i put out videos that help you to focus on what nutrients dense foods make the most sense for
a human to be eating to grow their body repair their body build the body that you're going to
be living in for the next 20 30 40 years that's gonna refresh in seven years right we're always
keeping that in mind hello everyone welcome to mind-blowing health and wellness with violet
the reason i make these videos is help people to understand that your physical health and mental
health come together to create the overall sense of well-being if you find these kind of videos
helpful please consider subscribing people have been asking me what i eat a day so in order to
answer this question i need to talk about what i eat at home what i eat at a friend's house and
what i eat in a restaurant it doesn't matter where i am doesn't matter what's happening
i always eat low carb so with that being said what do i eat typically i eat some kind of meat
some kind of vegetable and some kind of salad salad choices actually that's easier
for me because i tend to like a Caesar salad if there's a Caesar salad i'm a happy person but
i'll eat a different kind of salad if that's what's available so putting that as one thing
meat i eat white meats so any white meat including fish i will eat so pork uh chicken
and fish i don't like turkey i generally try to stay away from turkey but if it's
my duck as well i'm not a big fan of duck but if they're my only options and i'm actually hungry
i will eat those things and i add that because we're gonna get them ready to get back to that
idea and then the vegetable has to be above the ground um i'm not interested in eating
any root vegetables i'm not interested in eating any high carb vegetables so
now i've just told you what i eat in a day i'm sorry i forgot to mention generally speaking i eat
one meal a day so we are talking about the supper meal so i'm gonna now i'm gonna make some pivots
here because it depends on my mood i and i forgot that i can have avocado in there depending on how
i feel and a lot of the time i actually do have the avocado it sounds repetitive it sounds boring
this is why i don't talk about what i eat in a day right because there's nothing so crazy
about it it's not it's not difficult i'm a very simple person i don't like to cook i've said that
a bunch of times on these videos i don't like to cook it's not a favorite thing of mine so if
i can have meals be simple and easy that's what i want now what about when i go to a friend's house
my friends don't necessarily cook the way that i cook there's going to be rice there's going to be
some kind of pasta there's going to be root vegetables there's all this so if i go to a
friend's house i'll ask what do you what are you making and if i hear foods that i'm able to eat
so like i know what i'm able to eat then i've no problem if they're going to make something
that i'm not super comfortable to eat i'll bring my own food again this is my friend
they don't care they want me there they don't care what i'm eating they want my presents so i will
bring my own food and trust me my friends already know that i will not eat anything that's going
to harm me and this goes back to years before because i've always had a sensitivity to red meats
so if my friend was inviting me over and cooking anything that was read i would bring my own food
so my friends are used to this from me if your friends are not used to that from you
they'll get used to it from you because it's not the food it's you that they're interested in if i
go to a restaurant i always check the menu of the restaurant before i go to the restaurant just to
see do they even have anything that i'm going to be interested in eating again i've been doing this
since before being keto because i tend to like to know in advance that the foods i'm going to
that i'm going to be able to eat something at a restaurant especially since i don't do red meats
so you're not going to see me at a steak house unless they also cook pork really well i'll go
on the menu and i will look to see what kind of meats they have and then what kind of salads they
have because it's usually safe to do a meat and salad but i might decide to do vegetables if i see
so when i get into the actual restaurant i'll ask them what kind of vegetables they have today and
if they name things that i'm pretty comfortable eating then i'll do that i will eat the
vegetables that they have that are fresh that fall in line with what i'm able to eat now i
haven't talked about specialty foods or like you know for example having um breakfast for dinner
which i do do sometimes or having pizza which i do do sometimes with a meat crust rather than having
a crust that's some kind of bread so there are certain things that i've kind of learned to make
again there's so many keto friendly recipes out on the web that you can find that will
either fall in line with the way that you want to eat or not i'm not enjoying the keto
pizza crusts that are bread type replacements i do find that first of all they're high in carb
most of the time and second of all i do find that it's much easier for me to have a completely meat
based pizza and just have a smaller portion and know that i'm going to be satiated and i've had
that pizza ish itch scratched that i wanted to have scratch and it tastes delicious than to to
have a car be something and then have to deal with the repercussions of having had too many carbs
but that's me you're asking what i eat in a day this is the way that i do it that means on the
days that i'm having pizza i'm having no carb or almost no carbs of course there's carbs in the
cheese but i'm having almost no carbs i do do days where i have almost no carbs i do days where
i have no carbs because i also fast again what do i eat in a day sometimes i eat nothing when we're
looking at what violet eats in a day it's kind of wide so now i have some things i want to say
about this because i did make myself a little less because i want to talk about some things
on special occasions i might decide to have a fun food which i will make and if there's carbs in it
and if there's more carbs that i'm comfortable eating i might on that day just decide to have a
carnivore day again i'm just going to eat a bunch of meat to make sure that i have enough energy and
protein to fuel my body and build my body and then allow whatever the fun food is that i've made to
be my carbs for the day i religiously try to be certain that i stay at 20 grams of carbs or less
why because i actually feel that being healthy is more important than eating a fun food
it doesn't mean that i won't try to eat a fun food once in a while or do eat a fun food once
in a while but at the same time i've noticed this is my personal again you've asked what
do i eat in a day as time has moved forward i'm less and less interested in the fun foods
um i notice them when it's like so Halloween is coming i noticed it but again i walk through the
grocery stores all the time i see the chocolates and the cookies and the cakes and the all the
time i'm not interested my daughter still eats those things i'm not interested so will there be
candy in my house around Halloween yes or will will i eat any of it no i won't
and i'm that confident i can actually sit here and say no i won't because i won't
now does it mean that that strictness that i'm living you have to live everybody's different
you asked me multiple of you have asked me what do i eat in a day this is violent
i will not do anything to hurt myself on purpose i figured out that carbohydrates hurt me therefore
i've stopped eating them and that's what it will be going forward i will not do anything
to hurt myself on purpose you need to make your own decisions you need to figure out yourself
what you're going to do but for me this is a decision that's already made so let's start
with why you shouldn't care what i eat every day i don't care about food i've never cared about food
i liked to snack i liked chocolate and well i liked and now i know i was addicted to chocolate
and i was addicted to snacky foods so poutine and and like French fries and stuff like that
i was addicted to those things i didn't realize so those things called my attention but eating
food for the sake of eating food i've never enjoyed it i've never been happy about supper time
it's just not been my thing it could be coming from the household that i grew up in where where
meals like food was like such a big occasion of stress for me because i had to eat so much and i
always felt like especially as a small child like i couldn't manage what was being put on my plate
that might explain why i never really loved meal time but so meals so if you're trying
to copy what violet eats a day you're going to be bored because my food is to fuel me
i make those selections based on that i do like Caesar salad i'm not going to say i don't
but the selection is based on what's going to fuel me what's going to help me to go forward
in my day it's not based just be clear it's not because it tastes so amazing
it just happens that a Caesar salad is a salad that i can i like and that i can eat
um there's certain vegetables that i like and that i can eat there's some meats and spices that i put
on my meats that i like and that i can eat i can spice my meat the same way every single day and
not care so again i don't care about it another reason you shouldn't care of what i eat is what if
i make a mistake right so it's interesting if i'm doing something that for your body wouldn't work
then would you really want to be copying me what i'm doing works for my body
but it would be a mistake for your body so i don't encourage people to try to copy other people's
meals and meal plans because for example i don't eat any nightshades because they don't work well
for me but what if you're able to eat nitrates but there's some other vegetables that you can't eat
if you and that i'm eating if you copy me right i avoid iron because of my condition of thalassemia
so you'll be eating a very low iron diet if you follow me but what if actually you don't have any
metabolic reason not to be eating the right amount of iron again you'd be harming yourself don't copy
me because we don't know that what i do for my health is what's going to be good for your health
another good reason not to follow me is what if you don't like what i like like i said i can eat
the same spice on my meat every single night i don't care but what if you don't like that what
if you need the variety what about our level of activity we know that 80 of our weight is our diet
but once we've dialed that in then 20 is coming from activity level well what if your activity
level and my activity level are dramatically different i mean we all know that i snowboard ski
longboard rollerblade uh bike ride like every i'm not still if i can help it i stand at my desk like
i'm not still if i can help it what if your level of energy is not the same as mine you might be
trying to copy my portion sizes but again what if you don't need that much energy because your
body isn't trying to accomplish what i'm trying to again right and it's not about calories it's
about energy how much energy do i need to get to do all the stuff that i do versus how much energy
do you need to accomplish what you're doing now what are the reasons that you should care what i
eat i tend to avoid the foods that most humans shouldn't be eating so if you're looking at my
plate you're going to notice that you don't see a potato or carrots or peas or corn or rice or any
of those foods that humans shouldn't be eating i'm not eating so if you pay attention to me you might
start to gather that there's certain things that maybe you're still putting on your plate that you
should be putting but again you know everybody's different the intolerances that i live might make
you wonder about maybe some of the aches and pains you still have could they be intolerances
that you're living again that might possibly help you to do a little better in your health
and the final thing i'll say is recipes so like where did i find the recipe for the pizza with the
the crust of chicken where did i find recipes that i'm eating now that are healthy and for example
how did i know to pressure cook my vegetables so that i am able to eat them without getting
so many bad reactions because that was one of the things that i figured out is i can
eat vegetables if i pressure cook them how did i learn all these things well you see i
couldn't have learned those things if i didn't allow myself to watch videos from other people
talking about their food situations and their intolerances etc so actually sometimes it is
good to pay attention to other people's foods and what they're eating what they're not eating so
there's reasons to pay attention to what other people are eating and there's reasons not to
most of us wouldn't even be living a ketogenic lifestyle if we weren't paying attention to what
other people are eating and ask questions like why are you eating that and not eating this etc
what i'm suggesting though is do i do you need to know what i eat specifically in a day to be able
to gauge if you're doing okay no all you really need to do is eat 20 grams of carbs or less weigh
that food and you will know if you're eating 20 grams of carbs or less per day and everything else
that you're putting on your plate that's not carbs if it tastes delicious to you and you stop eating
when you're satiated chances are very good you're eating the way that you should be eating i really
hope that this explained to my wellness workers who've been asking me to talk about what i eat
in a day why i don't put out specific videos about today i'm eating the system because i don't think
it's going to help you to figure out what's going to make you feel comfortable what's going to help
you to be healthy in your journey because you need to eat things that you're actually going to eat
all right going back to what i like versus what you don't like you might not want to
eat the same spice on the same meat every day i don't care so know yourself if you're the kind of
person that can eat that repetitive meal every time and be fine with that that's okay too but
you know getting all the nutrients that you need is important right so
that's the other piece of this puzzle remember i have dietary restrictions that you may not have so
this is why i don't put out what i eat in the day videos i put out videos to help you make
good decisions about what you're going to eat in a day i put out videos that help you to focus on
what nutrients dense foods make the most sense for a human to be eating to grow their body repair
their body body that you're going to be living in for the next 20 30 40 years that's going to
refresh in seven years right we're always keeping that in mind my body refreshes every seven years
so am i building the best body so that in the next seven years i've i've improved and then
the next seven years i can improve again in the night right because it's important to improve
right our bodies are naturally getting older so the better we feed it and fuel it and grow it
the better chance that we're going to still be strong when we're 90 years old
i hope that makes sense to everybody so i want my wellness warriors to focus on eating healthy food
