Logically my opinion it seems better to eat daily small amounts 0.57 oz than eating the 4 oz liver in one day, anyone know this answer? Also I heard there's too much copper intake in liver so is there another...
This guy Liver King has been eating 3 ounces of liver everyday, sometimes twice a day as you see in his everyday stories. It is recommended to only eat 3-6 ounces of liver a week. How does he eat that...
I've heard from many people and blogs about lemon juice/lemon water cleansing or detoxing the liver. I was wondering where this hypothesis comes from and if there are any studies that seem to back it up. Thanks!

I just found out there is a thing called Vitamin A poisoning. For instance, eating polar bear liver could literally kill you because of the extreme amount of Vitamin A it contains. Now, I've seen people say that eating cod liver...
Can you actually get vitamin toxicity consuming too much?
First, I'm very much pro-IF and practitioner (estimating 8 years now doing 16:8 or 18:6). I'm simply trying to bolster my defence to certain and upcoming questions on my liver health due to the practice of IF. My numbers are...
Pork/Cow Liver is a cheap source of protein. It also tastes good if you can cook. I would like to get a consensus on the amounts a human can eat over week/month? Online I'm seeing so many varied numbers and standpoints (with...
I've been working on cutting back on the alcohol, but I find it too much fun to give up entirely. Sometimes the amount can raises some eyebrows, but I have solidified the habit of only drinking on weekends, and working...

Hello, I've read that processed sugars cause inflammation in the liver which inhibits its ability to uptake and metabolize lactic acid which hurts the aerobic system. I wanted to ask whether it's the high glycemic index of these carbs that cause...
Disclaimer: This is NOT to freak anyone out or spread paranoia. I was/am a huge supporter of water fasting, but really think it should only be done with the support and advice of medical professionals after what happened to me....

When articles say that alcohol can raise triglycerides, is it actually the alcohol (i.e., ethanol) responsible for this, or are they saying that consuming alcohol can lead to excess calorie consumption and therefore increases triglycerides? There is no real distinction...
So it makes sense that you want to start a fast with a filling meal that's low in carbs, so you don't end up craving food so easily. But I'm assuming after, say, a week of fasting, this choice of...
A single food or a meal doesn't matter
So I’ve had fish roe, cod liver, beef liver and bone marrow but are here other foods from different cultures that are very nutritious? I love goods from different cultures because a lot of the time the foods aren’t talk...
I'm super confused. Yesterday night I was in the 90s and now one hour after drinking 800ml of water with lemon and salts I'm at 114 without eating anything. 🤔 I've read a doctor saying when we fast the liver pulls...

One gram of carbohydrates provides four calories of energy. The body can store a maximum of 15 grams of glycogen per kilogram of body weight (15 grams per 2.2 pounds). This would mean that a 175-pound athlete could store up...
If that is true, are all those people that say they can’t lose weight like they used to before, and therefore end up losing motivation because they don’t see visual results most likely suffering from NAFLD? (yes, aside from the...
[https://nutritiondetective.com/](https://nutritiondetective.com/) Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I know they're some crank shit or something, but I couldn't find much info about them. Just curious if anyone has heard of them?
Does that mean zinc is important for muscle building and copper for organ function?
Hello r/nutrition! I have a question about fiber consumption as it relates to sugar metabolization. To protect the liver, does fiber need to be consumed simultaneously with the sucrose (e.g. fruit)? Is it just as beneficial to have a high fiber...

I have often read that organ meats are highly nutritious - more so than muscle meat. (I do know that a diet of polar-bear liver would be bad for me.) Today I read on an extremely popular diet/fitness blog that...

Is this normal? Last meal I had was yesterday at 4:30pm. Before drinking 800ml of lemon water with salts, my glucose was at 101 and 20 mins after drinking it I was at 109.
Will this enhance the benefits of fasting? Possibly harmful?
Which broth has the most bang for its buck? Chicken, beef, veggies etc.

As someone who has been fasting for years now, I was always under the assumption that the point of staying hydrated during a fast is to flush toxins out through your urine. There are only 3 ways to flush toxins...

I read that beef bone broth is good to sip before eating? Anyone else do this too?
So there's loads of debate around food supplements, particularly multivitamin tablets and whether very much of it gets absorbed and benefits you. ​ I've had tons of success however taking fish oil supplements, as it has been the only thing to clear...
Hi. I'm laying here wanting to sleep and i get this odd question into my mind. If we disregard the need of vitamins, minerals etc. (All handled by pills or something calorie free), and you have access to water. Would a...

What are your go to meals that are balanced with proteins, fiber, and fat?
Like steroids, let's say you're using something like glucosamine or creatine. If you take lots over the long run, is it possible that your body will stop producing them naturally?
I've been on IF before and hav fantastic results. With gym I could lose about 20 kg. But the older I get the less results I have. Now I'm M30 and my weight is 114 kg and height 185cm. After...
I recently heard this claim. Was wondering if it's true
Why don’t more people eat them or at least talk more about their unique nutrient profiles? Is it just that they’re gross? is that they’re tied to toxic masculinity and other disliked subcultures (in the west), or something of that...
Or is it a myth?
So I’ve read and heard that animal offals are the real superfoods as they are crazy nutrient dense. Pâté is mostly chicken liver and skin, but then it also has other additives and preserves and whatnot. Just wondering what everyone thinks...
Say you're getting at most 7-8% of your calories from added sugars which is within almost all standards for a healthy individual. Does lowering it to say 5% or giving it up altogether have any proven extra benefits? Whether in your...

Would there be any downsides to exclusively using fruit as your carb source? The rest of the diet would essentially just be meat and vegetables, no grains or roots/tubers.
When guidelines say that you should have 37 grams of sugar per day, does that just mean added sugar or does it include natural sugar as well?
Just got my blood results back and surprised to see that I have higher than normal bilirubin levels. I need to speak with my GP to investigate this further. Has anyone else gotten this from fasting? I’m female and it...
