I've been watching you for quite some time...even though I can't afford a lot of what you discuss, I just want you to know that I continue to watch because of your personality. You seem like such a genuinely kind person, so gentle and easy going. It doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous too....Believe me, I typically don't write these type of things but your spirit is just so lovely, someone you'd want to be around all day, to just chit chat or watch a movie with...Your family is blessed to have you. Have a great day!
I'm really enjoying that you have switched up your channel a little bit. I've been watching you for about 5 years and my favorite videos have always been the ones where you tell stories or give advice. You are a beautiful lady inside and out!
Right on Lisa! I am a keto girl. I am 67, and I've had 4 children. I have a very flat curvy waist and no belly fat. Everything you said resonated with me.
I love your channel! Disabled nurse here so my budget is tight. I can’t purchase a lot of the items you show. I love it when you do a lot of the more frugal items. I’m keto and down 35 lbs. 💜
Loved this Lisa! I am successfully doing Keto and am very excited because it is working so well. It is always good to hear what others who are successful are doing! Love the dresses! Thanks for sharing!
❤️❤️❤️Great video. In November 2017 I started Keto / low carb / intermittent fasting and to date have lost a little over 75 lbs. I have another 30-40 pounds to go. This eating protocol makes me feel great! Congratulations on a healthy lifestyle.❤️❤️❤️
Lisa you are just glowing today, gorgeous! back when you said your nose was swollen I thought it was beautiful. Now some time has passed and I see what you mean by it will continue to change for awhile. It has turned out just beautiful. So pretty
As soon as I saw this dress on you, immediately feel in love and thought this is one of the prettiest dresses I’ve seen on you. I think it suits you so well. What a bargain! Thank you for the diet tips!! Xx
Totally agree with you Lisa!! All the info you've given is true and direct. Its just what and how I would explain it. I gained quite a bit of weight since having both my sons and began doing low carb in 2008 and lost all the weight I wanted and have successfully kept it off since by adopting this ,not as a diet but as my chosen lifestyle .I have many people asking me how I did it and how I continue to do it . I tell them that you adjust to it and its super easy. Its a matter of your pallet adapting. Is it easy at first? NO.BUT if you really want to see results, you must work for it. People have said to me that they just don't have the will power but honestly, you grow accustomed to it. Now, when I eat anything not low carb or sugar filled, I get sick and feel sluggish. It's kind of a good thing for me bc often times it prevents me from craving anything bad. Thanks for this video because I can just refer people to it rather than having to explain all again myself, lol! Eating like this makes me feel so good both physically and externally. For anyone pondering on it, I say go for it!!! You don't have anything to lose but the weight and the feeling of being tired all the time. 😊
Janice me too. I wish it wasn’t the case but every time I start overdoing the carbs I put on weight. These videos are a great reminder. I hope Lisa does an updated low carb video. She is so inspiring 🌸💕
This is quite a bit similar to Suzanne Somer's "Somersize" diet. I lost 25lbs in 5 weeks following this "no carb" way of eating. Cravings are gone in 4-5 days and you're right......energy is way up. She has some great recipes on her site too. Fat is your friend, sugar is the enemy. I would stay away from any foods that are white (flour, sugar, white rice, etc).
Also if you want to add flavor to the cheese and meat roll ups, I like to spread a thin layer of Primal Kitchen Mayo in the Chipotle Lime flavor in between them! Its delicious, they also make just a plain mayo that I like to use too for egg or tuna salad.
also if you dont like water so much, try adding those flavor enhancers in the bottles like Mio. I use "Stur" which is made from stevia. the fruit punch flavor is good!
Love this. I mix up my own chicken sausage to taste like Jimmy Dean. Have that with some eggs. Cook a pack of chicken thighs or quarters in the slow cooker and put in freezer containers. Pull out, heat and have a little teriyaki ( one is runny and not high carb- it’s thin like soy sauce), tuna or tinned trout on salad if I don’t want chicken. Plain Italian vinaigrette should be low carb ( no need to add sugar). I’ve kept 105 pounds off and after taking dad out Friday, I am loosing the last little bit this summer. You a d Tammy have been so helpful with this. My keto is not strict, I don’t always have high fat, but it works. Add intermittent fasting and I’m thrilled. Love this, and it’s working even through holidays.
If you want to lose weight and actually understand how it works you need to learn the math & science of calories. You need to be able to read a nutrition label and understand it, and be able to understand how big your portion actually is. You also need to understand the math & science of the calories you burn every day. It's literally all math. Count the calories you are putting in your mouth, and count the calories that you are expending every day. If you burn more calories than you eat every day you will lose weight (if you want to lose 2 pounds per week you have to burn 1000 more calories than you eat a day; so if you ate 2000 calories you have to burn 3000 calories).
hayleypdowd Exactly. If you consult a professional/trained nutritionist, this is exactly what he/she will say to you. Soooo many ppl are always looking for the quickest, easiest way to shed unwanted pounds, when in reality, those quick-fix methods can actually be so very harmful to the overall health of your body in the long-term. The best weight loss “method” is the way you’ve just described. It’s not the fastest, and that’s exactly why it’s also not the easiest - and ppl get discouraged and frustrated and just want to give up. But in the long run, it’s truly the healthiest way to take off (and keep off) any excess weight. And it’s also why dieting without any regular exercise (even just a 20-30 minute brisk walk every day) isn’t the best (or healthiest) way to lose weight. Losing weight through eating right AND exercising is basically an overall lifestyle shift. And ANY exercise added to your daily routine on a regular basis will only help to improve your overall health across an entire lifetime..👍
Not sure if you have heard of the book Trim Healthy Mama. It is carb cycling and makes it very easy to do. I lost 85 pounds with it after my 3rd baby and I am getting ready to do it again after my 4th baby. The best part, I was never hungry! Check it out, it makes life so much more enjoyable!
Crafty Mommy85 I found it to be incredibly easy and the weight fell off. I have a bunch of videos about it on my channel, you have to go back about 3 years to when I started.
Thank you I will look into this. I am 4 months PP my second beautiful daughter and I just don’t feel like me in my skin right now. I will check this out!
Pecans and macadamia nuts are super low in carb . I have been keto for over a year. I do order bread from nettrition. Its only 1 carb a slice and only 60 calories a slice. You do have to toast it, but it is delish I love meat too. Thank God. But stay away from the low fat. In the long run you will gain it all back. Too much sugar in low fa foods.. Raises insulin. Which blocks fat burning.
There is a book by Jorge Cruise called The 100, its all about eating low carb no sugar and you can drop 10 pounds in a week, it also has a list of free foods you can eat , i lost 20 pounds with that book and you dont feel deprived at all, unless your a big bread eater or a cookie monster, Lisa it sounds like your doing it already, you look great,
I’m also doing Keto/lowcarb really depends on my day (where I am working etc) I have lost 12 pounds. Also you are still using Monat? I highly recommend you not using the Intensive Repair. I’m a stylist and I used it for 6 months and I ordered the IRT and it started breaking my hair off. My hair has never looked so bad. I just want to let you know not to use it. Only for bald people. Love your videos and your beautiful face!!!! You look great momma! Also my favorite cheat is the low carb tortillas and sugar free jello/pudding with fat free whip cream. The more fat you put in the more fat you flush out. The keystone urine strips are a fun way to see how much fat you are flushing out. 😘😘👍🏼😍
Hi Lisa after cutting dairy and bread it’s answered all my weight and skin issues . I’m 53 and I’ve stayed the same weight now for 5 months and cut down the gym a little too . Xxxx❤️😘
Hey Lisa! Thank u for all the good low carb tips 👍. And congrats on losing your weight 😊. The only thing I might add is that veggies, although carbohydrates are super important to include with every meal or snack. They provide important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals & fiber 👌😃. Xoxo Debbie
We have been doing keto for nearly 7 months! A couple other things I eat are pepperonis and jerky type meats not slim Jim’s but some like that have way less carbs! I’m down 38lbs jello and whipped cream helped me so much and string cheese!
Lisa I love you!! Been watching for YEARS. just got back from my honeymoon and gained about ten lbs and will be using these tips. They’re simple but they work! Happy to have the refresher :)
Low carb is the only way my body loses weight. Thanks for this video. It reminded me to quit messing around with eating habits that don’t help and get my ass in gear with what does work.
I’m almost 56 Lisa and low carb works for me like magic .... I’ve gotten so used to it and enjoy how I feel when I eat low carb that I now have to be careful not to lose too low! Thank you for sharing what’s working for you beautiful !!
Hi Lisa--First-time commenter, here...anyway...do you work a glass of wine or a cocktail into this regimen (say, on weekends) or are you an abstainer? I find if I skip even my former 4-5 glasses of wine per week, the weight comes off faster--but my social life is bland:) Let us know! I am inspired to do the SB Diet again. Low carb really is the way to go for visible results...but hard to maintain the loss long-term, when carbs creep back in.
Wanted to tell you about a drink. You may know about it already, but I thought I would mention just in case you didn't . It's Truelime and it sweetened with stevia....little packets you add to water and it has many different flavors. I find it at Wal-Mart near the Crystal light😍
Lisa I love your weight loss videos ! Did u eat breakfast for the first 2 weeks that u lost the 10 lbs ? If you didn’t it’s almost like low carb but with intermediate fasting ? You look amazing 😍😍
Lisa I have the same dress you’re wearing in a wrap style and it’s so beautiful, and the same blue and white one you held up! Such great summer dresses! Love your eating tips. I just decided to do low carb after watching this today, had some salami and cheese for a snack and going to grab some salad stuff for home. I love making a BLT with avocado salad. So delicious! Have a great week!
You look amazing!!! This is the way of eating that works best for me as well! I call it a modified Keto diet because I just can't get that intense lol. I need to drink more. Sucralose worries me for me, but I admit, a Diet Coke once in a while is a treat for me. I suppose it all balances out. LOVE love LOOOOVE the dress!
Another alternative to Atkins is the South Beach diet, which helps you rid your dependence on excess sugars and refined carbs. Has 3 phases which you cycle through as you need, but the focus is on lean protein (I do chicken, fish and meatless patties, occ. steak, but leaner cuts) and good fats, more veggies. They have packaged food you can buy from them now - but I would skip that and instead buy the book (or check out from the library) so you understand why you are cutting out some foods and gradually incorporating others. Like Lisa mentioned, Dr. Agaston, (SBD founder) usually recommends avoiding most foods labeled "low fat" due to their high amnt. of sugar. Detoxing off the sugar in Phase 1 (2-3weeks) can be tough the first time, but man, I felt great. No more mid day slump, I was tired at night when I was supposed to be, no digestive issues. I don't lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks, but I definitely go down a pant size. Then on to phase 2. You can move on to eating carbs again, but learn why you should avoid the refined ones, esp. at all three meals in one day. I still prefer my burgers "topless" and prefer the sugar free fudgesciles to the regular ones when I need a chocolate fix. Definitely check out the book to understand the science, get a printable list of foods for quick reference and some great recipes.
Thanks for the info, I am a carbaholic and never had a problem with my metabolism til I got to 49. 😫It’s probably a good idea now that I have to lose 20+ lbs to let the carbs go.... those dresses are so summer perfect!!! I’m gonna check them out. 💙💙💙
Love those dresses! Atkins sweet stuff has Maltitol which upsets my stomach too! If you are craving sweets, Lily's brand chocolate is sweetened with Stevia and doesn't upset my stomach. You can usually find them at Whole Foods or a natural grocery type place.
Thanks for keeping it real, simple, and personal. Much easier to be inspired by this video than those who have intricate meal planning and elaborate recipes and nuances (more power to them if it works for them!). I’m gonna try roll ups for lunch and stick some spinach or pickles in them. Did you say no tomato because of carbs or because you don’t enjoy tomatoes?
the only guaranteed way to lose weight is to understand the math of calories in vs calories out. you can eat healthy food all day long but if you aren't burning significantly more calories than you eat EVERY DAY you won't lose weight. i'd suggest getting a FitBit which counts your movement and tells you roughly how many calories you've burned in a day. if you compare that to how many calories you eat you may start to understand why you can't lose weight
What makes you think I can’t lose weight or don’t already use an activity tracker? I was complimenting Lisa’s approach and video, but thanks for the unsolicited and rather obvious advice!
Howdy! By the 3rd day on Atkins, I lose my appetite....I ate a lot of fish which I love....I made a tuna or chicken salad with hard boiled eggs, chunk cheese, onions and mayo. The only time I cheated was I did have my coffee in the morning with my rich creamers but still can lose 4 pounds a week ( I lost 28 pounds in 2 months)...more if I work out every day. Belly fat doesn't have to be....exercise helps so much...I do hard cardio 4 times a week and those sit-ups do wonders and I am 63! Dance! Thank you for this...this was so fun and I never saw a dress on you I didn't love.....oh that blue dress..perfection!..xx Sues
LittlePoet I have to have my creamer also. Can’t do without it. Lol I see from what you have stated helped you and as I already new that I must exercise for sure. Cardio is hard to get going but will help me if I just make up my mind to do it. Peace ✌🏼
Annie Gmail I’ve heard so much about this bulletproof coffee but have still never tried it. I think I’ll have to check it out once I get my son back to college and have a bit more time to myself. Thanks for the reminder! Have you found a good source for it..??
Thanks for all the dieting tips...Lisa try making you an egg frittata super easy and you can make it with any type of ingreds...I made one today but I did put kidney beans in it...sometimes I put black beans BUT I did have a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, ground flaxseed and raw honey...filled me up for the entire day...I enjoyed it so much I had another slice with the PBFH whole wheat toast for supper...loved all the sun dresses especially the one you had on and the one John picked out....you look gorgeous as always 💟
I have been considering keto and doing lots of research, but I will admit, it intimidates me. It seems complicated! This seems so simple and doable. Thanks for the the information!
I was craving for a salad throughout the whole video, I even ordered a salad spinner LOL. When I was little I used to wear a lot (until it fell apart) a denim dress with patched up patterns, I loved it and I'm still looking for one like that. I love my childhood!
Thanks for sharing all your tips. I am 121 lbs and use to be 5'6", but now 5'5". I will be 69 next month, so staying active and eating healthy is very important. Absolutely love the dresses. You are such and inspiration to everyone Lisa. ♥ Jan
awesome video,lisa...thank you so much.....you are so REAL! i do my own cooking and salads, but your advice on the fast food (when necessary) was excellent...you look beautiful as always!
Hi Lisa, I ordered two of the dresses. They are really cute! I ordered the pink and white stripe and the black and turquoise print. I have lost over 140 pounds following your diet. It was prescribed to me by my doctor. Thank you so much for your videos
I love those dresses...gorgeous! I try and do Lo carb during the week and on the weekend I tend to treat myself a little bit, it doesn’t make it seem like a diet that way. Xx
Hi Lisa I'm a coffee drinker and I do not like drinking it black. Would it be ok to add half and half to my coffee or should I use heavy cream? Thank you enjoy your time at the beach :-)
Lisa, the dresses are your best yet. So flattering on your figure. They suit you the best of many that you have tried because they skim over your hips. Better on you than the sheath style, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
Fruit is always allowed in my opinion. Loaded with fiber & it’s a clean food. Want to lose weight, eat whole, clean & lean. Stay away from dairy, sugar and meat. Our bodies get energy from carbs and we need them... the complex carbs! Portion control is key too. Choosing low-fat & artificial sweeteners will help you lose weight but the goal should also be health.
I love low carb! I have lost 20 pound with a low carb lifestyle. I’m feeling amazing and feel great as well. After having my baby it took me a while to get my groove back. But i feel back to myself now. A year and a half later, but i mean better late then never!! Love your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
You look great! I have been eating low carb/keto for a while and YES to the salads and sugar free jello. I have also been obsessed with cottage cheese with hot sauce and taco bowls.
Try the Body Armor Lyte! It’s a electrolyte water and I swear it taste better than any Snapple fruit flavored drinks. I keep it in the fridge at our pool bar for everyone that swims can drink. Everyone just loves it.
Thanks for sharing what has worked for you. You've inspired me to start eating to fuel my body. I want to get back on track. Thank you for keeping it real!
Hi Lisa. Where to start....first off, I think you look wonderful. Your skin is glowing. I think your makes up looks simply classy. Your eyes especially! There seem to be so many pretty dresses out now for summer. Lands End and Talbots have some sweet selections, as does J.Jill. I remember my youngest sister doing the Atkins diet after her first baby was born. She followed it to a T and she looked and felt so wonderful. She maintained her weight for two years, then came her twins. You've inspired me to try the plan. Honestly, this menopause weight is unbearable. I never had baby weight to lose, so the added pounds that are hitting me fast are discouraging. Omelet's! Duh!!! I forget about how simple and tasty they are. Carbs can be so sneaky- hiding in foods you wouldn't think. I've been reading a book by Tosco Rena (I think I've got it right) about pairing a "clean carb and a lean protein" with every meal. So much to learn- our bodies are amazing....Thanks for sharing!
I am 58 and am looking for something to help me lose this 20 pounds! I am so happy I found your video this morning because you just made my decision! I am going to start on Monday, need to get myself prepared! Love the dresses, might have to get one(or two). Have a happy blessed day Lisa........Mary
Hi Lisa, very informative video! Thanks for the tips. When you do your omelet with the low fat sharp cheddar cheese, do you use the pre-packaged shredded cheese? Also, it would be great if you could make a list of a week’s menu when you first started the diet. Thanks Lisa! Beautiful as always!
Lisa, when I want to lose weight I love the low carb diet as well, but the one I follow is by Suzanne Somers which she calls Somersizing. If you are interested you can try one of her Somersizing books, all #1 best sellers, less restrictive than Atkins.
Looking lovely here Lisa, and thank you so much for all the dieting tips, great info here :) I LOVE all these sundress, including the one you are wearing, it's hard to pick my fav, and the pockets are everything ! Wishing you well girl, take care XO
I really liked this video! Your ideas and tips for weight loss were very inspiring! I am going to watch this video a second time but with note pad so I can jot down your suggestions! Thank you!
I have tried low carb and it does okay but low calorie works SO much faster for me. I can lean down quickly if I limit myself to 1600 calories a day using a calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal.
You do what you do. And you don't have to do macros. It doesn't have to be hard, but what works for you works for you! you're beautiful and lovely and you know what's working 💞.
I absolutely agree. If for some reason I safely lose 5 lb of water weigh than that means I've been retaining 5 lb of fluid I don't need and could be affecting my blood pressure at cetera.
And Lord I hope you know that I'm not being salesy, I've been watching your channel since the early days like my gosh six seven years ago maybe longer! Given where I lived 😄😉 anyway because of my health, and you can see that if you happened to go to my channel which you DON'T have to do, I drink Ketone salts and they target the belly!!! Woo hoo!! I drink them because they're helping with my breathing disorder that I go to Duke University Hospital for. But if you ever want to try them, please ask me. okay end of commercial 😂😂😂because I didn't intend it to be a commercial 🤗🤗🤗💞. I just appreciate you so much and the fact that you're so lovely and have such a sweet heart from the south... I'm from Virginia 😉 it's just a different mentality and Ive seen you get persecuted so many times ugh, but your strength is what has allowed me to have my own channel and just know that those things come and you just let it roll you're such an inspiration 💞. And I'm 57 postmenopausal and it's reducing my belly especially that under the belly button Pooch I had two children that are 36 and 30 this month and they both were two weeks late so that is since my twenties has been an issue. So I'm just sharing that information girl to girl that's all 😂
Enjoyed your video today Lisa! Love those dresses too! Just wondering if you don't mind sharing your waist size. I am 5' 3" but around the same weight as you so wondering if the small would work for me. Is the waist tight or a bit stretchy? Thanks so much.
Hey Lisa! Some great tips! I can't have any sugar substitutes! Causes horrible bloating and pain! You look fabulous! I ordered 3 dresses. They are super cute! Hugs...xo
Thank you Lisa for sharing . I am a ww lifetime member and I still would like to lose a few extra pounds and a lot of these foods are freestyle on ww . You look great as always and I'm with you on just feeling better when you eat no carbs . Loving the dresses ! It's pretty much all I wear in the summer . You are such an inspiration and motivator to so many ! 😘
Lisa, do you have your weekend treat during the first 2-3 weeks or you start that after you finish your induction phase? Thanks for sharing! You help us so much!
Thank you Lisa! Very inspiring video. I never had problems with weight but now over 45 and struggling to loose just 6-8 pounds; sounds like 2 weeks off carbs might be what i need! Saw some criticism how bad Atkins diet is but i think it was old days version- when just fat steaks and fried eggs, modern version is full of veggies - just low-carb veggies. Kale and spinach are full of fiber, minerals and vitamins :-)
Loved this video. It really gave me the motivation to get my diet started. I love the same foods you do for low carb dieting. The dresses were so pretty. Thanks Lisa!
I do low carb and intermittent fasting. I drink water or unsweetened tea to which I add stevia. I don’t lose weight with diet soft drinks though. I’ve kept my weight off for a year so far. I lose weight opposite from you, I think. I lose weight in my arms and chest last. My chest holds out as long as possible. I think each person has to figure out what works for them. It took me a long time to figure out what works best for me. Lots of trial and error.
Just ordered 5 of those dresses! Thank you for the link! They are adorable and so perfect for me since I live in Florida and our temps are already high 90's.....UGH!
Thank you Lisa I really really appreciate all this helpful information can’t wait to give this a try. I never really realized that fruits have so much bad stuff that’s not good for us in the beginning. Thank you again . What adorable little dresses love them.
What would you suggest to eat for breakfast for someone who works and doesn’t get a lunch break till mid afternoon? Definitely need something that would keep me full for a long period and find that bread is the only thing that does that !😬any suggestions???
I like the Laughing Cow cheese. I've cut out dairy and basically eat chicken, low carb. I love salads too. Those are some of the changes I have made and the weight is coming off. Instead of using bread for a sandwich, I use lettuce. I like the ideas you gave about losing weight. The sundresses are so pretty!
Have you tried the Jimmie Dean crumbled Turkey Sausage? It’s precooked too and is great to throw right inside your omelets. Makes you feel like you are getting a nice hearty omelet. 😉
I've been watching you for quite some time...even though I can't afford a lot of what you discuss, I just want you to know that I continue to watch because of your personality. You seem like such a genuinely kind person, so gentle and easy going. It doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous too....Believe me, I typically don't write these type of things but your spirit is just so lovely, someone you'd want to be around all day, to just chit chat or watch a movie with...Your family is blessed to have you. Have a great day!
Thank you so much, that was a really nice compliment! 💗 Lisa
MyCrownstar agree
@@LisaLisaD1 I totaly agree
I'm really enjoying that you have switched up your channel a little bit. I've been watching you for about 5 years and my favorite videos have always been the ones where you tell stories or give advice. You are a beautiful lady inside and out!
Low carb, low sugar, and more protein is my lifestyle and the weight stays off. Love the dresses.
Exactly, and you are so trim! ❤️ Lisa
Right on Lisa! I am a keto girl. I am 67, and I've had 4 children. I have a very flat curvy waist and no belly fat. Everything you said resonated with me.
You honestly look stunning at any weight, and I mean that wholeheartedly! I am so glad you’re feeling amazing in your skin, especially for summer ❤️
I love your channel! Disabled nurse here so my budget is tight. I can’t purchase a lot of the items you show. I love it when you do a lot of the more frugal items. I’m keto and down 35 lbs. 💜
Loved this Lisa! I am successfully doing Keto and am very excited because it is working so well. It is always good to hear what others who are successful are doing! Love the dresses! Thanks for sharing!

also if you dont like water so much, try adding those flavor enhancers in the bottles like Mio. I use "Stur" which is made from stevia. the fruit punch flavor is good!
Love this. I mix up my own chicken sausage to taste like Jimmy Dean. Have that with some eggs. Cook a pack of chicken thighs or quarters in the slow cooker and put in freezer containers. Pull out, heat and have a little teriyaki ( one is runny and not high carb- it’s thin like soy sauce), tuna or tinned trout on salad if I don’t want chicken. Plain Italian vinaigrette should be low carb ( no need to add sugar). I’ve kept 105 pounds off and after taking dad out Friday, I am loosing the last little bit this summer.

The best weight loss “method” is the way you’ve just described. It’s not the fastest, and that’s exactly why it’s also not the easiest - and ppl get discouraged and frustrated and just want to give up. But in the long run, it’s truly the healthiest way to take off (and keep off) any excess weight. And it’s also why dieting without any regular exercise (even just a 20-30 minute brisk walk every day) isn’t the best (or healthiest) way to lose weight. Losing weight through eating right AND exercising is basically an overall lifestyle shift. And ANY exercise added to your daily routine on a regular basis will only help to improve your overall health across an entire lifetime..👍
Not sure if you have heard of the book Trim Healthy Mama. It is carb cycling and makes it very easy to do. I lost 85 pounds with it after my 3rd baby and I am getting ready to do it again after my 4th baby. The best part, I was never hungry! Check it out, it makes life so much more enjoyable!
Thank you, I will right now! ❤️ Lisa
I need to look more into carb cycling. I tried it in the past, but I was impatient and quit lol. Thanks for giving me the idea lol
Crafty Mommy85 I found it to be incredibly easy and the weight fell off. I have a bunch of videos about it on my channel, you have to go back about 3 years to when I started.
Amber Canaan I will check them out, thanks
Thank you I will look into this. I am 4 months PP my second beautiful daughter and I just don’t feel like me in my skin right now. I will check this out!
Pecans and macadamia nuts are super low in carb . I have been keto for over a year. I do order bread from nettrition. Its only 1 carb a slice and only 60 calories a slice. You do have to toast it, but it is delish I love meat too. Thank God. But stay away from the low fat. In the long run you will gain it all back. Too much sugar in low fa foods.. Raises insulin. Which blocks fat burning.
There is a book by Jorge Cruise called The 100, its all about eating low carb no sugar and you can drop 10 pounds in a week, it also has a list of free foods you can eat , i lost 20 pounds with that book and you dont feel deprived at all, unless your a big bread eater or a cookie monster, Lisa it sounds like your doing it already, you look great,
Silverthorn thank you, need to get this book!
I agree. The 100 is a great book! Highly recommend!
I’m also doing Keto/lowcarb really depends on my day (where I am working etc) I have lost 12 pounds. Also you are still using Monat? I highly recommend you not using the Intensive Repair. I’m a stylist and I used it for 6 months and I ordered the IRT and it started breaking my hair off. My hair has never looked so bad. I just want to let you know not to use it. Only for bald people. Love your videos and your beautiful face!!!! You look great momma! Also my favorite cheat is the low carb tortillas and sugar free jello/pudding with fat free whip cream. The more fat you put in the more fat you flush out. The keystone urine strips are a fun way to see how much fat you are flushing out. 😘😘👍🏼😍
Hello, I never leave comments but i just want to thank you for your advice. This was a great video. God bless you and your family. 🌹
Hi Lisa after cutting dairy and bread it’s answered all my weight and skin issues . I’m 53 and I’ve stayed the same weight now for 5 months and cut down the gym a little too . Xxxx❤️😘
Hey Lisa! Thank u for all the good low carb tips 👍. And congrats on losing your weight 😊. The only thing I might add is that veggies, although carbohydrates are super important to include with every meal or snack. They provide important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals & fiber 👌😃. Xoxo Debbie
Lisa I just ordered the dress you are wearing in small also. I'm glad it was still available! So cute. Thanks for the great informative video!!🌸❤
We have been doing keto for nearly 7 months! A couple other things I eat are pepperonis and jerky type meats not slim Jim’s but some like that have way less carbs! I’m down 38lbs jello and whipped cream helped me so much and string cheese!
Lisa I love you!! Been watching for YEARS. just got back from my honeymoon and gained about ten lbs and will be using these tips. They’re simple but they work! Happy to have the refresher :)
Low carb is the only way my body loses weight. Thanks for this video. It reminded me to quit messing around with eating habits that don’t help and get my ass in gear with what does work.
Very informative video. I always look forward to your videos.
I’m almost 56 Lisa and low carb works for me like magic .... I’ve gotten so used to it and enjoy how I feel when I eat low carb that I now have to be careful not to lose too low! Thank you for sharing what’s working for you beautiful !!
Hi Lisa--First-time commenter, here...anyway...do you work a glass of wine or a cocktail into this regimen (say, on weekends) or are you an abstainer? I find if I skip even my former 4-5 glasses of wine per week, the weight comes off faster--but my social life is bland:) Let us know! I am inspired to do the SB Diet again. Low carb really is the way to go for visible results...but hard to maintain the loss long-term, when carbs creep back in.
Wanted to tell you about a drink. You may know about it already, but I thought I would mention just in case you didn't . It's Truelime and it sweetened with stevia....little packets you add to water and it has many different flavors. I find it at Wal-Mart near the Crystal light😍
Lisa I love your weight loss videos ! Did u eat breakfast for the first 2 weeks that u lost the 10 lbs ? If you didn’t it’s almost like low carb but with intermediate fasting ? You look amazing 😍😍
I did for the first week, and sometimes I do now, but most days I do not eat until 12 or so! ❤️ Lisa
Lisa I have the same dress you’re wearing in a wrap style and it’s so beautiful, and the same blue and white one you held up! Such great summer dresses! Love your eating tips. I just decided to do low carb after watching this today, had some salami and cheese for a snack and going to grab some salad stuff for home. I love making a BLT with avocado salad. So delicious! Have a great week!
Thank you for all the tips! I’m going to try them to shed a few pounds. I am also going to order a couple of those dresses!
You look amazing!!! This is the way of eating that works best for me as well! I call it a modified Keto diet because I just can't get that intense lol. I need to drink more. Sucralose worries me for me, but I admit, a Diet Coke once in a while is a treat for me. I suppose it all balances out.
LOVE love LOOOOVE the dress!
Another alternative to Atkins is the South Beach diet, which helps you rid your dependence on excess sugars and refined carbs. Has 3 phases which you cycle through as you need, but the focus is on lean protein (I do chicken, fish and meatless patties, occ. steak, but leaner cuts) and good fats, more veggies. They have packaged food you can buy from them now - but I would skip that and instead buy the book (or check out from the library) so you understand why you are cutting out some foods and gradually incorporating others. Like Lisa mentioned, Dr. Agaston, (SBD founder) usually recommends avoiding most foods labeled "low fat" due to their high amnt. of sugar. Detoxing off the sugar in Phase 1 (2-3weeks) can be tough the first time, but man, I felt great. No more mid day slump, I was tired at night when I was supposed to be, no digestive issues. I don't lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks, but I definitely go down a pant size. Then on to phase 2. You can move on to eating carbs again, but learn why you should avoid the refined ones, esp. at all three meals in one day. I still prefer my burgers "topless" and prefer the sugar free fudgesciles to the regular ones when I need a chocolate fix. Definitely check out the book to understand the science, get a printable list of foods for quick reference and some great recipes.
Thanks for the info, I am a carbaholic and never had a problem with my metabolism til I got to 49. 😫It’s probably a good idea now that I have to lose 20+ lbs to let the carbs go.... those dresses are so summer perfect!!! I’m gonna check them out. 💙💙💙
Love those dresses! Atkins sweet stuff has Maltitol which upsets my stomach too! If you are craving sweets, Lily's brand chocolate is sweetened with Stevia and doesn't upset my stomach. You can usually find them at Whole Foods or a natural grocery type place.
Good for you!!! Thanks for sharing!! What kind of exercising do you do with the eating healthy?
Thanks for keeping it real, simple, and personal. Much easier to be inspired by this video than those who have intricate meal planning and elaborate recipes and nuances (more power to them if it works for them!). I’m gonna try roll ups for lunch and stick some spinach or pickles in them. Did you say no tomato because of carbs or because you don’t enjoy tomatoes?
the only guaranteed way to lose weight is to understand the math of calories in vs calories out. you can eat healthy food all day long but if you aren't burning significantly more calories than you eat EVERY DAY you won't lose weight. i'd suggest getting a FitBit which counts your movement and tells you roughly how many calories you've burned in a day. if you compare that to how many calories you eat you may start to understand why you can't lose weight
What makes you think I can’t lose weight or don’t already use an activity tracker? I was complimenting Lisa’s approach and video, but thanks for the unsolicited and rather obvious advice!
WindyCityEdits i literally was thinking the exact same thing when I read their reply😂
Howdy! By the 3rd day on Atkins, I lose my appetite....I ate a lot of fish which I love....I made a tuna or chicken salad with hard boiled eggs, chunk cheese, onions and mayo. The only time I cheated was I did have my coffee in the morning with my rich creamers but still can lose 4 pounds a week ( I lost 28 pounds in 2 months)...more if I work out every day. Belly fat doesn't have to be....exercise helps so much...I do hard cardio 4 times a week and those sit-ups do wonders and I am 63! Dance! Thank you for this...this was so fun and I never saw a dress on you I didn't love.....oh that blue dress..perfection!..xx Sues
LittlePoet have you tried bullet proof coffee. No creamers needed and still taste good
LittlePoet I have to have my creamer also. Can’t do without it. Lol I see from what you have stated helped you and as I already new that I must exercise for sure. Cardio is hard to get going but will help me if I just make up my mind to do it. Peace ✌🏼
Anamae Kitty what is this? I’d like to know because I love my international sugar free Italian cream, my fave.
Nancy Jo it’s coffee with grass fed butter, mct oil and protein. There are all kinds of variations and supposedly better for you
Annie Gmail I’ve heard so much about this bulletproof coffee but have still never tried it. I think I’ll have to check it out once I get my son back to college and have a bit more time to myself. Thanks for the reminder! Have you found a good source for it..??
Thanks for all the dieting tips...Lisa try making you an egg frittata super easy and you can make it with any type of ingreds...I made one today but I did put kidney beans in it...sometimes I put black beans BUT I did have a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, ground flaxseed and raw honey...filled me up for the entire day...I enjoyed it so much I had another slice with the PBFH whole wheat toast for supper...loved all the sun dresses especially the one you had on and the one John picked out....you look gorgeous as always 💟
I have been considering keto and doing lots of research, but I will admit, it intimidates me. It seems complicated! This seems so simple and doable. Thanks for the the information!
Thanks for the tips. Need to drop about 12! 😄. This sounds doable.
Lovely make up and hair. Blessings to you and your family.. 💕
Girl you look amazing! Can’t wait to try some of your tricks! :-)
I was craving for a salad throughout the whole video, I even ordered a salad spinner LOL.
When I was little I used to wear a lot (until it fell apart) a denim dress with patched up patterns, I loved it and I'm still looking for one like that. I love my childhood!
I love that you repeated,"Do what works for you". I love you! 😍🤗
Thanks for sharing all your tips. I am 121 lbs and use to be 5'6", but now 5'5". I will be 69 next month, so staying active and eating healthy is very important. Absolutely love the dresses. You are such and inspiration to everyone Lisa. ♥ Jan
awesome video,lisa...thank you so much.....you are so REAL! i do my own cooking and salads, but your advice on the fast food (when necessary) was excellent...you look beautiful as always!
Loved this video Lisa. I even took notes! :) Thank you for sharing! You are just gorgeous!
Listening to you talk I’d say you should try whole30/paleo.....because of the stomach issues and sleeping better....you should try it!
Hi Lisa, I ordered two of the dresses. They are really cute! I ordered the pink and white stripe and the black and turquoise print. I have lost over 140 pounds following your diet. It was prescribed to me by my doctor. Thank you so much for your videos
Hi Lisa! I just watched your "intro video," and wow! It's amazing how much you have changed! I love your videos, you feel like a friend! ♥️
I could watch you for hours!
I love those dresses...gorgeous!
I try and do Lo carb during the week and on the weekend I tend to treat myself a little bit, it doesn’t make it seem like a diet that way. Xx
Hi Lisa
I'm a coffee drinker and I do not like drinking it black. Would it be ok to add half and half to my coffee or should I use heavy cream? Thank you enjoy your time at the beach :-)
Try the CORE organic fruit flavored waters. They are delicious, do not taste artificial and contain healthy sugar substitutes. Love them.
Love your videos! Youre very sweet! Trying to loose 10 also vacation in 4 wks. Loved the tips!!❤️
Love your low carb/Keto videos. You have such a balanced approach and this will really help me thanks ❤️
Beautiful as always! I live this lifestyle of eating too. What are your thoughts on heavy whipping cream? I love it in my coffee and certain teas.
Lisa, the dresses are your best yet. So flattering on your figure. They suit you the best of many that you have tried because they skim over your hips. Better on you than the sheath style, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
Looking fabulous Lisa!!! I agree no or low carbs is the way to go! ❤️
The Intermittent works well for you! Thank you, M! ❤️ Lisa
Fruit is always allowed in my opinion. Loaded with fiber & it’s a clean food. Want to lose weight, eat whole, clean & lean. Stay away from dairy, sugar and meat. Our bodies get energy from carbs and we need them... the complex carbs! Portion control is key too. Choosing low-fat & artificial sweeteners will help you lose weight but the goal should also be health.
I love these dresses!!! Thanks for sharing your diet! I’m creating my grocery list now 👍🏽❤️
I love low carb! I have lost 20 pound with a low carb lifestyle. I’m feeling amazing and feel great as well. After having my baby it took me a while to get my groove back. But i feel back to myself now. A year and a half later, but i mean better late then never!! Love your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Lisa, Thank you for sharing all of that. It's helped me out a great deal!
Did realize about the sugar in vinaigrettes. Thanks for pointing that out Lisa ☺
Thanks for the tips!! The eating out always gets me!! Such darling dresses!
You look great! I have been eating low carb/keto for a while and YES to the salads and sugar free jello. I have also been obsessed with cottage cheese with hot sauce and taco bowls.
Try the Body Armor Lyte! It’s a electrolyte water and I swear it taste better than any Snapple fruit flavored drinks. I keep it in the fridge at our pool bar for everyone that swims can drink. Everyone just loves it.
Thank You Lisa for sharing, it does help!
Thanks for sharing what has worked for you. You've inspired me to start eating to fuel my body. I want to get back on track. Thank you for keeping it real!
Hi Lisa. Where to start....first off, I think you look wonderful. Your skin is glowing. I think your makes up looks simply classy. Your eyes especially! There seem to be so many pretty dresses out now for summer. Lands End and Talbots have some sweet selections, as does J.Jill. I remember my youngest sister doing the Atkins diet after her first baby was born. She followed it to a T and she looked and felt so wonderful. She maintained her weight for two years, then came her twins. You've inspired me to try the plan. Honestly, this menopause weight is unbearable. I never had baby weight to lose, so the added pounds that are hitting me fast are discouraging. Omelet's! Duh!!! I forget about how simple and tasty they are. Carbs can be so sneaky- hiding in foods you wouldn't think. I've been reading a book by Tosco Rena (I think I've got it right) about pairing a "clean carb and a lean protein" with every meal. So much to learn- our bodies are amazing....Thanks for sharing!
I am 58 and am looking for something to help me lose this 20 pounds! I am so happy I found your video this morning because you just made my decision! I am going to start on Monday, need to get myself prepared! Love the dresses, might have to get one(or two). Have a happy blessed day Lisa........Mary
Lisa you are the BEST. You are the most beautiful,kind and caring,I can’t shop shop like you , but I follow you for your tips and advice.🥰
Hi Lisa, very informative video! Thanks for the tips. When you do your omelet with the low fat sharp cheddar cheese, do you use the pre-packaged shredded cheese? Also, it would be great if you could make a list of a week’s menu when you first started the diet. Thanks Lisa! Beautiful as always!
Lisa, when I want to lose weight I love the low carb diet as well, but the one I follow is by Suzanne Somers which she calls Somersizing. If you are interested you can try one of her Somersizing books, all #1 best sellers, less restrictive than Atkins.
Thank you so much Lisa!! I really needed this!
Beautiful dresses! That classic silhouette was seen throughout history! I love it! They are so pretty on you!
I really love your channel! It's something new every time I watch. You keep it interesting and fun!
Looking lovely here Lisa, and thank you so much for all the dieting tips, great info here :) I LOVE all these sundress, including the one you are wearing, it's hard to pick my fav, and the pockets are everything ! Wishing you well girl, take care XO
I really liked this video! Your ideas and tips for weight loss were very inspiring! I am going to watch this video a second time but with note pad so I can jot down your suggestions! Thank you!
Thank you for this Lisa, I’m loving your more frequent videos you’re my fav TH-camr. Keep up the good work love from rachel England xx
I have tried low carb and it does okay but low calorie works SO much faster for me. I can lean down quickly if I limit myself to 1600 calories a day using a calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal.
Great video Lisa...I steer away from sugar as much as possible❣️ Love all your tips & meal ideas👍 xoxo Karen
I love your weight loss videos! Where did you get the keto stripes? What exercises do you do? Cardio? Weight training?
You do what you do. And you don't have to do macros. It doesn't have to be hard, but what works for you works for you! you're beautiful and lovely and you know what's working 💞.
I absolutely agree. If for some reason I safely lose 5 lb of water weigh than that means I've been retaining 5 lb of fluid I don't need and could be affecting my blood pressure at cetera.
And Lord I hope you know that I'm not being salesy, I've been watching your channel since the early days like my gosh six seven years ago maybe longer! Given where I lived 😄😉 anyway because of my health, and you can see that if you happened to go to my channel which you DON'T have to do, I drink Ketone salts and they target the belly!!! Woo hoo!! I drink them because they're helping with my breathing disorder that I go to Duke University Hospital for. But if you ever want to try them, please ask me. okay end of commercial 😂😂😂because I didn't intend it to be a commercial 🤗🤗🤗💞. I just appreciate you so much and the fact that you're so lovely and have such a sweet heart from the south... I'm from Virginia 😉 it's just a different mentality and Ive seen you get persecuted so many times ugh, but your strength is what has allowed me to have my own channel and just know that those things come and you just let it roll you're such an inspiration 💞. And I'm 57 postmenopausal and it's reducing my belly especially that under the belly button Pooch I had two children that are 36 and 30 this month and they both were two weeks late so that is since my twenties has been an issue. So I'm just sharing that information girl to girl that's all 😂
Hi @KetogenicKim I’m very interested in what you say your “drinking”.. I’m 50 have gained about 40 lbs seems mostly in my belly!
Enjoyed your video today Lisa! Love those dresses too! Just wondering if you don't mind sharing your waist size. I am 5' 3" but around the same weight as you so wondering if the small would work for me. Is the waist tight or a bit stretchy? Thanks so much.
Hey Lisa! Some great tips! I can't have any sugar substitutes! Causes horrible bloating and pain! You look fabulous! I ordered 3 dresses. They are super cute! Hugs...xo
Thank you Lisa for sharing . I am a ww lifetime member and I still would like to lose a few extra pounds and a lot of these foods are freestyle on ww . You look great as always and I'm with you on just feeling better when you eat no carbs . Loving the dresses ! It's pretty much all I wear in the summer . You are such an inspiration and motivator to so many ! 😘
Lisa, do you have your weekend treat during the first 2-3 weeks or you start that after you finish your induction phase? Thanks for sharing! You help us so much!
Thank you Lisa! Very inspiring video. I never had problems with weight but now over 45 and struggling to loose just 6-8 pounds; sounds like 2 weeks off carbs might be what i need!
Saw some criticism how bad Atkins diet is but i think it was old days version- when just fat steaks and fried eggs, modern version is full of veggies - just low-carb veggies. Kale and spinach are full of fiber, minerals and vitamins :-)
Loved this video. It really gave me the motivation to get my diet started. I love the same foods you do for low carb dieting. The dresses were so pretty. Thanks Lisa!
I do low carb and intermittent fasting. I drink water or unsweetened tea to which I add stevia. I don’t lose weight with diet soft drinks though. I’ve kept my weight off for a year so far. I lose weight opposite from you, I think. I lose weight in my arms and chest last. My chest holds out as long as possible. I think each person has to figure out what works for them. It took me a long time to figure out what works best for me. Lots of trial and error.
Btw Lisa... you look really pretty in your sundresses. I remember loving sundresses as a little girl. It just screams summertime and happy days to me.
Just ordered 5 of those dresses! Thank you for the link! They are adorable and so perfect for me since I live in Florida and our temps are already high 90's.....UGH!
Low carb works for me too...This video was an inspiration to get rid of a few pounds! You look radiant ❤️
Thank you Lisa I really really appreciate all this helpful information can’t wait to give this a try. I never really realized that fruits have so much bad stuff that’s not good for us in the beginning. Thank you again . What adorable little dresses love them.
What would you suggest to eat for breakfast for someone who works and doesn’t get a lunch break till mid afternoon? Definitely need something that would keep me full for a long period and find that bread is the only thing that does that !😬any suggestions???
I like the Laughing Cow cheese. I've cut out dairy and basically eat chicken, low carb. I love salads too. Those are some of the changes I have made and the weight is coming off. Instead of using bread for a sandwich, I use lettuce. I like the ideas you gave about losing weight. The sundresses are so pretty!
Have you tried the Jimmie Dean crumbled Turkey Sausage? It’s precooked too and is great to throw right inside your omelets. Makes you feel like you are getting a nice hearty omelet. 😉
