My solution to this, which I hinted at in my last post just, is to  
deliberately over-eat on animal fat.  My metabolism is in a state  
where if I feel run down it craves carbs first, then fat, but actually  
fat is more satisfying.  Over the years I've got less and less  
dependent on carbs (and I eat VERY few most days).

You could always try preparing a big meal of say 1kg mince beef fried  
with a lot of fat and some low carb veg (mushrooms and aubergines are  
good as they soak up the fat).  Eat as much as you can, and keep some  
for carb cravings.

Can't say if it will work for you, but the worst it will do it make  
you feel very full :)
