How Coffee Fits Into an Animal Based DietUpdated 5 days ago

An animal-based diet prioritizes nutrient-dense, bioavailable animal foods while avoiding modern toxins like seed oils, refined sugars, and ultra-processed grains. While coffee isn’t “animal-based” by definition, many animal-based eaters include it strategically—and here’s why:

• Naturally Low-Toxin (if sourced right)

  Coffee can be problematic if it's moldy, sprayed with pesticides, or grown conventionally. But when it's regeneratively grown and purity-tested like Regen Roast, it fits cleanly into the “low toxin” philosophy of animal-based eating.

• Antioxidant-Rich + Cognitive Benefits

  Coffee is one of the richest dietary sources of antioxidants. It supports mental clarity, energy, and metabolic health when used mindfully.

• Caffeine as a Tool

  Many animal-based eaters use caffeine intentionally—before workouts, for mental performance, or in short-term fasted states. Others cycle off to protect cortisol rhythms or gut health.

• Pairs Well with Animal-Based Fats

  Blending coffee with raw milk, grass-fed butter, tallow, or colostrum is common in this community. These additions balance the stimulant effect with fat and protein for better blood sugar and hormone support.
