Oh my word!! Theo and Felix are SOOO grown!!!!! Theo's practically a teenager! And Felix speeding around the house! It's so great to see all of you and especially to hear you, Megha, are healing from all the horrific health issues you've suffered. I feel for you!
Awe it was nice to see you all again! The boys are beautiful. Children definitely change your life, it truly is survival mode. I hope you keep getting stronger Megan. Happy New year!
So glad to hear from you again! Saw this headline on NPR that you can appreciate: “Marie Kondo said she's ‘kind of given up’ on being so tidy and is focused on spending time with her kids. The internet freaked out - but other parents are feeling seen.”
Watched you guys for so long it feels like I've grown up with you. You two are great parents and providers to your families, the fact you can still put out a video at all is awesome. Still love seeing how your lives are going even if it takes a couple months. I don't even watch this for Keto advice anymore, just to see you guys. Cheers!
Hey you guys, I’m a lost cousin. Lol found you guys in 2019 to start my journey lost a ton of weight fell off during covid gained a ton of weight. Now I’m back to finish what I started. The boys are so freaking cute 🥰 it’s crazy how much children change you as a person. I’m praying for your family. Thank you for all your love and support.
I'm so delighted to hear you are feeling better and are on the road to complete a restoration IJN. 🙏❤Continue doing whatever you feel you need for yourself, your family, and your emotional and spiritual well-being. Regardless of what you guys are eating, we'll still be watching. You've provided so much value for so many people over the years. Matt, well done on being a covering and source of strength for your wife and children. God Bless! I can't believe how big the boys have gotten ❤💙
It's really cool you guys were honest about how you fell off and just eat what is available. Not many people admit that. Hope the new year treats you well and we see you more often!
I drank a lot of fruit juice and that's how my TII diabetes was started. NOT GOOD if you ask me. Lots of pulp would be best, but I don't think it's a good idea.
So Happy to see you guys again.. you were definitely Missed... im so glad Megan is doing better. Felix is very close to Matt... Theo is adorable and growing up so fast. LOVE YOU GUYS
Wow - the changes are huge here as I haven’t check-in in about two years. Megha just had Felix and I had quit keto during our pandemic shutdown for carbs galore. Coming back now for some keto inspiration and finding beautiful Megha recovering from being very sick, Matt’s on some Peat kick and the kids are blooming so wonderfully. But so good to see that you all are doing well!💕
Yea, you're back! I've missed you guys so much. Megha, I am so happy you are starting to heal and feel better. Your boys have grown so much. I remember how crazy life gets with two small children. It's fun, but it's also a constant state of tired.
Yes, its a very difficult season of life. But it will get easier. Im 60 and remember it well. Couldnt wait for them to be school aged, then decided to homeschool. It was worth every minute of it. Any sacrifice you make for your boys will be worth it. 👍
I did keto for a year... lost a ton of weight and got off all my meds. Stopped for a month and ate like crap and paid for it with 20lb weight gain... back to it and on the road to where I was.
More like 6 years +. I will have been on keto for 5 years, come the end of this month and I'm pretty sure you were at least a year ahead of me, maybe more. I couldn't have survived the first six months of keto if it weren't for you, your YT channel, and your website. I still make many of your recipes -- both from your channel and your cookbook -- that have become some of my favorites. I was so sad to hear that you have had a rough road of it, Megha. I'm really glad the worst is past and you're starting to feel like yourself again. The boys are adorable, btw. I love listening to Theo talk! Whereas I got sick 2-3 times every year (before keto), I haven't been sick once since I started, not even a 24 hour sore throat, nothing! I attribute that to keto. It's the only thing I've changed, but of course, it changes everything. I look forward to hearing how you do on this new eating plan, Matt. I will also look for the books you recommended. I'm glad you're doing that.
So glad you guys have come through the fire ! I am sure it was the hardest time for you both! Chronic illness impacts the entire family ….hope this is the start of a new and healthy year!
was thinking about getting back into keto/ low carb and of course came back to your channel right away. been a few years but your kids are getting so big. i love it.
I started watching you guys back when you were still in Philly, you were what inspired me to start keto. I did fantastic for a long time and watched you and the savages regularly. Then about the time I started deeper state keto both your channels really started pushing a mentality that if “you really want it you make time for it” and having kids and work and life struggles was just an excuse to not eat healthy and hit the gym every day. I loved watching you guys and knew that as young couples you would one day find out how that’s not really true. But it was still really difficult to hear and I had to stop watching both channels. I’m glad to see your on the other side of things now, your family is amazing and you both deserve all the health and happiness in the world.
Good seeing you back. When this video popped up in my feed I was so delighted. Happy Megan is recovering. It just takes time. The kids are adorable. Missed you all.
So happy that you are feeling so much better! I was really sick and mostly bed bound for a few years and it led to depression because I felt like a burden and I couldn’t be there for my kids like I wanted to be. Now that I am better I am making up for lost time but so grateful for my health and my 4 boys 🤍
Thnx for sharing so much of your life with the world. Glad Megah is healing. The best way to know if you’ve overdone carbs is to gauge how crabby you feel 2-3 days later. Of course the more carbs you consume the more cardio output you need to put in. But insulin spikes alone will tell you if you’ve over done it, cause you will get more crangry, then usual…. At least that’s how i gauge it. Grains tear me up the most: body aches, depressed mood etc. Life is not static bro. Forgive yourself always. It’s ok to binge on carbs once in a while, sometimes for energy sometimes for comfort. What is the least detrimental carb? For me its fruit or dairy items. -Best wishes
So happy to see your update! I have had PF off and on for years….one time in both feet at the same time. The only thing that worked permanently (so far) for me was getting custom inserts for both feet from my foot/ankle doctor. He said I had let it get so bad that it would take about 90 days to heal. It took that much time! Glad Megha is feeling better! Look forward to your future updates.
I'm so happy to see that Megha is doing better! I have really missed you guys! The boys are so wonderful! I always love seeing them! Best of luck in the new year! I am always happy to see book recommendations from Matt.
Nice to see your video and to see how you are all doing. I'm so happy Megha is feeling better and turning a health corner. The kids are adorable, and, as you note they change your entire world. Clearly everyone is thriving. Wishing you all the best in 2023!!
I've tried the Ray Peet approach via Kate Deering method. For me, an "abstainer" it didn't work. My cravings became out of control. So now I'm back on carnivore, although using coconut products in order to eliminate dairy due to allergies. Looking forward to see how Peet's method works for you.
Welcome back friends. Happy New Year. Megha continued prayers for your healing and improving health. Matt!!! Dad of the year! You’ve done amazingly taking the family reins and talking care of your beautiful boys and wife. Speaking of the boys…Wowzers! So handsome and so grown up already. Like where does the time go? I hope that 2023 has great positive things in store for the two of you. We will be right here anxiously waiting for what’s next! Lol…no pressure. Truly greatful and happy to see you again. Sending positivity and best wishes out to you both and your littles. ❤
Thank you so much for the update! I appreciate your honesty and how much you continue to share with us. I've followed you guys for years and have missed you guys tons the past year. Even when I'm not doing keto I still love following you guys, so I could care less if you guys fall off the wagon or feel the need to switch things up from strict keto. I love your lifestyle updates just as much as the keto recipes, so I look forward to seeing where your new diet modifications take you in future videos! Also I love the book recommendations so keep them up! 😊
You are not alone! We had twins almost 2 years ago and we fell way off our keto diet and can't get anything done lol. We are working on getting back on our diet this year, been visiting your website alot more! I'm excited!
I so remember those days with little kids. Such a blessing but brutal. Youngest is now 9 and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve loved them so much at every age. Hang in there!
I used to watch you two (it was just the two of you way back then) and I loved hearing about your keto journey. I decided to pop back in this morning and see how things were going and I’m so delighted to see that you have two beautiful, healthy boys and it looks like your lives are all very rich and full and I’m so happy for all of you!
So glad your health scare improved! I got into keto a few years ago and your channel is where I got a majority of my information and inspiration to make the change. I lost about 30lbs at the time. Then stopped it around the holidays and never went back. I decided to get back into now and knew I had to get connected to your pages again. Lots of changes since I followed your page and websites. Happy for you all and the kids. Do you all still promote eating keto? Are you going to keep Keto Connect going? You guys are awesome!
I had significant health issues after having both of my boys (due to a chronic condition), and agree that I feel like I lost time during those precious days. I have to reframe the way I think about that into something more positive, or it's an endless cycle of "why me" or "what if". I'm SO glad you are finally on the other side of that horrible time.
Wow sorry Meg has been sick! Speed healing sweet lady! Love that your husband has helped with the kids so much. Glad to see a new lifestyle/diet. Keto becomes so obsessive for a lot and it really is so restrictive.
Love it! I love the transparency! I get it! The struggle of parenting! 😂 Cutest boys ever!! ❤ So glad you are felling better! Love seeing ya’ll continue to fight for your goals, and personal growth.
I really missed your videos, and I am so glad to hear Megha is doing better! Coincidently, I also dabbled into a higher carb diet last year, with whole foods, and although it was surely tasty I had to let go of it as I started feeling brain-foggy and just more inflammed. Now I carb cycle according to my menstrual cycle, and I feel like it is working :)
@@Menschymain I basically follow the menstrual cycle suggestions by Dr. Mindy Pelz and apply the hacks created by Glucose Goddess :) This way I assure that I am in ketosis at lest SOMEtimes...
So glad you are doing better Megan. Healing for you and family is the #1 thing to focus on. Matt you seem to be a great Dad for your little precious boys. God bless your family!
Maaaaaaaaaaan, I felt Matt to my core. Havin g kids is h.a.r.d! ...but worth it. Still, hard. Glad Megha is finally better. What a rollercoaster having health issues presents. Theo is so cute! His little voice melted my heart. Felix just looks so happy. Many blessings that 2023 more than makes up for the lost time. May it be THAT GREAT!
So glad to see you guys back! Megha I can totally relate to you. I was extremely ill in my twenties and had many uti's with high fever and just plain bladder pain and it got worse from there. I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease which is a rare autoimmune. I remember what it was like being so sick and having 2 kids. Diet is the last thing on your mind. Just trying to keep yourself healthy so you cam be present with your family takes over. I'm so glad to hear your doing better and wish you a healthy, happy 2023.
This video LITERALLY made my day! Because of my Keto journey, you both were definitely an inspiration! And because of this, I think of you often! Good to see that all of you are doing much better. And more importantly, living your best life! No matter what food choices ya'll are making, I'm here for it! Prayers for continued recovery and super great health! ❤
I used to have really bad planters fasciiitas wich is inflamation .I could barely walk for the first hour I was awake in the morning and was in crippling pain all day! I started keto diet for other reasons and the planters fasciitas went completely away along with many autoimmune problems I had Whenever I fall off the keto wagon the pain in my feet comes back. Maybe going back keto or low carb or figure out whats causing the inflammation. Its not worth the pain for me to eat inflammatory foods.I wish I could but I cannot! I hope you feel better!
I am really glad that Megha is feeling better and I hope that she continues to heal. I have a chronically ill family member and I know how painful it is for them to miss out on life. However, they have made nutrition a huge priority and I believe it’s been key in helping them heal. I do think that strict keto with no processed keto crap or carnivore/ketovore would help Megha a lot with her interstitial cystitis and managing flare ups. Matt seriously always seems to low key be hating life as a dad, lol. Ray Peat diet sounds kinda bananas, but who knows, he might thrive.
So glad to have you back guys😀I have tried Ray approach while back and I have to say that sadly it did not work for me. I was hungry,tired all the time ,my blood sugar was all over and I have gained 10 kg in space of 3 months. Having said that everyone is different so hopefully it will work for you.🥰
Megha, so happy to hear that you are feeling better. I've thought of you so much in 2022, now just catching up with the changes in your family and channel. Blessings to you all!!
I missed you guys so much my gosh the boys are so big and adorable. I am glad you are doing better Megha I have a chronic illness diagnosed at 20 and I'm 51 now it has been a long hard road those who aren't chronically ill really have no grasp how many challenges we have physically mentally emotionally I fought everyday to do as much as I could when my boys were younger they are in their 20s now and help care for me as I am on oxygen and use a wheelchair. I carried guilt anger and sadness when I was younger about the cards I was dealt and the chronic pain was so debilitating. Once I really decided to face it head on and kind of mourned the disease free life I was never going to have and embrace each days new normal with a champion spirit that was really the turning point for me in mentally freeing myself and my focus on living it the very best I was able each day. Wishing you guys all the very best looking forward to seeing more of you 💓
Can't wait to hear your update. The juice would put me over the edge. Keto is what I will always go back to (because I do feel best on keto), but sometimes I get the urge to experiment. Glad you are starting to feel better, Megan. Love the book recs. I have read Station 11, but just added the second two to my list.
I've been watching for a video update. I have been with you guys from early on. It breaks my heart for you and the challenges your beautiful family have faced. I get it. 2022 was the hardest in my life so far. Here is to a better and healthier 2023 for us all :)
Changing up the eating is normal. Most of us use keto cyclically, I've been doing it on and off for 40 years, having started with Atkins. Problem is the gaining of weight when not on keto and yes life and kids do get in the way. Let's face it, there are times the body craves tropical fruits, ice cream etc. My kryptonite is ice cream when I'm not on keto. Now I'm nearly 70, fighting the inflammation created when not on keto, not to mention the excessive weight gain during the last 3 years. I've decided that keto has to be a way of life for me with the odd higher carb day to shake things up. Wish you all the best on your family and dieting journey.
I'm glad you guys are okay. Perhaps the reason why you can't find anything about his diet is because it's the throw everything and see what sticks approach. I'm seen no seed oil and no grain on both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg's channels. Seriously, orange juice is nothing but sugar. Eat the damn fruit if you must.
OMG!!! Your boys have really been growing and are SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!! (Although it's clear they're keeping you both on your toes! I'm sure you're both pretty exhausted!) It's great to see you all and get updates!
As a type2 insulin dependent diabetic, keto saved my life! Lost weight, a1c 5.1, lots of energy...then after 3 years, I fell off my program...a1c 6.6... weight gain and fatigue... Heading back to what worked...keto!
We love you guys soooo much.. The kids have really grown, this is beautiful, you're both wonderful parents. So sorry Megha to hear about the health issues you had going on and genuinely happy to hear that you're starting to go out etc. You're a strong person, keeping in mind that your little munchkins are still under 5 years, that's really incredible! You and Mat make the dream team!!💯🙌🦾💐🌸 Look, Keto diet or not, I'm staying Keto Connected to this channel :D 💜💜💞💯 Compliments to the New Year..xx
Wow! Congrats on Felix! Haven't seen you all in a while since I stopped Keto. You all look awesome. My fav part of this was (paraphrasing) "Yea I'm doing this new diet by this guy called Ray Peat...he's dead now." lololol
Also, so glad to hear that Meg you are feeling well again. I was watching some of those older videos of you when you were sick and I felt so terrible for you. There’s nothing like good health!
Keep us updated. I understand the pain of PF in the feet. I committed to carnivore for 1 month and within 2 weeks my foot was 95% better. No joke. Still have minimal rare flare up. I’m ketovore. That’s also when I learned about lectins.
Good to see you all are doing better health wise. Also thanks for the honesty. With that being said I appreciate all the recipes and advice, you have given over these years with the keto lifestyle, but with the new direction of the channel I will be saying goodbye. Thanks again!
Happy New Year!!!! So happy to see your beautiful family!!! Megha I'm thrilled that you are healing. I too belong to the IC club. Children do change you and the household dynamics for sure. Started with you in2017 you taught me so much about food and health. Will always be here because you are an honest, funny, authentic family who I have loved since Philly. Matt I would love to hear about the classics you're reading. I too have read the Catcher a few times. My #1classic is The Grapes of Wrath. I've read that at least 5 times or every few decades. The boys are absolutely gorgeous!!! Continued blessings.🙏🏽💖💯
Thank you so much for the update. I am glad that Megha is farther down the road of recovery. It is amazing how I actually thought about Megha from time to time and I hoped and prayed that she was getting better. The kids are still cute as ever and I put the Corrections on to my reading list. Unfortunately, I am just hoping to read 12 books this year not 52. Take care
Megha, I absolutely understand what you mean about missing out on life when are struggling with health issues. Last year I was hospitalized about a dozen times and even on a psych unit for anorexia. I missed out on about 3 or 4 months. It sucks. I'm feeling amazing now and pray I'm not back in the ER for a long time
This aligns with Primal Blueprint to a certain degree. Following you guys on keto allowed me to graduate and become a Primal Health Coach. As you said eat more nutritionally dense foods as you stated is the way to go. Thanks for the update
Love your honesty and so happy to hear that Megha is feeling better. I love that you guys film with the kids because I have a WILD two year old and these make me not feel so alone. Parenting is more difficult and rewarding than I ever could have imagined. ❤
It was so nice seeing yall again. Judging by the comments and views I think it's safe to say you were missed. Happy new year, its great to see that yall are doing better ❤
Yes, so happy to see you guys! ☺️ Praying to Jesus you all stay healthy! 🙏 💞 I’ll follow you in however you eat! 🤗 Keep just doing what makes you feel good and healthy! 🥳
Megha I agree with you about all that sugar from those tropical fruits and juices, I wouldn’t know how to hold back. I know me I will just blow up. Now I have switched from keto to carnivore for about 5 months. I was so miserable doing carnivore. It took me getting super sick for a few weeks to realize I needed something more in my body while it was healing. My husband stop 2 weeks before me. He kept saying you got to eat fruits and veggies and that's what my body craved. I took his advice and now I'm feeling so much better. When I return, I will probably only do ketovore but this time listen to my body and eat what I need when I need it. You are on the right track. Do what is right for you. I wish you and your family well!
Wow! I'm glad to see you all. I haven't seen you in a while. So this is even a year ago, lol. I will have to search more to see how this turned out. I wonder about so much orange juice too. But, I have read that carbs are not essential, but many foods have nutrients we need, and they just happened to have carbs. So oranges aren't evil, but I couldn't drink that many oranges at a time. I have found as I am older, dairy seems to bother me and my joints. When I consume it very much I find myself getting around like an old woman, lol. I AM an old woman, but I want to not creep around. So I am still trying to work it out. I make my own yogurt and learning about making kefir to see if fermented milk works for me. I don't feel the need to drink milk, but I need it to get the yogurt and kefir. I'm not sure if just consuming it that way is better. I have been diagnosed with lipedema and lymphedema. It is hard to diagnose and many doctors don't know much about it, or what to do for it. The thing suggested by doctors that do resiearch it and try to help people that are affected by it to eat a ketogenic diet and to lower or omit dairy, but everyone is affected differently. I don't really miss milk, but I do enjoy yogurt and kefor. I am hoping I can continue those. The only way I could use orange juice would be to juice it myself. Cooked fruit I don't believe is a good idea. At least it is more like its original form when you juice it- it is live juice! But those are my ideas about it all. So I am trying to get more serious about keto again, and seeing that you are transitioning to something else feels wierd. But everything changes. People have to figure out what works for them and what makes them happy. I was glad to get a break from keto, but I gained a lot of weight thawt I had lost and I don't feel as good. It is harder for me to lose again, so that is a challenge I will have to deal with. I will keep gaining weight if I don't address it. There are so many options. Sometimes I think if we eat as much whole foods as possible and have a balance of it, that can make sense. Even oranges have I think it is called diosmin, which is good for circulation and good for the symptoms I have, and eating an orange or haveing some fresh juice I think can be beneficial. I will have to look up your updates since this one to see how you are doing. I hope all is well, you have beautiful children. It seems like it changes so much, and i guess it really does, you think it will never change from all of the efforts you go through when your children are young. But it goes so fast, before you know it, it will all change again and they will be grown. I can sympathise with how you expressed yourself and being overwhelmed with the everyday with children. I had three girls. Now they are in their mid thirties and early forties and it just didn't take long for that to happen.
Thanks guys for the update. I've missed you! So thankful for your honest depictions. Not a lot of that on the internet. You're just living your life. You don't owe anyone out here anything, the keto community included. Love you !
I’m not totally in agreement with this. They’ve made their bones and following on the channel by making everything public. We are invested in their story and a checkin video or story would have been nice.
Exactly! Very happy to hear from you two (four!). Your followers all knew you were dealing with a LOT in your lives with Mega’s serious health issues, so no videos were expected. Just so glad to hear things are now on the upswing!

I'm so delighted to hear you are feeling better and are on the road to complete a restoration IJN. 🙏❤Continue doing whatever you feel you need for yourself, your family, and your emotional and spiritual well-being. Regardless of what you guys are eating, we'll still be watching. You've provided so much value for so many people over the years. Matt, well done on being a covering and source of strength for your wife and children. God Bless! I can't believe how big the boys have gotten ❤💙
The sugar alone would be a red flag...
It's really cool you guys were honest about how you fell off and just eat what is available. Not many people admit that. Hope the new year treats you well and we see you more often!
I drank a lot of fruit juice and that's how my TII diabetes was started. NOT GOOD if you ask me. Lots of pulp would be best, but I don't think it's a good idea.
So Happy to see you guys again.. you were definitely Missed... im so glad Megan is doing better. Felix is very close to Matt... Theo is adorable and growing up so fast. LOVE YOU GUYS
Wow - the changes are huge here as I haven’t check-in in about two years. Megha just had Felix and I had quit keto during our pandemic shutdown for carbs galore. Coming back now for some keto inspiration and finding beautiful Megha recovering from being very sick, Matt’s on some Peat kick and the kids are blooming so wonderfully. But so good to see that you all are doing well!💕
Yea, you're back! I've missed you guys so much. Megha, I am so happy you are starting to heal and feel better. Your boys have grown so much. I remember how crazy life gets with two small children. It's fun, but it's also a constant state of tired.
I have been eating Beef, Butter, Bacon and eggs for one year and feeling great. I just got my blood work and it was fantastic
Nice to see you all again. You’ve been missed. I’m glad to hear that Megha is doing better. All the best for 2023!
Yes, its a very difficult season of life. But it will get easier. Im 60 and remember it well. Couldnt wait for them to be school aged, then decided to homeschool. It was worth every minute of it. Any sacrifice you make for your boys will be worth it. 👍
Good job on homeschooling! I just decided to do that myself. Can’t imagine sending her away all day 🤍
I agree.♡ these times will fly by
I did keto for a year... lost a ton of weight and got off all my meds. Stopped for a month and ate like crap and paid for it with 20lb weight gain... back to it and on the road to where I was.
More like 6 years +. I will have been on keto for 5 years, come the end of this month and I'm pretty sure you were at least a year ahead of me, maybe more. I couldn't have survived the first six months of keto if it weren't for you, your YT channel, and your website. I still make many of your recipes -- both from your channel and your cookbook -- that have become some of my favorites.
I was so sad to hear that you have had a rough road of it, Megha. I'm really glad the worst is past and you're starting to feel like yourself again. The boys are adorable, btw. I love listening to Theo talk!
Whereas I got sick 2-3 times every year (before keto), I haven't been sick once since I started, not even a 24 hour sore throat, nothing! I attribute that to keto. It's the only thing I've changed, but of course, it changes everything.
I look forward to hearing how you do on this new eating plan, Matt. I will also look for the books you recommended. I'm glad you're doing that.
So glad you guys have come through the fire ! I am sure it was the hardest time for you both! Chronic illness impacts the entire family ….hope this is the start of a new and healthy year!
I think it’s great that you are open and honest about changing your diet!
was thinking about getting back into keto/ low carb and of course came back to your channel right away. been a few years but your kids are getting so big. i love it.
Good to see you back, glad you are both doing well and thanks for the update!
I started watching you guys back when you were still in Philly, you were what inspired me to start keto. I did fantastic for a long time and watched you and the savages regularly. Then about the time I started deeper state keto both your channels really started pushing a mentality that if “you really want it you make time for it” and having kids and work and life struggles was just an excuse to not eat healthy and hit the gym every day. I loved watching you guys and knew that as young couples you would one day find out how that’s not really true. But it was still really difficult to hear and I had to stop watching both channels. I’m glad to see your on the other side of things now, your family is amazing and you both deserve all the health and happiness in the world.
Good seeing you back. When this video popped up in my feed I was so delighted. Happy Megan is recovering. It just takes time. The kids are adorable. Missed you all.
So happy that you are feeling so much better! I was really sick and mostly bed bound for a few years and it led to depression because I felt like a burden and I couldn’t be there for my kids like I wanted to be. Now that I am better I am making up for lost time but so grateful for my health and my 4 boys 🤍
Thnx for sharing so much of your life with the world. Glad Megah is healing.
The best way to know if you’ve overdone carbs is to gauge how crabby you feel 2-3 days later. Of course the more carbs you consume the more cardio output you need to put in. But insulin spikes alone will tell you if you’ve over done it, cause you will get more crangry, then usual…. At least that’s how i gauge it. Grains tear me up the most: body aches, depressed mood etc.
Life is not static bro. Forgive yourself always. It’s ok to binge on carbs once in a while, sometimes for energy sometimes for comfort. What is the least detrimental carb? For me its fruit or dairy items.
-Best wishes
So happy to see your update! I have had PF off and on for years….one time in both feet at the same time.
The only thing that worked permanently (so far) for me was getting custom inserts for both feet from my foot/ankle doctor. He said I had let it get so bad that it would take about 90 days to heal. It took that much time!
Glad Megha is feeling better!
Look forward to your future updates.
I'm so happy to see that Megha is doing better! I have really missed you guys! The boys are so wonderful! I always love seeing them! Best of luck in the new year! I am always happy to see book recommendations from Matt.
Nice to see your video and to see how you are all doing. I'm so happy Megha is feeling better and turning a health corner. The kids are adorable, and, as you note they change your entire world. Clearly everyone is thriving. Wishing you all the best in 2023!!
I've tried the Ray Peet approach via Kate Deering method. For me, an "abstainer" it didn't work. My cravings became out of control. So now I'm back on carnivore, although using coconut products in order to eliminate dairy due to allergies. Looking forward to see how Peet's method works for you.
Welcome back friends. Happy New Year.
Megha continued prayers for your healing and improving health. Matt!!! Dad of the year! You’ve done amazingly taking the family reins and talking care of your beautiful boys and wife.
Speaking of the boys…Wowzers! So handsome and so grown up already. Like where does the time go?
I hope that 2023 has great positive things in store for the two of you. We will be right here anxiously waiting for what’s next! Lol…no pressure.
Truly greatful and happy to see you again.
Sending positivity and best wishes out to you both and your littles. ❤
So awesome to get an update. When I saw Theo I almost cried, he's griwn sooo much. Happy you are better Megha. ❤️❤️❤️
I always have to explain to people, I'm Karen but not a "KAREN " 🤣😅🥰
Thank you so much for the update! I appreciate your honesty and how much you continue to share with us. I've followed you guys for years and have missed you guys tons the past year. Even when I'm not doing keto I still love following you guys, so I could care less if you guys fall off the wagon or feel the need to switch things up from strict keto. I love your lifestyle updates just as much as the keto recipes, so I look forward to seeing where your new diet modifications take you in future videos! Also I love the book recommendations so keep them up! 😊
You are not alone! We had twins almost 2 years ago and we fell way off our keto diet and can't get anything done lol. We are working on getting back on our diet this year, been visiting your website alot more! I'm excited!
I so remember those days with little kids. Such a blessing but brutal. Youngest is now 9 and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve loved them so much at every age. Hang in there!
Well you guys are and always have been my biggest Keto inspiration, so I’m looking forward to an update on this new journey.
"Hard to focus and concentrate. I can't do anything anymore." 😂 I felt that
I used to watch you two (it was just the two of you way back then) and I loved hearing about your keto journey. I decided to pop back in this morning and see how things were going and I’m so delighted to see that you have two beautiful, healthy boys and it looks like your lives are all very rich and full and I’m so happy for all of you!
So glad your health scare improved! I got into keto a few years ago and your channel is where I got a majority of my information and inspiration to make the change. I lost about 30lbs at the time. Then stopped it around the holidays and never went back. I decided to get back into now and knew I had to get connected to your pages again. Lots of changes since I followed your page and websites. Happy for you all and the kids. Do you all still promote eating keto? Are you going to keep Keto Connect going? You guys are awesome!
I had significant health issues after having both of my boys (due to a chronic condition), and agree that I feel like I lost time during those precious days. I have to reframe the way I think about that into something more positive, or it's an endless cycle of "why me" or "what if". I'm SO glad you are finally on the other side of that horrible time.
Wow sorry Meg has been sick! Speed healing sweet lady! Love that your husband has helped with the kids so much. Glad to see a new lifestyle/diet. Keto becomes so obsessive for a lot and it really is so restrictive.
So glad to see Megha feeling better! That was hard to watch. Matt was so good with the boys & looking after Megha.
Love it! I love the transparency! I get it! The struggle of parenting! 😂 Cutest boys ever!! ❤ So glad you are felling better! Love seeing ya’ll continue to fight for your goals, and personal growth.
Weird new diet. Some parts completely WRONG. Back to testing your blood sugar.
I really missed your videos, and I am so glad to hear Megha is doing better! Coincidently, I also dabbled into a higher carb diet last year, with whole foods, and although it was surely tasty I had to let go of it as I started feeling brain-foggy and just more inflammed. Now I carb cycle according to my menstrual cycle, and I feel like it is working :)
Can you say more? 🧐
@@Menschymain I basically follow the menstrual cycle suggestions by Dr. Mindy Pelz and apply the hacks created by Glucose Goddess :) This way I assure that I am in ketosis at lest SOMEtimes...
Thanks for the update. Megha, I’m sorry you have been so o sick. I’m sending healing thoughts for your continued recovery. The boys are beautiful!
So glad you are doing better Megan. Healing for you and family is the #1 thing to focus on. Matt you seem to be a great Dad for your little precious boys. God bless your family!
Maaaaaaaaaaan, I felt Matt to my core. Havin
g kids is h.a.r.d! ...but worth it. Still, hard. Glad Megha is finally better. What a rollercoaster having health issues presents.
Theo is so cute! His little voice melted my heart. Felix just looks so happy. Many blessings that 2023 more than makes up for the lost time. May it be THAT GREAT!
So glad to see you guys back! Megha I can totally relate to you. I was extremely ill in my twenties and had many uti's with high fever and just plain bladder pain and it got worse from there. I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease which is a rare autoimmune. I remember what it was like being so sick and having 2 kids. Diet is the last thing on your mind. Just trying to keep yourself healthy so you cam be present with your family takes over. I'm so glad to hear your doing better and wish you a healthy, happy 2023.
This video LITERALLY made my day! Because of my Keto journey, you both were definitely an inspiration! And because of this, I think of you often! Good to see that all of you are doing much better. And more importantly, living your best life! No matter what food choices ya'll are making, I'm here for it! Prayers for continued recovery and super great health! ❤
On , heck no on juice. It's only sugar. Juice is an unnecessary beverage.
Probably natural on a good extractor..
Agreed! I think low sugar berries are fine in moderation. Fiber from fruit is good.
Orange juice is filled with vitamins and minerals . If you have to limit fruits and veg it’s not a fun vibe
Imagine not drinking juice
@@jenifferf9061 ikr so depressing lol
I used to have really bad planters fasciiitas wich is inflamation .I could barely walk for the first hour I was awake in the morning and was in crippling pain all day! I started keto diet for other reasons and the planters fasciitas went completely away along with many autoimmune problems I had
Whenever I fall off the keto wagon the pain in my feet comes back. Maybe going back keto or low carb or figure out whats causing the inflammation. Its not worth the pain for me to eat inflammatory foods.I wish I could but I cannot! I hope you feel better!
I am really glad that Megha is feeling better and I hope that she continues to heal. I have a chronically ill family member and I know how painful it is for them to miss out on life. However, they have made nutrition a huge priority and I believe it’s been key in helping them heal. I do think that strict keto with no processed keto crap or carnivore/ketovore would help Megha a lot with her interstitial cystitis and managing flare ups.
Matt seriously always seems to low key be hating life as a dad, lol. Ray Peat diet sounds kinda bananas, but who knows, he might thrive.
So glad to have you back guys😀I have tried Ray approach while back and I have to say that sadly it did not work for me. I was hungry,tired all the time ,my blood sugar was all over and I have gained 10 kg in space of 3 months. Having said that everyone is different so hopefully it will work for you.🥰
How?
I gained 50 lbs on Ray Peat and diabetes 😭
@@attached26able Well then you did it wrong
Thanks for the update guys! we’ve missed you!
How did I miss this from 11 days ago?! I've missed you guys. I'm happy to see that everyone is doing good. Love seeing the boys.
Megha, so happy to hear that you are feeling better. I've thought of you so much in 2022, now just catching up with the changes in your family and channel. Blessings to you all!!
It's so great to see you all! I've been wondering how your family is doing. :)
I missed you guys so much my gosh the boys are so big and adorable. I am glad you are doing better Megha I have a chronic illness diagnosed at 20 and I'm 51 now it has been a long hard road those who aren't chronically ill really have no grasp how many challenges we have physically mentally emotionally I fought everyday to do as much as I could when my boys were younger they are in their 20s now and help care for me as I am on oxygen and use a wheelchair. I carried guilt anger and sadness when I was younger about the cards I was dealt and the chronic pain was so debilitating. Once I really decided to face it head on and kind of mourned the disease free life I was never going to have and embrace each days new normal with a champion spirit that was really the turning point for me in mentally freeing myself and my focus on living it the very best I was able each day. Wishing you guys all the very best looking forward to seeing more of you 💓
I’d be prediabetic again drinking all of that juice. No way!!
I love that you guys are back and transparent! Sending love and lots of light ❤ Looking forward to more 🫶🏼
Can't wait to hear your update. The juice would put me over the edge. Keto is what I will always go back to (because I do feel best on keto), but sometimes I get the urge to experiment. Glad you are starting to feel better, Megan. Love the book recs. I have read Station 11, but just added the second two to my list.
I've been watching for a video update. I have been with you guys from early on. It breaks my heart for you and the challenges your beautiful family have faced. I get it. 2022 was the hardest in my life so far. Here is to a better and healthier 2023 for us all :)
Changing up the eating is normal. Most of us use keto cyclically, I've been doing it on and off for 40 years, having started with Atkins. Problem is the gaining of weight when not on keto and yes life and kids do get in the way.
Let's face it, there are times the body craves tropical fruits, ice cream etc. My kryptonite is ice cream when I'm not on keto.
Now I'm nearly 70, fighting the inflammation created when not on keto, not to mention the excessive weight gain during the last 3 years.
I've decided that keto has to be a way of life for me with the odd higher carb day to shake things up.
Wish you all the best on your family and dieting journey.
Glad you're feeling better Megha, good to hear from you guys! Maybe you can do a random Murder She Ate when you're up for it!! LOVED those so much!
Me too
So nice to see you guys again. Missed you alot. Wishing your family health and peace in 2023.
Hi yall!! Happy New year!! It was so refreshing to get an update!! Thanks!!
So good to see this video. Wishing you all the best of health. Prayers❤
I'm glad you guys are okay. Perhaps the reason why you can't find anything about his diet is because it's the throw everything and see what sticks approach. I'm seen no seed oil and no grain on both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg's channels. Seriously, orange juice is nothing but sugar. Eat the damn fruit if you must.
Or you could get a life & worry about yourself… :)
OMG!!! Your boys have really been growing and are SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!! (Although it's clear they're keeping you both on your toes! I'm sure you're both pretty exhausted!) It's great to see you all and get updates!
As a type2 insulin dependent diabetic, keto saved my life! Lost weight, a1c 5.1, lots of energy...then after 3 years, I fell off my program...a1c 6.6... weight gain and fatigue...
Heading back to what worked...keto!
We love you guys soooo much.. The kids have really grown, this is beautiful, you're both wonderful parents. So sorry Megha to hear about the health issues you had going on and genuinely happy to hear that you're starting to go out etc. You're a strong person, keeping in mind that your little munchkins are still under 5 years, that's really incredible! You and Mat make the dream team!!💯🙌🦾💐🌸 Look, Keto diet or not, I'm staying Keto Connected to this channel :D 💜💜💞💯 Compliments to the New Year..xx
Wow! Congrats on Felix! Haven't seen you all in a while since I stopped Keto. You all look awesome. My fav part of this was (paraphrasing) "Yea I'm doing this new diet by this guy called Ray Peat...he's dead now." lololol
Also, so glad to hear that Meg you are feeling well again. I was watching some of those older videos of you when you were sick and I felt so terrible for you. There’s nothing like good health!
What a treat. Thank you guys for the update. Glad to hear you're doing better Megha! I think of you guys often. Praying for a great 2023!
I'm so glad you came back! Love comes in so many forms and I realize I love your guys. Health is everything.
I would 100% pass on anyone who thinks it's OK to drink a Gallon of OJ a day, that's dumb as F. and not good diet advice.
Glad you posted this video. It was nice seeing this update.
Keep us updated. I understand the pain of PF in the feet. I committed to carnivore for 1 month and within 2 weeks my foot was 95% better. No joke. Still have minimal rare flare up. I’m ketovore. That’s also when I learned about lectins.
Good to see you all are doing better health wise. Also thanks for the honesty.
With that being said I appreciate all the recipes and advice, you have given over these years with the keto lifestyle, but with the new direction of the channel I will be saying goodbye. Thanks again!
Welcome back! Curious, will you share your Cholesterol and A1c blood sugar levels along with your new diet??
So Matt is practically on a high sugar moderate fat low protien diet... I wonder if it works best in avid runners
Nope. See: Dr. Timothy Noakes, a former marathon runner who lived this way and found keto to save his life.
Happy New Year!!!! So happy to see your beautiful family!!! Megha I'm thrilled that you are healing. I too belong to the IC club. Children do change you and the household dynamics for sure. Started with you in2017 you taught me so much about food and health. Will always be here because you are an honest, funny, authentic family who I have loved since Philly. Matt I would love to hear about the classics you're reading. I too have read the Catcher a few times. My #1classic is The Grapes of Wrath. I've read that at least 5 times or every few decades. The boys are absolutely gorgeous!!! Continued blessings.🙏🏽💖💯
Soooooo thankful for you feeling better megha xoxox🎉❤️🙏🏼 I deal with ALOT OF chronic illness and it’s a physical AND EMOTIONAL ride for sure
Thank you so much for the update. I am glad that Megha is farther down the road of recovery. It is amazing how I actually thought about Megha from time to time and I hoped and prayed that she was getting better. The kids are still cute as ever and I put the Corrections on to my reading list. Unfortunately, I am just hoping to read 12 books this year not 52. Take care
So good to see you and the kiddos! The boys have gotten so big! Enjoy your time with them and continued recovery Megha 🥰
Omg the kids have grown!! Missed you guys! Yes these years are so cute but wow they are the craziest and busiest I ever had.
Megha, I absolutely understand what you mean about missing out on life when are struggling with health issues. Last year I was hospitalized about a dozen times and even on a psych unit for anorexia. I missed out on about 3 or 4 months. It sucks.
I'm feeling amazing now and pray I'm not back in the ER for a long time
Good to hear from you! Glad Megha is back on the mend! Good luck with the diet, keep us updated.
This aligns with Primal Blueprint to a certain degree. Following you guys on keto allowed me to graduate and become a Primal Health Coach. As you said eat more nutritionally dense foods as you stated is the way to go. Thanks for the update
Soo good to see you and your beautiful family!! 🧡
Missed you guys! Great update!!
I thought it was a while since I last saw a videos of you guys. So glad to see you guys again and you're well!
So glad you’re feeling better and so glad to you you all back!
Love your honesty and so happy to hear that Megha is feeling better. I love that you guys film with the kids because I have a WILD two year old and these make me not feel so alone. Parenting is more difficult and rewarding than I ever could have imagined. ❤
It was so nice seeing yall again. Judging by the comments and views I think it's safe to say you were missed. Happy new year, its great to see that yall are doing better ❤
you do you! no cancel culture here! so good to get an update! sending you all love!😊
Yes, so happy to see you guys! ☺️ Praying to Jesus you all stay healthy! 🙏 💞 I’ll follow you in however you eat! 🤗 Keep just doing what makes you feel good and healthy! 🥳
Sorry to hear that you have not been well, all the best for the future, and I look forward to seeing more from you two when you are making videos.
Megha I agree with you about all that sugar from those tropical fruits and juices, I wouldn’t know how to hold back. I know me I will just blow up.
Now I have switched from keto to carnivore for about 5 months. I was so miserable doing carnivore. It took me getting super sick for a few weeks to realize I needed something more in my body while it was healing. My husband stop 2 weeks before me. He kept saying you got to eat fruits and veggies and that's what my body craved. I took his advice and now I'm feeling so much better.
When I return, I will probably only do ketovore but this time listen to my body and eat what I need when I need it.
You are on the right track. Do what is right for you.
I wish you and your family well!
Wow! I'm glad to see you all. I haven't seen you in a while. So this is even a year ago, lol. I will have to search more to see how this turned out. I wonder about so much orange juice too. But, I have read that carbs are not essential, but many foods have nutrients we need, and they just happened to have carbs. So oranges aren't evil, but I couldn't drink that many oranges at a time. I have found as I am older, dairy seems to bother me and my joints. When I consume it very much I find myself getting around like an old woman, lol. I AM an old woman, but I want to not creep around. So I am still trying to work it out. I make my own yogurt and learning about making kefir to see if fermented milk works for me. I don't feel the need to drink milk, but I need it to get the yogurt and kefir. I'm not sure if just consuming it that way is better. I have been diagnosed with lipedema and lymphedema. It is hard to diagnose and many doctors don't know much about it, or what to do for it. The thing suggested by doctors that do resiearch it and try to help people that are affected by it to eat a ketogenic diet and to lower or omit dairy, but everyone is affected differently. I don't really miss milk, but I do enjoy yogurt and kefor. I am hoping I can continue those. The only way I could use orange juice would be to juice it myself. Cooked fruit I don't believe is a good idea. At least it is more like its original form when you juice it- it is live juice! But those are my ideas about it all. So I am trying to get more serious about keto again, and seeing that you are transitioning to something else feels wierd. But everything changes. People have to figure out what works for them and what makes them happy. I was glad to get a break from keto, but I gained a lot of weight thawt I had lost and I don't feel as good. It is harder for me to lose again, so that is a challenge I will have to deal with. I will keep gaining weight if I don't address it. There are so many options. Sometimes I think if we eat as much whole foods as possible and have a balance of it, that can make sense. Even oranges have I think it is called diosmin, which is good for circulation and good for the symptoms I have, and eating an orange or haveing some fresh juice I think can be beneficial. I will have to look up your updates since this one to see how you are doing. I hope all is well, you have beautiful children. It seems like it changes so much, and i guess it really does, you think it will never change from all of the efforts you go through when your children are young. But it goes so fast, before you know it, it will all change again and they will be grown. I can sympathise with how you expressed yourself and being overwhelmed with the everyday with children. I had three girls. Now they are in their mid thirties and early forties and it just didn't take long for that to happen.
