Food Habits

Katie keeps a diet that is not too rigid; she does not deprive herself of the occasional indulgence. She starts her day with a green smoothie or coffee since she is not much of a breakfast person, and then has a light lunch like kale salad or fish, without carbs like pasta and bread, which make her feel drowsy. Katie believes in enjoying her food without overthinking it. If she indulges one day, she balances it out the next. Though she doesn’t see herself as a pro cook, she genuinely enjoys preparing meals and finds joy in cooking.
