Here’s everything I ate today following an ancestral diet to support stable blood sugar, balanced hormones, and steady energy—all while working from home.
Lately, I’ve been tuning into my body and noticed I feel better with more carbs in my meals, especially around workouts and busy days. So yes, there are carbs with every meal—but always paired with protein and fat to keep things balanced.
➡️ Breakfast: Ground meat with sweet potato—simple, satisfying, and packed with nutrients. ➡️ Workout + Walk ➡️ Lunch: 2-ingredient banana pancakes (so quick) and a homemade matcha latte for that gentle boost. ➡️ Snack: High-protein yogurt bowl with toppings (I don’t snack every day, but today I needed it). ➡️ Dinner: Big batch of hearty ancestral-style stew—perfect for meal prepping office lunches.
I’m all about real food, blood sugar balance, and eating in a way that works for your body—not against it.

Here's everything I ate today following an ancestral diet to keep my blood sugar stable and energy steady.
These are some of the meals I've been obsessed with lately when I've had the time to make them.
Plus, I've been tuning into my body and I noticed I need more carbs lately.
So yes, there are carbs with every single meal.
Every single morning I start with an apple cider vinegar glass.
So I add apple cider vinegar with some lukewarm lemon water.
And this one by Cirrus Organics comes with the mother, so it's incredible.
And this helps with your blood sugar spike so you don't have that big crash in the afternoon.
Please don't mind the rain in the back.
It's boring with the rain outside my window.
For breakfast, I'm making this ground beef bowl.
First, we're going to cut up an onion.
Recently, I've been working a lot more from home, hence why I have more time.
So this is a recipe I make on those days when I have more time.
But you can also meal prep this.
Just cut those onions up earlier and cook it with the ground beef.
Now we're going to make a little sauce.
We're going to use Greek yogurt, minced garlic, some dried onions or fresh onions.
I just can't handle fresh onions.
So I use some dried ones and some sea salt.
This sauce is so good.
Now we're going to cook our beef.
I'm using 80-20 ground beef.
We're going to cook that in a stainless steel pan.
Always use stainless steel.
With our onions, I've got a lot of spices.
So cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano, black pepper, salt, and more garlic.
A lot of spices, but they just give this really good Greek Middle Eastern flavor.
I'm not really sure what flavor it is, but that's sort of what I would guess.
And I've got some prepped roasted sweet potatoes.
I'm going to add our beef and our yogurt on the side.
I'm also going to add some avocado for a little bit extra fat.
Top it with some parsley and there you go.
A perfect bowl.
This breakfast keeps my blood sugar stable because we've got a lot of fat and protein.
And if you're new here, you probably don't know,
but I try to focus on having fats and protein first in the morning to keep my blood sugar stable.
Because I noticed that my body just needs a little bit more carbs.
Then after, I usually try to go for a little digestive walk.
I've been loving going outside.
I love nature and just absorbing everything around me.
And we need to get vitamin D daily.
At least I've got a day like I've got today where it's just raining and grey outside.
But usually when there's sun, I try to go for a walk.
I try to get my 10,000 steps in a day.
It just helps my body.
For lunch, I wanted something sweet and quick.
So I made the two ingredient banana pancakes.
And yes, these are the viral pancakes, but they're so good.
Just two eggs, one banana.
Mash it all up.
You can blend it optionally.
Then just some vanilla, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Cook it all up in coconut oil.
Again, try to use the best ingredients you can find.
And also don't make your pan too hot because they do burn very easily.
As you can see, my pan was a little hot.
So don't do what I did because they will stick, burn, and we just don't want that.
We want fluffy, delicious pancakes.
Just cook them all up.
And then because I'm lazy, I didn't want to clean the pan.
I just put my frozen blueberries straight in there and soak up all that juice.
And I just cook them all down.
And then I layer it with the pancakes with Greek yogurt.
So pancake, Greek yogurt, pancake, Greek yogurt.
And then I top it all off with some maple syrup and my blueberries.
And it's so good.
I love this.
I wouldn't recommend always having this for breakfast.
Because it is a very high carb meal instead of high protein, high fat meal.
So I like to have this for lunch.
Then I also paired it with a matcha latte.
I'm not an expert when it comes to matcha lattes.
Again, Serious Organics is a really good matcha powder that I could find that was budget friendly.
Sorry, I kind of splashed you all with this little matcha frothing situation.
Matcha has great antioxidants and has less caffeine.
So if you're caffeine sensitive, this is a great alternative.
And don't have coffee too late because caffeine stays in your system.
So I try to use matcha instead of coffee.
Then for today's snack was a lovely yoga ball situation.
Again, we've got more carbs because I need to add more carbs to my diet.
But we've got full fat Greek yogurt.
Always full fat.
I want those healthy fats and protein from the Greek yogurt.
Then I just added some raspberry jam.
Some blueberries.
Some khaki or persimmon.
I don't know what you want to call it.
Some goji berries.
Dark chocolate.
And lemon zest.
I know this is a lot but this combination tastes so good.
You can never go wrong with a yoga ball.
It has fat, protein, carbs.
Just balance it all and you've got a perfect snack.
Some days I need a snack.
Some days I don't.
But today was one of those days where I definitely needed a snack.
For dinner I made a meal prep recipe.
So I can take it to the office the following day.
And I made a giant pot of bauerntopf.
Which is a German stew.
And it translates to farmer's pot.
But basically it's just your typical stew.
You just cut up some potatoes.
Then we're also going to cut up some carrots and onions.
As these are some key vegetables for this stew.
They give flavor as well as fiber and vitamins and essential nutrients for our body.
Then I cooked down my ground beef.
I'm using 80-20 to get those healthy fats and protein at the same time.
I don't use any oil to cook it with because 80-20 has a lot of fat in it.
So you just add it straight to the pot and it will do the trick.
Then I add my vegetables and cook it all until it's like brownish and caramelized.
So we've got those flavors and I know that it's cooked through.
And then the spices for this are paprika and kawaii seeds and some salt.
I used pink Himalayan salt.
Kawaii seeds are amazing.
They've got so many good benefits and they taste really good.
I don't know if you can get them everywhere but they're definitely worth it.
Then I used some passata.
Try to get a good quality one.
And a splash of water.
Oh don't forget the bone broth.
We definitely need some beef bone broth in there because else it's going to be way too thick.
And then a little hack to get a perfectly cooked through.
I don't know how to say this.
I pressure cook mine for 30 minutes.
That way it's done really fast but the meat is super soft in there.
As you can see it looks delicious.
That fat layer on the top and that's all the flavor.
So we don't want to get rid of that.
We don't want to have a low-fat diet.
We want to have those healthy fats, carbs and protein which help with blood sugar spikes
while also keeping our body healthy.
I just topped mine with some parsley and oh my god this is making me hungry while I'm
eating this.
It's so good.
