I made some grass-fed bison liver tonight for the first time trying to get in touch with my inner Grok but found I could barely stomach the taste...are there any specific methods one uses to quell that horrible aftertaste that liver has?

Grok certainly didn't eat like that at all. Any meal you have that's low in carbs is non-issue, but even "carb-heavy" meals in the PB are still fairly low. They should consist of veggies or low-GI fruit that don't really cause much of an insulin spike. Even if a meal here or there does have a higher-than-ideal carb content, it's not thw end of the world. The PB is about avoiding the "chronic" high insulin that dogs most people day-in and day-out.

I had a question about balancing different nutrients. I notice that on a given day some meals may be only carbohydrate: blue berries and wine, or mostly fat: almonds. I could imagine other meals consiting of a few slices of meat, or just an apple. Is this ok, or should there be more balance meal to meal? The reason I ask is, as a crossfitter, the Zone is sacrosanct and a premise of the book/diet explains the importance of balance on a meal to meal basis. So, why/how is ok to just eat a handful of nuts, or bluberries, and how does this affect performance? Thanks, Patrick Hi it’s Patrick (the impetus for the post: thanks Mark!)

But so does a cold chicken leg, left over porkchop, flank steak, salmon, or anything else. No one said breakfast had to be eggs. Average, that works.

Do you have suggestions for alternatives? Should i just drink a protein shake and have a piece of fruit? Thanks, Hi Mark,

Personally, I gave up sugar for the most part only using honey for an occasional sweetener (on those delicious primal pancakes) or medicinally, and the only actual "sugar" taken premixed with very dark chocolate (85% or higher, as in Lindt bars) during menses. I've found, oddly enough to me, that after drinking coffee without sugar, my tongue no longer feels coated and fuzzy. And I don't miss the sugar! I only take 2 tbsp of heavy cream with my *decaf* coffee (I have GERD, and caffeine is rough on the tummy - thanks for your other article re: caffeine & reflux, btw - I feel validated finally!). And my monster salads - I make 'em in a medium mixing bowl, plates and soup bowls just don't hold them. No point here, just gloating. I was surprised to see you take sugar in your coffee!
