My father was diagnosed with the same as your father. I am so sorry. My father had nearly the exact journey that your father did. I went with him and my mom as you both did for the entirety of my first pregnancy. My father died a few weeks before my son was born. So I am sending love to you both and your family.❤️❤️ You are such lovely people, full of light heartedness and making a tough dieting road more palatable for so many! I watch all of your videos, try your recipes and I did notice that your had gained any weight at all. I never saw any skin issue with you, Sarah. People shouldn’t have that much time on their hands to hold you under a microscope. Hurt people hurt people. Sarah, I had skin issues as well probably due to the stress. After I had my baby, and he was safely drinking formula, I got a prescription for Retin-A gel. It is a miracle for clearing up your skin AND gets rid of lines and wrinkles as a side effect! Anyway, I hope you both heal well and know he is with you. Love from Sherry
If you haven't been a caregiver for a dying loved one, you have absolutely NO idea. It's the hardest thing you will ever do, but there's no way you wouldn't do it. Well done, faithful daughters
Considering how some of them conduct themselves in the FB group, I'm not surprised those kinds of comments were made.. fortunately, there are more of us than there are of them.
My precious girls!!!! I am 80 years old and been on keto 4 plus years…have lost 84 pounds…more importantly…not been ill!!!! I lost my Mother, Father, Sister and many bffs to cancer…I can honestly say …I feel your pain! I respect your lovely positive attitudes BUT if I (and thousands of others like me) had known what you were going through, we would have prayed EVERYDAY for you and your family!!!! Be sure, I will pray for all of you from this day forward!!!! God bless you as you work through your grief and thank you so very much for all you do!!!! Love and smiles in Jesus!!!♥️♥️♥️
I adore you girls. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. My heart is with you during this time. I lost my Mother when I was 26. Time heels all wounds. I have so enjoyed your utube chanel. You have been such a blessing for me during my Keto journey. I did it on my own and lost 80 lbs. All because of you sweet wonderful girls. Keep up the good work and know you are needed in this world. Praise and love to you! Bea ❤
I agree 100%. This 64 year old women would like to echo the woman who posted this. I know your pain. I lost my amazing dad 3 years ago. The pain remains but the memories make it seem so bearable. You’ll get there, too.
My heart breaks for you two and your family. You don't owe anyone an explanation. So... it is my deepest hope that you made this video for yourselves, and for healing. People can be so cruel, but you know that. I love the photos of your Dad. Thanks for sharing with us something so personal. 💙
I am so sorry for your loss. I love all the hospice workers, they are wonderful people but nothing fills the void caused by loss. The fact you kept tears back long enough to tell the story was inspiring. We all have sad stories to tell and the older I get the more often the loss. My dad passed at age 37 in 1987, since 2018 I have lost one family member a year until all ( even my step father) have all left. So many times I reach for the phone to call them and have to relive their loss. I think you 2 have honored your father and love your mother. Weight and health are important but focusing on love is more. I’ll lose the next 15 pounds with you. I don’t know you but my heartbreaks just the same.
I echo what others have said...losing your dad or anyone you love is extremely tramatic! It's like being in a fog! I'm so very sorry for your loss! Praying that God will continue to strengthen you two and give you His Peace! I love, love, love your channel! And I'm anxious for your new one! Take care! Much love and many hugs!❤
Dear Sisters, that small weight gain IS A WIN! I'm in a life crisis since 2022 and used food for comfort - totally OFF keto and gained more than 70 pounds back. You are great daughters and did wonderful by your dad!
I'm not happy you gained back weight, but it is so good to hear about circumstances causing us to go back to old habits...sugar is comforting and addictive as you know. I got a concussion, started a new job (very stressful) now after gaining back 60 pounds, I'm on keto, but considering full carnivore as the darn scale won't budge. Counting carbs, doing intermittent fasting....I'm so ashamed of myself
@@cynthiastrom4298 so sorry! Yes, it is so hard when we turn to food for comfort. My daughter decided to change her identity and decided my husband and I were not going to be a part of it. 😭 Life gets hard, but we can get back on the saddle and keep trying! 🙏
Some viewers forget you are real people. They want a recipe or they see you come up in their feed and don't think about real lives attached to those pretty faces. Sorry for the insensitivity. Thank you for letting us know.
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear father. Loosing a parent is a very hard thing to accept. I’m 70 years old and I still have tears when I think of my father who died from cancer when I was 20 years old. My heart goes out to you both.❤
I lost my dad at 19 to cancer, I was his caretaker, I'm now close to the age he died. He was 71 and I'm now 70. I use to live in Illinois and worked downtown at northwestern. I miss the scenery. I now live in California.... I kept seeing your videos, but never clicked on them. I'm glad I did.❤
I'm an old lady, it was serendipity that I found you . I am ashamed of those who have nothing better in their soul than to criticize you or anyone else. The year after I lost my dad, I quite frankly lost my mind. I was just lost. You must grieve, whatever that looks like for you, it must happen. Don't skip a step, you will need to go through every inch of it for your own good. I admire you ladies so much. Please know that you are very special to us. May God give you strength and the peace that only He can give.
You both are awesome. Good daughters, good humans, fantastic entertainers. You both did what ya’ll needed to do. One of the things I enjoy is your real life relaxed Keto vibe. You both are in our prayers. By the way how awesome that you were able to give your dad joy with your channel. You are not alone and all who have walked a similar road get it. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🌼❤️
Don't listen to the meanies. The more popular you get, unfortunately the more detractors find you. You guys are so wonderful. Thank you so much for brightening our lives even during your darkest days.
My wife and I have been ride-or-die lurkers of your channel for quite a while now. Every time we would get frustrated on our Keto journey, your videos and recipes have kept us on track. The haters can just !@#$ OFF INTO THE FOREVER. Please know that there are TONS of us out here who love you both unconditionally and live for your videos. Big hugs to you both...
My name is Mark. I am a professional house painter who loves to garden and cook Your video concerning your father and your journey through the end of his life was very touching. You guys have been a big inspiration, and I will continue to enjoy watching your videos. I love your humor and the way you play off each other. You showed courage and strength throughout your journey with your father . I know you will use that same courage and strength to continue with your TH-cam channel. Your father will continue to be proud of you both. Keep up the great work keto twins. Manny prayers for your family. Your youtube friend Mark
You ladies don't need to explain yourselves at all!! Even if you gained 200lbs we'd understand because what you went though was horrible!!! Shame on those commenters making comments about your appearance!! Literally made me yell at my screen, makes me so mad!!! Take as much time as you ladies need to grieve-
My dad died in 2022. There are NO healthy options at hospitals past the day hours. My parents were married 62 years. Between running to the hospital, being there for my mom, as the only girl and oldest a lot fell on my shoulders. I was also babysitting two infants ( I needed the income). It was NUTS. The aftermath of his death was my mom devastated, selling the family home, I spent hours visiting my mom, making meals and delivering them, watching TV with her. These past two years have been a struggle. I really had no time to care for myself. In the past two years I’ve gained back 50 pounds of the 95 I lost. I do wish it was only 15lbs. I sat with my dad as he died and there when he took his last breath. I had sent my mom home who looked like she was going to die from worry. There is nothing pretty about witnessing a death, it’s not like the movies. I know I will get back on track. Sometime we all need to give ourselves the grace we need. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
The fullness of life includes death, but also belly laughs and tears, and plain old mundanenss. There is no way any of us, your subscribers and fans, could imagine what this cycle of life, has brought you both. That being said, your dad gave you two, both biologically and through enculturation, part of himself. It looks as though the Keto Twins are beginning again, in that fullness of life. For what it's worth to each of you, it never matters whether you "looked" one way or another. I can say this with some authority, The Keto Twins have been unique in the world of Ketogenic life. I know because I have watched a hell of a lot of them. Your videos are valuable to everyone who watches. (and supports your sponsors😉). I'd wager I'm speaking for most of your audience, that we'll take the ups and downs equally, and happily. It's 2024 now, so I'm betting your 250k goal will be accomplished this year. All blessings upon you and yours
Emily and Sarah- I am so sorry for your loss. I am 65, and still don’t feel middle aged😉I converted to Keto a little over a yr ago and have lost 45 lbs. Your recipes helped me a lot. I am also crying right now. I lost my mom about the age you are now. I lost my dad about 12 yrs later. Then, my favorite aunt was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer, ( the same one I had, when I was 42.) My uncle was 79, and she was 69. She was so sick so fast. I was retired, and I packed up my 2 dogs and 3 cats and moved in with them. Unfortunately, chemo didn’t work, and she went into hospice. I was with my uncle when she passed. I know how hard your dad’s illness was for you guys. But, he was right about you continuing your videos. You help so much with your recipes, but you always lighten our days with your humor. Looking forward to the podcast!
My husband of 40 years died in October after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He only survived 56 days after being diagnosed. So I can relate! I had a real rough patch after being on the keto diet for 6 years! My sympathy and prayers are with you both! ❤😢
My husband passed fro. Pancreatic cancer as well. 5 yrs. Ago. He lived 24 days from diagnosis. We were married 47 yrs. Jesus is sll that got me through.
I took care of my dad when my mom died. They were married for 60 years and so in love. The doctor said my father had COPD so severe that he had 6 months to live. I made the decision to move in with him, and he lived five years! We traveled and had fun. Then, on my 59th birthday, he went to be with my mom.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. He was only supposed to live for about a month but he went into remission and 6 months later he seemed to be doing fine. Then one Friday he saw his oncologist and came home and told my mom that he wanted to show her where all the important papers were. He didn't say anything else. On Monday morning she found him passed away in his recliner, still holding his horse racing form in one hand and a pen in the other. Cancer sucks. Losing a parent sucks. I wish I could tell you it gets easier. It doesn't really. It gets to the point where you can finally look back on the past with your dad and smile instead of cry at his absence but that will take time. But, it sure sounds like he was awesome and he obviously loved you both and was so proud of you. Keep that in your hearts. It helps.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm excited at the prospect of you having a lifestyle channel! So many possibilities. I hope you don't let people's harsh words bother you. Just know that there are another 99% of your viewers who absolutely adore you and support you! ❤ Praying for you and your family. 🙏
My dad had colon cancer at my wedding and rolled him down the aisle with me. His Dr. Told me he lived longer so that he could see me get married. He died two weeks after. Like yours, my dad was a very special man. I am sorry for your loss and know that at some point, you will smile at the memories instead of cry. You are both wonderful daughters and he was proud of you. That is wonderful.
I love you both and people are cruel. I just lost my dad and I'm a mess. I miss my Dad so much. I understand: how you feel. I couldn't tell you gained weight or you skin was having issues. Those kind of people are A-Holes. Luckily you girls have each other ❤❤❤
People who criticize you can eff all the way off. I lost my Mom in November 2003 and in February 2004 I was diagnosed with an immunity disease. I fully believe it was my body reacting to the stress of her death. Everyone responds to grief differently. Thanks for sharing this with us. Continued healing to your family and know that there are people out on the internet who truly care about you. 💙💜
Emily and Sarah - I am new to your channel - I've seen a few videos over the years, but in recent days I started following more low carb and keto youtube channels and your "we need to talk" popped up. Wow. First of all, my deepest condolences for your loss. My goodness, you have been through so much. My Dad passed a year ago - and he declined very slowly over the course of 5 years (he had dementia) and when our parent's decline - it's a stressful, emotional time. Thank you for being real. I TOTALLY understand weight gain and skin issues - and it broke my heart to hear that people said critical things of you. That is so shallow. The truth is - eating healthy, following keto, low carb, low glycemic, etc. IS A PROCESS. Life interrupts us all the time. I'm grateful to you both because it encourages me that I am not alone in the struggle.... that life throws you curveballs and your diet will fluctuate. God bless you both - and again sorry for your loss. You could tell your Dad was very special. :)
May those that have made these horrible comments never have to face the tragedy of losing someone so close to you. It takes a very long time to not want the world to stop and notice a wonderful person is no longer with us. Live each day completely... love and laugh with everything you have. Dream of your father and relive your beautiful memories! Xo
I’m glad that you made this video. I was an only child and when I was 59, I got a call from my mother’s oncologist telling me that she would have to be in hospice due to lung cancer. My wife handed me a box of clothes & my insulin and said go! I spent the next few months taking care of her before she passed. I was lucky to have the support of my wife and two daughters, just as you had with your sister(s). I’m now LCHP and have lost between 70-80 lbs. and finally got my diabetes under control. All I can say is it eventually gets better!
You are a blessing. My husband of 34 years died in 2020 after many years of illness and disability. I started watching you somewhere around that time. I appreciate you and adore you. You have been a bright spot and a joy in my life though some of my darkest years. I am so grateful to you. Your dad was awesome. My husband's personality was similar. He was sweet and funny and not Mr. Fix-it too. Your both so beautiful, super smart and seem to understand that critical, insensitive people are damaged and how their lack of restraint and officious
Sarah and Emily, I'm so sorry for your loss. As a person that has taken care of both my mom and dad, and also my father in law I know where you're coming from. I told my FIN, that it was an honor to have taken care of him and my parents. Just remember this, God chose you, you've completed the mission, and given much honor to your family, especially your dad. God bless you both. You are lovely and beautiful inside and out. Love you guys!
My sister and I are 70 year young identical twins. You beautiful ladies have been a Godsend to us and thousands of other people. We went through much your same journey in 2017-18 with our dad. God bless you both for your love and compassion. May your journey continue to bless others.
Omg, i thought that was Burt Renolds when you showed the 60 minutes video. He was a handsome man. He was fortunate to have such caring daughters. It shows what a good dad he was. God bless your mom and you. I can't believe how rude and nasty people can be. Even if you weren't going through hell. You're beautiful inside and out❤
You deserve ALL the grace. Anticipatory grief, layered into caregiving, is exhausting! Many of us have been in that position and we get it! I'm glad your Dad got to see your videos; that's so special.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I haven’t noticed weight gain or Emily’s skin, but even if I had, I certainly wouldn’t comment. You two and your channel are a joy.
My dad died 4 months ago on my 60th birthday. I had been working three days a week and driving 4 hours one way to help take care of him for the other days. Yes. I gained weight, too, and only half-a$$ed my keto diet. I wouldn’t trade one pound or fifteen for the time I had with him. I thought I knew how much I would hurt, but the depth of my sorrow was unexpected. A friend told me that my dad was obviously a good man to inspire so much sorrow. I still cry on nearly a daily basis. I hold you guys with me now when I miss him. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
At 74 years old, I am living without my father and mother. I lost a sister to breast cancer. One thing you two have of your father is a love of life. What we all should do is live the best life that we can to honor our parents gift. I see this in you two.
I’m 77 lost my mom, dad and older (by 4 yrs) best friend/sister as well in last 6 yrs. I miss them all but glad I moved in with my mom and dad before they passed.
My mother passed away from cancer (,brain) in June of 2022. You are not alone and I appreciate your story. I have gained 15-20 pounds since my mom left this world. I have been emotionally eating, and I'm trying not to drown. Slowly things will change and I hope the best for you both!
The like button for this video is actually a hug button. You two have brought us so much joy and happiness with the recipes you have shared. Thank you so much for being great people!
Having worked in oncology and also being a survivor that will always have a type of melanoma present (also not curable...treatable), I want you to know how moving it is for you to share this. Thank you. You take care of your family and of each other. So glad you had the opportunity to spend the time you could with your father. You are not alone.
I think you women are the bee’s knees ! I am so sorry for your loss but please know not all people are critical of you. Life is a roller coaster and you are handling it like a marvelous human being. I am 70 years young and love to see you create your videos. I lost my 96 year old mother in November of 2023. We must feel deeply and carry on the best we can. 💕
I have a blood cancer too. The transfusions are an all day event. I was scared to get a bone marrow biopsy because of the bad reviews on the Internet. It was a piece of cake. I didn't feel a thing. So if anyone is avoiding because they are scared go for it. I love that you were there for your parents. They raised beautiful daughters inside and out. God bless you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You two have helped me so much since the fall of 22 when I was hospitalized with uncontrolled diabetes. Since that time, going “dirty keto” as you call it, along with intermittent fasting I’ve lost 130 lbs. I can honestly say that you & four other TH-camrs were my inspiration to finally take my health serious. You both sound like you were phenomenal daughters that stepped up like family should and not only made your Dad your top priority but never let him feel like a burden. God bless you both & please never, ever let comments about your weight or appearance make you feel badly about yourself. The only thing that truly matters is your heart, and obviously you both have enormous hearts! Thank you for sharing & thank you for the help you’ve provided me! You also created a lot of revenue for the Dash company. I bought seven different mini-waffle makers to make your dang chaffle recipes! 😂
You are both rays of light on TH-cam! You are stronger than you know. Your dad sounds like a remarkable and loving man. Hold on to your precious memories of him. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing what’s been going on. You have a lot of support out here! You are loved! 🥰
This episode had me in tears! My mom passed away from ovarian cancer a few years ago and it was an extremely difficult situation to go through. My heart & prayers go out to you beautiful ladies. Thank you for sharing such a difficult story with all of us❣
I completely understand, y'all. When my brother died I stopped wearing makeup for work because I was sobbing uncontrollably seven or eight times per day. Then I might be hysterically laughing about something adorable he did or said while he was dying of kidney cancer. Then I'd see someone on the street who looked like him and I had to circle the block to get one more look at "him". The roller-coaster of emotions does diminish over time, but it takes months to years. Don't worry about us. Take care of yourselves and don't let anyone on TH-cam add one molecule to your burdens.
Ladies.....WHAT WONDERFUL daughters you are. I had 1 child that got an aggressive cancer in 2015 at the age of 34. We quilt our jobs and went to California to help his wife and 4 daughters. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and ended up gaining 100 pounds that year. He died 10 days before his 36th birthday. 9 years later I still struggle. This is a journey to move forward again. It will take the time it takes. Hugs and prayers as you Navigate these coming years.❤❤❤❤❤
I never noticed any differences. I just appreciated your content, recipes, and definitely your awesome, goofy sense of humor. I was 46 - 49 yo when my parents began declining. I gained over 20 lbs during that first 4 months. I still struggle with my weight. I am not keto, but in my efforts to lower my carb intake, I try to have low carb options. That's why i follow you. You make a difference in my life because of your content, not your perfectionism. Life is so f*g messy. It is the worst when you are watching those you love transition from this life to the next. Please take time to heal and hold your family close. It's not easy mourning. I'm not going anywhere. Do what you need to in the best way you can. You are enough just as you are. I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you. God Bless you both & Mom too.
Lost my Daddy in 2017 to lung cancer so I can relate. I was 55 at the time but I was still his little girl. To all the people who feel the need to boost themselves up by pointing out that you gained a little weight or had skin issues...go get a life. Girls, you are both beautiful and this will get better. I don't focus now on the months leading up to his death now and you will get there, too. Prayers and love to you both.❤
Wow, you two just described almost exactly what happened to me and my sister. We lost dad from a form of leukemia in 22, and helped my mom through it, while having lots of other things going on in our lives. I understand your story completely and my heart goes out to you both. What endures is the amazing love and life we shared together. Priceless!
Thank you for sharing. Life is hard sometimes and we cope with it in myriad ways. Not one of the mean commenters would handle cancer any better than you did. I will continue to follow you in all your platforms. Your dad would be so proud of all you are accomplishing. Sending love.
My heart is with you. I was with my Dad until he took his last breath. I was holding him while I played his favorite Hawaiian music. I gained 20+ plus pounds, the stress catapulted me into menopause believe it or not. My husband is my no. 1 cheerleader throughout. I understand and so grateful for your channel. It’s disappointing that some people are so ignorant and insensitive. I’m with you ❤ I’m gradually losing weight and I’m happy about that.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have watched my Mom die from lung cancer, my birth-mom die from pancreatic cancer, and my step-mom die from metastasized breast cancer that spread to her spine and skull. My father also died suddenly less than a year before my step-mom died. As I watched today it brought all of that back. I feel for you both so much. I know how hard it is to keep giving 100% to your work, and when you are grieving and going through this stuff. It takes more than you have. I want you both to know that I so enjoy your videos and that you are not alone. Sometimes our self-care suffers. Love to you both and your family.
My condolences to all of you.. 💔❤️🩹I don’t know how you guys kept working… i had to quit when my father was passing away in the hospital… you guys are tough! It would be appreciated to talk about grieving and self care… it’s part of the journey.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a nasty thing. One thing no one tells you is that when someone is diagnosed with cancer no matter what type, even if it does go into remission or you're cancer free, it can always come back. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in March of 2022 cancer free at the moment, but I live in fear. Your dad was a cancer warrior. Sending positive vibes ✨️
I pray you are able to change your outlook and remove the fear in your life. Love each day and those around you. Have a positive attitude. Fear and stress attract illness. Even if you don’t believe that statement, if you refuse fear, you’ll feel so much better. Nobody has a guarantee of anything in life. (I had a very rare ovarian cancer. I’m 10 years past chemo and doing great. I was told my particular cancer had a high probability of returning within 5 yrs.. I actually told my doctor nope….been there, done that, it won’t come back. Don’t worry.) But that’s me. I’m 77yrs old, no medications and healthy lifestyle. But I attribute my health to my mental attitude. Of course, when our time is up, it’s up. But if you’re in remission, keep a positive attitude. You’ve been given a blessing. Good luck yo you ❤️
Ladies, this video is the first time I have seen you. I have been keto for 5 years myself, but also like you, I have cared for my father while he died. It is more important to love your family and take care of yourselves than anything that will ever happen on TH-cam. You are both gorgeous, lovely people. I wish you well. Ignore any critics. They don’t get it.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. You hid your pain, suffering and grief well. I pray this video you made will help your healing process. You two are very creative, funny and beautiful, as well as devoted to your parents. You will never ever regret one single moment you spent at the hospital supporting your dad. He must have been so proud of you both.
You two were so strong and I am absolutely gob smacked how you kept yourselves together with so much going on. I know he is watching over you both, laughing away at what you two are up to. Know he is so very proud of you both. (I won’t say was, because his soul is still very much alive). I am so very sorry for your loss. My family and I will keep you two and your family in prayer. Love to your Mom as well. 🙏❤️
My husband died of pancreatic cancer 5 years ago on the 19th of this month. I can’t say that I know your experience, but I support you totally. I know your dad is so very proud of you both.
Consider calling your channel name “Keto Twins Reboot “. I too regained 20 lbs during Covid after my initial loss of 75 lbs. At age 81 I still consider this a win. Your keto journey is inspirational and I look forward to continuing watching you two!
I just love you gals. I lost weight in 2018 before my daughter's wedding. I gained weight after my dad died in 2019. I lost weight after that. I gained weight during cvd lockdown. I lost weight, I gained weight. Lather, rinse, repeat. Now I'm losing it again. Life happens. We keep going. Blessings to your family. ❤
You ladies are beautiful inside and out. I am 72 years old and I lost my husband 13 years ago to ALL. I know exactly what you’re talking about because I had that same experience. I had to work because I held the insurance and all I did was get up in the morning go to work, go to the hospital, which was two hours away and come home at 11 o’clock at night and get up the next day and do it all over again. there were some mean people who criticized me for not being by his side 100% of the time. My working was keeping him alive. He died on Mother’s Day and two month short of our 40th anniversary. We had planned a trip to Australia for that anniversary , and never got there. You girls helped me get my A1c levels down from 7.5 to 5.6. I no longer have diabetes 2. I love you both so much . I love your humor. I’m so sorry you lost your precious Dad. May he rest in peace.
@@kellylappin5944 Thank you so much. Being a caregiver takes a toll on your body and your mind. It takes time but you do bounce back. I am living proof that you can be happy again and my new motto is YOLO
I am so sorry for your loss. You will never ever look back and regret the time spent with your father. Prayers for you in your season of grief. Pooh on people who feel free to criticize or make unkind comments. Just POOH...
I'm all goosebumps and crying for you. I just turned 80, watched my Dad, Mom, Brother, sister, Grandparents, Ex husband, AND BFF all leave, Best Friend, Barb, was the worst. No wonder I've been having trouble losing weight, never thought about it this way. You both were brave, wish I had known sooner. Please keep connecting with us, any way you choose. Love you both.
My Mum died in Sept 21, I went to visit her in June and because of covid I was stuck there 2,000 kms from home for 3 months. I gained so much weight and got so ill that by the time she died I was determined to get home and do something about it. That was the start of my keto journey, I lost 25 kilos, reversed diabetes, lowered blood pressure, gave up all medications and a very big part of that journey was your videos. I know how you both feel but want you to know how grateful I am for your channel and your recipes and your wonderful attitude and fun videos. Thank you from the bottom of my much healthier heart. Love to you both.
grief never becomes less, just less often. you are LUCKY that you had the opportunity to take care of your dying father. bless you for inheriting your dad's humor!
You two daughters did the right thing being with your dad. You will realize it was a gift. Don't let negative people get you down. Family is most important. You are still beautiful and have accomplished a lot. Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss 😢 I agree with y'all that only gaining 15 pounds is a success. You two have lots to offer this community! Your dad was obviously very proud of y'all! The pictures and videos were very precious! Thank you for sharing your hearts with us!
I had lost 60 pounds in 2020 and I had maintained it well. I spent 2022 caring for my husband, who had apparently sudden onset and rapid progression ALS. That was physically demanding, and I could basically eat whatever, and so when people,brought me rolls and dessert, I ate it. Once he died in February 2023, I rapidly gained back 30 pounds. Grief eating is a thing, and grief is hard. And going through caring for a person with a terminal disease will change your perspective about your why. It shakes the vanity component in a way nothing else could.
When my son died I aged a good 10 yrs, lost half my teeth from the stress, to this day I can't sleep well. I actually lost weight to the extreme. So don't beat yourselves up, this is the grief process and it's not pretty.
I'm crying. I've been caring for my husband for the last 4 years, he has a rare leukemia plus is on dialysis. Every week is tracking hemoglobin and platelets, driving him to dialysis, doctor's appointments, transfusions, treatments. Like your dad my husband is the sweetest patient, even as he gets sicker and sicker. We worry that his leukemia is going to mutate, he hasn't had chemo in a year, his choice because it interfered with dialysis. And last week he was also diagnosed with melanoma and will have that removed in a few days. I really need to lose weight, but right now I don't give a hoot. God bless you both, and your mom. I'm glad you can be there for her. Be kind to yourselves. We'll be here when you're ready.
Oh sweet ladies, I am truly sorry for the loss of your Dad! I agree he is in a better place and no longer suffering. I pray for peace and comfort to your family as you adjust to life without him.🙏 You know he is always with you in your heart. I lost my Dad 27 years ago this coming Saturday and I do still miss him, but like your Dad, he had a wonderful sense of humor too and I can think about him and my mom and still have a good laugh!🥰🤗 One last thing, I thought the picture of your Dad on TV was actually Burt Reynolds when the picture first came up but then I looked closer and saw that it wasn't. 🤯😊 I love you two ladies and can't wait to check out your new channel. How about "Twin Talk" for the name?
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my granddaughter a year ago, I've gained weight due to the stress, the medication I am taking for the depression, and not being as strict with what I ate. I've come back to your videos and am restarting keto. People can be so unkind and don't think about what people may be going through. My thoughts are with you.
How people can be so cruel and thoughtless to comment about someone’s weight or how they look? Block them. I went through a similar time with my Dad at this same time period. It is heart wrenching and how you continued to make videos is beyond me. Take whatever time you need and replenish your spirits. Thank you for sharing your story and your entire video journey. You continue to inspire us ♥️🌸♥️
Praying for you guys. I’m so sorry. You guys are so tough and I love how supportive your dad was. ❤ Also, I honestly didn’t notice and still can’t tell you have gained weight but my goodness, who wouldn’t gain weight going through that. You’re both as beautiful as ever. Thank you for sharing the videos of your sweet Dad.
I've taken care of 3 dieing family members. It's extremely hard. Especially when you ask for help, to get a break and don't get it. It then becomes heart wrenching.
I remember when my father died, ( the funniest person I have ever known), we came home from the hospital sat around reminiscing and someone said “ should we order a pizza”. We all started laughing, it was just the perfect comment. You will recover, life will go on. You will have all those great memories of your wonderful father.
So sorry. I took care of my daughter who had cancer till she died. It’s very hard. You don’t always tell others about your life. Keep up the good work.
Ladies, you have done so well handling this trauma. Your dad was very proud of you. Every parent should be so lucky to have such loving and supportive daughters. You are beautiful inside and out. Hugs.
Thank you both for sharing such a vulnerable moment between you and your family. I'm not a "middle-aged lady" by any means, but my folks are definitely aging and it's difficult to talk or think about. In a bittersweet way, he's being immortalized every time y'all turn the camera on cause, "yes, dad, we're filming!" Also, been using LMNT every day since y'all talked about their free sample pack way back in the day - hope they keep supporting y'all too!!! Keeping y'all in our thoughts and thank you for all that y'all have done for both your family and for your not-so-small community.
I had a similar experience when my husband of 25 years was diagnosed with incurable cancer. Your struggle was mine too. I am so sorry for your family’s loss.
First of all, no one should ever make disrespectful comments about your weight. Not ok. I’m so sorry you have had to go through all of this. My condolences about your dad. You are lovely, strong, wonderful women. I love your channel and you always make me smile! Hugs 🤗 ❤❤❤
Thank you for opening up and sharing this most difficult loss. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been trying to have this public job and going through this personal struggle. Prayers for you both.
So very sorry for your loss. Y’all are great examples of loving and caring daughters both to your Dad and now your Mother. God Bless you and your family! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, my heart. My husband of 40 years was diagnosed with throat cancer in late June, 2023. Started Chemo in early August and passed away in mid-October. Two days before my son's wedding. I totally understand the stress weight. I gave up caring what I ate. I gained 20 lbs last year. Still don't care. But I will work on it this summer. My sympathy to you two, your sister and especially your mother. It sounds like your father was such a wonderful man.
Your dad must be so proud of the way your family rallied around him. He leaves behind a legacy. Thank you for sharing this with us, especially the pictures of him. He sounded like quite a character. I'm praying for your peace and healing during this time.
Ladies, do not give unsupportive people power over you. You did the exact right thing for you and your family. Watching a parent suffer, waste away, and eventually leave you is traumatic. You fell back on your coping mechanisms. Forgive yourselves and eff the haters! He was proud of you and loved that you two were doing something lasting. I love your videos and have used them for my keto journey. From one child-survivor of death-by-cancer to another. You did all the right things. You chose your dad. Your family. Don't feel like you owe any of us anything.
Sarah & Emily , I am so sorry for your loss of your dad. I have to tell you that you two got me through ‘22 to the present. My husband was diagnosed with 3 different types of leukemia. We have been through everything you have described in the video. We have been blessed with wonderful doctors. ( which truly is a God thing). He is in early stages of remission. His treatments will be finished in September of 2025. I have to thank you so much for what your channel has done for me. You gave me support to stay Keto… I would make some of the keto recipes to have something productive to do.. I would laugh with you. I am much older than you put you both so brighten my days. I am so angry that people are so disrespectful. If you truly have been on both sides of the weight issue you would not criticize but try to be supportive even if you did not know what was going on in your life… trust me when I say I could easily be over 300lb with all that has been going on in my life. I cherish both of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Emily and Sarah = My goodness you have been thru it! So proud of the way you handled everything. So very sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like such a blessing! He has had two great daughters and it sounds like he knew it even more once he saw your videos. What a fun thing for him to learn about at such a difficult time of his life. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. You went thru all this amazingly well in terms of Keto etc. Big WIN! You both are an inspiration to many. So glad your channel is going well. Ignore the trolls! You two are terrific.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it'll be incredibly hard for me when my Dad passes. I can't even imagine how hard this has been for you all. I hate that people left you truly horrible comments. Thank for sharing. I am just getting started with keto specifically to hopefully help with weight & health concerns. I look forward to every one of your videos I watch on both channels!
We are overwhelmed by all of your comments and love. Thank you so much
💖
You are loved beyond measure! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
💜💜💜
Love you sisters ❤️🩹❤️🩹
My father was diagnosed with the same as your father. I am so sorry. My father had nearly the exact journey that your father did. I went with him and my mom as you both did for the entirety of my first pregnancy. My father died a few weeks before my son was born. So I am sending love to you both and your family.❤️❤️ You are such lovely people, full of light heartedness and making a tough dieting road more palatable for so many! I watch all of your videos, try your recipes and I did notice that your had gained any weight at all. I never saw any skin issue with you, Sarah. People shouldn’t have that much time on their hands to hold you under a microscope. Hurt people hurt people. Sarah, I had skin issues as well probably due to the stress. After I had my baby, and he was safely drinking formula, I got a prescription for Retin-A gel. It is a miracle for clearing up your skin AND gets rid of lines and wrinkles as a side effect! Anyway, I hope you both heal well and know he is with you. Love from Sherry
If you haven't been a caregiver for a dying loved one, you have absolutely NO idea. It's the hardest thing you will ever do, but there's no way you wouldn't do it. Well done, faithful daughters
Amen.
💯
Omgosh so true.
This is absolutely true! There is no better tribute to a loving parent than to be there for them at the end of life.
I took care of my Mother for 12 years, the last 3 years with Dementia. Was with her to her last breath.
Gaining only 15 pounds during something so traumatic and life-changing is not a fail. Not even close.
This is a good example of why we should be kind to everyone. We don’t know what they’re going through.
💯
Absolutely agree. 100%.
@@nestkeeper So true. People are so freaking mean these days.
The viewers mentioning weight gain and bad skin are not nice people and should be ignored. You both look great!
1000%
Considering how some of them conduct themselves in the FB group, I'm not surprised those kinds of comments were made.. fortunately, there are more of us than there are of them.
Block anyone who is a jerk.
You are so right! How dare they feel so bold as to mention it. Keyboard Pirates. You never know what a person is going through.
Ummm I feel more strongly about those people but I’m trying to be nice
My precious girls!!!! I am 80 years old and been on keto 4 plus years…have lost 84 pounds…more importantly…not been ill!!!! I lost my Mother, Father, Sister and many bffs to cancer…I can honestly say …I feel your pain! I respect your lovely positive attitudes BUT if I (and thousands of others like me) had known what you were going through, we would have prayed EVERYDAY for you and your family!!!! Be sure, I will pray for all of you from this day forward!!!! God bless you as you work through your grief and thank you so very much for all you do!!!! Love and smiles in Jesus!!!♥️♥️♥️
Well said!!!❤
I adore you girls. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. My heart is with you during this time. I lost my Mother when I was 26. Time heels all wounds. I have so enjoyed your utube chanel. You have been such a blessing for me during my Keto journey. I did it on my own and lost 80 lbs. All because of you sweet wonderful girls. Keep up the good work and know you are needed in this world. Praise and love to you! Bea ❤
I agree 100%. This 64 year old women would like to echo the woman who posted this. I know your pain. I lost my amazing dad 3 years ago. The pain remains but the memories make it seem so bearable. You’ll get there, too.
Love your comment ❤
Amen, praying too for these two precious girls, and their mother and sister.
You're the daughters every dad would love to have, God Bless.
My heart breaks for you two and your family. You don't owe anyone an explanation. So... it is my deepest hope that you made this video for yourselves, and for healing. People can be so cruel, but you know that. I love the photos of your Dad. Thanks for sharing with us something so personal. 💙
I am so sorry for your loss. I love all the hospice workers, they are wonderful people but nothing fills the void caused by loss. The fact you kept tears back long enough to tell the story was inspiring. We all have sad stories to tell and the older I get the more often the loss. My dad passed at age 37 in 1987, since 2018 I have lost one family member a year until all ( even my step father) have all left. So many times I reach for the phone to call them and have to relive their loss. I think you 2 have honored your father and love your mother. Weight and health are important but focusing on love is more. I’ll lose the next 15 pounds with you. I don’t know you but my heartbreaks just the same.
So sorry about your losses as well, so many others have shared they have been through similar ❤️
@msilovelamp- thank you ❤️
He was so very handsome too!
I echo what others have said...losing your dad or anyone you love is extremely tramatic! It's like being in a fog! I'm so very sorry for your loss! Praying that God will continue to strengthen you two and give you His Peace! I love, love, love your channel! And I'm anxious for your new one! Take care! Much love and many hugs!❤
Dear Sisters, that small weight gain IS A WIN! I'm in a life crisis since 2022 and used food for comfort - totally OFF keto and gained more than 70 pounds back. You are great daughters and did wonderful by your dad!
I went off keto too. I've gained at least 60 lbs. 😞🙏
I'm not happy you gained back weight, but it is so good to hear about circumstances causing us to go back to old habits...sugar is comforting and addictive as you know. I got a concussion, started a new job (very stressful) now after gaining back 60 pounds, I'm on keto, but considering full carnivore as the darn scale won't budge. Counting carbs, doing intermittent fasting....I'm so ashamed of myself
@@cynthiastrom4298 so sorry! Yes, it is so hard when we turn to food for comfort. My daughter decided to change her identity and decided my husband and I were not going to be a part of it. 😭 Life gets hard, but we can get back on the saddle and keep trying! 🙏
@@terianderson9959 yikes, no fun at all. It's hard to start over. I know I feel better on keto, it's just that convenience food is so convenient 😆
Never once did I think you’ve gained weight either of you ! people never cease to annoy me ugh I’m so sorry for your loss , so sad .
“Real Life”- Keto Twins.
❤️ thank you for being here for so long!
Some viewers forget you are real people. They want a recipe or they see you come up in their feed and don't think about real lives attached to those pretty faces.
Sorry for the insensitivity.
Thank you for letting us know.
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear father. Loosing a parent is a very hard thing to accept. I’m 70 years old and I still have tears when I think of my father who died from cancer when I was 20 years old. My heart goes out to you both.❤
I agree, it never crossed my mind. They look the same and they are lovely and beautiful before and now.
Stress can cause weight gain. To the viewers who critique your weight…..GRRRRRR. 🙄. You guys do a great job
I lost my dad at 19 to cancer, I was his caretaker, I'm now close to the age he died. He was 71 and I'm now 70.
I use to live in Illinois and worked downtown at northwestern. I miss the scenery.
I now live in California.... I kept seeing your videos, but never clicked on them. I'm glad I did.❤
God bless you. Laughter is medicine.
I'm an old lady, it was serendipity that I found you .
I am ashamed of those who have nothing better in their soul than to criticize you or anyone else. The year after I lost my dad, I quite frankly lost my mind. I was just lost. You must grieve, whatever that looks like for you, it must happen. Don't skip a step, you will need to go through every inch of it for your own good.
I admire you ladies so much. Please know that you are very special to us.
May God give you strength and the peace that only He can give.
Love your comment hunny! hugssssss
Amen! 🙏
You both are awesome. Good daughters, good humans, fantastic entertainers.
You both did what ya’ll needed to do.
One of the things I enjoy is your real life relaxed Keto vibe.
You both are in our prayers.
By the way how awesome that you were able to give your dad joy with your channel.
You are not alone and all who have walked a similar road get it.
Thank you for sharing.
🙏🌼❤️
❤️❤️❤️ thank you for your kind words and support
I agree with you! ❤
Don't listen to the meanies. The more popular you get, unfortunately the more detractors find you. You guys are so wonderful. Thank you so much for brightening our lives even during your darkest days.
My wife and I have been ride-or-die lurkers of your channel for quite a while now. Every time we would get frustrated on our Keto journey, your videos and recipes have kept us on track. The haters can just !@#$ OFF INTO THE FOREVER. Please know that there are TONS of us out here who love you both unconditionally and live for your videos. Big hugs to you both...
My name is Mark. I am a professional house painter who loves to garden and cook
Your video concerning your father and your journey through the end of his life was very touching.
You guys have been a big inspiration, and I will continue to enjoy watching your videos.
I love your humor and the way you play off each other. You showed courage and strength throughout your journey with your father .
I know you will use that same courage and strength to continue with your TH-cam channel. Your father will continue to be proud of you both. Keep up the great work keto twins. Manny prayers for your family.
Your youtube friend Mark
❤️🙏❤️
That’s sweet❤️
Grief changes your life and it takes a few YEARS to recalibrate. You keep focusing on your needs before ours. I'll be here.
I am COMPLETELY blown away that you were able to continue filming at all during that period of your lives.
And I am so sorry for your loss. ❤
Im so sorry.
You ladies don't need to explain yourselves at all!! Even if you gained 200lbs we'd understand because what you went though was horrible!!! Shame on those commenters making comments about your appearance!! Literally made me yell at my screen, makes me so mad!!!
Take as much time as you ladies need to grieve-
Bless you both for honoring, respecting, and caring for your beloved father❤ Well done.
My dad died in 2022. There are NO healthy options at hospitals past the day hours. My parents were married 62 years. Between running to the hospital, being there for my mom, as the only girl and oldest a lot fell on my shoulders. I was also babysitting two infants ( I needed the income). It was NUTS. The aftermath of his death was my mom devastated, selling the family home, I spent hours visiting my mom, making meals and delivering them, watching TV with her. These past two years have been a struggle. I really had no time to care for myself.
In the past two years I’ve gained back 50 pounds of the 95 I lost. I do wish it was only 15lbs.
I sat with my dad as he died and there when he took his last breath. I had sent my mom home who looked like she was going to die from worry. There is nothing pretty about witnessing a death, it’s not like the movies.
I know I will get back on track. Sometime we all need to give ourselves the grace we need. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
I’m so sorry… you are an incredible daughter and woman.
I am so sorry for what you went through. You are so strong! Thank you for sharing 💖
The fullness of life includes death, but also belly laughs and tears, and plain old mundanenss. There is no way any of us, your subscribers and fans, could imagine what this cycle of life, has brought you both. That being said, your dad gave you two, both biologically and through enculturation, part of himself. It looks as though the Keto Twins are beginning again, in that fullness of life. For what it's worth to each of you, it never matters whether you "looked" one way or another. I can say this with some authority, The Keto Twins have been unique in the world of Ketogenic life. I know because I have watched a hell of a lot of them. Your videos are valuable to everyone who watches. (and supports your sponsors😉). I'd wager I'm speaking for most of your audience, that we'll take the ups and downs equally, and happily. It's 2024 now, so I'm betting your 250k goal will be accomplished this year. All blessings upon you and yours
Emily and Sarah- I am so sorry for your loss. I am 65, and still don’t feel middle aged😉I converted to Keto a little over a yr ago and have lost 45 lbs. Your recipes helped me a lot. I am also crying right now. I lost my mom about the age you are now. I lost my dad about 12 yrs later. Then, my favorite aunt was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer, ( the same one I had, when I was 42.) My uncle was 79, and she was 69. She was so sick so fast. I was retired, and I packed up my 2 dogs and 3 cats and moved in with them. Unfortunately, chemo didn’t work, and she went into hospice. I was with my uncle when she passed. I know how hard your dad’s illness was for you guys. But, he was right about you continuing your videos. You help so much with your recipes, but you always lighten our days with your humor. Looking forward to the podcast!
My husband of 40 years died in October after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He only survived 56 days after being diagnosed. So I can relate! I had a real rough patch after being on the keto diet for 6 years! My sympathy and prayers are with you both! ❤😢
My husband passed fro. Pancreatic cancer as well. 5 yrs. Ago. He lived 24 days from diagnosis. We were married 47 yrs. Jesus is sll that got me through.
Sorry for your loss.
I took care of my dad when my mom died. They were married for 60 years and so in love. The doctor said my father had COPD so severe that he had 6 months to live. I made the decision to move in with him, and he lived five years! We traveled and had fun. Then, on my 59th birthday, he went to be with my mom.
thats amazing that he lived 5 more years
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. He was only supposed to live for about a month but he went into remission and 6 months later he seemed to be doing fine. Then one Friday he saw his oncologist and came home and told my mom that he wanted to show her where all the important papers were. He didn't say anything else. On Monday morning she found him passed away in his recliner, still holding his horse racing form in one hand and a pen in the other. Cancer sucks. Losing a parent sucks. I wish I could tell you it gets easier. It doesn't really. It gets to the point where you can finally look back on the past with your dad and smile instead of cry at his absence but that will take time. But, it sure sounds like he was awesome and he obviously loved you both and was so proud of you. Keep that in your hearts. It helps.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm excited at the prospect of you having a lifestyle channel! So many possibilities. I hope you don't let people's harsh words bother you. Just know that there are another 99% of your viewers who absolutely adore you and support you! ❤ Praying for you and your family. 🙏
My dad had colon cancer at my wedding and rolled him down the aisle with me. His Dr. Told me he lived longer so that he could see me get married. He died two weeks after. Like yours, my dad was a very special man. I am sorry for your loss and know that at some point, you will smile at the memories instead of cry. You are both wonderful daughters and he was proud of you. That is wonderful.
I love you both and people are cruel. I just lost my dad and I'm a mess. I miss my Dad so much. I understand: how you feel. I couldn't tell you gained weight or you skin was having issues. Those kind of people are A-Holes. Luckily you girls have each other ❤❤❤
@@1963freemanfulI'm sorry for your loss- I know it's so difficult. 💔
@@CoalMiningAlchemist thank you🤎🫂
People who criticize you can eff all the way off. I lost my Mom in November 2003 and in February 2004 I was diagnosed with an immunity disease. I fully believe it was my body reacting to the stress of her death. Everyone responds to grief differently. Thanks for sharing this with us. Continued healing to your family and know that there are people out on the internet who truly care about you. 💙💜
Amen to that
Ditto!
Emily and Sarah - I am new to your channel - I've seen a few videos over the years, but in recent days I started following more low carb and keto youtube channels and your "we need to talk" popped up. Wow. First of all, my deepest condolences for your loss. My goodness, you have been through so much. My Dad passed a year ago - and he declined very slowly over the course of 5 years (he had dementia) and when our parent's decline - it's a stressful, emotional time. Thank you for being real. I TOTALLY understand weight gain and skin issues - and it broke my heart to hear that people said critical things of you. That is so shallow. The truth is - eating healthy, following keto, low carb, low glycemic, etc. IS A PROCESS. Life interrupts us all the time. I'm grateful to you both because it encourages me that I am not alone in the struggle.... that life throws you curveballs and your diet will fluctuate. God bless you both - and again sorry for your loss. You could tell your Dad was very special. :)
May those that have made these horrible comments never have to face the tragedy of losing someone so close to you.
It takes a very long time to not want the world to stop and notice a wonderful person is no longer with us. Live each day completely... love and laugh with everything you have. Dream of your father and relive your beautiful memories! Xo
Wanting the world to stop and notice the loss of such a special human is so real.
Xoxoxo
I’m glad that you made this video. I was an only child and when I was 59, I got a call from my mother’s oncologist telling me that she would have to be in hospice due to lung cancer. My wife handed me a box of clothes & my insulin and said go! I spent the next few months taking care of her before she passed. I was lucky to have the support of my wife and two daughters, just as you had with your sister(s). I’m now LCHP and have lost between 70-80 lbs. and finally got my diabetes under control. All I can say is it eventually gets better!
You are a blessing. My husband of 34 years died in 2020 after many years of illness and disability. I started watching you somewhere around that time. I appreciate you and adore you. You have been a bright spot and a joy in my life though some of my darkest years. I am so grateful to you. Your dad was awesome. My husband's personality was similar. He was sweet and funny and not Mr. Fix-it too. Your both so beautiful, super smart and seem to understand that critical, insensitive people are damaged and how their lack of restraint and officious
Sarah and Emily, I'm so sorry for your loss.
As a person that has taken care of both my mom and dad, and also my father in law I know where you're coming from.
I told my FIN, that it was an honor to have taken care of him and my parents.
Just remember this, God chose you, you've completed the mission, and given much honor to your family, especially your dad. God bless you both. You are lovely and beautiful inside and out. Love you guys!
My sister and I are 70 year young identical twins. You beautiful ladies have been a Godsend to us and thousands of other people. We went through much your same journey in 2017-18 with our dad. God bless you both for your love and compassion. May your journey continue to bless others.
Omg, i thought that was Burt Renolds when you showed the 60 minutes video. He was a handsome man. He was fortunate to have such caring daughters. It shows what a good dad he was. God bless your mom and you.
I can't believe how rude and nasty people can be. Even if you weren't going through hell. You're beautiful inside and out❤
I told them the same thing, I thought it was Burt Reynolds too!😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My condolences! People online can be jerks! I hadn't noticed any weight gain. At your height 15 lbs. is nothing. Your dad sounds like a great guy!
You deserve ALL the grace. Anticipatory grief, layered into caregiving, is exhausting! Many of us have been in that position and we get it! I'm glad your Dad got to see your videos; that's so special.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I haven’t noticed weight gain or Emily’s skin, but even if I had, I certainly wouldn’t comment. You two and your channel are a joy.
Absolutely nothing wrong with your skin , some people are just mean 😢
My dad died 4 months ago on my 60th birthday. I had been working three days a week and driving 4 hours one way to help take care of him for the other days. Yes. I gained weight, too, and only half-a$$ed my keto diet. I wouldn’t trade one pound or fifteen for the time I had with him. I thought I knew how much I would hurt, but the depth of my sorrow was unexpected. A friend told me that my dad was obviously a good man to inspire so much sorrow. I still cry on nearly a daily basis. I hold you guys with me now when I miss him. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
People are rude. You two are both beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer is horrible. My father is battling it now.
Hugs and love 💕
At 74 years old, I am living without my father and mother. I lost a sister to breast cancer. One thing you two have of your father is a love of life. What we all should do is live the best life that we can to honor our parents gift. I see this in you two.
I’m 77 lost my mom, dad and older (by 4 yrs) best friend/sister as well in last 6 yrs. I miss them all but glad I moved in with my mom and dad before they passed.
Big hugs!! I took care of my dad before he passed. You two are such a blessing to us in the keto community! What a sweet tribute to him!
My mother passed away from cancer (,brain) in June of 2022. You are not alone and I appreciate your story. I have gained 15-20 pounds since my mom left this world. I have been emotionally eating, and I'm trying not to drown. Slowly things will change and I hope the best for you both!
The like button for this video is actually a hug button. You two have brought us so much joy and happiness with the recipes you have shared. Thank you so much for being great people!
Yes. Definitely a hug, love, and support button. Well said!!
Having worked in oncology and also being a survivor that will always have a type of melanoma present (also not curable...treatable), I want you to know how moving it is for you to share this. Thank you. You take care of your family and of each other. So glad you had the opportunity to spend the time you could with your father. You are not alone.
Thanks so much Rachel, wishing you the best
I think you women are the bee’s knees ! I am so sorry for your loss but please know not all people are critical of you. Life is a roller coaster and you are handling it like a marvelous human being. I am 70 years young and love to see you create your videos. I lost my 96 year old mother in November of 2023. We must feel deeply and carry on the best we can. 💕
I have a blood cancer too. The transfusions are an all day event. I was scared to get a bone marrow biopsy because of the bad reviews on the Internet. It was a piece of cake. I didn't feel a thing. So if anyone is avoiding because they are scared go for it. I love that you were there for your parents. They raised beautiful daughters inside and out. God bless you and your family.
I'm very sorry for your loss. You are not alone. Praying for you both.
❤️❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. You two have helped me so much since the fall of 22 when I was hospitalized with uncontrolled diabetes. Since that time, going “dirty keto” as you call it, along with intermittent fasting I’ve lost 130 lbs. I can honestly say that you & four other TH-camrs were my inspiration to finally take my health serious.
You both sound like you were phenomenal daughters that stepped up like family should and not only made your Dad your top priority but never let him feel like a burden. God bless you both & please never, ever let comments about your weight or appearance make you feel badly about yourself. The only thing that truly matters is your heart, and obviously you both have enormous hearts!
Thank you for sharing & thank you for the help you’ve provided me! You also created a lot of revenue for the Dash company. I bought seven different mini-waffle makers to make your dang chaffle recipes! 😂
Name idea: "Real Life with the Keto Twins"
Great title! So grateful that you two don't sugar-coat how you handle life's stresses.
You are both rays of light on TH-cam! You are stronger than you know. Your dad sounds like a remarkable and loving man. Hold on to your precious memories of him. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing what’s been going on. You have a lot of support out here! You are loved! 🥰
This episode had me in tears! My mom passed away from ovarian cancer a few years ago and it was an extremely difficult situation to go through.
My heart & prayers go out to you beautiful ladies.
Thank you for sharing such a difficult story with all of us❣
I completely understand, y'all. When my brother died I stopped wearing makeup for work because I was sobbing uncontrollably seven or eight times per day. Then I might be hysterically laughing about something adorable he did or said while he was dying of kidney cancer. Then I'd see someone on the street who looked like him and I had to circle the block to get one more look at "him". The roller-coaster of emotions does diminish over time, but it takes months to years. Don't worry about us. Take care of yourselves and don't let anyone on TH-cam add one molecule to your burdens.
Ladies.....WHAT WONDERFUL daughters you are. I had 1 child that got an aggressive cancer in 2015 at the age of 34. We quilt our jobs and went to California to help his wife and 4 daughters. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and ended up gaining 100 pounds that year. He died 10 days before his 36th birthday. 9 years later I still struggle. This is a journey to move forward again. It will take the time it takes. Hugs and prayers as you Navigate these coming years.❤❤❤❤❤
I never noticed any differences. I just appreciated your content, recipes, and definitely your awesome, goofy sense of humor.
I was 46 - 49 yo when my parents began declining. I gained over 20 lbs during that first 4 months. I still struggle with my weight. I am not keto, but in my efforts to lower my carb intake, I try to have low carb options. That's why i follow you.
You make a difference in my life because of your content, not your perfectionism.
Life is so f*g messy. It is the worst when you are watching those you love transition from this life to the next.
Please take time to heal and hold your family close. It's not easy mourning.
I'm not going anywhere. Do what you need to in the best way you can. You are enough just as you are.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you. God Bless you both & Mom too.
Lost my Daddy in 2017 to lung cancer so I can relate. I was 55 at the time but I was still his little girl. To all the people who feel the need to boost themselves up by pointing out that you gained a little weight or had skin issues...go get a life. Girls, you are both beautiful and this will get better. I don't focus now on the months leading up to his death now and you will get there, too. Prayers and love to you both.❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢 my mother passed away from this. You are both so beautiful, and don't let anyone get you to think otherwise.
AML is rare, and yet so many others have been affected in our community. ❤️❤️
Wow, you two just described almost exactly what happened to me and my sister. We lost dad from a form of leukemia in 22, and helped my mom through it, while having lots of other things going on in our lives. I understand your story completely and my heart goes out to you both. What endures is the amazing love and life we shared together. Priceless!
Thank you for sharing. Life is hard sometimes and we cope with it in myriad ways. Not one of the mean commenters would handle cancer any better than you did.
I will continue to follow you in all your platforms. Your dad would be so proud of all you are accomplishing.
Sending love.
❤️❤️ thank you
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute to an amazing man that you two are.
❤️❤️
My heart is with you. I was with my Dad until he took his last breath. I was holding him while I played his favorite Hawaiian music. I gained 20+ plus pounds, the stress catapulted me into menopause believe it or not. My husband is my no. 1 cheerleader throughout. I understand and so grateful for your channel. It’s disappointing that some people are so ignorant and insensitive. I’m with you ❤ I’m gradually losing weight and I’m happy about that.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have watched my Mom die from lung cancer, my birth-mom die from pancreatic cancer, and my step-mom die from metastasized breast cancer that spread to her spine and skull. My father also died suddenly less than a year before my step-mom died. As I watched today it brought all of that back. I feel for you both so much. I know how hard it is to keep giving 100% to your work, and when you are grieving and going through this stuff. It takes more than you have. I want you both to know that I so enjoy your videos and that you are not alone. Sometimes our self-care suffers. Love to you both and your family.
Wow, we are so sorry for all of your losses. Thank you for your kind words
My condolences to all of you.. 💔❤️🩹I don’t know how you guys kept working… i had to quit when my father was passing away in the hospital… you guys are tough! It would be appreciated to talk about grieving and self care… it’s part of the journey.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a nasty thing. One thing no one tells you is that when someone is diagnosed with cancer no matter what type, even if it does go into remission or you're cancer free, it can always come back. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in March of 2022 cancer free at the moment, but I live in fear. Your dad was a cancer warrior. Sending positive vibes ✨️
I pray you are able to change your outlook and remove the fear in your life. Love each day and those around you. Have a positive attitude. Fear and stress attract illness. Even if you don’t believe that statement, if you refuse fear, you’ll feel so much better. Nobody has a guarantee of anything in life. (I had a very rare ovarian cancer. I’m 10 years past chemo and doing great. I was told my particular cancer had a high probability of returning within 5 yrs.. I actually told my doctor nope….been there, done that, it won’t come back. Don’t worry.) But that’s me. I’m 77yrs old, no medications and healthy lifestyle. But I attribute my health to my mental attitude. Of course, when our time is up, it’s up. But if you’re in remission, keep a positive attitude. You’ve been given a blessing. Good luck yo you ❤️
Ladies, this video is the first time I have seen you. I have been keto for 5 years myself, but also like you, I have cared for my father while he died. It is more important to love your family and take care of yourselves than anything that will ever happen on TH-cam. You are both gorgeous, lovely people. I wish you well. Ignore any critics. They don’t get it.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. You hid your pain, suffering and grief well. I pray this video you made will help your healing process. You two are very creative, funny and beautiful, as well as devoted to your parents. You will never ever regret one single moment you spent at the hospital supporting your dad. He must have been so proud of you both.
You two were so strong and I am absolutely gob smacked how you kept yourselves together with so much going on. I know he is watching over you both, laughing away at what you two are up to. Know he is so very proud of you both. (I won’t say was, because his soul is still very much alive). I am so very sorry for your loss. My family and I will keep you two and your family in prayer. Love to your Mom as well. 🙏❤️
❤️ thank you
My husband died of pancreatic cancer 5 years ago on the 19th of this month. I can’t say that I know your experience, but I support you totally. I know your dad is so very proud of you both.
You two are the best daughters your dad and mom could ever have asked for.
Consider calling your channel name “Keto Twins Reboot “. I too regained 20 lbs during Covid after my initial loss of 75 lbs. At age 81 I still consider this a win. Your keto journey is inspirational and I look forward to continuing watching you two!
Keto twins is fine we all go up and down well most of us
I just love you gals. I lost weight in 2018 before my daughter's wedding. I gained weight after my dad died in 2019. I lost weight after that. I gained weight during cvd lockdown. I lost weight, I gained weight. Lather, rinse, repeat. Now I'm losing it again. Life happens. We keep going. Blessings to your family. ❤
You ladies are beautiful inside and out. I am 72 years old and I lost my husband 13 years ago to ALL. I know exactly what you’re talking about because I had that same experience. I had to work because I held the insurance and all I did was get up in the morning go to work, go to the hospital, which was two hours away and come home at 11 o’clock at night and get up the next day and do it all over again. there were some mean people who criticized me for not being by his side 100% of the time. My working was keeping him alive. He died on Mother’s Day and two month short of our 40th anniversary. We had planned a trip to Australia for that anniversary , and never got there. You girls helped me get my A1c levels down from 7.5 to 5.6. I no longer have diabetes 2. I love you both so much . I love your humor. I’m so sorry you lost your precious Dad. May he rest in peace.
That was a wonderful tribute!
@@kellylappin5944 Thank you so much. Being a caregiver takes a toll on your body and your mind. It takes time but you do bounce back. I am living proof that you can be happy again and my new motto is YOLO
I am so sorry for your loss. You will never ever look back and regret the time spent with your father. Prayers for you in your season of grief. Pooh on people who feel free to criticize or make unkind comments. Just POOH...
So true, thank you ❤️
I'm all goosebumps and crying for you. I just turned 80, watched my Dad, Mom, Brother, sister, Grandparents, Ex husband, AND BFF all leave, Best Friend, Barb, was the worst. No wonder I've been having trouble losing weight, never thought about it this way. You both were brave, wish I had known sooner. Please keep connecting with us, any way you choose. Love you both.
My Mum died in Sept 21, I went to visit her in June and because of covid I was stuck there 2,000 kms from home for 3 months. I gained so much weight and got so ill that by the time she died I was determined to get home and do something about it. That was the start of my keto journey, I lost 25 kilos, reversed diabetes, lowered blood pressure, gave up all medications and a very big part of that journey was your videos. I know how you both feel but want you to know how grateful I am for your channel and your recipes and your wonderful attitude and fun videos. Thank you from the bottom of my much healthier heart. Love to you both.
grief never becomes less, just less often. you are LUCKY that you had the opportunity to take care of your dying father. bless you for inheriting your dad's humor!
You two daughters did the right thing being with your dad. You will realize it was a gift. Don't let negative people get you down. Family is most important. You are still beautiful and have accomplished a lot. Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss 😢
I agree with y'all that only gaining 15 pounds is a success. You two have lots to offer this community!
Your dad was obviously very proud of y'all!
The pictures and videos were very precious! Thank you for sharing your hearts with us!
I had lost 60 pounds in 2020 and I had maintained it well. I spent 2022 caring for my husband, who had apparently sudden onset and rapid progression ALS. That was physically demanding, and I could basically eat whatever, and so when people,brought me rolls and dessert, I ate it. Once he died in February 2023, I rapidly gained back 30 pounds. Grief eating is a thing, and grief is hard. And going through caring for a person with a terminal disease will change your perspective about your why. It shakes the vanity component in a way nothing else could.
When my son died I aged a good 10 yrs, lost half my teeth from the stress, to this day I can't sleep well. I actually lost weight to the extreme. So don't beat yourselves up, this is the grief process and it's not pretty.
😟💗💗
I'm crying. I've been caring for my husband for the last 4 years, he has a rare leukemia plus is on dialysis. Every week is tracking hemoglobin and platelets, driving him to dialysis, doctor's appointments, transfusions, treatments. Like your dad my husband is the sweetest patient, even as he gets sicker and sicker. We worry that his leukemia is going to mutate, he hasn't had chemo in a year, his choice because it interfered with dialysis. And last week he was also diagnosed with melanoma and will have that removed in a few days. I really need to lose weight, but right now I don't give a hoot.
God bless you both, and your mom. I'm glad you can be there for her. Be kind to yourselves. We'll be here when you're ready.
Oh sweet ladies, I am truly sorry for the loss of your Dad! I agree he is in a better place and no longer suffering. I pray for peace and comfort to your family as you adjust to life without him.🙏 You know he is always with you in your heart. I lost my Dad 27 years ago this coming Saturday and I do still miss him, but like your Dad, he had a wonderful sense of humor too and I can think about him and my mom and still have a good laugh!🥰🤗 One last thing, I thought the picture of your Dad on TV was actually Burt Reynolds when the picture first came up but then I looked closer and saw that it wasn't. 🤯😊 I love you two ladies and can't wait to check out your new channel. How about "Twin Talk" for the name?
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my granddaughter a year ago, I've gained weight due to the stress, the medication I am taking for the depression, and not being as strict with what I ate. I've come back to your videos and am restarting keto. People can be so unkind and don't think about what people may be going through. My thoughts are with you.
How people can be so cruel and thoughtless to comment about someone’s weight or how they look? Block them. I went through a similar time with my Dad at this same time period. It is heart wrenching and how you continued to make videos is beyond me. Take whatever time you need and replenish your spirits. Thank you for sharing your story and your entire video journey. You continue to inspire us ♥️🌸♥️
Praying for you guys. I’m so sorry. You guys are so tough and I love how supportive your dad was. ❤ Also, I honestly didn’t notice and still can’t tell you have gained weight but my goodness, who wouldn’t gain weight going through that. You’re both as beautiful as ever. Thank you for sharing the videos of your sweet Dad.
❤️ thanks so much
I've taken care of 3 dieing family members. It's extremely hard. Especially when you ask for help, to get a break and don't get it. It then becomes heart wrenching.
So very sorry for your loss. It’s a hard time in your life. Give yourself some grace and time to heal and spend time with your mom. ❤ ❤
Thanks Jen, we are taking turns having sleepovers at moms ❤️
I remember when my father died, ( the funniest person I have ever known), we came home from the hospital sat around reminiscing and someone said “ should we order a pizza”. We all started laughing, it was just the perfect comment. You will recover, life will go on. You will have all those great memories of your wonderful father.
So sorry. I took care of my daughter who had cancer till she died. It’s very hard. You don’t always tell others about your life. Keep up the good work.
Ladies, you have done so well handling this trauma. Your dad was very proud of you. Every parent should be so lucky to have such loving and supportive daughters. You are beautiful inside and out. Hugs.
Thank you both for sharing such a vulnerable moment between you and your family. I'm not a "middle-aged lady" by any means, but my folks are definitely aging and it's difficult to talk or think about. In a bittersweet way, he's being immortalized every time y'all turn the camera on cause, "yes, dad, we're filming!" Also, been using LMNT every day since y'all talked about their free sample pack way back in the day - hope they keep supporting y'all too!!! Keeping y'all in our thoughts and thank you for all that y'all have done for both your family and for your not-so-small community.
Aww thank you!
I had a similar experience when my husband of 25 years was diagnosed with incurable cancer. Your struggle was mine too.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss.
First of all, no one should ever make disrespectful comments about your weight. Not ok. I’m so sorry you have had to go through all of this. My condolences about your dad. You are lovely, strong, wonderful women. I love your channel and you always make me smile! Hugs 🤗 ❤❤❤
Thank you for opening up and sharing this most difficult loss. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been trying to have this public job and going through this personal struggle. Prayers for you both.
So very sorry for your loss. Y’all are great examples of loving and caring daughters both to your Dad and now your Mother. God Bless you and your family! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, my heart. My husband of 40 years was diagnosed with throat cancer in late June, 2023. Started Chemo in early August and passed away in mid-October. Two days before my son's wedding. I totally understand the stress weight. I gave up caring what I ate. I gained 20 lbs last year. Still don't care. But I will work on it this summer. My sympathy to you two, your sister and especially your mother. It sounds like your father was such a wonderful man.
Your dad must be so proud of the way your family rallied around him. He leaves behind a legacy. Thank you for sharing this with us, especially the pictures of him. He sounded like quite a character. I'm praying for your peace and healing during this time.
I lost my Mother in 2020 & my Father in2021. It’s never easy to lose your parents. I love your channel ❤ 🙏
Ladies, do not give unsupportive people power over you. You did the exact right thing for you and your family. Watching a parent suffer, waste away, and eventually leave you is traumatic. You fell back on your coping mechanisms. Forgive yourselves and eff the haters! He was proud of you and loved that you two were doing something lasting. I love your videos and have used them for my keto journey. From one child-survivor of death-by-cancer to another. You did all the right things. You chose your dad. Your family. Don't feel like you owe any of us anything.
Sarah & Emily , I am so sorry for your loss of your dad. I have to tell you that you two got me through ‘22 to the present. My husband was diagnosed with 3 different types of leukemia. We have been through everything you have described in the video. We have been blessed with wonderful doctors. ( which truly is a God thing). He is in early stages of remission. His treatments will be finished in September of 2025.
I have to thank you so much for what your channel has done for me. You gave me support to stay Keto… I would make some of the keto recipes to have something productive to do.. I would laugh with you. I am much older than you put you both so brighten my days.
I am so angry that people are so disrespectful. If you truly have been on both sides of the weight issue you would not criticize but try to be supportive even if you did not know what was going on in your life… trust me when I say I could easily be over 300lb with all that has been going on in my life. I cherish both of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Emily and Sarah = My goodness you have been thru it! So proud of the way you handled everything. So very sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like such a blessing! He has had two great daughters and it sounds like he knew it even more once he saw your videos. What a fun thing for him to learn about at such a difficult time of his life. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. You went thru all this amazingly well in terms of Keto etc. Big WIN! You both are an inspiration to many. So glad your channel is going well. Ignore the trolls! You two are terrific.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it'll be incredibly hard for me when my Dad passes. I can't even imagine how hard this has been for you all. I hate that people left you truly horrible comments. Thank for sharing. I am just getting started with keto specifically to hopefully help with weight & health concerns. I look forward to every one of your videos I watch on both channels!
We are very fortunate that most of the comments are lovely ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for your support
