I find that since last year when I went through a phase of keto, cutting out sugar, and intermittent fasting, my metabolism was reset very well. Subsequently, I no longer intermittently fast so much anymore. I eat breakfast, and my main meal is lunch. I occasionally snack something light in the evening. My body seems very well adapted now, I'm so grateful. I can moderately eat good carbs now without gaining weight. I am convinced the single thing that made all the difference was cutting out all sugar.
Never apologize for changes in your diet. You have the right (as do all of us) to try whatever you want. Isn’t that what life is all about? Change is natural. You’ll find that different diets work best at different seasons of life, too. Life is about evolving-not locking ourselves in a mold…including social media ones
Kait I want you to know I loved your vlogs! You were a big motivation for me 3 years ago to become a health coach and in the process I reversed my PCOS symptoms, got my cycle back and put Type 2 diabetes into remission via low carb, keto and carnivore lifestyle. Thanks for all you do! bring back the vlogs! haha only if you enjoy them. Low carb high fat high protein is the best!
When I started weight lifting while on keto, I felt so tired. I similarly made the decision to be low carb listening to your videos. I had to add complex carbs to my diet such as Ezekiel bread, sweet potato, or apples. I aim for 80 to 100 grams of net carbs a day. This helps me have energy throughout the day and not have to nap after my workout.
Myself being 73 years long in the tooth. I realized, with your help, beer was not my friend although one was in my hand almost every waking minute. Long story short; I cold turkey quit August 17th at 255lbs as of this date I'm 230lbs , I think it all boils down to how serious you want to get, I'll have one beer when I reach my goal of 180lbs. Thanks for all your guidance!🥰
Hi Kait from the USA. Your oatmeal example was spot on. When I joined your channel, I was an oatmeal for breakfast guy until I learned from you that it wasn’t the superfood I thought. So your point is spot on, you need to educate new subscribers on a regular basis. Long term subscribers need to understand that not everyone is at their level.
Ya finding the balance between creating for newbies vs those who have been in the weeds of it for a while is difficult. I’ll occasionally get comments suggesting cover very niche topics. Things that will make marginal improvements. And well I do think those can be helpful for those who are at that point in their journey… it’s such a small % of people. There are SO many more individuals who are having trouble mastering the basics, and those are the people I want to simplify things for. I do try to branch out still 😅 Thanks for your comment!
Hi Kait! I rarely comment, but I've been following for years 🙂 It's nice to see when people are in tune with themselves and realize that no matter what, the focus is on their health and WELL BEING, rather than if they stay inside some specific group (which is always changing, by the way anyway) I know I can come to your channel and get honest info and always appreciate all that you share about your journey. Also- CONGRATS on making the national team!!! I know you're modest but come on- this is a BIG deal!!! 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏
Hey Kait! You're help and coaching has been HUGELY beneficial to me in my health journey! I have to be honest and tell you that I have been a bit on the "trial and error" side of things without being OVERLY strict with my diet. I am 60 and have a sedentary lifestyle due to physical injury and I have experienced a lifetime of emotional trauma, so my weight skyrocketed. Since stopping everything traumatic and giving myself permission to heal and also paying attention to my body's signals, I have lost 33 lbs in 3 mths. It's slow, but sure and I am mainly focused on low carb-high protein, but I am not "stressing" over ANY decision (which is difficult at this age!). I think balance and moderation in ALL things is the best approach because I can maintain it without feeling deprived and guilty! Good for you!!!
33lb over 3 months is awesome!! Slower results mean you will be more likely to keep the weight off. It sounds like you have found a groove that is easy for you to stick to! Keep it up! 🥰
Being so strict takes a toll mentally and very isolating! I’ve gained weight back & I still struggle with some stuff but sometimes being so strict just to have perfect health metrics & be aesthetically pleasing just becomes too overwhelming. Glad to hear you listen to your body. Edit: I made my comment about half way through watching/listening. Honestly I resonate with you so much & like I mentioned before, trying to be “perfect” is very isolating! Very! And can be pretentious if you do try to only surround yourself with “health” friends. There does have to be somewhat of a balance. I think we are all trying to figure it out! It’s not black and white! Life is shades of gray!
The mental toll is huge! And when you get caught up in the online bubble it can make you feel really bad about yourself… agree about surrounding yourself with “health” friends. It’s great to be connected with like minded people of course! But you shouldn’t cut out or look down on everyone else. We’re all just trying to do our best. Thanks for your comment! ❤️
Kait, I’m not sure of the full tone here but the fact is everyone has to find what works for them. Change is inevitable and it includes what you eat! What I used to eat as a young g adult is in no way what I “can” eat now. I would be grossly overweight. If you don’t eat according to what your body needs you won’t feel well or be able to perform at any athletic level! You present the information very well and it’s up to the listener to determine what will work for their lifestyle. Congratulations on making the ice hockey team and thank you for all the information you provide!
Thank you for sharing, Coach Kait! It's truely a pleasure to learn more about you and your dietary needs, activities and thoughts. Please don't hesitate to ramble; you will always have my ear. And always remember, you are highly esteemed.
Your lifestyle changed, which makes sense that your diet changed. Everyone needs to reevaluate their current lifestyle to meet their needs. And, It's good that you saw other perspectives due to your present circumstances. The school of life will definitely enlighten you on other people struggles and make you more compassionate. Congratulations on your new endeavors, and thanks for being so open! 💛
Agreed Kait, everyone doesn’t know what is healthy & what is not. I work with a diabetic gentleman who had a stroke and has issues with diabetes. His caregiver, which is his wife and I constantly have the conversation about why oatmeal and cereal cannot help him to improve his diabetic symptoms. She honestly does not know what his options are because she has been told so many different things. Thank you so much for your content. Please keep sharing.
Thank you!!! I haven’t shared much about it here, but we competed at Worlds in Turkey earlier this year. The experience was unreal and not something I ever thought I would be able to do at this point in my life!
Really enjoy these episodes that tell stories. The shorter educational videos are great but sometimes hearing another person’s journey, warts and all is the more beneficial. In the health space too many folks think their way is the best but they miss the point. The best way is what’s best for you as an individual which is what I’m getting from this video. You’re finding your way like most of us are.
As always, love you and your videos, so genuine and personal and down to earth. You are such am amazing to my living room. it seems so lost without you.
I have followed you for years. I have learned a lot from you. Remember you are only human and thanks for sharing. Due to my disease I cannot drink alcohol. Explains why I never really could drink much. The variety of alcohol free beverages out there now is great. I still get the taste which I like. You just have to watch the sugar content. I find the challenge is when I am travelling, or leave my routine while I am home. When I get sick everything goes out the window. So I start time and time again. Such is life. You are great! 😊
t sounds like you’ve found a great way to enjoy alcohol-free options! I totally agree, the sugar content can sneak up, but it’s awesome that there are so many choices now. Thanks for sharing your experience-it's inspiring how you're managing your health while still enjoying what you like!
I did carnivore over a year and have started doing a more Saladino like approach over the past few months. I appreciate the transparency in this video- I se so many people who are struggling to do carnivore, which absolutely was worth it for me and can be for them, but goals can change with time. I lost 133 lbs with carnivore and am wanting to put on muscle at the gym now.
Great video Kait It’s understandable that this is how your diet has evolved. It sounds like you’re just as active as Paul Saladino. Congratulations on your ice hockey successes as well making the Australian team. No doubt Bart Kay will give his thoughts on your changes
Your such an inspiration 😊 I was doing carnivore for a couple of weeks just for health… I’m only 115 pounds and want to gain lol… Buttt I started getting pains all over my body aches and twitches and spasms… my blood work was good… so I’m thinking I need to add in healthy carbs… tired of stressing over food… your plan just sounds so much better and much more relieving 😅
Heyy I really enjoyed listening to this. New subbie. I’m currently documenting my glp1 weight loss and my ultimate goal is to perform in my regular life at my best. I think that’s was drawing me in here. Thanks for sharing this.
That’s awesome you’ve committed to bettering yourself! Documenting the journey is a great way to hold yourself accountable. Glad to have you in the community 🥰
love that ypu still play hockey! I'm a Canadian female and started playing ringette when I was 5 and switched to hockey at age 12 but stopped when I finished high-school. Would love to play again.
4 weeks ago I started Keto… the first 3 weeks I felt amazing, but I am really missing fruits! I think I will skip all grains in the future, but I think I can’t live without fruits and potatoes long term
I ha e been here since the beginning, and I ha e not seen you in a while. Way to go on making the team. This is good info for my teen who is into competitive Judo. I eat ketovore for health. He does low carb and eats carb around exercise.
Hi Kati, nice to hear your personal thoughts . You will be just fine with some extra carbs you’re still young and athletic so you need them to have energy to burn. Don’t forget to let me know if you can maybe send a link of your hockey games ? Anyway God Bless! ❤ you are a champion!
I'd like to know what to eat before and after low intensity and high intensity exercise. And what carbs you've been eating around your competitive training. I didn't know eating before and after exercise was all that important. Thanks!
So, from what I understand, would you still recommend the more drastic low carb/ high protein to those that are getting their insulin resistance under control and are trying to lose weight. And your more adjusted higher carb way of eating to those that have no problem with insulin and/or are physically more active?
Great video, and a lot of it resonates with me. I’d just recommend caution with drinking. If you truly feel a need to drink in spite of knowing how it negatively affects you, that doesn’t sound healthy. On the other hand, if you enjoy it, can do so responsibly, and in awareness of the tradeoffs, do what makes you happy.
I've been following you for a few years now and I really enjoyed this video. It was nice listening to your personal side. What brought you to Australia?
So cool that many low carb YTubers I watch somehow turn out to be Canadian. Maybe my ear just innately relates to the accent as it sounds like home. Im a Canuck who has lived in another Commonwealth country, like you, for over 15 yrs (UK). Thank you for your tips. Would love you to do a video on low carb weight loss after 50 for women and when you stall. Ive lost 30lbs but have 45lbs to go😢 other than extending my fasting window (not great for my IBS) I am at a loss as to where to go next.
I appreciate your new approach Kait, being perfect in an imperfect world is difficult, and can also be stressful for the mind. It’s good everyone knows what the best diets and quality foods are, and it’s okay to lean off of it sometimes yourself. I’ve also taken this approach about the past year. I try my best to eat local, grass fed and grass finished, but was recently on a roadtrip, where I couldn’t find all my super healthy snacks and top quality foods, I realized it was okay myself. Now I indulge every now and then, even with seed oils too. I avoid if I can, but I do not stress if not.
thank you for making this video! I struggle with this every day! I am trying to lose weight but at the same time I am VERY active, I run 4 miles a day, walk 3 miles, and weight train 4 days a week. I also think I'm IR. so I've been low carb (75G a day) from Whole Foods for a few months and I've lost about 15lbs but I find I my runs are always a bit labored... can't figure out how to eat? I eat about 1800 calories a day for a deficit but every few days I do a refeed day and I do eat a couple pieces of toast and WOW what a difference my workouts are awesome!! but I feel like I won't lose weight if I eat toast everyday
Focus on fuelling your body and how you feel during your workouts! Focus less on specific numbers, nutrition labels can be off by 25% over or under anyway, so it’s never going to be exact. A piece of toast WILL NOT stop you from reaching your weight loss goals! You’ve got this Anna ❤️
Good stuff. I live in FNQ queensland. lived in the USA and visited Canada. AU is/was more restrictive to what additives/toxins/chemicals allowed in AU produced food. BUT organic whole foods, grass fed meat is awesome in AU. I have a number of health issues and I do need some carbs. I try to be low carb, with a carb loving partner. 😊
I think Carnivore is a great way to reset your gut and cure autoimmune issues. People should add some food back if it works for them. If it doesn't, then don't eat it. Just get rid of as much process and ultra processed food along with any seed oil related food.
Good on you. Reassessing every once in a while is always a healthy process. Thanks for the reminder as I am still trying to figure out how fuel my post menopausal body. I'm inspired to get back to work.😉
Health Coach Kait, after changing your diet, what’s been the most unexpected or surprising shift you’ve noticed in how your body or mind responded? Were there any changes that really stood out beyond just physical health?
I think part of it is once your insulin sensitivity is better then you can tolerate carbs better, but yes, there is a natural progression everyone seems to go through 😂
Haven't finished your video yet... 2/3 way through. Really interested in your next post! Would love to do Targeted Keto with goal of using it to perform well in tennis matches. My matches are usually in the early evening when I play on weekdays. My competing needs are this, for matches, I want to play well and finish well and still perform well at my job which is mentally demanding (keto really helps). Maybe this is not necessarily only a diet question... I want to carb up periodically throughout a match which doesn't have a set time length, I need to carb up if I am close to winning a match or if I am close to losing. i.e. I need to finish strong (win or lose), so my carbs are up. Is the solution to do post match exercise till I bonk? Thank you and congrats to success!
I like you with black hair better. The way you look that is. LOL. Having some carbs before exercise works wonders for me. Carbs give me explosive power for weight lifting that I did not have on under 20 grams of carbs daily. Now I eat 50 to 100 grams per day and I am feeling wonderful.
I am on medical keto combine with intermittent fasting for 16hours carbs is not important for exercise I have enough energy to exercise and very fit without carbs and sugar only on fats and protein I lost 20kg
I'm 49 and a Type 2 diabetic since 2006. I've tried keto, I've tried carnivore, nothing worked for me. So my endocrinologist recommended that I change to a low fat diet to get the fat out of my cells and improve my insulin sensitivity - whole foods, mainly plant based, with small portions of lean proteins like fish and ostrich and some red meat like steak. I still eat carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and whole grain bread/natural sourdough plus lots of fruits, legumes and vegetables. But no junk food and sugar. To date I've lost 55kg and my A1C now is below 5 and I don't take any medicine for diabetes, cholesterol or my blood pressure anymore. All my vitals are normal. Now I also do four HIIT classes a week at my local gym.
That’s awesome you have found something that worked for you! I think cutting out the junk that is processed food makes the biggest difference. By default you will be eating fewer carbs and fewer seed oils. Keep up the great work!
I was in good shape before though 😅 my initial reason for going low carb was to be able to cycle longer distances without relying on carbs. I was out exercising a bad diet though at that point and feeling shit.
I dunno, feeling you have to drink because of social stuff sounds like peer pressure, I'm aussie and I know how australia is so big on alcohol, but no body HAS to do it, not even for socializing. Again, I'm aussie and I never drink even in a social setting. Just opt for ice water or tonic water or ice tea or coffee.
No one is pressuring me. But if we’ve just won a game and go to the pub after I sometimes want to have a drink or two. I’m probably being too hard on myself because I then regret it when I see my WHOOP recovery score the next morning 😂
@@HealthCoachKait yes, i'd like to. I wanna know how the ligue is working and more, but i don't know if other people would like it. I like the food and alimentation advice too, i't really hellping me. Keep going!
Hi! I am not currently taking new 1-1 clients but we can work together through my Insulin Resistance Masterclass? hckait.com/IRmasterclass Let me know if you have any questions about it 🙂 And thank you for your support as a member!
24:00 i feel the same I suffered from several eating disorders (pica, anorexia, orthorexia, binge eating), I hurt my kidneys during carnivore, its a shame for me to admit it. Now I eat what I have at home, unfortunately I have to, I dont want to scare my parents, I see how they get nervous when I dont want to eat, or when I tell them im full, it makes me sad because ive gained too much weight. Now im not afraid of potatoes, and other carbohydrates and fats... But I dont feel or look healthy
7:56 🎉 I agreeeee!! Everyone does not know this. And people who know better should not be saying these types of things to people who are spreading good messages 🙄 urghhhh
The mainstream have turned against 100% low carbs. So also you tubers. Therefore do not believe every hype. Because the you tubers want clicks at all costs.
Thanks for listening to me ramble 😂🥰🥰
I don't think your rambling at all 😊
I'h happy you are well enough to eat more carbs. This is a sign you are far more healthy.
We love good ramble tho🤣
Thanks for rambling. It helps me learn.
You are doing good Kait.

have you tried milk from a bull in your diet?
it's best if you milk it yourself./,.
Me too

Thanks for all you do! bring back the vlogs! haha only if you enjoy them. Low carb high fat high protein is the best!

I've been following you for a few years now and I really enjoyed this video. It was nice listening to your personal side. What brought you to Australia?
Hi Kait. Can you elaborate in the part of eating after exercise to mantain and not having muscle breakdown ? Thanks
Carnivore for 4 years, noticed the same issues as you.
Adding a cup of raw milk and 2 dates in the morning really helped with my performance.
Eating really well is a great priority but you have to live your life too! It’s all about moderation.
So cool that many low carb YTubers I watch somehow turn out to be Canadian. Maybe my ear just innately relates to the accent as it sounds like home. Im a Canuck who has lived in another Commonwealth country, like you, for over 15 yrs (UK). Thank you for your tips. Would love you to do a video on low carb weight loss after 50 for women and when you stall. Ive lost 30lbs but have 45lbs to go😢 other than extending my fasting window (not great for my IBS) I am at a loss as to where to go next.
What about cramping when low carb eating, other than taking electrolytes, is there another way to reduce the cramping?
You are amazing Kait!
I appreciate your new approach Kait, being perfect in an imperfect world is difficult, and can also be stressful for the mind. It’s good everyone knows what the best diets and quality foods are, and it’s okay to lean off of it sometimes yourself. I’ve also taken this approach about the past year.
I try my best to eat local, grass fed and grass finished, but was recently on a roadtrip, where I couldn’t find all my super healthy snacks and top quality foods, I realized it was okay myself.
Now I indulge every now and then, even with seed oils too. I avoid if I can, but I do not stress if not.
Exactly. What matters is what you do the majority of the time, not the minority. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks coach Kait.
❤️❤️
thank you for making this video! I struggle with this every day! I am trying to lose weight but at the same time I am VERY active, I run 4 miles a day, walk 3 miles, and weight train 4 days a week. I also think I'm IR. so I've been low carb (75G a day) from Whole Foods for a few months and I've lost about 15lbs but I find I my runs are always a bit labored... can't figure out how to eat? I eat about 1800 calories a day for a deficit but every few days I do a refeed day and I do eat a couple pieces of toast and WOW what a difference my workouts are awesome!! but I feel like I won't lose weight if I eat toast everyday
Focus on fuelling your body and how you feel during your workouts! Focus less on specific numbers, nutrition labels can be off by 25% over or under anyway, so it’s never going to be exact. A piece of toast WILL NOT stop you from reaching your weight loss goals! You’ve got this Anna ❤️
Good stuff. I live in FNQ queensland. lived in the USA and visited Canada. AU is/was more restrictive to what additives/toxins/chemicals allowed in AU produced food. BUT organic whole foods, grass fed meat is awesome in AU. I have a number of health issues and I do need some carbs. I try to be low carb, with a carb loving partner. 😊
I think Carnivore is a great way to reset your gut and cure autoimmune issues. People should add some food back if it works for them. If it doesn't, then don't eat it. Just get rid of as much process and ultra processed food along with any seed oil related food.
High fat zero carb feels the best for me. Great energy good weight great mood
I feel good eating that way too! Until it comes to high intensity exercise 🥲
This video is so honest. ❤ it
Good on you. Reassessing every once in a while is always a healthy process. Thanks for the reminder as I am still trying to figure out how fuel my post menopausal body. I'm inspired to get back to work.😉
🥰🥰
I power-lift and I feel weak doing keto and my strength gains never increased
Health Coach Kait, after changing your diet, what’s been the most unexpected or surprising shift you’ve noticed in how your body or mind responded? Were there any changes that really stood out beyond just physical health?
Any tips on exercise induced hypoglycaemia and crashing in the hours afterwards
Thoughts on white rice Kait? pre and post training
Seems like a lot of us did a full circle with keto, then carnivore, then back to adding some carbs. Keto/carnivore zealots will be coming after us 😂
I think part of it is once your insulin sensitivity is better then you can tolerate carbs better, but yes, there is a natural progression everyone seems to go through 😂
Love this!
Haven't finished your video yet... 2/3 way through. Really interested in your next post! Would love to do Targeted Keto with goal of using it to perform well in tennis matches. My matches are usually in the early evening when I play on weekdays. My competing needs are this, for matches, I want to play well and finish well and still perform well at my job which is mentally demanding (keto really helps). Maybe this is not necessarily only a diet question... I want to carb up periodically throughout a match which doesn't have a set time length, I need to carb up if I am close to winning a match or if I am close to losing. i.e. I need to finish strong (win or lose), so my carbs are up. Is the solution to do post match exercise till I bonk? Thank you and congrats to success!
I like you with black hair better. The way you look that is. LOL. Having some carbs before exercise works wonders for me. Carbs give me explosive power for weight lifting that I did not have on under 20 grams of carbs daily. Now I eat 50 to 100 grams per day and I am feeling wonderful.
Makes perfect sense 👌👌👌
Dates raise blood sugar? 😢
Are dates low GI? Or do they spike blood sugar?
I will do it medical keto for rest of my life
Do you have any videos about detoxing the liver of the oestrogen? other than exercise
Had 2 questions, though, one what carbs u eat pre post workouts and also what reader you are wearing on your left hand, please. Love ❤️ from Jay.
Dates, bananas, berries, white rice - those sorts of things! Fitness tracker is whoop hckait.com/whoop
Spot on, KAIT!!! 👍😃💖
Thank you ❤️
I am on medical keto combine with intermittent fasting for 16hours carbs is not important for exercise I have enough energy to exercise and very fit without carbs and sugar only on fats and protein I lost 20kg
Your adorable and thanks for all your input
Alcohol is the devil and I love it!!!! 2 beers is starting to get to be too many for me.
I wish there were timestamps so that I could scroll to sections…
Haha well it was a ramble so there wasn’t any structure to it to add timestamps
Was there any after issues from the jaw surgery, I gotta sort my jaw out just so i can keep it closed esp at night. How's Oz going?
No issues! Couldn't be happier with the result. I am going to do a full podcast episode on it.
thanks for vid! what is the name of the watch on your wrist??
Whoop!

I'm 49 and a Type 2 diabetic since 2006. I've tried keto, I've tried carnivore, nothing worked for me. So my endocrinologist recommended that I change to a low fat diet to get the fat out of my cells and improve my insulin sensitivity - whole foods, mainly plant based, with small portions of lean proteins like fish and ostrich and some red meat like steak. I still eat carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and whole grain bread/natural sourdough plus lots of fruits, legumes and vegetables. But no junk food and sugar. To date I've lost 55kg and my A1C now is below 5 and I don't take any medicine for diabetes, cholesterol or my blood pressure anymore. All my vitals are normal. Now I also do four HIIT classes a week at my local gym.
That’s awesome you have found something that worked for you! I think cutting out the junk that is processed food makes the biggest difference. By default you will be eating fewer carbs and fewer seed oils. Keep up the great work!
If you exercise more you need more carbs to fuel your lifestyle. What you've changed seems natural to me.
You should’ve stated you weren’t in good shape before low carb/carnivore. And that got to where you are today 😊
I was in good shape before though 😅 my initial reason for going low carb was to be able to cycle longer distances without relying on carbs. I was out exercising a bad diet though at that point and feeling shit.
@ yeah, I rember your old videos 😁
You seem to be wise beyond your years! Don’t see that much these days
I dunno, feeling you have to drink because of social stuff sounds like peer pressure, I'm aussie and I know how australia is so big on alcohol, but no body HAS to do it, not even for socializing. Again, I'm aussie and I never drink even in a social setting.
Just opt for ice water or tonic water or ice tea or coffee.
No one is pressuring me. But if we’ve just won a game and go to the pub after I sometimes want to have a drink or two. I’m probably being too hard on myself because I then regret it when I see my WHOOP recovery score the next morning 😂
I went years turning down situations like this or opting not to even have one drink and my life was no better (arguably worse) because of it.
Hate to be that guy but you’re VERY pretty 😊 I enjoy the diet advice
Is there a hockey part? 😅
Do you want to hear more about it? I’ve been wanting to incorporate it more into my content but not sure if people would be interested.
@@HealthCoachKait yes, i'd like to. I wanna know how the ligue is working and more, but i don't know if other people would like it. I like the food and alimentation advice too, i't really hellping me. Keep going!
Can do! I talk a bit more about hockey in episode 1 of my podcast too 😁
@@HealthCoachKait are you playing in the australian women ice hockey ligue?
I mean hockey league, my french got the better on me!
Now i'm back to follow you again😊
I am a member. Do you provide one on one coaching. I live in the states. I am interested. Let me know.
Hi! I am not currently taking new 1-1 clients but we can work together through my Insulin Resistance Masterclass? hckait.com/IRmasterclass Let me know if you have any questions about it 🙂
And thank you for your support as a member!
24:00 i feel the same
I suffered from several eating disorders (pica, anorexia, orthorexia, binge eating), I hurt my kidneys during carnivore, its a shame for me to admit it. Now I eat what I have at home, unfortunately I have to, I dont want to scare my parents, I see how they get nervous when I dont want to eat, or when I tell them im full, it makes me sad because ive gained too much weight. Now im not afraid of potatoes, and other carbohydrates and fats... But I dont feel or look healthy
Mental health is important too
if I add lentils to my potatoes in one meal. Do I have to eat them before, or with the potatoes, Cheers
Hey 👋🏼 Kate.
Are you Australian break dancing 🤣 good at Hockey?
Or Canadian Good at Hockey? 🤔
Haha I CANNOT dance unfortunately 😂
@@HealthCoachKait 😅
❤
🥰🥰
👏👏 finally girl.
Oh no not Salidino. He and delauer went from helping to sabotaging. Still love your content
It’s just where I’ve landed trying to stick to all whole foods with more carbs but still focusing on protein ❤️
@@HealthCoachKait are you in maintenance mode right now. Cause would that style work for someone trying to lose weight
Maintaining my weight + gaining muscle are my goals. I do think less carbs is better if weight loss is your goal.
The oatmeal pedestal drives me bonkers lol … god forbid you put it where it belongs! People freak!
7:56 🎉 I agreeeee!! Everyone does not know this. And people who know better should not be saying these types of things to people who are spreading good messages 🙄 urghhhh
Interesting
25:40 Me too.
The mainstream have turned against 100% low carbs. So also you tubers. Therefore do not believe every hype. Because the you tubers want clicks at all costs.
