dealing with weight issues for years, I found solace in the keto journey. Plateaus challenged me, and maintenance became key. The Aspect Health took precedence. The twins' approach resonates; it's about balance, not fear. 🌱💪
In my opinion, you ladies are the most genuine content creators in keto. Thanks for keeping it real. You’re my favorite! ❤
aw thank you janet! that means a lot to us!
You guys are really fantastic! Learning to be relaxed and not so anal about food is one of my biggest issues!
Excellent perspective, Girls. Totally agree with your approach. Lost 40lbs 6 yes ago, and I've been 110 lbs ever since (I'm quite short 😅). Love you and love your channel. Great job, much appreciated . Tks❤
Thank you for sharing. Your channel has helped me so much. Starting my 5th year this month. Only diet that has worked for me.😊
Thank you both for these 5 tips, I really found them helpful. I had never heard of the notion that each pound is move valuable as I get closer to my goal. I’m just two small pounds away from my goal of 135lbs. I’m 71 years old and fairly short, so this is my reasonable goal now. No longer do I think I need to be the weight I was at age 25. You two are responsible for much of my success. Thank you for all your videos and advice.
Thank you for this information. Some of it I had discerned for myself, but I was encouraged to have my ideas confirmed.
So far. I cannot be very relaxed, but am okay on ketovore. I love your channels.
I just love your channel!
Awww thank you!!
THAT is what scares me I have lost the weight and surpassed my goal now its keeping it off for my health. I do have food restrictions, and I have Lupus (and other ailments) Now I need to build muscle ( I do excercize) I watch you all the time these videos really help us Please do more(excercize etc) and thank you for all you girls do!!!! What kind of dogs are those soooooo cute!
I don't understand macros. That's why I do carnivore. I lost 55 lbs and I feel alot better and went from size 22 to 10 but I am so short they want me to weight 130. I think that might be too small. I love you watch you's. And I try your recipes . Thank you so much!
I really appreciate your positive outlook and advice. I am about halfway to goal and am plateauing. Your encouragement helps me stay focused!
Thanks again for helping me stay focused !!! Time to shed the Holiday eating season and get back to simple eating.
Love y'all and your channel! So much inspiration! THANKS!!!!
I get being super strict for health reasons and i will support anyone that needs to do so. I wanted to lose weight because I am short and 160 lbs didnt look good on me. I was strict with myself at first but have relaxed because losing the last 10 lbs would be great if it happens but not something to stress over. I feel sooo much better than I did and can chase after the grands without feeling like i need oxygen. I cheated quit a bit between Christmas and New Years, but only gained a couple of pounds that I've been able to lose already. Do the diet that works for you. If, along the way, you discover foods that don't agree with you, rid those from your life (and possibly family or friends who don't respect your food boundaries).
I know that this is off topic but I saw on one of your videos you talked about Thrive Market. Is it worth the membership? Is it cheaper than buying from a store?
We are members and really like it :)
Minute 1:29 of transcript : you eat weed?! 😂😂😂
😎👍🏻
Today is my 5 year anniversary of keto. Down 145 lbs and have maintained the same 8lbs for the whole time. Yes I add some different foods as long as it’s not processed crap. Just had my lipid panel done. Total was 155 with triglycerides at 32. Best I’ve felt in many many years. Also Today is five years sober.
“Eat real food and keto on!!
Congrats!
Congrats and God bless! 💜🙏🏼💜
Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!!🎊 🎉🥳 That's so amazing & inspiring!!💯💙
I lost 78 lbs, lowered my BMI considerably and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I've struggled with my weight for over 50 years. Keto/low carb has been the easiest for me to stick with.
It took me until I was in my sixties to finally get serious about my weight and health. Keto/ low carb and the UA-cam community have all helped me with my success. So far I’m down 90 pounds with 50 more to go.
Amazing how simple it is isnt it? Ive lost 23 lbs so far. I was STARVING myself before I found keto..thats how desperate I became to get the weight off. Thank God I found keto AND these girls are so funny .my kind of people.
I started Keto in 2018 and lost 150lbs within 2 years. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs, and good thing I did because I needed Open Heart Surgery to replace my aortic valve in 2022. I had no clogged arteries. Isn’t that amazing.
I lost 75 pounds in six months. It’s been three years; what a blast! No problem maintaining. I don’t calculate macros. Just focus on low carb. Life changing!
Did you workout?
Thank you both so much for your channel. I did Atkins 12 years ago and lost 60 pounds. I put on 140 pounds in the last 4 years due to illness. Started keto again and lost 25 pounds and then started to slip. You two have helped me get back on track. So bless you, from an Aussie grandmother 👵.
I started low carb in April, lost 29 pounds. Have stayed the same weight for four months and then started losing again. Keep it up people! At the end of April it will be a year. I feel so much better. You've got this.
When you look around, does it seem keto is more effective at getting large amounts of weight off and keeping it off? I don’t see any other diet that comes close! Especially for women over 50. So many comment on their age, 50+ weight losses and years of successful maintenance 🎉. Tremendous info and support is free right here. The foods needed are in all grocery stores. The Keto Twins are amazing and the only ones giving solid support for making keto a sustainable way of life. Bravo and a million thanks!
Hooray for relaxed! It's so nice to not have to think about food all day long. This video is GREAT advice. Well done!
I understand exactly! I am starting my 4th year eating Keto/Carnavore! I feel wonderful at 81 years old. Last year my Doctor told me to stop losing weight. That is the first time in my life that someone told me that! I live the relaxed way also. I feel the best eating this way so I will continue. I really enjoy you two ! Aloha from Hawaii and Mahalo!
You ladies are so spot on. I've been on dirty keto for two and a half years. I'm in maintenance mode too. I fluctuate 5 or 10 pounds here and there. Depending on if I've had a cheat meal or two. This hasn't been too difficult. My lifestyle for life. 😊
I have lost 35 pounds and kept it off for 5 years now. I choose to focus all the things I am able to eat on keto rather than foods I can’t. I haven’t had a potato in 5 years but who cares. I love peanut butter, bacon, cheese and slipping into my size 6 jeans.
Haha! I will too, if I can manage to get back there! ❤
Walking. 2500 steps min, then 3500, walking is great for mental health
Agree. Exercise is really great with keto. Don't need to be so obsessive about food when exercising. I know this isn't a fitness channel but I know it would help/inspire a lot of ppl if they talked about it or recommended some fitness channels
Cabbage video sent me back here. A month later, I know now that I've had lipedema for the last 40 years, stage 2. My life make so much more sense now. Journey just took a turn. 🤷♀️ It is what it is. You two doing your thing in my home town is so encouraging and keeps hope alive for me. I compliment you so much because like I said a month ago, you two DO ROCK! Keep bringing it! 200K before you know it!
I’m about 8 years in, and I fell off the wagon this summer and gained about 20 pounds before I went back to keto. So I’ve learned that too many non keto “cheat days “ can derail me after all this time, so I won’t do that again. I have pretty well lost it again now, it’s been a few months. My body just does better sticking to keto
Y’all must be tall cuz you look great at 170!! And you’re right, it more important how you feel!!
We are almost 6 feet tall lol 🙈
You ladies are super. I agree that you must get to know your body and "listen" to what it is telling you. I hit plateaus several times while using 50 pounds. I let my body decide where to end up on the scale (which, coincidentally, is close to what I weighed most of my young adult life). I practice IF, and if I feel like it, eat a sweet keto friendly treat several times a week. I am 5'4" and weigh 110 pounds and have maintained it for close to 5 years. All you said is great advice for anyone along their keto journey.
Thank you for your content and your sharing! I really appreciate everything you two talk about and do!!! I needed this encouragement I have been stalled for the last four months!
Simply put carbs make me hungry and tired. Thanks for your motivational help!
Thank you, Sarah and Emily! I have enjoyed and benefited from your channel for years now and appreciate you both so very much! It's such a treat to see you grown and achieve more and more. Warmest wishes for the next five years and beyond: on to a million this year, wohoo! ❤
I will add for other KT peeps that after three years on keto, I can verify that pretty much everything you discuss here is absolutely right on. Plateauing, for example. I lost seventy pounds in the first year. Then it was just a slow slog, or no weight loss, for a long time. I have 40 lbs to go and have plateaued here for months. In my head I know that I just have to keep on keeping on, that slow and steady wins the race, but I do so miss the fireworks of those early days of easily measurable and VISIBLE progress! It's harder to hold that course when I'm feeling stuck. And anyway, it's not a race, it's a life path that is forever, so enjoy the journey! There is no THERE to get to, other than a goal weight or health matter along the way. You're never done, indeed. Hold your course!
In spite of my feeling of 'stuckness', I also know that my overall health is improving "under the hood", with blood chemistry, kidney health, disgestive issues, skin clarity, and metabolic flexibility and more all improving and healing in ways I can't see on the surface but that I know are happening inside my body.
So, bottom line, keep on keepin' on, and keep coming back to Keto Twins for support and inspiration! You got this! 🥰💪❤
Love watching your videos. Lost 65 lbs with Keto and intermittent fasting. Have been able to keep it off with the relaxed Keto lifestyle. One of my favorite parts is no longer feeling controlled by craving food/carbs, hunger is controlled instead!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You are lucky to have each other and you both have my attention. It is a comfort to hear and see you, whether you try new things or just talk, all is useful. I'm sorry you haven't reached 200Thousand, you deserve it. 🤗
Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks ❤
2019 I lost 59 lbs on keto and kept it off till I foolishly continued a "cheat meal" for 12 months and gained 40 lbs back. Started back up a couple of months ago and am struggling to see the scale move this time. I am seeing nonscale victories so that and getting back into my favorite Keto twin videos for support and ideas is keeping me going. I'll never goof up again like i did, it wasnt worth it.
I don't do weight lose. I do clothes size. I have gone from size 22 to size16 thank you for your videos.
After my third go-round losing 50+ pounds, I find it is easier nowadays to maintain due to product availability alone. Now it is relatively easy to find Keto bread and sugar substitutes bread being my downfall . Everything you advise is on point. I usually go through 3 plateaus occurring after 25 pounds, then the next 15 and then the last 10. I usually get through with 16 hr fasting every 2 days, then the next plateaus with 10k steps a day. Last thing I learned was to not go below 1000 cal per day. If you do, you lose too much muscle and then losing fat becomes harder. So I would never recommend going that low in calorie count. Love your channel.
Great video, lots of good information. At 68, I have tried every single diet out there..seriously. I found your channel last year, and I knew if you two could do it, then I could too! However, I do better with plans and formulas. I did use app to track food, weight and exercises. The app gives you calorie suggestions for each weight you are at. It’s true, if we eat like we did when we weighed 200+, it’s hard to move the needle! As of Jan 01, I am Down -60, and hit the proverbial plateau! Want to lose the last 14 pounds, so I have added in light exercise!
Thank you Keto Twins! Happy New Year🎉
I have had many people comment on how healthy I look even though I’ve not lost the last 15. I am in it for the long term. I feel good and am feeling positive. I think it will be a long time since the first 5 pounds took 2 Months. I am trying for .5ish lb a month. I think it’s more the energy and general well being I get from a diet change. Or should I say, life style change because it feels sustainable. I am still doing the basics and haven’t branched out to trying the recipes. I see it in my future when I need to mix it up! Thanks for the R and D.
Cautionary tale: I didn't realize that when you lose weight you actually lose about 1/4 of it in bone and muscle. After going keto and intermittent fasting I went into the osteoporosis territory. Now, I stopped intermittent fasting as much but put back half the weight I lost, and even though I'm still keto it's still creeps back on. I just hope I'm building back muscle and bone!
Great info 😃
It's been a year (watching you Lovely Ladies, Hubbies and dogs) Thank you for all the videos 🎉. I have lost 60 pounds I carried for 3 decades, got off Blood pressure medicine, and feel GREAT. Your "Typically" Keto was the kicker for me 😂. I literally looked at what I was going to put in my mouth and "tweaked" it and it became FUN ❤💜😄. Happy New Year!
Great words of wisdom, Emily & Sarah! I am ready to get back on the keto krazy train :) Your vids really help-Thank you!
I'm right there with you. I had great success on Keto in 2020 but I let it slip away. I'm 50lbs. overweight and my blood pressure is through the roof. I'm ready to get on the train, too. I can't wait to feel better.
@brendaredmond4678 I'm the same with the high blood pressure and extra pounds. We got this, Brenda! :) @@brendaredmond4678
You gals rock. 💃💃I have accepted that after 5 surgeries in my lifetime combined with atrocious eating habits before keto, it's gonna take some time for things to heal in there...just gotta keep doing what I'm doing.
I am rebounding on a mini trampolone...just started, but I LOVE it! I feel different...confident that it will start to show soon...
Congratulations! 5 years is impressive.
Excellent video!
I started Keto in 2021 at the recommendation of my Rheumatologist. I didn't need to lose a lot of weight. What I was really hoping for was to reduce my joint pain. That is where living a Keto lifestyle has been a HUGE benefit for me. It cut my joint pain in half. It also improved my energy level. Now that I am 2.5 years into this, I also do a more relaxed Keto. I started out very strict trying to get a handle on what could I eat and not eat. That worked for me in the beginning. For me, doing that was not sustainable. However, I learned a lot during that time that still influences my choices today. I don't count Macros anymore, but now I go by how my body feels.
Love, joy and peace to you two this new year!! You are valued so much and are gift to all who know you.❤🤗🥰
Thank you so much for this video. I just want to feel better and you are right about listening to our own bodies.
Thanks gals! You motivate me so much. I have to start over again after a post chemo journey. I carved carbs and sugars so bad. Now I am cutting it all out to start over.
I've been doing keto for a year and one thing that I've noticed is better dental health. I used to get these nasty tonsil stones that would make my breath smell really bad. I guess that's due to impaction of carb-rich stuff getting stuck in my tonsils over time because when I went keto, the tonsil stones went away. I had quite a bit of carbs over the holidays and noticed that the tonsil stones started coming back a little, so I have since reigned myself back in! I used to get cavities pretty regularly, as well as tooth aches. Now, I don't have any new cavities and NO toothaches all year!
Are you still using the sauna blanket?
Yes! We love it, especially in the winter ❤️
Great advice girls!!! I'm a carnivore for the last few months and I do treat myself with Choc zero chocolate...it works for me..
Your philosophy is just the best! Thanks for being positive and technically keto. Thanks for being a test kitchen to help us with recipes. THANK YOU Sarah and Emily ❤
Omgoodness! You two are amazing. I restarted my Keto journey on Thursday. I did Keto in March of 2020 and lost 36 lbs. I looked and felt amazing. However, I went back to eating as I did before losing the weight and slowly but surely gained all 36 lbs back. I love your advice. I am super excited about this restart.
Hopefully y'all see this and perhaps mention it. Country Archer Jerky Co Originial Ancestral Blend Beef Stick are freaking wonderful. There is a spicy and a regular version and they have grass fed beef with liver and heart. Honestly the flavor is not far from their beef sticks.and no sugar ... HOWEVER the only place it seems I can get them is Sprouts Farmers Market (little Trader Joes like store in my area, not sure where else they exist), anyhow I am wondering if they are sort of test marketing because I don't even find them at the Country Archer website. If they are test marketing ... I want them to keep them. It would be awesome if y'all sort of advertised it a bit on your channel somehow so other folks can also buy them. I LOVE them and don't want them to go away.
Starting my keto journey and 1 month down. First time doing clean keto and feel so much better. Always hated dirty keto because I felt like crap. I'm working to heal my insulin resistance and reverse type 2 diabetes. I so appreciate your content and what you're saying.
Thank you for this video.
Carrots are much better than whacky sticks, metaphorically speaking of course ;0)
Thank you! I feel so encouraged after listening to your (this) video! 😊
This was great and very helpful❤❤
Thank You girls,I needed this pep talk.I`ve lost about 50 pounds but for about 2 months have plateaued .Which was hard to keep the weight off during Christmas.THanks again,love your trying new recipes too
have you checked out Dr. Ken Berry. i had major health problems till i watched this guy keep up with what you guys do i like your vids
Would love to see workout tips or recs for fitness channels on here. Much easier to lose weight on keto when you're active! Also takes the stress out of eating a restrictive diet. Can be a little more lenient with the carbs if you add some exercise. Great for plateaus too. And strength training will make the results unreal. Esp if you're losing so much you're dealing with loose skin
You can go crazy trying to "get it right" listening to people on youtube. There are so many opposing opinions. Try and observe what works for you is the best advice.
Such an inspirational message. Thank you. ❤
I relate girls!
Good job. That means it works.
agree i never did this for weight i did it for my blood sugar T1 diabetic i needed to get my BS under control and i keep it up to maintain my BS, i love the benefits and have reversed some of my problems from the diabetes
Can you do a review on that movie with the twin study and their foods? I think it might lean toward vegan but not sure. I haven’t watched it yet but it would be interesting to hear your views
Can you comment on time it take for food prep? I think this is the hardest part as work family etc.. take lots of time
I went keto a year and a half ago at 65. One thing I was not prepared for was how different my face looks. My metabolic health is tons better but it took me some time to adjust to my lower weight look.😮
Brilliant content, so so true!!!
Keto for 3 years. Lost 70 lbs and reverse T2D and stage 1 fatty liver disease. My biggest lesson learned is to prioritize protein. Get 1 g protein for 1 lb ideal body weight. I weigh 130 lbs so I eat 120-140 g protein a day. That’s something I had to build up to but it is reserving my muscle mass easy. You don’t want to lose 70 lbs and end up being fatter bc you lose a greater percent of muscle than fat. Keeping muscle keeps you healthier not just weight loss.
And I don’t eat less calories than I did when I was 200 lbs. I eat almost the same 1800-2000 calories a day bc I kept the muscle.
May I ask how you knew you had fatty liver disease?
@@mellocello187 My doctor told me that it was starting as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Diagnosis made from blood tests at my yearly physical.
@@sternits Thank you. I just googled and see that elevated liver enzymes are the indication. Mine were ok so that s a relief. I need to prioritize protein so thanks for your comment.
@@mellocello187 Yes. My enzymes came back into acceptable range and doctor said he’s no longer worried about my liver. All my blood work indicators have been perfect for 2.5 years except LDL. That’s always been high and I refuse to take statins bc of side effects. So I’m just not going to be perfect. Imagine that 😂
@@sternitsSame situation for me, including the reversal of T2D and fatty liver. LDL always high (triglycerides are the one to worry about and mine are great) but I've refused the statins too for years. Turns out there's a lot of keto & carnivore doctors (can't look them up right now but on YT) and research to suggest that high LDL isn't a problem and that those of us with higher LDL live longer, lol! My great grandma lived to just a few months short of 100. I no longer worry about LDL.
Hi preciouses! New subscriber here and I’m so glad I found d you.
Low carb/no carb high fat is the only thing my body listens to for weight loss and I got back on it 3 days ago.
I’ve had pinched nerve in my facet joint (back) for 3 yrs now and thank goodness I only need to go into the office once a eeek for 3 1/2 yrs.
I’ve got a closet FULL of size 10 & 12 cloth g for years and am bound and determined to get back into them. Especially since I’m now in a tight size 16. Yikes.
I’m also visually impaired (retinitis pigmentosa) and recently quit driving. 😕 can’t drive, can’t walk a block due to back pain = becoming FAT and dare I say sheltered and super depressed.
I’m a happy person so how can that be? Ah well, I’ll be even happier with this extra weight off.
Will be watching and liking your videos along my journey. 😘😘
I came across your cottage cheese chips with seasonings video and am always looking for things to snaz things up.
Again
Thanks for watching Jamie! You’ve got this!!💪❤️
I’m six weeks in, I’ve lost about eleven pounds and have not lost any in two to three weeks. I know I am probably losing inches, I can feel it in my pants so far. What I’m wondering is this…my app says at my weight I should be eating so,etching like 1,700 calories, carbs at 22. It’s rare that I get close to either of those numbers, carbs may hover at 10’ish a day, calories fluctuate from 1400-1600. I never seem to get my calories as high as they suggest? I’m mostly at two meals a day, maybe one or two snacks a day. Am I in track here? I eat until I’m full or more, but seems like an hour later I’m hungry. Sigh.
We are pretty relaxed, don’t really count calories and eat until we are full. The truth is there will be stretches for weeks or even months and then you will start losing weight again. Just keep going :)
Love you girls! Great attitude!!
🎉 thank you! 🎉
I’m starting my keto journey. I am worried because everyone says there will be all kinds of excess skin just hanging around. Do you guys experience that?
We were worried about that too, and yes we have a little bit! You just learn to live with it :)
❤ love your sensible advice
Cris Cooking Nashville has just posted carnivore refried beans.
Ohhhh that sounds fun!!!
So nice to hear your voice Sara keep it up❤️
I’m very frustrated that I did keto very diligently but lost 9 pounds in 4 months and nothing for another 5. I did this round another 9 months with the same pattern (after a year pause in which I gained it back). The sugar cravings I was fighting never went away, I had no energy and ended with SIBO symptoms the 2 times. Oh well. Not for me. But I’m happy to see it works for most people. I still watch your videos somehow still intrigued at how effective this way of eating makes you look fabulous! And the recipes are amazing!
Did you add in LOTS of fat?
Great video, I’ve subscribed to this mindset since starting Keto in later 2018 and y’all’s story is so much like mine🎉.😊 Blessing in 2024🎉
I love your channel. ❤❤❤

Thanks for the pep talk😊
Great advice!
Love this!
