reducing caloric intake and increasing energy expenditure. At the first visit, the dietitian will perform a complete behavioural assessment including the patient's eating and lifestyle patterns, specific eating-related behaviours, knowledge, concerns and feelings. A target body weight will be set. During follow-up visits, the dietitian will review the patient's dietary pattern and provide recommendations. Each patient will be given an individualised meal plan. The dietary component and portion size are based on recommendations by the American Dietetic. The patients will be taught techniques to cope with at-risk situations such as parties and festival celebrations. In addition, the patients will be encouraged to have a combination of aerobic exercise and resistance training with intensity and frequency following the Physical Activity Guidelines.
