Thanks for chiming in.I have been on a low-to-almost-zero vitamin A diet for over 2 years now.
I had clinical hypervitaminosis A - and excluding it did help a few symptoms, but just the elimination of it wasn’t sufficient to make progress in regards to gut health, liver function and my other health problems.
I think targeting the sluggish liver is key. That requires work on phase 1, 2 & 3 of liver detoxification — including sulfation, methylation, acetylation, glucoronditation, elimination etc.
It's been a couple of days since I stopped taking liquid D3 completely. And reduced my VA significantly, but I am far from strict low A. I just stopped eating eggs and cheese. My craving for them is currently low.
I've been eating beans daily. Beef (ground beef and sirloin) for protein. White rice, millet, corn tortillas as starch. Apples/ apple juice, pears, bananas, raisins.
Main supplements I take are Taurine and caffeine
So far, I definitely don't feel worse. If anything slightly better. The combination of starch and protein gives me blood sugar stability, I feel mentally and emotionally stable.
But it's definitely way too early to draw conclusions.
