@@kimberlycooper4170 If I had hair like the twins..I would be dancing down the street. Their hair is gorgeous. Love these girls channel. Down to earth and truthful. Common sense prevails
I was fortunate that in my first two weeks of transitioning to a ketogenic diet that someone suggested that I look at this as a lifestyle change and not just losing weight. I chose keto because I discovered I had insulin resistance(pre- diabetes). I had stalled after losing 45lbs on a Standard American Diet plan. I ate the same caloric content but gradually lowered the carbs and increased the healthy fats. I put my diabetes in remission and shed another 100lbs and have kept it off for over three years. Family friends, doctors, etc... all predicted I would gain it all back because "KETO is not sustainable". I figured out a way for me. Eat food I enjoy to satiety. Over 4.5 + years One day at a Time (TODAY).
I have been on Keto for the last 3 1/2 years, lost 109 pounds, reversed my diabetes. (Diabetes free for the past 2 1/2 years). My A1C is now 4.9 😀 The diabetes was the reason why I started this way of living.This is a lifestyle and your points where dead on. I “stalled “ for over 6 months. Tweaked my carb count and lost the rest of the fat that I wanted. I have maintained now for the past year. Love your videos
I began doing keto approx 3 months ago. My fasting bs is 250 some mornings. It is the liver dumping lots of glucose at dawn, even with so few carbs. I am 28 lbs down. Trying for 150/160. I'm 70 years old. Feeling a bit weak. Ticked that sugar levels are still wonky. How long did it take for diabeties to go away? I am trying to avoid total neuropathy. I think the burning feet inspired me to stay keto more then how I look in clothes. I am not discouraged, just confused
I’m so happy I found your channel! It’s not often one comes across non-pretentious people than admit 1/2 a pound a week weight loss is normal. You two are awesome. I didn’t lose weight the first 4 months of keto. With perseverance, I am 25 pounds lighter. 😁👍🏻
You both would be great therapist, counselors, or life coaches. Your wisdom and commonsense is way beyond your years and what a lot of us never figure put. Recently found your channel and enjoying binge watching.❤
Wonderful info!!! I am 77 years young and have lost 84 pounds ….have not had an ear, throat or sinus infection in 3 years…woohoo and I have maintained within 2 pounds for one and a half years. You are right that it becomes a little difficult to maintain….thank you for all of your ideas and advice…God bless you two lovely ladies!!!💕💕💕
Ladies this particular video is a great service to the rest of us using Leto. I've lost weight but at 75 I've shifted my focus to getting and staying healthy. keep speaking truth, even the hard ones.
I'm 53 years old and was overweight my entire adult life . After I turned 40 I was extremely obese until I started a modified keto diet that my endocrinologist gave me to follow. I want you to know that it was your videos that have helped me keep off my 124 pound weight loss. God bless both of you. I am so grateful for your advice and support
You two are so delightfully candid and helpful. Thank you for sharing your journey so honestly. You have been a wonderful source of support and information as I have embarked on my own 'sort of' keto journey. One of my favorite quotes from you is "we are not perfect but we are real." Thanks again.
I so needed this. Been stuck on a dumb goal weight forever. I’m 50 and healthy as ever. Ketovore has been a way of life for several years. Now my work has to be mental. I’ve got the physical down. Really refreshing video. Thanks!
Love this video! Love the honesty, the lack of pretense that you two bring to the space. Been keto since 2016, and one of the BIGGEST lessons for me has been learning about my relationship with food. I know that my carbs are creeping up when I start getting obsessed with cooking, with recipes, with watching cooking shows, etc. Maybe it's my personal craziness, but carbs definitely have an effect on my brain and thinking. When I'm strict, I barely think about food. I hope at some point, you might do a show about sauces - it's what makes meat sing (for me) especially fish and chicken. Thanks!
My relationship with food was terrible so it was a daily effort to stay on keto long term, which is why I just went to ketovore. I eat mainly meat and throw in low carb veggies when I have the desire. Doing less, being boring with meals, and just over all worrying less about my next meal is what actually helped me.
I really enjoy living a keto lifestyle and feel that I could eat like this for the rest of my life. What I think will change is that when I reach my goal weight, I will then reenter a higher percentage of carbs back into my diet. But so far, I find eating keto is a sustainable lifestyle for me.
I have lost over 100 pounds on keto and have been maintaining for the past 6 months...maintaining is definitely a challenge...once you reach your weight goal you have a tendency to become more lax and I have to struggle with this every single day. I find for me, I still need to keep track of my food intake and weigh frequently.
Yes, maintaining your weightloss is the most important! I have lost over 100 pounds at least 4 times in my life to only regain it. I would have loved to have known about keto 40 years ago. So far I am being successful with my 65 pound weight loss, but I still have another 50 to go. Definitely plan on keeping it off this time since I have found this new life style.
Thank you. I was always a pudgy kid that grew into an obese adult. In the last twelve years, I lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off but I was still in the 'overweight' category with my BMI. I was diagnosed with diabetes 3 months ago so I knew I needed to change my way of eating and have adopted a low carb/keto lifestyle. You two have made a huge difference to my mindset regarding making the change. Your point about eating for entertainment instead of for fuel really resonated with me personally. I always thought I was an emotional eater but never put together my need for food to be exciting and entertaining until now. When I'd go out for dinner in the past, I put more emphasis on the food providing a level of excitement as opposed to the company and experience. I was always indecisive about where and what to eat because I wanted to experience the excitement of something new and different and not eat the same 'boring' thing again. The same for cooking at home. You really did make me examine my relationship with food with your point so thank you again. I'm now 12 kg down and have put my diabetes into remission in only 3 months of adopting this lifestyle. My hba1c was ridiculously high on diagnosis so to get to this point in 3 months really says a lot about how beneficial low carb is for health.
You guys are so beautiful. I love your ying yang conversation. I have a sister 11 months younger and I totally understand the dynamics of a sibling relationship. I have never noticed your hair line or thought anything other than admiration for having the courage to put your selves out there to help people like me. Thank you so much 🙂 ❤️
You both are beautiful and have nothing to feel bad about, There are so many people that find it easy to judge others when sitting in front of a computer. Do not let other define you, you are BEAUTIFUL!!!
This was such an honest and valuable conversation! Thank you to the both of you, for starting the discussion about the things so many of us needed to hear! Stay blessed!💞☺
#5 hit me right. I have been 3 lbs from my “goal weight” for 3 months. I feel good and look good. Most importantly, I’ve stayed at this weight. Love your channel!
This was great. Thank you. It’s so true. Everything you said. One “telling “ thought I’ve had in the past, after I lost weight then regained it was, “I wish I had been happy NOT hitting my goal weight “. Meaning I did not get to my goal, I was at my lowest weight of my adult weight and was actually happily living life, but regained and realized that non-goal weight was perfectly fine.
I love all the points you talked about. I have had a similar Keto journey and found that as long as I focus on my original reasons for starting Keto... which are health reasons... then I do fine. As soon as I focus on beauty, I fail... pride comes before a fall. Also, you are correct about looking older when I get too thin. I am 65 and if I am on the higher end of my normal weight range, I look better. As long as my blood sugar and blood pressure stays normal, I am happy.
I used to be 475 and have maintained 325-330 for over 5 years and my body really seems happy there even though I wanted to get to 250. Thank you so much for number 5. I need to meditate on this one!
Bravo 👏🏼 to anyone courageous enough to start and maintain a RUclips channel…without comments turned off. 😂 Hopefully you eventually realize that social media has allowed everyone to express THEIR personal opinions. You are enjoyable, informative and perfectly human in your videos. Thank you and keep it up! ❤️
I would consider us very lucky with our viewers and comments section compared to a lot of other channels, we get some really lovely comments here! Some bad ones but hey, we aren’t everyone’s cup of tea 🤪-Em
I love how real you guys are! And truth about finding insecurities you didn’t know were even there through RUclips! I have a stuffy nose a lot and I didn’t even realize I will occasionally open and close my mouth to breathe…I look like a fish in fast forward sometimes 😂
Hey ladies. I recently found your channel and have enjoyed your transparency on the journey. As someone who has had some success with keto and then fallen off but then tried again, saying that its ok to fail is so necessary. Too many of us women are perfectionists and give up or just don’t have realistic expectations for the entire process. It is wonderful how real you are and Sara I just want to tell you, I used to feel the same way about wearing shorts. Show off those legs while they’re young and healthy! You both are very brave to share your stories so forget the people hiding on their computers who would never put it all out there for the world to see. Bless you both 💕💕
I didn't wear shorts for 50 years! (I'm 66.) Jen, the Realfluencer, on RUclips (a midsize curvy lady,) gave me the courage to try. Now I wear them, and dresses! Now I realized I don't see many perfect legs out there!
Hey guys, I needed to hear this today! I'm on month 2 of keto, (this time). I've lost 17 lbs, and several pants sizes. I've been toying with a really low goal weight. But, what you're saying makes sense. Thanks!
I agree with you ! Maintenance is almost harder than getting the weight off! I’m 65 years old and I have dieted most of my life and every time I lose weight I put it back on + more. And the harder it is to get it off as you get older! I have lost just under 20 pounds since May and it has been the hardest time I’ve ever had! Hopefully I will be able to maintain my weight loss this time without falling off the wagon again.
Love your content! Truth spoken here. Had to laugh about not listening to random people on the internet. 😂 but I agree. You two always resonate with me, and I am just some old woman. Keto on, however you do it peeps. 💜
I just want my food to taste good. I am loving Factor for this. The add-ons are awesome too. I don’t normally make deserts, but the options on factor are really nice for a treat. And yup, I went several weeks not losing or losing only a pound or less. Then last week I dropped 8.2 pounds. I don’t stress over it anymore. I’m just learning to enjoy the journey and incorporating it enough so it is my normal and I don’t go back to where I was previously. Thanks for your content, it’s so honest and fun.
Turning 70and really happy for the 21 lbs. I’ve lost in 5 months. Being a slow poke works for me, and I’m realizing that when I finally reach goal weight, it will have to continue in order to keep it off. And thanks for the honest feedback about how hard it can be. It feels very supportive to have you girls telling us that failure is part of the process. Get used to it! Wishing you both late happy birthdays and a great new year of inspired RUclips’s.
Thank you 💕😘 you're both amazing and I truly appreciate your posts. I'm 62 and have had a weight problem my whole life. I'm 5'2" and was 307lbs and have lost 70 lbs over the past year on Keto and fell off it and gained 14lbs back and got so down on myself and almost gave up, until I came across your site. Seriously, you have given me the incentive to not give up. God bless and thank you both. Have an amazing day!
I'm 83 and have been over weight since 1999..Where has your insight been ... I've needed your ideas for years!! I've been on Atkins, WW and now Keto for three years. BUT! last year I fell off the wagon and started eating real BREAD! Then potatoes, then sandwiches then added back fat and 15 pounds...THEN I have found you two. THANK GOD! I love your attitude and yes I will discard my goal of ever seeing myself at 143 pounds. I started at 250 then with Keto(dirty) I lost 30 pounds and got so discouraged I started eating carb foods and gained 15lbs. But shoot if all I can lose with Keto for life is 30 lbs.. I'm going to be happy and get on with the rest of my life. THANK YOU TWO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
Yes. Losing much weight made me look older. But, I have neuropathy in my feet and an extra 5 or 10 pounds brings more pain. I have to weigh youthful looks vs less pain. I
Thank you. I recently started keto but I went in with a mindset of " no extremes." Cause I know that bread happens. Its inevitable. I had a slice of bread the first week. And I didn't feel bad or quit. I just got back to the focus of better health and energy. Because I have lost and gained the same 50 lbs for years. I will not be weighing myself, because at this point its not important. Thanks again. P.s. you both have gorgeous hair
So true, I lost 58 lbs and it took me to years and thats fine. I had to make it a life style and it's working great. I'm 67 and I didn't want to be on meds. I Probably have another 20 pounds to lose but I'll get there but it's fine I feel so much better. I really appreciate you guys, you're so cute and you do such a good job, you help encourage us so much.
I just found your channel and love how real you both are. I've lost 71 pounds eating low-carb and love it. It's the only way of eating that kills my sweet tooth and hunger. One question I cringe at being asked about my weight loss is, "How long did it take you to lose the weight?" Like you two, I've been on and off low-carb diets since I was very young. I don't have a start date. I do well for a while, stress comes in and I gain some or all of it back and then hop back on and lose that and more, maintain for a while, etc... I know they want to hear, "Oh, I melted it all off in just 7 months!" But weight loss is not linear and it's so hard to make people get that. Anyway, you two have a new subscriber!
I just love the dynamic between the two of you. I’m not even doing keto but I watch your channel. You might convince me tho!! I love the point you made about “ideal weight”. I think most people don’t even think about what that number really means and what it is they really want. I just want to be healthy, able to do activities and buy regular (not plus) size clothes so I can find clothes more easily.
It took quite a while for me to fix my mindset- falling off the wagon used to be a week long binge, now, after a few years of doing mostly clean keto, I have better control and realize that one slip, doesn’t have to mean throwing the whole thing down the drain...I occasionally eat some junk, but have been able to hop right back on the wagon...lost 70 lbs overall and am maintaining...
Hi I just found your channel and have subscribed because I like how the two of you think and express your thoughts. Thank you for being real !! I struggle with Weight problems, it's never ending ! I've been eating Keto style for 3 years and I must say, it gets boring, so falling off the Keto wagon is a real thing. I have to keep reminding myself that my health is the number one thing that will keep me living the life style I enjoy and if I don't make food my medicine, then medicine will be my food, yuk! I don't want to live into my old age by popping pills and doctor visits. That is definitely not fun and terribly boring.
This is the most HONEST and REALISTIC conversation I have EVER heard about weight loss even from all the Doctors (really chiropractors) on RUclips. Thank you and keep it up. Joanie from Northern California
I love that you said it takes more to maintain your weight than to lose it! SO TRUE! I've lost 150 lbs kept it off 5 YEARS btw im 40 yrs old! Have not lost more in almost a year.. I would like to but im living my lifestyle happily! Thank you for sharing these honest tips! Stay beautiful❤😘
I have never been actually thin. I have been overweight to obese from the age of 7 or 8. I’ve never felt comfortable when asked what my goal weight is because I’ve never been at a “normal” weight. But once when I was in my thirties, I saw a photo of myself at age 21 and was shocked at how thin I looked. I literally said, “When was I ever that thin?” I distinctly remember feeling fat when that photo was taken. So what Emily says about that truly resonates.
Happy birthday, ladies! Thank you for another fantastic video! It's difficult enough to crack the keto code to achieve optimum weight loss without other RUclips channels telling you that you're ketoing wrong. (You know you're in trouble when the keto stall is as well known as the keto diet itself.) I love your reasonable, realistic approach. A million years ago when I was young, I did the Adkins diet. It wasn't sustainable for me then. What makes the keto lifestyle sustainable now is you. You and other RUclipsrs bravely share your stories to let us know that we can do this; you discover recipes and products to help us stay on the keto plan; and you push through the social media noise to offer insights into what really matters. Thank you so very much! P.S. It's lovely when Charlie, Ollie and Henri make an appearance!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing keto faithfully for the past 5 months. Looking at the scale is honestly the most depressing thing I can do. I had an eating disorder in my teens and now losing weight is next to impossible for me. The thought of what I "should" weigh seems like such a lofty goal at this point. I really appreciate you putting this video out. I haven't "weighed in" for months, but clothes fit better (or don't fit at all any more!) so I know something is working. I am now subbed to your channel!
Some people really do feel much better when they stop weighing themselves! How your clothes fit is a great metric to go by! Thank you so much for subscribing Michelle! We appreciate it!! -Em
Another thing that I would add to that list is how to deal or prepare with the anxiety that it comes when your buddy request carbs or sweets. In my experience it took me time to manage that and understand what is behind the anxiety and be compassionate with myself and in that way is more sustainable to keep going after a bad eating day.
Very frank and honest chat. Thanks. I so agree with you. Please don't let anyone steal your strength, your peace and your positivity. I'm on my journey too.
This video just sums up exactly why I was drawn to your channel and is the only Keto one I follow these days. You both approach Keto as a lifestyle and in a relaxed, humane, down to earth kind of way that makes the journey so much more bearable and sustainable! And apparently we are all 37 now, so that's fun to have peers as such great examples! Happy Birthday to you both!
Girls, thanks for all the many unspoken truths! I too have been struggling for more than 50 years. It is so much easier now with all the products available. I find eben during plateus, inches come off. Thanks again🥰
I hate to hear you both feel insecure because of having a Y-tube channel! You both are gorgeous and smart with the most amazing humor! I feel so good after watching your channel! It feels like you are talking just to me with the issues that I can relate to! There will always be those miserable people on social media putting others down just so they can feel good about themselves! You both should be so proud of all your accomplishments!! ❤️
I think mostly people point things out trying to be helpful, but when people point things out that we didn’t notice before… that’s when the insecurities start 🤣-Em
Your videos resonate with me so much! I wish I had tackled all of the issues earlier in my life. I've lost a bunch of weight twice and gained it all back. This time it's for the long term! I'm 58, thank you ladies!!!
And don’t get discouraged. I was right there at first counting carbs macros everything. It was exhausting. I used to be a size 4 now a 16. Just gave up on my lifelong exercise junkie. But a new path and trying again. You two are inspirational.
I remember when I was younger(61 now) and I thought if only I lost weight or was taller(4’11) or if, if …. Fill in the blanks, my life would be perfect and I would be happy. Hindsight, I was pretty darn awesome back then! I wasted my time on other people’s opinions, the media, magazines and peer pressure. On a side note, you are both beautiful, intelligent ladies. You are both perfect the way you are 🥰 it’s great when you know who you are and how to live! Enjoy life, it’s a short travel on earth 💕
I started keto about 2 years ago, I was 212 diagnosed with type II diabetes, high blood pressure and of course high cholesterol since now we know cholesterol is not a big factor. I now hover at 180, and my goal weight was 175. Now 'they' have determined that my weight should be 145 to 165, at which point I would be very skinny. Being a type II diabetic I will have to be keto for 98% of my life if I want to live a long and happy one. It's good you two started early to stave off metabolic syndrome, I did Atkins in the 90's but the scare of 'damaging one's kidneys' scared me off it, but I did do it occasionally just to drop off some weight. Now, it's been proven eating mostly fatty meat DOES NOT hurt ones kidneys at ALL, I am comfortable with keto. If anyone is a diabetic of any kind going keto is the only healthy path to take. If one loves their carbs and can't do keto, then prepare for a shortened, painful life. Thanks keto twins.
You guys are so right ON! I am 66 and been keto for 5 yrs. I have lost over 100 lbs 3 times, (usually gained back within 2 yrs) and many many lbs in-between, since I was 5 yrs old. This is the first time that I have been able to maintain my weight loss. I finally figured out that this had to be a LifeStyle not a diet. I can't even image going back to the way I used to eat. Thank you for your videos, they keep me on track!
We are right there with you Debbie, we have also gained hundreds of pounds over the years after losing it too. Maintenance is the hardest part of the whole journey and it never ends. It should be congratulated! -Em
I watch a lot of informational keto videos (I'm pretty new to it) and yours are the only ones that don't make me feel like I'm never going to get this right. I know, for me, that crazy strict keto is not going to work because I will eventually get discouraged and give up. I'm not in a hurry to lose weight, even 5 or 10 pounds a month is fine with me. You guys give me encouragement when I need it.
I had to do 10 years of emotional work to be able to see food as just sustenance. Now my body tells me clearly what to eat and how much. It's been a hard journey, but I'm happy where I'm at now. Thanks for great content!
Thank you for being so real and speaking up I've been doing keto for 4 years you are 100% correct on everything that you have said and most people don't want to talk about this it's not about winning or losing it's about continuing the race I've never really had a cheat but everything comes in waves sometimes I do strict sometimes I'm not so strict sometimes I'm losing lots of weight other times I'm just maintaining never anything is linear
I find myself about every 4 weeks or so I have to have Hardee's double cheese burgers. Deal $7 for 2. Then I'll be fine. Will gain 5# lose it and then lose more. Began at 260d in Feb. Now maintaining 203-198. I'm happy with that too. Feel good at 68, can get on the floor with granddaughters. Climb stairs without puffing. I'm thankful to you Both Sarah and Emily. Your words and podcasts help alot. I'm in love with baking sweets. I'll take them over anything. But I do eat well when my husband is home 5 meals a week. Thank you both.
I think it's so crucial to remind yourself why...on those days where it's boring it's a good reminder why. For your kids, so you can have a fulfilling life, so you can be around for your loved ones. We ve become as a society obsessed with making ourselves happy. Sometimes we aren't doing to be satisfied, and that's ok. It's ok to make decisions because you know it's right for you to be healthy.
OMG! WHO DOES THAT??!! Who says ugly stuff to you girls??!! Lemme at em!! LOL! Just like when my twins were little, the momma bear in me kicks in when I hear stuff like that! You’re right, it IS the internet in general, people (thankfully not all people!) can be so thoughtless and sometimes intentionally cruel, but it truly IS their own insecurities glaring through! Well thankfully you two have walked right past all that and will continue to. I appreciate your honesty about this lifestyle so much. I have been on keto for a few months now and I have to say it has NOT been the raging success I wanted it to be early on. I am trying to figure out why and especially bc my S-I-L went on it with me and he has lost a good amount. But of course he is 35 years younger than I am and has no physical challenges of which I have many! In three months I have only lost 20 and he has lost nearly double that. And we eat almost exactly the same things (which I suppose y’all would label “relaxed” keto-under 20 net carbs)!!! But I think like you have said before, everyone is different and has different reactions (now I can see that blatantly), i need to be a little more strict with the total carbs (and somewhat) calories whereas he can be a little more relaxed with his. This IS my lifestyle now and I am committed to maintaining it. I have to. My physical challenges seemed almost insurmountable, but I KNOW being on this has helped give me the courage and stamina to make the 3-state journey to see my grandson after his surgery, something I haven’t done since I had my wreck 30 months ago! But as y’all said, it has to be something that is going to be sustainable, and “strict” keto is NOT going to be sustainable for me, so slow it is I guess. I have shunned the wheats and sugars almost completely in the last 3 months and will continue to strive for that. I try to fill myself with mainly meat eggs and cheese as well as the allowed veggies, with only occasional “allowed” desserts (which I was totally overdoing at the beginning) so hopefully that will keep me in that weight loss mode, even if it IS slow as molasses in January! Thank you ladies for being a huge part of keeping me motivated!!
Many people fail a dozen times, you say, and you are right, and not just about Keto. This is also true for quitting smoking, but if you keep at it, it becomes a new lifestyle. Similarly, I have been doing keto for more than three years and frequently go off the wagon, but overall, I have been able to keep about 20 pounds off, and more importantly, don't have the constant pain in my neck and hip joint I used to have every day. That in itself is a great thing. Also my labs, except LDL, , are sooo much better. Think long term. like the rest of your life, for lasting success.
There is nothing wrong with your hairline and the two of you are adorable. I was nodding my head through the entire video. I once lost ONE pound in a month...just one. But I got curious and grabbed my tape measure. I had lost 10.5 inches over my entire body. I like to tell people that losing "keto pounds" is different than "low fat" pounds. It's like you're finally giving your body the building blocks it needs and so it's rearranging things. Lots of work going on in there. Also, just to prove that keto loss is much different than low-fat loss, I am 5'3" and weighed 150 pounds...I wore a size 6 and was almost into a 4. And then I failed at Keto...but now I'm back and it's a definite lifestyle and I will do this for the rest of my life. I feel much better. Sorry to be so long-winded, but it's just something I believe in and it encourages so many to know that the scale just can't understand us.
It took a while before I could watch your videos. I thought "how could those beautiful, yuppie girls know how it feels to be burdened with body issues! " I'm so glad I didn't let this rob me of trying you out. Much gratitude for your sharing and being so beautiful inside and out. Many thanks
My goal is 100 lbs loss, that will take me from 268 to 168. At 5'2 I know 168 will still be to much for my height. I am so far at a 47 lb loss since May. I plan to meet with my health care provider when I make it to the 100 lbs loss and discuss what would be a reasonable maintainable weight for me and my health. When I started this journey I started with a mind set of life style change not diet. I knew I had to find an easy healthy way of eating and a easy flexible way to add exercise into my life. At this point I can easily see myself continuing on this way for life. It took me many, many years, diets, exercise plans, and to many failures to count to know what does not work for me. It took me a while but I finally found what works for me. I appreciate all you ladies share with us. I have taken much inspiration from you two.
I appreciate you telling us about the reality of how this lifestyle actually affects you in real life. It is very helpful to me, personally. I am about 1 month along on my very low carb lifestyle journey. Thanks Keto Twins.
Just now watching this video. I started Keto 4 months ago because my diabetes was getting worse and worse. Since starting, I have gone off one of my meds. Reduced the amount of the insulin I inject and have lost 25 pounds. I have 80 more pounds to lose and I hope to be off most of my meds and dramatically reduce if not eliminate insulin shots. Your videos are informative and entertaining. I know that I am going to have to be on keto forever to control my blood sugar and my weight. So, I’ll be hanging with you guys for a long time. Thanks for making these videos. They are a huge help. P.S. Your dog is adorable!!

Instead of talking about people, I'd rather talk about the dog's hair. The dog's head hair looks hilarious.
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, well said Beyonce.
I think the girls are so well adjusted that the petty remarks no longer have an impact. Bravo
@@kimberlycooper4170 If I had hair like the twins..I would be dancing down the street. Their hair is gorgeous. Love these girls channel. Down to earth and truthful. Common sense prevails
I was fortunate that in my first two weeks of transitioning to a ketogenic diet that someone suggested that I look at this as a lifestyle change and not just losing weight. I chose keto because I discovered I had insulin resistance(pre- diabetes). I had stalled after losing 45lbs on a Standard American Diet plan. I ate the same caloric content but gradually lowered the carbs and increased the healthy fats. I put my diabetes in remission and shed another 100lbs and have kept it off for over three years. Family friends, doctors, etc... all predicted I would gain it all back because "KETO is not sustainable". I figured out a way for me. Eat food I enjoy to satiety. Over 4.5 + years One day at a Time (TODAY).
I have been on Keto for the last 3 1/2 years, lost 109 pounds, reversed my diabetes. (Diabetes free for the past 2 1/2 years). My A1C is now 4.9 😀 The diabetes was the reason why I started this way of living.This is a lifestyle and your points where dead on. I “stalled “ for over 6 months. Tweaked my carb count and lost the rest of the fat that I wanted. I have maintained now for the past year. Love your videos
So happy to hear about your success Sylvia! Yay! -em
Wow. Congratulations
I began doing keto approx 3 months ago. My fasting bs is 250 some mornings. It is the liver dumping lots of glucose at dawn, even with so few carbs. I am 28 lbs down. Trying for 150/160. I'm 70 years old. Feeling a bit weak. Ticked that sugar levels are still wonky. How long did it take for diabeties to go away? I am trying to avoid total neuropathy. I think the burning feet inspired me to stay keto more then how I look in clothes. I am not discouraged, just confused
I’m so happy I found your channel! It’s not often one comes across non-pretentious people than admit 1/2 a pound a week weight loss is normal. You two are awesome. I didn’t lose weight the first 4 months of keto. With perseverance, I am 25 pounds lighter. 😁👍🏻
You both would be great therapist, counselors, or life coaches. Your wisdom and commonsense is way beyond your years and what a lot of us never figure put. Recently found your channel and enjoying binge watching.❤
Wonderful info!!! I am 77 years young and have lost 84 pounds ….have not had an ear, throat or sinus infection in 3 years…woohoo and I have maintained within 2 pounds for one and a half years. You are right that it becomes a little difficult to maintain….thank you for all of your ideas and advice…God bless you two lovely ladies!!!💕💕💕
It is like you are holding an adorable gentleman werewolf 😂
LOL henri is quite a sleepy werewolf 🤣🐶-Em
Ah! I was just sitting here trying to figure out what the dog reminds me of- That is the perfect description! 😂
Looks like....count werewolf
That adorable dog looks like. "count werewolf " bahahaha
Ladies this particular video is a great service to the rest of us using Leto. I've lost weight but at 75 I've shifted my focus to getting and staying healthy. keep speaking truth, even the hard ones.
Me too at 70.
Great suggestions. There is so much more to weight loss than just losing weight.
I'm 53 years old and was overweight my entire adult life . After I turned 40 I was extremely obese until I started a modified keto diet that my endocrinologist gave me to follow. I want you to know that it was your videos that have helped me keep off my 124 pound weight loss. God bless both of you. I am so grateful for your advice and support
You two are so delightfully candid and helpful. Thank you for sharing your journey so honestly. You have been a wonderful source of support and information as I have embarked on my own 'sort of' keto journey. One of my favorite quotes from you is "we are not perfect but we are real." Thanks again.
Thanks so much Sue!! We appreciate your kind words! -Em
I so needed this. Been stuck on a dumb goal weight forever. I’m 50 and healthy as ever. Ketovore has been a way of life for several years. Now my work has to be mental. I’ve got the physical down. Really refreshing video. Thanks!
Love this video! Love the honesty, the lack of pretense that you two bring to the space. Been keto since 2016, and one of the BIGGEST lessons for me has been learning about my relationship with food. I know that my carbs are creeping up when I start getting obsessed with cooking, with recipes, with watching cooking shows, etc. Maybe it's my personal craziness, but carbs definitely have an effect on my brain and thinking. When I'm strict, I barely think about food. I hope at some point, you might do a show about sauces - it's what makes meat sing (for me) especially fish and chicken. Thanks!
Carbs definitely clouded our thinking for years, you aren’t alone at all! -Em
My relationship with food was terrible so it was a daily effort to stay on keto long term, which is why I just went to ketovore. I eat mainly meat and throw in low carb veggies when I have the desire. Doing less, being boring with meals, and just over all worrying less about my next meal is what actually helped me.
I really enjoy living a keto lifestyle and feel that I could eat like this for the rest of my life. What I think will change is that when I reach my goal weight, I will then reenter a higher percentage of carbs back into my diet. But so far, I find eating keto is a sustainable lifestyle for me.
I hear of many people adding some carbs back in with great success! -Em
I loved this video. It's all so true, but sometimes we need to hear someone say it out loud.
I have lost over 100 pounds on keto and have been maintaining for the past 6 months...maintaining is definitely a challenge...once you reach your weight goal you have a tendency to become more lax and I have to struggle with this every single day. I find for me, I still need to keep track of my food intake and weigh frequently.
Maintenance is the hardest part, I’ve failed more times than I could count over the last 2 decades! -Em
Same here. I reached my goal wieght and maintaining is challenging.
Same with the weighing... if I don't weigh daily to see I gain weight, so much weight
Yes, maintaining your weightloss is the most important! I have lost over 100 pounds at least 4 times in my life to only regain it. I would have loved to have known about keto 40 years ago. So far I am being successful with my 65 pound weight loss, but I still have another 50 to go. Definitely plan on keeping it off this time since I have found this new life style.
Love to hear that!!! -Em
Thank you. I was always a pudgy kid that grew into an obese adult. In the last twelve years, I lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off but I was still in the 'overweight' category with my BMI. I was diagnosed with diabetes 3 months ago so I knew I needed to change my way of eating and have adopted a low carb/keto lifestyle. You two have made a huge difference to my mindset regarding making the change. Your point about eating for entertainment instead of for fuel really resonated with me personally. I always thought I was an emotional eater but never put together my need for food to be exciting and entertaining until now. When I'd go out for dinner in the past, I put more emphasis on the food providing a level of excitement as opposed to the company and experience. I was always indecisive about where and what to eat because I wanted to experience the excitement of something new and different and not eat the same 'boring' thing again. The same for cooking at home. You really did make me examine my relationship with food with your point so thank you again. I'm now 12 kg down and have put my diabetes into remission in only 3 months of adopting this lifestyle. My hba1c was ridiculously high on diagnosis so to get to this point in 3 months really says a lot about how beneficial low carb is for health.
I was never able to stick to keto longer than a few days until I found your channel. Love and appreciate you both!💖
Awww that means so much to us Maggie, thank you! Proud of you!! -Em
You guys are so beautiful. I love your ying yang conversation. I have a sister 11 months younger and I totally understand the dynamics of a sibling relationship. I have never noticed your hair line or thought anything other than admiration for having the courage to put your selves out there to help people like me. Thank you so much 🙂 ❤️
You both are beautiful and have nothing to feel bad about, There are so many people that find it easy to judge others when sitting in front of a computer. Do not let other define you, you are BEAUTIFUL!!!
aww thanks Denise! We get so many wonderful comments I would say 99.9% of most comments are lovely! -Em
This was such an honest and valuable conversation! Thank you to the both of you, for starting the discussion about the things so many of us needed to hear! Stay blessed!💞☺
#5 hit me right. I have been 3 lbs from my “goal weight” for 3 months. I feel good and look good. Most importantly, I’ve stayed at this weight. Love your channel!
Maintaining is a huge win! ❤️❤️ -Sarah
This was great. Thank you. It’s so true. Everything you said.
One “telling “ thought I’ve had in the past, after I lost weight then regained it was, “I wish I had been happy NOT hitting my goal weight “. Meaning I did not get to my goal, I was at my lowest weight of my adult weight and was actually happily living life, but regained and realized that non-goal weight was perfectly fine.
The two of you should be on national TV. Incredible insight to the real weight loss & dieting.
🤗🤗 Aw thank you Monica! -Em
I love all the points you talked about. I have had a similar Keto journey and found that as long as I focus on my original reasons for starting Keto... which are health reasons... then I do fine. As soon as I focus on beauty, I fail... pride comes before a fall. Also, you are correct about looking older when I get too thin. I am 65 and if I am on the higher end of my normal weight range, I look better. As long as my blood sugar and blood pressure stays normal, I am happy.
I have slowly come to that realization myself, I think is a part of me maturing, that it’s not about looks, it’s about having a healthier life! -Em
I used to be 475 and have maintained 325-330 for over 5 years and my body really seems happy there even though I wanted to get to 250. Thank you so much for number 5. I need to meditate on this one!
Bravo 👏🏼 to anyone courageous enough to start and maintain a RUclips channel…without comments turned off. 😂 Hopefully you eventually realize that social media has allowed everyone to express THEIR personal opinions.
You are enjoyable, informative and perfectly human in your videos. Thank you and keep it up! ❤️
I would consider us very lucky with our viewers and comments section compared to a lot of other channels, we get some really lovely comments here! Some bad ones but hey, we aren’t everyone’s cup of tea 🤪-Em
I love how real you guys are! And truth about finding insecurities you didn’t know were even there through RUclips! I have a stuffy nose a lot and I didn’t even realize I will occasionally open and close my mouth to breathe…I look like a fish in fast forward sometimes 😂
Hey ladies. I recently found your channel and have enjoyed your transparency on the journey. As someone who has had some success with keto and then fallen off but then tried again, saying that its ok to fail is so necessary. Too many of us women are perfectionists and give up or just don’t have realistic expectations for the entire process. It is wonderful how real you are and Sara I just want to tell you, I used to feel the same way about wearing shorts. Show off those legs while they’re young and healthy! You both are very brave to share your stories so forget the people hiding on their computers who would never put it all out there for the world to see. Bless you both 💕💕
Thank you so much! Someday we will wear shorts hopefully 🤗🤣-Em
I didn't wear shorts for 50 years! (I'm 66.) Jen, the Realfluencer, on RUclips (a midsize curvy lady,) gave me the courage to try. Now I wear them, and dresses! Now I realized I don't see many perfect legs out there!
Hey guys,
I needed to hear this today! I'm on month 2 of keto, (this time). I've lost 17 lbs, and several pants sizes. I've been toying with a really low goal weight. But, what you're saying makes sense. Thanks!
That’s amazing to lose 17 lbs so far! Yay!! -Em
I agree with you ! Maintenance is almost harder than getting the weight off! I’m 65 years old and I have dieted most of my life and every time I lose weight I put it back on + more. And the harder it is to get it off as you get older! I have lost just under 20 pounds since May and it has been the hardest time I’ve ever had! Hopefully I will be able to maintain my weight loss this time without falling off the wagon again.
Love your content! Truth spoken here. Had to laugh about not listening to random people on the internet. 😂 but I agree. You two always resonate with me, and I am just some old woman. Keto on, however you do it peeps. 💜
You’d be surprised, most of our audience is 40-65+! I love it actually, we have a really lovely and kind community! -Em
I just want my food to taste good. I am loving Factor for this. The add-ons are awesome too. I don’t normally make deserts, but the options on factor are really nice for a treat. And yup, I went several weeks not losing or losing only a pound or less. Then last week I dropped 8.2 pounds. I don’t stress over it anymore. I’m just learning to enjoy the journey and incorporating it enough so it is my normal and I don’t go back to where I was previously. Thanks for your content, it’s so honest and fun.
Turning 70and really happy for the 21 lbs. I’ve lost in 5 months. Being a slow poke works for me, and I’m realizing that when I finally reach goal weight, it will have to continue in order to keep it off. And thanks for the honest feedback about how hard it can be. It feels very supportive to have you girls telling us that failure is part of the process. Get used to it! Wishing you both late happy birthdays and a great new year of inspired RUclips’s.
Wowww Charlotte! That’s amazing!! -Em
How in the world can I pay attention to what you ladies are saying while you are holding that adorable, precious puppy?!! He/she is SO precious!
🐶🐶❤️❤️
Thank you 💕😘 you're both amazing and I truly appreciate your posts. I'm 62 and have had a weight problem my whole life. I'm 5'2" and was 307lbs and have lost 70 lbs over the past year on Keto and fell off it and gained 14lbs back and got so down on myself and almost gave up, until I came across your site. Seriously, you have given me the incentive to not give up. God bless and thank you both. Have an amazing day!
Maintaining is so underestimated and underrated, great message, Thank you
Henri 🐶 you stole the show. I listened to your smart mom and auntie while staring at your adorableness ❤️.
🐶❤️🐶❤️
Super impressed with your journey and results. It was hard work and you were both successful. Way to go! Enjoy your videos.
You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me since I started my keto journey 💗💗
Thank you so much 🙏🏼💕
Aw 🤗 thank you! That means a lot to us! -Sarah
You are right. Keeping off the weight is so much more successful than gaining and losing.
I'm 83 and have been over weight since 1999..Where has your insight been ... I've needed your ideas for years!! I've been on Atkins, WW and now Keto for three years. BUT! last year I fell off the wagon and started eating real BREAD! Then potatoes, then sandwiches then added back fat and 15 pounds...THEN I have found you two. THANK GOD! I love your attitude and yes I will discard my goal of ever seeing myself at 143 pounds. I started at 250 then with Keto(dirty) I lost 30 pounds and got so discouraged I started eating carb foods and gained 15lbs. But shoot if all I can lose with Keto for life is 30 lbs.. I'm going to be happy and get on with the rest of my life. THANK YOU TWO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
I’m so happy to have found you!
We are so happy you have found us too Martha! -Em
Yes. Losing much weight made me look older. But, I have neuropathy in my feet and an extra 5 or 10 pounds brings more pain. I have to weigh youthful looks vs less pain. I
I agree. Keto (low carb) is not short term, I think it HAS to be a lifestyle - forever. Your health, your life is worth it!
You ladies are perfect the way you are... some people say trash because of jelousy.
Thanks so much! 🤗 -Sarah
Thank you. I recently started keto but I went in with a mindset of " no extremes." Cause I know that bread happens. Its inevitable. I had a slice of bread the first week. And I didn't feel bad or quit. I just got back to the focus of better health and energy. Because I have lost and gained the same 50 lbs for years. I will not be weighing myself, because at this point its not important. Thanks again.
P.s. you both have gorgeous hair
You have a healthy mindset this time which will lead to success, you’ve got this! Thank you! -Em
So true, I lost 58 lbs and it took me to years and thats fine. I had to make it a life style and it's working great. I'm 67 and I didn't want to be on meds.
I Probably have another 20 pounds to lose but I'll get there but it's fine I feel so much better.
I really appreciate you guys, you're so cute and you do such a good job, you help encourage us so much.
I just found your channel and love how real you both are. I've lost 71 pounds eating low-carb and love it. It's the only way of eating that kills my sweet tooth and hunger. One question I cringe at being asked about my weight loss is, "How long did it take you to lose the weight?" Like you two, I've been on and off low-carb diets since I was very young. I don't have a start date. I do well for a while, stress comes in and I gain some or all of it back and then hop back on and lose that and more, maintain for a while, etc... I know they want to hear, "Oh, I melted it all off in just 7 months!" But weight loss is not linear and it's so hard to make people get that. Anyway, you two have a new subscriber!
Happy birthday Libras! Many blessings being sent your way.
Really appreciate your honesty and videos :)
Thank you so much Sarah! -Em
I just love the dynamic between the two of you. I’m not even doing keto but I watch your channel. You might convince me tho!! I love the point you made about “ideal weight”. I think most people don’t even think about what that number really means and what it is they really want. I just want to be healthy, able to do activities and buy regular (not plus) size clothes so I can find clothes more easily.
Aw thank you!! You could always try low carb and then move to keto, lots of people find success doing that too! 🤗🤗-Em
Keto is a lifestyle change. It is how I plan to eat the rest of my life. I am 61. I wish I had known about this years ago.
Great video. Truth is a rarity here on youtube and I thank you for it.
Aww thank you! -Em
It took quite a while for me to fix my mindset- falling off the wagon used to be a week long binge, now, after a few years of doing mostly clean keto, I have better control and realize that one slip, doesn’t have to mean throwing the whole thing down the drain...I occasionally eat some junk, but have been able to hop right back on the wagon...lost 70 lbs overall and am maintaining...
Congrats on maintaining Julia! That's the hardest part! -Em
I appreciate what you all are saying about the difference between a diet and a lifestyle.
I think you are both beautiful, smart and always spot on. Thank you BOTH for your contribution to the Keto community ❤️🤗
Thank you so much Kat! -Em
Hi I just found your channel and have subscribed because I like how the two of you think and express your thoughts. Thank you for being real !! I struggle with Weight problems, it's never ending ! I've been eating Keto style for 3 years and I must say, it gets boring, so falling off the Keto wagon is a real thing. I have to keep reminding myself that my health is the number one thing that will keep me living the life style I enjoy and if I don't make food my medicine, then medicine will be my food, yuk! I don't want to live into my old age by popping pills and doctor visits. That is definitely not fun and terribly boring.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is the most HONEST and REALISTIC conversation I have EVER heard about weight loss even from all the Doctors (really chiropractors) on RUclips. Thank you and keep it up. Joanie from Northern California
Thank you so much Joanie!! -Em
Love "start doing other things to enrich your life". That is so spot on!
"It's never over" - Amen
Such good advice... I especially identity with being happy maintaining my current loss, rather than obsessing about losing more. "I'm happy now!"
I love that you said it takes more to maintain your weight than to lose it! SO TRUE! I've lost 150 lbs kept it off 5 YEARS btw im 40 yrs old! Have not lost more in almost a year.. I would like to but im living my lifestyle happily! Thank you for sharing these honest tips! Stay beautiful❤😘
🤗🤗 thank you so much Joy!! -Em
I have never been actually thin. I have been overweight to obese from the age of 7 or 8. I’ve never felt comfortable when asked what my goal weight is because I’ve never been at a “normal” weight. But once when I was in my thirties, I saw a photo of myself at age 21 and was shocked at how thin I looked. I literally said, “When was I ever that thin?” I distinctly remember feeling fat when that photo was taken. So what Emily says about that truly resonates.
Happy birthday, ladies! Thank you for another fantastic video! It's difficult enough to crack the keto code to achieve optimum weight loss without other RUclips channels telling you that you're ketoing wrong. (You know you're in trouble when the keto stall is as well known as the keto diet itself.) I love your reasonable, realistic approach. A million years ago when I was young, I did the Adkins diet. It wasn't sustainable for me then. What makes the keto lifestyle sustainable now is you. You and other RUclipsrs bravely share your stories to let us know that we can do this; you discover recipes and products to help us stay on the keto plan; and you push through the social media noise to offer insights into what really matters. Thank you so very much! P.S. It's lovely when Charlie, Ollie and Henri make an appearance!
Aww thank you Kim! We try to have fun and keep it relaxed so we stay on forever, we are so happy so many of all of you feel the same! -Em
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing keto faithfully for the past 5 months. Looking at the scale is honestly the most depressing thing I can do. I had an eating disorder in my teens and now losing weight is next to impossible for me. The thought of what I "should" weigh seems like such a lofty goal at this point. I really appreciate you putting this video out. I haven't "weighed in" for months, but clothes fit better (or don't fit at all any more!) so I know something is working.
I am now subbed to your channel!
Some people really do feel much better when they stop weighing themselves! How your clothes fit is a great metric to go by! Thank you so much for subscribing Michelle! We appreciate it!! -Em
I'm surprised by how many people are shocked by how much loose skin they have after losing 100+ pounds. That is something else nobody tells you.
I'll take loose skin over fat any day of the week.
This video brought me to tears. It made my day. Transformative. Thank you.
🤗🤗
Another thing that I would add to that list is how to deal or prepare with the anxiety that it comes when your buddy request carbs or sweets. In my experience it took me time to manage that and understand what is behind the anxiety and be compassionate with myself and in that way is more sustainable to keep going after a bad eating day.
Very frank and honest chat. Thanks. I so agree with you. Please don't let anyone steal your strength, your peace and your positivity. I'm on my journey too.
Thanks so much for watching 🤗 -Sarah
This video just sums up exactly why I was drawn to your channel and is the only Keto one I follow these days. You both approach Keto as a lifestyle and in a relaxed, humane, down to earth kind of way that makes the journey so much more bearable and sustainable! And apparently we are all 37 now, so that's fun to have peers as such great examples! Happy Birthday to you both!
Girls, thanks for all the many unspoken truths! I too have been struggling for more than 50 years. It is so much easier now with all the products available. I find eben during plateus, inches come off. Thanks again🥰
So good, ladies. I have the same hair line issue so I’m with you there. People can get over it. We’re fine the way we are. 😊
🤗🤗
I hate to hear you both feel insecure because of having a Y-tube channel! You both are gorgeous and smart with the most amazing humor! I feel so good after watching your channel! It feels like you are talking just to me with the issues that I can relate to! There will always be those miserable people on social media putting others down just so they can feel good about themselves! You both should be so proud of all your accomplishments!! ❤️
I think mostly people point things out trying to be helpful, but when people point things out that we didn’t notice before… that’s when the insecurities start 🤣-Em
Awww libras,happy birthday xooxox,mine was oct 12…turned 70…..yrs
Your videos resonate with me so much! I wish I had tackled all of the issues earlier in my life. I've lost a bunch of weight twice and gained it all back. This time it's for the long term! I'm 58, thank you ladies!!!
Can I just say, you gals are an absolute gift to the world. Thank you for being real!!! 🖤
Thanks so much, Ashley! That means so much to us! -Sarah
And don’t get discouraged. I was right there at first counting carbs macros everything. It was exhausting. I used to be a size 4 now a 16. Just gave up on my lifelong exercise junkie. But a new path and trying again. You two are inspirational.
We should eat to live not good to eat
I remember when I was younger(61 now) and I thought if only I lost weight or was taller(4’11) or if, if …. Fill in the blanks, my life would be perfect and I would be happy. Hindsight, I was pretty darn awesome back then! I wasted my time on other people’s opinions, the media, magazines and peer pressure. On a side note, you are both beautiful, intelligent ladies. You are both perfect the way you are 🥰 it’s great when you know who you are and how to live! Enjoy life, it’s a short travel on earth 💕
I love the real talk, ladies! This was a wonderful video. Thank you! 💕👍
Y'all are so cute - both inside and out! I'm so glad I found your channel...now I'm binge watching your videos 🤣
Aww thanks so much Jessica! We appreciate you!
I started keto about 2 years ago, I was 212 diagnosed with type II diabetes, high blood pressure and of course high cholesterol since now we know cholesterol is not a big factor. I now hover at 180, and my goal weight was 175. Now 'they' have determined that my weight should be 145 to 165, at which point I would be very skinny. Being a type II diabetic I will have to be keto for 98% of my life if I want to live a long and happy one. It's good you two started early to stave off metabolic syndrome, I did Atkins in the 90's but the scare of 'damaging one's kidneys' scared me off it, but I did do it occasionally just to drop off some weight. Now, it's been proven eating mostly fatty meat DOES NOT hurt ones kidneys at ALL, I am comfortable with keto. If anyone is a diabetic of any kind going keto is the only healthy path to take. If one loves their carbs and can't do keto, then prepare for a shortened, painful life. Thanks keto twins.
Yes! Food doesn’t have to entertain us. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You guys are so right ON! I am 66 and been keto for 5 yrs. I have lost over 100 lbs 3 times, (usually gained back within 2 yrs) and many many lbs in-between, since I was 5 yrs old. This is the first time that I have been able to maintain my weight loss. I finally figured out that this had to be a LifeStyle not a diet. I can't even image going back to the way I used to eat. Thank you for your videos, they keep me on track!
We are right there with you Debbie, we have also gained hundreds of pounds over the years after losing it too. Maintenance is the hardest part of the whole journey and it never ends. It should be congratulated! -Em
I watch a lot of informational keto videos (I'm pretty new to it) and yours are the only ones that don't make me feel like I'm never going to get this right. I know, for me, that crazy strict keto is not going to work because I will eventually get discouraged and give up. I'm not in a hurry to lose weight, even 5 or 10 pounds a month is fine with me. You guys give me encouragement when I need it.
Aw thank you Tracy! We are obviously not medical professionals but we have been there so we try to just explain things as best we can 🤗🤗
I had to do 10 years of emotional work to be able to see food as just sustenance. Now my body tells me clearly what to eat and how much. It's been a hard journey, but I'm happy where I'm at now. Thanks for great content!
Love your honest opinions! I’m currently working to stop thinking of food as a source of joy/entertainment. It’s hard but so worth it.
It is very hard! We know the struggle for sure ❤️-Em
I really loved this video! I can relate to everything you talked about. Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for being so real and speaking up I've been doing keto for 4 years you are 100% correct on everything that you have said and most people don't want to talk about this it's not about winning or losing it's about continuing the race I've never really had a cheat but everything comes in waves sometimes I do strict sometimes I'm not so strict sometimes I'm losing lots of weight other times I'm just maintaining never anything is linear
Love that! -Em
I find myself about every 4 weeks or so I have to have Hardee's double cheese burgers. Deal $7 for 2. Then I'll be fine. Will gain 5# lose it and then lose more. Began at 260d in Feb. Now maintaining 203-198. I'm happy with that too. Feel good at 68, can get on the floor with granddaughters. Climb stairs without puffing. I'm thankful to you Both Sarah and Emily. Your words and podcasts help alot. I'm in love with baking sweets. I'll take them over anything. But I do eat well when my husband is home 5 meals a week. Thank you both.
I think it's so crucial to remind yourself why...on those days where it's boring it's a good reminder why. For your kids, so you can have a fulfilling life, so you can be around for your loved ones. We ve become as a society obsessed with making ourselves happy. Sometimes we aren't doing to be satisfied, and that's ok. It's ok to make decisions because you know it's right for you to be healthy.
OMG! WHO DOES THAT??!! Who says ugly stuff to you girls??!! Lemme at em!! LOL! Just like when my twins were little, the momma bear in me kicks in when I hear stuff like that! You’re right, it IS the internet in general, people (thankfully not all people!) can be so thoughtless and sometimes intentionally cruel, but it truly IS their own insecurities glaring through! Well thankfully you two have walked right past all that and will continue to.
I appreciate your honesty about this lifestyle so much. I have been on keto for a few months now and I have to say it has NOT been the raging success I wanted it to be early on. I am trying to figure out why and especially bc my S-I-L went on it with me and he has lost a good amount. But of course he is 35 years younger than I am and has no physical challenges of which I have many! In three months I have only lost 20 and he has lost nearly double that. And we eat almost exactly the same things (which I suppose y’all would label “relaxed” keto-under 20 net carbs)!!! But I think like you have said before, everyone is different and has different reactions (now I can see that blatantly), i need to be a little more strict with the total carbs (and somewhat) calories whereas he can be a little more relaxed with his.
This IS my lifestyle now and I am committed to maintaining it. I have to. My physical challenges seemed almost insurmountable, but I KNOW being on this has helped give me the courage and stamina to make the 3-state journey to see my grandson after his surgery, something I haven’t done since I had my wreck 30 months ago!
But as y’all said, it has to be something that is going to be sustainable, and “strict” keto is NOT going to be sustainable for me, so slow it is I guess. I have shunned the wheats and sugars almost completely in the last 3 months and will continue to strive for that. I try to fill myself with mainly meat eggs and cheese as well as the allowed veggies, with only occasional “allowed” desserts (which I was totally overdoing at the beginning) so hopefully that will keep me in that weight loss mode, even if it IS slow as molasses in January!
Thank you ladies for being a huge part of keeping me motivated!!
Many people fail a dozen times, you say, and you are right, and not just about Keto. This is also true for quitting smoking, but if you keep at it, it becomes a new lifestyle. Similarly, I have been doing keto for more than three years and frequently go off the wagon, but overall, I have been able to keep about 20 pounds off, and more importantly, don't have the constant pain in my neck and hip joint I used to have every day. That in itself is a great thing. Also my labs, except LDL, , are sooo much better. Think long term. like the rest of your life, for lasting success.
So happy to hear of your health success William! wonderful!- Em
Thanks for being real bc that’s what people really need. That’s what really motivates and sustains your subscribers.
There is nothing wrong with your hairline and the two of you are adorable. I was nodding my head through the entire video. I once lost ONE pound in a month...just one. But I got curious and grabbed my tape measure. I had lost 10.5 inches over my entire body. I like to tell people that losing "keto pounds" is different than "low fat" pounds. It's like you're finally giving your body the building blocks it needs and so it's rearranging things. Lots of work going on in there. Also, just to prove that keto loss is much different than low-fat loss, I am 5'3" and weighed 150 pounds...I wore a size 6 and was almost into a 4. And then I failed at Keto...but now I'm back and it's a definite lifestyle and I will do this for the rest of my life. I feel much better. Sorry to be so long-winded, but it's just something I believe in and it encourages so many to know that the scale just can't understand us.
Wow that’s amazing Rene to see that kind of loss with your measurements! -Em
It took a while before I could watch your videos. I thought "how could those beautiful, yuppie girls know how it feels to be burdened with body issues! " I'm so glad I didn't let this rob me of trying you out. Much gratitude for your sharing and being so beautiful inside and out. Many thanks
Aww thank you so much for your kind words DeLinda! We appreciate your support! -Em
My goal is 100 lbs loss, that will take me from 268 to 168. At 5'2 I know 168 will still be to much for my height. I am so far at a 47 lb loss since May. I plan to meet with my health care provider when I make it to the 100 lbs loss and discuss what would be a reasonable maintainable weight for me and my health. When I started this journey I started with a mind set of life style change not diet. I knew I had to find an easy healthy way of eating and a easy flexible way to add exercise into my life. At this point I can easily see myself continuing on this way for life. It took me many, many years, diets, exercise plans, and to many failures to count to know what does not work for me. It took me a while but I finally found what works for me. I appreciate all you ladies share with us. I have taken much inspiration from you two.
Put me in Coaches! Thank you for this video. 💪💪 So much of this is a mental battle. Keep up the hard work. Your impact is helping all of us here.

I appreciate you telling us about the reality of how this lifestyle actually affects you in real life. It is very helpful to me, personally. I am about 1 month along on my very low carb lifestyle journey. Thanks Keto Twins.
Just now watching this video. I started Keto 4 months ago because my diabetes was getting worse and worse. Since starting, I have gone off one of my meds. Reduced the amount of the insulin I inject and have lost 25 pounds. I have 80 more pounds to lose and I hope to be off most of my meds and dramatically reduce if not eliminate insulin shots. Your videos are informative and entertaining. I know that I am going to have to be on keto forever to control my blood sugar and my weight. So, I’ll be hanging with you guys for a long time. Thanks for making these videos. They are a huge help.
P.S. Your dog is adorable!!
So happy to hear about your success Joyce! Congratulations! -Em
