Aloha, Welcome to Hawaii! I have lived here for 30 years. I live on Keto and have for 3 years. I have followed you for a year. You are real and I can relate to how you live. I do the same. I went from size 1x to an 11/12. I just had my 80th birthday. I feel 40 and look 50. It is not a diet but a lifestyle and you two understand that. Mahalo for all your time and work in honest Keto.
Two years ago I started the Ketogenic diet. I had 60lbs to lose and my blood pressure was through the roof. Fortunately I achieved great success. I had assumed that I wouldn't feel better until I reached my goal weight. I didn't even care if it took me years to get there. To my surprise I felt so much better just days into my journey. It was AMAZING! I felt fantastic! It took me a year to lose the 60lbs. I no longer needed blood pressure medicine and all was well. Some friends invited us to go to Vegas for the weekend and we were all in! I bought new clothes, size 10 jeans. My slip started the first night in the casino. The cocktail waitress came around and I ordered a Pina Colada. It tasted like sugar water but even this didn't stop me. I drank several more. I woke up the next morning claiming to have a hangover but...in the back of my mind I knew it was a sugar crash. The breakfast buffet came next. Hashbrowns, muffins, Belgian Waffles and the list goes on. When we got back home on Monday, It just kept going. I thought "I've already reached my goal weight. I will just be careful and eat in moderation." Here I am a year later. I have gained most of the weight back and I am on medication for my blood pressure again. I am two weeks in and going strong. It was a painful lesson to learn. So...if you are reading this comment and thinking about going off your Keto diet while on vacation...please learn from my mistake because "What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas."
I am the same way!!! I think cheat days are bad . I can not control myself . So I just eat good keto food and if I want to cheat now I just eat keto junk sometimes.
Oh my word, this is such a common tale, it seems and so sad to me. I just went to Vegas and didn't cheat at all and came home four pounds heavier and I cannot shake it! I was losing one pound a day up until a few weeks ago, down 30 in three months so now I'm scared to travel. I said to my sister, what would I have gained had I cheated??? All I did differently was drink tons of diet coke! I'm feeling a little discouraged. I know we just need to trust the process though, don't we?
We found ourselves visiting our kid on Maui a few years ago, for my husband’s birthday and anniversary. Our kids chipped in to give us a gift certificate for the iconic “Mama’s Fish House” restaurant. We (beyond) splurged and shared their famous apple-banana cobbler with some ice cream on it. A wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!
Perfect advice! On a recent vacay in California, I did tons of walking and hiking, stayed Keto for every meal except our last night out when I indulged in PASTA at a specialty Italian restaurant that imports everything from Italy…couldn’t pass up that experience! I fasted the entire plane ride there and back (perfect opportunity for an extended fast) and wound up losing three lbs. in those 12 days. As you both said, focusing on activities and not the food made me feel victorious instead of coming home bloated and having gained weight. Win win! 😃😉
I’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to California. I plan on doing this exact vacation! Tons of hiking and staying keto till the last day. Fasting for the trip out and back!
"Do the best you can and don't over think it" is spot on advice. Now that so many of us are venturing out on vacations, this is such a timely video. Enjoy the wonderful weather, surf, sand, tubbing and of course the delicious Hawaiian coffee! (BTW, my spouse and I met on a tubbing trip 30 years ago 😘)
What a triumph. For folks like us who have been carb addicts most of our lives, I'm so encouraged how far you've come on your keto journies (on vacation no less). Thanks for sharing your experiences- it really helps seeing how ketosis has helped shape your choices now that you have the upper hand in food decisions.
What a healthy attitude you guys have! I do the best I can, and am eating very clean Keto most of the time. When I go off Keto too much, I feel physically sick. Don't need too much of an incentive to keep it going when my body reminds me how bad it feels to eat indiscriminately.
I try really hard to stay on track as best I can while on Vacation. Mostly I do this because I feel so much better when I have little to no sugar and I want to enjoy my Vacations now that I feel so much better. I try to choose and eat Keto friendly options first so that even if I do "indulge" I won't eat as much. I went to Louisiana and totally had some rice with dishes, but rice was no longer the main dish. On another occasion instead of the cake and cupcakes I decided to have a few pieces of fruit and it was so sweet and delicious I didn't need very much to satisfy my mind. I no longer think of Vacations as a way to try new foods and instead as a way to experience new adventures. Glad you treated yourself to a trip to Hawaii! Well deserved, and I'm glad you had such a successful trip mentally and physically. Nicely Done!
That looked so relaxing. It looks like you had fun. You girls are so encouraging and I am glad you focused your vacation on having a good time and not on food.
I am so glad you did this video. I needed it! I'm on vacation, staying with my mother who doesnt understand keto or the way I eat. She constanly pushes non keto food. For the most part I've been finding keto food on menus when we eat out, and do the best I can when we eat in. Today I had to partake in a fried chicken lunch and knew this was about the experience of being with my mom and her friend, not about the food. I know I will do better at the next meal, and when I get back home I will get back to my routine. Thank you for the video and reminder you do the best you can do and don't focus on the food. Thank you, THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing your story! I'm sure you're having a WONDERFUL time! When on vacation, I definitely plan for food situations like taking my own Keto sweetener, bread, tortillas, snacks, etc. It helps mitigate some of the damage. That being said, if I ever got to go to Hawaii, I would totally eat some pineapple since it would be a rare or even a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. I wouldn't feel guilty about it since I stick to Keto in my everyday life and, for the most part, stick to Keto while being on vacation.
Yes! I'm going to Arizona for a week myself and I'll be bringing my keto foods (chips, bagels, crackers, cookies) with mini cans of coconut milk for my coffee since I'm not sure if I'll find these items at the different grocery stores there. Just want to be comfortable and enjoy my vacay. I did go to Vegas a couple years ago and did eat the French pastries, crepes and baguette sandwiches at the Paris Hotel - a must! Then ate keto for everything else. Did a full 24 hour fast on the day flying back home. Then next day, keto was back on full time with intermittent fasting.
Btw girls- I bet they thought you were locals. You have that beautiful Japanese /tropical Asian look 👀 I grew up outside Pasadena Calif. where strong Japanese community. Stunning. I think you mentioned your mom is from a distant land…? 😊
A good thing to look into is the concept of food combining. If you’re going to cheat, using the food combining will lessen the impact of the cheat. I probably won’t spell this correctly, but there’s a book called The Schwartzbein Principle that explains it well. It’s worth a read. It’s mostly waiting after a meal to cheat, or waiting after the cheat before you eat a meal. On one of my keto adventures, I used this, and was still losing 2 1/2 to 3 pounds a week! I wouldn’t recommend doing it all the time, but if you’re in Hawaii, how can you pass up fresh pineapple? You know? There are special occasions where it’s appropriate.
Started my keto journey the beginning of 2020, start of the pandemic, so vacation was not an issue for 2 years. We just spent 2 weeks in Hawaii and intermittent fasting was a huge key to staying “mostly” keto. It was actually a revelation for me. The couple we went with eat ALL THE TIME. They had breakfast in the condo and I able to easily decline with “I don’t eat breakfast”, because it was true. You hit the nail on the head when you said to plan activities that are not food centric.
Wow im about to go in on trip this weekend and have been getting anxiety knowing that there will be food that is not what I want to consume. This video came on right time and day😭you are so right it’s all about experience! Life! Food is the last thing to worry about. Thank you girls❤️
I went to Dominican Republic on mission trip. I did exactly what you recommended, I believe I'm probably one of the only one who didn't get sick. 🙏🏻 keep up the great work!
Great balance between enjoying yourselves and staying on course. Thank you for the great suggestions! While low carb tortillas are banned at home (I over eat them), they have a place during travels!
Love your advice! I've been Keto for just 2 1/2 months and I love the freedom from food. I WAS an emotional eater, so much better now. Have a great vacation!
I was on Keto for a few months 4 years ago. My Keto coach told me that she went off Keto during holidays. I hate to diet! I went off my diet at Thanksgiving and that was the end of my Keto journey for 4 years! Did I say I hate to diet! Back on Keto and losing weight. I will not go off my diet again! Once in a while I have a taste of something with higher carbs. That’s all! Very careful to keep any cheats to a minimum. Not enough to ruin my diet. Always Keto mindful!
This is a great mindset. For the longest time I did the whole "I'm on vacation I"m gonna eat whatever I want" thing too. But like you said, getting out of ketosis a lot of times make you feel worse than getting into ketosis. So rather than just not go off the deep end, I would avoid feeling sick and ruining the first few days of my vacation by doing something even worse. I would go off the deep end a few days before the vacation so I could suffer at home and then enjoy the rest of my vacation without feeling sick. Looking back I can't believe I actually rationalized this nonsense to myself. Now I do what you guys do. Make the best choices I can where possible, and if it's not possible or I really just don't want to resist the urge (if it's something truly special and unique for example) I'll indulge in a tiny portion of whatever it is. That way I can experience the food but not make myself sick in the process.
You are the two most realistic people i have ever met. I appreciate the realism that we can all live. I have been doing this for 7 months and went crazy tracking and measuring and monitoring my BS and ketones. I drove myself to an anxious state. So once i stopped all that, i am so much happier. Learn to enjoy life cause it is short.
Giving yourself grace is everything. Snorkeling, Pineapple 🍍, and coffee ☕️ is my jam in Hawaii. Glad you were able to go on your trip and enjoy paradise.
The view from your AirBandB looks amazing. Great advice. I tend to think of myself as low carb on vacation so I don't worry about being pulled out of ketosis but I still make better choices.
You girls are the best🥰, you cover everything and make us feel so confident, and don’t let us beat ourselves up. I will take your great advice with me when I go on vacation. I was really worried about that, but now I’m not! So thank you both⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just stumbled across your page and subscribed. I am one month into the keto lifestyle. My mother is an identical twin. Unfortunately, my Aunt recently passed, but your vlog makes me think on my Mom and my Aunt.
There is a good donut place near my house. I used to stop there every couple of months and get a couple of donuts and a large coffee. I’ve been tempted to go, but always stop myself. I’ve made a deal with myself that when I lose 50 pounds, I will treat myself to donuts and coffee ONE TIME! Then, when I lose another 50 pounds, I will do it again! Then, after I reach my goal weight, I will do it again! After that, it will have to be only on special occasions, like my birthday or something.
It looks like you ladies are having a wonderful time! I'm living vicariously through you... :-) My sister and I are planning a future road trip, so your tips will definitely come in handy. Sending lots of love from Canada.
I ❤️ Hawaii! I’m glad you had a great time! I tried the LMNT sample pack using your code and my fave’s were the Watermelon and the Citrus. I plan on buying the full sizes and taking them on vacation this summer. Now if LMNT would make a Pineapple 🍍 flavor that would be amazing !
@@ketotwins I tried to get the sample pack, not sure if I am doing something wrong, but it keeps coming up that I can get a sample pack only if I order one of the products. Any advise? Thank you, Elizabeth
It is great that you two present the option that balance, being real and living life are a part of a keto lifestyle. I love that you help us not to feel badly if we want to have a little something special on occasion. Hope you loved Hawaii!
I agree with you, any travel used to include food first, whether it was a road trip or any other. Now, I don't usually think about food until way past noon, never would have believed it if you told me. I've had family visits now that the pandemic has stopped being the only consideration and I have to laugh because my 'company' is hungry, looking for breakfast, lunch, etc. and it is the farthest thing from my mind. I was always the cook and now my 'company' is in charge of feeding themselves, what a difference and how nice and relaxing for me....
Went to Kauai back in 2013 & LOVED IT!! We also sailed with Capt. Andy's & not sure if it was the waves or the Mai Tais but I ended up sick too! Enjoy the beauty of the island & all your adventures!
Totally agree! When I went to Italy and Paris, not trying the cultural cuisine would be a missed opportunity! I planned to go off plan just for 1 meal a day and I got right back on when I went home. Didn’t gain or loose, but was a wonderful experience in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed Hawaii! 🙌🏻🍾👍🏻
Been keto for about 8 years. every time we go on vacay we have a whole regimen, we still have a little carbs, and might gain 1 or 2 lbs total. We hit the gym in the morning, do a quick workout (20 minutes - usually weights) - we do not eat breakfast. we make sure we get enough walking in. lunch is totally keto, but dinner we allow ourselves to enjoy a little carbs. Easy peasy.
Hawaii is beautiful. I stayed by pink flamingo hotel. Spent much time at beach! Have fun ladies. Thanks for info. Enjoy. Try Punta Cana beautiful also.
Great advice! My husband and I just came back from Mexico and it was super easy to stick to Keto for the most part, I did have a couple of street tacos but lots of options for every meal
I love this advice and I know exactly what you are talking about. Being food driven my whole life its nice not to be that way and enjoy some things without having to think about food. And also to not feel guilty about "living" your life when you have the chance to taste a fresh pineapple. Thanks for helping me stay on track! You guys are awesome!
Love this! Kauai is one of my favorite places, but not as a keto eater. Last time I found it hard to eat there. I agree with your approach and it was a good idea to stay where you could cook sometimes. And keeping up with electrolytes and IF is key!
Thank you so much. The only way I can commit to being Keto for the rest of my life is by having planned breaks that allow me to indulge in non-keto moments!
What great and helpful content. Never thought through it like that, but I used to be the same way on vacation ALWAYS revolving around food and meals. Thanks for walking me through a new way to really enjoy vacation time. Since my partner is not keto, I will be on my own…. But that’s how I am at home so no big deal really. Having fun experiences in my mind instead of worrying about the food thing will make all the difference. And you are so correct about the intermittent fasting being so helpful in times when there’s no good choices available…just skip it and move on!
Total agree with you girls. Just got back off vacation. When I did indulge in something, me & my husband purchased one & split it (that generally gave us 2-3 bites a piece). Before we would both have had one a piece. Life is too short, not to have a few treats every now and then.. My weight stayed the same. I'm going to Alaska in June and I plan to enjoy, but in moderation. Admire & respect you girls..
Good content!!! Thank you. I did this to myself just on a day of out of town activities with my family. I thought too much about what I was gonna eat and when my fast started. And it kinda made the whole process.. not fun. I think just enjoying the moments is where it’s at and next time, not letting the health journey affect happiness. U guys look like u had a blast!! Thank you for bringing us along. Hawaii is just beautiful.
I was on KETO for a full year and went on vacation this past June. Long story short I went off of it and stayed off of it, and ate whatever I wanted for the last 7 months. I have gained 20 pounds back and I'm very unhappy and feel awful. Mentally and physically. I have come across the two of you this week and I'm very thankful. The two of you make me laugh in every video. Im unsure of going back on Keto or plunging straight into carnivore. Thank you for trying out these recipes so I don't have to waste my time with the nasty ones....LOL I wish you both well, stay funny, and thank you for the insight and inspiration 😊
Great message! That's my plan for vacation. I've been doing the 75/25 and I have not gained at all. The 25% that is not keto, I make sure it is worth it. I can't imagine I'll ever eat 3 banana splits at one sitting, but if I want to have Thai food with sticky rice once a month, I do! Thanks for the video ☺️
Nice! We went there in 2017/2018 for New Years. I hadn’t discovered Keto yet but I went off my diet at the time hard & went totally backwards until I did discover keto some months later. Great tips!
I got my element sample pack from your promo. I really liked the citrus salt. The chocolate was yuck. But I subscribed and my box arrived yesterday. I love it and my body feels a difference.
Great to see you on vacation! I’m always excited to see what healthy food they have where I vacation, I’m happy with that til my boyfriend order fries, lol. Glad to see you focus on the experiences! ❤
How very timely! I've been on intermittent fasting and Keto for about 3 months and have lost 25 lbs. We are going to Mexico for a week and I was starting to fret about the food. I like your advice about focusing on the experiences and not the food! Thank you
What a great video - I totally relate. I Have been on a low carb intermittent fasting diet for a little bit over two years. Shortly after I started I took a vacation and was able to make the IF part work but the low carb part was tough. I feel I would do better today and your experience is encouraging. Some of the same philosophies should work during holiday visits with family - I hope. It will happen next week with my skinny son and his skinny wife staying with us for a week. We’ll focus on the activities together, and they can have breakfast while my wife and I skip. And grill baby grill!
Sara and Emily, thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us. Looks very beautiful there. Emily you are so right on with life is short. Carpe Diem while on vacation. Back to business when you come home. Sound advice. Again, thanks for sharing

Giving yourself grace is everything. Snorkeling, Pineapple 🍍, and coffee ☕️ is my jam in Hawaii. Glad you were able to go on your trip and enjoy paradise.
Thank you ladies! We all do our best, is all we can do. Appreciate your advice and kind words. 🤗
Hawaii is home for me. I'm glad you had a nice visit here.
I went to Vegas last year and yes, I did stray away from eating Keto. Back on track after.
Thank you for your honesty. Have a great time!!
The view from your AirBandB looks amazing. Great advice. I tend to think of myself as low carb on vacation so I don't worry about being pulled out of ketosis but I still make better choices.
You girls are the best🥰, you cover everything and make us feel so confident, and don’t let us beat ourselves up. I will take your great advice with me when I go on vacation. I was really worried about that, but now I’m not! So thank you both⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just stumbled across your page and subscribed. I am one month into the keto lifestyle. My mother is an identical twin. Unfortunately, my Aunt recently passed, but your vlog makes me think on my Mom and my Aunt.
There is a good donut place near my house. I used to stop there every couple of months and get a couple of donuts and a large coffee. I’ve been tempted to go, but always stop myself. I’ve made a deal with myself that when I lose 50 pounds, I will treat myself to donuts and coffee ONE TIME! Then, when I lose another 50 pounds, I will do it again! Then, after I reach my goal weight, I will do it again! After that, it will have to be only on special occasions, like my birthday or something.
Love your honesty girls. You definitely have integrity... it means a lot! 😎🇦🇺
It looks like you ladies are having a wonderful time! I'm living vicariously through you... :-) My sister and I are planning a future road trip, so your tips will definitely come in handy. Sending lots of love from Canada.
:) thanks Lisa! We haven’t taken a road trip in forever, maybe soon! -Em
Hope you come to Maui next time. We would love to meet you two. Love how you keep everything so real with your keto experiences. So relatable !
I ❤️ Hawaii! I’m glad you had a great time!
I tried the LMNT sample pack using your code and my fave’s were the Watermelon and the Citrus. I plan on buying the full sizes and taking them on vacation this summer. Now if LMNT would make a Pineapple 🍍 flavor that would be amazing !
Pineapple salt, that’s an amazing idea!! -Em
I got the sample also and I like the orange salt and the citrus salt!
@@ketotwins I tried to get the sample pack, not sure if I am doing something wrong, but it keeps coming up that I can get a sample pack only if I order one of the products. Any advise? Thank you, Elizabeth
Love you ladies ❤. Such wonderful advice. Totally agree with your thoughts on enjoying life.
Man, I thoroughly enjoyed that video! Thank you for taking us on your vacation for a few minutes! :-)
Thanks for the free sample! I just ordered mine.
Hope you like it Deb! -Em
Great advice as always! I will say, I’m jealous! Hawaii is on my bucket list for sure. Enjoy your vacation and thanks for sharing it with us!
I've been watching your videos for a while. I like them , but this one I LOVED!! Honest, clear, encouraging...thank you both
It is great that you two present the option that balance, being real and living life are a part of a keto lifestyle. I love that you help us not to feel badly if we want to have a little something special on occasion. Hope you loved Hawaii!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful vacation with us!😀👍 Have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🌞💐🎶
Ooohhh!! That looked like so much fun! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us! You two looked fabulous and it was so beautiful there. Have fun!
I agree with you, any travel used to include food first, whether it was a road trip or any other. Now, I don't usually think about food until way past noon, never would have believed it if you told me. I've had family visits now that the pandemic has stopped being the only consideration and I have to laugh because my 'company' is hungry, looking for breakfast, lunch, etc. and it is the farthest thing from my mind. I was always the cook and now my 'company' is in charge of feeding themselves, what a difference and how nice and relaxing for me....
Went to Kauai back in 2013 & LOVED IT!! We also sailed with Capt. Andy's & not sure if it was the waves or the Mai Tais but I ended up sick too! Enjoy the beauty of the island & all your adventures!
I was fine but Sarah and her husband got really sea sick, I loved the experience!! I’m not sure why I didn’t! -Em
Thanks for the perspective. I’m going to Maui in June.
Totally agree! When I went to Italy and Paris, not trying the cultural cuisine would be a missed opportunity! I planned to go off plan just for 1 meal a day and I got right back on when I went home. Didn’t gain or loose, but was a wonderful experience in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed Hawaii! 🙌🏻🍾👍🏻
Been keto for about 8 years. every time we go on vacay we have a whole regimen, we still have a little carbs, and might gain 1 or 2 lbs total. We hit the gym in the morning, do a quick workout (20 minutes - usually weights) - we do not eat breakfast. we make sure we get enough walking in. lunch is totally keto, but dinner we allow ourselves to enjoy a little carbs. Easy peasy.
You are awesome Ladies....thank you...
You two are awesome Humanbeings, thank you so much!
Hawaii is beautiful. I stayed by pink flamingo hotel. Spent much time at beach! Have fun ladies. Thanks for info. Enjoy. Try Punta Cana beautiful also.
Great advice! My husband and I just came back from Mexico and it was super easy to stick to Keto for the most part, I did have a couple of street tacos but lots of options for every meal
First time commenter; your excellent people, I’m so happy you all enjoyed your vacation. Thanks for being so honest!
Great advice!!! Glad y’all had a good time!
Thank you Anne!!
I love this advice and I know exactly what you are talking about. Being food driven my whole life its nice not to be that way and enjoy some things without having to think about food. And also to not feel guilty about "living" your life when you have the chance to taste a fresh pineapple. Thanks for helping me stay on track! You guys are awesome!
Thanks for all these tips! We are going to the Big Island in 2 weeks so hope I can be 70/30 for most of the trip.
“ Sometimes, you just wanna eat the pineapple”! Lol. I love it! You guys crack me up!😂
Vacations are special! Try to stay keto as much as you can but don’t be to hard on yourself if you have something off plan. You both look AMAZING!!
Love this! Kauai is one of my favorite places, but not as a keto eater. Last time I found it hard to eat there. I agree with your approach and it was a good idea to stay where you could cook sometimes. And keeping up with electrolytes and IF is key!
Enjoy your vacay in paradise. You guys deserve it 😎
"Eat like you were on death row" made me laugh out loud!!
Thank you so much. The only way I can commit to being Keto for the rest of my life is by having planned breaks that allow me to indulge in non-keto moments!
What great and helpful content. Never thought through it like that, but I used to be the same way on vacation ALWAYS revolving around food and meals. Thanks for walking me through a new way to really enjoy vacation time. Since my partner is not keto, I will be on my own…. But that’s how I am at home so no big deal really. Having fun experiences in my mind instead of worrying about the food thing will make all the difference. And you are so correct about the intermittent fasting being so helpful in times when there’s no good choices available…just skip it and move on!
Great video! I went to Kauai a few years ago and did the Napoli Coast tour, tubing and biking. You’re right. The experiences are everything
The coast tour was incredible, I wish Sarah could have enjoyed it more! -Em
Total agree with you girls. Just got back off vacation. When I did indulge in something, me & my husband purchased one & split it (that generally gave us 2-3 bites a piece). Before we would both have had one a piece. Life is too short, not to have a few treats every now and then.. My weight stayed the same. I'm going to Alaska in June and I plan to enjoy, but in moderation. Admire & respect you girls..
I got my free LMNT packet last week! I tried the orange and I love it!!!
Leaving for Oahu tomorrow, thank you for the food pep talk, it was just what I needed! 😊
Hope you have the best time ever! ❤️
Good content!!! Thank you. I did this to myself just on a day of out of town activities with my family. I thought too much about what I was gonna eat and when my fast started. And it kinda made the whole process.. not fun. I think just enjoying the moments is where it’s at and next time, not letting the health journey affect happiness. U guys look like u had a blast!! Thank you for bringing us along. Hawaii is just beautiful.
Such a healthy attitude!
Hope you enjoyed your vacation! Love you guys🥰
This was great. Thank you.
Also, I tried LMNT with that free trial and love it.
So glad loved LMNT Connie! We love it too ❤️
I was on KETO for a full year and went on vacation this past June. Long story short I went off of it and stayed off of it, and ate whatever I wanted for the last 7 months. I have gained 20 pounds back and I'm very unhappy and feel awful. Mentally and physically. I have come across the two of you this week and I'm very thankful. The two of you make me laugh in every video. Im unsure of going back on Keto or plunging straight into carnivore. Thank you for trying out these recipes so I don't have to waste my time with the nasty ones....LOL
I wish you both well, stay funny, and thank you for the insight and inspiration 😊
I'm so happy to see people enjoying vacations again!!!!!!!
It was much needed, loved the change of scenery! -Em
Great message! That's my plan for vacation. I've been doing the 75/25 and I have not gained at all. The 25% that is not keto, I make sure it is worth it. I can't imagine I'll ever eat 3 banana splits at one sitting, but if I want to have Thai food with sticky rice once a month, I do!
Thanks for the video ☺️
Kudos on the vacay, life is short, and you ladies earned it. Enjoy and safe travels back home.
Wish I could give this 1,000 likes! Great attitude!
Nice! We went there in 2017/2018 for New Years. I hadn’t discovered Keto yet but I went off my diet at the time hard & went totally backwards until I did discover keto some months later. Great tips!
Great topic! Thank you 🙏🏻
I've done the same thing with summer watermelon. It wasn't a problem. Go gals, glad you're having fun
Enjoy your vacation! Great advice: Focus on experiences, not food.
I’m so happy I found your videos. Love you both your both are so real! Thank you 🙏
We are glad you found us too Sherry! Thanks for watching 🤗
Awesome info, thank you!
I got my element sample pack from your promo. I really liked the citrus salt. The chocolate was yuck. But I subscribed and my box arrived yesterday. I love it and my body feels a difference.
This is great as I'm planning a cruise to Hawaii next year.
Great to see you on vacation! I’m always excited to see what healthy food they have where I vacation, I’m happy with that til my boyfriend order fries, lol. Glad to see you focus on the experiences! ❤
How very timely! I've been on intermittent fasting and Keto for about 3 months and have lost 25 lbs. We are going to Mexico for a week and I was starting to fret about the food. I like your advice about focusing on the experiences and not the food! Thank you
What a great video - I totally relate. I Have been on a low carb intermittent fasting diet for a little bit over two years. Shortly after I started I took a vacation and was able to make the IF part work but the low carb part was tough. I feel I would do better today and your experience is encouraging. Some of the same philosophies should work during holiday visits with family - I hope. It will happen next week with my skinny son and his skinny wife staying with us for a week. We’ll focus on the activities together, and they can have breakfast while my wife and I skip. And grill baby grill!
You ladies are doing great! Enjoy that vacation❗️🏖🏝🎶💥❗️
Sara and Emily, thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us. Looks very beautiful there. Emily you are so right on with life is short. Carpe Diem while on vacation. Back to business when you come home. Sound advice. Again, thanks for sharing
So glad you are having Fun!
