Steak and eggs is good for weightloss. Not a sustainable diet long term. The fat from the egg yoke is why you feel more energised, fat is better for more sustained exercise while sugars are better for more intense exercise, so if youre not doing a lot of cardio fat is typically better for energy, quitting coffee is why your sleep and focus improved.

Incorrect. Consumption of sugar is not a requirement for human nutrition and it is not a requirement for intense exercise. Im fact, many on carnivorous diets find themselves perfectly capable of intensive exercise; they even seem preform better than those on omnivorous or plant based individuals. What is a requirement is glucose for your muscles to even fire and work properly in the first place. Believe it or not, human beings have this thing called gluconeogenesis and it's very efficient at producing and recycling glucose for our body. Ergo, we do not need to eat carbs because our body efficiently makes a sufficient amount given whatever the task may be. This includes activities like resistance training, sprinting, walking, gesturing with your hands, typing, etc. Any and every movement your muscles do has it's supply of glucose through gluconeogenesis. It's even happening even if you eat carbs.
High-protein diets can support cognitive function by providing amino acids for neurotransmitters, with some studies showing benefits for focus & memory (e.g., in older adults). However, "all-protein" extremes like carnivore lack robust long-term evidence & may miss key nutrients. Consult a doc!
