OMG! Thank you so much for the shout out to my Facebook and Instagram! I have to answer one question and that is how to make the book. No it is not laser cut. In a photo editing program you edit whatever photo and text you would like and once you save the image, then you import it into a book folding software, which will then give you a printout of where to make your marks and make your cuts at the edge of the page. Everything is hand done from the marking of the book to the cutting and then finally to the folding. It is very time-consuming, but what better way to use your time while watching serious keto content LOL. Thank you for all you do for us!

This video is timely. I went off Keto for 2 days thinking it would be no big deal. I was wrong. I've struggled ever since with really strong cravings, especially at night. It was much easier for me to break from carbs when I first went keto than I'm having now. If I'd had any idea what those 2 days would cost me, I'd never have done it. It so wasn't worth it. And thanks for the info on using your Amazon affiliate links to purchase things that aren't on your list. I had no clue that was possible. Now that I know, I'll be sure to use it whenever we're getting ready to make some Amazon purchase. That's a super easy and convenient way of showing support.

I usually keep Bacon Jerky on hand at all times for cravings. It’s also nice to take on the go when I have to go out of town for one of my kids appointments. I’ll stop and get them something to eat at a drive through and I’ll have my bacon jerky. Having fatty options like that on hand really fill you up and often kill the craving for junk. Congratulations on getting close to 300k and your podcasts make Mondays a little brighter so please don’t go anywhere! ❤

@seriousketo yes! I dehydrate thick cut bacon at 165 degrees for about 6 hours! I have a 10 tray dehydrator and can do 6 to 8 lbs of bacon at a time! It’s so good! I got the idea from Joe and Rachel and you can actually put different sauces on it and make different flavors! I usually like it plain but occasionally use g Hughes hickory bbq sauce for something different! The fat melts in your mouth it’s so good!

@@jessieg4158 Yes, bacon jerky is the most dehydrated food in my 10 tray Cosori dehydrator. So easy to put the slices on the trays and you are done with the prep. Hardly any of the fat is removed so you are getting a full fat experience that is so delicious.

I always tell myself that I need to make a few different business cards to hand out. I've told many about your channel... but I think that a business card with the name, website or link on it would help even more. I just went to 2 local Food Lions today to look for clearance items that are pantry stable. Got in a great conversation with one stocker and found out her husband is doing keto. We are going to connect by email and share information. I love supporting you and other channels by sharing your info!

Hi Steve! 👋🐈 I avoid temptations as best as I can by NOT creating stuff to compensate sweet cravings. The web is FILLED with sites that do just that. In my mind (slowly losing the grey matter) consuming sweet substitutes is simply feeding that desire, thus prolonging/plateauing weight loss. I do exactly what you had mentioned, find something that requires my time and energy, do whatever, and then recalling what I have gone through to get where I am today... which was A LOT! I was not aware of the Amazon Store tip. Look forward to my next purchases 😬😬🐈

Hi Steve, great subjects discussed. The very first video I found of yours was keto mayo. I use it exclusively. Cravings; according some nutritionist say that having a savory breakfast will help with glucose spikes thru the day. I drive truck but have been home last couple weeks on medical leave ( doctor found heart murmur and conducting test). Being home has made it so easy to make healthy keto meals. I make keto chocolate chip cookies or have from Chipmonk. I allow my cookie after dinner for dessert and feel satisfied. No major sweet tooth thru the day. Hopefully will keep habit when return to work.

Every Sunday when I meal prep for the week, I also make a keto dessert for my diabetic BF and some keto snacks for me. This is how I have a "go-to" instead of picking up a bag of doritos or chips at Walgreens when I am done with my shift (I work in the pharmacy). Also, Kwik Trip has keto friendly snacks which work in a pinch...they have cheese and sausage packets and boiled eggs for example. Another tip...when I think mmmm doritos sound good right now...I look at the back where the ingredients are listed. Maltodextrin is a NO GO for me not even mentioning the other ingredients. Congrats on your upcoming 300k!!!!!

Sadly I had no idea because I’ve been suffering with fibromyalgia for years and depressed over my husband dying from cancer in 2022 so I attributed the symptoms to that. I went to the ER feeling like I couldn’t breath and ended up intubated for two weeks. I felt like I went to the ER as one person and woke up another. It was quite a shock because there’s no history of cancer in my family. I know that’s not a guarantee these days. Cancer does suck big time and it takes over your life.
