Maybe you should consult a nutritionist, he would give you the right advice on what foods are good for your body and what your intake should be.

Cod liver oil is a good source of Vitamin D, Vitamin A and long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA).  It is believed that these three nutrients are the major nutritional factors in cod liver oil that give it so many health promoting benefits.  Vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels (especially in the spring after lack of sunlight production of vitamin D during the winter).  Western diets are seriously deficient in the omega-3 fatty acids, so a little cod liver oil daily can really help with this epidemic deficiency.\n\nBest wishes.

Detoxifying the liver\nVarious nutrients are required in order for the liver detoxification to be carried out successfully. An adequate supply of key antioxidants is essential to prevent further liver damage. Milk thistle, vitamin C, selenium, beta carotene, vitamin E, and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) are all powerful antioxidants which are helpful in liver detoxification.\n\nThe amino acid SAM-E plays an important role in liver health, in addition to helping with depression. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage in the diet have been shown to enhance liver detoxification. I use those regularly when vegetable juicing.\n\nThe B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin, also aid in liver detoxification.

Water has to be iced as the body will burn 100 calories just heating the water to normal body temperature. Also hunger pangs are very often thirst pangs, so this will help you stop over eating.\nAdd lemon to flavour if you wish and gain the added benefit of cleansing your liver at the same time.\nWater also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush waste quicker. When you don't drink enough water the liver needs to help the kidneys perform this function.

It is believed the antioxidant catechins in green tea boost the metabolism and help burn fat.\nChilli sauce & mustard\nThese foods increase your calorie burning capacity by between 5 - 10% for up to 2 hours after eating.

my grandma used to use cod liver oil for gall bladder issues, not to lose weight. I'd drink lots of water, eat fruits, veggies, whole grain, low fat cereal and milk and walk, walk, walk.  Good Luck, you can do it!

First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives. \n\nAnother deterrent to good health is stress, which triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system. While these hormones can provide the "adrenaline rush" to win a race or meet a deadline, in large amounts they create toxins and slow down detoxification enzymes in the liver. So it's a good idea to detox stressful life situations along with detoxifying your body.\n\n10 Ways to Help Your Body Detoxify\n\n1. Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.\n\n2. Cleanse and protect the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and milk thistle, and drinking green tea.\n\n3. Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins.\n\n4. Drink at least 2 quarts of water daily.\n\n5. Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system.\n\n6. Transform stress by emphasizing positive emotions.\n\n7. Practice hydrotherapy by taking a very hot shower for five minutes, allowing the water to run on your back. Follow with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this three times, and then get into bed for 30 minutes.\n\n8. Sweat in a sauna so your body can eliminate wastes through perspiration.\n\n9. Dry-brush your skin to remove toxins through your pores. Special brushes are available at natural products stores. \n\nFinally, 10. What is the most important way to detoxify? "Exercise," says Bennett. "Yoga or jump-roping are good. One hour every day."

Citrus Fruits (acidy ones like grapefruit, oranges, etc...) as well as pickles (and anything else with a lot of vinegar, if there is anything else with vinegar) work really well!

Try your hardest to save your gallbladder. I would recommend a gallbladder flush and avoid cooked fats. Rather try raw fats such as olive oil, raw cheese, coconut oil and avoid eating cooked fats. Take a digestive enzyme with a lot of lipase in it to digest fat. Vitamin C will also be beneficial. See a good board certified acupuncturist and apply Castor oil packs to the liver gallbladder area every night. If you are female and taking birth control pills (hormones) I would recommend that you find an alternative form of contraception. Always remember that God knew what he was doing when he designed your body. It is a self-healing organism. We should never remove something before fighting with all your might to save it. .....Good luck!
