A better guide to zero carb is here: http://tinyurl.com/d3qbhu (although 
one must register).

Geoffrey Purcell's comments are valid, except that vit. C is evidently 
needed only for carbohydrate digestion. There is something else in raw 
meat that takes its place.
The experience of  both Stefansson and Bear shows that vitamin 
supplements are not needed.

I get my grassfed organic beef from a farmer; you could also probably do 
that.

There are too many bad things about modern lard. I would not use it.
Coconut oil is not an adequate replacement for animal fat. Our bodies do 
not use it the same way.
Tallow is the way if cooking, and if you can't buy it is easily made by 
baking hide fat in a non-metallic vessel at 225°F overnight. (ceramic on 
steel)
