Stefansson wrote much about eating nothing but pemmican and conducted
several studies among military draftees prior to WWII.  Doing so results
in the same effect as juice fasting or total diprivation - almost
complete removal of intestinal flora.

I suggest drying 10 lbs. of meat into pemmican and then eating nothing
else until it's gone!  Unlike other methods of fasting, your metabolism
won't fall and you won't experence any nutritional deficiencies.  You can
actually work out while you fast!  If you have adjusted to this fast when
the first batch is done, make a second batch and continue.  You can
thrive this way for months (and it certainly makes food selection and
preparation easier)!

Adkins has a similar "plateau buster" called the fat fast.  Very few
people ever try it.  A pemmican fast is in many ways easier.
