Keto Carnivory: MTHFR Mutation; Accidentally Eating Too Lean

I was reading about the MTHFR gene mutation. I have it, heterozygous on one gene. The theory is that it may make a person less able to process B vitamins. However, I eat liver regularly. I also have checked my folate levels since being carnivore and they are good. I had homocysteine checked prior to carnivore diet and it was fine then. So I will just continue to eat beef, lamb, or goat liver regularly (as well as all the organ organ meats that I enjoy) and not worry about it.

In other news, I have been getting some foot cramps lately. I think I am eating too lean.

So I have been reserving my mutton and goat fat from the slow cooker. When I eat liver, I add that to it. But maybe not enough. I might get a grinder for the liver, and really get good amounts of fat added to make a nice paté.

When I eat kidney, I eat it with sweetbreads (pancreas and thymus) for the fat. So I know I get enough fat in that meal.

I also just got some more beef tendon, with which I made aspic. I need to add fat to that for sure! I grated a bunch of fat on top of the aspic. Works great, and looks like parmesan cheese!

I have really been enjoying all of these organ meats for the variety, nutrition, and low cost!

I have given up the ballet Barre for now because of the foot cramping.
