Eating any sort of "fat foods" stress me out?

[Anonymous]

So I wanted to try to a ketogenic diet because I want to lose 20lbs. amd it's seriously stressing me out. I haven't let myself eat high fat foods since 9th grade. And I've beat myself into having a strict diet.
But now I'm looking to change and it's awful. I made myself chicken and vegetables. I cooked the vegetables in oil which I rarely do because I steam everything, and I did the same with the chicken. I just sat there for 5 mins looking t my plate. I hadn't even eaten the food but I already felt kind of gross and greasy. When I actually started eating I kept feeling sick and slightly nauseous. It made me feel just disgusting. 3/4 of the way I just started gagging and crying. It was just really weird. I've so rarely eaten meat over the years that I'm freaking out.
Now I really don't know what to do. That meal was so ridiculously stressful and hard for me to finish. I don't know how I'll be able to make this transition to high fat?

Ask yourself if it really is the right choice for you. I've been a vegetarian (not vegan) for 22 years and eating meat would certainly make me sick. If your body can't process the food your putting into it, you might as well just not eat. So perhaps you should reconsider the choice of diets? Especially if it is stressing you out so much, and I would also ask if these are "vanity pounds" or do you really need to loose the weight? Are you in the healthy category on the BMI scale? If so stop hurting yourself over nothing.

Yeah I'm in a healthy BMI range. And I guess they're vanity pounds. I've just never felt comfortable with myself and I though now was the time to change
I've eaten meat occasionally through out the meal and I would feel kind of lethargic after that.

Then relax a little. Things are good, stop hurting yourself.

Tried again for dinner and managed to get it down, but afterwards I considered making myself to get sick.

Having this strict diet before did not help you lose fat. It sounds like you would. Anyway, it seems a lot of your issues is in your head. This anxiety is built up because you're afraid and you have a negative outlook on it. The key with food is to enjoy it. Before you eat the meal, take a minute or two to relax and breathe in and out and clear your mind. Then take a bite of the food but don't focus on the grease; focus on the taste, and then, swallow.

Yeah I tried to stop and breath while I was eating, but I just became more anxious. It's hard and for breakfast I didn't have the time to try to get myself to eat so I just had tea. And for lunch in just had salad. But dinner was hard

Look into Paleo diet. It's more of a lifestyle change.

First off you shouldn't be on diet!!!

[Asker]

Why not?

[apple24]

You should look for a lifesyle change and it okay to eat junk but at a moderation.

[Asker]

You know that any form of eating is a diet. I you eat meat and vegetables, you eat an omnivore diet. And many people do the omnivore diet their whole entire life.
Any diet can be a lifestyle change depending on whether your doing it long term or short term

Diets are unhealthy live a lifestyle is different. Diet are suppose to be temporay while a lifestyle is forever.

[Asker]

Toto diets are temporary diets.
Going on a vegetarian diet or vegan diet can be done your entire life

[apple24]

that is true but your not healthy if your afraid of fat because you need fat in your body

[Asker]

I can eat fats like an avocado. But when it comes from things like meat and I can feel a greasy or juiciness to it I get extremely anxious

Ketogenic diets aren't healthy.
