Tallow and Lard would be 100%. I was tempted to make pemmican today, but jerky is too expensive... bleh. I can tolerate lactose, so I tend to use butter instead of other cooking fats. Richard seems to suggest that more coconut oil/butter/milk might produce good lipids, but then again recent posts in the paleo community suggests that lipid numbers are meaningless by themselves. re: weight-loss being "high fat," these posts by Richard: http://freetheanimal.com/2008/12/all-diets-are-high-fat-diets.html http://freetheanimal.com/2009/04/losing-weight-is-pretty-much-like-eating-lard.html Ghee or clarified butter is pretty close, maybe 99%.

I thought you were saying that fasting was easy because you were on a 100% fat diet for the rest of the time. I read too fast. And yes, pemmican isn't 100% fat, I just couldn't think of anything that was! Ah! I thought you were saying that fasting was easy because you were on a 100% fat diet for the rest of the time.

Peter et al have mentioned that low-calorie starvation diets are "high fat" diets, because one gets their energy from fat stores. Same can be said for fiber that gets fermented into palmitic acid by colonic bacteria. Pemmican is jerky + fat at a 1:1 ratio, anyway, so that'd be 70% :) No – I mean, while fasting, the energy I burn is stored body fat, hence 100% of energy from fat.
