Just FYI
Adding liver to my diet had negative effects on energy levels that seemed like it could be the beginning of vitA toxicity.
The two most outspoken carnivores who pushed liver also ended up claiming carbs were necessary. The people who have been doing carnivore for decades don't eat liver.
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 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.
Control your intake. Most recommend like 1 serving of 5-10 ounces a WEEK.
I think people get a bit too jazzed about liver and start eating ancestrally inappropriate amounts.
TLDR: eat a whole liver, a cube a day, and see how you feel.
Sauce: it is ancestrally appropriate to eat 1-2oz of liver every day.
