Yup, read that article, found it pretty annoying -- she took her problems with food and blamed them on keto, which frankly does a dis-service to others trying to find a way to get to a 'healthier' weight. I also thought about food constantly, but the thing that I've really realized is that I used to have thing thing where I ate bread or ice cream or chocolate and my stomach would be full, but my mouth just wanted to experience the luxury of gorging. I thought even just the desire was me being a bad weak person, but now that I limit my carbs, I don't have that desire anymore. The thing where my mouth wants more more more simply doesn't occur. It feels like a literal miracle. Disclaimer: if I have the keto chocolate bars, I can feel that urge like 15% -- so I limit them or anticipate that. And if I fall off, I just get back on the next day -- which is the real crux of the issue, just being at peace with "OK, that wasn't my ideal vision of my actions, but I can decide to accept it, learn, and keep going."
Yes it's restricting, EVERY diet is restricting, you just choose what you want to restrict. I had a friend that didn't like doing keto because she kept saying she felt guilty if she was eating carbs. I don't understand that myself, if I have carbs it's because I made the choice to have them, then I make the choice to continue eating keto.
I really appreciate your approach - the writer of this article appears to not only misunderstand how keto works, but clearly came in with very unhealthy habits already in place. They do themselves and everyone else a huge disservice by blaming keto for their bad relationship with food.
I'm with you. Just turned 72 and have finally found something that works for me. I've lost 90 pounds lost the first 50 with low carb 4 years ago I thought I was at a good weight at 185 but in 6 months the last 40 fell off with "technically Keto.. Couldn't be more excited. Haven't weight this since 6th grade. Love you girls
I lost 92lbs doing carnivore, and stalled 8 months. During the last 2-3 of those months I switched to keto, and counted carbs, but I was still not losing. I had started at 338lbs and I think that after 2 years of carnivore, my body adjusted and I needed to reevaluate what I was doing. No I didn’t gain, but at 240’s I still needed to lose. I know counting carbs only works for some people, but I understand why the lady in the article focused on her calories and macros. Some of us need to, in order to continue losing weight. We are all different and need different things. Having said that, any diet you do will have you reading labels and obsessing over numbers-keto is carbs, vegan is animal ingredients, weight watchers is fat and calories and points. It’s all relative to your goals.
Keto has actually helped me relax about tracking. For most of my life I was afraid to let go of all that. Now I think I'm done. Don't know because I don't really have a goal weight anymore. My brain has almost completely calmed down on the whole subject of dieting and weight loss. Thank you Keto Twins :)
All I can do is speak from my own experience. I've called myself a food addict all of my adult life, keto took away craving and obsession for carbohydrates. I can honestly say today that I don't live so I can eat, I eat so I can live a full life!
Keto is like skincare. It's different for everybody. You can adjust it to fit your needs. What works for you, won't necessarily work for others. I definitely don't feel deprived on keto. You can have all of the same things that you had before, you just prepare it differently. Brownies, pasta, bread, or whatever. It's a shame this woman feels this way about keto, but hopefully she will find a lifestyle that will suit her needs better. Great video ladies!
I get kind of annoyed when people say that keto is so restrictive - I don't really see it as any different from anything else. Most non keto people eat carbs but restrict fat (probably unconsciously most of the time). I see it that through doing keto, I'm just making the choice to prioritize other food groups. And yes, at the start it was a bit hard - but mainly from habit and convenience. Now I know I can totally live without bread or a potato. I don't even notice the lack or care about it. But I'm certain that if I had to restrict fat again - it would suck all the joy out of life 😆
I’m with you two. After 50 years of diets, keto has been the best dietary lifestyle for me (for weight loss and to manage my diabetes). Love your videos! Thank you😊
@@NavyWife I take it too, but it's not enough. After a video from Sten Eckberg, I'm also trying to make sure I have sufficient zinc. And a church friend used to take quinine years ago, until it became unprescribable. I picked up some diet tonic water today... we'll see.
I tracked religiously for about six months just to build the intuition. I was actually not eating enough when I tracked my regular eating at the beginning. I was dang near starving myself at about 500cals/day because I rarely bothered to eat. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, just didn’t prioritize my own needs. I’m now down ~75 lbs and quit tracking quite some time ago. This is how I’m going to live the rest of my life and won’t obsess over it forever. That’s the beauty of keto, both me and my body know what to do!
Keto and IF can destroy your relationship with food if you’re using food for entertainment or an emotional crutch. IF made me realize I was eating not when I was hungry but when I was bored or just wanted to eat. Keto made me realize that I was eating way to many carbs. The two together made me realize I had to eat mindfully with more meat and more vegetables and cut out processed foods and simple carbohydrates.
Just fyi, for many people, keto helps you to feel full, but you still can overeat, especially when people have been binge eaters, or emotional eaters. So, if people stall out on losing weight it would be important to track and weigh your food. I agree with the twins that this article is crazy and she clearly hates keto or dieting at all.
What a surprising and confusing article- out of the 1000’s of diets out there, keto is the LAST one I’d say would make someone hyper focused on calories. That’s the entire upside!! It sounds like the writer either has a hate on for keto, or it’s the only diet she’s ever tried. I mean.. ?? Most variations of keto don’t even suggest tracking calories at all. If she’s triggered with keto she’d really have a problem with “traditional “ dieting 🙄
That’s why we wanted to share this article, I think keto goes through positive and negative news cycles.. and now we are in a negative cycle again 🙈-Em
I used to follow a Paleo diet for a while. I came across an article that was very similar. It was a women who went so strict on paleo, she lost her period and gave up paleo. It wasn't paleo that did that her. It was her severe food restriction. You can take any diet to the extreme, which is not healthy.
What I learned the most on keto was how and why to avoid scrappy plant based oils and other inflammatory foods. I am now technically low carb😆 and try to keep the carbs realistically lower and balance out the rest. Calories do count on me as I am only 5'3" so like you said...do you and find the balance.
"Being NOT hungry is an amazing thing." AMEN!! This way of eating is brilliant, and the fats are so delicious and satiating that I don't even miss pasta, bread, or sugar. I think people are afraid of fat, but people, it's the proper human diet. Fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to sustain life, carbs are NOT!
Yeah, I never tracked calories on keto!! I LOVE what the keto diet has done for me to educate me about the “garbage” that food manufacturers have put into our food!! If keto destroyed their relationship with food, that person has greater problems! I love you guys - Keto Twins!! Thanks for going through this!
I am with you two. I absolutely love the fact that I am not hungry all the time. And....I love all my free time now that used to be wasted thinking about, planning, preparing and eating food. I feel so much better I will never go back to my old way of eating. I derail from keto occasionally but I know the secret to successfully sustaining a healthy weight.
when I first read Your click bait title ;-) I thought "well isn't that what keto is supposed to do? wreck our nasty, consuming, addictive obsession with food??" Then I heard what You were saying the article actually said and I had to agree with You both.... That person still has a completely sick relationship with food and therefore I question that they have ever become fat adapted. Once I became fat adapted, like You both, I have no cravings and little hunger. I think they need to actually give self control a try and stop blaming... NICE Job Ladies!! You are doing a great job! Glad You are getting sponsors to help compensate in a small way for all the work You put forth encouraging Yourselves and others!! KUDOS!
I have found that the Keto lifestyle has been so freeing for me. It is what you make of it. Life without carbs is ok with me. Being 45+lbs lighter and healthier than I was a year ago is way better than any carbie food in my book. Thanks for being you, ladies and inspiring. 😍😁
There's a bit of a learning curve, but a keto diet can have quite a lot of variety if a person wants to have the variety badly enough. I've seen loads of recipes that I would have never dreamed possible. I don't care enough to make most of those dishes tho. I go for about a pound of meat per day and use chaffles & fake bread to fill the rest of the way, maybe some bulletproof coffee. I think you're right about it saying something about the author. It is very liberating, and I doubt I ever go back to eating the way I did before.
to stop a sugar addiction is hard, but not having bloat or reflux is wonderful. i agree not thinking about food all the time is more fun and takes less time, inlike to enjoy food and not feel guilty about eating.
I have Dr. Westman's voice in my head everyday (like Jimney Cricket scolding Pinocchio). 20g total carbs (not net) eat whole foods (no keto bars) and wait until you are slightly hangry to start eating (extending your fasting window each day). I rarely make good, but laugh at myself and say well that was a 40g day, or NFL Sundays with beer is at least "ONLY" 50% of my calories came from carbs and laugh. Next day I get up and (like Pinoccio pushing on his extended nose) push my belly upward in the mirror and live to fight another day.....
If I eat protein every time I eat I stay satisfied in general. I've always been all or nothing type but not always being hungry really helps my ability to be balanced
I am new to the ketogenic lifestyle. I go into it to combat the spikes in my blood sugar. My Doctor suggested that I learn a but about keto, and after four months limiting myself to just 30 grams of carbs per day. Doing that has enabled me to lose 60 pounds, cut my daily insulin dose in half, dropped one diabetes med, and cut the dose of another med in half! After 40 years of failing on the "low fat" diet, keto is a wonderful thing to learn. Even my co-workers have noticed the change in my personality, I'm much more "Santa"-like. No more "hangry", nor more thinking constantly about food. I LOVE it! I am really excited about this particular video, because the it was filled with great ideas, so I had to share a bit, and then say, THANK YOU!!!! Your sharing has allowed me to be part of this healthy adventure.
I agree with you guys. Thus lifestyle is a winner. It works well for me. Thank you for great content. Food is food. I rarely think of food snd eat when I’m hungry. Usually once a day
Thank u for making these videos. I have been on keto for 3 and a half months, and I can be prone to obsessing about eating food and not eating food. So it has really helped me to be able to relax about it. I don't like the terms "cheat" or "slip up" to describe when I eat something that is not keto. It makes it sound like I did something bad or out of my control. Instead, it is just a choice I made in that moment, and the next moment, i can make a different choice.
The person who wrote this article obviously had a dysfunctional relationship with food in order to be 120 lbs over weight. Her dysfunction just continued while on keto. She needs to see a psychiatrist. Or she can go back to her previous lifestyle and regain the 120 lbs.
So agree. Losing 120 lbs wow. What’s enough? Getting what you think you want: will not correct your personality short comings. Focus on nutrition get over “over-obsessing”. I’m a senior and Keto/LC has changed my life. Repeat: Changed my Life.🙂
I can so relate to the lady in the article! I was normal weight almost all of my life. Twice I gained 35-42 lbs, got it off & kept it off for years. In my 40’s I had a trifecta of huge emotional losses. I gradually filled all of the holes in my life with carbie food-like substances, bingeing and dieting. Despite the “dieting” I averaged a 7 pound gain every year for 10 years = 70 pounds. I am not tall and have a small frame. Gradually, I got to the point where my knees hurt so much that I sat most of the time. I gradually gave up gardening and started a side gig making decorated cookies, eating the “mistakes” until I became borderline diabetic and in need of knee replacements. I started keto January 1st 2018 to lose weight and avoid knee surgery & diabetes. I wasn’t happy about it but I knew I had to. I brainwashed myself into sticking with keto by watching keto & human evolution TH-cams. Also by forcing myself to eat meat whenever carbs tempted me. I VERY depressed about giving up decorated cookies, the creativity and the online community of Cookiers. Losing 50 lbs didn’t help my knees enough. I had one knee replacement and was able to garden again with gusto! The constant “parade of carb junk” in my head was replaced with flowers 💐 🌻🌸. I kept the 50 off for 5 years and gradually began making too many carb exceptions & mini binges. Thank goodness I found you, Emily & Sarah❣️Everything you say & do is helping me stop the regain and lose by becoming Technically Keto! I now accept the fact I need to make this my forever lifestyle. You both are brilliant and effective with your honesty, sharing your experiences and adding the new things you are still learning 👏👍🏻🌟 Thank you so much ❤
My opinion is the author has an obsessive personality. I obsessed like this while on WW, DW, OA, etc. It was food 24/7 because I had to plan, shop, cook, blah, blah, blah! When switching to low carb/keto, I found myself calm thinking about food for the first time. Btw, I'm not a few lbs overweight...try 160...and still I find this lifestyle easier and better. I can't do 20 carbs... ok, no problem! I allow more carbs but healthy ones not processed. If I crave a banana or oatmeal, I have it. I don't have it again for weeks but sometimes you have to allow that crave just don't go crazy. As you said, my 20-30-40 carbs per day is way better than my previous hundreds per day!
You ladies play such an important part of my Keto journey. I'm still a newbie (14 wks very clean Keto, only because sweeteners, regardless if alluose or sucrose, are a SUPER trigger). I can easily go down the Black/White Rule rabbithole with various TH-cam channel content. I watch a few regularly, and your real life tested opinions keep me more balanced. Technically Keto t-shirts....VERY cute!
I sometimes hear 'life's not worth living without all the good stuff you can't have on keto' from people around me. In my opinion, life's not actually possible long term with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and hardening arteries...I'm happy to say no to shortened lifespan, bottles of medication and plus size clothing for a few less choices at the table. It's all in the priorities for me.
If they were 100+lbs overweight, their relationship with food was already ruined. I read it, too and found it completely ignorant. I love your approach, ladies!
Being in ketosis feels like nothing not full or hungry, 💯❗ And I'm so happy to be free from always wanting to binge & feel so miserable. I lost a lot a few yrs ago on keto but in my mind when I reached that magical number I was done & sadly regained it all +. But thanks to y'all I have truly accepted that I will have to eat this way forever & I am technically keto. Y'all just don't know how much y'all have helped me to keep going. There is no "end" to this. And I feel so good again! Hugs! 💗💗💞💞
Thanks Ladies good job. Bottom line it’s a choice - own up. There is a price for everything. “Health is paramount.” Can not blame anyone or anything. (120 lbs what’s enough.)🤔
So happy... I think my shirt comes today!!! I'll take a picture. YOU TWO are so smart and savvy about keeping your own weight off.... do what is right for you! Get a guideline then figure out what you (individually) need to do to stay healthy!! Applause!!!
Lost 130lbs first 9 months on keto maintenance 3yrs and its the best thing that could happen for me. BUT to feel full i had to lower my fat and raise my protein. I lost too much body fat and started to lose muscle. I am a waight lifter. I need the xtra protein since my carbs are only 30%. But its the best thing ever it got my body down to under 20%.
Hi girls 👧🏻 👧🏻 I feel like keto helped me to better my relationship with food . For me , I’ve been having so much fun trying new recipes . Thank you for all you do 🌻🌻🌻
So, so True! I've been back and forth with many diets and it is a life change figuring out what works best for each person. I log everyday and aim for under 1800 calories and if I want a banana in my protein shake I don't beat myself Up! I eat clean and eliminate as much sugar as possible and add good oils, vegetables, protein and moderate fruits. I will occasionally eat complex carbs like quinoa, organic brown rice. As long as I stay away from pasties, cookies, ice cream, pizza, I am Loosing! IT is consistency and figuring out what works for you to live a lifestyle forever to keep off the Weight! You guys are awesome...keep up the AMAZING videos!
I read that article and came up with the SAME EXACT thoughts as you! I am 90% carnivore w some keto on the side. I can not eat carb foods except in rare instances. I eat sushi a couple times per month, I eat some nuts, some onion and garlic, some guac…..but yeah. Keto is limiting. Duh. No limits are the thing that made the author need to lose 100 lbs to begin with. My relationship now without bananas and sweet potatoes, and rarely rice, etc means I have lost my excess fat, I am stronger, more flexible and I feel amazing in my clothes. As a yoga instructor and a mama of 7, I know I am a good example to those who see me. And I love you two! Thanks for all you contribute to making my life better. When I am in Chicago visiting my mom, I hope I might run into you at Starbucks getting a nitro brew w some heavy cream and sugar free vanilla! LOL.
Yeah, sometimes eating keto can be challenging (like maybe in a group setting, when everyone wants pizza or something), but you learn to make it work. I switched to keto about 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. At the time, my doctor told me to cut back on sweets and the thing was, I didn't even eat sweets. I've never had a sweet tooth. What was hurting me personally was the bread, the pasta (which as an Italian-American was hard to give up!), and the rice. So, I had to find a different route. So, yeah, those carby foods might be all right for some people to eat (in fact, I know people who are healthy and practically live on carbs), but not me. And so when I switched to keto, I actually reversed my Diabetes. In fact, when I switched doctors last year, he was surprised that I even was supposedly Diabetic, because my numbers were all normal and healthy. But yeah, it's all about biodiversity -- different things work for different bodies -- at the end of the day and finding what works for you, but also making that work for your life. Do I 'cheat' sometimes? Yes. But I just got back to eating keto the next meal/day. And I don't stress about it.
I’m seeing comments about not tracking calories on keto and how unnecessary it is. That’s not entirely accurate. Consuming too much fat on Keto can actually stall your weight loss or make you gain weight if you’re not careful of the fats you consume while on Keto. Just something to keep in mind until you’re fat adapted.
I’ve been doing low carb for about 2 months now and i feel content with it. I did have one “cheat” meal last week and had some of my kids Halloween candy and it was a disaster. I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain, dizziness, and vomiting. The worst!
I have explained the caution keto people feel about the in or out of keto eating. It is a different mechanism from other diet plans. So keto people aren’t elitist. They just don’t want to lose the keto metabolism. I’ve lost inches in fat laden places like my thighs, butt, knees and upper arms. Cannot believe those places have decreased! Yea!
I'm allergic to wheat, not Celiac's but stomach troubles, and this way to eat has given me more energy just because I don't have stabbing pain or multiple, emergency trips to the bathroom.
In AA (alcoholics anonymous and food addiction) the recovering people say that abstinence removes the pleasure of their addiction. They can't get the same pleasure as before getting clean. 12 Step Program helps them find joy in their life again. It's not shameful to admit you are powerless over wanting to be fulfilled from outside stimulation. That's the 1st step to recovering. Hope she can get a handle on Real fulfillment 🙏🏼❣
You girls are absolutely right! You have to restrict for the rest of your life because we live an a time where abundant food is accessible. Our ancient ancestors used to have periods of plenty and famine, and we are hardwired to instinctively store up in preparation for a famine. We no longer “currently” experience famines, so we have to restrict our diets to avoid obesity and food related diseases. All the blue zone areas where people live super long lives have one thing in common; they all eat calorie restrictive diets.
The author of the article was probably a free lance writer that was hired/paid by either the sugar industry or main stream food manufacturers or some other diet program or maybe even Jillian Michaels 🤣!!
I love the way you beautiful ladies think. I heard you in my head when I went out to dinner with my Mom and she wanted to go to Olive Garden. I said ok skip the bread do salad and ok to the pasta just eat all the chicken and just some pasta. Tomorrow make it a OMD day and I still lost 2lbs that week. 🙌GOAL!!!! I did not shoot my self in the foot and keep going. All about choices do your best to make good choices 90% of the time or more
Thank you for this. With Thanksgiving this week and the high possibility of formerly favorite foods in a stressful family environment, I was feeling anxious about a game plan. We are going to make sure there are items we feel good about available and if there is a slip up, it’s not the end of the world. All or nothing is a hard mentality here too, thank you.
❤❤❤ I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH! Your message today was so powerful and it just fuels me even more. I cannot thank you enough for your videos that have not only educated me, inspired me, and made me laugh, but that have also helped me to build my confidence and to "feed fear a suck-it sandwich" (awesome words and inspiration from the fantastic, @jensincero ) 😊 A thousand thank you's to Emily and Sarah! 🥰🥳🤗
I find keto restrictive because I'm completely changing my diet. I haven't been big about veggies. What helps is not caring if I'm clean or dirty keto. I also move between low carb and keto. I do feel really good when I'm in ketosis. It is getting easier as I learn.
The Keto Twins are amazing. Great information, great inspiration, and great demonstrations of cooking keto. I love hearing about your personal experiences. I feel happy after watching your videos. Thank you!
It's funny, but keto actually *healed* my relationship with food. I actually enjoy cooking now, look forward to trying new recipes, eat without binging or feeding guilty, and feel more healthy overall. And yes, no more hangry!!! I track on My Fitness Pal because I've found it a helpful daily habit to keep that self awareness going. I hope the lady who wrote the article finds peace with food. It sounds like she needed some counseling in combination with the diet.
Hey Keto Twins! I'm a new here and subscribed. I really took a liking to you two and been watching a few videos so far. I been off of Keto for a 1 1/2 year. Gained about 15Ilbs. You two are motivating. I like the idea of taking each day at a time. Back then I bought a Vitamix blender stumble across it yesterday while decluttering. What a sad moment. I'm going to try out some of your recipes. That tomato soup looked good. Thank you both for helping us out!!!!!
In life, you have a few choices after falling off the wagon you can either stay off it, or get right back on it. At the end of the day, it's your life, so live it how you want to live it.
Love this video. This subject and your delivery is, I'm sure, so helpful to others making this transition and maintaining it. Helped me to "recenter" and again realize to not over obsess.
I was a sugar and carb addict. It was like a drug for me to boost my mood.I struggle with depression. I went for treatment for depression to get that under control. I started keto and now am not continually having sugar and carb cravings.
Great video ladies. People so badly want to find fault with something so they can continue the bad behavior. I would love to to hit 20 carbs a day, but I feel lucky when I come in at 40 and the occasional day when I’m carbs 60+. I still eat the things I like just in different forms. Thanks to some amazing substitute items like EggLife wraps. I’m leaning towards carnivore more now and it seems to help me feel content.
Ladies! Outstanding. I try to do OMAD but sometimes it just doesn't work out. So i try to keep boiled eggs and bacon in the fridge. If there is bacon in the fridge, it's almost certain i will snack. BACON! 😲🥓 ...................................... 😎👍👍
i very strongly feel that this article is meant to draw people away from keto, to scare them off because keto really works. Many other diets and health structures are not getting as much business when we find success with keto. Our whole lives we have been trained that we need to eat a lot every day, we can’t survive without carbs and we will become seriously unhealthy with fatty meals. I really hope that eventually people will read between the lines and realize this all comes down to money that tons of institutions lose from us doing keto. I was incredibly angry for a long time on how everything i was taught on nutrition was so wrong. You stop eating the carbs and sugars, you lose weight, its that simple. Now i see it for what it is. Protect yourselves, do some research, you can’t believe everything you read and hear, research 👍❤️
Low carb has been the first sustainable change I've ever made. I don't really monitor anything except processed foods/carbs. I occasionally eat potatoes but I don't really prefer any other carb dense foods anymore because I feel great without them. If I never lose another lb I'll still keep going because I feel good.
I hope you’re going to be making more of the shirts. The website only has white or grey and all of the large is out of stock. I’d actually love that green color I see you wearing! Please make more. Also I Absolutely LOVE your TH-cam channel. You’re helpful and motivating!! And cute 🥰
Will you please make a video on all the things you drink? . Is Mio, Crystal Light, diet soda, seltzer ok? I need something other than water sometimes. Love your videos. Thanks 😊
I tracked everything for the first 3 months so I could get a feel for it. I am back to tracking my food again because of my blood pressure. It has been high and the doctor wants me on meds. I am not ready to go there yet. I have lost 50 lbs in 7 months and still have at least 60-70 lbs to go. I feel my blood pressure will come down as the weight does. I started tracking again to see if anything I am eating is having an effect on my blood pressure.
I absolutely love you guys. You both are precious and I love your positivity. I cannot stand when people say I cheated or fell off the wagon.... { why are you on a wagon ?...lol} I love the term technically keto or ketoish. I feel that best describes my journey. IF with a side of technically keto. it is a journey called life and you have to learn and grow and change everyday. God bless you both.
First of all just found your channel and something about you ladies I like. Love the chaffles and your personalities. I don’t even do keto anymore, i carb cycle which works for me. Down 23 pounds with 10 more to go to reach my dream goal. But I whole heartedly agree with your statement on the lady that wrote the article. She seems to have an issue with food and dieting in general, and keto isn’t the problem. She will have this issue with any diet she does. But anyways glad I found you ladies! Thanks for the great content!
Read the article. Just love how they underline each stunning FACT they seem necessary to convince us Keto Bad! I feel sorry for this woman because she evidently is obsessive compulsive. She probably is in every project she gets involved. Ladies, y'all have shared your journey, the good and the bad. You have come to understand your struggles and successes. You are now at the place where you listen to your body and know what works for you. It's a lifestyle and you have chosen wisely Grasshopper! 😊 We all need to come to that realization. No one punishes me but me in this life choice. Quite frankly I choose life and a keto lifestyle has saved mine. Thank you both for sharing!

Yup, read that article, found it pretty annoying -- she took her problems with food and blamed them on keto, which frankly does a dis-service to others trying to find a way to get to a 'healthier' weight. I also thought about food constantly, but the thing that I've really realized is that I used to have thing thing where I ate bread or ice cream or chocolate and my stomach would be full, but my mouth just wanted to experience the luxury of gorging. I thought even just the desire was me being a bad weak person, but now that I limit my carbs, I don't have that desire anymore. The thing where my mouth wants more more more simply doesn't occur. It feels like a literal miracle. Disclaimer: if I have the keto chocolate bars, I can feel that urge like 15% -- so I limit them or anticipate that. And if I fall off, I just get back on the next day -- which is the real crux of the issue, just being at peace with "OK, that wasn't my ideal vision of my actions, but I can decide to accept it, learn, and keep going."
Well said I agree 100%
I don't feel that anymore either!
I love this. Ty
Yes it's restricting, EVERY diet is restricting, you just choose what you want to restrict. I had a friend that didn't like doing keto because she kept saying she felt guilty if she was eating carbs. I don't understand that myself, if I have carbs it's because I made the choice to have them, then I make the choice to continue eating keto.
I really appreciate your approach - the writer of this article appears to not only misunderstand how keto works, but clearly came in with very unhealthy habits already in place. They do themselves and everyone else a huge disservice by blaming keto for their bad relationship with food.
I'm with you. Just turned 72 and have finally found something that works for me. I've lost 90 pounds lost the first 50 with low carb 4 years ago I thought I was at a good weight at 185 but in 6 months the last 40 fell off with "technically Keto.. Couldn't be more excited. Haven't weight this since 6th grade.
Love you girls
I lost 92lbs doing carnivore, and stalled 8 months. During the last 2-3 of those months I switched to keto, and counted carbs, but I was still not losing.
I had started at 338lbs and I think that after 2 years of carnivore, my body adjusted and I needed to reevaluate what I was doing. No I didn’t gain, but at 240’s I still needed to lose.
I know counting carbs only works for some people, but I understand why the lady in the article focused on her calories and macros. Some of us need to, in order to continue losing weight. We are all different and need different things.
Having said that, any diet you do will have you reading labels and obsessing over numbers-keto is carbs, vegan is animal ingredients, weight watchers is fat and calories and points. It’s all relative to your goals.
Keto has actually helped me relax about tracking. For most of my life I was afraid to let go of all that. Now I think I'm done. Don't know because I don't really have a goal weight anymore. My brain has almost completely calmed down on the whole subject of dieting and weight loss. Thank you Keto Twins :)
Love to see that Julia! -Em
All I can do is speak from my own experience. I've called myself a food addict all of my adult life, keto took away craving and obsession for carbohydrates. I can honestly say today that I don't live so I can eat, I eat so I can live a full life!
We are former carb addicts too Bonny! -Em
I read this a while ago. The author was 120lb over weight. She had a bad relationship with food to begin with. Keto isn't going to fix that.
Housework ruined my relationship with dirt....no matter how clean I get my house this week, I still need to do it again next week...🤦🏻♀️
Keto is like skincare. It's different for everybody. You can adjust it to fit your needs. What works for you, won't necessarily work for others. I definitely don't feel deprived on keto. You can have all of the same things that you had before, you just prepare it differently. Brownies, pasta, bread, or whatever. It's a shame this woman feels this way about keto, but hopefully she will find a lifestyle that will suit her needs better. Great video ladies!
Love that Mia! -em
Oh my it did opposite for me I’m eating better than I ever did before. Feeling better too.
I get kind of annoyed when people say that keto is so restrictive - I don't really see it as any different from anything else. Most non keto people eat carbs but restrict fat (probably unconsciously most of the time). I see it that through doing keto, I'm just making the choice to prioritize other food groups. And yes, at the start it was a bit hard - but mainly from habit and convenience. Now I know I can totally live without bread or a potato. I don't even notice the lack or care about it. But I'm certain that if I had to restrict fat again - it would suck all the joy out of life 😆
I’m with you two. After 50 years of diets, keto has been the best dietary lifestyle for me (for weight loss and to manage my diabetes). Love your videos! Thank you😊
This has been the easiest thing I've ever tried, diet- wise. 4 months in, and the only problem I'm still working on is leg cramps.
Me too.
Low carb works for me too and good for pcos /insulin resistance
@@laurahudson8210 Magnesium is what I take to prevent leg cramps.
@@NavyWife I take it too, but it's not enough. After a video from Sten Eckberg, I'm also trying to make sure I have sufficient zinc. And a church friend used to take quinine years ago, until it became unprescribable. I picked up some diet tonic water today... we'll see.
I tracked religiously for about six months just to build the intuition. I was actually not eating enough when I tracked my regular eating at the beginning. I was dang near starving myself at about 500cals/day because I rarely bothered to eat. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, just didn’t prioritize my own needs. I’m now down ~75 lbs and quit tracking quite some time ago. This is how I’m going to live the rest of my life and won’t obsess over it forever. That’s the beauty of keto, both me and my body know what to do!
Keto and IF can destroy your relationship with food if you’re using food for entertainment or an emotional crutch. IF made me realize I was eating not when I was hungry but when I was bored or just wanted to eat. Keto made me realize that I was eating way to many carbs. The two together made me realize I had to eat mindfully with more meat and more vegetables and cut out processed foods and simple carbohydrates.
Just fyi, for many people, keto helps you to feel full, but you still can overeat, especially when people have been binge eaters, or emotional eaters. So, if people stall out on losing weight it would be important to track and weigh your food. I agree with the twins that this article is crazy and she clearly hates keto or dieting at all.
What a surprising and confusing article- out of the 1000’s of diets out there, keto is the LAST one I’d say would make someone hyper focused on calories. That’s the entire upside!! It sounds like the writer either has a hate on for keto, or it’s the only diet she’s ever tried. I mean.. ?? Most variations of keto don’t even suggest tracking calories at all. If she’s triggered with keto she’d really have a problem with “traditional “ dieting 🙄
That’s why we wanted to share this article, I think keto goes through positive and negative news cycles.. and now we are in a negative cycle again 🙈-Em
I used to follow a Paleo diet for a while. I came across an article that was very similar. It was a women who went so strict on paleo, she lost her period and gave up paleo. It wasn't paleo that did that her. It was her severe food restriction. You can take any diet to the extreme, which is not healthy.
What I learned the most on keto was how and why to avoid scrappy plant based oils and other inflammatory foods. I am now technically low carb😆 and try to keep the carbs realistically lower and balance out the rest. Calories do count on me as I am only 5'3" so like you said...do you and find the balance.
This is an easy diet to stick to, I’m so glad I found what works and doesn’t cost a fortune, it’s just a stress free lifestyle for me.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
"Being NOT hungry is an amazing thing." AMEN!! This way of eating is brilliant, and the fats are so delicious and satiating that I don't even miss pasta, bread, or sugar. I think people are afraid of fat, but people, it's the proper human diet. Fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to sustain life, carbs are NOT!
Yeah, I never tracked calories on keto!! I LOVE what the keto diet has done for me to educate me about the “garbage” that food manufacturers have put into our food!! If keto destroyed their relationship with food, that person has greater problems! I love you guys - Keto Twins!! Thanks for going through this!
I am with you two. I absolutely love the fact that I am not hungry all the time. And....I love all my free time now that used to be wasted thinking about, planning, preparing and eating food. I feel so much better I will never go back to my old way of eating. I derail from keto occasionally but I know the secret to successfully sustaining a healthy weight.
when I first read Your click bait title ;-) I thought "well isn't that what keto is supposed to do? wreck our nasty, consuming, addictive obsession with food??" Then I heard what You were saying the article actually said and I had to agree with You both....
That person still has a completely sick relationship with food and therefore I question that they have ever become fat adapted. Once I became fat adapted, like You both, I have no cravings and little hunger. I think they need to actually give self control a try and stop blaming...
NICE Job Ladies!! You are doing a great job! Glad You are getting sponsors to help compensate in a small way for all the work You put forth encouraging Yourselves and others!! KUDOS!
I have found that the Keto lifestyle has been so freeing for me. It is what you make of it. Life without carbs is ok with me. Being 45+lbs lighter and healthier than I was a year ago is way better than any carbie food in my book. Thanks for being you, ladies and inspiring. 😍😁
There's a bit of a learning curve, but a keto diet can have quite a lot of variety if a person wants to have the variety badly enough. I've seen loads of recipes that I would have never dreamed possible. I don't care enough to make most of those dishes tho. I go for about a pound of meat per day and use chaffles & fake bread to fill the rest of the way, maybe some bulletproof coffee. I think you're right about it saying something about the author. It is very liberating, and I doubt I ever go back to eating the way I did before.
There are so many more choices now compared to even 5 years ago, great point! -Em
to stop a sugar addiction is hard, but not having bloat or reflux is wonderful. i agree not thinking about food all the time is more fun and takes less time, inlike to enjoy food and not feel guilty about eating.
I have Dr. Westman's voice in my head everyday (like Jimney Cricket scolding Pinocchio). 20g total carbs (not net) eat whole foods (no keto bars) and wait until you are slightly hangry to start eating (extending your fasting window each day). I rarely make good, but laugh at myself and say well that was a 40g day, or NFL Sundays with beer is at least "ONLY" 50% of my calories came from carbs and laugh. Next day I get up and (like Pinoccio pushing on his extended nose) push my belly upward in the mirror and live to fight another day.....
If I eat protein every time I eat I stay satisfied in general. I've always been all or nothing type but not always being hungry really helps my ability to be balanced
Sad that some struggle. I'm glad I'm now intuitive with Keto. Thank you for the content.
I am new to the ketogenic lifestyle. I go into it to combat the spikes in my blood sugar. My Doctor suggested that I learn a but about keto, and after four months limiting myself to just 30 grams of carbs per day. Doing that has enabled me to lose 60 pounds, cut my daily insulin dose in half, dropped one diabetes med, and cut the dose of another med in half! After 40 years of failing on the "low fat" diet, keto is a wonderful thing to learn.
Even my co-workers have noticed the change in my personality, I'm much more "Santa"-like. No more "hangry", nor more thinking constantly about food. I LOVE it!
I am really excited about this particular video, because the it was filled with great ideas, so I had to share a bit, and then say, THANK YOU!!!! Your sharing has allowed me to be part of this healthy adventure.
Keto changed my life in that I don't live to eat ,I eat to live. It's such a relief not to be hungry all the time and thinking about food Every minute
I agree with you guys. Thus lifestyle is a winner. It works well for me. Thank you for great content. Food is food. I rarely think of food snd eat when I’m hungry. Usually once a day
Thank u for making these videos. I have been on keto for 3 and a half months, and I can be prone to obsessing about eating food and not eating food. So it has really helped me to be able to relax about it. I don't like the terms "cheat" or "slip up" to describe when I eat something that is not keto. It makes it sound like I did something bad or out of my control. Instead, it is just a choice I made in that moment, and the next moment, i can make a different choice.
The person who wrote this article obviously had a dysfunctional relationship with food in order to be 120 lbs over weight. Her dysfunction just continued while on keto. She needs to see a psychiatrist. Or she can go back to her previous lifestyle and regain the 120 lbs.
So agree. Losing 120 lbs wow. What’s enough?
Getting what you think you want: will not correct your personality short comings. Focus on nutrition get over “over-obsessing”. I’m a senior and Keto/LC has changed my life. Repeat: Changed my Life.🙂
I can so relate to the lady in the article! I was normal weight almost all of my life. Twice I gained 35-42 lbs, got it off & kept it off for years. In my 40’s I had a trifecta of huge emotional losses. I gradually filled all of the holes in my life with carbie food-like substances, bingeing and dieting. Despite the “dieting” I averaged a 7 pound gain every year for 10 years = 70 pounds. I am not tall and have a small frame. Gradually, I got to the point where my knees hurt so much that I sat most of the time. I gradually gave up gardening and started a side gig making decorated cookies, eating the “mistakes” until I became borderline diabetic and in need of knee replacements. I started keto January 1st 2018 to lose weight and avoid knee surgery & diabetes. I wasn’t happy about it but I knew I had to. I brainwashed myself into sticking with keto by watching keto & human evolution TH-cams. Also by forcing myself to eat meat whenever carbs tempted me. I VERY depressed about giving up decorated cookies, the creativity and the online community of Cookiers. Losing 50 lbs didn’t help my knees enough. I had one knee replacement and was able to garden again with gusto! The constant “parade of carb junk” in my head was replaced with flowers 💐 🌻🌸. I kept the 50 off for 5 years and gradually began making too many carb exceptions & mini binges. Thank goodness I found you, Emily & Sarah❣️Everything you say & do is helping me stop the regain and lose by becoming Technically Keto! I now accept the fact I need to make this my forever lifestyle. You both are brilliant and effective with your honesty, sharing your experiences and adding the new things you are still learning 👏👍🏻🌟 Thank you so much ❤
My opinion is the author has an obsessive personality. I obsessed like this while on WW, DW, OA, etc. It was food 24/7 because I had to plan, shop, cook, blah, blah, blah! When switching to low carb/keto, I found myself calm thinking about food for the first time. Btw, I'm not a few lbs overweight...try 160...and still I find this lifestyle easier and better. I can't do 20 carbs... ok, no problem! I allow more carbs but healthy ones not processed. If I crave a banana or oatmeal, I have it. I don't have it again for weeks but sometimes you have to allow that crave just don't go crazy. As you said, my 20-30-40 carbs per day is way better than my previous hundreds per day!
Love how you are making this work for you! -Em
Exactly...we didn't gain 160 Lbs on a moderate bowl of oats and 1/2 banana !
@@delindahess-sump4388 So true!
You ladies play such an important part of my Keto journey. I'm still a newbie (14 wks very clean Keto, only because sweeteners, regardless if alluose or sucrose, are a SUPER trigger). I can easily go down the Black/White Rule rabbithole with various TH-cam channel content. I watch a few regularly, and your real life tested opinions keep me more balanced. Technically Keto t-shirts....VERY cute!
Thank you so much Rebecca! You are no longer a keto newbie, many people don’t last that long! Great job! -Em
I sometimes hear 'life's not worth living without all the good stuff you can't have on keto' from people around me. In my opinion, life's not actually possible long term with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and hardening arteries...I'm happy to say no to shortened lifespan, bottles of medication and plus size clothing for a few less choices at the table. It's all in the priorities for me.
If I could only say one thing good about keto it would be achieving freedom from sugar and carb addiction.
I do a total carb cap of 30 to 40 for the days I might have keto treats or a special day, but still keep it "technically keto" 😉. Great video ladies!
If they were 100+lbs overweight, their relationship with food was already ruined. I read it, too and found it completely ignorant. I love your approach, ladies!
Being in ketosis feels like nothing not full or hungry, 💯❗ And I'm so happy to be free from always wanting to binge & feel so miserable. I lost a lot a few yrs ago on keto but in my mind when I reached that magical number I was done & sadly regained it all +. But thanks to y'all I have truly accepted that I will have to eat this way forever & I am technically keto. Y'all just don't know how much y'all have helped me to keep going. There is no "end" to this. And I feel so good again! Hugs! 💗💗💞💞
Thanks Ladies good job.
Bottom line it’s a choice - own up. There is a price for everything. “Health is paramount.” Can not blame anyone or anything.
(120 lbs what’s enough.)🤔
So happy... I think my shirt comes today!!! I'll take a picture. YOU TWO are so smart and savvy about keeping your own weight off.... do what is right for you! Get a guideline then figure out what you (individually) need to do to stay healthy!! Applause!!!
Lost 130lbs first 9 months on keto maintenance 3yrs and its the best thing that could happen for me. BUT to feel full i had to lower my fat and raise my protein.
I lost too much body fat and started to lose muscle. I am a waight lifter. I need the xtra protein since my carbs are only 30%. But its the best thing ever it got my body down to under 20%.
I’m liking keto so far. I think what I miss the most is potatoes. But I’m not stressing over counting everything. Thank you I love you guys
I would love to see a video or two of what you eat in a day (not on OMAD day).
Well said!
Hi girls 👧🏻 👧🏻
I feel like keto helped me to better my relationship with food . For me , I’ve been having so much fun trying new recipes . Thank you for all you do 🌻🌻🌻
So, so True! I've been back and forth with many diets and it is a life change figuring out what works best for each person. I log everyday and aim for under 1800 calories and if I want a banana in my protein shake I don't beat myself Up! I eat clean and eliminate as much sugar as possible and add good oils, vegetables, protein and moderate fruits. I will occasionally eat complex carbs like quinoa, organic brown rice. As long as I stay away from pasties, cookies, ice cream, pizza, I am Loosing! IT is consistency and figuring out what works for you to live a lifestyle forever to keep off the Weight! You guys are awesome...keep up the AMAZING videos!
I read that article and came up with the SAME EXACT thoughts as you! I am 90% carnivore w some keto on the side. I can not eat carb foods except in rare instances. I eat sushi a couple times per month, I eat some nuts, some onion and garlic, some guac…..but yeah. Keto is limiting. Duh. No limits are the thing that made the author need to lose 100 lbs to begin with. My relationship now without bananas and sweet potatoes, and rarely rice, etc means I have lost my excess fat, I am stronger, more flexible and I feel amazing in my clothes. As a yoga instructor and a mama of 7, I know I am a good example to those who see me. And I love you two! Thanks for all you contribute to making my life better. When I am in Chicago visiting my mom, I hope I might run into you at Starbucks getting a nitro brew w some heavy cream and sugar free vanilla! LOL.
Yeah, sometimes eating keto can be challenging (like maybe in a group setting, when everyone wants pizza or something), but you learn to make it work. I switched to keto about 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. At the time, my doctor told me to cut back on sweets and the thing was, I didn't even eat sweets. I've never had a sweet tooth. What was hurting me personally was the bread, the pasta (which as an Italian-American was hard to give up!), and the rice. So, I had to find a different route.
So, yeah, those carby foods might be all right for some people to eat (in fact, I know people who are healthy and practically live on carbs), but not me. And so when I switched to keto, I actually reversed my Diabetes. In fact, when I switched doctors last year, he was surprised that I even was supposedly Diabetic, because my numbers were all normal and healthy.
But yeah, it's all about biodiversity -- different things work for different bodies -- at the end of the day and finding what works for you, but also making that work for your life. Do I 'cheat' sometimes? Yes. But I just got back to eating keto the next meal/day. And I don't stress about it.
I’m seeing comments about not tracking calories on keto and how unnecessary it is. That’s not entirely accurate. Consuming too much fat on Keto can actually stall your weight loss or make you gain weight if you’re not careful of the fats you consume while on Keto. Just something to keep in mind until you’re fat adapted.
You're quickly becoming my favorite keto TH-camrs! Binge watching. Love your easy going non stress attitude towards this woe!
Thank you BeckyLynn!
I’ve been doing low carb for about 2 months now and i feel content with it. I did have one “cheat” meal last week and had some of my kids Halloween candy and it was a disaster. I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain, dizziness, and vomiting. The worst!
Thank you! I needed to hear this today! Calories suck!
I agree constantly thinking about cooking the next meal or snacks is just too much work for me.
Thank you for this video. You both emphasized how important it is to do what works for you. Great job Technically Keto Twins ❤❤
Thank you so much Josephine!! -Em
Totally agree with everything you say. However, some of us don't do keto for weight management but for health.
I have explained the caution keto people feel about the in or out of keto eating. It is a different mechanism from other diet plans. So keto people aren’t elitist. They just don’t want to lose the keto metabolism. I’ve lost inches in fat laden places like my thighs, butt, knees and upper arms. Cannot believe those places have decreased! Yea!
Adore you both. 100 percent agree with you.. RELAX! Just get too know yourself it’s a journey. Hugs 🤗
🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Everything you said rang true for me.
I'm allergic to wheat, not Celiac's but stomach troubles, and this way to eat has given me more energy just because I don't have stabbing pain or multiple, emergency trips to the bathroom.
In AA (alcoholics anonymous and food addiction) the recovering people say that abstinence removes the pleasure of their addiction. They can't get the same pleasure as before getting clean. 12 Step Program helps them find joy in their life again. It's not shameful to admit you are powerless over wanting to be fulfilled from outside stimulation. That's the 1st step to recovering. Hope she can get a handle on Real fulfillment 🙏🏼❣
I LOVE your balance and logic. THANK YOU
You girls are absolutely right! You have to restrict for the rest of your life because we live an a time where abundant food is accessible. Our ancient ancestors used to have periods of plenty and famine, and we are hardwired to instinctively store up in preparation for a famine. We no longer “currently” experience famines, so we have to restrict our diets to avoid obesity and food related diseases. All the blue zone areas where people live super long lives have one thing in common; they all eat calorie restrictive diets.
Thank you for your practical viewpoint! I agree 100%, keto can be easy or complicated, it's up to the individual!
The author of the article was probably a free lance writer that was hired/paid by either the sugar industry or main stream food manufacturers or some other diet program or maybe even Jillian Michaels 🤣!!
Yes! Thanks for this video!
I love the way you beautiful ladies think. I heard you in my head when I went out to dinner with my Mom and she wanted to go to Olive Garden. I said ok skip the bread do salad and ok to the pasta just eat all the chicken and just some pasta. Tomorrow make it a OMD day and I still lost 2lbs that week. 🙌GOAL!!!! I did not shoot my self in the foot and keep going. All about choices do your best to make good choices 90% of the time or more
Thank you for this. With Thanksgiving this week and the high possibility of formerly favorite foods in a stressful family environment, I was feeling anxious about a game plan. We are going to make sure there are items we feel good about available and if there is a slip up, it’s not the end of the world. All or nothing is a hard mentality here too, thank you.
We actually have a video about this! Hope this helps 🤗 -Sarah th-cam.com/video/Hc6-M9hA_bA/w-d-xo.html
❤❤❤ I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH! Your message today was so powerful and it just fuels me even more. I cannot thank you enough for your videos that have not only educated me, inspired me, and made me laugh, but that have also helped me to build my confidence and to "feed fear a suck-it sandwich" (awesome words and inspiration from the fantastic, @jensincero ) 😊
A thousand thank you's to Emily and Sarah! 🥰🥳🤗
🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much Monica!! -Em
Love your videos. You guys are so funny and fun to watch. Hope you make it to 50k real soon! 💕💗
Aww thanks Rhonda!! -Em
I have not been getting your notifications as well as several other of my favorite channels.i double checked your notifications
So weird, I think TH-cam is changing things up again! -Em
I find keto restrictive because I'm completely changing my diet. I haven't been big about veggies. What helps is not caring if I'm clean or dirty keto. I also move between low carb and keto. I do feel really good when I'm in ketosis. It is getting easier as I learn.
The Keto Twins are amazing. Great information, great inspiration, and great demonstrations of cooking keto. I love hearing about your personal experiences. I feel happy after watching your videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much Kat 🤗❤️
You two have really reminded me of the beauty OMAD!!! Thank you!!!😘🥰
This is so true before I started keto I'd eat a whole loaf of bread in a day or two could not get full
It's funny, but keto actually *healed* my relationship with food. I actually enjoy cooking now, look forward to trying new recipes, eat without binging or feeding guilty, and feel more healthy overall. And yes, no more hangry!!! I track on My Fitness Pal because I've found it a helpful daily habit to keep that self awareness going. I hope the lady who wrote the article finds peace with food. It sounds like she needed some counseling in combination with the diet.
Hey Keto Twins! I'm a new here and subscribed. I really took a liking to you two and been watching a few videos so far.
I been off of Keto for a 1 1/2 year. Gained about 15Ilbs. You two are motivating. I like the idea of taking each day at a time.
Back then I bought a Vitamix blender stumble across it yesterday while decluttering. What a sad moment.
I'm going to try out some of your recipes. That tomato soup looked good. Thank you both for helping us out!!!!!
In life, you have a few choices after falling off the wagon you can either stay off it, or get right back on it. At the end of the day, it's your life, so live it how you want to live it.
Love this video. This subject and your delivery is, I'm sure, so helpful to others making this transition and maintaining it. Helped me to "recenter" and again realize to not over obsess.
Thank you so much!
Köszönjük!
Can you eat keto bread as long as it is very low in carbs?
I was a sugar and carb addict. It was like a drug for me to boost my mood.I struggle with depression. I went for treatment for depression to get that under control. I started keto and now am not continually having sugar and carb cravings.
Thanks so much for sharing Kat! Many can relate! -Em
Great video ladies. People so badly want to find fault with something so they can continue the bad behavior. I would love to to hit 20 carbs a day, but I feel lucky when I come in at 40 and the occasional day when I’m carbs 60+. I still eat the things I like just in different forms. Thanks to some amazing substitute items like EggLife wraps. I’m leaning towards carnivore more now and it seems to help me feel content.
Every little change to eat healthier is better than nothing. I don't know why people think it has to be all or nothing.
Ladies! Outstanding. I try to do OMAD but sometimes it just doesn't work out. So i try to keep boiled eggs and bacon in the fridge. If there is bacon in the fridge, it's almost certain i will snack. BACON! 😲🥓 ...................................... 😎👍👍
🥓🥓🥓🥓🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i very strongly feel that this article is meant to draw people away from keto, to scare them off because keto really works. Many other diets and health structures are not getting as much business when we find success with keto. Our whole lives we have been trained that we need to eat a lot every day, we can’t survive without carbs and we will become seriously unhealthy with fatty meals. I really hope that eventually people will read between the lines and realize this all comes down to money that tons of institutions lose from us doing keto. I was incredibly angry for a long time on how everything i was taught on nutrition was so wrong. You stop eating the carbs and sugars, you lose weight, its that simple. Now i see it for what it is. Protect yourselves, do some research, you can’t believe everything you read and hear, research 👍❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️
Super cute merch!!!
So proud of you two 🤩
I love your channel and I agree with what you said about the comment that "keto ruined my relationship with food."
Low carb has been the first sustainable change I've ever made. I don't really monitor anything except processed foods/carbs. I occasionally eat potatoes but I don't really prefer any other carb dense foods anymore because I feel great without them. If I never lose another lb I'll still keep going because I feel good.
I hope you’re going to be making more of the shirts. The website only has white or grey and all of the large is out of stock. I’d actually love that green color I see you wearing! Please make more. Also I
Absolutely LOVE your TH-cam channel. You’re helpful and motivating!! And cute 🥰
There is a supply chain shortage so hopefully they get more in soon! 🤗❤️ -Sarah
Will you please make a video on all the things you drink? . Is Mio, Crystal Light, diet soda, seltzer ok? I need something other than water sometimes. Love your videos. Thanks 😊
Yes! we drink mostly seltzer water but as long the carb count is low enough, go for it! -Em
I tracked everything for the first 3 months so I could get a feel for it. I am back to tracking my food again because of my blood pressure. It has been high and the doctor wants me on meds. I am not ready to go there yet. I have lost 50 lbs in 7 months and still have at least 60-70 lbs to go. I feel my blood pressure will come down as the weight does. I started tracking again to see if anything I am eating is having an effect on my blood pressure.
I absolutely love you guys. You both are precious and I love your positivity. I cannot stand when people say I cheated or fell off the wagon.... { why are you on a wagon ?...lol} I love the term technically keto or ketoish. I feel that best describes my journey. IF with a side of technically keto. it is a journey called life and you have to learn and grow and change everyday. God bless you both.
Love the term Keto-ish!! :) Thanks Brandy! -Em
First of all just found your channel and something about you ladies I like. Love the chaffles and your personalities. I don’t even do keto anymore, i carb cycle which works for me. Down 23 pounds with 10 more to go to reach my dream goal. But I whole heartedly agree with your statement on the lady that wrote the article. She seems to have an issue with food and dieting in general, and keto isn’t the problem. She will have this issue with any diet she does. But anyways glad I found you ladies! Thanks for the great content!
Read the article. Just love how they underline each stunning FACT they seem necessary to convince us Keto Bad! I feel sorry for this woman because she evidently is obsessive compulsive. She probably is in every project she gets involved.
Ladies, y'all have shared your journey, the good and the bad. You have come to understand your struggles and successes. You are now at the place where you listen to your body and know what works for you. It's a lifestyle and you have chosen wisely Grasshopper! 😊 We all need to come to that realization. No one punishes me but me in this life choice. Quite frankly I choose life and a keto lifestyle has saved mine. Thank you both for sharing!
