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...
I've heard this from family members who think high fructose corn syrup, or fructose in generally is "bad sugar". Why?

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....
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...
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...

Can you actually get vitamin toxicity consuming too much?
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'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...
So, I'm 31F (242 lbs, 5'6"). I've yoyo dieted all my life. I've discovered keto in 2019 and easily went down 40 lbs (was 240 back then). Anyways, I broke my butt, then my right foot again, switch cities, switched...
Hi guys I have fatty liver since 16 years old, now I am 27, I started lifting after I was diagnosed and have been consistently doing so before pandemic hit. Yesterday I just got another ultrasound and blood test, my...
I regularly read that the idea of "toxins" just existing in our body is bullshit, and that our liver and kidneys do their job of removing any toxins. But then I have also seen studies like: [glyphosate (herbicide) being found...
I just started following this guy on IG. I'm trying to improve my health this year and diet is part of that. Has anyone heard of this guy and have informed opinions on his approach to nutrition? I searched this...
I feel like the vast majority of interest in fasting is related to weight (fat) loss. I know this may sound novice, but what are all the known physiological/physical benefits to fasting, that are not DIRECTLY related to weight loss? I...
- If sugar turns to fat - bad (not sure why but that's almost common knowledge) - If regardless of how much cake you have you don't let yourself get fat, does sugar still affect the system in a bad way? (Leave...
First: Sorry for my bad English. I have a problem. I need to lose weight due to high liver enzymes. I thought, IF would be a good, healthy way, because in the fasting time, my liver can regenerate. But it's always...
I know vitamins are good
I am wondering this because both of these 2 things affect the liver (and are possibly absorbed by it?) and I know that the liver is where ketones and many hormones are produced. Thus, will these things activate the liver...
With the rise in nonalcoholic beverages, I'm curious if there's any difference from someone switching to solely drinking NA beers (0.5% ABV or less), to someone who does not drink any alcoholic beverages at all. I'll see articles suggest that...
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...
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...
I just read Filonov‘s book and he said It is important to do these and should not fast without doing these cleanses first. I was hoping to avoid these and just start with a 20hr fast and...

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...
Couldn't make sense of what I found: "The UL for vitamin A from retinol is 3,000 micrograms of preformed vitamin A." A slice of pan fried beef liver has 6272.6μg of Vitamin A. In my understanding of the text, this...
So everybody knows the benefit of protein especially for muscles. But let's talk about protein suplements in sports. I think it's clear that (especially in bodybuilding/fitness) protein is suplemented in an high amount that would be difficult to eat everyday....
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...

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.
