I am still in a strange love with peanuts. yesterday I ate about 1g, it was already a relaxed day…
I love the taste and the CRUNCH!
But my body mildly dislikes when I eat them in an endless loop so I don’t do that anymore. But a little bit happens on some of my off days. I expect this to go away.
I never desire them on carnivore, of course, carnivore makes all of my problematic desires go away (on the first weeks at least, I still don’t know what comes later) except coffee.
But why? Are you still able to eat horribly sweet things? I easily went to cake shops without any temptation years ago. I can’t eat anything with normal sweetness at this point, at least not alone. Chocolate is always possible, I just need a ton of black coffee.
I have my weeknesses galore but it definitely helps I find a lot of things too sweet. Peanuts are fine as mine are roasted and heavily salted but they are quite sweet too and I probably will reach the point where I can’t enjoy them due to their sweetness (except in desserts, maybe but I don’t like that. I always ate my peanuts salted, even my peanut fat bombs were salty. I dislike peanut butter)…
I have ice cream now, by the way. I stop this tomorrow but I had circumstances so I experiment too. Well, my normal food is way more tempting at this point. It’s good I didn’t do much. (I had to use up things so making ice cream was logical now that I already took a tiny break. But a very soft break, in the past I did a low-carb day and now I am waaaay stricter than on my old keto.)
Oh I know that too and yep, I always can eat more in that situation (when I was a very beginner, at some times I actually ate as much as I possibly could at every meal, I always ate when I could, I didn’t wait for hunger at all, I ate when satiated too and still managed to undereat. but it was short-lived, my body can’t be that confused for long). I don’t have really tiny meals, usually. Once I was full with a single egg but it never happened again.
And I don’t have a huge energy need but I always was used to much food, I am still usually able to eat a bit more than I should so it’s not good to eat as much as I could all the time either.
But when I have this super easy satiation, that may be a problem.
If I wait a bit or use certain food items, I can eat more but if I ate a significant amount of meat, I get a very serious stop signal, I can’t eat more. And my second meal tends to be smaller… I have great eating skills, seriously overeating on keto is not even a challenge but carnivore and meat, that’s something special.
Maybe I should totally stuff myself at dinner (and hope it’s temporal). I will try that. But with what? Non-satiating items are dangerous, they run away with my energy intake while not being particularly satiating longer term either (me being satiated in the end of my meal is one thing and not very important. it’s more important to be satiated in the next 20 hours or something and not being forced to eat at midnight).
Meat may be too effective short term (sometimes it works great, sometimes not). And I can’t always eat eggs galore easily, not even when hungry.
Oh well, I will figure out eventually, thinking probably doesn’t help much at this point.
I am very full now, I did a double lunch, ate a bit first (quick satiation) then had some more food later when Alvaro had his meal. Hopefully my dinner will be big enough. I go for eating as much as I can today.
By the way, I don’t necessarily feel “full”. I feel very satiated and I can’t eat anymore.
(Is there fullness feeling with an empty stomach, btw? Because I definitely feel so sometimes. I am usually just so satiated I can’t eat but sometimes I feel my belly/body in general is full 20 hours after my previous meal. Not on carnivore though, at least not now.
But let’s not complicate things with my wild signs running almost completely independently from each other. Fullness is totally irrelevant except if it’s stomach fullness as I am unable to eat then, no matter what. But it’s short living. At least I only could reach my ~2 liters limit with lots of water and that leaves quickly.)
I don’t think it will be easy but I will figure it out.
Oh and I didn’t even mention my fortunately not very strong mental attitude about eating as little as possible, that was a very good attitude to have before carnivore, not like it did much good, I still ate too much almost all the time… I had the opposite for a while but as food choices heavily influence my energy intake on any woe and I want to be satiated while losing fat, it’s not this simple.
No, I will eat at midnight or at 2am and I will feel a bit worse the next morning. I dislike that.
I don’t have problems with 1000 kcal or 2200 kcal days (1600-1800 would be ideal for me as far as I know, at least if my activity is the usual. it’s not counted using some deficit and guess about my energy need, this is exactly the amount I feel right with. less and I probably get too hungry at midnight, more… okay, more doesn’t often happen on carnivore but I wouldn’t expect fat-loss with it… but it’s a moot point). I only have problems with hunger after midnight. It’s not my natural eating time but that’s not the problem, I can sleep as bad as always… But I started to feel some slight pressure after those nights and I tend to get hungry earlier and it’s a vicious circle as the earlier my meal, the smaller it is, usually.
So it’s not good. I am not miserable or desperate, it’s not that bad… But I am not content and I want to be. I want my cute TMAD back (just usually, of course I have different days and that’s fine to some extent), with proper sized meals (and a bit bigger appetite if possible, I don’t mean the amount, I mean the desire. I miss enjoying my meals fully as in the past. I eat good stuff but it’s different. But I am patient with that part).
I am not even sure I can stuff myself. It’s so unnatural and I like when carnivore totally works for me. I eat when hungry, stop when I feel like it… That’s nice. Thinking about when I should stop to do things right for the future… Not nice. 
But I will try to eat as much as I comfortably can at dinner. Not at lunch as if I stuff myself there, I may get hungry 10-12 hours later only… I had such days. And that means a big meal (the bigger the distance, the bigger the meal, usually). Even at 3am if I am still awake (which is often).
I just reacted but I try to hide these very personal problems when I am unsure what to do, even I can’t effectively help myself, it will get sorted out somehow. I will survive quite well until then.
It will be flat as it only has eggs but it’s still nice.
So it’s a hit.
Cool to see everyone having a good time out and about.
