Lifestyle

Weekly “Sara Saffari” Eating + Grocery Haul (Highlights & Routines)

Coffee / Caffeine Habit

  • Caffeine is treated as part of her daily routine.
    • She jokes: “OD on caffeine every day.”
    • She previously drank 11–13 cups, which her doctor linked to a stomach ulcer due to coffee’s acidity.

Morning / Breakfast Style (Eggs + Egg Whites)

  • Sometimes eats mostly eggs.
  • Example breakfast routine:
    • 2–3 whole eggs
    • Mixed with 300 g egg whites
  • She prefers egg yolks that look “vibrant” and checks eggs for any damage.

What She Buys for Groceries (Video Examples)

Carbs

  • Sourdough is a recurring choice.
    • Eats about 3 pieces with breakfast.

Protein

  • Buys Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs (and also egg whites).
  • Chooses wild-caught salmon.
    • Notes she may remove skin depending on preference (she personally would eat the skin).

No “Snacking Culture” at Home

  • Says she doesn’t snack when at home.

Eating Out Rules

  • “Locks in” at home, but when she eats out she “cheats.”
  • Typically eats out 2–3 times per week.
  • Tries to avoid super processed foods, but won’t be the friend who brings her own food.
  • Example stance:
    • Doesn’t order drinks much—says it’s become familiar and she won’t be pressured.

Mental / Health Coping Aside (Therapeutic Method)

  • Mentions a “therapeutic” distraction method for intrusive thoughts called the flash method:
    1. Put on a distracting video
    2. Tap self 8 times
    3. Blink 3 times
    4. Repeat the process 5 times
  • She says she might do it once a day or every couple of days, and also mentions being advised to do EMDR.

    • Chocolate hazelnut babka (rated extremely highly—around 8–10/10)
    • Ends with Häagen-Dazs white chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream
