My old doctor told me that now that I have diabetes, I'd have to eat between meals. He recommended oatmeal. I knew he was wrong, even before I did my own research. He is no longer my doctor. My current Doc has me on Keto.

I think the cereal companies should be ashamed telling people “ it’s part of a balanced breakfast “ what ever 🙄

A quote from Dr Ken Berry " Eating everything in moderation, will give you moderately good health "

I had started a new job as a care provider in an assisted living facility 4 years ago. I had been there maybe a month or so when we had our first staff meeting where there was food and sweets available for all. I just piled my plate with only meat dishes because I was doing carnivore at the time (and feeling and looking great--my skin was absolutely glowing). One of the med techs asked me why I only had meat on my plate and I told her that I had been doing carnivore for 2 months and had lost 17 pounds and was feeling fantastic. You would have thought she had seen a ghost. Her eyes got so huge and she started telling me how unhealthy that way of eating was and that I could get really sick from it. Mind you, this med tech was probably around 300 pounds and eating an ice cream cone while she was lecturing me on the dangers of eating carnivore. It was taking everything I had to listen to her with a straight face. 🤣

Being a diabetic the doctor and nutritionist said you need to eat 6 small meals every day. The diabetic diet is based on these statements. When I ate 6 small meals I was hungry all the time and thought about food all day long. Thankful I am now doing Keto. Very rarely hungry. As others have said…this is a lifetime commitment. Thank you for another great video. 💕

"You can have just a bite, or piece, it won't hurt you"! Oh yeah, I can't stop with just that. They just don't get it!

Worst health advice for me was that fruit juice will help me become healthier.

The food pyramid was by far the worst advice, the best advice I was ever given was "don't eat starch"

I was pre diabetic before Keto and was told by a relative that her doctor told her that Keto doesn't cure diabetes, it just puts it in remission. So would you tell a cancer patient not to do treatment because it just puts the cancer into remission?!?! I am on Keto and am not pre diabetic any more. She is still diabetic and on medications which she would rather do than cutting carbs. Keto also turned around other health factors I had.

My mother, who is a registered nurse and also my biggest bully ever about my weight, would always bring home papers laying out the newest fad diets to put me on when I was a kid. Everyone else in the house was thin and allowed to eat whatever they want, but because I wasn't thin I had to eat diets like the "Military Diet" and the "Cabbage Diet" and she would always say it was because she wanted me to be healthy. If you're a nurse, you should know that these diets are basically starvation and starvation isn't healthy. She was just embarrassed to have an overweight daughter who wasn't into ballet and cheerleading like she was and all she did by constantly forcing me to do these diets and shaming me about my weight and food choices was to give me a lifelong dysfunctional relationship with food. But, thanks to a lot of introspection and personal growth, I am finally working to repair that dysfunctional relationship with food. Your channel has also helped me see that the best way to fight my seemingly impossible to control food addiction is to stay away from carbs and eat Keto for life. So, thank you for the content you provide!

Here's the thing, once you know how bad sugary foods are for you, most won't typically return to eating it, knowledge is power!

"Eat anything you want, just do it in moderation!" Uh, yanno... If Moderation and I were on speaking terms, I wouldn't be obese! And never underestimate that some people will try to sabotage your weight loss... Intentionally. Even if they love you. They just don't know how to deal with you while you're changing.

I have been told more times than I can count that "Life is short, you should eat whatever you want and stop worrying about Carbs". My response is now " I would prefer that my life is not short and that is why I choose to eat the way I do. I'm 70 lbs lighter because of low carb and I feel amazing!🙂

The worse advice is you need a cheat day so you don't feel deprived. Unhealthy carbs also trigger me to binge so it's not worth it

I had a family friend say to me after not seeing them for years "how are you doing??......I can see you aren't going hungry". That's one of the worst things to say because it made me feel like crap and I ended up eating more. When my daughter was 9 months old I found out I was pregnant again but after an ultrasound it showed that the baby had died but never aborted. I had to have a D&C done and for about a year afterward I was in a deep depression. I gained over 150 pounds in that time and I am working on getting rid of it. I have lost about 70 pounds over the years but am a standstill right now. This Covid garbage and losing both of my parents during the last two years isn't helping either. I will keep trying though.

A dietitian at the gym told me to eat every two hrs and that I wasn't eating enough calories, wellllll that didn't work. I have lost 31 lbs on keto.

Dr. Berry calls it the proper human diet. It is a lifestyle not a diet. Exercise is not a weight loss strategy. Good video. Thank you.

I literally heard all of this "advices" one by one. I always argue with people. I am just starting keto, I finally accepted that I am addicted to sugar and I will have to follow the keto lifestyle. I'm feeling good and full of energy.

It really bothers me when I'm out to dinner with my family and I make a healthy choice and someone will inevitably say, "Oh, it's okay if you cheat just this once." I think that is so disrespectful!

worst diet advice i got was from my former doctor (i was doing EVERYTHING he said ) ... well keto to loose weight is okay for awhile but you have to go back to eating the standard diabetic diet as soon as you can or else you will die... uhmmmm i am 131 lbs. down & off of 8 medications that i had to be on because of listening to my doctor , thank-you but no ... 🤓👌👍✌🖖😎

Same for me. The earlier I eat, the hungrier I am all day. I have never been a breakfast eater. I also get nauseous at the thought of food first thing in the morning. Carbs also trigger me. It's way easier to avoid them than to try to control myself. Agree with you both 100%!

As an "unconventional" exercise physiologist, it hurts my soul every time a client says they want to start exercising to lose weight. While it is important to continue to "move" people have forgotten that you do not need to "exercise" (in the new definition sense of the word) to be healthy at all. It is important to keep your body moving, in what ever capacity that means for u. Sarah and Emily, I love that you garden. And i bet you, you move ur body more than the average person who goes to gym (because they believe that is what they need to do) 3x a week mindlessly sitting on a recumbent bike watching tv (while i hope they are watching your youtube videos). You are filling your cup with things you love that provide movement to your every day, you eat the way the feels good for your body, and you find meaning your work. This is what true balance looks like. I am sorry you had such crappy experiences. i feel you guys. Been there.

When I told a person that my Dr. put me on Keto there was a pause then they said “oh that diet is terrible” I just said oh well I am going to try it anyway. I have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks. When before I couldn’t get the scale to budge even 1 lb

I've constantly watched my weight so 15 to 20 pounds over is usually the most I have been. I love when people who are 80 pounds overweight, who aren't even trying to get their weight under control, tell me how to lose weight

"No one ever over eats broccoli." No words have ever been spoken more true. :-) When I eat a salad I know when I am done. When I eat mashed potatoes there is no bottom of the bowl. Singular proof carb addiction is real.

*"Fat makes you Fat"*, ... it took soooo many years to get this out of my head!!!

The worst piece of diet ‘advice’ was WW for me…did it several times and ALWAYS gained that weight and MORE back.

I finally was able to start my weight loss with encouragement from your channel, I have lost over 50 lbs and I have decided that I too can live a Keto lifestyle for the rest of my lift. So keep up the good work!!! And keep the videos coming!!!

Nothing but the truth I go back to 1974 when Atkins first came out followed that program lost weight quit the program start drinking beer Pizza Pasta got fat again been on keto for 4 years normal weight along with intermittent fasting everything you said is absolutely right on the money thank you keto twins you're great

Many years ago, in grade school, I used to try to explain that not eating breakfast or any food before a test kept my brain clearer. NO ONE believed me and still 99% don't, especially the medical community. I think once and for all we have to accept the obvious. Medicine is a business. We get well, they get unemployed so , keeping us as sick as possible without killing us is the name of the game. thanks for the video and I hope it gets through to at least half the people here.

I think the worst advice I have gotten is eat 5 small meals a day also , it’s just basically teaching your body to eat constantly. terrible.

Keto for me will have to be something I do for the rest of my life, I’m good with that because while it’s an adjustment I feel better and sleep better so I’m in it for the long haul. The worst advise I got about loosing weight was just have a cheat day once a week so you won’t feel deprived. Yeah my cheat day was an excuse to go back to eating whatever I wanted and in mass quantities.

I'm with you guys: I don't "exercise" anymore, but I do take walks with my dogs, and go on bike rides when it's a beautiful day, and dance when the music moves me. Adopting the keto lifestyle - and finally understanding that my body is carb intolerant - is what's important and it's something I can maintain the rest of my life without the guilt of the "have to's" that others impose on us.

I know I feel better with fewer carbs and when the carbs I do eat are “better” quality, i.e. empty sugar. I don’t talk a lot about eating low carb because the feedback is not useful. Thanks, ladies! Truth!

Hello from Iowa! I am 62 years old and have been on Keto since October 21, 2020. I went through Health Transitions in our city to get started on the Keto Diet. It was a 9 month commitment. However, my husband and I are still doing Keto. I have lost 86 pounds so far. I started out at 278 pounds and am down to 193. I still want to get to 140 pounds. I had stalled for three months and couldn’t seem to get past 190. I had reached 190 for a few days and then went back up to 194.6. Then I was back up to 197 a few days ago. I realized I wasn’t tracking my carbs or calories very well. So this week I joined Keto Cycle and have been counting my carbs again. With Health Transitions we counted net carbs. With Keto Cycle we count regular carbs. So this one is much stricter yet I don’t get that hungry. I am back down to 193 and hope that I keep losing it this week to get back down to 190. I am looking forward to getting into the low 180’s and then move on down. I fast every day from 7 p.m. to 12 noon or 1 p.m. each day. I have done that ever since we started Keto back in 2020. I have had a few people tell me that if I go off of Keto I will gain all of my weight back. Well duh! I told them Keto can sustain me for the rest of my life and I am so thankful for this way of eating. I have a good friend that keeps telling me I am going to die if I stay on Keto. First she told me that eating fat was going to clog my arteries and I should be on a low fat diet. I told her low fat foods have added sugars in them. I’m not going to go on a low fat diet. Since I got off of the sugar I feel so much better and don’t have a problem with inflammation like I used to. Then just a month ago she told me there was a study that came out that says Keto causes tumors in your body and I should get off of Keto. I can’t seem to make this friend understand that my husband and I have had our every 6 month check up. We both used to be pre-diabetic. Praise the Lord God we are both healed from that. Keto heals type 2 diabetes. We are no longer pre-diabetic. We both used to have back cholesterol. We both have normal cholesterol numbers now. So eating fat has healed our cholesterol. Then there is an article that comes out every year that says Keto is the worst diet to be on. From what I heard from Fox News that article comes out every year. The writers don’t bother to do their homework. False news strikes again giving Keto a bad rap! My hubby has lost nearly 70 pounds. He is still working hard to get the weight off. We both are. Hang in there girls. Thank you so much for your video. I appreciate you both!

Excellent comments! I have experienced pretty much everything you have addressed. For me, someone telling me it is okay for me to have a doughnut for instance, is like telling an alcoholic it's ok to take the occasional drink.

Hey there Emily and Sarah! You two once again are hitting the nail on the head. Really we must lose the weight first so you have the ability and stamina to exercise. The exercise is optional. I think eating keto is very healthy (I'm sure you do too!). Meat, veggies, healthy oils, good fats to satiation. Not obsessing about doughnuts (I tried one and it tasted awful! My taste buds are not interested in that anymore). I was just told by a friend on vacation that I'll just gain it all back if I eat carbs. She couldn't understand that I don't wish to ever eat those bad foods again. Sheesh. She works out and eats and drinks fruity drinks but is heavier. It was totally her way of knocking me down to build herself up. Meh... I'm not even going to be phased by that... I'm just going to keep rolling with my Keto lifestyle and you ladies definitely help make it easier :).

I just got into an argument w someone on DietBet (I didn’t know when I signed up that almost everyone there follows that stupid “container” system. Well someone there swore she knew 4 people who died from keto. I asked for a source. She sent one article about an Indian lady (who had 1 kidney and long standing advanced kidney disease) who died from the kidney disease, and the other “articles” promoting keto- fear were all vegan propaganda 😂 I feel like many people just know so little about keto, and like my mom used to say, a little information is a dangerous thing. Because they think they know… when they are so wrong. Media and propaganda sites always highlight the extremes and they think we are drinking bacon grease smoothies and putting 2 sticks of butter in our coffee . They are shocked (mostly in disbelief) that I eat MORE veg than when I was on the SAD

The #1 worst piece of diet advice used to be: There are no bad foods. Eat everything in moderation.🤗Now the #1 worst is: intuitive eating.🙄

I had a doctor tell me I should lose another 80 pounds, after having lost 180 on keto, and when I was at 17% body fat (so technically lean & healthy), because BMI told him I should weigh 80 pounds less, his eyes apparently didn't function. I'm 6'8" and very broad, and was quite muscular at the time, my skinny ass brother who is 6'5" weighs 40 pounds more than this idiot surgeon told me I should weigh, because of his devotion to pseudo-science calculations.

"Stop going through all of that keto mess! Just take the pill that burns fat and eat what you want...oh and by the way, you need to stop eating all that butter! IT'S GONNA KILL YOU! Use plant based (margarine...a molecule away from plastic) instead!!!" 🙄

On a recent dr visit (after having lost over 100 pounds with Keto which is in my chart) my Dr told me to cut out most animal foods and focus on weight loss. Yup, that's the worst advice. I literally had gone from 262 to 148 eating the foods she told me to avoid. No thank you, I'll continue my lifestyle 😌 🥩

So good to see you two today! There is so much ignorance and judgement regarding obesity. Thanks for shedding a ray of light, hope and reason on every video! I'm 62. I look and feel much younger since I've lost weight with OMAD. I'm a ketovore and loving it. My blood work is stellar, my energy is high and I have great mental clarity. I drink 80 oz of pure water daily so my skin is amazing! My brothers have both had gastric surgery. I'm thankful to have found and adopted this lifestyle. Supports like your channel mean EVERYTHING to my success. We are better together! Hugs from Missouri 🤗💕

My husband and I just talked about this. We both feel that when we wake up and eat breakfast, we just don't get as much done in our day. All I think about is eating if I start my day eating.

Surround yourself with good people! I have just dumped toxic people in my life, Its really hard, but I'm doing it! I'm sick of being sad over them! Same thing, different dig! I don't need it!! Especially family, they think bc we are related they can say anything to me! WRONG!! I left "my know it all, control freak" husband moved away and bought a small farm. I'm getting animals this spring and I'm doing my keto OMAD!! I've heard it all myself!! I have MS and the fasting helps me think clearer and function! I feel absolutely great and without all the stress from my family, I've hit the jackpot!! xo

You hit it! People can NOT help themselves and feel they have to tell you that Keto is unhealthy . I then ask “have your studied it?” Then they regurgitate only a snip it of information they think they know and stand tall thinking they have a mortal high ground cause they are healthy as #$@%. It really has infuriated me, however… this is my journey and my journey only. I feel their bottom dwelling opinion of it means nothing to me anymore. I, over all these years, have learned such horrible habits and now know that i do NOT have to eat breakfast to be healthy, and that eating less meals IS ok. Somehow my body will survive the fewer calories. So thank you for always talking about such real shit and for being so vulnerable with all of us, your keto family. We are all just doing our best to be our best.

I started on keto / low carb lifestyle Sept. 1st , by December 28th I lost 42 pounds, October 2nd I broke my toe and my foot and ankle swelled up, then the end of December again problems with both Ankles got better then Jan. 27 again , my foot dr told me my Uric acid was extremely high , I told him I was eating healthy low carb Keto , he said that probably what is causing it. I disagree, researched the medications I’ve been taking , I have been taking Vascepa 4 a day and one of the side effects is gout. drs should look at the new research and results, just after 3 months on keto I lost 30 pounds my triglycerides dropped 159 points , and my A1C went from 6.7 to 5.9 So I stopped taking the Vascepa it was supposed to help lower cholesterol, I think continuing keto will be better with that.

You two are so right! I've heard all of this "good" advice my entire life. When I ate breakfast, it was donuts, pop tarts, or cereal. Even after being keto this long, I won't do "everything in moderation" because if I eat something high in sugar, I want more and more. Thank you for explaining this so well. This video should be saved and played for every person giving the advice.

Flavored coffee creamers were a really big thing for me. I mean I would go through it like water. 1 year later and 70 lbs weight loss I finally gave myself permission to buy some vanilla creamer I was so excited! Went home made a fresh pot of coffee and after 1 year of black coffee the creamer gagged me. I actually gagged! Hahaha thank you keto.

That makes the PERFECT quote and makes so much sense "You cannot out exercise a terrible diet."👍 Thank you❤

love the new hair girls! Color and cut is so cute! Thanks for sharing, and yes, I for one, have heard these. I've always thought 5-6 meals a day sounds like grazing and only cows should graze, seeeee how fat they are~ yes/sheesh. I agree how keto helps your brain which will benefit our appetite, mood, cravings and it really does solve so many so called dietary woes.

My blood work is 99% better than it was. I definitely feel better. Yes, if you go off, you will gain…I’ve gained 16 back since I went to Vegas…I’m struggling to get this going in the right direction now, but I will. People that say these things, really do not know or understand the struggles, and are completely brain washed by wrong information…to those people, I say, Lump it! 🤬 I know what works for me, and it’s my struggle, and none of their business. I may go off and on occasionally, but that will get me through.

worse piece of advice is "Listen to the government guidelines"

No one listens to me when I say I’m feeling great, and if I say so look better I have in yrs….some when are you gonna stop

A dietian told me I needed carbs as part of my plan in order to be healthy and lose weight. Well I followed her plan and still was pre-diabetic. So I stop and did my own research and started on a low carb plan of action. Glucose and A1C are in check and I also lost 17 lbs. So the moral of the story for me is. If you follow the American Diabetes diet you will get diabetes. Follow a Low carb of keto plan and you will look and feel amazing. I too have had people say "Oh you can't eat that way all your life ". I say to them. " Watch me"

The worst diet advice I received was from a close family member, sadly. She told me I needed to lose "at least a hundred pounds" before she could look at me without feeling bad. Then followed it up 48 hours later with asking why I didn't want a piece of her birthday cake. :-/

Exactly on all of these. Especially gaining it back and more and eating whatever I want in moderation. I can’t eat carbs in moderation. I have never been able to eat carbs in moderation. And no, I don’t need to exercise. All I plan to do is walk a bit. That’s enough. Been there, done that with exercising like crazy. Not going to do it again. I will go for a short walk.

I lost 33 pounds on keto in 4 months. I was technically keto, I felt myself get thinner and did before and after pictures. I have 5 kids and they were all supportive along with my husband. I stopped and the next two months slowly lost 7lbs more. I eat healthy 85% of the time and the other 15% is unhealthy food but keto taught my body to stop when i wasn't hungry anymore as I ate. Family said keto is dangerous but my Renpho scale and results on the app don't lie at all. I was unhealthy before eating carbs like there was no tomorrow. I don't work out at all and I hate to say this but everyone who said this to me had high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. 🙄 I will definitely do keto again if the scale goes back up but I got to my goal weight and more. Keto is amazing and I still enjoy y'all's videos and dishes. 🤗💕

Eat breakfast! In a nutrition course I took 20 years ago, the teacher actually said - out loud - to absolutely eat breakfast. "Even if its a candy bar, that's better than skipping breakfast."

My little sister makes it abundantly clear, that she expects me to fail. My husband says it is not about me, but that she thinks if I fail, it means it’s okay that she didn’t even try.

There is one friend that says, you can't not eat cards, you won't survive! Everytime I tell him that I restrict them and sugar all I get is a tut and 'it will never work'. He now doesn't even comment on the weight that I have lost!!

Worst advice was today my sister said "Keto will cause Health Problems" I have now lost 60 lbs on modified keto, which I plan on being more strict to lose the remaining weight.

You both look great...now that I have said that, Sarah, your sweater is really pretty and I like it (very blingy). I have been told that Keto is unhealthy and I will end up with all sorts of problems like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc (It will if you just eat bacon, sausage, eggs and cheese for sure). When I was strictly counting calories, I always told people that the piece of pie, the doughnut, cake, you name it...was not worth the extra calories for me. I had to really love it to make that sacrifice. Now...I don't feel the least bit deprived or restricted on keto. Exercise for weight loss? No. For your health? Yes. Love your take on "advice".

Hi Ladies, great topic! You both look gorgeous!💕 Who remembers when fat was the enemy?? As long as you ate the fat free version it was ok!!! I remember seeing my friend at the mall eating a giant cup of frozen yogurt 🍦- and it was fine - because it was fat free!!! Finally I can enjoy real cheese and 🧈!

Your honesty makes you best keto channel out there. I love love love how you girls tell it like it is ❤️❤️

Not only are people being condescending when they tell you that you will only gain it back when you "go off Keto", they are just tearing you down. It seems that some people are not "happy" unless they are discouraging other people. I can't understand this at all. You girls are very honest and I agree with all you have said. I am a woman, nearly 74 years old and have done Keto, more or less, since the late 1960's when the Dr., whatever his name was, came out with the Low Carb Diet. I was in my early 20's and struggling with my weight for the first time in my whole life because I was put on birth control pills. The pills changed, of course, my hormones and my metabolism. What a shock it was to find I couldn't just eat the way I always had and I didn't even grow up eating junk. Now, in my 70's it is more important than ever for me to stick with Keto and I love the encouragement I receive from watching you gorgeous women!

First of all I am enjoying your content keeping it coming. Second I personally agree that you don't need to exercise to lose weight however it will help tighten and tone areas that may become saggy due to weight loss. I have been on what I call a "ketolike" lifestyle since 2018 and I've gone from 283# down to 246# from a 3XL to a XL/L depending on the material. Some may say that's not much but for me its good because the inches loss makes me look like its way more wt loss. So I think this will be a lifestyle I'll keep for the duration. 😉

I've lost 45 pounds in 5 months just by going low carb, not keto or carnivore and i havent exercised at all. I'm not saying that people shouldnt exercise because it does benefit your overall health, but you dont HAVE to exercise to lose weight. I will be buying a bicycle in the spring to cruise around my small town with. P.S. You guys curly hair looks really nice. Take care.

I've noticed many comments come after people realize you really are losing weight and sticking to something you believe is your lifestyle. The word jealousy comes to mind more often than not.

I’m 70 years old & love you two. I lost 60 pounds following the keto diet with intermittent fasting, (2 meals/day). Please exercise. Get your heart rate up every day. It’s not just about weight but also cardiovascular fitness which is separate from weight but just as important.

I’m 70 years old and have been doing Keto for a year and I am 56lbs down and do not exercise at all, yes I know I should at least go for a walk, but maybe in the spring I’ll get there.

Been doing mostly keto-ish eating with hubby under doctor supervision for almost 5 years. We have both lost over 70 lbs. Pre-lifestyle change, hubby was on 11 medications for blood pressure, cholesterol and heart issues. He’s down to 2 prescriptions, soon to be none, Lord willing. Things we learned: 1) we are fat because of what we eat and drink, NOT from lack of exercise. Can’t exercise yourself to skinny. 2) eating later than 6p.m. usually puts on weight 3) ignore the FDA, USDA, American Diabetes Association, American Cancer and American Heart Association recommendations. NONE of them want you healthy. 4) drink lots of clean water (we only drink distilled), get some sun, eat whole real foods NOT food products, stay away from processed or white foods (most dairy, rice, pasta, flour, pastries, cakes, bread) Exception is real cheeses and real butter and cream. 5)healthy self = HEAL THYSELF We were known as “the incredible shrinking couple” by our friends. Love your channel…I just found you!

I’m 69 and had been totally addicted to sugar my entire life. I wasn’t always overweight. I had some killer willpower until I didn’t and I gained 30 pounds. Sugar had always been a love hate thing and I got totally sick to death of it. Literally! One of my sons went keto and he is the picture of health. He helped me loose the 30 pounds, but my health is so much better. I don’t think about food. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, no aching knees, etc. I truly believe that sugar cause disease in our bodies. Replace it with something great like steak, bacon, etc!!! Y’all are great. I learn so much. Making your new chaffles a lot.

I don’t go to the gym I don’t feel it’s necessary, some people love it ! I think it might be more of a singles bar with sweaty 🥵 smells but that’s just my opinion. I do feel better when I can get my steps in for the day I think walking it’s great for you .

😂 that's like telling a heroin addict... Moderation is the key...said no one ever.🤦

Totally agree re Moderation ….it doesn’t work if your addicted to carbs !!

I have also been keto for three years. I was in recovery from a hysterectomy for the first six months and hardly moved at all but the weight came off easily compared to when I did a popular diet program and exercised like a fiend in grad school. I love this video! You hit all the points that pushed my buttons in the past. The one I hate most - always cut your meal in half and put half away. It's based on the belief that everyone stays hungry for a full twenty minutes after they finish their portion. After being on keto for one year, I found I often reached a point where I realized I was only eating because I was required to clean my plate as a child. It was so liberating when I realized I really did not have to eat if I was not hungry and I could put away the food when I got full.

"Everything in moderation" is the worst. If you are a food addict, there is no such thing as moderation with some foods

"You should be eating low fat foods if you're trying to lose weight." I don't even bother trying to explain to these people that what is causing this epidemic of obesity isn't the fat we eat, it's the SUGAR added to practically everything we eat except meat and vegetables, and the carbs that turn into even more SUGAR.

I appreciate the work you girls put into researching and presenting information. I agree that losing some weight before embarking on a regular exercise program is a good idea. When you are extremely over weight, the extra stress on muscles and joints can .ake even a simple activity like walking difficult. You can become discouraged very easily. Keep up the good work. You both look healthy and happy.

I've heard all the comments that people have said to you too.... I started low carb in 2003 and tightened it up as the months passed by...I lost 77 pounds and kept it off... This is a way of life that I can't imagine not living now... In 2005 I had so much excess skin that I had a tummy tuck and breast list - not only did I look good, my internal feelings about myself soared. I did it for me and have never regretted it. I do OMAD in early evening, I don't count calories, I eat until I am full. I sleep better, focus better, attitude is better. I didn't exercise either...and still don't..I walk for cardio. Exercise is only 5% of weight loss...so it's not really worth the struggle when you dread doing it. 70 pounds, only 3 pounds was from weight loss..I'll skip it thanks. I'm 63 yrs old, newly retired and feel like I have a whole life in front of me. Also, about every 7 or 8 weeks, I will eat a normal meal, usually going out to a sit down restaurant, not junk food... I eat it moderately, enjoy it and then carry on to my OMAD life... no guilt, no regrets. A nutritionist scolded me about my lifestyle a few yrs back saying I could never continue this life and I am missing many nutritional things that I need..such as an orange, or the benefits of a potato. The medical pros are killing Americans, and the food industry is even worse... Look at Americans...fast food, processed garbage, quick easy reach for bags of chips, fries, pasta... Little 6 yrs old so fat their arms don't rest at their sides...think of 10 yrs from now. I'm healthier at 63 than most 20 yrs olds and my labs prove it. You girls carry on..ignore the advice, keep doing what you are doing... good for you that you found the secret to health and wealth of life. You both look great.

15% is exercise 85% is nutrition.

Bravo ladies! The most difficult thing I have to explain to righteous people who are on a low fat, often high sugar, diet who still stuff themselves with carbs is that they are effectively eating sugar! They just don't understand that carbs are turned into sugar for energy by the body... I'm never giving up Keto, it really works for me and it's simple x

Thank you for busting the myth of 6 meals a day! Blessings

I love you both so oooo much! Always keeping it real and simple. F the haters 😎

I get so pissed at people whoare so jealous they can't even acknowledge a person has lost weight. My oldest sister informed me I would just gain it back. My friend who weughs 100 pounds +, more than me wanted to give me her clothes she was too big for. I'm 5'10" and she's 5'4". I'm like looking at her like she grew horns. She can barely walk due to her weight and uses mobility chair, canes and doesn't move unless she's sitting on a chair that moves, but tells me I eat more than her and she is just as active as I am so she should lose weight too. What's wrong with just saying, "Congratulations, you look great!" I guess I needed to vent.

Hi guys!!! Love your channel. One myth my mom used to tell me is that if I skipped meals I could get an ulcer, because my stomach acid would have nothing to digest. I lived believing that for a few years until last year. This month I finished a 7 day water fast successfully. Lost 10 lbs. and feel great no ulcer. Praise God!! May the Lord bless you. Big hug for you my lovely twins and keep up the good work. I also live close to Chicago.

I love to go for walks & move but doing keto was the key to being down 80#’s. Now walking doesn’t hurt my knees. I just like to walk it makes me feel good. I agree with all you said. I love the meat & broccoli! The other things are tempting but they make you feel empty, meat however is so satisfying! Thank you for addressing these subjects! Blessings! 🤗💞

Oh boy that exercise one gets my blood boiling too! Exercise is for your heart health and to build muscle. You can not out exercise a bad diet. Extensive exercise is not needed at all.

I really love this video because I have heard every single bad piece of advice that you mentioned. The one that really gets under my skin at this point in my journey is when people say are you going to not eat sugar and wheat flour for the rest of your life? But they say it in a way that is like a little condescending and that it's unrealistic. Yes. Yes I will eat this way for the rest of my life! For me personally sugar and wheat flour or super inflammatory, I have no control when I consume them, but it was a struggle to remove them from my life but I'm now 18 plus months free of those ingredients. I'm definitely not strict keto but I will tell you my way of eating in general is very low carb. I think it's not high fat enough to be considered keto. But anyway that doesn't matter. I think when people make comments like that it is from a place of being judgmental and feeling like it's unrealistic. I can still enjoy every single bite of food that I eat, live my life, and love preparing meals without those ingredients! To be honest I don't want to ever go back to the old way.

Oh and as I was thinking about it , eating low fat ?!? , weight watchers is the worst , do you know their prepared meals have about 44 g of carbs ?! wth ! they think by shoving 300 calories on the front and saying low fat that it will sucker you in we’ll it did for me at one point 🤬It’s evil 👿.

I've heard every "piece of advice" you are talking about. UGH...."mind your own business!" But, I don't say that. Now just smile and tell them how much better I feel. I'm eating healthier these days finally incorporating a tasty salad everyday. (Talk about a life changer.) 🙂

I have one 😄 Several people told me you can't eat one egg per day. You should limit it to just 3 eggs per week. Ha ha ha!

I've heard all those things too. Another thing I was told was you can eat all you want just as long as it's carbs and low in fat. Sort of like a reverse Keto diet. Love your videos. You ladies have that great Chicagoland charm....just like me :).

YES! if I eat early in the morning, I'm hungry all day! You are the first people that I've heard say this too, THANK YOU for validating what I know to be true for me! We are all different and have to find our own way to keep ourselves healthy. Thank you for this channel, I found you recently and this is refreshing.

Heard them all, and reacted the same way. A man I knew who preached "moderation" was overweight. Another overweight woman who dissed low carb diets said, 'Oh, but that does something to your metabolism! You gain all the weight and then some when you go off!" Who the hell said it was ok to "go off"? It's a way of life, and the only one that makes sense for many of us. High profit/high carb "food" is shoved into our faces constantly by Big Food and people who buy into their propaganda think low carbers are nuts. We know better.

you're correct...exercise is for strength and toning.. but not weight loss

OMG, you girls NAILED IT on every point you made. I've also lost weight on keto with ZERO exercising. Interesting how eating breakfast used to make you feel - same with me when I was a kid. I'd feel a little nauseous, as well. The point you made about someone saying to you something like, "oh just have a little" of something, it won't hurt. Yeah - that's like telling an alcoholic trying to stay in recovery to "just have a little". Absolutely NOT. It's the same thing. When the carbs metabolize into sugar in our system, it's ADDICTING. The more you eat, the more you CRAVE the carbs. And yeah, LMNT rocks! I look forward to it every single day.

The more I ate, the hungrier I got.

Omg I'm so early!!! I love you guys💜
