Lex,
I read the whole journal and I am very fascinated from your journey, your thinking and the way you express yourself through your writings. First of all I want to wish you good luck and thank you for sharing all the valuable information and ideas with us. I am new in the "carnivore" WOE and I have a few observations/questions based on what I read so far. I would appreciate any insight or ideas:

1. I noticed that when you first went "higher fat-lower protein", you initially lost weight (160-155); still though after a few weeks on the diet you claim that higher fat ratios might cause you to gain weight. Did I interpret that correct?
2. I have also noticed that you believe there is some kind of association/relation between calories and weight gain? Do you have anything new to add here? or maybe expand your rationale a little bit further?
3. When you went on a trip and you had to dine on the breakfast buffet at the hotel, you gained 9-10 pounds. I know that sometimes bacons and processed-meats contained small amounts of glucose. Do you think that this might have been the reason you ended up with a weight gain?

P.S I really liked the pemmican manual!
