I was under the impression that there is only one

this is the paleo way described by Ray in his book. This way is designed for
peoples who recognised that there is something wrong in the modern
neolithic  diet , who are ready to change without having to question too
much. It is designed so you just have to get your food from a different
aisle in your supermarket. But in my opinion it will be  optimistic to think
that this diet is enough to be close to what the paleolithic peoples had to
eat. ( i don't want to minimise the effects of this change,  it is big
allready.)
I talked about Pork before , and i don't see how the north american way of
producing  pork can be close to the wild pigs available in paleo time. my
friend in France used to raised  a cross between pigs and wild boar with
freshly cut greens every day and other fresh food. allready the meat was
very different than the meat of an industrial pig but still far from being
close to a wild boar meat.
see the eggs thread you might get a better idea of where i am at.

>The carbohydrate I crave are:  pizza, cookies, pasta, pie, donuts and

all wheat ,   that was for me the hardest to let go  of , it took me 6
months of dedication to not succomb to the tentation.

>occasional decaf coffee;

another with no regret , and coffee was served to me in my childhood as
breakfast
