Should You Quit Coffee on a Carnivore Diet? 4 Pros Weigh In

[@Lucida1818]

Dr Ken Berry said coffee is good to go so I’m listening to Dr Berry like I usually do 😅

[@austntexan]

I don't think it's "bad" but I've been tracking my blood glucose and ketones, while on a fast, and it does seem like there's an effect. It's taken me nearly 2 full days of water fasting to get past 1.5 Ketones. I've measure my glucose this am after waking(no decaf) and got an 88. Just measure 12:30pm and I'm reading 107 glucose. All I've had was decaf black today, no artificial sweetners or electrolytes. I think it's different for everybody tbh, but I've seen studies that indicate a raise in glucose when drinking decaf specifically.

[@kingelvis5502]

Ken Berry is the most level headed voice in the carnivore community.

[@verenawebster]

[@saint-justesama1006]

finally quitting coffee on my transition to carnivore has given me my life back. i think back to times when my life was going better and it was times i had quit coffee. it was never sustainable i always ended up going back because i didn't have the nutrients i was missing to keep me going. now that I'm mostly carnivore going without coffee means i am less impulsive, stressed, anxious and more emotionally stable. i don't like carbs to begin with but days id drink coffee id find myself at the end of the day carb binging and ruining my diet and setting my health back once again. now that I'm caffeine free i genuinely don't care about any foods but meat (^: and i feel in control and stable again. I wasn't even drinking that much caffeine to begin with id never go over 400mg a day and always keep it around 100-200mg. caffeine isn't a necessary nutrients. if you "cant live without coffee" that may be a sign to stop, because at that point its a drug addiction. caffeine is made by plants to kill in order to protect itself. just because we can tolerate it doesn't mean its not a poison.

[@getsum697]

Same here, but I enjoy the taste...I drink decaf now with a tablespoon of heavy cream (no carbs, animal product). It is NOT affecting my diet and is a way to have something other than water with taste.

[@never2hard2startfresh]

The jury is out on the "good or bad" coffee verdict. Cancer patients on a holistic path take up to 4 coffee enemas a day, the liquid is so beneficial to the liver (when taken in that form) it can even neutralize the die-off of cancer cells. It is a counter measure to prevent Alzheimer's disease, and it is even beneficial to the heart and nervous system when used regularly, because it moderates blood pressure and it boosts mood. For me, the coffee I drink enables me to enjoyably ingest collagen and MCT 8, along with inositol and glycine which I mix in to my sweetener. Statistically coffee provides 60% of the anti-oxidants from all US and Western European beverages consumed, and when taken in the amounts of 6 or more cups a day, it contributes to an increase (in women queried) of over 16 years of total lfe-span. I am probably deeply addicted but I don't plan to give it up any time soon.

[@Janice060813]

Sounds ironic to say,"if you''re addicted to coffee,that's a sign you should quit it"...isn't it a component of addiction that the addict can't quit?

Been intermittent fasting to keto and mostly carnivore for months now. Notable breaks are when I decide to drink a nice stout or ipa or…… any beer style. I like beer, I adore coffee. So much so that I roast my own beans and drink 4 to 5 cups a day; not counting espresso shots. The home roasting I imagine eliminates many problems that were mentioned.

Pray for me, this anonymous person sharing this story, speak with the universe and give me the strength to do it.

I can’t sleep without a cup of fresh coffee (often I drop off before I finish the cup). I know other people who get the same effect.

Coffee is the LEAST of ones problems when they are overweight and sick with different diseases and/or ailments. Listening to you read from his book was painful. All the fancy medical jargon with not much interpretation. Now Dr. Shawn Baker is top notch and approaches the caffeine topic reasonably. Get with the carnivore program then decide later down the road if coffee is still worth it or a negative with your eating style and over all well being.

I have one caffeinated coffee a day and then 1-2 (ok 2 of late) decaffeinated. Before starting this way of eating, I gave up all caffeine after a kidney stone (I lived on coke no sugar and coffee and junk). I didn’t really notice any difference. Now I drink water with electrolytes, water with a lil sugar free cordial (once a day) and my long blacks with either a lil cream or lil cream/butter (5g each) with a lil collagen powder in the first cup of the morning. I’m happy with my coffee, not giving it up but might lower my other dairy intakes like cheese and sour cream.

If you can imagine you've given up everything to be carnivore - no more natural or processed sugars/food/carbs, the lot. One pleasure in life is your morning or whenever coffee. A lot of folks say you don't 'need' coffee. Like you don't 'need' an occasional summer ice cream or glass of beer now and again. You don't 'need' to go away on holiday, but you do coz it brings pleasure. I would contend that if you have no medical conditions that are affected by drinking one or two cups of coffee a day - and, you don't notice any difficulties on carnivore drinking it - then be happy. Drink your (sugarless) coffee. You're not here for, so don't forget to stop and smell the roses on a regular basis.

Drinking coffee is statistically correlated with longevity. Have it with ghee and stevia and it won't even affect your blood sugar. And if you're OMAD you can certainly put a dash of heavy cream in your coffee at meal time.

[@gregmoldovan5921]

But stevia without carbs is a little dangerous though isn't it? Fake sugars give you an insulin spike without the glucose spike. Not so bad if you're eating carbs or if you're type 1 diabetic (and cannot produce insulin) but for low carb people, I don't think having high insulin that won't go down is good.
