I like how this channel shows a different side of Raven. Im one month younger than her and she always felt like a cousin to me. Loving the channel and I wish you and your wife happy healthy life!!
Thank you for pointing out that your body “structure” is the same no matter the weight. It’s what the standard scale is missing. There is more to it than just height and weight to your health. You have to understand that your body is just structured a particular way. And each of us has a comfortable weight that we feel our best at. That’s different for every body. Some part of knowing that made me feel better about living in my current body while I’m aspiring to be 75lbs down. My access pounds are the story of survival in the hardest year of my life so I’m not sad but I want to restore myself physically, emotionally and mentally and this conversation was so inspired, honest and encouraging. Thank you for posting.
Pretty much. But working out you can absolutely mold your body. Build a butt and firm chest. I lost 60 lbs and my doctor told me that it’s less about the weight and more about where it’s carried. Keeping your waist under a certain size eliminates the threat of heart disease.
Thank u Raven for being a leader for us all! That episode of That So Raven where Raven walks the runway in her dress no matter what anyway says was life changing for so many of us!
I go between 180 and 220... it is frustrating. 190 is where I want to be... that is where I feel my healthiest.... it is just sooooo hard. I was doing really well, but then I gained 20lbs recently. We (my wife and I and our 4 kiddos) got 2 new foster kiddos in the house (grand total = 6 kiddos) who were severely malnurished, so my wife was cooking to healthy them up... and I enjoyed it a bit too much. Now I have to get back to my normal eating and get back to where I need to be. It is hard because I have always have issues with food. So trying to maintain is a daily struggle
I really commend Raven for talking about this subject. I know this is not something easy for her to talk about but her bravery is amazing and I’m happy she did this. Thank you 🙏🏾 and Gob bless.
I suffered from a severe eating disorder for 9 years of my adult life. Ages 25 to 34. I am 5’5” and weighed 80 lbs the majority of that time. I’m 40 now. Thank God I’ve been fully recovered since 2015, but I wish I could get those years I lost back. So glad that chapter of my life is done!🤍
You miss raven! Are TWO are true warrior's! Speaking on such a touchy topic, with OUT the guilt that society trys to place on it, is something that will help millions! Thank you greatly for putting yourself out there.
I’ve always struggled with weight loss. After when I got sick with thyroid cancer. And I also have a disability that comes with other health issues. And you have always been my role model for acting. And now I’m a actress. I’ve been in a few movies. When I saw you on tv and how comfortable you were. You made me realized. It is all about your talent and not your weight. I finally lost weight. And it took forever to lose weight ♥️.
Raven and Miranda, thanks for your vulnerability and kindness to share and give insight and wisdom! You are beautiful and refreshing Raven and Miranda!
Wow, this is the conversation I didn't know I needed. I have experience the same things and it's been a very difficult and lonely battle. At 36 I was at that point where I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but still had work to do.... After so much trauma in my life, I decided that enough was enough.Then my sister committed suicide 💔 and things went down hill for me. I'm now 41 and finally seeing the end of the tunnel again (sometimes) After she passed my emotional eating got worse and I'm at my heaviest I've ever been. Today I decided to give myself a chance (again) and started a low carb diet as I get the hang of keto. I decided to come on TH-cam to check out your channel while I cooked my dinner and this was the first video I saw. You don't know how much it meant for me to hear you've struggled too. Makes me feel less alone and understood in this battle. ❤
I really hate weight/beauty standards that are set in this industry. All that matters is that you are healthy and whole. I hope that you heal Raven! You have been such an inspiration and source of goodness to your fans and supporters for decades.
You're beautiful inside and out Raven. No matter what size you are. For your health, it's wonderful to see you taking such good care of yourself. I'm a year younger than you and grew up watching you on TV. We loved everything you've done. Watching you come out really helped me to as well. As the son of Greek immigrants, food was also a struggle and something that took me a long time to manage and have a much healthier relationship with. Life is a journey and I'm happy to see yours is unfolding beautifully.
Yeah i just heard from Dr. Westman that youre doing low carb. Super amazing to hear that, and this video is so good in casual understanding, and explaining what this diet does and how people's bodies are different. Healthy doesnt look the same, but unhealthy is what we can all feel.
I always have fought with my weight. I was 380 at my very heaviest. At 6'3" I was a blueberry. Finally at 50 I had a gastric sleeve surgery and have lost over 100. But I also have learned how to eat, and love myself even if I'm not a swimsuit model. Lobe you both! And RAVEN...you are perfect the way you are. ✌💜🏳️🌈
I have been majorly depressed for the last 10 years. This video is a blessing! I've gained 5 stone and never been able to get back to my original size.. you have no idea how low people who knew me look down on me because of this aspect. So thankyou
I’ve had an Ed ever since I can remember probably since 12 (now 20) it’s crazy. Even now I’m stuck in it. People make fun of me bc I’m “too skinny” or I “look like I’m dying” and the crazy thing is they think it helps lol. It’s such a touchy subject and even though people are more excepting now, they still don’t understand how words effect people. Also, people seem to think that being overweight is the only thing that causes health issues but so does being underweight. Neither is good and both mean your body isn’t going to be happy. I remember watching Disney channel and I honestly thought you were so pretty and hilarious! And I still do:) both of you are beautiful and I am happy you found what works for you! Happy holidays
It's so wild when we step into someone else's perception of themselves. I've ALWAYS thought your body is so beautiful. The ups & downs, I've really loved every look you've had. I never knew until recently how much you were struggling. I'm really glad you're doing the work to get where YOU want to be, and I hope you know you've always been so beautiful, inside & out, and we're happy when you're happy 💗❤💗
I gotta say don't worry about what other's think you're size is perfect it's has always been perfect you should never let people words get to you continue to be the wonderful person you've always been and keep ya head up I love you Raven ❤
Thank you guys for this. I struggle with my weight and eating habits. As a former student athlete and military veteran people make it know that you’ve change and it make me so self conscious.
I’m so happy you guys made this video I relate to both of you guys in different times in my life. It’s still a daily struggle and I’m 30 now and ur right Miranda it is exhausting I’ve wasted my whole 20s hiding not visiting fam or friends because my weight is up and down it’s super lonely! ❤️❤️ And Raven I’ve always thought u were beautiful no matter what and I’ve always wished I could look at myself the same.
First of all Raven, you are absolutely beautiful. But your wife is so beautiful and so supportive and I love it. She supports you in a way that reminds you that you’re in control, but still shows you no matter what I am there and I love that😍💖🙈👏🏾🎉✨🙏🏾🏋🏾♀️
I love you ladies for this. You are both so inspiring and strong to be able to have the conversation. I’ve been struggling with my weight on and off for about six years now and I’ve had a lot of trouble with different diets. For the longest time I thought I had metabolic syndrome because I would do everything right and still gain weight. I do believe now that listening to my body, understanding its structure, and going by what feels best for me is the only way to do it. I am taking all of your tips and tricks because they are both so different and using these now to implement a different sort of lifestyle for myself. Especially because diabetes, heart disease, and obesity run heavily in my family. Raven, you are the shit girl. I enjoy watching you and hearing you talk in all different platforms and you are so down to earth. XOXO
Raven, you look amazing. You always have. Society sucks, weight sucks. Im still thicky thicky thick. Just finished having 2 kids, so hoping it clicks sometime..
Incredible!- Great topic, love the editing and the interview style going off on your own then coming back together. Really loving this new style of your videos - keep it up. Be great if you could touch on being in a mixed weight relationship in another video - thanks again
i must say that i was thin until i was 19. i often heard from my relatives "eat kid". i remember my mother telling me that she was in a mother child cure with me because i even didn't gain weight. i rather always had the problem that i was one of the bigger ones in the room. then i started my training as a geriatric nurse and was traumatized several times in the nursing home. i had nothing to balance my stress and the pressure on me. at some point i only had food. i was getting chubby and everyone around me noticed and had something to say. at that time i couldn't talk about what was going on. even had nutrition counseling or i knew some things about food from my cook training before that. now it's like i've tried so many things to lose weight but i struggle because the real reason in my head paralyzes me and holds me back. i would love to feel good but society makes it hard. have to say that my blood levels are still in the green range and i don't have any restrictions or pain. i don't want to hear that i'm brave when i wear a swimsuit. i want to be myself no matter what i look like and not hear i have to lose 30 kilos to be accepted.
Thank you both so much for this video. I’m going on my own journey now, and I’ve tried every diet out there…. But once I discovered & learned more about you’re journey and the method in which you both have taken, along with the education and clearly wonderful benefits of it all… I became inspired to try a Keto, and fasting lifestyle. It’s like something clicked for me & I’ve never in my life been more excited about my food choices & having the recognition that it is a lifestyle change.And I just want to say thank you both for your insight, you’re personal journey with weight & food, the education of it all, truly I thank you for sharing your experiences & opening my eyes to not only educate myself more, but to actually see eating in a completely different way, it really is something that makes me pause, look & think of the benefits of a healthy balanced lifestyle change differently. The way I went about all the diets through out my life, & how for me personally, never seeing real change, It was then I realized that, for me, it’s definitely a change in mentality. The food consumption along with the overall lifestyle, that makes it easier & less stressful about food & my body structure & just knowing that my body is my body, & taking care of it with a better understanding, makes my mind, body & soul happy.💫So THANK YOU BOTH! Without you’re education, i dont know if I’d ever see or do things differently. Forever great full 🤍
I always thought you looked gorgeous… You were that celebrity that I grew up with that had a body structure like mine.. I completely understand wanting to be healthy and comfortable in your own body. I commend you guys on speaking so personally on this subject. Great job guys. I can’t believe I’m just now getting to see these videos. I also want to say, it meant a lot when you came out as being gay. I just wish people would understand that it’s wrong for gay people to have to “come out”. People in heterosexual relationships don’t have to “come out” with who they date and love so why should we. You guys are Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤓
Thank you for sharing with all of us, I think you both are so amazing , I have had weight problems all my life and have done so much, my body doesn't like carbs I found out and I love them so much, I eat not because I am hungry but to eat, for every emotion. I love that you two are opening up more about what the two of you have been thru with weight and food and I can't wait to hear more!❤ Raven you look amazing and I got a purple potatoe to try it, it was really good!
Girl I Loved N Liked you ever since you become famous on tv your beautiful no matter what I love the way you is bless you n your girlfriend and your guys family 💯🙏🦋👍🏽💋🌹❤️
This was such a great talk! I truly needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling with my weight but you are not alone I’m on this journey with you!!
Very good topic ladies. Definitely something I've struggled with my whole life as well. Thanks for introducing the Zero app I'll for sure be giving it a try. Wish you and everyone who struggles with food addiction success, self love and peace of mind. You're not alone. Against very informative video. Thanks
Thank you both soooo much I grew up watching Raven and being able to relate to you because when we were growing up ppl just wanted you to be skinny the skinnier the better no matter how unhealthy you looked or felt ppl passing out and literally Not eating just to be skinny and I tried to starve myself a couple times and would barely made 24hrs 😂😂😂😂
Great topic! I took some wonderful notes. I will be trying some of the tips you suggested with the keto diet. Raven you look fabulous…keep up the good work. My build is very similar to yours and much like you I have struggled with my weight fluctuations for a very long time. You have always been a very big inspiration for me, because your not afraid to be you! Thank you so much for this! Miranda your awesome too! You guys just work so well together I can see the love and friendship you both have for each other. Happy Pride month 🏳️🌈

Thank you for sharing as a little girl I was always told that's not good for you your gonna get fat as I grew older I had thst in the back of my head I would sleep est if something would bother me and had an ex who would look at every type of girl and forced me to go to the gym to change my look but deep down inside I would always comfort myself with food and always made jokes saying stressed spelled backwards is dessert I still now struggle with my weight issues still go through it with my ex husband he's always saying oh your going out with that so I dress in leggings I have a closet full of dresses and nice clothes but there's always thst voice in the back of my mind that makes me self conscious sorry for my poor writing but just want to say thanks again for discussing this issue I think us humas in general need to come together and support eachother
I have been low carb/keto for 4 years, have had a few off the rail moments, but I keep getting right back on that horse because of how I feel. Have recently started fasting as well and it does feel really good. I am considering doing Dr. Berry's BBBE that 2krazy ketos did for 44 days with great body recomposition results. This WOE has been a game changer for me as well, keto on ❤
Congratulations 2 both of u👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! That's a long hard road 2 get 2 when ur use 2 not knowing how 2 eat good! Proud or u guys! I'm 58 and I've always been heavy but healthy! Played sports, excercised. I'm a professional musician since 14yrs old. Traveling/touring. Etc... my mom would always pat me on my butt , legs when I passed by her and say: u should try and lose weight now, it gets a lot harder when ur older. But at the same time, still eating garbage. She cooked every day. But in between fast foods & sweets. In the house out the house. Lmao! 2003 I was up looking at tv 2-3 in the am. I'd keep junk in my draws. I don't know what came over me, but I got up and threw everything out! Stopped drinking soda, red meat. If I wanted something sweet, I ate it. I ate: salad, ground Turkey, fish chicken, veg. I didn't even realize how much&how fast the weight was falling off. People were like whoa! Wasn't until I was coming in from work, changed my clothes on my way back down the steps and my shorts fell. I almost killed myself. Lol..... I lost about 60 pounds. And the a few yrs later, stress ,depression got me. Never got back 2 weight I was, but 2 close 4 me! Now I'm soooooo stuck! My health is not good meaning most of my body is JACKED UP! Spinal stenosis, scoliosis, hip bursitis, deg. Arthritis knees,hip. Etc..... I stop w/that dont wanna depress nobody🤗 so w/ all of that I wish 2 b like u guys when I grow up. Lol... Looking 4 a good therapist also. Ready 2 get my quality of life back! Thank u 2 4 starting the channel. I know ur gonna help a lot of people! Much luv & peace 2 u♡
Great convo! You are looking fabulous and doing great with this lifestyle Raven-Symoné! Miranda truly loves you and cares for you - Dr. Jason Fung is such an incredible man and has helped so many people in the keto community, myself included. I can’t believe she tried to “buy” him for you 😂. I just want to say thank you for connecting with me and expressing interest in trying my keto noodles and lasagna sheets. I apologize for taking longer than expected to get them to you, but I promise you, it will be worth the wait! I will try my best to get them to you soon. Deep-fried green tea ice cream with extra chocolate…🤤 I want to ketofy that for you now! I’m sure there’s a way!! Ann ❤️
I always failed at the keto diet... because there are so many fraudulent products out there with the label "keto friendly" on them that it almost seemed impossible to have a simple keto diet that would be sustainable. That is until I found the carnivore diet. Nine months in and I'm now in a daily state of therapeutic ketosis... I am no longer hypertensive, no longer pre-type 2 diabetic, no longer do I have IBS, no longer do I have GERD, no longer do I have sleep apnea, all of my neuropathy is gone, my psoriasis is gone and I've so far lost sixty pounds. Also, after a full metabolic blood workup, my cholesterol went down by 37 points while all my other markers are good. I'm 56 years old and I'm jogging and working out again for the first time in 17 years. Its my goal to age as slowly as possible and regain as much health and fitness as I can before its too late. Good work Raven... keep it up. If you ever feel that you're struggling... consider doing a year of an all animal product diet and see how fast you recover your health.
I appreciate this channel. This video was so educational. Before the covid lockdown I use to be like 104lbs now I'm 166lbs. I use to be able to eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound but now I'm getting older it's catching up to me. Guess I over did the eating during lockdown lol but I tried to go vegan a few times and it was so hard. Only because I was doing it completely wrong but I definitely wanna give the Keto a try. That Key lime pie you guys made looked delicious
Most of us get to make this journey in relative obscurity, i can't imagine the head trip of doing it while in show business or show business adjacent - brutal☹️. I'm glad you found the right path for you, i also follow Dr Fung so thought your video chat with him was way cool. This was a great video, thx for sharing.
Never miss a video from you guys💜love how you talk about this(and everything ) so naturally.Lets not forget the editing, amazing👍🏻 But the music on top is just distracting ,especially for me,English is not my first language. And anyway,you guys talking are interesting enough😃👍🏻
I'm sorry that you even have to speak to the masses about your body like that. I'll never understand why it matters to ppl so much. As long as you're happy and healthy I don't care what your size is. You are loves regardless.
Ray you look good to me..knock off 30 or 50 more if you want but no more. Please don't take this the wrong way but you naturally have a larger frame, broader shoulders, wide hips, thick thighs, etc. It's not all about being skinny; you need to be healthy. Right now you look great. Do what makes you happy though, please don't get too thin..and if anyone has a problem with it they have two lips and I know where they can put them. Love and light my dear, take care.
i’m 13 and i think i have a food addiction based on what Raven just said. Looking back to when i got my teeth pulled i couldn’t eat certain stuff. and i started crying because i couldn’t eat pizza and everyone else was eating except for me because my mash potatoes was still cooking.
Thanks for this video. You most definitely look like you've lost a lot of inches along with your weight. You look fabulous! I've been doing keto for almost 6 years and I too am a huge fan of Keto Chow. I have a whole pantry of it. BTW. Have you tried making Keto Chow ice cream in a Ninja Creami? It's a HUGE game changer. You really need to get one. 😋😋😋
Hi Raven and Miranda, I saw the video I am Italian and obviously like most people I follow a fairly balanced Mediterranean diet, preferring a lot of fruit and vegetables, whole carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and obviously in the right quantities also desserts and sweets. Following this style, I have never gained too much weight or lost weight, I am in the right weight. Seeing this video the message that comes out is "I solved my problem with food by removing carbohydrates and fasting" obviously you do it because maybe you have pathologies or something else I don't know but maybe it was better to specify why this diet you follow with fasts included it is not for everyone indeed it is harmful if not done well and many girls could take a cue instead of eating everything in a balanced way without fasting in case they have no health problems but their interest is only to be in better shape. I think it's nice that you shared your stories etc ... but the message that you remove carbohydrates is wrong or at least it should have been better explained why and to say not to imitate this diet if you do not have carbohydrate metabolization pathologies.
I have a completely different experience with food and being raised in the south. For me, I have been naturally thin my entire life. And being raised in the south, I was always looked at as sickly and malnourished because I didn’t have a certain amount of thickness to my body. It’s interesting because in the south a lot of people are raised that being thick is being healthy and if you’re too thin that must mean you’re sickly. But in the industry that I was trying to be a part of as a professional dancer and an artist a TV host a creative etc., the thinner you are the healthier you are. So I’ve always had this dichotomy of what I am supposed to look like. Even to this day I still struggle with excepting being naturally thin and wanting to be thicker. And as a Transwoman there is a layer of body dysmorphia that plays into that and is only increased by that confusion
This just goes to show how alone she felt. She stated she was the only one back then pushing for body positivity, but that’s not true. There were a lot of BBW like Monique who had to scream she is comfortable in her skin so ppl would stop shaming her in hood that she would crack and crawl under a rock. We need to do better…

Why do you guy's keep me crying 😢 I love Raven so much for sharing her story. I grew up watching her. THANK YOU ❤
Raven nothing happens by accident.. we love you and always have.. ❤️

I love her album Raven and I love the song called “Thick Girl”.
I started Keto a week ago my God I'm thankful I found it 🙏
Binge eating as I watch this, today was challenging 😬 I can really relate, thanks for sharing!

Raven you’re beautiful always, period!! ❤️🔥
Raven... same age... similar weight struggle too... 110lbs down since my lifestyle... keep it up
It's so wild when we step into someone else's perception of themselves. I've ALWAYS thought your body is so beautiful. The ups & downs, I've really loved every look you've had. I never knew until recently how much you were struggling. I'm really glad you're doing the work to get where YOU want to be, and I hope you know you've always been so beautiful, inside & out, and we're happy when you're happy 💗❤💗

Important talks
What a great discussion. Thank you for your vulnerability. This will help many people.
First of all Raven, you are absolutely beautiful. But your wife is so beautiful and so supportive and I love it. She supports you in a way that reminds you that you’re in control, but still shows you no matter what I am there and I love that😍💖🙈👏🏾🎉✨🙏🏾🏋🏾♀️
I love you ladies for this. You are both so inspiring and strong to be able to have the conversation. I’ve been struggling with my weight on and off for about six years now and I’ve had a lot of trouble with different diets. For the longest time I thought I had metabolic syndrome because I would do everything right and still gain weight. I do believe now that listening to my body, understanding its structure, and going by what feels best for me is the only way to do it. I am taking all of your tips and tricks because they are both so different and using these now to implement a different sort of lifestyle for myself. Especially because diabetes, heart disease, and obesity run heavily in my family. Raven, you are the shit girl. I enjoy watching you and hearing you talk in all different platforms and you are so down to earth. XOXO
Thank you❤️
Raven, you look amazing. You always have. Society sucks, weight sucks. Im still thicky thicky thick. Just finished having 2 kids, so hoping it clicks sometime..
I enjoyed this video and the rawness and being open. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for being vulnerable💙🫶🏾
Incredible!- Great topic, love the editing and the interview style going off on your own then coming back together. Really loving this new style of your videos - keep it up. Be great if you could touch on being in a mixed weight relationship in another video - thanks again
i must say that i was thin until i was 19. i often heard from my relatives "eat kid". i remember my mother telling me that she was in a mother child cure with me because i even didn't gain weight. i rather always had the problem that i was one of the bigger ones in the room. then i started my training as a geriatric nurse and was traumatized several times in the nursing home. i had nothing to balance my stress and the pressure on me. at some point i only had food. i was getting chubby and everyone around me noticed and had something to say. at that time i couldn't talk about what was going on. even had nutrition counseling or i knew some things about food from my cook training before that. now it's like i've tried so many things to lose weight but i struggle because the real reason in my head paralyzes me and holds me back. i would love to feel good but society makes it hard. have to say that my blood levels are still in the green range and i don't have any restrictions or pain. i don't want to hear that i'm brave when i wear a swimsuit. i want to be myself no matter what i look like and not hear i have to lose 30 kilos to be accepted.
I really love you so much 💗 I'm so happy to see your soul growing in such beautiful ways! So happy for you both 🥰
It supposed to jiggle and I love the way u all take a sensitive issue like weight and discuss it.
❤️ raven ❤️ miranda
Thank you both so much for this video. I’m going on my own journey now, and I’ve tried every diet out there…. But once I discovered & learned more about you’re journey and the method in which you both have taken, along with the education and clearly wonderful benefits of it all… I became inspired to try a Keto, and fasting lifestyle. It’s like something clicked for me & I’ve never in my life been more excited about my food choices & having the recognition that it is a lifestyle change.And I just want to say thank you both for your insight, you’re personal journey with weight & food, the education of it all, truly I thank you for sharing your experiences & opening my eyes to not only educate myself more, but to actually see eating in a completely different way, it really is something that makes me pause, look & think of the benefits of a healthy balanced lifestyle change differently. The way I went about all the diets through out my life, & how for me personally, never seeing real change, It was then I realized that, for me, it’s definitely a change in mentality. The food consumption along with the overall lifestyle, that makes it easier & less stressful about food & my body structure & just knowing that my body is my body, & taking care of it with a better understanding, makes my mind, body & soul happy.💫So THANK YOU BOTH! Without you’re education, i dont know if I’d ever see or do things differently. Forever great full 🤍
You guys are beautiful and strong and smart women that I look up to. I love your videos!
I always thought you looked gorgeous… You were that celebrity that I grew up with that had a body structure like mine.. I completely understand wanting to be healthy and comfortable in your own body. I commend you guys on speaking so personally on this subject. Great job guys. I can’t believe I’m just now getting to see these videos. I also want to say, it meant a lot when you came out as being gay. I just wish people would understand that it’s wrong for gay people to have to “come out”. People in heterosexual relationships don’t have to “come out” with who they date and love so why should we. You guys are Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤓
Thank you for sharing with all of us, I think you both are so amazing , I have had weight problems all my life and have done so much, my body doesn't like carbs I found out and I love them so much, I eat not because I am hungry but to eat, for every emotion.
I love that you two are opening up more about what the two of you have been thru with weight and food and I can't wait to hear more!❤ Raven you look amazing and I got a purple potatoe to try it, it was really good!
Girl I Loved N Liked you ever since you become famous on tv your beautiful no matter what I love the way you is bless you n your girlfriend and your guys family 💯🙏🦋👍🏽💋🌹❤️
This was such a great talk! I truly needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling with my weight but you are not alone I’m on this journey with you!!
Very good topic ladies. Definitely something I've struggled with my whole life as well. Thanks for introducing the Zero app I'll for sure be giving it a try. Wish you and everyone who struggles with food addiction success, self love and peace of mind. You're not alone. Against very informative video. Thanks
congratulations on your merchandise being two years old milly
Thank you both soooo much I grew up watching Raven and being able to relate to you because when we were growing up ppl just wanted you to be skinny the skinnier the better no matter how unhealthy you looked or felt ppl passing out and literally Not eating just to be skinny and I tried to starve myself a couple times and would barely made 24hrs 😂😂😂😂
❤️Love Dr. Fung!❤️
Great topic! I took some wonderful notes. I will be trying some of the tips you suggested with the keto diet. Raven you look fabulous…keep up the good work. My build is very similar to yours and much like you I have struggled with my weight fluctuations for a very long time. You have always been a very big inspiration for me, because your not afraid to be you! Thank you so much for this! Miranda your awesome too! You guys just work so well together I can see the love and friendship you both have for each other. Happy Pride month 🏳️🌈

Thank you for sharing as a little girl I was always told that's not good for you your gonna get fat as I grew older I had thst in the back of my head I would sleep est if something would bother me and had an ex who would look at every type of girl and forced me to go to the gym to change my look but deep down inside I would always comfort myself with food and always made jokes saying stressed spelled backwards is dessert I still now struggle with my weight issues still go through it with my ex husband he's always saying oh your going out with that so I dress in leggings I have a closet full of dresses and nice clothes but there's always thst voice in the back of my mind that makes me self conscious sorry for my poor writing but just want to say thanks again for discussing this issue I think us humas in general need to come together and support eachother
Raven you are so beautiful and inspiring
Yes indeed!
First of all, you look AMAZING! Keto Chow is one of my favorites too! Oh, and Chocolate Peanut Butter???? YUM! Thanks for this awesome video.
I have been low carb/keto for 4 years, have had a few off the rail moments, but I keep getting right back on that horse because of how I feel. Have recently started fasting as well and it does feel really good. I am considering doing Dr. Berry's BBBE that 2krazy ketos did for 44 days with great body recomposition results. This WOE has been a game changer for me as well, keto on ❤
Congratulations 2 both of u👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! That's a long hard road 2 get 2 when ur use 2 not knowing how 2 eat good! Proud or u guys! I'm 58 and I've always been heavy but healthy! Played sports, excercised. I'm a professional musician since 14yrs old. Traveling/touring. Etc... my mom would always pat me on my butt , legs when I passed by her and say: u should try and lose weight now, it gets a lot harder when ur older. But at the same time, still eating garbage. She cooked every day. But in between fast foods & sweets. In the house out the house. Lmao! 2003 I was up looking at tv 2-3 in the am. I'd keep junk in my draws. I don't know what came over me, but I got up and threw everything out! Stopped drinking soda, red meat. If I wanted something sweet, I ate it. I ate: salad, ground Turkey, fish chicken, veg. I didn't even realize how much&how fast the weight was falling off. People were like whoa! Wasn't until I was coming in from work, changed my clothes on my way back down the steps and my shorts fell. I almost killed myself. Lol..... I lost about 60 pounds. And the a few yrs later, stress ,depression got me. Never got back 2 weight I was, but 2 close 4 me! Now I'm soooooo stuck! My health is not good meaning most of my body is JACKED UP! Spinal stenosis, scoliosis, hip bursitis, deg. Arthritis knees,hip. Etc..... I stop w/that dont wanna depress nobody🤗 so w/ all of that I wish 2 b like u guys when I grow up. Lol... Looking 4 a good therapist also. Ready 2 get my quality of life back! Thank u 2 4 starting the channel. I know ur gonna help a lot of people! Much luv & peace 2 u♡
Great convo! You are looking fabulous and doing great with this lifestyle Raven-Symoné! Miranda truly loves you and cares for you - Dr. Jason Fung is such an incredible man and has helped so many people in the keto community, myself included. I can’t believe she tried to “buy” him for you 😂.
I just want to say thank you for connecting with me and expressing interest in trying my keto noodles and lasagna sheets. I apologize for taking longer than expected to get them to you, but I promise you, it will be worth the wait! I will try my best to get them to you soon.
Deep-fried green tea ice cream with extra chocolate…🤤 I want to ketofy that for you now! I’m sure there’s a way!!
Ann ❤️
Awesome vlog raven your awesome
I always failed at the keto diet... because there are so many fraudulent products out there with the label "keto friendly" on them that it almost seemed impossible to have a simple keto diet that would be sustainable. That is until I found the carnivore diet. Nine months in and I'm now in a daily state of therapeutic ketosis... I am no longer hypertensive, no longer pre-type 2 diabetic, no longer do I have IBS, no longer do I have GERD, no longer do I have sleep apnea, all of my neuropathy is gone, my psoriasis is gone and I've so far lost sixty pounds. Also, after a full metabolic blood workup, my cholesterol went down by 37 points while all my other markers are good. I'm 56 years old and I'm jogging and working out again for the first time in 17 years. Its my goal to age as slowly as possible and regain as much health and fitness as I can before its too late. Good work Raven... keep it up. If you ever feel that you're struggling... consider doing a year of an all animal product diet and see how fast you recover your health.
I appreciate this channel. This video was so educational. Before the covid lockdown I use to be like 104lbs now I'm 166lbs. I use to be able to eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound but now I'm getting older it's catching up to me. Guess I over did the eating during lockdown lol but I tried to go vegan a few times and it was so hard. Only because I was doing it completely wrong but I definitely wanna give the Keto a try. That Key lime pie you guys made looked delicious
Raven you are beautiful inside and out! 💕💙💜💕
Most of us get to make this journey in relative obscurity, i can't imagine the head trip of doing it while in show business or show business adjacent - brutal☹️. I'm glad you found the right path for you, i also follow Dr Fung so thought your video chat with him was way cool. This was a great video, thx for sharing.
Never miss a video from you guys💜love how you talk about this(and everything ) so naturally.Lets not forget the editing, amazing👍🏻
But the music on top is just distracting ,especially for me,English is not my first language.
And anyway,you guys talking are interesting enough😃👍🏻
I'm sorry that you even have to speak to the masses about your body like that. I'll never understand why it matters to ppl so much. As long as you're happy and healthy I don't care what your size is. You are loves regardless.
Love your videos
I use to always watch that's so raven when I was in high school you were so funny
The noodles are truly amazing!!!!!! I have been making them for a while now!!!! Cant wait to see them on your channel!!!
Beautiful lovely couple. I love watching your video
👏👏👏👏 great subject
Once I'm done crying, I'll come back and edit this comment. Thank you both
Ray you look good to me..knock off 30 or 50 more if you want but no more. Please don't take this the wrong way but you naturally have a larger frame, broader shoulders, wide hips, thick thighs, etc. It's not all about being skinny; you need to be healthy. Right now you look great. Do what makes you happy though, please don't get too thin..and if anyone has a problem with it they have two lips and I know where they can put them. Love and light my dear, take care.
i’m 13 and i think i have a food addiction based on what Raven just said. Looking back to when i got my teeth pulled i couldn’t eat certain stuff. and i started crying because i couldn’t eat pizza and everyone else was eating except for me because my mash potatoes was still cooking.
Yes! I long one!
im so proud of you your food have a merry christmas happy new year
Great conversation soo relatable❤️
This 😔❤️ thank you for describing everything I feel right now….
Like I want to open this bag of SunChips
Don’t know if I should do that now…
love this video ❤🥰😘
Remember that you always have to make it clear to your audience if anything you post is sponsored or an ad.
Thanks for this video. You most definitely look like you've lost a lot of inches along with your weight. You look fabulous! I've been doing keto for almost 6 years and I too am a huge fan of Keto Chow. I have a whole pantry of it. BTW. Have you tried making Keto Chow ice cream in a Ninja Creami? It's a HUGE game changer. You really need to get one. 😋😋😋
Yes!!! Keto Chow ice cream in the Creami is pretty amazing. ❤️
congratulations on ur merchandise being a month old
You look amazing!
Hi Raven and Miranda, I saw the video I am Italian and obviously like most people I follow a fairly balanced Mediterranean diet, preferring a lot of fruit and vegetables, whole carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and obviously in the right quantities also desserts and sweets. Following this style, I have never gained too much weight or lost weight, I am in the right weight. Seeing this video the message that comes out is "I solved my problem with food by removing carbohydrates and fasting" obviously you do it because maybe you have pathologies or something else I don't know but maybe it was better to specify why this diet you follow with fasts included it is not for everyone indeed it is harmful if not done well and many girls could take a cue instead of eating everything in a balanced way without fasting in case they have no health problems but their interest is only to be in better shape. I think it's nice that you shared your stories etc ... but the message that you remove carbohydrates is wrong or at least it should have been better explained why and to say not to imitate this diet if you do not have carbohydrate metabolization pathologies.
Raven, I don't care what size you are... You're so beautiful and dope period.💖💯
Raven looks beautiful ❤️❤️
I have a completely different experience with food and being raised in the south. For me, I have been naturally thin my entire life. And being raised in the south, I was always looked at as sickly and malnourished because I didn’t have a certain amount of thickness to my body. It’s interesting because in the south a lot of people are raised that being thick is being healthy and if you’re too thin that must mean you’re sickly. But in the industry that I was trying to be a part of as a professional dancer and an artist a TV host a creative etc., the thinner you are the healthier you are. So I’ve always had this dichotomy of what I am supposed to look like. Even to this day I still struggle with excepting being naturally thin and wanting to be thicker. And as a Transwoman there is a layer of body dysmorphia that plays into that and is only increased by that confusion
When you fast can you drink water?
Yes
Your gorgeous raven always have been🥹🫶🏾💋
Good video topic
This just goes to show how alone she felt. She stated she was the only one back then pushing for body positivity, but that’s not true. There were a lot of BBW like Monique who had to scream she is comfortable in her skin so ppl would stop shaming her in hood that she would crack and crawl under a rock. We need to do better…
You two are beautiful
❤️
🔥🔥🔥
Stay disciplined. And ain’t nothing wrong with lipo.
🤣🤣
Raven I greatly admire you I love the content that you and you're wife Miranda post.💜
We were born around the same time how did I think she was so much younger 😳🥺must be nice 🤣
It's not as simple as that other people can live with family members who love carbs and do the shopping
Lol how did u forget the title Miranda! 😂 that tickled
I have binge and anorexia nervosa and body dismorphia
