I am binge watching "My Transformation." On to part 4!

Thank you for sharing! I was a heroin addict and overdosed....and after I was narcaned I literally cried out and said "Jesus if you are real and you care about me I need to know now" bc I was going to kill myself again....In that same moment I felt like warm butter poured over me...and instantly downloaded in my mind that yes he is real and yes he loves me. It has been 4 years but I kid you not...just like the bible says - if you get closer to him he will come closer to you. Ask him if he is real and he will reveal himself to you. Jesus is King. Feel free to ask me any questions! Love this channel!

Too many times I've neglected thanking you for sharing your transition story. So thank you, Steve. When you talked about turning the calendar to the saying, "Which is stronger, your faith or your fear", I wept.

This is why your channel is my favorite of all the keto related channels. The emotional and spiritual journey is so important, and you bring it to your presentations inherently, even before these "transition" videos. It's who you are. Thank you for the depth of your sharing.

it is your channel, talk about anything you want. Haters are going to hate no matter what. It is a very good video. The reason why I watch your channel is because you are straightforward and honest.

Just to make sure I'm really clear (and for people who don't read the video description) -- this is not a religious video and this will be the ONE and ONLY time I talk about my spirituality in my videos. If the topic of spirituality makes you uncomfortable, just skip this one. You don't need to worry about the tone/tenor of this channel changing. This is not me pushing my beliefs on anyone. This is only me sharing my feelings about drawing strength from "Something Bigger". That can be God, the Universe, Nature, whatever. If you don't believe in any of that, we can still be friends -- heck, I'm married to an atheist. Either hit the [back] button or jump to 12:10 where I talk about Penn Gillette and how he got me to meditate.

Never be ashamed to talk about your faith in Jesus as people’s reactions are their issues not yours. Keep on brother 🙏

Steve, you did great! Some of us TRULY understand . Stay the course and we are here cheering you on 👍🙏🦋

Hi Steve…I’m going to start by saying that I never thought that looking for a low carb/keto recipe for corn tortillas was going to lead me to you. I’ve subscribed your channel and daily for the past week & a half I’ve been watching your older videos on KZfaq trying to catch up with the “now”. Your recipes, insight, & product testing have helped me a lot. But today, something has changed. I did not expect that a channel that I look forward to watching on KZfaq was going to go in the direction that this video went. The last 2+ years for me have been, to put it mildly, hell. In January of 2020 my loving wife of 28 1/2 years told me that she wanted a divorce- that was just the start of it and I don’t wish to go into it any further on here. I knew that our marriage wasn’t “perfect” but pretty “average” with no physical abuse or anything like that. No gambling, drug or substance abuse, or alcohol abuse. However, I knew that there were parts of my life that needed improvement. I knew that I wasn’t the perfect husband. Shortly after my wife told me the news I decided to live my life in such a way that I just want to be better today than I was yesterday. So that’s the approach to life that I now take. I’m more patient, loving, caring, understanding, & empathetic and I don’t take ANYTHING for granted anymore. Obviously these changes didn’t occur overnight and I’m still working on them on a daily basis. This way of thinking keeps me in line to strive to just be that better person each & every day. At this point it has become apparent to many of my family members & friends that this change is occurring. As I said earlier, I didn’t expect to find this “depth” on a keto recipe KZfaq channel but I have and I’m so thankful that I have. I’ve become much more spiritual and aware of the beauty of nature, others, & other things that surround us on a daily basis but we just take for granted or are otherwise too busy to notice. This in itself is a beautiful thing. Well, enough from me I just wanted to let you know that yours is the first KZfaq channel that I’ve come across to address all of these issues. To me it’s actually quite amazing how God allows us to find others & things by opening our eyes. Thank you for all that you do and sharing your life’s journey, both past & current, with us. I truly find you and the content of your channel super-inspiring. Thanks again & you’re welcome for me watching.😂

One time before keto, I was in a dark place and felt very empty inside. I grew up in a Christian home and like you it was more ritual prayer. The day I was in the dark Cyndi down and looked out into the darkness and whisper God do you love me. All of a sudden I heard a yes and it was not a voice, but a thought that was not my own that startled me. Since than it has happened many times. I’m grateful for the many moments that have made me who i am today.

I've heard God like that 5 times in my life. I wish everyone could experience this. I have been married to a non-believer for 24 yrs. He requested I raise our kids Christian.

Steve, I think this has to be my most favorite video of yours to date. You speak so honestly and sincerely about your deepest thoughts and feelings. I was hanging on every word throughout. Good for you for having the courage to share so much of your personal and private side. Much of what you talked about struck familiar chords in my own history and judging by the number of comments you have received, I am not alone. Thank you for this gift of inner self to us all. Bless you.

I think I have never felt so related to someone which si radically different from me. I am a 28yo from Mexico I have watched several videos of your channel and I have gone trough some of the hardship you have. Lost my faith and found it back, lost weight and improved my health. I know I am younger and people just say you don't know about life problems yet. the last 2 years of my life were terrible. I was kicked out of my startup by a hostile takeover, my mom needed an open heartsurgery and I had some health issues myself, grandpa died. This was just so much in a short period of time that took me to me knees. There in the bottom after almost a decade of considering myself agnostic/atheist God showed his face to me in a very particular way one that only I could understand. I remember during the hardest part of this 2 year crisis I was just like you sometimes praying for him to end my suffering, but I was so wrong life is so beautiful even with the pain and hardship. Thanks for sharing your story, stay healthy and happy!

I am so glad I found you. I love your videos and now I see you for who you are. I love the human inside of the keto body! May our Lord continue to help you as you grow. To see a real human share their heart and soul is so encouraging and refreshing. Thank you.

Steve - thanks for this video. You are SO right when you say all three aspects (emotional, spiritual, and physical) have to be in alignment to achieve and maintain health and, if needed, weight loss. I was in a similar place seven years ago and lost 80+ pounds (on a non-keto diet), and have been maintaining that (now using Keto as my lifestyle) since. But, it wasn't until my mind and spirit were in the right place that I could begin that journey. I think it is a very important message for all your viewers and while many of us come here for your recipes and fun videos, it's great to get to know your story "behind the scenes." Thanks again.

You are so on target. I appreciate this a bunch.

So happy that you shared this. Though some may be put off by spirituality, it was part of your journey, and in my opinion, an important part. The best take-away, for everyone regardless of religious beliefs, is to be aware and to be in the moment. Thank you. ❤

I can relate to so many things you talk about. Yes, signs from God on the calendar and thoughts coming into your mind that are not your own is what I’ve experienced myself. Love that you’re sharing your journey!!

You are brilliant & such an inspiration. Yes there is so much power in prayer & in listening. Since your journey you are looking 10+ years younger now than you did in your older photos. Much energy to you 💚

8:27 " Do you trust me". So AWSOME!!

Your experience with Penn reminds me of the movie "Amadeus" (and the real life rivalry between Mozart and Salieri). For whatever reason, God gifted this profane (raised Catholic) little man with the inspiration to create, the apex of which may be his Great Mass in C Minor (K 427) ... unworldly. Even as a musician (cellist) having performed this piece many times, I am in awe. Sometimes even the most unappealing, unlikely characters bring us messages and glimpses of a higher power, whatever, whomever it may be, to nudge, cajole, and sometimes deliver us to where we are meant to be - if we're willing to experience things and feel, with an open mind, and an open heart. Just found your channel; thank you, much!

Thank you for sharing. I am a Spiritual person too. Religion~no more, thanks! I love my “Spirit Team” as I like to call them! Keep doing the good work. You are so appreciated! ❤️

Thank you so much for making this series, Steve! I've said it before; I'll say it again: You are DEFINITELY helping people out there who are suffering from obesity, diabetes, high BP, heart disease, etc! Just as Penn Jillettte inspired you to change the trajectory of your life, I'm sure that you are doing the same for someone else. Strangers helping strangers... Regarding the subject of your faith and spirituality, there's no need to justify any of it. As far as I'm concerned, you can share as much or as little as you think is relevant. I'm not especially religious, but I do go to Overeaters Anonymous meetings, and much of the meetings are focused on "Higher Power" and "handing it over the God." My point is, our relationship with a Higher Power (as we understand it) is one of the pillars of recovery. It's not JUST about the food.

Just recently found your channel and now suggestions for your videos come regularly. This series on your transformation has been amazing. It has been tear inducing and inspirational. Thank you! May God bless you and your family! I know this comment is so late compared to when you posted but 🤷🏻‍♀️

"I'm no stranger to salty language, myself, but I like to save it for special occasions..." That made me laugh out loud. I'm glad I wasn't taking a sip of my BPC because I'd have spit it everywhere. That was the funniest things I've heard all week!

I also grew up with a crappy childhood, living with an alcoholic mother. I’m having the same struggle w spirituality right now as I change my life. Thx for posting this. It’s very helpful.

Just wanted to say I believe this video is a sign for me. I came for diet advice and received much more. My father was not in my life, I've tried every diet you have mentioned, and I'm a non denominational Christian. I even went to seminary and graduated with a bachelors. Ironically the spiritual element is one I have neglected, especially in terms of weight loss. Thanks for this.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you🙏🤗🙏🕊

Thank you Steve. In this day and age, sometimes it takes a lot of courage and love to bring up God especially on this kind of platform. I admire your tenacity for providing us with recipe videos that are worthy of preparing. And now that you have shown us your love for God and your humanness, you have not only my admiration for your videos but my respect as well. I believe that just as ardent as this Penn guy is about his unbelief in the Divine Creator, those of us who believe and love Him should be just as ardent as well. May Almighty God - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - continue to use you for depositing goodness into this world of ours. 💕✝️💕

i had that epiphany moment when I asked God what he would have me do and he said- BE CONSISTENT. Uh, Ok, so like going to church, or eating right, etc. That be consistent meant in EVERYTHING. So, I have done much better in every area of my life than I had ever done before.

Thanks for this video. Spiritual Well-Being is so important during a life transition.

I've experienced that "voice". You said it was like a thought that wasn't your own. I describe it by what it wasn't. It wasn't a thought, it wasn't a sound, it was just "there". And it was more real than a thought could have been. It's the still, small voice. It's rare but it's beautiful when it comes.

Standing ovation! Bravo! Thank you for sharing & God bless you!

I love hearing about your story and just listening to you speak whether it be in one of these transition videos or whether it is a cooking video, I find, is very cathartic to me. I'm trying to find a little peace myself. My mom has been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks and my dad has basically been living there and only coming home to shower. Over the past couple of days they have been talking about putting her in hospice. I am having a hard time finding peace over this and my dad can't hardly speak without crying.

Looking forward to the next video.

On spirituality... I am not Christian but I respect the personal nature of belief and thus I find wisdom in almost every spiritual or religious belief. There are a lot of similarities and differences, with the former being larger in both number and scope, the latter being mostly in trivialities, ritual or traditions. You believe, you pray, enough said. My experience is that when you ask for a sign... you often get "hit over the head" with the signs you missed up to then, but suddenly you recognise them for what they mean to you personally. Your story tells me your belief is 100% real, and so I honour your attitude.

Steve ty so much for your honesty. It is very powerful. Good for you! As a spiritual teacher you are SOOOO right about the misconceptions of prayer and why people say prayer doesn't work. The Universe, God what ever you call it, is always there if we ask to be guided and shown. Bless you brother and keep up the faith 👍🏼🙏🏼

I appreciate you sharing this. No kidding about how becoming healthy involves your mind, spirit, and body. I think that is why so many "diets" fail. You must think of your whole being.

Steve you are an AMAZING Speaker dude!! You leave us wanting more like a TV series addiction!!😮 WoW!!!Keep it coming, you are inspiring so many!! My Keto journey needed you in my life and I am forever changed!! God Bless You for all your Courage to share with us your story!!❤I'm Hooked Dude!! Inspire me some more!!😊

Thank you Steve. Keep these videos coming. I could just listen to you for a long time. You have what it takes to be a motivational speaker.

I’m loving following your story! I can’t wait to hear what you share next! It’s giving me hope to get healthier and overcome food addiction even at 53. Like some others have commented, it’s a shame that Christians are feeling so fearful of “offending others” and hesitate to share our beliefs and stories. Praise God and thank you for your willingness to be honest and share. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Love your honesty. The candor and depth of your sharing is inspiring. Thank you

Let’s start by I came to this channel for Chaffles. Thank you Steve and I’d like to leave it that. THANK YOU

I pray like you, christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship. After 42 years at this, I know what you say is true, God don't say much verbally, but when he does, & he definitely does, a few words that are so relevant are more real than steel & stone. You just "know" that he spoke. Amen! Help that you asked for, choosing to pay attention to him, brings results. Yes it is true, Angels commissioned to help, can will & do. Their respect for your liberty is so divine, that we must learn to grant them the freedom to assist us. Only twice God came & looked at me, usually to say thankyou for doing something. When he does, steel & stone vaporize like they were transformed into sunlight, and shone out of the way, you will see him. When his gaze leaves, those "solid substances" will reform themselves as though they were formed out of light in the first place. There is nothing capable of withstanding God's vision being brought to bear upon it. Thankyou sir, for all what it took, in order for this video to be what it is.🗽🕯

I've just started watching your video's (recent diabetes diagnosed, I'm not keto, but am no sugar/low carb) and I find your videos/recipes a pure Godsend, and you do it so thoughtfully and respectfully. Watching your stories here makes it all more personal and real. Thanks for this.

So important to realize that spirituality is an essential part of someone's being. And if you are trying to fix the other "2 legs" and are ignoring the 3rd, real healing and change will not happen or be lasting. Again, thank you for sharing this intimate story with us. You will help so many people.

Thank you for adding that 3rd leg of the "stool" and thank you for being candid. So many of us parallel the journey; some are just finding their path and others are finding the rocky spots they need to overcome. Please know you are making a difference.

The Best Part of your journey!! 🙏

Born and brought up as Jewish with a Welsh Baptist Father which was fine I believe in “someone” but feel exactly how you describe it A warm blanket around me I can honestly say without feeling hypocritical God Bless you Steve!

"Fear is faith in the enemy."

Sunday, my pastor talked about Faith. Basically, it's a choice to believe. I'm glad that you experienced the thought you described. I believe the Holy Spirit was talking to you. Thanks Steve for this video.

This is fascinating. I think you are unraveling what the problem may be for many of us; me, absolutely. There is some elusive reason why I can not lose a substantial amount of the weight I need to lose. I'm missing something and everything you have said so far rings true for me. I've tried meditating so many times too, yet I can't sit still for more than 5 minutes or quiet my monkey mind. I look forward to the next part!

YT algos are fallin' down on the job. They _know_ I'm into religion _and_ Keto! But I'm only now seeing this in my suggested vids! I am a recovering Evangelical and am now a Student of Ancient Religions and Spiritual Traditions. This is my favorite thing! I, too, would consider myself pretty eclectic. And I love hearing about other people's spiritual journeys! If God can speak from Balaam's Ass (look it up!), He can speak thru an Atheist! That is a testament to how powerful a Force God is! Bless you and Thank God you were lead to the methods that would end up making your life better!

Crash course watching all your vids on KZfaq. Perfect analogy of the three legged stool to describe our totality: physical, mental and spiritual. Ok AnnMarie, back to work :-)

It can take you out of a deep black hole or bring you back down to earth, depending who you are. But when we find that spiritual spark we can carry the light thru any human experience. It needs to be renewed also. But the joy, pure joy, is worth the adventure. Garbleygook to some.

There are no coincidences only Providence. Your belief and sharing your faith is Gods grace. Your sharing is what we are all called to do. Even sharing with non believers. Thank you. It’s not a coincidence I found your KZfaq channel. You opened your heart, your mind and your ears and for that you have been given Gods grace. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Amazing journey! I already cried twice listening to your story

Again I thank you for your openness. It helps to open my mind. I am again patiently waiting for the continued videos.

I was so excited that u uploaded part 2 😊. Love listening to your story, because it resonates with me on so many levels. Now I am looking forward to part 3 💚.

Thank you for sharing. I think a lot of people will draw strength from this video and it is tied into your journey of finding the Keto way of eating. I appreciate you being so honest. I like your shirt. :)

Love this video, I have certainly learned on my journey that it is about more than just food. I have traced back where my binge eating and using food for comfort came from and there is definitely a spiritual thread that runs through it all

Thank you Steve for sharing this part of your journey with us. Our spiritual emotional journey is so important and not to be ignored. I have really been suffering with anxiety lately and I loved the part where you talked about your faith or your fear.. which is stronger? I was really convicted about that. My fear has been overtaking me....keeping me awake all night long.I think I will pray more for Gods guidance in my life and also try out that app. You are extremely brave to share your journey with all of us! I can’t wait for the next part of your story. I think you are just awesome!

Love your channel....you really have a wonderful connection to people. Thank you for your honesty, courage and compassion.

Yaaaaay....could hardly wait for this!❤❤❤

Good for you. I have heard that voice in the center of my head a few times in my lifetime so I know of what you speak. It is an awesome thing. One time I did not listen to its warning and regretted that immensely. Other times it has been a great comfort to me and given me insights into my life. To me, it says carry on brother/sister you are going in the right direction.

Thanks for that! I’m looking forward to the next stage of your journey!! God bless! Fran 😊

This video has touched me more than any other you have done as it is very close to my heart. The past ten years or so I have become closer to our Father than ever before and he has given me more comfort and strength to believe in him and myself. Thank you for being so open.

I think everyone goes through a transition of sorts at some time during their lives. Thanks for sharing yours, very brave.

I feel the same way about "Father".... and that came about when I questioned, truly questioned, why things in my past happened and out loud even asked.."Do I need counseling? Am I worthy to be loved?" ( so much rejection in my childhood and life as an adult).. And I literally "heard" the answer... "I sent my Son to die for you knowing all about you..sooo.. you are precious to me.. accept my love and see your worth through my eyes!!" That changed everything.. I have a Father that loves me..

I am a very recent subscriber and so glad I have found your videos, This video, plus 1 & 2, have been so helpful! Thank you!

very good series of videos....thanks

Thank you for sharing your journey. I asked the Father to show me a way out of my downward spiral...and I have had a similar journey. I appreciate your time in the videos and honesty. I enjoy your content.

Thank you Steve for sharing your story. Like with most stories, we all hear the same differently. And that makes you a master storyteller! Thank you for helping to build a community to support one another.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful personal story! It touched me and so many others....

What a great 3 part series. Thank you for being so open about your history, faith, and journey.

Love! Love! Love! Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Steve, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video. You truly have a gift for sharing & teaching in a way that people can easily relate. I hope you continue to share more about your spiritual journey. I so appreciate your authenticity. I agree, we have to look at all of ourselves to find true healing. Looking forward to part 4. Thank you!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey. Your message really resonates with me.

I am deeply grateful for you sharing your personal truth of what grounds you and what helps you embrace your humanity. I am inspired to also ask myself, "Is what I fear or what I believe stronger" and then to carve out the time to nurture my own spirituality and prayer. Many thanks for your courage and honesty. (:

Inspiring! Reminder, as well, the light is on ... find your way to spiritual healing as well as your amazing physical transformation. Make your way to the best local Catholic Church & come home again. The rosary is the best meditation available 📿!

Buddy I fell on your channel looking for heathy options and got that info thank you never did I know how moving finding this part was just Thank you !

W🤩W… I have goosebumps… that message in your head you spoke of is exactly what I am referring to in regards to ‘my whispering angels’.

Awesome video Steve...can't wait for the next installment. God Bless!

wow :) I am so enjoying your frankness and genuine character-thx again

WOW. This is phenomenal. I've watched a lot of your videos and this is my absolute favorite. Your integrity and faith shines through. You can really be an influence for good in this world. We need more of that these days. Thank you for being courageous and sharing.

You have a wonderful voice. I havent looked yet but you could do meditation videos. Thank you for sharing your story. You are so real. Your story touched my heart on many levels. I have just started meditating and your story has made it even more evident that this is going to be important for me.

I absolutely Love your Story. Thanks for sharing.

Omg can't wait for your next one! Very insightful and helpful to me.

It's refreshing to listen to someone who believes in "God" but doesn't limit Him. It can absolutely be "Father" "Universe" "Creator" "Higher Power"... whatever. Truly enjoying this series!! Off to #4...

Excellent Series. Thanks for sharing.

God will talk to you the way you thought. He does not talk to me out loud as a person would, but I do hear Him! You will learn His voice as you draw closer and God will show you so much that He is right there with you always.

Great videos thankyou.. They have been a great help.. Keep them coming 👍

Some of the most life-changing moments and closeness to my higher power have happened to me at 3am in the morning when I was really able to listen...thank you for sharing....I believe in miracles and letting go and surrender are an amazing catalyst for change...thank God

Your shift in prayer is beautiful - and very much in line with how I feel about it

I’m late to this, but: THANK YOU!!! This is beautiful and is strengthening my faith at a time I need it most. Your approach to your relationship with God and spirituality is like mine-Christian with a healthy dash of Eastern meditation and wisdom. Most importantly, an openness to God and all the good that God brings ❤

Speaking of ignoring nudges, I have prayed to God for help with weight loss off and on for years. In the last year I kept randomly bumping into Butter Bob videos and then one day I paid attention. I lost 20 lbs my first month and 30 lbs my first 8 weeks.

Wow. Amazing.True. Thank you for sharing

Love your videos, thanks a bunch!

Thank you. And Wow--serendipity abounds with your message, even though it's 2 years old. I too bought that calendar on sale in February! Similarly, I also just came to the realization that my fear of changing was less than my fear of changing.

Thanks for sharing Steve. You are a gifted communicator. I look forward to the next installment.
