Rabbit fever....all protein diet of fish an other wild game was equal to going no carb diet at home.

This guy was fit. Maybe ten percent body fat when he started. That an fact as a survivor you’d more than likely stay put waiting for rescue an not exert yourself shy of gathering firewood food an improving your shelter an ground to air signals.

Bears will eat the skin off fish for the fat an leave the meat.

This guy was killing himself with the Atkins diet zero carbs version.

You’d think he’d have done a LITTLE research before diving into this. A ten minute google search would have uncovered these basic wilderness survival/diet facts.

That's what roots and berries are for. Brains, organs and livers will do for the fats as well. His choice of a shotgun was idiotic though.

"Two weeks ago he tweeted about losing weight rapidly, saying his muscles were 'disappearing'. Most alarming of all, he counted his heartbeat at just 32 beats-per-minute. A healthy range is between 60 and 100 beats per minute."

Rabbit fever aka tularemia is at or near the top of the differential diagnosis. Muscle atrophy implies he wasn't eating anything. Maybe he ate hallucinogenic plants?

Eskimos, Inuits, etc. seem to have done OK.

The "it" is glucose. If not needed by cells, it’s converted to glycogen (animal starch), the main storage form of glucose. Glycogen is formed in the liver through glycogenesis. Glycogen is in all cells, but primarily stored in the liver & skeletal muscle cells. Once the liver’s store is used up, cells break down lipids & proteins to make glucose. It’s estimated that the liver has a 4 hour store of glucose for the body.
