I love dairy. It is a buffer food for me. The only trigger food I can think of is a delicious apple fritter. I am grateful that I am capable of having the willpower to leave them alone. I just stay clear of them. I have found a buffer food when Iâm craving one of those if I eat half of a low carb cinnamon donut from crave bakery, I no longer want anything to eat. Thank you for the information in this video.
Oddly enough, my trigger foods are generally healthier foods like yogurt, nuts, granola/muesli and fruit (especially dried). These trigger me to eat the whole bag in one sitting. I think this happens because subconsciously I know these are healthier foods so itâs okay if I eat it. Chocolate never triggers me because I know itâs not healthy to eat a lot of it. I can stop eating chocolate after one piece, but with nuts, granola, etc I could eat pounds of it and then regret sets in đ
This makes it really hard for me to eat healthy since I feel the urge to overeat healthy foods. It took many years to learn to just ignore the urge, however strong it is.
Peanut butter is on both lists, Skippy was a trigger but when I switched to natural brands it became a buffer. I add it to homemade Greek Yogurt.

What a great video! Sana and I had an impromptu live tonight (that wound up going more than 2 hours) and at one point we were talking about just this topic. Yesterday (Tuesday) my husband and I went to the state fair. I have always said that the one thing I would go off plan for is fried dough, aka funnel cakes. I had my protein first, then got a funnel cake, shared it, and was quite satisfied. I did not go back for another, and it certainly did not trigger me at all. I really do not have any triggers, but definitely have buffer foods-like Nola bars, Nush cookies, Munk Pack bars, etc. I do not indulge in these products on a daily basis, but when an urge for something sweet shows itâs ugly head, I have these items on hand to have with my meal at that time, then I am done!
Nuts trigger me.
Hmm, trigger foods: strawberries & cherries. Buffer foods: dark chocolate, espresso and ice cream.
Potatoes used to be on my trigger food list, especially as french fries. Now, I make my own hash browns, sometimes just potatoes, sometimes a mix of potatoes with sweet potato and/or other veggies like kohlrabi, turnip or scallions. Having it for breakfast occasionally is a great buffer food.
Hot chocolate on a cold winter day is also a great buffer item.
Thanks for the video Indigo. I fall within this trap many times. A big reason why I'm challenging myself to carnivore next month. The carbs kill me I make bad food choices…
I am a fast food addict. I am not going to list all the trigger foods but I have been known to do a drive by with Dairy Queen to get my blizzard AND a large. I bought the Ninja icecream maker to help me with blizzard addiction. Maybe this could be my buffer?
Peanut Butter! OMG it kills me
This was very helpful, thank you! I thought it was just me and my own personal weakness! Then I look at the comments and see how a lot of people have the same trigger of chocolate (which also has caffeine, which is also a trigger for me)!
Buffer food for me is fat in the form of grass fed butter or bacon. If I don't have enough fat then I have a problem! Trigger foods for me are coffee (the caffeine) and ChocZero chocolates!
Diet Coke is a buffer food for me too, although I have never ânot drank itâ long enough to know if it impacts my blood sugar. It doesnât seem to cause me to crave sweet foods. Chocolate is a trigger!
I have an odd feeling of being triggered. I never eat sweets. Never for years. But sometimes if I see a chocolate donut I feel like I need one but I really cannot stand the taste of sweet. I donât ever want fruit nor any sweet taste. But the trigger sometimes is a chocolate donut. I donât even like chocolate. I donât understand this. I never give in because sugar makes me physically sick. I just get a slight crave for it.
Pistachio nuts…trigger!
Great concept and makes sense! When I do a hard carnivore challenge then my buffer food is a small bowl of cottage cheese mixed with cinnamon and peanut butter powder. Sometimes i crush a bit of sugar free or dark choc in.
Fruit is always a trigger food. And corn chips!!
I am blessed to have no trigger foods on carnivore. My favorite buffer food is a little baked souffle made out of separated egg whites beaten, and the yolks creamed with some cream cheese, folded in, and sprinkled with a few blueberries. I can eat a slice of that and I'm happy for hours
I love the grapefuit
Examples of your triggers would really help! Otherwise, pretty good video.
A few ounces of macadamia nuts and dark chocolate are my buffer foods.
Chocolate and dairy and vegetables and fruit are buffers. Nuts, any keto baked good, or all fruit or keto âjamâ is a trigger. I think itâs that concentration of fruit. Oh and keto cereals, especially magic spoon, are a trigger.
Just listened to Thomas Delauer talking about controlling dopamine hits…this topic is totally the same thing.
With me, it is more about snacky foods of any kind that trigger me. Mindless eating. Eating meals only works best for me. Keto Chow creami ice cream works great for me as a meal sometimes and doesnât cause any problems. I donât think using it to make keto treats like cookies, etc. would work for me.
Buffer foods: Seltzer water, diet coke or pepsi, dairy, fork tender broccoli [raw or undercooked is just a punishment!].
Trigger foods: Chocolate [even the foul tasting keto chocolates] — but they just trigger me to eat more of the chocolate [even the nasty kind], not to dive into a whole series of forbidden foods. If I ever manage to make chocolate mousse (with a keto sweetener), I may have to freeze the leftover servings. Hope that works!
I feel lucky after listening to this that I don't have many triggers. When I do have a trigger I am able to stop and not binge. I still feel bad to have eaten anything wrong, no matter how much or little I eat. This is more of an issue for me.. Guilt and my need to be perfect.
Hi from The UK. I saw on yestrday's video that you also like coco butter. I put it in my morning coffee with MCT as a 'sort of bulletproof' coffee. Have you tried it?
I do allow some peanut butter ( no sugar added)along with butter. It is only a tiny bit to taste. Makes butter taste better. Also i make cottage cheese ice cream or now keto chow ice cream to help with sweet craving. I donât want the real thing because i know that real sugar would send me off to the races.
After 2 weeks of Keto and seeing my predicted A1C go down 2 full points, I am tempted to celebrate and blow my good work down the drain. lOL
When I make a delicious keto sweet treat, like one of the many delicious cookie recipes, or your fabulous chocolate PB protein cupcakes, etcâŠ.unfortunately they can be a trigger food, leading me to binge, especially since I can justify that I know theyâre made with good ingredients (and after all, I did all the work to make them myself!) âeven though I store them in the freezer and try to only allow myself one serving per day. Guess Iâll always be a sugar/carb addict; so I do much better to only make small batches or even just a single serving treat, like a mug cake, on occasion. As far as buffer foods, I do enjoy my Relyte or LMNT typically twice a dayâŠ& maybe a Diet A & W Root Beer a couple times per week (although I know the ingredients are not that good..) Thankfully, being keto-carnivore for over 5 years has my cravings under controlâbut one day, I may just go all the way and get off all sweeteners, which should eliminate all desire for binging on sweet treats. Not ready for that yet, lol! đ
This was a really good video to help realizing how some of these foods work.
If hungry in afternoon dip into a box of Cheese-itâs but after a few back to the box for more. Especially since a serving is 33 crackers.
YES! So true. Lucky for me it is just me and the hubby so I can make sure those trigger foods do not ever reside here. LOL So many of my buffer foods are freezable, so I freeze them to help not push me.
My trigger foods are mainly chips or cookies. My buffer foods are yogurt and dark chocolate. OR a sugar free chocolate macaroon or something like that and, Perfect Keto Nola Bars – the peanut butter or white chocolate macadamia.
Diet Coke is a buffer drink for me. It is a nice treat in the afternoon and doesnât make me want other sweet things.
