A teaspoon of liver every other day is not going to cause Vitamin A toxicity. You are at far greater risk for deficiencied that organs, especially liver, can resolve.

Vitamin A alarmism comes from 2 datapoints: studies showing synthetic vit A at 100s times what could reasonably be obtained through beef liver, and an anecdote about a dude dying from polar bear liver, which has 100x retinol to beef liver.

Eat in moderation and a single liver will last at least 3 months. Ignore Vitamin A hysteria.

Paul Saladino and Liver King got too zealous on organs, seeing them as unlimited super foods.

Also, to try and discredit Paul because he's adapted his position on carnivore as a permanent animal ketosis state to include fruit and honey fructose to support high athleticism is a bit unfair.

Make liver <1% of your intake. Like Brandon Quittem from Twitter does: microdose it.

Paul now talks about consuming ~300g of carbs a day. He's retarded.

Shawn Baker demonstrates far better athletic performance without the carbs.

And actually the other one I was thinking about was that carnivore Aurelius account on twitter that was a liver pusher who went back to carbs.

Keeping carbs below 30g a day is best IMO. Some whole fat yogurt can be benefitial from time to time & that has carbs.

I'm less convinced that permanent, long term ketosis is healthy in metabolically fit people. Glucose has a role, especially in athelticism. Shawn does well on animal keto for lifting and rowing, to be fair.

I also like bananas. 😂

I'm not talking about any hysteria, I'm talking about my personal experience & what I've observed in the people I follow.

I don't think it's necessary, but if you want a multivitamin like food, oysters seem like a potentially better option.

Fair.

I rotate between beef liver, oysters, cod/salmon roe, and cod liver.

I probably have a small handful (1-2oz) of beef liver a month. FWIW conventional medicine says pregnant women can have as much as 10,000IUs a day.
