I follow the animal based diet now. One of the criticisms I hear about this diet from carnivores is that you have to be intentional about how much you eat in carbs because you can still overeat fruit. But if overeating fat is an issue on a carnivore diet, then that means I have to be intentional about that too. That’s not the idea they sold me lol my understanding was you should trust your body and eat until satiated.

I eat protein then fiber. Fat seems to come naturally without thinking. If I'm eating something really sugary I try to add nuts. Got that last bit from wearing a continuous glucose monitor for a bit. Amazing how much that lowers the blood sugar spike from identical carb loads.
Other than that avoid my trigger foods which pretty much forces me to eat home cooked whole foods anyways.
