I'm Bill, and I think you guys rock. I'm 58 years old, 6'4" tall,and have been doing some form of Keto for about a year. I started at 374 pounds , but as of today have lost 152 pounds. Cleared up my type 2 diabetes, lymphoma, and lowered my high blood pressure. Thank you for your videos. They've helped with my new lifestyle and realize I can eat what I refer to as normal now. I watch the issues you experience and see myself having a lot of the same issues. I look forward to reading your book. Please keep going. You inspire many of us trying to get healthy.

KETO would have been so much harder without our twins. 💕 You ladies.

I’ve been doing keto for three and a half years now, and I second that it is a lifestyle and not a diet. Every time I think “that’s it, I’m bored, I want (insert carby food here), I’m quitting” I think of steak and butter and bacon, being able to breath easier and having a flatter tummy. Because every time I eat carbs I get short of breath by the end of the day, and I get bloated. And then I think “I can never give up being keto, it’s a way of life now”.

Telling people never helps me. I really have to get alone with my own self. Competing against myself is what motivates me more than anything.

Spot on about people not wanting you to get thinner

I know I have watched this video before, but it is really helpful to be able to go back to this when I'm struggling. Thanks

I love these earlier videos. I don't even tell people that I'm doing keto anymore. I just tell them I'm eating a low-carb diet.

I have my weight i started at 197 on the fridge door wrote in big red numbers!!!! I know exactly what that # means. Age 66, been clean keto 3 months now at 182!!! But have lost several inches. Happy 😊

Two words from my Orthopedist in May of 2021: "You're doomed". Yes, that's what he said after he looked at the X-ray of my right hip. He started talking about gastric bypass and consulting with a weight clinic. I told him I'd see him in 3 months and that I'd work it myself. When I was a kid growing up in the 60s/70s I was a wrestler. At the time, I didn't realize it, but my mom had me on a keto regimen. She called it a boxer's diet. I knew if I applied the principals of keto (it's all about the biochemistry), I'd be back in the zone. So, now it's November 9. 2021 and I'm down 56.2 lbs. and not looking back. I've got another 70 to go, but it's been a nice gradual loss and I'm over the carbs. I feel so much better and all my metabolic numbers are incredible. It's never too late. Both of you are inspiring. Thanks for sharing your story!

Comparison is the thief of joy. That counts for just about anything in our lives!

Hi ladies, thanks so much for your great tips. I’m 71 and have been practicing a fairly strict keto diet for 5 months but have only lost 36 lbs. So I’m averaging around 7 lbs a month. I was getting frustrated because everywhere I look people loose twice that amount or more in the same amount of time. After listening to you I’m just going to stay the coarse. I’m sedentary due to a handicap so I think for me this must be a good weight loss rate. Again, thank you for your inspiration.

One thing Jess at keto rewind says is consistency over perfection and that is so powerful🦋🎈

Yesterday, I told the Lady who checks receipts at Walmart about KETO and she told me her doctor told her NOT to do KETO because it’s not good! I told her “Well of course he told you that bc he wants you to remain SICK so he can keep using you to make $$$$ off of you!!!” She just looked at me like she had an AWAKENING MOMENT!!! I gave her Dr Berg & you guys KZfaq channels to watch! My family thinks I am CRAZY for eating KETO foods but I’m on my 55th day and all my clothes are hanging on me now so they can see it’s working but they SAY NOTHING to compliment me but I DONT NEED THEIR SUPPORT! I am DETERMINED AND COMMITTED to eating healthy !!! Thanks Keto Twins!!! 💕😇💕

I agree with your comment about not announcing to the world that you were going keto. In my case, I was really surprised at the people who went out of their way to sabotage my success. Additionally, I was a bit surprised when these same people made no comment at all about the slimmer me. I’m 5’1” and went from 132 pounds to 117 lbs in about 8 weeks. I went from a size 10 to a size 4. Most of my adult life I weighed right at 100 pounds, so I’m pretty sure it was noticeable.

I can't get rid of the junk food in my house because my husband and stepson will not allow it. The best I can do is create positive messages and put them on my phone's home screen. I also have been wearing a special bracelet. It's specific purpose is to make me think twice about reaching for the bad stuff. If anyone has any other ideas 💡 please share. Thank you. Loving this channel.

"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail." I heard that on another site.

Just LOVE you 2!! I had lost 25 lbs then went off keto because I decided I couldn’t afford it (60 year old single woman). Now I’ve gained it all back, feel FAT & all the aches & pains are back making me feel more like 80 - y’all are inspiring me to get back ON ❤

I truly believe what youre saying. Most of my friends do not believe in Keto. But i proved them wrong. Im down 24 lbs since May. Just from eating clean Keto , discipline and exercise. I dont allow that kind of negativity in my life anymore. Its my body and i love what ive done with it. For a 44 year old woman, ive never felt better than now. Not just looking good but being healthy.

I really appreciate your channel. I’ve done keto before and lost 30lbs, and regained. I feel different this time. I’ve decided this is my lifestyle, I’ve cleaned out my kitchen and am using a keto cookbook. Generally I keep it clean and simple. I watch you daily for inspiration

I also learned NOT to say Keto to my Drs.! Saying I've given up sugars, carbs etc and they would be 'oh that's great', soon as I said 'keto', their attitude changed. I've switched drs. 3 times now, and found a Dr. whose husband is doing keto and she is super supportive of my keto lifestyle. Boo hiss to those Drs. who don't do the research that this lifestyle is awesome to heal so many ailments, etc.

Keeping projects/initiatives to myself has always been the best route for me. Sometimes if I share with other what's I'm going to do but I fall off the horse or I'm not successful I get anxiety to stay the course. Now I keep my head down and get after my goals and when I start to see some great progress in whatever it is or success, that's when I'm more open to sharing. Great point!

More than just the weight loss, carbs make some people, like myself extremely tired. My knee pain is also greatly decreased on low carb. Lots of reasons to try KETO is being tired of being tired.

My fiance, our Nephew, and I have been living the keto lifestyle since September 2020 and we have lost all together with a total of 173 lbs as of today. Although, what I am running into is that our Nephew has a red meat allergy and so it has been a challenge trying to find different recipes for just chicken and turkey. At first, it was easy because everything was new. We love this lifestyle and It has expanded my cooking ability. I really enjoy your channel and have gotten more ideas and I wanted to say thank you so much!

Huge difference being a fat burner as opposed to a sugar (carb) burner!

Thank you! The potato starch in grated cheese shocked me. ugh so many secret hidden ingredients.

You have the rest of your life to do this...it is definitely a lifestyle!

I am so lucky to be doing Keto with 2 co workers who have alot of knowledge and experience. I weigh in once a week and share my results with them loss or gain. We cheer each other on, share recipes, articles, and videos we find. I would not have lost 18 lbs so far without them. I love you channel and have tired many of your recipes. Keep up the great work ladies.

Been doing vegan keto and have noticed a difference. The high consumption of animal products in keto has always been a turn off for me, but now there’s lots of vegan channels. I’m loving it!

It's true...people feel threatened by change. Some are jealous and yes will sabotage you. ✋ The time does fly by when counted in Mondays... 😖Although I am pretty good at it, I hated cooking...I have cooked more in a year and a half...and ENJOYED it...than in my entire life on keto! The dread of the EFFECT of food prepared is now gone. That helps a lot! Yup...Monday I took pics and wrote my measurements on a post it note. 40 pounds down, here I come! I only buy block cheese now...for that very reason. It actually melts better as well! I make my own ice cream, and am learning to get over the creamy, smooth, lovely texture of commercial ice creams. Aldi's keto ice cream...always ended up eating half...😍🥰 but I digress... Awesome tips! Thanks for your encouragement! 💃💃

Thanks for being so honest. I also get a bit depressed at weight loss. I’ve only lost 11 lbs of my 20 lb goal in 4 months but I’m looking at this as a lifestyle change. Keep making me smile🤗

I never knew that shredded cheese had all those carbs added in. Yikes.

Hey Lovlies! Still playing catch up. My family (who I live with) are openly hostile about keto. In spite of my losing 40 lbs in 2.5 months they put me down and hassle me. I think they cant try new things and dont want to see somebody else do it. It's so draining and frustrating! As always I love everything you both post. I cannot will not do a cheat day. It ends up with me off the rails for months.

I’ve fallen off , those Halloween mini chocolate bars got to me and a couple birthdays . Thanks for motivating me to get right back to it . I know it works and need to view Keto as a lifestyle . Thank -you 💕

Thanks for this. I started keto in 2019 and lost 47 lbs in 3 months. It was the easiest thing I had ever done. Then we went on vacation, came back and went right into the holidays and then 2020 hit. Ugh!! Excuses but it has taken me all this time to get back on and it has now been almost the hardest thing I've done. But I am back and I am here for the long haul. Every journey is different but even with my huge detour I have never really given up because I know it works and I have never felt better than when I was on keto. I am just starting to regain some of the benefits like sleeping better. That is huge for me. I have before pics and will keep taking them as I lose. Thanks for your videos. So encouraging.

Thank you guy’s for being so open and honest🎈 I so respect honesty🦋🎈💞

I found you two a few weeks ago on my second (now lifestyle) keto journey. I appreciate your candor and genuineness! You two help me! I am on keto for more than weight loss, but weight is a major issue. 🌷 my hubby is also on keto now.

It's the old adage, fail to prepare = prepare to fail. So right and great advice

Great video! Very encouraging! Thanks for sharing!💕

Great video!!!!! Awesome tips!!!

It’s great you two add each other thru your journey

Y’all are WONDERFUL - so real and entertaining also! Thank you for doing this!

Great video! A video like this will never age. You two are rock stars!

I'm starting keto too. I'm so happy about your success!

This really helps me in hearing this video. Thank you

Thank you for making this video, it is helping me stay on track with my keto diet. 😊👍

You two make so much sense to me. Best I've ever heard! I can't wait to get going on my new lifestyle!

Thank you for your inspirational words!!

Great advice.

Such good advice! Thanks Twins!

My husband and I have been following a keto lifestyle over 3 years. I really appreciate your honesty and clear information. I’m enjoying watching your cooking videos too. Please keep posting!

Last month I went to the clinic to take a COVID test. When I got on the scale, the number was the biggest I had ever seen it. 242 lbs. I knew after seeing that number that I needed to hold myself more accountable for what I put into my body. Then I found you guys!! Love your videos!!! I made my first chaffle yesterday (your original recipe) and it was soooo good. Thanks again!!!

It's been good going back on your past vids, the suggestion to eat before going to family event....best counsel EVER! Why didn't I think of that sooner?! You two are da best!😁👍

Great video. Thanks for your honesty and transparency.

The first point is the best. Don't always tell people your plans, it makes you more successful and you don't own them any explanation if you don't succeed.

Great Video with good tips. Thanks Ladies!

Love your honesty and natural humor! Subscribed!

Thanks for all the great ideas. Tried your chaffles. They were great! Thank you for being so honest.

This was a very helpful video. Most keto videos on KZfaq are all about the food, carbs, etc. There’s a whole lot more to it because it is a lifestyle. Thank you. ❤️

Omg I also just assumed on carb counts too! I never thought of looking at shredded cheese r cream etc for carbs ! I’m learning so much from watching y’all! Thank you! Blessings!❤️

I’m glad keto is working for you both. I agree with you on doing what’s best for you. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

I enjoy your channel, especially the recipes. I recently was diagnosed as near pre diabetic, and was looking for ideas to reduce/eliminate carbs and sugar. Your channel has given me great ideas on what foods I can try. Thank you both for sharing your journey. Know that you have inspired and helped a lot of people.

Great advice!!! Yes.....NEVER give up!!! Sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness.xoxo

I love watching you guys!

Awesome information.

I just love y’all’s channel, thank you for ALL of your videos and advice. I am struggling staying on keto but not going to give up

This is a really good list. Most of the time I see videos about this and they are about eating some of the wrong stuff, but never about doing things that prep your mind to do it right. Thanks!

I’m getting so hopeful and happy that I will be more successful on keto because of you both. Looking forward to 2021

Thanks for sharing ladies. My keto journey has been similar and I finally just got back on keto about 6 weeks ago. I had an unexpected set back after working really hard to stay on the keto lifestyle while on a trip. I needed to hear this today. Thank you ❤

I LOVE you two so much! You make me smile! Especially your facial expressions! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!! You’ve been a major inspiration to me!! ❤️

Yes yes I made this same mistake is to telling family and friends. I love your channel

Steer clear of the ice cream mentioned... the first night I started keto I was reading the carton and it says Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients and wasn't thrilled with the definition. Look around for a cheesecake fluff... it rocks! Love yalls videos!

Thank you! So true!

Great advice ladies ❤️

Dang girls! U really encouraged me to up my cooking game. I DO NOT cook well at all, but ur totally right!! Now is the time to learn! I really appreciate this video!💞 u guys are awesome!

You guys are great and the videos are a lot of fun. I've only just found your channel and it's really refreshing to see some honesty about the process. 3yrs ago I started Keto and lost 28kgs (61lbs). But then fell right off that wagon and put it all back on over the last year. So today I started it all again lol. It's good to hear how other people have dealt with the same mistakes.

Great content! Thanks for the info! Sarah, I love your blouse! Where did you get it?

This wonderful video has helped me understand how I messed up. I am on clean keto. I don't use oil in my cooking and I hardly eat meat. Avocado's and coconut milk are my two fats. I have lost 35pounds in two weeks. I am sure that was water Wright and other things, but I feel amazing. Thank you for your helpful videos.

I love your doses of reality!!

Making the mistakes are fine but if made every day then you’re killing your gains. So choose 1/2 day a week to indulge just so that you don’t go overboard. Can’t do too much damage in 1/2 day appose to a whole day of indulgence! The struggle is real and we’re all in it together. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I just found your channel yesterday and could not subscribe fast enough. I am 15 lbs away from being at my highest weight after losing 85 lbs on keto and I just can't get my act together. It's encouraging to hear that others have had the same struggles and came back fighting. I'm looking forward to new videos and binge watching older ones. I'm so glad I found your channel!

I've lost 55 lbs but it took me over a year but I just kept on keeping on. I'm not perfect at watching everything and pasta, bread and potatoes are my downfall, lol. I did find out about how chemically pasta, bread and potatoes can change though through cooking then chilling then reheating. I think that has helped alot!!!! They say it really makes a difference in those products and insulin resistance. Anyways, you are right it's NOT a DIET, it's a LIFESTYLE and yes there's TONS of great tasting food you CAN eat if you learn to make it. I'm a bit lazy on that since I have no kids or husband at home to cook for but I still will cook up hamburgers and chicken in bulk and put them in the freezer. Make soup and freeze it, etc. I keep pork rinds in bulk to grab to snack on and keto crackers. I try to focus on OMAD though too, with minimal snacking but don't Make Yourself CRAZY doing it!!!! I never even weighed myself (no scale) in the beginning and just by being able to fit into smaller clothes as time went on I knew I was losing weight. Just found out this past week how much I've really lost, yay!!!! Just keep on keeping on!!! It took awhile to get all that weight, it takes awhile to lose it. If you're healthier and feel better, that's the important part. The weight WILL come off!!! Do watch what is in food though. You'd be amazed at what you thought was low carb really is not. I guess I'm kind of dirty keto maybe as I try to stay under 50 carbs per day instead of 20. Whatever, it's working and I feel so much better. Getting off of sugar, I think, is a big help. Stevia and all those natural sweeteners (not diet sweeteners) are a God Sent and they taste sweeter too! I don't miss alot of the stuff like brownies and donuts once I just got rid of them from my cupboard and again the natural sweeteners helped alot on that. Just take it easy on yourself if you mess up and then just get right back to doing the keto right away. No one is perfect so cut yourself some slack. Thanks TWINS for all you do to help all of us Keto Krazies out!! You're Awesome! and Awesome recipes too!

One thing I've noticed is condiments are my carb Bermuda triangle I switched to sugarless spice mixes. I've found a sriracha seasoning that I like even better than my beloved rooster sauce which is yikes full of sugar. I'm learning to adapt what I eat from month to month. This month I tried carnivore and it was an epic fail. Because you can only season with some really expensive salt. I couldn't hang plus I felt horrible . Live and learn

Thanks!

Sara, I love your red shirt!!! I just had to say it! I also love watching you guys and all of your keto recipes!

Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes.. That's my latest psychological hurdle. One thing someone advised that I'm able to do right now, is do it in stages.

So true, all of it! Christmas got me off, then depression hit and I gained 50 lbs. I was shocked when I stepped on the scales at the Dr's office (I hate those scales!). So this is it, back on now. I feel sooo much better on keto!

4:59 I really like how you said “I ordered this in a restaurant and can make/eat it at home” bc I don’t mind making food at home but I’m still in a early stage of trying out keto where I think “if I go out what can I eat when I’m out” so that I don’t break my habits

Most people don't know I'm on keto and won't know. I know how judgemental they can be, so I can live without that.

Just made them for the first time I am hooked

Thank you for sharing of all these mistakes. I'm stalling my weight on this diet right now, but I'll definitely keep pushing harder.

I needed to hear this today, thank you. Those sneaky carbs, it took me awhile to realize sugarfree gum and even my chewable Vit C had 2 carbs each!

You gals are the best!

Thanks for your wisdom and for making me laugh😃. The two of you are adorable. I’m a twin as well.

I've had to alter my diet drastically a few times. First time was severe food allergies. There's a 4 year regimen to get past food allergies, and that's what I did. It doesn't work for everyone, but it did for me. I was allergic to all kinds of things. Wheat, cow's milk, chicken eggs, soy, peanuts, oats, were the main things, but there was a lot more. I was ok with rice and corn, but basically, I had to learn to cook all over again. Next was diabetes. Self explanatory. Another major change. Then Alphagal, I couldn't have any mammalian meats. I was ok with dairy. Cheese was tricky, it was only ok if it was made with vegetable rennet. I was already easing into keto, but that restriction made it harder. After a few years, I finally tried acupuncture. That worked, I can eat red meat again. After all of that, just following keto, and I'm similar to you gals, I call it keto-ish. I'm more concerned with net carbs than whether it has wheat gluten or whatever. I have my own list of things I don't want to eat, but mostly I'm "dirty lazy keto." I've had some set backs, but overall I've gone from 335 lbs to 265 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but I'm confident that I can do it. Keto is really the only thing that has worked for me. You two are amazing, and a great inspiration. Keep it up, love ya!

Hey! I watched this thinking I wasn’t gonna hear anything new, but I was wrong. I love creamed spinach, and broccoli/cauliflower with cheese sauce. I work in the cheese department in a grocery store and they make a lot of different cheese shreds. I never realized they have more carbs than if I shred it myself, even though I know they put “anticaking” stuff onto keep it from sticking together. I’ve been on a platoe for a couple months (why I watched this video, I’m a subscriber) and since my birthday I’ve gained 5lbs! I ate at Mexican restaurants twice for birthday and thought it was salt but it didn’t vanish and it’s been a week. So I’m gonna start not being lazy and buy brick cheese from now on! Thanks

I totally agree with your idea of not telling anyone. People will either try to sabotage you because they are jealous, or they will watch what you eat in hope of criticizing you - also because they are jealous. I have lost 42 pounds so far but I still have a l-o-n-g way to go. No one except my doctor and one friend know. No one will find out until the end of spring / beginning of summer when (we all hope) we can start going out again and I won't be wearing a bulky jacket. And when people ask how I (or you) lost the weight, the only answer to give is "diet and exercise" with no more details. I don't want to hear a lot of uninformed opinions keto and intermittent fasting.

thank you well said on the cheese.....

The part about 👏PERSONAL👏 accountability👏

Great video!!! When is next one please need more
