I can’t think of a better way to resolve these issues but to face them head on as they arise to tell me to not do the thing I’m doing and just eat some sweet things
...
I’m sure everyone has a tactic they use
Tactics don't work in my experience. Unless its a matter of life or death, like a crumb of gluten sends you to the hospital, you have to address the core wound that is driving that behavior.
You are engaged in a battle of wills against something with no willpower. These emotional wounds are relentless. Sure, you may win a wrestling match against it here or there, but you will never win every match. And even when you do win a match, the "opponent" is never actually defeated. You have to get down to the root of it. The real hard part is getting there, getting to that place where you can actually feel what you've repressed for so long. Actually feeling the core wound typically doesn't last long in my experience, minutes at most usually, but the sense of relief that comes with it is amazing. And your behavior will change naturally as a result, because the thing driving that behavior has now been resolved. One of the first steps, in my experience, is making cognitive space for the wound to be processed. This may mean admitting the issue is even there, the general idea of where it came from, how much its affecting you, etc. Part of processing these emotions is being able to intellectually understand them as well, merging right-brain with left-brain activity.
You mentioned addiction. You may want to check out one of the AA type groups. I have never tried one, but many people have good success there. They require you to take accountability for yourself, offer a supportive group environment, they force you to actually take action, whereas sometimes psychotherapy can turn into a series of endless yapping about our problems, and never actually DOing something about them.
I don't think that Carnivore diet is big on getting in fats so long as the normal amount of fat in the meat is still there and hasn't been removed.
I've been thinking about this since I started the diet. How much fat were our ancestors really eating? Outside of certain tribes like the Inuit, it couldn't have been much. And the fat they did get would've been from big game, and most of that game would've been ruminants, which in the wild are pretty lean. Their fat to protein ratio is not high. Not to mention, hunting big game was typically a collaborative effort, so one person or even one family would not have gotten all the fat from it.
Way more people than you can imagine cannot tolerate eggs
Just a few days ago I was lamenting how I couldn't eat cheese, and how easy that would make getting high fat would be, and then consoled myself with "at least you can eat eggs!" Sike!
The other thing is quantity. I can have eggs once a week, and have zero bad effects
And this makes a lot of sense, because our ancestors would not have been eating a ton of eggs. There are not *that* many birds nests out there, that are within reach, and would've had eggs in them at any given time. Eggs would've been an every once in a while sort of thing.
