I really enjoyed the video, it’s like listening to 2 friends that are experiencing the same thing as me. I been on an emotional roller coaster for the past few days because on Friday aug. 14 is my 1st yr keto anniversary. Looking back to when I first started when I was 250 lbs I was desperate to change my life and feel healthy. As of today I’m 188lbs and I feel healthy and determined to continue. I truly appreciate the time you both take on doing these videos because they motivate me so so much to continue with this lifestyle. 😘💪
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment Maria! It means so much to us! Congrats on your weight loss! 62 lbs is an incredible accomplishment! -Emily
This is week for of Keto for me. I lost 8 pounds, then nothing for more than a week. I started to get discouraged u til I watched this video. Thanks so much!!
As a diabetic I do keto to avoid medications like insulin. Which by the way puts weight on - around 30 pounds. I have never used these meds but was told right away that I should but nope I just changed my diet. And no, I hardly move. Lol Other reasons for doing keto is to avoid blindness and amputations. The weight loss is a bonus.
Amputation there’s always that. 😀 I lost a keg in an accident, I am fine with the loss and glad my adaptation was great. However, would never chose or knowingly go this route. Great choice on your part, preventive lifestyle adjustment. Low Carb KETO has been a God send for my weight management, a deal breaker for any amputee. 🍀
I started keto in May 2018. Starting weight was 350. I was at 250 a year later and have been stalled for over a year. I have maintained and not gained, so that is a positive. Would love to lose 50 more! Even though it is frustrating that I am stalled for so long, but it is encouraging to me that I haven't gained. I drink a gallon or more of water a day. I am not a very strict keto, but never was. I have been somewhere between strict and dirty keto. I'm sure the strict keto police would say there is no in-between. Y'all are lovely and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you
Thank you so much Mike! Wow 100 lbs is such an accomplishment, we definitely know what it’s like to be stalled for a while. Incorporating IF and OMAD was the key to us getting the scale moving again! -Emily
@@ketotwins I tried IF and OMAD and I'm still doing it. It hasn't done the trick. Trick a cheat, egg fast, beef and butter fast, ketones, extended fast, reduced intake and others but no luck so far. It will happen at some point.
Wow please let us know when you do start losing again what triggered it so we can help other people! I’m sure the scale will start moving at some point! -Em
@@kudzumoose3861 During the Christmas holidays the scale started moving again. No changes made, it just started moving. I have lost 10 more lbs. It's been slow, but I'll take it.
I LOVE listening to you two... you are SO sane AND common sense...it is SO refreshing !! I am also a twin, but MY twin is a "brother", LOL. My daughter was also born on my birthday. I have been on "cruise control" keto for the past 8 months and have lost 50 pounds so far...at age 66. More to go... Onward and Upward !!
I’m not tuning out when you two talk. I feel like I’m in the same room and we’re all just talking! (Hope that doesn’t sound creepy.. lol). Really, some sites sound like they are talking to a bunch of the mentally impaired, and some are stuffing so much lofty C.R.A.P. into their videos that it becomes too much to absorb.. THANK YOU for your down to earth approach to keto!! I appreciate you so much!!
I think my issue is I drink a lot of tea and use a lot of Sweet-N-Low which is "less than 1 carb a pack". I don't know if that means .9 carbs or .1 carbs. So I'm gonna slow down on the tea and add more water.
Pay close attention to how you feel when drinking a gallon of water per day. That much water tends to flush a lot of your electrolytes out. You may find you don’t have much energy then.
I love apple cider vinegar every day! It has sped up my weight loss by a small percentage but there are many health benefits to it. I also add it to homemade salad dressing. My favourite way to use it is with my citrus flavoured electrolytes, it reminds me of sweet iced tea.
I think water should be drank when thirsty. It's a perfect system. Thirst is not an indication of dehydration.especially if you are drinking coffee all day. Water is a.perfect beverage , but peeing it out all day is.a good way to become deficient in Electrolytes.
On my days off I usually had 2 cups of coffee with hwc and if I'm being honest I probably used 2 T in each. Now I add more water when I make coffee and keep it to about 1 T each cup. You think it's fat which it mostly is, but those unlabeled carbs add up as do the calories 😳 And I know I eat way too many nuts, omg. A portion of nuts is not much quantity when you look at it. Love love your channel; you two keep it real more than anyone else ❤. Today is Thanksgiving so have a great one and your channel is an addition to the things I'm thankful for 🤗🤗 Bonnie H
So with you on the lazy keto. If i had to track and weigh food, i know i would just never make it. I think it's also really important to lose weight eating higher calories rather than starve yourself right off the bat. If you can lose weight eating 2000-2500 calories then you should do that until you stop, then cut down from there.
My stall finally broke after 7 months. I just stuck with keto and didn't go off the rails. I got about 10 pounds from my goal and my body put the brakes on. Thank goodness that's over! I'm losing again at about a pound a week. Yay!
@@ketotwins LOL! I know!!!! What I don't get is when they say, "I feel so energized after working out!" It makes me feel like I must have been doing it wrong 😅
I grew up on a dairy farm and willingly gave up drinking milk for my health. We also have a cheese drawer AND a couple of Rubbermaid cheese boxes for an assortment of cheeses. We also eat OMAD.
this Monday i went out with some friends and broke my KETO diet for a night. i had 3 20oz beers and people, it wrecked me. i was useless until about 2:30 the next day. good news is that my stomach was so upset that i didnt eat anything but an avocado the next day, so i got back on track fairly quickly... but for me, when i want to jump start some movement, i would just cut a little from your routine and do a 6/18 intermittent fasting routine for a few days. it kicks in gear and then start staggering the I.F. to every other day. if you're weightloss stalls again, i typically do a meal resent to 3 per day. cheat days dont really help me jump start a new wave of weightloss. it typically shows a small weight increase with a quick drop back to plateau
I truly believe we are karmic “triplets” after listening to this video. I tried the whole gym routine and bought machines that I never used. This is only one example of our similarities. Don’t feel like you’re bizarre. You’re just like me!
Yup. That was a tough one. I'm here on the days hubby gets home early and has fixed brunch. Had to start catching him at the door LOVE YOU NOOOO LUNCHY...NOOOOOOOOO LUNCHY. Yup. Water. Every other day, not enough. Clear water in and out cleanses the body. 3 days, the body acclimates. Yes!!! I'm a cheesehead. Had it every meal. Went through withdrawal (morphine quality in casein). 2 oz every other day since 2 days ago on my carnivore challenge. I only weigh my cheese. Both of you could do VS right now! Not condoning it but... nope, no rush. Been fat since 9. Space time continuum. Scifi girls??? 💜This year man! August 12th already!!! Time IS flying at 53. 🕛🕢🕦
I started my weight loss by drinking 1 cup hot water with 1tbsp lemon juice, 1tbsp natural apple cider vinegar, 1tsp cinnamon,1tbsp natural honey first thing in the morning and 45 min before bed for several weeks along with calorie reduction. Worked very well for me and then I came across your channel and was inspired to try keto lifestyle. Your videos are real life and inspiring.
I worked with a woman who was very healthy, walked daily, but drank coffee all day long. She developed dementia and is now down to 79lbs because she’s losing the ability to swallow. It’s so sad. I talked to her daughter who couldn’t make sense of how her mom got dementia, she never drank or even took prescription drugs. I looked up excessive coffee consumption and dementia and sure enough a UK study(I think) showed and increased risk for dementia by 52% with people who drank 6cups of coffee a day.
Overall people consume too much sugar. And I definitely think sugar effects the brain. But coffee is a fairly recent thing in history; I think only about the past 500 years have people been drinking coffee on a daily basis. There’s definitely good TH-cam videos explaining the dangers of coffee for motivation to quit the addiction. This is from pubmed: “Caffeine increases energy metabolism throughout the brain but decreases at the same time cerebral blood flow, inducing a relative brain hypoperfusion. Caffeine activates noradrenaline neurons and seems to affect the local release of dopamine. Many of the alerting effects of caffeine may be related to the action of the methylxanthine on serotonin neurons. The methylxanthine induces dose-response increases in locomotor activity in animals. Its psychostimulant action on man is, however, often subtle and not very easy to detect. The effects of caffeine on learning, memory, performance and coordination are rather related to the methylxanthine action on arousal, vigilance and fatigue. Caffeine exerts obvious effects on anxiety and sleep which vary according to individual sensitivity to the methylxanthine. However, children in general do not appear more sensitive to methylxanthine effects than adults. The central nervous system does not seem to develop a great tolerance to the effects of caffeine although dependence and withdrawal symptoms are reported.
Make sure you take in more fiber like salads. Kale, Romaine, feta cheese, nuts in the salad like walnuts, you hink your time goes slow, mine at 79 is going really fast, I wake up and it's time to go to bed. I can't run, the jarring hurts my body it has since I was a teen.
I hated drinking water at first... but then I discovered Essentia water... its kinda pricey like Fiji water but a cold bottle of Essentia is awesome. I drink 4, 33oz bottles a day now.
hope you have a Costco near you for shopping? they have more and more healthy and organic food. it's my happy place! get a few steps in too!. another great MOTIVATING vid girls!!! thank you!!!
food now in time is so processed and the processors want to sell food because the human body says feed me, but the food they produce when you read the ingredients is not food but stuff you don't what it is.
I guess I'm going to rethink what I've been eating since a lot of keto video's on TH-cam praise the chaffle. I'm new to this (only a couple of months) but haven't lost much. About 6-7 lbs. Just started walking this week. Need to drink more water. But backing off the cheese (which I love) sent to me a mixed signal with ALL the chaffle videos out there. Oh well. Do what you gotta do.
You can eat chaffles. But you have to be aware of how much you are eating. A chaffle (of ours) has 160 calories each. If you are stalled for long periods of time you are more than likely eating too much. -Em
@@ketotwins Wow. Thanks for the quick reply. Wasn't expecting one. Thanks for the insight. I started at 330lbs couple of months ago. Since starting, I've been bouncing around 319-324 (67 yrs old). I really like your channel. Very helpful. The fact that you two lovely lady's have been successful in a large amount of weight loss, adds credibility and experience. Your desire to help others is encouraging. Keep up the good work. Hopefully when I get it figured out, I'll be able to "get down to where I said I'd never get up to be" . ;)
I’ve been doing this for a month and I’ve lost nothing. In the morning, I drink Keto Coffee, so about 8:00am, then around 11am, I’ll have chaffel with avocado and bacon, then around 5:00-6:30 depdending on my dinner break at work, I’ll eat a steak, some low carb veggie, and beef and cabbage for dinner. I’ll go home around 11:15 PM and maybe have a low carb ice cream bar before bed.
How much do you have to lose? Are you taking measurements? It will take months to see a real difference. You just need to keeping going. I’d cut the keto products for a while to see if it makes a difference. We don’t recommend them during the first few months to optimize weight loss! We use them for maintenance mode. Hope this helps Michelle! -Sarah
@@ketotwins I’m happy to report that I’ve lost a total of 18lbs and I’m not even sure how many inches, but that part is obvious, especially in clothing. I’m menopausal so it took time for me to figure out what I can eat that won’t bloat me. So I do know that I need to eat plenty of protein and less veggies and berries and keto snacks. Those keto snacks were killing me. So I need to keep those to a serious minimum.
@@Michelle-wd2oy I don't know if you'll see this response but what you said about eating Keto for one month and not losing is my biggest fear. I'm 22 days in and I lost 12 pounds but gained back 1. Every day I fear I won't lose a pound and if I go up, I freak out. I know I shouldn't weigh every day but I can't help myself! I was wondering how you're doing 7 months later? I'm also in menopause. Right now my hormones are wacked out.
@@TracieClaiborne I’m still eating low carb. Over the 7 months I’ve been eating various ways. I went to not drinking coffee at all, now I have a cup a day. I ate only beef for a couple of months, now I’ve introduced different meats and green vegetables and an occasional fruit, mandarins. I had a weird craving for them that hasn’t stopped. I cut out eggs for now, I eat Keto yogurt and 4 sausage patties for breakfast. I haven’t fasted in months, I was doing that a lot in the summer. My weight has been consistent, but I think I have gained some inches. I should probably cut out alcohol. I do think being menopausal is making my weight loss a bit harder. I also haven’t exercised, so I’m going to start incorporating that when the weather gets better here in Michigan. You can do this, you’ll loose inches before weight most likely. I strongly encourage you to try it. I think you’ll find that its not that hard.
I gave up dairy cold turkey on Easter Sunday this year and lost the last 30 pounds just from doing this one thing. I’ve lost 70 in total. It was the hardest thing as I was the type of person who ate cheese on cheese! Between the Sunday and the Wednesday I lost 6 pounds! I never had any GIT upset with dairy but I obviously had inflammation with it. I don’t miss it at all now 7 months later x
Lack of water and getting wasted on nuts are my downfall! Ive had to lose 5 lbs for 6 month's! Hover around 140 with a goal of 135. Start off walking! I am up to 2-3 miles twice a day and have a hitt trainer if the weather is bad
I know this is a yr. Old video, bit have you tried the Mio drops? I drink so much water now, I have to stop myself from drinking it at work. I pee every 15 min.
Great tips!! I'll share one of mine.... my excercise is grocery shopping lol. I walk for a reason, it's just not enjoyable for me, but one excercise is! ... rebounding on a mini trampoline.... you can lose so fast with little effort. I can watch a 30 min program while doing a walking motion and loose weekly... moving to music is even better. Its private and fun. Enjoy!!
Can yall give us some examples to know how to do an omad? I mean,I already try it for a week but I didn't lose nothing at all. So I dont if that giant one meal,that was that exactly, so giant😅🤭 so maybe that's way it didn't worked for me. I would like to see some examples of what yall eat in a day doing omad
I love the dog just casually walking thru! 😂
Lol 😆 If you see me running,
Call the police ...........too funny!

Me too! That helps!
I don't stress over numbers either.

Awesome tips ladies! I'm trying to do more IF. So hard... i just have zero will power lately its sooo frustrating!
What about the zero sugar squashes for mixing & flavouring water ...so nice with hot water
I so relate to you 2! I will try a gallon of water a day! Already doing OMAD.
Loving these videos they keep me going ! 8 lbs down :) Both are so beautiful! Before and after weight loss!

Your videos are so helpful - and I love that you don't like exercise - first time I've heard health proponents being so honest. Refreshing!
Aww thanks Kay, maybe someday we will enjoy exercise, I know we should be doing it 🥴-Em
So with you on the lazy keto. If i had to track and weigh food, i know i would just never make it. I think it's also really important to lose weight eating higher calories rather than starve yourself right off the bat.

I am right there with you on the water. I have been really trying hard to drink at least 3 bottles a day and even that is a struggle! ugh!
I always have to add stuff to it, it helps me drink more 🥴 -Sarah
Great tips. I don’t think I could ever give up my cheese. 🧀 I have cut back on it though. 😁
Cheese is the hardest thing to give up! I’ll try every other tip first 😂-Emily
I'm guilty of the keto snacking lately 😕 and the scale isn't moving. I know what I must do....🤞
ACV...when I'm consistent, I do lose. Exercise...meh. 30 minutes every for 2 weeks, this week, not at all...😒
Good video !!! You guys are entertaining for sure 👍
A better tip is cut back on the coffee because it makes your cortisol go up and your insulin and that is how you keep weight. And add weight.
I’m working on cutting back now! -Sarah
I am NEVER EVER buying another protein bar EVER EVER EVER GATEWAY FÒOD FOR ME! starting an egg fast tomorrow.great video as always love yall 🙋♀️🙋♀️
How is it going so far?
Great video alot of good tips. Also I enjoyed the chuckle here and there.

Coffee has water in it but it does not count as drinking water because caffeine stimulates urination.

Coffee is life, haha! I have never tried the nut pods but I hear they are really good! Going to have to try it soon! -Emily
You guys are hilarious! Great video! And great editing! ;) I'm trying to get in more water daily as well! Hoping for a WHOOSH!
I like walking...but I need to work up to 10k steps a day
Try a plank challenge, it really changed my arms when I did it.
Interesting that it would change your arms. How did you do the challenge?
Dance....the best exercise...tones the body and so much fun!
food now in time is so processed and the processors want to sell food because the human body says feed me, but the food they produce when you read the ingredients is not food but stuff you don't what it is.
I guess I'm going to rethink what I've been eating since a lot of keto video's on TH-cam praise the chaffle. I'm new to this (only a couple of months) but haven't lost much. About 6-7 lbs. Just started walking this week. Need to drink more water. But backing off the cheese (which I love) sent to me a mixed signal with ALL the chaffle videos out there. Oh well. Do what you gotta do.
You can eat chaffles. But you have to be aware of how much you are eating. A chaffle (of ours) has 160 calories each. If you are stalled for long periods of time you are more than likely eating too much. -Em
@@ketotwins Wow. Thanks for the quick reply. Wasn't expecting one. Thanks for the insight. I started at 330lbs couple of months ago. Since starting, I've been bouncing around 319-324 (67 yrs old). I really like your channel. Very helpful. The fact that you two lovely lady's have been successful in a large amount of weight loss, adds credibility and experience. Your desire to help others is encouraging. Keep up the good work. Hopefully when I get it figured out, I'll be able to "get down to where I said I'd never get up to be" . ;)
Lol I agree I hate exercising!
I’ve been doing this for a month and I’ve lost nothing. In the morning, I drink Keto Coffee, so about 8:00am, then around 11am, I’ll have chaffel with avocado and bacon, then around 5:00-6:30 depdending on my dinner break at work, I’ll eat a steak, some low carb veggie, and beef and cabbage for dinner. I’ll go home around 11:15 PM and maybe have a low carb ice cream bar before bed.
How much do you have to lose? Are you taking measurements? It will take months to see a real difference. You just need to keeping going. I’d cut the keto products for a while to see if it makes a difference. We don’t recommend them during the first few months to optimize weight loss! We use them for maintenance mode. Hope this helps Michelle! -Sarah
Don’t eat after three hours before bed. Count your macros and make sure you have enough calories.
@@ketotwins I’m happy to report that I’ve lost a total of 18lbs and I’m not even sure how many inches, but that part is obvious, especially in clothing. I’m menopausal so it took time for me to figure out what I can eat that won’t bloat me. So I do know that I need to eat plenty of protein and less veggies and berries and keto snacks. Those keto snacks were killing me. So I need to keep those to a serious minimum.
@@Michelle-wd2oy I don't know if you'll see this response but what you said about eating Keto for one month and not losing is my biggest fear. I'm 22 days in and I lost 12 pounds but gained back 1. Every day I fear I won't lose a pound and if I go up, I freak out. I know I shouldn't weigh every day but I can't help myself! I was wondering how you're doing 7 months later? I'm also in menopause. Right now my hormones are wacked out.
@@TracieClaiborne I’m still eating low carb. Over the 7 months I’ve been eating various ways. I went to not drinking coffee at all, now I have a cup a day. I ate only beef for a couple of months, now I’ve introduced different meats and green vegetables and an occasional fruit, mandarins. I had a weird craving for them that hasn’t stopped. I cut out eggs for now, I eat Keto yogurt and 4 sausage patties for breakfast. I haven’t fasted in months, I was doing that a lot in the summer. My weight has been consistent, but I think I have gained some inches. I should probably cut out alcohol. I do think being menopausal is making my weight loss a bit harder. I also haven’t exercised, so I’m going to start incorporating that when the weather gets better here in Michigan. You can do this, you’ll loose inches before weight most likely. I strongly encourage you to try it. I think you’ll find that its not that hard.
I say that too. If you find me dead on a running track. Know that I was murdered elsewhere and dumped here.
🤣 sameee! -Em
I broke my plateau finally!!!!! Wooohooooo!!!!
Yayy!!!! Congrats!!! -em
Keto Twins thank you!!!
I read some where that you physically lose the fat by urinating, sweating or exhaling.
I’m going to try cut down/out dairy for a few days and see if that helps me out😁 also cut down on what I eat😗
Rin let us know if you see results! We would love to hear about it ❤️😁-Em
I gave up dairy cold turkey on Easter Sunday this year and lost the last 30 pounds just from doing this one thing. I’ve lost 70 in total. It was the hardest thing as I was the type of person who ate cheese on cheese! Between the Sunday and the Wednesday I lost 6 pounds! I never had any GIT upset with dairy but I obviously had inflammation with it. I don’t miss it at all now 7 months later x
Workouts are key.
Need to get better at working out for sure! -Emily
@@ketotwins you ladie's are great!
Lack of water and getting wasted on nuts are my downfall! Ive had to lose 5 lbs for 6 month's! Hover around 140 with a goal of 135.
Start off walking! I am up to 2-3 miles twice a day and have a hitt trainer if the weather is bad
Nuts are sooo good but so easy to over eat 😑 definitely guilty of that! 2-3 miles twice a day?! That’s amazing! -Emily
I love the comment.... if I am running I am being chased and call the police. My sentiments as well regarding exercise. 😀
Same Colleen, same 🤣🤣-Em
I know this is a yr. Old video, bit have you tried the Mio drops? I drink so much water now, I have to stop myself from drinking it at work. I pee every 15 min.
We have not tried those yet! We usually drink LMNT (citrus salt is our fav)
@@ketotwins I just watched one of your videos, and y'all talked about that!
Oh my gosh
I drink 16 ozs a day🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Do you keep your plus sized clothes just in case or do you get rid of them as you go?
Gave them away, keeping them makes it easier to ignore weight gain. 😊
Do you use my fitness pal app to track food
We really don’t track on keto, we try to eat one meal a day most days! -Em
Great tips!! I'll share one of mine.... my excercise is grocery shopping lol. I walk for a reason, it's just not enjoyable for me, but one excercise is! ... rebounding on a mini trampoline.... you can lose so fast with little effort. I can watch a 30 min program while doing a walking motion and loose weekly... moving to music is even better. Its private and fun. Enjoy!!
How often do you weight yourself?
Once a week or so
Can yall give us some examples to know how to do an omad? I mean,I already try it for a week but I didn't lose nothing at all. So I dont if that giant one meal,that was that exactly, so giant😅🤭 so maybe that's way it didn't worked for me. I would like to see some examples of what yall eat in a day doing omad
Any meal that we make on this channel is what we eat OMAD 🤣, we don’t count calories we just eat until we are full -Em
@@ketotwins ok I understand now haha🙊 so maybe omad it wasn't for me lol. I do IF also so thats better for me
Wow!
No water, all coffee!!? Think I’m doing way better than I thought!
Whats a normal bmi for us women? 29 or under?
I’m not sure, it depends on your height -Sarah
careful, the max amount of water to drink a day before kidney harm is half your body weight in ounces.
Ya i gotta cut out cheese. 🥲
A gallon is too much, 3-79 liters! You will just flush out your electrolytes, maybe half a gallon with coffee as bonus fluid lol
Haha yeah we haven’t gotten that far yet, half a gallon would be a big improvement 😂-Em
The math board 🤣²ⁿ×⅘^⁹
Much of your water comes from your food choices.
I think you might drink 64oz. A day next work up. You’ll see 🥰
I love brie and I'm a mayo girl
As you age, each day becomes a smaller fraction of your life.
You guys are looking more and more identical if that makes any sense lol
Try walking challenge
what about a sitting challenge?? 😂 -Emily
Are either of you a Mama?
No, we do not have any children -Sarah
Do you guys have kids?
We do not -Em
