I’m really enjoying this transition series. It’s real and relatable. Ty for sharing.

I have to say...that this is exactly what I needed! This morning, I said enough excuses....After losing 87 pounds on Keto in 2016-2017, and getting to my ideal weight, I kept if off for a year....and then gained over half of it back in the last 2 years, because my relationship with food was/is still broken. This morning, I told God/Universe that I'd do whatever it takes to get this right for the rest of my life and fix this for good...and next thing I know....I found your videos. Thank you for sharing, and I'm in! I'm doing this. I might be in the corner in a few days crying and shaking like a heroin attic in withdrawal...but I'm doing this! No more excuses!

Hello Brother, I have been listening to several of your videos and dabbling with Keto but making no progress. This evening I even followed one of your chaffle videos and made my first chaffle! I've been home on oxygen for two months because I nearly died with blood clotts in both lungs. I've struggled with obesity most of my life and currently weigh 450#. I started to loose hope and have been praying and asking God for help. While eating chaffles I saw your 6 part series on your change and here I am. I believe that you and your story are in answer to my calling out for help. Thanks to you for sharing your life and experiences. May The Lord bless you on your journey, and may you continue to bless the lives of others. Love you Brother.

I'm full blown Keto for over a year. I've lost over 120lbs. I'm very happy you did this series of transition videos. Great testimony. It's fun to talk about how you lose all the weight afterwards. It's such an accomplishment. I feel so great now but my body is beyond repair. THE SKIN.😬😬😬 However, my skeleton is happy so whatever...😏🙄 Excellent job and thanks again.

"I felt like my country had been liberated" --- I'm still laughing my face off over that one !!!

I can't get over how much younger you look! I am 52 and feel my face is definitely showing my age. I lost 37 lbs in 2018 on keto and sort of just maintained ever since. You have given me inspiration and determination to get "Serious" again and make this kind of transformation happen for me too! You should be very proud :-)

I found Dr Berry and Neisha and was absolutely blown away by the frankness they both had about current medical practise and beliefs the medical fraternity had about nutrition in general which was basically anti Keto and they were/are on a mission to right these wrongs and I agree with them! Then of course my journey finds you 👍 your mate Aussie Alfie

You have a lovely voice. I would definitely listen to an audiobook read by you lol 😆

I have to say, I have watched a ton of transformation videos, always videos of peoples dramatic weight loss, lots of exercise, and inspirational music and such. I happened across your first video, and almost stopped watching it 2 minutes in because it wasn't that. I am so glad I stuck it out. This is what I've needed to hear. I've just started down the keto path. Weight wise, im right where you started at. Thank you for these videos, thank you for your story. You are truly an inspiration.

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your story Steve! You are helping more people than you know!

Just stumbled across your videos. You are a great presenter and congratulations on your success. The first time I ever heard about keto was through Keto Connect. I only had a few lbs to lose, but am now looking at it as a lifestyle. I cannot believe how many “keto” videos have popped up since last I checked. Anyway you have a soothing voice and I will go back and forth between yours and Keto Connect to become reacquainted. I like your cooking segments. I like to cook, and I think you are a good cook & easy to follow. I wish you would continue cooking keto recipes; your voice is grand.

“Is this appetite or hunger?” Sometimes all you need is a concept that makes sense to you, for the last two days every time I feel like snacking I ask myself this and stop. I think this was in the previous video though, not sure. Thank you!

Great series Steve! Thanks for your honesty!

Thanks for sharing your story, Steve. Merry Christmas.

I am loving this series of videos. Thank you so much!

Thanks you for sharing your story! I’m following it diligently.

My favorite video series you've put out!! Love your cooking, but really relating to this!!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Steve! Merry Christmas!

I get so excited when I tune in on my Utube subscription and see another one of your series. Keep'em coming and thank you again for being honest and valnerable.

Fantastic insight into your journey. Thank you for giving of yourself in such a personal way.

Thanks Steve. I really enjoy this series. Very inspirational.

Another great video, Steve! Thanks!

Really enjoying this series about your journey! Looking forward to the rest of them. Happy holidays and thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and specifically, thank you for being so down to earth. Hope you and yours have a very pleasant Holiday.

This is very good stuff. Thank you for taking the time to share!

Loved this "Transition" series. It was very interesting and informative. It was brave of you to share. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your sincerity. Merry Xmas from NZ.

Yay! So excited to see this 😊

I am really enjoying your transition "testimony" in this series. Looking forward to the next one

Love KetoConnect! Great series, Steve. Thanks for sharing your story.

Steve, you are an excellent speaker! I love watching all of your videos. Very helpful. Thank you.

Wow- you r an inspiration! I was watching your channel for the keto recipes and then I came across your story. Thank you for sharing, and helping so many people. It is a blessing to be able to pay it forward as you r doing.

Im so enjoying this series. Your such a good speaker. I enjoy Matt and Mega also. Can't wait for the next episode.

I’m going to wait for your book Lol! You are awesome at telling your story!😄

Another great video! Thank you so much for sharing, Steve! I also love Keto Connect. Beside you channel, they are my other favorite channel. Looking forward to the next video! In the meantime, wishing you and your family a very blessed and peaceful Christmas! :)

Thanks for sharing your story Steve! I've said it before - you are the most genuine guy and I absolutely love the way you share your story and take real recipes and make them Keto. Funny how it all really started to blow up with your chaffle videos! 😁😁👍 You have a special niche and I really appreciate who you are and what you are doing here. You are an encouragement to so many of us and I really need the inspiration because it is so easy to fall into a rut with the food and the diet itself. Love your creativity and I always look forward to your videos!! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. It's definitely inspiring for me as a 44yo Dad who has been stuck in a rut for a while now.

Very interesting Steve. I love listening to you, you are such a great speaker (great voice, engaging, interesting....I don't get bored listening to you). Truly a gift, thank you. Although this diet is not for most people I am happy that you were able to learn some pretty amazing information. Thank you for showing pictures from before and after. By the way, your body looked great despite the fact that you didn't exercise.You have great stamina to have been able to endure the potato famine. I love potatoes only if they have some kind of seasoning or butter on them....but alone....yuck, no taste. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to the next video. Keto on my friend.

Yes keeping them coming (series) All of theses journeys are important to go through before settling into what our body’s need. This is a book in its self. Thank you 🦋

Wow! I give you a lot of kudos for staying on that Presto diet. Boredom is what always derails me and I wouldn’t make it past the 2nd day. Thanks again for sharing. I’m very interested in more.

Great video. Merry Christmas! Stopping by to show love and support 🎄

I Love that you made the series into it's own play list :D

Great series. Wonderful storyteller and great voice. I hope you are transcribing your series because your book is written word for word . Thanks for sharing.

sir YOU made me laugh out loud. You are just too funny and very honest. thank you for that!

Steve. Thanks again for sharing the journey my brother. Hope you and yours have a great Christmas.

Steve, you had me cracking up as you described your various bodily reactions to the diet. That is something most people don't want to talk about but people need to know that dietary changes will indeed result in a change in those bodily functions...and that's usually a good thing.

You looked, justifiable so, very unhappy at the second week photo for the potato famine! This has been a wonderful series, so inspirational! Thank you!!!

Than you for sharing, I am enjoying these series of events. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I just found your videos because of the Aldi bread. I'm glad I'm able to go back and see your transformation. Thank you very much for sharing!

Love your videos Steve...very informative.

Love you videos. Love your voice. You used to train a few office workers at a time. Now you train thousands at a time. Praying it will be millions soon for you ! Merry Christmas to you and your family ! May God bless you and your family in this holiday season and in the coming year !🎄

Hi Steve! I am a recent subscriber - late 2022. I consume a great deal of KZfaq content and often watch / listen while doing other things. This transformation series has had me riveted to the screen. Thank you for your absolute honesty and sharing of all of the details involved in your journey. 👍❤️ I really enjoy your channel!! I have a lot of binging to do! Thanks for all you do and I can see that your community loves you! ❤️❤️

Great video and pretty funny about the vitamins in the toilet 😂

I am currently binge watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

I went gluten free 2 months prior to starting keto, best thing I ever did. Lactose & lectin intolerance practically start to vanish after a couple weeks on keto. Intestinal gas stopped, carbs were the problem. Blood pressure dropped 40 points. Now, most significant improvement, need to empty bladder in the middle of the night, a least twice if not more, NO more. 3 weeks keto & taking vitamine D3 & K2 decalcification of soft tissues was happening. Get one morning, & had to look at my watch 2 or 3 times, while emptying bladder, yep, one very long time, it's like being 16 again. I'm 48 years of age, this is still improving. Now eyesight... might need less prescription, something is changing. Potatoes? Those were a month ago, I stopped them totally, & I don't miss them. Rice & pasta, went with them. I will never depend on those 3 again. Like 💖 this presentation, gut biome, yes, important factor. Gut healing? Bone broth, collagen, a must! Thankyou for grassroots honesty.🗽👍

Thanks for the video! On to part 5

You have helped me a lot!

Just discovered u on KZfaq. Thank you for your honesty and inspiring presentation. Have lost 20 lbs on keto and IF and love it. Appreciate your research and recipes and will start experimenting based on your recipes. Thank you for your dedication.

I'm really happy I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. Everything you are saying speaks deeply to me. I lost 98lbs over a year on keto, but have gained it back after 2 years. I've been thinking about doing the potato thing to kick start be back into keto. It's great to hear someone else doing this.

Fantastic video Steve. You have a gift that you should exploit further. You're approach is so informative and so easy to listen to.

Its good to see and hear someone that found away to take care of themselves but isn't pushing a specific diet. Just subscribed 👍

Thanks for the rec about Presto Steve! I have been looking for a 'sign' to change as well and think your vids have really kicked me into gear. I am going to try the potato challenge for 3 days to start tomorrow!

Awesome video. Once again you had me laughing over the poop part, your expressions are hilarious!!

Thanks. Enjoying your vids.

Great video series! I have learned a lot over the last 5 months. Keto helped me lose 47 lbs and gave me my metabolic health improvements! I feel great again! Thanks for your testimony!

Still a cool dude... Merry Christmas!

Loved this!

This is a great series

Great show Steve

Excellent video Mr. Steve. Thanks for sharing the secret to your success. We just ordered Penn's book and it can't be any worse than 6 wks of HGC. I guess I will find out if I like potatoes that much. Merry Christmas!

Great episode! I just went keto lost weight got healthy, got off acid blockers that were killing me and will do keto the rest of my life.

Ok, I had to stop the video because I’m dying laughing at your description of “I saw entire vitamin pills” . It’s not funny but Lord! Love your channel, just did my first order of Ketochow because of your review (all your reviews are really helpful). Back to the video….

👍😍You look amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🤗💞🤗

Amazing! Thank you.

It takes me about 4 days on a potato hack (basically what you did) to get into ketosis. You can feel the extra energy that comes. I tested in on my keto mojo and sure enough - ketosis. Once you use up the calories from the potatoes your body relies on fat, since it's not really possible to eat enough potatoes to keep up with your daily nutrition requirements.

A great watch as always Steve! Dang 20 lbs in 2 weeks? I wouldn’t need to diet anymore would go straight to maintenance 🤣 merry Christmas to you and your family

You are SO REAL Steve! Many things came out of this for me BUT I REALLY thought about the potato phase. The only real thing I have missed by being KETO is French Fries. I realized as I thought about what you said ~~ it isn't really the potatoes as much as the deep fried vegetable stick! LOL I will truly not think of them the same in the future. I know we can fry radishes, turnips, jicama, etc. so I will concentrate on the fried portion. You are so analytical in your approach it is so refreshing. LOVE this series. Happy New Year Steve. BEST of health to you in 2020.

Thanks so much for sharing Steve. When I first started in May I had already lost around 40 of the 70+ lbs lbs I had gained with my son (he’s 20 months). When I first started I watched the big gurus.... Dr Berg, T.D., Keto Connect etc. Since then I’ve lost the other 30+another 10 am in maintenance mode around 125-127; maybe another 5 or 10 to go but this is a lifestyle - I don’t mind if it takes a while! I still weight myself every day and though I don’t use a spreadsheet I use the weight guru app with my scale which is interesting to track progress and see what affects you. Point being - since I’ve gone into maintenance I’ve dialed back the YT videos and I’m so glad I’ve come across you. Any time I see you’ve uploads I watch it right away if I can. It’s great to see someone like you who does this as more of a passion project; someone who is a real person living his life and documenting what has worked for you. I also love the cooking inspiration - I love to cook and have a ridiculous amount of cooing gadgetry (if you ever feel like breaking out your sous vide (I think you mentioned having one before?) I’ll be right there with you! I love my joule :-) Thank you so much for this series - I would have loved to see your journey when I first started out; and I’m really happy to see how much better you feel both physically and spiritually. Merry Christmas to yourself and your family Steve! Keto on 🎄

This is awesome! Thank you so very much for sharing your experience. You have inspired me to try this. I started keto in 2018 and lost 60 pounds. During Covid I fell off the wagon. I have to get back on track. I'm so happy I found your channel. Like you, I thought I liked potatoes. I don't love them plain. I'm on day 3 of potatoes. I'm not having fun, just like you said, but I'm going to fight through it. I have never looked forward to eating salad, but I am now! Lol! Thanks again!

Awesome video!

I just really respect your journey and I respect you. I have been on Keto now for a few weeks now and am doing well. You are so so inspiring! And you look gorgeous!

Thank you for parts one to three, a very interesting and compelling experience. I've lost almost 95lbs, slowly and seemingly thus far no disturbing side affects so I consider myself very lucky. You're so lucky you discovered a methodology that was readily adapted and works, I am genuinely glad good fortune and healthful benefits continue to flow. Thank you for sharing your life-changing journey, major transitions be they psychological, physical and lifestyle are a moment by moment undertaking - at least for me, not that easy but with sufficient motivation very achievable and readily maintained. Totally, one's point of view regarding food - it's consumption and underlying thinking certainly requires honest review, analysis and remedial action. Re-framing one's attitudinal frame of reference isn't an overnight thing, there's no quick fix. It's like a 360-degree turnaround to food, physicality and I'd venture to suggest even spirituality - and - water. For me, my journey's been not only about rethinking food, exercise but also my water consumption. I'm grateful I've an opportunity to turnaround my health and well being, grateful too for the opportunity this platform affords in providing stories like yours that reinforce positive healing, in no small way a myriad support for personal resolve in ameliorating obesity and it's significant impacts.

I KNOW that I can learn something from everyone out there; however, as soon as they say something that I don't like (usually political or religious)... I'm done listening. That is a HUGE problem for me that I've been trying to work on... learning humility can be a tough pill to swallow. Funny thing is although I do Keto, I was intently listening for some new weight lose miracle (old habits die hard 😂) and you lost me at potatoes... of course being a T2 diabetic, two weeks of potatoes would put me in the hospital. This is an awesome series. Thank you so much for sharing... it's very inspiring.

You're the kind of guy people want to sit down with and just talk. However, we all have to just settle for watching you on KZfaq. LOL!

I have been enjoying Penn's book since you mentioned it in a previous video. While I'm eating not fuhr-burger now, I'll do a potato famine starting on the first.

I’m laughing out loud as I always say ,” I love potatoes” and just can’t believe I’m living without them. Never until I heard this did I realize I don’t really love potatoes I love what we do with them! - snort! imagine that!!!! Loved this revelation!!!!!

Steve, I don't normally comment on YT vids but wanted to say thanks for sharing. I jumped into Keto after attempting Atkins for the last 10+ years. I was also inspired by Keto Connect and all the other helpful YT content out there. It makes it so much easier to learn and grow while you are changing your eating habits and getting healthy. My wife has known me to be inconsistent with my diets over the years until now sticking with Keto. I have lost 45 lbs since Oct and still on my way to achieve my weight loss goal of 75 lbs. A little stumble during Christmas, but back on track.... Thanks again for the content and sharing your story.

Let me be completely transparent. The first video I watched, months ago, I thought you were as dry as a saltine cracker. Shame on me! You are my all time favorite guy! I share you with all my friends for motivation. Thank you for being so real, so passionate, and so informative! ❤❤❤

Steve, this channel of yours is really working out well. I usually come for the recipes but now I'm listening for the inspiration. Keto Connect is a great channel, but to tell you the truth, since finding your's, I don't watch KC as much. I think it may be because I have more in common with you than Matt and Megan. KC is inspirational but in a different way. Keep up the good work. Hope you get a lot more subs. I will and keep telling others of you.

It is all a big crap shoot for us. Some things work for some and not for others. Seems that you have a good system for you, and go for it! Thanks for the inspirations and all the great food. So looking forward to more!

I came across this channel while learning about keto for my girlfriend’s sake (she’s Type 2 diabetic). I’ve been watching bunches of the vids and this one had me laughing. I don’t eat keto, and was a vegan for thirty years. Eating plain potatoes is fine by me. 🙂 I live very differently from most folks, off-grid in northern Maine. Been living outside since last May, and cooking over a fire if I cook. Everything takes a long time. When I eat, I eat a lot, just to stay warm. A pound or two of potatoes is nothing. My GF and I are going to homestead together, and I raise livestock so she can eat keto and be healthy. We’ll see what kind of changes we both undergo. I know one thing that’ll make a huge difference for her: the sheer amount of manual labor involved in a subsistence life. Drawing water, walking to town, shoveling snow, swinging a scythe, riding a horse. Everything is work. Anyways, highly enjoyed the video, and learning a lot. Looking forward to supporting my beloved in her health journey.

Thoroughly enjoying this series. This video made me laugh out loud several times. Other than needing a few Patriots items in the background, on point! Thank you 😎

Steve! Great series. I also have GI issues. Tried almost everything avail. Low carb has always been the easiest on my body and brain. You should make a t-shirt that reads, Straight Up Potato. Ugh, Im irish and we love our potatoes but as a general rule, we cook our potato with fat! :)

Coming back for the fifth one.

Thanks for sharing!😊🌹

It's amazing how much younger you look since you transformed.

I’ve been enjoying your transformation series. I’m pretty new to your channel and don’t follow Keto. I found you by chance when I was searching for chaffle recipes when I saw them mentioned on another channel. I definitely have a significant amount of weight I need to lose, but am not on any particular program right now. When I did lose 75lbs in the past it was by calorie counting, which I really don’t want to go back to. The most recent thing I’ve tried is intermittent fasting, which was much easier than I thought it would be and made me less hungry. I was losing and plan on going back to it this week after falling off during the holidays. It struck me when you talked about how the Presto book could go a number of different ways and that Penn seemed to be doing “vegan keto”. I feel like I’m heading towards something kind of like that. You see, the channels I watch run the gamut, mostly being Keto and Whole Food Plant Based. One couple that’s doing WFPB started out just like you did, with Penn’s book and two weeks of just plain potatoes. They have lost almost 300lbs together over just a year and a half. For me, giving up anything entirely is not something I see myself doing, except for maybe processed food and added sugar. I prefer balance as much as possible and have found so much benefit from those I follow on two programs that may initially seem like they may have nothing in common. Whole real food that doesn’t eliminate any one thing is where I seem to naturally be headed and what makes me just feel the best. I also saw your end of year update and am glad that the a**holes won’t keep you from making videos. What works for anyone is very individual and we all should be left alone to do our own thing, even if it does mean tweaking a known program. If you don’t have something helpful to contribute then just shut up about what others choose to do. The people I keep coming back to watch are the ones who freely share good information on what works for them while qualifying that this is just their experience. They are careful not to preach about what you should or shouldn’t do and that we all have to find our own way. They have personalities I enjoy and are just genuinely themselves when it comes to their health journey, as well as the details about how their lives were and are affected by weight and weight loss. You fit all of these for me. Looking forward to catching up on some of your old videos and what you have in store for the New Year. I’ll be watching. That awesome voice of yours doesn’t hurt one bit either. ;)

Lololololol! I felt like my country have been liberated! That was funny!😃

After seeing the segment about the potato famine, now I understand the face you made and the breath you took before eating the potato during the starch resistance series.

Your story is very moving! I too binge watched Keto Connect to get started. I also binged watched High Falutin' Low Carb. How about a video on how to make a keto horchata?
