> William >  The ratio of fat:meat is perfect

The proper ratio for those on a low to zero carb diet of fat to  
protein is 75 to 85 percent fat (by calories) to 25 to 15 percent  
protein.  I'm certain well made pemmican meets this requirement --  
personally, I love "75% lean" ground beef.

The key -- and very few well-informed, well-meaning low carb paleo  
advocates get this -- is to LIMIT PROTEIN INTAKE to approximately  
100g per day, making up the balance in quality fats.  For those  
starting out, it can be hard to do for the first few days.  But once  
over that hump, it becomes almost instinctive.
