NOTE: The video on Alycia's end was a little messy initially in this video (pixilated and not sync'ed with the audio). I'm guessing it was an internet issue. It gradually gets better after about 10 minutes in. Also, out of curiosity, I let KZfaq auto insert ads into this video. It inserted 15 ad breaks. LOL. I dialed that back to 3.

Hadn’t come across Alycia before but anyone who is about delicious desserts is someone I want to hang out with

Regarding the "gateway" concern: my feeling is that if there weren't lower sugar/lower carb options out there, when I do get cravings I'd be reaching for much more harmful alternatives so I'm glad these options are out there.

Thank God the video and audio got better, was hard to watch in the beginning! Lol. Thank you Steve for conducting a great interview and thank you to my awesome fans for recommending me as a potential interviewee! I had a great time and looking forward to the future of all our channels and keto creations we are working towards! Update: 13 week ultrasound later today!! So excited!! And new recipe video coming Saturday! 😁❤️

Congratulations again Alisha!!! You look awesome, was surprised but happy to see you. I ❤️ your ideas and the time you put into this! I even repurchased some coconut flour which is a big deal for me. Sweet treats are not a trigger for everybody, even me and I was a 3 times a day sugar and chocaholic.. Please don't be discouraged by the keto police! We appreciate you for sure, some need your ideas to feel their keto diet is complete. Delete the negative people, you are a wonderful chemist and pastry Chef. Pat that little baby for me!

I'm with Alycia, there's a good need for desserts. My mother was deep into diabetes. It was the sweet foods that won her over and gave her the ability to do low carb. She even had to stop all insulin because she healed so much eating this way! Thank you Steve for this interview. I love following you both!

Love Alycia aka the new Mrs Hesketh!! Wishing her well with her new marriage and bakery!!

When my husband's grandmother taught me her cake recipe the best tip she gave me was: always read the recipe even if you think you know it by heart. I've passed along that tidbit to everyone whom I talk about baking.

I love Alycia!!! Have made several of her recipes and they are the BEST! Thanks Steve for this interview. I have been keto for almost 6 yrs and her recipes are the closest to the real thing.

What a great interview with Alycia. I do think that she has great baking skills and if you do what she says, you will have a better outcome. Some people skip things or say "that's good enough".... like when beating a batter, or creaming eggs and sugar. If she is saying to beat something for 8 minutes, you should beat it for 8 minutes. Sometimes people are just too impatient and then wonder why their baked good didn't turn out well. Good luck on the bakery Alycia!

Love Alycia's recipes. She is so real and down to earth. I would go to her bakery and buy her products if I live near her bakery. But the closest thing would be to bake stuff myself.

Love Alycia’s psmf bread recipe and the coffee cake,been making them regularly❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am usually in tears when I have to bake something, I hate having to look for keto ingredients, so much easier just to reach for the flour and sugar canisters, grab my other ingredients in the pantry. Now I feel like a scientist looking for xanthum gum, different flours, different sugars, very frustrating.

Oh my gosh, what another wonderful interview Steve. I love the idea of collaboration , without Keto police. Like a lot of other people Keto is life style for us, on the other hand there is no reason not to have cake, desert, ice cream. Thanks for another wonderful thoughts.

Thank you so much for introducing me to keto baking because I hope to not "NEED" cheat days for sweets 😀

Alicia has another subscriber. Can’t wait to get into her recipes. Enjoyable interview, Steve, thank you.

It was so great to see the two of you collaborate. Alycia, Keto Upgrade, has one of the best desert channels and like they say in the video, she goes above and beyond to bring her watchers reliable delicious recipes, I am a one of those very grateful followers. Please check out her channel and support her by subscribing, especially if you like to bake. Steve, I love how you are building a community among you all Keto geniuses and appreciate you even more that you invited Alicia on your channel and you don’t even do a lot of sweets. I wish the both of you all the best of success

Another great interview. She's new to me, but I'm definitely going to start checking out her videos. I think it's wonderful that she's willing to devote so much of her personal time to help others on keto make delicious foods they might have thought were no longer achievable. One of the difficult aspects of going keto for me is that I often feel a bit isolated as I'm the only one in my family doing keto, so we rarely eat the same food, and at parties there's usually little I can eat, so you feel like the odd man out. Her making foods that are usually at parties and celebrations accessible can help reintegrate keto eaters into the social aspect of eating with non keto people. My congratulations on her wedding, the pregnancy, and her new bakery! I wish her great success. I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on the honey substitutes when you've got that ready as I really miss honey mustard.

I started watching keto upgrade because of this video and I can’t thank you enough!

Puff pastry!! Thank you!! I hope your business is a great success!! If you ever do mail order, I’ll be a regular customer. Your talent and skill is so needed in the keto world. Kudos to you Alycia!!

Thank you Steve, so glad to find a new channel showing ideas on desserts, who knew??? Although we don't realize the time it takes to make KZfaq videos, it is good to hear you both talk about the procedures and the process. It is great to hear you both discuss it. Nice to meet you, Alycia!

Love love LOVE Alycia!! ❤️ 🥰 ❤️ I've been following her for a while and her recipes are da B0MB!! (subbed zero for "O" so no flag! 😆) Love the interview series! I have lots I want to see on! 😊 Thanks Steve and Alycia! ❤️💙💜 ~Lana

I’m glad you said that about the mason jar ice cream, I thought it was just me! I assume that no one lies in these videos, you’d think I’d learn 🤷🏻‍♀️

Another fun and interesting interview. I really appreciate getting to know these creators better and the conversations are fascinating. I am ready to take a road trip up to Alycia's bakery!

Best interview ever!!! Thank you Steve Thank you Alycia

Oh already knew your show is my holy grail Steve-O… being a baker this is my dessert 🍮 with ganache.

I have Ben watching her for a while! Congratulations Alycia

OH! MY! GOSHNESS! I've checked out several recipes, YEOUZA! I am definitely glad I found keto Upgrade thanks to Steve! Life will be better now!

Great interview! I just subscribed to her channel, because you asked all of the right questions. And that voice-you have THE best KZfaq voice. Thanks so much for all you do!

This was so interesting, Steve. I hadn't heard of Alycia before. Like you, I am not much of a sweet/dessert eater but often I want to make a recipe for my daughter, who is Keto. And these recipes sure take it up a notch. Very ambitious!

I love her baking video. Looking forward to perhaps being able to order from her shop someday. Anyone that can come up with Keto puff pastry is a GENIUS...

Love Alycia's channel. HUGE fan of her keto Snickers. Changed my life!

Thanks Steve for this interview, It was great I 've always been a baker, and watching Alycia and following her amazing skills for a while now I know I can bake again ❗❗❗👸

People that say you don't crave sweets on Keto never craved them in the first place IMO. I finally found a keto dessert treat that is sooo yummy. Bought a Can Do Keto Krisp- the chocolate raspberry. I wish it didn't have the krisps though.

You know from the viewer side the most valuable thing both of your channels have given us viewers is a well tested recipe. I have not had one total failure from either channel. Which gives me confidence if I have to buy a special ingredient because I know it will work! I have a tote full of products I have bought that other channels have pushed. multiple hundreds of dollars wasted it is enough to make me a little pessimistic when I see a new video because taking a bite, looking in the camera, and exclaiming how great it is has become a normal lie!

Thank you Steve for this great interview and all the content you bring. You are blessed with a voice that one will stop and listen to.

WOW! I thoroughly enjoyed this collaboration best one yet ! Thank you both please do another. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

Steve, thank you for having Keto Upgrade! Love her channel due to my massive sweet tooth! All the recipes I’ve tried are brilliant!!

That was very cool of you to have her on your podcast. I’ve been following her for a while and can attest that her recipes work. Love you and Dennis at blacktie.

Congrats to Alycia in her new business venture!!! 🥰 I still use her angel food cake recipe to make a mini strawberry shortcake for my weekly treat every Sunday.

Thanks for this interview! I’ve been following Alycia since January. Her version of egg white bread, with yeast and psyllium, is a game-changer for me and I make two loaves a week as a well as hamburger buns. Also love her vanilla ice cream, mixed berry cheesecake, and several others.

Thanks for introducing us to another keto baker. I have a sweet tooth for baked goods. That has actually been my biggest stumbling block to sticking to keto and losing. I'm definitely going to follow and subscribe to her channel!

I really enjoyed this interview. I decided to follow Alyssa since so many sweets are just not good but the people who make them act like they are so delicious. Hopefully I will learn from her how to bake keto tastefully. Thanks so much.

Love this video! Alycia is one of my favorites! Her psmf bread is so good. Takes a while to make but very satisfying. Thank you Steve!

I adore the tiramisu recipe. Ice cream, well who doesn’t love it, and though keto my family still doesn’t know 🙏! Yes try the puff pastry recipe it will SO surprise you and you can use it in so many ways.

You guys are so generous. I’m looking forward to trying more keto baked goods. Thank you both.

Glad you brought Alycia on. I have watched and enjoyed learning from her. So happy for others to get to know her. Thanks, Steve!

Good interview. Some great insights into you tube production. Congratulations on your pregnancy best of luck to you with new family and bakery Thank you Steve I like this segment.

Wishing you much much success! Your work keeps people healthy, thank you so much ♥️... Yes to a roundtable 👍👍

I love her! She has alot of terrific recipes.. We all fight the same battle, I am a total sweet eater & I love her stuff!!!

Just loved Alycia channel forever and I love your using coconut flour more than almond. Your zuchinni bread I've made 4 times. Good interview!!

Thanks so much for this interview! I've subscribed to Alycia's site and I'm going to rush over and see all the episodes. How exciting!

I think it has more potential of being a gateway drug to becoming keto and getting hooked on ketones than turning to the dark side. Found her on accident, or YT algorithm... but have enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

Yay!! I’ve been waiting for this one!! Love Alycia and Keto Upgrade! 😍

Great interview! Her recipes are brilliant and loved watching you two swap stories. So appreciate all the work you all put in and share to make this lifestyle sustainable and enjoyable.

Another great one! I love watching Keto Update too! I have been trying to make sponge candy too (i'm french canadian and the Crunchie candy bar is a favorite) i have failed with every attempt yet... including allulose too. Please keep trying! Love both your channels!

What a great interview! Alycia is a fountain of knowledge. I'm glad trained experts like her put in the time to perfect recipes that I love. I hope she has great success in her new business. Thank you!!

I'm an older keto person who loves to bake...and eat delicious stuff! Alycia makes the most delicious recipes, except for ice cream, LOL. I really love the no-machine ice cream I make, which got even better after Steve introduced us to tara gum (that I now add) for his version with a Ninja, thanks Steve! Great interview, sending much love to you both.

I would love to see a “geek out round table” sometime. Great interview, I had never seen keto upgrade before! Thanks Steve

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!’ Thank you for having this guest!

Great interview!! I have been following Keto Upgrade (Alycia) for a while. Would love to also see you interview Wendy and Harry from Loving It On Keto, and Joe and Rachel of 2KrazyKetos. Those would be great too!! Thank you for sharing this video.

Love, love, love Alycia’s Keto Upgrade channel. Her recipes saved me from ditching keto when I craved good desserts. Her coffee cake is the best! I’m desperate for Keto Food Network shows. Why can’t we have that?

I love listening to her point of view, I want to try to check out her channel also. I appreciate that you're bringing on some other people and this is great

EVERY dessert I tried from her was amazing

just love Alycia... and you too Steve!

Thanks Steve for this interview. You do a great job asking questions and this was very interesting. I went over to Alycia’s channel and watched the Snickers recipe. It looks so good!

Love the interviews Steve! In my effort to use Social Media instead of letting it use me I have limited my You Tube subscriptions to 20 accounts. I just wanted you to know that it wasn't even a close call to keep Serious Keto in my lineup. Your channel adds to my life in many ways. Your content inspires, teaches and entertains me every week. Thank you!

Subscribed to keto upgrade! ☺️

Love, love, love her channel, recipes and personality! And yours, too, of course💜

This was a wonderful interview. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from both of you.

Great interview. I love baking and discovered Alycia awhile ago. I really appreciate all her hard work and her perspective as a pastry chef.

Great interview! I love her channel and have tried some of her recipes which were all good. The latest was her graham cracker crust recipe for a recent cheesecake and it was the best keto cheesecake crust Ive made for sure. Awesome that she's opened a keto bake shop now, she's really talented.

Thank you so much! Loved this interview! 💕

Alycia, I want to thank you for your excellent recipes. I am with you; I would never be able to stick with any dietary change if I couldn't have a decent sweet once in awhile ( and fat bombs ain't makin' it). Your ice cream is so good! This was a great interview guys, very interesting.

I love her recipes. Thank you for highlighting her.

Steve, thanks for this introduction! I've enjoyed watching Nili so I'm happy about these videos! Meeting people new to me. Love it. Alycia, nice to meet you and love the name of your bakery!!!

Hi there. I love Alycia's channel. Great interview. Love your channel too Steve. Found you from your Chaffle video.

Love both of you! So happy to listen to you together.

Oh wow! I use her non nut flour keto bread loaf recipe all the time.

OMG! I just looked up the name of your shop! Your right down the street! Well, half hour! YaY! New bakery. Great to see where you are Alycia

Thanks for the introduction to Alycia, more smart videos to watch.

She's a doll! Thanks to both of you 😁

Loved this interview/video! Super excited to hear where Alycia's bakery is. Will be taking a road trip soon :) I am from the Southern Tier of NY.

Really enjoyed this interview. You ask the best questions.

This interview was awesome!

Thank you for doing this. I have subscribed to several keto cooking YT, and I noticed more than half of time, recipe turns out not so good as they are making it out to be, sorta like mason jar ice cream, yeah, I tried that one. It's discouraging to have bad outcome. Her YT sounds more promising that I wont waste expensive keto ingredient on trying out the recipe. I subscribed and will be trying out her recipes with better confidence! While some people feels like this is gateway and rather to not eat any sweets, it's good on them, but for some of us, it's better than buying questionable "keto" sweets in the grocery stores when we have cravings. I tell myself to say no when I go to the store but I still grab chocolate chip cookie with low carb, even tho I know it have terrible ingredients, absolutely not good for me! But only reason I'm buying it is because I'm craving choc chip cookies, I have not yet found perfect choc chip keto cookie recipes. If I had one, I would not be buying that. It's good to have those recipes out there so that we each can have freedom to have better healthier dessert alternative! 🥰🥰

Oh yeah...two of my favorites! Love ❤️ both of you! Learned much from both of you! Actually learning what I did wrong and can fix it next time. Am working on developing recipe now that's actually drawned on 3 U tubers recipes. Thanks for all you guys do. It's a big learning curve to cook/bake keto.

❤ Hi Steve! Hi Alycia Congratulations on your Marriage, your Pregnancy 🤗 and your New Bakery 🤚 I just joined your Channel Thanks to this interview. I wish you all the very best ❤ May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the Communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen❣😘

Two of my favorite Keto Content creators, this was a great interview. I've been following both of you since I begin my keto lifestyle. I'd love to see Alycia collaborate with Carolyn Ketchum (All Day I Dream About Food). I'd love to see more of Carolyn's recipes not use almond flour. I don't seem to tolerate almond flour anymore :(

Nice interview.

Enjoyed the video

I love the recipes Alycia creates and as an academc, I appreciate the explanations and tips she gives. She is a veritable baking scientist! I have been subscribed to her channel and yours for those reasons! You are both appreciated as professionals

I love this interview! Two of my favorites. 💕 Your creativity is so awesome. I have learned so much from both of you. I’m not great in the kitchen and both of you have been instrumental in my maintenance journey. You are both great teachers. Thank you!

Awesome! So glad you 2 finally linked up.

Great hearing you both discussing all the topics! Thank you!

Very enjoyable interview. I checked out Alycia's channel and subscribed.

Great interview!

Great interview... Steve... you look ten years younger. Love your channel.

I need Alcia's Snicker's recipe!! Yummm

I love watching Alycia and her channel. I also love watching you Steve. Both have great recipes
