Thanks for the great advice! I'm with you, losing the weight isn't the issue, but keeping it off is HARD. I lost 83 pounds in 2018 but gained it all back. I like how you say, "keep it simple". Meat, veg, butter. I'm restarting again but I'm determined to make it my lifestyle choice.
I keep watching you because you are beautiful people. I started keto in March '20. Found you soon after. You were so real and so supportive and fun. Very encouraging! I dropped 50 pounds over 2 years. Also dropped my A1C by a whole point. Went from pre-diabetic to the low end of normal. I've been maintaining ever since. Thank you for what you do!
Channels like yours are what help keep me in ketosis, simply because keeping off the weight is waaaaay easier if your not bored with your meals. Keep up the fantastic content!
Important point: You will be on maintenance a lot longer than you will be losing weight. That made me realize why we all enjoy your test kitchen KETO adventures so much. Maintenance is harder to "endure" if there is no variety after the weight loss success. That is what your videos address.... keeping maintenance interesting. I hope I summed it up correctly. Thanks for all you do! Happy New Year!
Outstanding content! You’ve helped me stay on track for almost 2 yrs now. I’m down 97 lbs. It’s truly a lifestyle rather than a diet. Like you, my body requires less food/calories than when I was 242lbs. So at this point, it’s about our mindset rather than focusing on losing weight. The fact that we know we have to eat like this from now on is very empowering. I’m learning a workable maintenance phase. It’s a different journey now so I will watch for more of your content on maintenance. Thanks ladies! 💕👏👍
I believe that the way you do it by being relaxed about it and not obsessing about weight is the best way to keep it off. I will have to get one of your tee shirts. 😊. I lost 30 pounds quickly at the beginning of my journey. But then it became a struggle to lose the last 10. Now I focus on my health and how I feel. So like you I’m clean keto sometimes and dirty keto other times. I don’t feel deprived at all which makes it a sustainable lifestyle for me. Love your recipes also and your reviews of them. You are getting closer to your 175k subscriber goal. 😁. Great advice!
Very informative video and helpful! Thank you Ladies! I have been counting calories lower carb. I have lost 33 pounds, but I haven't lost any more weight for a few months now. I am 68. I think I will try keeping it simple. Right now I weigh 214, just losing the weight I have I feel so much better than I did. I just want to feel better and to be able to move around better. I really enjoyed this video and all the other ones. You both are very inspiring ! ❤️
I don't watch because I want to lose weight. I watch because I have insulin dependent diabetes and am always interested in new low carb recipes that I can modify to meet the needs of my condition. Love you guys.
Just found your channel today and subscribed. I am on Keto for the health benefits. I did not need the weight loss and now I need to gain weight back. Your recipes offer options to try to gain weight without going off keto 😊
I have lost 140 pounds on keto. For me weighing myself daily has been my success at keeping my weight off. By weighing daily I can see if the scale is going up five pounds and I can put a stop to the regain and get that weight back off. Your subscribers should give it a try and keep the weight written down on a calendar.
Thanks for this video. I started keto in 2015. Lost 40 pounds in 5 months and kept it off for about 3 years. Then I slowly went back to my old habits. Have gained 30 back. I really think that watching your videos has inspired me to try again! You both are amazing!!
Wise words, as always, ladies! The one thing I would add is, the older you are, the longer the weight loss portion of the journey takes (for me it was about a year and a half, I started in January 2020, at age 59)… but the principle remains the same, the weight loss part is the “short” part, maintenance is for the rest of your life… but maybe it’s actually a benefit if the weight loss part takes longer, because the longer it takes, the more likely you are to have gone through the mental shift needed to come to grips with the need to watch the carbs forever! Anyways, Happy Boxing Day today, and I look forward to more fun content in 2024!
OMG I really needed this today. I'm 22 months on keto, or as I think it, low net carb. It's xmas, so it is so hard not to eat the high carb xmas food, especially when a friend makes the best xmas cake and rocky road for you as a gift. A friend who knows I don't eat that anymore..... So, I had a little and today I've gone back to simple and gave most of the "gift" to others who are not keto. Thanks, perfect timing, before the scales blow out.
I absolutely love to bake. I do make keto friendly foods but I also make the super delicious high carb desserts. My trick is to have a “tiny” bit and then I take the rest to work. They don’t mind, 😂 (much). Setting healthy boundaries is important.
I started keto years ago for the same reason to loose weight. I stayed on it for a good 3 years. I felt great and looked great but then I started throwing carbs back in the mix and eventually just started eating trash again. Now I'm pregnant and I have gestational diabetes and I have something so much more important to do this for then how I look. I dont even want to think about sugar right now I just want to be healthy and I want my baby healthy and that is my motivation now.
Thank you for your vulnerability. This video spoke to me. I’m one year and three months on keto. I used to go to extremes. Major weight loss followed by major weight gain. I needed to find balance. Thank you both for all you do
I love it, years ago I did Atkins and lost 65 lbs and kept it off for years! Then chips and dip happened! I never counted… now that I restarted same goes, I don’t count, I don’t keep track I just eat low carb foods! ❤ thankyou! Your recipes help me change it up a bit so we aren’t bored!
This was just what I needed to hear today. I've wondered how you have kept off your weight making these recipes. I've maintained my weight loss since 2019. It is a challenge. I don't stray much from the simple as for me it triggers me to overeat. Hearing from you both how I feel about food really helped! Thanks for the video!!!!
Bravo! Key word... BALANCE! That way a person doesn't over or under eat or become to restrictive and deprive themselves of "desert" so to speak. Real Life isn't restrictive it's a give and take of having fun vs being serious and has to be BALANCED! 👍🏽👍🏽
I started Keto back in February of this year. I haven't really found it restrictive, I kind of find it liberating. I had researched Keto and intermittent fasting (which I thought I couldn't do) and then I decided to quit carbs cold turkey. I don't obsess over my macros and test my sugar. I just figure out what I will eat, try to make sure it's clean, and keep my eating window small. I lost about 40 pounds and still counting. I do miss certain things on Keto, but thanks to your videos I know about more options. The Keto community is innovative and it's great that everyone is sharing these recipes. If I do want something I used to eat before, I know there's a way to make it Keto. The only downside I've seen about Keto is when I tell people I'm now low carb and the first reaction is: I couldn't live without carbs.
Its amazing how your body adapts ... but you have to give it time which patience is a big part of it. I appreciate you Ladies testing and trying different products that personally I didn't know existed. Thank You
I watch your channel because I enjoy your banter and new recipes for low carb eating. I only needed to lose 15 pounds and did so on keto without much pain. After 3 years, I’m so used to it it’s just habit. I can have one bite of bread, pasta, or dessert and be satisfied. I lost 5 bonus pounds when I started jogging in the morning. I’m more fit and thin than I was pre children, and I feel more energetic at 61 than I did in my 40’s thanks to keto! Keep up the great work and I really appreciate your content 🤗
Due to a recent diabetes diagnosis, I had to go healthy keto. From you, I have tons of white flour alternatives and fruit that I can live with. lost around 45 lbs. and blood sugars and blood pressure is dropping. I still cant find a "perfect" alternative to hash browns and French fries) so I do without, but love how i look and feel. Thanks a bunch.
You’re absolutely right!! I started first with clean keto which was very overwhelming to keep that way. I’m watching you now for a view month and because of you both I can follow the more relaxed keto way without being overwhelmed and giving up all together. Happy New Year ❤🎉
I find it less stressful to shop and eat clean and simply… minimal seasonings and substitutes, short list of grocery items. The creative stuff look like eye candy but I can only do it occasionally 😊 At the end… simple ends up nourishing, satiating. Very very true… balance… and know what it takes to stay on track. Research says we put on average 1-2 lbs a year as we age. So it takes work to keep it in check.
Great video! My Roman Empire is my health! Began keto 1/1/2023, down -60, and your channel helped. It helped open my eyes to other ways to eat certain foods. The My Carb Manager app helped me with calorie control also. The older we are, 65+ we need less calories and our bodies don’t burn fat as efficiently. Clean Keto helped get me started. The macros helped me, because was NOT eating enough fat! It was a huge learning curve to relearn how to eat in order to get into Ketosis. As I approach my goal, I am eating “more dirty food” and have added in some different carbs. But I do use the app, the macros and weigh weekly. Thank you for this!
i put on 10 lbs since november:( I know I can lose it just getting back on the keto track and I will because after losing 112 lbs I know it works ! I hope anyone trying to improve their health doesn’t give up ! don’t give up on yourself it’s SO worth it 💕
Great points, ladies! I have been (mostly) keto for over 6 years now. I agree, you have to keep the food interesting to stick with the program. I lost over 50 pounds over 5 years ago and I keep it off by varying my menu and small amounts of keto treats from time to time. By the way, this has been, by far, the easiest lifestyle to maintain....I am 67 years old and was on the "diet yo-yo" for many years. You two are so much fun to watch. Folks, they know what works so listen up!
You gals are great! I do use GLP meds to help on my journey and I have been keto. I started at 345 and now at 182! It has taken me 2 years. I am over 50 and post menopause. You gals have been a huge help making all this possible. I send everyone who is curious here first.
lost 30 pounds before covid then gained about 2/3 back, started again in June, lost some (don't know how much but clothes are looser) My first goal was to get A1c, cholesterol and triglicerides into normal range. after just a couple months that was accomplished, went from 6.9 to 6.5 A1c prediabetic to high end of normal. That was encouragement enough to keep going. you are correct when you say that to lose and as a normal lifestyle , keep it simple. Everyone has thair favorite set meals i am sure. I have a couple standards I use. Change it up very rarely but that works for me. I miss fruit but I eat raspberries/strawberries ..keep up the contect, your honest reviews and honest discussion around the psychology of this lifestyle really helps!
This video - to me - is the video for me. It would be great - because you are honest about what your journey has been - to have a weekly support group. That is for a lack of better terminology....but an open group that can talk about their journey and the two of you provide guidance. This is a lifestyle for me and I am still on my weight loss journey. However, I KNOW that eating simply is the best results - you are right. Stress is a contributor or inhibitor to weight loss, but eating simply is straight up correct and when I always see the most success. Thank you for this deeply honest video ladies!
You can't argue with success, and yours is mind boggling! You are two lovely, funny, real women. Your videos are entertaining and helpful. PS: Some of us are not longer on keto but we watch you because you are fun!
This is such clear advice and I am taking it to heart! I am at 260 now too and it is overwhelming to think of all the effort ahead to move some of that weight. Meat, green veg and butter for a clean and clear start. Best wishes from Ireland for 2024.
Love you guys! I am here for the maintenance ideas and the fun stuff in between the meat and veg... :D. But your other channel was also very helpful with the keeping it off and mental mindshift. I am a year and a half into the keto lifestyle but still in the "I can't believe I am thinner than I was till I see it in the mirror" phase...
Thanks Gals! Been keto since 2018. Love your channel, love what you do! I agree with everything you are saying! I keep it simple part time, I play with yummy keto recipes part time! It is a balancing act, but this is my forever lifestyle, just like you are saying! Thanks for the reminder! ❤
I just want to say Thank you for your channel. I'm a type 2 diabetic and gluten free as well. I have found so many useful recipes and ideas on your channel and I have halved my blood sugar levels and lost well over 10kgs in a couple of months. I absolutely loved the Daikon video you made, it's my favourite veggie now lol and I often have a nice almond meal mug cake as a wee treat. You're both very inspiring and I have improved my health and added new foods to my diet thanks to your videos. Please keep doing what you do 🙏🏼💞
Your discussion is spot on. For me, alternate daily fasting is what kickstarted a whole lifestyle / lifetime change. I'd enjoy hearing more about how you incorporate fasting--I know you've mentioned it in other videos.
An inspiration. Moderation and no "all or nothing" can be hard becuase that requires perfection or no perfction. Where consitancy matters more. Perfect message.
We’re going back hard on keto next week. I have motivation but I need more like this. I’ve probably gained back about 1/2 that I lost and I so t feel well.
not obsessing IS a stress reduction need. Stress will stall any weight loss goal. Stress and obsessing will release cortisol the stress hormone.... sad, but true. NOT Obsessing is your golden ticket. Good job ladies.😎😎
Thank you so much for making this video. It’s exactly what I needed to hear today. I love keto and can lose the weight, I always end up gaining it back! Not this time. I have a new found motivation!
So I agree with all the comments here This is a lifestyle The key is to continue to learn and try new channels with new content and new recipes as long as they are simple There are a lot of great content creators out there and finding the ones that are interesting and humorous will help so much These ladies are amazing and very good at what they do Their advice is well thought out relatable and sensible They are one of my go-to's for all things keto/low carb ❤
I just love your videos. Sometimes I miss some of them. I just get busy with life. I don't call mine a dirty keto diet. I call it a lifestyle. I have kept 40 pounds off for two and a half years. I don't feel denied either. I do fasting as well. I try to avoid sugar at all costs. When I've had too much I feel sick. I have hated the smell of donuts for the last three years. Haven't had one for about that long too. I don't crave them or sugar. My motto is - Thinner tastes better.
This IS very helpful VERY ! I sent this to my son ....I have been on Keto/Intermittent fasting almost a year (march) and I have lost almost what I set my goal to (I am 66 yrs old with debilitating health issues5 ft tall very petite and was 175 now 120 but between covid and spinal surgery lost a significant amt of muscle thats what Im working on now toning and creating muscle I lost...one doc says for my age dont lose anymore maintain what you lost and excecize which I am....but I have become obsessed with writing down figuring out etc and end up not eating enough food or proteinI never miss your show and this one I needed to hear .....can you do one how you toned up during and beyond weightloss ? Keep it up girls you have great content !!! Julianna NC
I'd never heard of the Roman Empire question, but funnily enough, it's come up twice today for me. Once because I noticed the DVD set 'ROME' on my shelf and thought, 'hey, I'd like to watch that again', and later because it came up in conversation with my daughter when we were talking about colonization and conquering cultures. So funny.
This video resonated with me so much and was exactly what I needed to hear as a long time on and off keto person. Can't believe I'm only just finding you both now. Subscribed 😊
Ive been on keto 5 years. I lost 30lb. I think...i am small framed and 5'3". So, i was too afraid to weigh myself at heaviest. I got down to 112, but relaxed...my husband gained a lot back and switched to noom. He is the family chef. It really doesn't work for me. So i just switched back to keto...and im excited to get back to my goal weight. I miss those clothes too.
These how to videos are very encouraging. I know you said your meat and vegies regime is not interesting to the majority but could you throw them in occasionally for the minority of us That would like to see the grind of it? Personally when i see my fav tubers do what im doing it feels like i have keto buddies. 😊
That's the great thing about a channel...we can go back and watch HOW you did it...but lovely to watch your playful banter with Monkmusic moments in your realtime maintenance. Thank you for recording your journey! 💃💃💜💜
I enjoy watching you two. You've so entertaining and also informative. I've been on keto mostly faithfully for almost a year and have lost about 40 pounds. I've been cheating too much lately but it's interesting that when I do cheat, I'm almost always disappointed that the food isn't as good as I thought it would be. Except for hash browns. I'm never disappointed in hash browns. 😉 I'm glad the holidays are almost over. I'm looking forward to not cheating anymore. For a while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
i lost 100 pounds over a year then went off keto and gained back 50 pounds i learned my lesson lol i'm back on keto now and have lost almost 20 pounds again so now i guess i'm Technically Keto for life !
Thank you. I’m trying to restart and need your kind encouragement. All I want is to re-lose this 30pounds. I do not belong to FB anymore so I will follow you here and on IG. (67 year old female). Today is day 1 … again….
You two are always entertaining and a true blessing. You have it exactly right. Balance is key. Looking forward to watching you both this coming year. I know I will learn from you both and enjoy it as well! Thanks and Happy New Year!❤️❤️😊
@loribrick519 I am in the same boat. I lost 40 lbs and am in my healthy weight range, but would love to lose 10 more lbs to just feel a little better. Even though I am still eating under 20 net carbs a day, the weight has stalled. Back to basics should help with this hopefully.
I want to eat healthy. That’s it. Low carb, low sugar. I am thin and don’t want to lose weight. My problem is trying to eat low carb and NOT lose weight.
That is what I’ve been doing. Can’t have this or that. People try to get me to partake in desserts/etc. Then I know one bite this time two bites next time and three and so on so I’m better off just not eating it.
Would you consider doing a new what you eat and drink in a day? And, the cost? Steak and chicken is great, but also pricey. Also, what do you do when you’re craving something fattening?
thanks for your words of wisdom !~!! I love your motivational videos. There's always some new little tidbit for me to think about !!! Here's to my sucess in 2024 !!!
Thanks for the great advice! I'm with you, losing the weight isn't the issue, but keeping it off is HARD. I lost 83 pounds in 2018 but gained it all back. I like how you say, "keep it simple". Meat, veg, butter. I'm restarting again but I'm determined to make it my lifestyle choice.
my story the same. Never reached goal weight. keeping it off and consistently keeping to the plan is key. Luv the "Technically Keto" ideology.
You’ll do it. 😊
I keep watching you because you are beautiful people. I started keto in March '20. Found you soon after. You were so real and so supportive and fun. Very encouraging! I dropped 50 pounds over 2 years. Also dropped my A1C by a whole point. Went from pre-diabetic to the low end of normal. I've been maintaining ever since. Thank you for what you do!
Channels like yours are what help keep me in ketosis, simply because keeping off the weight is waaaaay easier if your not bored with your meals. Keep up the fantastic content!

Thanks for all you do! Happy New Year!
I fluctuate between 5-10 lbs. and I’m very ok with that. I’ve lost a total of 100 lbs in a year and your “technically keto” works best for me now.
Outstanding content! You’ve helped me stay on track for almost 2 yrs now.
I’m down 97 lbs.
It’s truly a lifestyle rather than a diet.
Like you, my body requires less food/calories than when I was 242lbs.
So at this point, it’s about our mindset rather than focusing on losing weight.
The fact that we know we have to eat like this from now on is very empowering.
I’m learning a workable maintenance phase. It’s a different journey now so I will watch for more of your content on maintenance.
Thanks ladies! 💕👏👍
45 lbs this year without hardly thinking about it. Obsessing about food-diet is an addiction. Keto lifestyle, keeping it simple, cures the addiction.
I believe that the way you do it by being relaxed about it and not obsessing about weight is the best way to keep it off. I will have to get one of your tee shirts. 😊. I lost 30 pounds quickly at the beginning of my journey. But then it became a struggle to lose the last 10. Now I focus on my health and how I feel.

Great advice! Meat, veg butter....so much more 'fun' than counting / calculating macros. Thank you for showing me to just "eat simply".
I don't watch because I want to lose weight. I watch because I have insulin dependent diabetes and am always interested in new low carb recipes that I can modify to meet the needs of my condition. Love you guys.

I have a dear friend who inquired about my lifestyle. I told her about Keto. I also referred her to your channel. She is 9 days in and feeling great.

That was encouragement enough to keep going. you are correct when you say that to lose and as a normal lifestyle , keep it simple. Everyone has thair favorite set meals i am sure. I have a couple standards I use. Change it up very rarely but that works for me. I miss fruit but I eat raspberries/strawberries ..keep up the contect, your honest reviews and honest discussion around the psychology of this lifestyle really helps!
We want to wish we two a Happy New Year! Love your videos very informative and funny at times. ❤❤
This video - to me - is the video for me. It would be great - because you are honest about what your journey has been - to have a weekly support group. That is for a lack of better terminology....but an open group that can talk about their journey and the two of you provide guidance. This is a lifestyle for me and I am still on my weight loss journey. However, I KNOW that eating simply is the best results - you are right. Stress is a contributor or inhibitor to weight loss, but eating simply is straight up correct and when I always see the most success. Thank you for this deeply honest video ladies!
You can't argue with success, and yours is mind boggling! You are two lovely, funny, real women. Your videos are entertaining and helpful. PS: Some of us are not longer on keto but we watch you because you are fun!
This is such clear advice and I am taking it to heart! I am at 260 now too and it is overwhelming to think of all the effort ahead to move some of that weight. Meat, green veg and butter for a clean and clear start. Best wishes from Ireland for 2024.
Love you guys! I am here for the maintenance ideas and the fun stuff in between the meat and veg... :D. But your other channel was also very helpful with the keeping it off and mental mindshift. I am a year and a half into the keto lifestyle but still in the "I can't believe I am thinner than I was till I see it in the mirror" phase...
I started out well then plateaued. Trying to get back to losing. Thanks for everything.
I needed to hear this. Thank you and appreciate this video. I was making keto/low carb too complicated. Make it easy. Thank you! So helpful.
Thanks Gals! Been keto since 2018. Love your channel, love what you do! I agree with everything you are saying! I keep it simple part time, I play with yummy keto recipes part time! It is a balancing act, but this is my forever lifestyle, just like you are saying! Thanks for the reminder! ❤
I just want to say Thank you for your channel. I'm a type 2 diabetic and gluten free as well. I have found so many useful recipes and ideas on your channel and I have halved my blood sugar levels and lost well over 10kgs in a couple of months. I absolutely loved the Daikon video you made, it's my favourite veggie now lol and I often have a nice almond meal mug cake as a wee treat. You're both very inspiring and I have improved my health and added new foods to my diet thanks to your videos. Please keep doing what you do 🙏🏼💞
You guys are the bomb! Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year! I’m low/careful carb and I really love incorporating your ideas. 🎄🎁❣️
Your discussion is spot on. For me, alternate daily fasting is what kickstarted a whole lifestyle / lifetime change. I'd enjoy hearing more about how you incorporate fasting--I know you've mentioned it in other videos.
An inspiration. Moderation and no "all or nothing" can be hard becuase that requires perfection or no perfction. Where consitancy matters more. Perfect message.
We’re going back hard on keto next week. I have motivation but I need more like this. I’ve probably gained back about 1/2 that I lost and I so t feel well.
Thank you, the light bulb came on. I’ve been on that merry go round too. I HEAR YOU.
not obsessing IS a stress reduction need. Stress will stall any weight loss goal. Stress and obsessing will release cortisol the stress hormone.... sad, but true. NOT Obsessing is your golden ticket. Good job ladies.😎😎
Thank you so much for making this video. It’s exactly what I needed to hear today. I love keto and can lose the weight, I always end up gaining it back! Not this time. I have a new found motivation!
Thank you both for your dedication to the lifestyle and all of the great content 💕✨️
Such a great video! Looking forward to more great content from the Keto Twins in 2024!
So I agree with all the comments here This is a lifestyle The key is to continue to learn and try new channels with new content and new recipes as long as they are simple There are a lot of great content creators out there and finding the ones that are interesting and humorous will help so much These ladies are amazing and very good at what they do Their advice is well thought out relatable and sensible They are one of my go-to's for all things keto/low carb ❤
I just love your videos. Sometimes I miss some of them. I just get busy with life.
I don't call mine a dirty keto diet. I call it a lifestyle. I have kept 40 pounds off for two and a half years. I don't feel denied either. I do fasting as well. I try to avoid sugar at all costs. When I've had too much I feel sick. I have hated the smell of donuts for the last three years. Haven't had one for about that long too. I don't crave them or sugar.
My motto is - Thinner tastes better.
This IS very helpful VERY ! I sent this to my son ....I have been on Keto/Intermittent fasting almost a year (march) and I have lost almost what I set my goal to (I am 66 yrs old with debilitating health issues5 ft tall very petite and was 175 now 120 but between covid and spinal surgery lost a significant amt of muscle thats what Im working on now toning and creating muscle I lost...one doc says for my age dont lose anymore maintain what you lost and excecize which I am....but I have become obsessed with writing down figuring out etc and end up not eating enough food or proteinI never miss your show and this one I needed to hear .....can you do one how you toned up during and beyond weightloss ? Keep it up girls you have great content !!! Julianna NC
Any Fav new year’s eve keto nibbles? I want to ring in the new year guilt free 🙏🏼
I'd never heard of the Roman Empire question, but funnily enough, it's come up twice today for me. Once because I noticed the DVD set 'ROME' on my shelf and thought, 'hey, I'd like to watch that again', and later because it came up in conversation with my daughter when we were talking about colonization and conquering cultures. So funny.
This video resonated with me so much and was exactly what I needed to hear as a long time on and off keto person. Can't believe I'm only just finding you both now. Subscribed 😊
I super enjoy your channel. I've been Keto clean and dirty. And yes, I've gained weight back. So, gonna get back to it. Happy New Year 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Happy new year Roxy!
Loved this video. Started keto/low carb and I never know what to eat everyday. Frustrating! Almost a month and I only lost 2lbs
Ive been on keto 5 years. I lost 30lb. I think...i am small framed and 5'3". So, i was too afraid to weigh myself at heaviest. I got down to 112, but relaxed...my husband gained a lot back and switched to noom. He is the family chef. It really doesn't work for me. So i just switched back to keto...and im excited to get back to my goal weight. I miss those clothes too.
These how to videos are very encouraging. I know you said your meat and vegies regime is not interesting to the majority but could you throw them in occasionally for the minority of us That would like to see the grind of it? Personally when i see my fav tubers do what im doing it feels like i have keto buddies. 😊
Love to watch your videos. Keep up the great work and let’s get you to 250k in 2024.
That's the great thing about a channel...we can go back and watch HOW you did it...but lovely to watch your playful banter with Monkmusic moments in your realtime maintenance. Thank you for recording your journey! 💃💃💜💜
Thank you! Can you show us what in a day that might equal 29 carbs per day?
Sarah and Emily, love your message. 🎉 everything you said is so true! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you
Great advice. So common sense. Thanks, ladies. Happy New Year!🎉
Thank you for this wise advice. We are all at different stages of our journey.
I enjoy watching you two. You've so entertaining and also informative. I've been on keto mostly faithfully for almost a year and have lost about 40 pounds. I've been cheating too much lately but it's interesting that when I do cheat, I'm almost always disappointed that the food isn't as good as I thought it would be. Except for hash browns. I'm never disappointed in hash browns. 😉 I'm glad the holidays are almost over. I'm looking forward to not cheating anymore. For a while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Love this content. I'm definitely checking out your early vids!
There are 3 kinds of people that watch your channel. Those of us wanting to learn more keto recipes AND waiting for a glimpse of the shakey puppies! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
i lost 100 pounds over a year then went off keto and gained back 50 pounds i learned my lesson lol i'm back on keto now and have lost almost 20 pounds again so now i guess i'm Technically Keto for life !
Thank you. I’m trying to restart and need your kind encouragement. All I want is to re-lose this 30pounds.
I do not belong to FB anymore so I will follow you here and on IG. (67 year old female).
Today is day 1 … again….
🤗 you can do it!
Good sensible down to earth ❤talk. Agree!
I find your discussions very encouraging and helpful, have often gone back to listen again, very honest. Please don't stop, Happy 2024
You guys help us all out here, so it's not just a hobbie it's a self help channel. 😊❤

Love watching you both! I've learned a lot from you too.
congratulations and happy new year ! looking forward to a new year of videos!
Sorry to say we have no sound when it is playing
I really appreciate your advice and your channel.
Excellent advice to anyone in need of guidance... thank you !
How do you ladies balance your low carb/keto lifestyle? Do you eat carbs in small portions? Do you exercise?
Y'all are beautiful, open, real, and amazing. Love you!!❤❤
do you eat 3 x's a day? or one? or?? Do you weigh daily? Have you gained recently?
I am not at goal yet but on occasion I eat ur way..special occasions..I have lost 70lbs but stuck now for 1 yr..I think I need to go back to basics
@loribrick519 I am in the same boat. I lost 40 lbs and am in my healthy weight range, but would love to lose 10 more lbs to just feel a little better. Even though I am still eating under 20 net carbs a day, the weight has stalled. Back to basics should help with this hopefully.
Good talk, keep doing what you're doing.
I want to eat healthy. That’s it. Low carb, low sugar. I am thin and don’t want to lose weight. My problem is trying to eat low carb and NOT lose weight.
Eat more fat :)
Exactly the same for me. thought I posted this when i saw this.
You described my issue. Hard to keep it off with being one extreme or the other.
Yes! Simple is key!
That is what I’ve been doing. Can’t have this or that. People try to get me to partake in desserts/etc. Then I know one bite this time two bites next time and three and so on so I’m better off just not eating it.
Would you consider doing a new what you eat and drink in a day? And, the cost? Steak and chicken is great, but also pricey. Also, what do you do when you’re craving something fattening?
Butter, eggs, steak and veggies 👍 But how often did you guys have a sweet treat? Like a small piece of chocolate 🍫.
thanks for your words of wisdom !~!! I love your motivational videos. There's always some new little tidbit for me to think about !!! Here's to my sucess in 2024 !!!
we love you guys!!!! thank you!!!
Great video girls ❤️
Excellent video, thank you for the advice, I totally agree, just keep it simple
