The liver diet is an element of sahaja yoga which revolves around purifying the liver.
meaning
minimize
cream, fried foods, coffde, tobacco, fish, red meats. Heavy foods that will tax the liver. processed foods [coffee for example] and animal products.
chicken is white meat so doesn't apply to these rules..
maximize
fruits, vegetables, ghee, ginger [huge emphasis on ginger], and an indian fruit named kokum [mangosteen family] which can even be prepared as a tea for the benefits.
olives are spoken of graciously, and a salt-olive oil combo is recommended for oral hygiene
this cleanses the liver which is involved in a lot of natural chemical metabolism for the body and is the second largest organ [after your skin]. this is said to keep the body pure and helps the effects of meditation feel more pronounced.
there is even a treatment around using ice packs to cool down the liver so meditations will be felt more. other than this the other tool they recommend is soaking feet in salt water and using candles/ while meditating on bodies of water

the drained feeling of eating ice cream and french fries for example.. I bet comes from the higher level of stress and heat it puts on your liver trying to break down these unnatural foods.
Some ashrams in India will only eat dairy for animal products, and they produce it themselves from resident cows that they aim to take very good care of. They do not steal their calfs.
It is a delicacy, not a staple.
They have not lost the art of preparing legumes in delicious ways.
