Shrinking Liver Question

Hello, I understand the reason for shrinking the liver. I actually gained weight from when I first went to the dr so now I have 18 pounds to lose instead of ten so I started a little over a week ago trying to lose instead of waiting until the two weeks before as I was told by my doctor.

So I am doing slimfast or herbalife for breakfast and dinner and eating one meal a day with two snacks. I am doing healthy snacks like yogart, jello, etc. I am slowly moving away from soda and I have already cut my coffee to half/half and when this container runs out will switch to decaf.

I am not perfect and have cheated some but am trying to get used to eating this way. I am also at the gym 3-4 days a week with 30 minutes of cardio and some light weight training.

Doing this, I have lost 3 pounds in about two 1/2 weeks. So my question is, will this shrink my liver if I keep at it or is there something special I should be doing that I am not yet doing? I am a sweetaholic and my therapist told me that if I can make it 15 days straight without sugar, I can "probably" kick the habit for good so that will start on Saturday because I want to eat a little bit of candy tomorrow. Not much because I don't want to gain anymore weight.

Is this the right path? I think so but wanted to get the opinions here since we are all going through it or have gone through it already.

Thanks for all the help!
