"Celebrity is in the eye of the beholder." LOL But on a serious note, if you ever have time to collab, it would be an honor. Maybe some "Southern" Indian Keto recipes? 😉 Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Why would anyone thumb this down? Anyone who is basically doing a public service by cooking and sampling recipes to give us valuable suggestions should never get a thumbs down. I love your videos and truly appreciate the time, energy, and money you invest in doing these videos. AND good on you for giving credit and traffic where it’s due. You are the real deal!
self-entitled people who don't have a diet/health problem and can't imagine why anyone else would need help. Or they do have a diet/health problem and aren't facing it.
You are simply adorable & your "rambling" is someone's bad mood not rambling at all. Your personality is as much why I watch as the great keto help you provide. You seem like family.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb re; your triggers! yikes! they are so real! I work In a food store deli and we share the bakery duties, so It is as real as it gets! from your mouth to gods ears! fight the good fight! i fell to a small container of bread pudding (without the honey on top!) it was my birthday and well, there was a BOGO going on!!
Sabrina... I agree 100% with your comments. I also really appreciate Wes's authenticity and frankness about his triggers. It takes such character and inner strength to show such vulnerability.
I am a border line Dietetic. Dr. has me on a low carb diet lost 43 pounds and I am tired of eating salads and I need something sweet once in a while . thank you for your hard work on this video. This old girl is happy.
Yes! THIS^^ I’m a new sub and have been binge watching these vids. Wesley’s personality is what keeps me watching. You can get low-carb/keto recipes anywhere. It’s an engaging personality that really converts clicks into subs. I wouldn’t have HfLC any other way😌👍👏
I really appreciate your humbleness and your compassionate attitude towards yourself, (and the rest of us) when it comes to our problem foods and habits. Keto is the closest I've come to feeling at peace with food. I have abused myself for years because of my perceived lack of control. I really didn't understand that I was being driven by the food itself. Thank all that's holy that I have finally come to the realization that I can be like normal people and not at constant war with myself. Your channel is a wonderful new approach to helping all of us on this journey. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and reminding us to be mindful of our choices and to be kind to ourselves when we don't always make the right ones. Live and Learn!
Nemodog While I am known for hyperbole and exaggeration, I’m honest in saying that your comment brings tears to my eyes. I can’t thank you enough for the kind words of validation and acceptance. The world can be a cruel place, TH-cam even more so. Thoughtful and kind comments like yours make all the hard work and haters worth it. Thank you. ❤️
Watching your facial expressions is soooo fun/funny! You are the best online keto food presenter ive ever seen. And reading the comments section tells me that you have a very appreciative audience. More power to you, Wesley!
Oh my goodness!! I laughed so hard about the Quees’s cake and then when you tasted it??? Shut. Up. Too funny!!! You have a brand new fan! I subscribed 😊
You are one of the only keto youtubers I trust to give an honest opinion. The things I have tried that you liked as well came out amazing I hate making/wasting stuff stuff only for it to come out like garbage.
Thank you, LeeMisha! I try to "keep it real" because so many people say "THIS IS WONDERFUL" when it clearly ain't. LOL The other side of that coin is it's difficult to give an honest opinion and not hurt the feelings of the person that worked hard to develop the recipe. I hope I ride the line on that and don't offend the creators. Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate the support! 💜🙌
I’m not even doing a low-carb or keto life but I just really love watching cooking shows. I’ll click for the recipe but I only stay and sub for enjoyable personalities, and Wesley is easily Top 3 for me. Love the talking and live for the rants 😁
Reminds me of my mom's favorite "Family Circus" cartoon. Dolly opens the box of donuts Dad just brought home and the caption is "Daddy, they only gave you 11 donuts"!😆
I have a feeling that you did not have to put any salt on the “fishy”🐟 queen‘s cake… However that was depressing to me because my favorite cake in the world is carrot cake… I will have to keep an eye out now that I know they make them in a mug cake… I would definitely get ahold of Lindt and have them refund your money or send you free chocolate for life… 😂. Love your channel This is about the third one I have seen, and I am now subscribed …. ❤️ can’t wait to watch your next one🥰
I totally understand triggers. Honestly, I'm either having sugar or not. It's always the extreme for me. I'm not one for having a block of chocolate and refrigerate the rest. I must have the entire bar. Therefore, I appreciate your honesty.
@@BubblyBibleGirl, “trigger” means it is something that sets you on an eating binge, in this type of situation, eating too much of what they love . . . SWEETS. Actually, Natasha explained it very well. She said she can’t just eat a bite of chocolate, put the rest in the fridge; it’s all or nothing.
I just began my journey and my family beg for sweets, so thank you for this! And for those who don’t like the “ramble” get over it! It seems everything pisses everyone off these days. Spread love people, not hate
Highfalutin' Low Carb I sure will hone! Can you do a Mac N Cheese showdown?? I have yet to find one single one my little girl likes!! It would be really interesting in what you can find
So that’s rambling?? Oh my gosh I love how you spend time talking to us.. I feel like I’m hanging with my brother making recipes.. please keep as they call it “rambling” because for me I call it communicating, sharing thoughts, giving tips.. ❤️
I done fell in Love with a White Boy!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You need to be on your own show,, Food Network, OWN,,, or some other Major Network. I Never,,,NEVER comment on post,,, but you Are So, so very Awesome, I had to let you know. I've binged watched you,,( like Ten episodes),,, and I can't get enough. You Are the Best Carb Food reviewer here on TH-cam and I'm So glad I found you. Don't change a thing,,, you got me Hooked, Cook!!! :)
I actually love when you talk during the video... on all parts because as a person that struggles daily.. I mean daily.... with staying on tract I need to hear all the tricks and tips used to help... your journey has been followed by my family for many years. Thank you for all your advice and content!
I love you dude!! You are so honest and so funny and so darn southern in the kitchen 😍 keep up the good work. Apparently we have some of the same triggers 😃
I love you Wes! Love listening to you, so talk away! I understand the struggle. Didn’t even try desserts when I started low carb. I was terrified that sweets would trigger me. I can do it now, but still, struggle. You share your strength with us and you make me feel like I’m talking with an old friend. So happy I found your channel. God bless you.
Don’t you worry about people who don’t want you to talk. We love it and you too. My wife said they were just anti-fun. Your insight and characterization is what makes your channel a hit. Keep on Talkin’.
Just discovered your videos! I love your personality that comes through, keep the "rambling"! You made me laugh with the missing chocolate and the carrot cake fiasco (the queen of England 😂) but really hit home with the struggle of triggers and cravings! After nearly 4 years of keto off and on I'm so tired of people that act like cravings are bull and you are weak. Thank you for being realistic!
I saw a recipe on reddit once (no idea whose recipe it is because I screen shot it) but it's 1 egg, 2tbsp cocoa powder, 2 tbsp sugar replacement, 1 tbsp of heavy cream/almond milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, microwave for 90 seconds and it's freaking delicious, I don't put the sweetener in it myself and it's still delicious.
AMayT1992 I have seen this one as well, and I might be wrong here, but that’s possibly the original Adkins mug cake recipe, and it is a good one - no flours of any kind, just the cocoa. I’ll have to go back and try that one again! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
Knowing that I could whip up a 90-second mug cake when I got home enabled me to drive right past DQ after an exhausting evening meeting. Wow! Just think of all the carbs that saved me! Thanks for the great info and for the 🤣🤣🤣
I love your videos, sometimes I make my favorite mug cake and let it cool then I mash it with some cream cheese(@2ounces) and some truvia, roll into balls like the Oreo truffles, let them set in the freezer for a bit , then I melt sugar free c. chips ( about a T.) with coconut oil (same about a T.)and dip them cutest little bonbons
It's okay to say. It's definitely ok to say! "A lot of people don't know what the hell they're talkin' about." Amen brother. Amen. I just can't get enough of your videos! You would be so much fun to hang out with.
Greater love hath no man than he would willingly do battle with his personal triggers, just for the sake of his friends! Oh Wes, I certainly can relate to your food issues! I've come to the place where I can't even bring trigger foods into the house, because they just seem to relentlessly call out to me...even if they're in the freezer...I still know they're there. But I seem to feel a sense of peace when they are all removed from the house; and don't look for them. Is that crazy? I'm not a psychologist, but over the years, I've come to the conclusion that, because I was raised in a volatile household, where the only happy times were connected with food; but were very short lived; I learned to eat quickly before the strife started up again. Fast forward to today: I still feel the need to eat EVERYTHING at once...and I have a very peaceful home now. Food has such a powerful hold over our minds and memories! But what a sweetheart you were to put yourself at risk, just for us. And please, please, always share your feelings...it helps us to know and love you more
"Food has such a powerful hold over our minds and memories!" That basically says it all, doesn't it? Your words of a volatile household making you cling to food rings true to me, but for a very different reason. I was blessed to grow up in a loving home that many would probably say resembled "Leave it to Beaver." So, instead of food being a safety blanket from chaotic surroundings, for me food was the method in which love and reward was shown. Got all A's on a report card? I'll make your favorite cake! Did a good job cutting the grass? Have a cupcake! Nervous about a piano recital or algebra test? Let's go get ice cream! It seemed a wonderful childhood - and was! - but in retrospect a little less food as praise might have been wise. Thanks as always for the great conversation and your loving words of support, Pamela. It makes all the work worth it to know you and others enjoy watching and "visiting" with me. xoxo
I just had a thought, Wes. Would it be possible to do a coffee chat sharing more thoughts regarding food/memories/behaviors? Just off the cuff...your own feelings?
It’s coming, I think. I want to share more, but you know how social media is. What makes one happy, enrages another. I’m feeling the love among my subscribers, though. I thought I’d do some sort of Q&A for my 10,000 subscriber celebration, but I assumed that would happen a year from now. Not NOW. LOL
I'm so glad that you came on the scene and I hope that your journey is going well. Social pressures are real. Especially when you do what you do. Your life is under a microscope and --at least-- I receive the benefits thereof. Thank you for doing what you do. Lots of love and support, Danyell
And thank YOU for stopping by to comment! Really makes all the hard work worth it to know folks enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jennifer! 💜😀
You are 100% my absolute favorite keto babe on TH-cam. Never stop rambling. If you weren’t married I would try to steal you away for myself! Lol. If you’re ever in Oregon I would love to do a collab and buy you a coffee.
I like the rambling, the rants, and the humor. Please don't cut that out. I loved this vid. I've tried other cakes, but I hand't tried any of the ones you reviewed today. Great job!
+Knittingmommy Haha! Thanks! No plans to change anything, but it’s always great to hear people enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️🙏
I just love this guy!! He had me laughing so hard about that flop on the carrot cake!! I mean THAT is the cake he did the most work to execute!! LOL 😂 Love his accent and overall personality. What a cutie!! Great video!!
Wes, I’ve been binge watching you....and lurking....and I absolutely adore everything about you! Please rant more often, PLEASE! This is by far in my top 5 low carb battle videos. Don’t stop, ever!
I couldn't agree with you more on abstaining from sweet treats like mug cakes and even some fat bombs within in the early stages of Ketosis. The sweet taste is a trigger for a lot of us who are sugar addicts and it often leads to binge eating. Thanks for talking about this, more people need to be aware that this can happen so they don't fail on their lifestyle change. Oh, and I love it when you talk to us and ramble on, I watch your videos for your personality as much as the recipes you test and share. Keep being you!
+Dawn Patterson Thanks, Dawn. I appreciate the support. Food triggers aren’t the most fun topic ever, but they sure are real. Thanks for commenting and sharing. ❤️🙏
I never ever comment on TH-cam videos but you are too adorable! I think it is so brave of you to share your trigger with us. I think you are one of the rare ones that is honest and not all rainbows and sunshine!
OMG... you CRACK ME UP!!!!! And you DO NOT ramble. So happy I found your channel... it's a fave! Thank you for doing all this work. You never steer me wrong!
LOVE your super funny personality (including the rambling) & all the GR8 info in your videos. Makes my day when I get notified you have a new one to watch. Thanks Wesley!
I’m hope people are saying all positive things!!! When you said people don’t like it when you talk before cooking…,they can go away! Your positive energy and personality is why people love you! You do you 😊
I agree with everyone--you are very real and I appreciate that, especially in keto cooking i think you represent about 90% of all of us--it's not about being "perfect" it's about being real and enjoying what you do keep at it! i literally have been watching your videos back to back for days wondering where have you been all these years lol
I know this is old, but I just have to add. The cake's rising ability is not dependent on the diameter of the mug. It's dependent on the rising ingredients (eggs, vinegar, baking powder etc) making a chemical reaction. I'm glad I found your channel today!! Enjoying the videos very much
Wesley, you are authentic and honest. Never let anyone put your light out. Always be you! This is what we keep coming back for. I've attempted a few diet plans and they were always miserable. Keto is the opposite of that, and you help to make my journey that much more enjoyable. Sending you love from London, UK.
I use a lot of flax seed! ALWAYS buy it whole because it always goes rancid quickly. I buy it whole and keep it in the freezer. I grind it either in my nut/seed/coffee grinder or my high speed blender (vitamix or blendtech). And any leftovers I always keep frozen. I have never had it go rancid in the freezer! The golden flaxseed is a slightly less strong flavor but has to be kept frozen, as well. Someday I'll make a mug cake, when I can trust myself which might be never(:
Like your style ....when I saw the ingredients for carrot I thought no way....but that's real life and some people may like it so thanks for taking the time to prep it all ahead of time....when a recipe calls for cilantro I wish there was a sub for it....cuz you either love it or hate it...I think it tastes real bad....do you have any ideas on that??
Anybody who complains that you ramble? Tell them to make their own damn videos! I make videos they're more like video journals for me and I know how hard it is to look at a camera and try to talk while your mind is racing a thousand miles an hour I don't use a script I'm off the cuff so ramble on my friend
I’ve subscribed because I think your talk and authentic personality made this video not only fun but also honest. Hi from the UK. Keep talking, you’re doing great!
OMG! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I was having a crap feels day, dunno why, but I got to your epic rant "Unless this thing tastes like gold in a bowl, the Queen of England would have to be coming here to eat before I would do this shit again". I lost it, I had to pause to laugh for a good 5 minutes straight. You have made a big impact on my day today for the better so thank you.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb You're very welcome. Many times, instead of people investing their two cents to make a rude comment, they should take their two cents to a store and invest in a piece of bubble gum..lol
Wesley I LOVE your animation! Thank you for this work! I'll make the chocolate one. Hope I can get a Lindt chocolate bar that is full when I buy it :-)
This was helpful and relatable. I appreciate the shared experience of trying a recipe you have high hopes for, only to take a bite and be bittery disappointed. Anyone doing keto for long has that experience. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!
That’s ok to say! And, I agree with you...there are a lot of ‘Keto-friendly’ recipes out there that definitely can trigger the brain into a sweetness riot.
Thank you for keeping it real-no stuffed shirts here lol. I can relate to you on so many levels. God bless you and keep on keepin on. You're a joy to watch.
I jus found you today and have been binge watching you. I fudgin love you and I love you rambling cause it’s part of you personality and your hilarious
I literally busted out laughing at you when your eyes just lit completely up when you were talking about "those little pieces of chocolate in there". Hahaha, you are just so entertaining to watch!
I love your videos. I love it when you talk to the camera ☺️ and I love it when you talk about your struggles because we allllllll have them!!! Thanks for being vulnerable!!!!
Nice video!! Cheers from India!
Wow, thanks! It's not often that I get TH-cam celebrities over in my comments. I'm a big fan - your recipes and channel are fantastic! 🤘

Oh Wesley, when you spoke about us all eating for many reasons I wanted to give you a hug.
Absolutely okay!!
Everyone likes to eat. Not everyone is affected by it. Those bastards. Haha Absolutely ok to say always.
That hit me to my core. I feel that.
I like crunch, and unguenous taste textures on occasion.
If all steamed, roasted, or pan fried I am not happy.

I think you are right about the 2 week waiting period. I’d encourage a month or three. Sweets can be such a trigger for us all.
Absolutely! It really does take months for the taste buds, hormones, and brain to adapt to this new way of eating.

I love how real you are. Thank you for being vulnerable because sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who has those same struggles.
I love your videos, sometimes I make my favorite mug cake and let it cool then I mash it with some cream cheese(@2ounces) and some truvia, roll into balls like the Oreo truffles, let them set in the freezer for a bit , then I melt sugar free c. chips ( about a T.) with coconut oil (same about a T.)and dip them cutest little bonbons
Tami Howse OMGOMGOMGOMG! Gee thanks, Tami. Now I gotta go make some more mug cakes!!! 😜
What a BRILLIANT idea, Tami! Thanks for sharing : )
Wow! Awesome idea😃
what are oreo truffles?
CAKE FAT BOMBS! Brilliant!
Use a coffe grinder to grind up the flax seed - takes about 30 seconds. 😎
Yeah, but it still tastes bad. Lol.
I use flax seeds to make flax "eggs." Can't taste it at all!
Wow! The way your head snapped up when you tasted the red velvet.. 🎂
I know, I need to try that one.
The carrot cake review had me weak. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's okay to say. It's definitely ok to say!
"A lot of people don't know what the hell they're talkin' about." Amen brother. Amen.
I just can't get enough of your videos! You would be so much fun to hang out with.
Greater love hath no man than he would willingly do battle with his personal triggers, just for the sake of his friends! Oh Wes, I certainly can relate to your food issues! I've come to the place where I can't even bring trigger foods into the house, because they just seem to relentlessly call out to me...even if they're in the freezer...I still know they're there. But I seem to feel a sense of peace when they are all removed from the house; and don't look for them. Is that crazy? I'm not a psychologist, but over the years, I've come to the conclusion that, because I was raised in a volatile household, where the only happy times were connected with food; but were very short lived; I learned to eat quickly before the strife started up again. Fast forward to today: I still feel the need to eat EVERYTHING at once...and I have a very peaceful home now. Food has such a powerful hold over our minds and memories! But what a sweetheart you were to put yourself at risk, just for us. And please, please, always share your feelings...it helps us to know and love you more
"Food has such a powerful hold over our minds and memories!" That basically says it all, doesn't it?
Your words of a volatile household making you cling to food rings true to me, but for a very different reason. I was blessed to grow up in a loving home that many would probably say resembled "Leave it to Beaver." So, instead of food being a safety blanket from chaotic surroundings, for me food was the method in which love and reward was shown. Got all A's on a report card? I'll make your favorite cake! Did a good job cutting the grass? Have a cupcake! Nervous about a piano recital or algebra test? Let's go get ice cream! It seemed a wonderful childhood - and was! - but in retrospect a little less food as praise might have been wise.
Thanks as always for the great conversation and your loving words of support, Pamela. It makes all the work worth it to know you and others enjoy watching and "visiting" with me. xoxo
I just had a thought, Wes. Would it be possible to do a coffee chat sharing more thoughts regarding food/memories/behaviors? Just off the cuff...your own feelings?
It’s coming, I think. I want to share more, but you know how social media is. What makes one happy, enrages another. I’m feeling the love among my subscribers, though. I thought I’d do some sort of Q&A for my 10,000 subscriber celebration, but I assumed that would happen a year from now. Not NOW. LOL
At this rate, it will be next week, lol!
omg i can relate so much, i need to never buy sweets to avoid them
Lol dude busted out with some real shit in the middle of the cooking show
R0JIBLANC0 😂😂😜😜
Dude I feel your struggles in my soul. Please have this virtual hug.
I'm so glad that you came on the scene and I hope that your journey is going well. Social pressures are real. Especially when you do what you do. Your life is under a microscope and --at least-- I receive the benefits thereof. Thank you for doing what you do. Lots of love and support, Danyell
Thank you for putting yourself thru temptation to help us all! You crack me up! I love how fun you make it and real & true you are.
And thank YOU for stopping by to comment! Really makes all the hard work worth it to know folks enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jennifer! 💜😀
I like your humor & rambling! You make me laugh out loud which doesn't happen very often. Keep up the good work....we're loving it! 😉
Ha! Thanks, ArrynBlue! Glad I can offer a few laughs! 💜
You are 100% my absolute favorite keto babe on TH-cam. Never stop rambling. If you weren’t married I would try to steal you away for myself! Lol. If you’re ever in Oregon I would love to do a collab and buy you a coffee.
+Thrifty Crystal LOL Thanks, Crystal! Just subscribed to your channel! Thank you for the love and support! ❤️🙏
You are so loved by all your fans. Please don't ever change.
😂😂😂 OMG! I'm late to the party but your reaction to the carrot mug cake was hilarious!!!
Gosh! The face you made when you tasted the carrot cake. Lmao.
😳😦
Highfalutin' Low Carb I thought you were going to vomit right on camera 😂😂😳😱
+Life Unboxed LOL! And it looked like I spit it out in the kitchen towel, but I didn’t. I just couldn’t get it to go down when I swallowed. 😜😜
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback on my red velvet mug cake!❤️
I like the rambling, the rants, and the humor. Please don't cut that out. I loved this vid. I've tried other cakes, but I hand't tried any of the ones you reviewed today. Great job!
+Knittingmommy Haha! Thanks! No plans to change anything, but it’s always great to hear people enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️🙏
I love your expressions and humorous comments! It's a bonus on top of the food commentary. You also have a better vocabulary than many people on YT.
i love it when you ramble! i can watch you cook all day.YOU MAKE VIDEOS LOOK SO EASY TO DO GREAT JOB . a big hello from Kansas
Your rambling created a new fan here 😋
Haha! Thanks, Rebecca! Welcome aboard!!
LOVE your whimsical manner and fun presentations! Keep it up! It brightens my day and I know it does others, too!❤🤗🥰👏
The struggle IS real and you are not alone! Keep up the great work, you're as fun to watch as you are informative.😊
jpeachy 4u That means the world to hear, jpeachy. Thanks for the vote of confidence! ❤️🙏
I just love this guy!! He had me laughing so hard about that flop on the carrot cake!! I mean THAT is the cake he did the most work to execute!! LOL 😂 Love his accent and overall personality. What a cutie!! Great video!!
Wes, I’ve been binge watching you....and lurking....and I absolutely adore everything about you!
Please rant more often, PLEASE!
This is by far in my top 5 low carb battle videos.
Don’t stop, ever!
I couldn't agree with you more on abstaining from sweet treats like mug cakes and even some fat bombs within in the early stages of Ketosis. The sweet taste is a trigger for a lot of us who are sugar addicts and it often leads to binge eating. Thanks for talking about this, more people need to be aware that this can happen so they don't fail on their lifestyle change. Oh, and I love it when you talk to us and ramble on, I watch your videos for your personality as much as the recipes you test and share. Keep being you!
+Dawn Patterson Thanks, Dawn. I appreciate the support. Food triggers aren’t the most fun topic ever, but they sure are real. Thanks for commenting and sharing. ❤️🙏
I am cryingggg lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 this was the funniest review ever. Love uuuuu
I love your honestly about your struggles! I'm sure a lot of us can relate, and it's so nice to not feel alone
I never ever comment on TH-cam videos but you are too adorable! I think it is so brave of you to share your trigger with us. I think you are one of the rare ones that is honest and not all rainbows and sunshine!
OMG... you CRACK ME UP!!!!! And you DO NOT ramble. So happy I found your channel... it's a fave! Thank you for doing all this work. You never steer me wrong!
I've put a square (used the Trader Joe's low carb bar), right in the center, and yes...molten lava..
Thank you!you are so fun to watch🤗
Kim Hoover Haha! Thanks, Kim! ❤️🙏
Kim Hoover He so is!
LOVE your super funny personality (including the rambling) & all the GR8 info in your videos. Makes my day when I get notified you have a new one to watch. Thanks Wesley!
Ha! Well, thanks, Jodi! I really appreciate the support and kind words. Stay tuned! 💜
I’m hope people are saying all positive things!!! When you said people don’t like it when you talk before cooking…,they can go away! Your positive energy and personality is why people love you! You do you 😊
Thank you so very much for your so honest videos! You make our lives so much easier!
" I don't mean to be disparaging" LOL!!! (I can't!)
Omg...love your videos. The Rant had me Rotfl. But seriously i like how detailed you are. Thanks👍
I agree with everyone--you are very real and I appreciate that, especially in keto cooking
i think you represent about 90% of all of us--it's not about being "perfect" it's about being real and enjoying what you do
keep at it!
i literally have been watching your videos back to back for days wondering where have you been all these years lol
I know this is old, but I just have to add. The cake's rising ability is not dependent on the diameter of the mug. It's dependent on the rising ingredients (eggs, vinegar, baking powder etc) making a chemical reaction.
I'm glad I found your channel today!! Enjoying the videos very much
I love your honesty. I subbed and so glad I did. You are amazing!
Thank you so much! Thanks for commenting and subscribing - welcome aboard! ❤️👍
I LOVE when you just look at the camera and ramble... ❤️❤️
Thank you for caring about the user experience (watcher experience?) of your videos - as in, nice touch with the auto-focus countdown. 👏
Wesley, you are authentic and honest. Never let anyone put your light out. Always be you! This is what we keep coming back for.
I've attempted a few diet plans and they were always miserable. Keto is the opposite of that, and you help to make my journey that much more enjoyable.
Sending you love from London, UK.
I use a nutribullet to ground my seeds. Using the milling blade. Works beautifully.
I use a lot of flax seed! ALWAYS buy it whole because it always goes rancid quickly. I buy it whole and keep it in the freezer. I grind it either in my nut/seed/coffee grinder or my high speed blender (vitamix or blendtech). And any leftovers I always keep frozen. I have never had it go rancid in the freezer! The golden flaxseed is a slightly less strong flavor but has to be kept frozen, as well. Someday I'll make a mug cake, when I can trust myself which might be never(:
This was so informative and funny. You are such a natural!!!!
Val's life Health Journey Thank you, Val! I appreciate the support!! ❤️🙏
Like your style ....when I saw the ingredients for carrot I thought no way....but that's real life and some people may like it so thanks for taking the time to prep it all ahead of time....when a recipe calls for cilantro I wish there was a sub for it....cuz you either love it or hate it...I think it tastes real bad....do you have any ideas on that??
Anybody who complains that you ramble? Tell them to make their own damn videos! I make videos they're more like video journals for me and I know how hard it is to look at a camera and try to talk while your mind is racing a thousand miles an hour I don't use a script I'm off the cuff so ramble on my friend
🤣😂
I’ve subscribed because I think your talk and authentic personality made this video not only fun but also honest. Hi from the UK. Keep talking, you’re doing great!
Yes Wesley, It is okay to say. Thanks for all you do.
OMG! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I was having a crap feels day, dunno why, but I got to your epic rant "Unless this thing tastes like gold in a bowl, the Queen of England would have to be coming here to eat before I would do this shit again". I lost it, I had to pause to laugh for a good 5 minutes straight. You have made a big impact on my day today for the better so thank you.
Lmao I forgot I was at work when you tested the carrot cake 😂😂😂
I love how down to earth you are about food! Stumbled upon your channel just today.
Welcome aboard! 🙂
I love your rambling. You make my day. More importantly you save me so much time and energy finding a delicious recipe.
I don't care how long you take! I LOVE your videos, your voice, and especially your humor!!
Thank you! It helps to hear some positivity! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️❤️
@@HighfalutinLowCarb You're very welcome. Many times, instead of people investing their two cents to make a rude comment, they should take their two cents to a store and invest in a piece of bubble gum..lol
I love this video! You had me laughing with your rant🤣 I just discovered you & can hardly wait to watch your other videos. Thanks for what you do!
Wesley I LOVE your animation! Thank you for this work! I'll make the chocolate one. Hope I can get a Lindt chocolate bar that is full when I buy it :-)
Ah, I always make regular carrot cake with "carrot baby food".
Wow, interesting. What a great idea. Might have to keep a few jars on hand.
This was helpful and relatable. I appreciate the shared experience of trying a recipe you have high hopes for, only to take a bite and be bittery disappointed. Anyone doing keto for long has that experience. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!
I really appreciate your sense of humor! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and the hard work that goes into them! Cheers from Colorado!
That’s ok to say! And, I agree with you...there are a lot of ‘Keto-friendly’ recipes out there that definitely can trigger the brain into a sweetness riot.
Thank you for keeping it real-no stuffed shirts here lol. I can relate to you on so many levels. God bless you and keep on keepin on. You're a joy to watch.
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard. More to come, so stay tuned!
I jus found you today and have been binge watching you. I fudgin love you and I love you rambling cause it’s part of you personality and your hilarious
Thank you, Sheree! I appreciate the support! Welcome aboard! ❤️👍
I literally busted out laughing at you when your eyes just lit completely up when you were talking about "those little pieces of chocolate in there". Hahaha, you are just so entertaining to watch!
I love your videos. I love it when you talk to the camera ☺️ and I love it when you talk about your struggles because we allllllll have them!!! Thanks for being vulnerable!!!!
