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

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
