Obesity has several complications, such as fatty liver and shortened life expectancy. One Japanese liver expert uses cabbage and tofu as the primary way to guide obese patients to lose weight.
Dr. Satoshi Ogata, a liver specialist of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery, together with hepatologists and diabetes specialists, opened an expert clinic for eliminating obesity and improving fatty liver disease and diabetes at the Saku City Municipal Kokuho Asama General Hospital in 2017. So far, over 80 percent of patients treated here with the cabbage and tofu method have lost an average of 5 kilograms (11 pounds) over three months and improved their fatty liver diseases.
