Hypothesis fruit causes hunger to allow eating lots, getting fat for winter (aussie.zone)

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

I don't know if that's it, when I was on the common diet I needed the highest dose of allopurinol to prevent gout and during that time I was following the guidelines and having at least 5 serves a day of fruit and vegetable

Your gut microbiome has changed since then I imagine. If you stopped eating fruit then whatever gastrointestinal flora that subsisted on it to survive probably decreased substantially. That could change how your body reacts to a reintroduction of something you used to eat before.

Your body also gets used to things if you eat them often. If I cut down on sugar for a while then eat it again I find my body reacts a lot more strongly to it than if I eat it regularly.

I used to drink 4x4 coffee a long time ago (4 sugar 4 milk) and that felt normal to me. I stopped doing that and quit cold turkey for about a year (switched to plain tea) and when I tried my usual 4x4 again it tasted cloying sweet and made me feel a little sick even.

I could probably work up to drinking it comfortably but even though I drank it for years before every day I couldn’t suddenly start up again.

Yes, what you eat does change your microbiome. I don't think there has been a study on carnivore diet faeces, my last poo test didn't come up with anything
