Between you and Ken Berry this has actually saved my life. I did not start Keto until July 21st 2020. The reason I started keto was to stop the inflammation and joint pain I had. 2 years ago a doctor told me I was bone on bone and needed double knee replacement or a wheelchair. Since starting keto my knees mo longer hurt my hands can grip tools again. I did not do keto for weight loss I did it for pain relief. I have gone from 270 plus pounds to 228 pounds in 6 months. My 100 yard run is equivalent or better than alot of NFL players. I am 51 years old. Thank you for saving my life.
That's amazing! I eat this way for health benefits too - decrease inflammation. I started keto to lose weight but realized I feel so good when I eat very low carbs and more fat/protein. I'm so glad you are having pain relief and can run again!
You mention inflammation, do you worry about all the Linoleic Acid (Omega 6 in supermarket chicken and eggs?) I’m not Keto police, but reading lots of articles lately about this. Love your recipes BTW 👍
These are amazing recipes! It’s clearly evident that you spend a lot of time and effort providing us with these fantastic recipes. You are truly THE BOMB!! Thank you ever so much!
Ok, I just have to comment again. Last night I prepared New York steak (too cold to grill here, so seared in iron skillet and finished in- oven - got them at Costco for a pretty good price and they were THICK!), and your creamed spinach recipe. My son and I had never eaten creamed spinach before, and let me tell you, we felt like we were eating a restaurant prepared meal, it was soooo good!! I also dug out my seldom used instapot and made chicken thighs for the taquitos and your white chicken chili. Amazon order coming today with freezer bags and those holders and then I will put the Sesame Chicken recipe together. I've been keto/low carb for almost two years yet never learned how to plan and prepare meals ahead of time, but I think you are the person for me to follow to learn how. Thanks, Annie for all the heart and time you put into these videos. I don't know how you do it but I sure am thankful that you do!
Hi Julie! I plan on bringing back my weekly meal prep videos the middle of this month. I took a little time off from filming over the holidays to enjoy the family and get organized. I spent this entire week cleaning and going through the boys' rooms. I can't believe how much stuff we accumulated in just 4 years in this house! 😬
@@KetoFocus that's so great! I love that you only focus on 2 proteins and get a whole week of meals! Less store time and less prep time = more time for some exercise! 🤞😀
I watched Wes from Highfalutin Low-carb making Heavenly Fan's french fries, both with almond and coconut flours. He several times mentioned your take on them with the addition of mashed potato flavoring. It is so much fun to see TH-camrs I follow reference each other. Go Keto!
You all probably dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Leonardo Cayson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thank you for your recipes. Your channel is helping me stay on track. They are easy and most importantly, delicious. My family is not Keto and loves them. Your channel is my favorite!
Thank you. I am a nurse who works 12-hour days and live an hour from work. These freezer/Instant Pot meals are so helpful and I have the leftovers to take to work.
I had an Instapot but gave it away because I couldn’t figure it out!! 😅 Thank you for the recipes...they’re great!! I really like these meal-prep videos!! It makes a keto lifestyle so easy!!
You make eating Keto look so easy!! I’m embarking on this journey again as I keep falling off but now that I have found you it will be easier.....now for some tips on getting the energy to meal prep and cook!
Yes! I use it all the time. Some people say it's not keto because it has too many carbs but really one teaspoon is for the entire recipe so it's not adding too many carbs to each serving plus it's gluten free.
I love your keto taquito recipe I made some back in October For a meal prep I was able to make 3 big foil pans for us and that’s 3-6 meals for us depending on how many we eat
These look great! I saw High Falutin’ Low Carb mention you a couple of times in his review of the Heavenly Fan French Fry recipe. When I saw the title, I was all prepared to post about your “secret add-in ingredient,” but he’s evidently a fan and recommended people check you out! In case you missed it... 💕
Instant pot or air fryer which is your go to machine? I’m a single person 64 (almost) and I use cast-iron most of the time. I have a crockpot and a blender that makes soup as well and a lot of little devices because I’m trying to minimize since I’m single. I’m just not sure if either one of them is beneficial to having ... Do they really make things easier when doing food prep for the week?
I know this is an old comment, but they make instant pots with crock pot settings and I highly recommend one of those. I gave my crock pot away since I just never used it after I got one of those, and I use the instant pot for cooking frozen chicken constantly. It makes my life so much easier
How do you keep your spinach fresh? I’ve almost decided to start buying it frozen because it doesn’t seem to last much longer than a few days in my fridge
It's just an alternative to soy sauce with no carbs or gluten. I don't know if it has any more benefits than flavor, big most keto recipes recommend it.
@@rachellamb2564 I know this comment is old, but just thought I'd mention that some brands of liquid aminos contain sugar. Coconut aminos are made from the sap of coconuts :) It's still a good option for people who are sensitive/allergic to soy.
MAPLE QUESTION: Have you worked with maple emulsion or extract before? Any ideas on how much to use if we can't get keto maple syrup where we are (stores and amazon.ca are all sold out)? And do we also need to add more of another sauce to make up for the 1/4 cup of liquid missing if we switch to flavoring instead of syrup?
When you say steak, what meat do you mean? In Sweden we buy them buy part name/names from the animal... i.e entrecote, sirloin and so on.... looks great all of what you show and I am glad to have found your Keto channel. Will start up again after the holidays. Best wishes from Swedens westcoast xoxo
@@KetoFocus I've heard of chuck roast but never chuck steak. I'm gonna have to look for these. Your steak looked so juicy and tender, made my mouth water!
I wouldn’t have leftovers. My husband eats enough for 3 people. This is no joke. I made him homemade hash browns, 3 eggs and 2 pieces of sausage last night. He was still hungry after all that. He’s slim and eats anything
I enjoy your ideas. But worry how your family can handle the inflammation from so much dairy packed into the same week? That can't be sustainable. I save dairy for a once a week or other week cheat that will still keep me in ketosis. When I overindulged over holidays, I was in physical pain and it also negatively affected mood and thoughts. Taking a while to clear it out of tge system. At least one of your recipes was dairy free, and I look forward to trying out the flavour combo... although will have to figure out an oven & frying pan adaptation...
Some people are dairy sensitive and others are not. I'm sure the lady behind KetoFocus would observe if her family had adverse reactions to dairy. Genetics play a big role in whether you can tolerate dairy. I read in 'Living Dairy Free for Dummies' that people of Northern European and Western European descent often can digest dairy pretty well. People of African, Asian and Southern European descent most likely don't. If you are of mixed descent, you likely can only tolerate a bit of dairy here and there. It's not a given, of course we are individuals, but I thought I'd share :)

Love all the work that goes into making these recipes and ideas! Thanks
Thanks Linda!
Creamed spinach sounds awesome the way you made it.

Hola keto fokus.prepare los taquitos y nos encantaron

Yes! Glad I could help. Meal prepping is key. If I don’t have Keto foods on hand, it’s easier for me to fall off.
You are a wealth of information. Thank you so much👍🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
❤️ this series!! Thanks for the help in the kitchen!!
Especially LOVE the freezer meals!!

Mmmmmm all of these preps look so yummy and perfect to have throughout the week ❤️❤️

Ohhh my kiddos will love the chicken taquitos! Can you make a cookbook please? I really enjoy watching your videos ❤️😘
THANK YOU!! I try and try to tell people about Arrowroot and its many proprieties over Corn starch..
Yes! I use it all the time. Some people say it's not keto because it has too many carbs but really one teaspoon is for the entire recipe so it's not adding too many carbs to each serving plus it's gluten free.
I love your videos.

Chicken + hand mixer = pulled chicken = genius!!!
Yes! It’s the best tip ever
El steak con la crema de espinacas es lo siguiente que voy a preparar.
Another great video!
Do you have any recommendation for a different oil to use for people who have food allergy to avocados?
What could I use instead of spinach?
Thank you

I saw that you’re doing recipes with crockpots too, but I’m still curious about the two additional machines and their benefits :-)

White Chicken Chili - yum!
It’s so good!
Nice!
Just wanted to say, your husband is a very luck man to eat like this everyday! Happy New Year!
Yay he gets spoiled 😄 Except when I’m testing a bunch of recipes with foods that he doesn’t like 😂
@@KetoFocus What's his least favorite recipe so far?
How do you keep your spinach fresh? I’ve almost decided to start buying it frozen because it doesn’t seem to last much longer than a few days in my fridge
What are liquid amino’s? Their benefit, and the purpose of them?
It's just an alternative to soy sauce with no carbs or gluten. I don't know if it has any more benefits than flavor, big most keto recipes recommend it.

This was a chuck steak but sirloin or rib eye is fine too.
Keto!!!
Oh i found a thick-it-up. From dixie diners club. Amazon has it .
Is it less “slippery” or slimy than just plain xanthan gum?
Nice!
What kind of steak did you use and did you put on your grill frozen?
It was check steak and it wasn’t frozen. It was thawed.
@@KetoFocus I've heard of chuck roast but never chuck steak. I'm gonna have to look for these. Your steak looked so juicy and tender, made my mouth water!
what cut steak did you buy
Chuck steak
is stock (beef or chicken) keto friendly?
Yes, it is! I usually look for chicken bone broth if I am getting it from the store. But chicken stock works too.
Awesome thank you for always replying
I need an instant pot...
I wouldn’t have leftovers. My husband eats enough for 3 people. This is no joke. I made him homemade hash browns, 3 eggs and 2 pieces of sausage last night. He was still hungry after all that. He’s slim and eats anything
That sounds like my dad! He’s the same way 😂
Where do I find the recipes
Can we print without all the advertising?
Careful what you pick up when shopping for 'liquid aminos'. Bragg's coconut aminos have horrendous amounts of sugar in them
Yes they do! Good point 👍
Who has leftover steak? Lol
Lol! Right?!
😂
You never thaw frozen meat with warm or hot water. Always cold water

I’m surprised you can freeze meat and vegetables together. Seems like the blood would ruin veggies
13:43 I love that. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
😁✌🖖👌👍 😎
Has anyone ever told you that you and Skylar from Breaking Bad look alike?
Please don't run chicken under warm water. Please use cold water. Warm water can cause germy sickness.
I am really enjoying your content and learning a lot. Check me out if you can find the time with all that cooking lol.
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
I thought built bars have sugar in them?
Thanks Bob the welder
They have a small amount of sugar that is from the real dark chocolate in bar. Each bar is around 4g net carbs.
OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Thanks
