Summary:
Steffanson's diet was 80% fat - 125 grams protein and 250 grams fat per day.
Getting the correct percentage of fat is important. Note - Koujou while eating a little more protein (160 grams) compared to fat (100 grams) did not do well. He had brain fog, tiredness, and carvings.
But when he moved to 70-80% fat and 20-30% protein, about 100 grams protein and 100 grams fat, he is clear-minded, able to sleep better, and has no cravings.
Fats that he eats: Butter and Coconut oil (since the meat at his place is lean as it is in many other places.)
Note from below: even Esmee La Fleur after two years of trying is finding it difficult to get 80% fat. (Your note; Perhaps, goat tripe and brain could provide adequate amount 80% fat).
Esmée La Fleur- I have known for some time that I need about 80% of my calories from fat, but I have had a heck of a time finding a cut I can eat that would provide it. But even when I did manage to get enough fat, the quality of the fat on the cheaper cuts of beef does not agree with me the way the fat on the PRIME grade does.
After almost two years on ZC, I am still making discoveries like this and refining my program.
but I have not had the opportunity to try freshly made raw butter.
Astrid Tanis - When I started this WOE I could not tolerate coconut fat. Now after one and a half year ZC I seem to tolerate small amounts, and I like the taste.

Since reading "Eat fat. Grow slim" by R. Mackarnass I have been experimenting with upping fat and decreasing protein. I used to eat one huge meal with lots of protein - between 120 and 160 gr of protein and 80 to 100 gr of fat - but in the last couple of months I started to notice tiredness, cravings which caused me to snack on cheese (my bane!), and worst of all, bouts of brainfog.
Then I read "Eat fat. Grow slim" and decided to go for more fat and less protein. Well, I am clear-minded again, I sleep like a baby, and I no longer feel the need to snack on cheese.
Now I am eating between 80 to 100 gr of protein and 100 to 120 gr of fat. So, about 70 to 80% fat and 30 to 20% protein - very much as advised by Mackarnass or as done by Stefansson.
I add fat in the form of butter and coconut oil (I like it) because even so-called fatty meat is very lean over here.
I am normal weight by now. I'd like to lose another 10 pounds, not because I have to but because I want to be faster at boxing and I feel that those 10 pounds are holding me back. I don't know if it will work on this protocol, but right now, I am enjoying this utter clarity of mind :-)
