good morning guys welcome or welcome back to my channel if
you're new here my name is kate i'm a health coach
today we are doing a what i eat in a day video
if you've never watched any of my videos before i eat
a meat based keto diet also known as an animal based diet
or as a ketovore diet honestly labels don't matter my diet is probably
90 to 95 animal products 90 to 95
carnivore but not 100 i do include some keto friendly plants that i
tolerate and that i enjoy i gave this whole spiel
in my last what i eat in a day video but i
think the carnivore diet is great absolutely i think if it works for you
it can be a long-term strategy but it is also good for the short term and to be
used as an elimination diet or just a reset
i don't think everyone needs to eat the carnivore diet
for the rest of their life i ate a strict carnivore
diet for about six weeks back in 2018 i learned so much from it i felt
fantastic eating that way i won't ramble too much
about my story in this video i do have a whole other video that is on
my health and fitness journey so if you are interested in hearing more about my
story and where i'm coming from you can check
out that video anyways i think the carnivore diet is
great but yeah i don't think everyone needs to do it for the rest of their
life that isn't the only way to be healthy if
you tolerate some plants and you enjoy plants
then you can include them but i do think everyone's diet should be
meat-based and the focus of your meals should be meat and animal products
anyways i was not planning on filming today
today is actually my day off of work even though i'm self-employed i try to
give myself weekends and as much as i can
not do any work and i find that works really well for me
but i was sitting here i just made my coffee
which we're gonna talk about in one second and
yeah i wanted to talk to you about coffee that's the first thing
so i thought i might as well film my day film what i'm eating
and also i have a really yummy dinner planned i'm going to do
copy cat big mac burgers bun less of course
but yeah really excited for that so i figured okay well
i'll just vlog today so back to coffee coffee is one of those
things it's a very polarizing topic
some people love it they swear by it other people
think it is one of the worst things you can consume they don't want to be
addicted to it fair enough and i've been somewhere in
the middle there are definitely pros to coffee and
there's definitely cons i've only been drinking coffee for
a couple of years i never drank it in my teens or even in
my early 20s and i was always just kind of like uh i
just like don't want to have to rely on this drink for energy
and i didn't really like the taste anyways long story short i started
drinking it and yeah i've been telling myself the
last few years that i'm not addicted to it
that i don't absolutely need coffee which
i still believe is true to an extent i wake up in the mornings totally
energized i do not need a coffee to get my day going i just i really enjoy
it and i thought that was the only reason
i was drinking it that's what i was telling myself at least
but now i've gone i want to say over a week without coffee and
i've been drinking decaf so i still have a coffee but
it's decaf yeah i don't i don't think i'm going back i think i am
now a team decaf anyways i'll talk about that a little bit later in the video
but yep this is my right oh my god i'm gonna like
spill it all over myself
this is my regular bulletproof coffee that
i show you guys all the time i put some butter in here some grass-fed
butter some grass-fed collagen and what else oh mct oil i stopped using
mct oil for a while but now i'm back on the
mct oil train and sometimes i put an egg yolk in as well which just makes it
extra frothy i blend it all up and yeah enjoying this but decaf this time which
you guys have never seen on my channel
okay so i wanted to talk a little bit about my experience
quitting coffee first off i didn't even intend to quit coffee what happened
is i guess like a week and a half ago um we ran out of coffee beans and i was
like oh okay i just won't have a coffee today
the whole day i'm just sitting there trying to focus
trying to get my work done and i couldn't
my mind was all over the place i was yawning all day long
and i didn't know what was wrong with me i was like what like
why can i not get anything done today anyways i just wrote that first day off
didn't even connect it to the coffee and the caffeine
then the next day i woke up did a workout
tried to get to work and the same thing i just
could not focus for the life of me and i think it was that second day that i
realized oh my god i haven't had a coffee
today or yesterday and i've been feeling really tired i haven't been able to
focus and yeah i made that connection and then
i decided okay well this is a bad sign i don't want to be
dependent on caffeine and on top of that i'm
already two days into giving it up so
might as well just continue from there the third day
wasn't as bad but i still just felt a little bit off
and since then i've just felt totally fine
so for me it was as easy as not drinking coffee
for three days and now yeah i haven't had it
in over a week and i'm still feeling really good
so yeah i have switched to decaf because i really love my bulletproof coffee and
yeah i can give up caffeine but didn't want
to give up my morning drink so anyways that is
where we're at yeah this was just a really big eye
opener for me because i get comments here and there people
being like oh you only have energy because you
drink coffee or whatnot and well clearly that's not true
cause now i've went a week without it yeah
i'm feeling really good about this because now i don't have this like
one weird vice i guess and honestly the decaf i have tastes just as
good
so
all right so it's a few days later now and
i always seem to do this i always forget to make an outro for my what i
eat in a day videos pretty much it just gets to the end of
the day and i have dinner and yeah after dinner is just my
time to chill so the point that i'm getting at is this is my intro
and my intro oh my god this
is my outro and i just wanted to say thank you for watching i hope
you guys enjoyed this video i don't know i
find these types of videos interesting i like
watching what other people do in a day what other people eat in a day
