Ha, low protein, my most dastardly heretical position :)
I don't know if it's just in the context of a broken metabolism, or a genetic thing, or what could cause it. But protein content is by far the most direct and noticeable level for me in the short term (besides carbs, of course, but those have been out of the question for nearly a decade now).
In an evolutionary sense I'm not sure. Would it ever be useful to gain crazy amounts of fat when eating high protein? I guess it's ye olde feast & famine theory, just adapted to people in cold climates where the feast was likely meat from a fresh kill, not some sort of tropical fruit or tuber?
Or did my ancestors overadapt to dairy, becoming unable to live off meat alone and instead requiring whatever (fat? minerals?) is in dairy, maybe even the dairy fat? That's a theory I've heard thrown around.
By the way, smoking while swimming?! You old worlders really are a decadent bunch of bohemians. Good Lord, no wonder we fled to the New World.
>Would it ever be useful to gain crazy amounts of fat when eating high protein?
It makes no sense to me at all. But then the magic effect of ex150ish was pretty surprising too. But it's weird that one thing made my weight fall at a terrifying rate (and continue doing that long after I stopped it), and the second thing (which was the same as the first thing but with extra beef and cheese and beans) made suddenly switch to rising at the same rate.
That looks like a homeostat mysteriously getting fixed and then mysteriously breaking again.
Currently out in the fens, with only double cream and beef stew aboard. I'll let you know how it goes!
P.S. Have you tried freezing your cream with vanilla in it? Totally lovely. Could use some sugar....

I'm not particularly into vanilla, so no.

Of course, that's where all the good tobacco is!
