Before we started keto, I was looking for a way to get my diabetes under control. The meds were doing nothing but making
me sick. For a year , I researched keto and talked to dieticians and doctors who told me it would not work because once you have diabetes, you have it for life. Fast forward, the last time I saw the dietician, she looked at my results and her . jaw dropped. She was so amazed that she showed her colleague. Then our doctor had some tests done and she phoned me with good news that all my bloodwork was perfect. I now take nothing for diabetes and all the swelling has disappeared. She is more of a believer now. I hit a weight loss plateau this year but seem to be back to losing it. Thanks for being one of the people helping us learn and keep on going.
You said a long time ago in a video "nobody ever got fat eating carrots" in response to the keto police judging you for throwing in a couple carrots into a big pot of soup or something and that has stuck with me this entire time.
Thanks for the advice and straight forward approach to keto!
The first time I did low carb. I didn't know much about it. I just stayed under 20 net carbs a day. I used the strips and they never registered. I didn't do Intermittent Fasting. I lost 54 pounds in one year. Now I am doing Intermittent Fasting and find it helps my digestive system. You have to listen to your body. The Lord made us all different. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Strips never worked for me too but my body was burning fat. Gave up on the strips. It's a lifestyle that has really helped.
Fasting works for all. We were designed to do it so we could survive and thrive. Check out Dr Mindy Pelz, she promotes how to fast like a girl.
God bless you. Thank you for sharing this ❤
FYI: although you don't need to fast to get a lot of the benefits of keto, my energy levels got super-charged once I started doing OMAD with a few 3-4 day fasts thrown in. Keto got me down at 5' 11" from 240 to 215, though I got lazy. After ballooning up to 260 lbs. again, keto + fasting got me down to 185 lbs. and still going.
Same for me
I do have keto chocolate everyday. But never did bulletproof coffee, did change to black over the years lol. I also don't eat any fruits. I should cut back on some stuff but ugh so good and I do this for seizure control and so far (almost 5 yrs) no seizures!
That is so amazing! I’m so glad eating this way is helping. ❤️
No seizures = successful 👍👍😃
I love fatty coffee with egg yolks. Instant meal
Yay! You go girl! I know a lot of people that still don’t get the connection between food and seizures.
That is AMAZING! Good for YOU!! 🙌🙌🙌
Confession time. While I don't put butter on everything, in fact I put it on very few foods, I do love, absolutely love adding a few tabs of butter to my freshly grilled ribeye. Since I let the meat rest for about 5 minutes after removing it from the grill to let the juices settle and redistribute, here is where I add the butter, then cover the steak loosely with foil. The way the butter melts and blends with the natural steak juices....it produces an incredible au jus that is amazingly delicious.
I will cook steak with butter, garlic and mushrooms. That is amazing! I got the idea from a restaurant that did it that way for their "flatiron steak".
@@maidenminnesota1 Definitely loves me some shrooms with my steak!!!!
Omgosh I am drooling
@@doriannoonan584 Give it a try and I assure you, it will be exactly as I described.🙂
YUM
I love the last one! So many people who don’t have the discipline to watch what they eat, will criticize me for eating healthy/Keto/no sugar etc. the typical comment is I shouldn’t “deprive” myself of eating “junk” food. Needless to say, I don’t go out and eat dinner with people like I used to. 🙂
You nailed it about the keto snacks!!! My weight slowed down when I was eating keto snacks every day. I now eat keto snacks on Fridays ONLY as a reward. I have stayed on track losing weight ever since I did this.
This is my problem to overcome too...I have somewhat of a sweet tooth. I do ok to keep it at bay but fail on average once a week...
You are absolutely the most intelligent, logical voice of reason in the keto world. We are all better off with your leadership.
Exactly! It also helps that she is a Pharmacist. Love her common sense… and recipes!
I do IF with keto, but I do it because I feel better. I actually do it starting at 2pm and break the fast in the morning.
When I first started keto, I tried bulletproof coffee and decided I just couldn't do a cup of greasy coffee. I was used to drinking coffee black and that's what I continue to do. I have been in maintenance after a 40 pound weight loss for 4 years, doing IF and sticking to fresh foods and snacks I make myself. I stray on vacations and other special occasions. As you have pointed out, keto doesn't have to be complicated or calorie laden. Good points.
Love this video! Those of us who started keto back in the dark ages, know you don’t need any of those things because our journeys predate the processed “keto” stuff, exogenous ketones, shallow, blanket keto advice like never eat carrots or tomatoes or onions, bulletproof coffee, etc. I actually think it was easier then because you had to learn and understand the science and mechanics behind eating keto - knowing why makes effective choices so much simpler.
Right! I'm back to low carb. But just keep it at 70 and under and does just fine. I will eat zero carbs all day and if I want a ice cream or something I have it. And still lost 20lbs so far, so if I do slip up I don't get sick.
Ohh sorry forgot to say I do eat heavier on the meat side. So meat for breakfast and may not eat again til dinner. So easy. Have a wonderful weekend
Ketones seem to help me. I take them every now n again.
I didn’t use them back in ‘14 tho lol
There is no substitute for personal experience.
@@dellzywillis3001
Sounds like you found what works for you! I was low carb - 50 a day - for a long time, but it just wasn’t enough for me so I need to stay strictly below 20 for 99% of the time. And I really try to limit my carbs from sugar to less than 8. These are things that keep the migraines at bay and help me avoid needing a cane most of the time and keep the walker in the closet ALL the time.
@@Lucinda_Jackson ohhh I hate a migraine!! I'm glad you figured out what works for you. Sometimes it is so hard but we must do it to feel better. 🤗 Best wishes to you!
Love your videos which I just found this week. Started "keto" gradually 3 months ago and now full on this new lifestyle but cook at home all the time--- I've lost 13 lbs which was all I'd dreamed of losing before turning 70 in January🤬🤪. I feel fab and not hungry ! It's a miracle after 50 yrs of counting calories🙄
woooo you go karen!
Thank you so much! A lot of people need to hear this. I lost 118 pounds in 7 months (I had, and still have, a lot to lose) by only counting net carbs. I just listened to my body. I'd like to add that you don't need to buy everything that you see that is "Keto Friendly," like I did. After cutting carbs for a couple of weeks, you don't eat nearly as much as you think you will. Thank you again for the great video!♥️♥️♥️
118 pounds in 7 months--WOW!!!!!!!!!
damn kim! go on with your bad self!
Congratulations!
Whaaaaaat! Tips please still trying though.
@@onyekachi9662 I'm not sure what to tell you. I just try to stay about 25 NET carbs daily. I have done lots and lots of research to find substitutes for the foods I crave/craved. My tastes have really changed. I like chocolate Atkins shakes warmed in the microwave for hot chocolate...sometimes with sugar-free Reddi-Whip. 😁 I toast pecans in the seasoning used for Chex mix, and I rely on low carb bread. If I can have a sandwich, or a hamburger, like "normal" people it's a lot easier.
I'm a type 2 diabetic, and the keto diet is one that the dietician put me on, with the approval of my doctor. I don't check for ketone, but I check my blood sugar a couple of times a day. It's gone from sky high to low normal. My family is thrilled, but are still worried that I'm "setting myself up for a heart attack" if I follow this diet. Well, if that's the case, I'll go out happy. I feel better, even my mood is better. I feel more present, except when I have a migraine.
I want to thank you for all the information you provide to beginners, and for all the recipes. I especially like the one where you cut open Italian sausage and fill it with cheese sticks. Yum! And the great thing is that the non keto members of the family can enjoy it withbpasta, while I have my favourite roast cauliflower! Really, given a choice, I'd opt for the cauliflower because it tastes better. I think this is something I can live with for the rest of my life.
Wonderful advice! I have been eating this way for over 5 years. I just keep carbs around 20 grams. Regular foods, no sugar. There are no magical foods, research how ketosis works and listen to your body. It has improved my health and I lost some weight along the way.
Great info, I went from 340 to 250 and still losing. Thank you.
Are you strict about keto desserts or fats?
Thank you so much for sharing. You are exactly correct. I don’t do anything But eat meat and vegetables with very little carbs. Fasting has been wonderful for me because I don’t eat breakfast. I’m down 40 lbs just by following a few changes. It’s the easiest way of eating I’ve ever done. It’s becoming a lifestyle not a diet😊
That what I've said its a lifestyle not a diet. I choose to feel better when I eat better things for me. Garbage in garbage out isn't that what they say?
Appreciate how balanced you are in your perspective. Thanks for this video!
Great video. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype. You’ve encouraged me to go back to basics this week.
I enjoy your sense of humor thrown into your videos.
This was one of the best vlogs you've put out so far Thank you for being straight forward and honest and for lending some empathy to those that struggle with things including judgment I appreciate your knowledge and expertise
Great advice for everyone who is either starting out or a longtime practitioner of the Keto lifestyle.
Thanks.
So much wisdom, kindness and common sense in this video! What a breath of fresh air!Thank you ❤
This was so helpful, thanks for the sensible advice!
Thank you for such honesty. I really like to hear your interesting intelligent points to consider.
Thank you. This was packed with alot of information I needed to know about.
What a great video, I needed this reminder to just keep it simple ❤ thank you
I tracked my macros maybe the first month or two and then just went by a simple a rule for meals: One good protein and one vegetable that grows above ground. Worked good for me.
Excellent Video..One of the best I have seen!!You are bang on!!!
Great, great video! Thank you for posting!
Intermittent fasting put me in the ER with a migraine aura, I thought I was having a stroke. So no more IF. Eating low carb is what helps control my appetite and not all these frankenfoods that have flooded the market. Robert Atkins would rolling over in his grave if he saw what became of his low carb revolution, including his own company. Thank you for being so honest and not promoting every new gimmick that comes down the pike.
Yes I get so sick when when I IF, I currently stalled after losing 25 pounds while I need to lose another 30 pounds to get my goal.
I did aktins 7 years ago, I have to change up how I eat to lose this last 30 pounds since I can’t tolerate eating eggs or drinking coffee anymore lol
Nothing works for everyone.
Maybe your electrolyte balance was off causing headaches?
Migraine is the new thing they are pushing because the treatment is Botox. You didn’t have a migraine, it was your gallbladder from a high fat food
I have no trouble with one meal a day. I’ve never had a migraine, though. Clearly I’m lucky and very different.
Thank you! So informative ! You are the best. You have answered so many of my questions.
Thank you for telling us that. I don't tract my carbs as I am too lazy to do that. But I feel good and tend to eat the same things that I like. I have also lost 20 lbs although that was not my goal. It was to control my diabetes and High Blood pressure and it works. Thanks for telling us to be us not you.
That’s amazing progress! The best diet is always going to be the one that you are consistent with and that fits your lifestyle. 👍😄
*Thank you for sharing this informative and helpful video, guiding us on our keto journey with clarity and confidence!*
Excellent info!! Ty!
Great info! Thank you
You’re welcome ❤️
This was a very informative video. Thank you so much for that information on various things I can do. Amen
Thanks for the reminders. It’s what I needed to hear. Sometimes we just get bogged down with all the crap.
This is great vid...this was info I was needing...you nailed it for me...thanks
Wonderful 👍 Glad you found it helpful
Great advice! I was living in a country where I was pretty much restricted to whole foods when I started so I feel like I had it easier than people who are constantly bombarded with all the 'supposedly' keto products.
Can you say where so I can move there?!? Seriously.
Love your videos!!!!!! Thank you thank you! ❤❤❤
I've been on keto for a few month and down 20 lbs. For the past week, I've been sick with tummy issues and now strep. I've just been trying to eat whatever I can tolerate. I'm hoping to get back on keto tomorrow .... I have 30 more lbs to lose!
Thanks for this video. Really good info.
Thanks for this content!
Love all this info in the video .. it helps so much
Wonderful! I’m glad you liked the video 😀
so helpful. I am on my 3rd try at keto, and i think i have finally gotten into a routine that works for me. first try at keto, i got turned off of it because i was having mayo and eggwraps and my meals were gross, and broke my ketosis too many times. 2nd try, i naild keto cooking, so i was eating low carb but way over my calories and eating way too much fat. Now, 3rd try, i think i've found a balance that works :). Thanks for this vid!
Tried several times too. How are you doing it. Open to ideas too. Thanks.
@@onyekachi9662 honestly just seeing what works for you. Meal prepping has help. Usually when I don’t know what to eat I get bored then make a high calorie meal that sabotages me. I just do two meals a day one is something on keto bread, the second is a salad with protein. Sometimes a snack if I’m feeling it like a keto bar , almonds, olives, cheese string, or those quest chips. But the 2 standard meals has made the difference. And being mindful to keep fatty albeit low carb foods out (like heavy cream - I don’t touch it. Half and half is same carbs per tablespoon and only 20 cals per tablespoon) - good luck my darling you got this
@@onyekachi9662 I'm just finishing my second month of Keto myself. A few weeks ago I had stalled weight loss. Just last week I started tracking my macros using Carb Manager. I'm doing IF so only eating two meals a day. But the app has helped me realize what foods have the most carbs. I was supprised at how many carbs onions have for instance. So I got on track using the app and my weight loss started again. So I think tracking with an app helps. I'm sure there are any number of apps that are good for tracking.
If I had to count carbs I would be very frustrated! Maybe I could lose weight faster if I counted carbs. I have lost 29 pounds in 5 months. I am satisfied with my weight lose. Great video!
Very informative. Thank you ❤
Very helpful. Thank you.
You’re welcome ❤️
I needed this!
Solid list. Good stuff. 👍
Great advice TY
Please do more informational vids like this. You are so good at this and I honestly can’t get enough.
Thank you. This is helpful advice
Great video, with useful information 👍
Thanks you ❤️ I’m glad you liked the video 😀
I'm only 3 minutes in and this is the best keto information I have seen so far!
Thank you , this is good clear advice ❤
You’re welcome ❤️
Great advice, girl!
Your pumpkin bread is the best! Cannot tell the difference and usually I do not like almond and coconut flours 😂🎉🎉
Wonderful! Im glad you liked the recipe!! 🤗
@@KetoFocus I have yet to find a single recipe of your’s that we don’t like💁🏻♀️
I really would like to see more informational videos from you too.
With your education (Pharmacist, correct?) I feel your advise is most trusted.
Bulletproof coffee is amazing! Can work all day without getting hungry! Mental acuity!
Love it! Good stuff!
Great advice!
Awesome video. Thank you.
You’re welcome ❤️
I started Keto lifestyle June 29. A1C 6.8. I had my yearly physical and just got my Quest report and my A1C down to 5.6. So many groups push the Ketones and other products; confusing to someone new on Keto. I appreciate this video because it cleared my mind about various products. I did take your advice, and my doctor agreed, to drink electrolytes upon waking in the am but said not to overdue it. I tried several and the LMNT are my favorite. I just ordered the bundle. Thank you for your videos and recipes.
This was great! THANKS!!! \o/
Very smart reminders
Wonderful video!
You go, Annie!!💯
Oh God, how could anyone have more than one cup of bulletproof coffee?? It makes me so full. I have never been a breakfast person, so it's basically my breakfast. I don't use MCT oil in it anymore, but I do put collagen in it. And I just use full fat cream instead of butter. Maybe not the greatest for everyone, but I love my Kalona cream. 💕
Thanks for sharing 👍
I've been watching your videos off and on over the last couple of years and realized I had not yet subscribed so now you have one additional subscriber!
Loved this video. I've been low-carb off and on over the years but in May I decided I needed to start tracking what I was putting in my mouth. What an eye opener. After 2 months of staying 1200 calories and 20 net carbs or less per day, I was not losing any weight. Decided to switch to 20 TOTAL carbs or less per day (and still 1200 calories or less) and now am 25 pounds lighter. Only 10 pounds to reach my goal! I continue to track everything because I still don't trust myself. And especially when I reach my goal - I plan to be tracking for a long time. It helps that I'm OMAD and can see at a glance where I am macro-wise, and can choose to add stuff (or not eat something) to keep my macros in line.
Do you do any weight loss updates? You r a fabulous cook! Thank you!
Excellent content!❤️
Thank you ❤️
I miss ketosis--I just never get there any more, maybe I'm using the ketones instead of spilling them into my urine, although my breath doesn't smell like ketosis. I've lost 100 pounds in the last 3 years, still about 60 more to go.
Sounds like you're fat adapted, it means your body is now extremely efficient at using ketones so it no longer wastes them through urine, etc.
I don't count anything. I just stay super low on carbs. 2 meals a day. Normally an omelette with either salmon or bacon for lunch, and meat and broccoli/cauliflower for dinner. Can't stand mct oil. I do splash out occasionally and put a tablespoon of milk in my coffee. No fruit except blueberries and strawberries. Musashi recovery bars if I desperately need a snack. Down 30kg in 6 months.
Thank you for a timely and succinct video! So sick of some arrogant keto police!
Thank you for doing this. I lost weight before without doing any of this. This year I decided to try most of these methods and have been disappointed by the results. Going back to my tried and true method tomorrow.
Yes! Stick with what works for you. 😀
Great video 👍
I love your common sense approach to keto. I am realistic & know that I’ll never give up veggies or red wine, soooo…I knock myself out of ketosis at dinner, then I’m back in by noon the next day! Who cares? You gotta enjoy life, right?
Very useful video, it's true that even if something is keto doesn't mean you have to stuff your face with it. Keto foods are more calorie-dense, so they're easy to overdo. But I really believe in intermittent fasting on or out of keto - let alone the health benefits, but it also helps build self control. It also helps with shrinking of the stomach and after a while you get satiated with less.
I eat butter off the stick all the time - a nice pat is an awesome snack!
This is the best video ever…everyone was at that beginner phase and eventually you just know that all that stuff isn’t necessary. Unfortunately people follow influencers like they speak gospel. Just do what works for you…just because someone on UA-cam does intermittent fasting or BBBE doesn’t mean that you are doing it wrong.
100%! Too many channels are giving conflicting info and going off on tangents
Great video ….thanks
Great video! best thing I have found is if the package says Keto... pretty much dont eat it or very much in moderation. Stick to whole foods.
Great video 📹
Thanks ❤️❤️
Great video and very informative. Keto is a journey and a lifestyle - I agree all the Keto "crap" that is available out in the public read the ingredients!! They don't necessarily meet the keto criteria and honestly don't always have the best ingredients!
thank you
Thank you for this video!! It seems most of these extraneous products just separate you from your money, which could be better spent on a rib-eye or purchase of a cow share!! Very sound advice, I hope the people that would benefit from hearing it are listening!! Have a great keto day!! 😊
I don't fast simply because when I start eating I find that I have trouble stopping. Dr Vera Tarmin of Adapt Your Life discusses this and says that for people who are food addicts or have issues with food as opposed to carb addiction that fasting is NOT a good idea and also suggests that it might be helpful to do portion control and measure your food.
I enjoyed your video. I’m new to Keto and haven’t lost much weight but I feel better and not as hungry as I used to be. I’m hoping the weight will be next!😊
I am in the same boat, tomorrow makes 3 weeks, I lost 7 pounds but it keeps going up and down. I am trying to get the hang of it. Drinking enough water is my down fall and I think I overdue with my coffee concoction in the morning lol
This! Same here!
Ty lovey
Thanks!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I prefer to call it a lifetime way of eating rather than diet. Diet implies you can get to goal and then stop eating that way.
This is so helpful….Please do a “What you need on a jerk diet…especially for beginners…TY
I'm so glad you have made these videos. I sometimes don't put or add fat so I was wondering if I was doing it wrong. I barely eat carbs at all and I'm not hungry like I use to feel . Thanks, I'm finally figuring this all out.😊 I'm a type one so I always check for ketosis .I have to be careful
I'm type 1 also. Have you looked at Squeaky Clean Keto (web is I breath I'm hungry) it is a challenge (if you want) great recipes and a food plan (free) I have her book the recipes are awesome. I tried last summer to loose some w
eight and only lost 5 lbs in 5 months. So far I have lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Taking insulin is so hard to loose weight
I do Keto for overall improved health, not for weight management. As for chocolate, I make my own from pure 100% dark chocolate and cacao butter. There are numerous health benefits to dark chocolate. I eat a good amount daily and since I make it, I know what’s in it. Feel free to indulge in dark chocolate.
👍love this video
Thanks! Glad it was useful ❤️
Definitely stay away from all processed keto foods like cookies, bars, treats, etc. Just make your own. I know it take some time and effort but in the end you will save so much money since these products are so much more expensive than their regular counterparts. I guarantee your version will taste a lot better than the store bought version with cleaner ingredients.
Hi, I've watched sooo many of your videos and love each and every one of them. I don't know if you're going back to read your messages but I was wondering if you can make a video for people that are completely stalled😢. I'm so depressed because whether I fast or not I just can't lose a pound 😢than you in advance
Thanks a lot for this. Lokanto bothered my gut big time... erythrotol does not suit me at all. Your tips are on point👍
What's yr thoughts on Besti sweetner.i mae some cookies with its really sweet. It Allouse/monk fruit blend. I like it cause it dosent have a after taste and dosent upset my stomach
