Though I don't want to test the last part (getting fat to increase chances of surviving winter) I decided to test the first bit as an n=1 uncontrolled experiment

While completely satisfied on pemmican I ate a mandarin orange. It immediately caused massive food noise for more of the same. It made me hungry enough to eat the pemmican I had left on my plate as well as another piece

No surprise that the modern western diet makes people obese, it's like perpetual summer

Though now I'm worried I might get a gout attack, which I didn't think of when I came up with this idea

So far an hour or two later I'm still ok, so I'm hopeful. Though I'm not out of the woods until tomorrow mid morning.

The food noise has gone

    document everything you can, if you do get a attack you can map out your triggers!

    fructose mega dosing! but I don't think a single orange will be enough to throw out your fructose metabolism.

    Last gout attack was after a small tub of yoghurt which had about 8g of sugar, so a single fruit could be enough, though it's buffered by fibre which the sugar in sweet yoghurt isn't
