I find the longer I'm doing strict Paleo eating, (on and off for 8 years), the 
more I instinctually crave fat over protein, hands down.  Sometimes I look down 
at my breakfast plate of 2-3 ounces of sauteed pork belly,  two eggs sauteed in 
coconut oil or pork fat, and some greens drizzled with olive oil, and I wonder 
if I'm playing roulette with a loaded gun... LOL.  I find myself telling the 
butcher to keep 2 inches of fat rind on the pork chops, and I can sit and devour 
lamb fat like candy. My family knows the drill:  pass me the leftover fat that 
that's left over on their plate!  Almond butter slathered on berries is my only 
vice... okay, maybe the occassional unsweetened cacao powder mixed in to the 
almond butter.....:). Other than being 10 lbs over my pre Paleo weight,  which 
was a bit on the skinny side, I don't have any complaints with how its going.  
I'm able to stay nice and warm in the winter!  I'll try to get a blood 
cholesterol reading soon and will report back to the group.

 It's basically a low carb 
diet that contains less protein than Atkins and 70%+ fat.  .  But 
the only way to sustain 70%+  fat while also restricting protein is by 
eating added pure fat such as cream, butter or lard -- oil etc.
