When I fist found Cordian's website several weeks ago and read the FAQ, I was startled by the negativity about fat. Yea, like hunter-gatherers trimmed their steaks of fat... My own experience is that as I have incorporated intermittent fasting into my whole routine over the past couple of months my appetite has been changing dramatically. At first it was a hunger for nice big steaks to the exclusion of everything else, however, over time it has moved squarely to one thing: animal fat. I do pretty intense fasts, 30 hours, with a intense workout at the end, before eating. I can definitely see me coming around to 70-80% from, fat, 15-20% protein, and just a bit of carbs, infrequently. Mark:

Yes, I know I can order off the internet - my point is simply that for some people it really *is* hard or expensive to get grass-fed beef! @ Kim:

I was kind of shocked to read your previous post recommending "lean meats," as I didn't have you pegged as someone who'd succumbed to that nonsense. (I almost made a comment similar to markus's, but didn't have the time.) Also, for those who don't want to buy a whole side or quarter of grass-fed meat at a time, you can get much smaller cuts at www.grasslandbeef.com. Thanks for making this post, Mark.

It would have been very difficult for hunter-gatherers to get enough total calories through lean protein alone. I just wrote about this the other week (sorry, not trying to be self-promotional): http://www.mattmetzgar.com/matt_metzgar/2008/01/the-big-fat-pay.html I’ve been thinking about this issue a good deal myself.
