to be keto you need to keep carbs to 20 grams or less each of the dinner were18 carbs per meal, which means one diner is all you can have all day. Don't waste your money.

My husband was diagnosed in 2/2016 with T2 diabetes. The thoughts of amputations kidney dialysis heart disease blindness propelled us into a lifestyle change which we later discovered was keto. we began our journey 2/2016 and both achieved 100 pound loss in 5/2021!! it took us 5 years after starting out at just over 300lbs each. It doesn't matter how long it takes there is no finish line. My husband reversed his diabetes we take no meds we have no metabolic disease. I am currently 168 and my husband 179. We are ketotarians for life.

Solid advice! I’ve lost 80 and am basically doing “trickle loss.” I’m fine with where I am but am about 10 from goal. I’ve kind of let go of the notion of having a hard set goal and my days of obsessing are over. I will say that I needed to be diligent and obsessive for my first 75 pounds. Maybe not everyone is that way but it took me a year or so to get really good with intuitive eating and being able to gauge intake without tracking. Calories matter greatly, more than any other aspect, on whatever lifestyle you choose. Another thing to keep in the forefront is to enjoy the changes in your mind, health, and body as they happen! Don’t focus on what is ahead, appreciate what you’ve accomplished so far! It was so funny, I had lost a good amount but couldn’t see it. One day I caught the sight of my back in the mirror and was like “holy crow, my back fat is almost gone!” 😂 More importantly you lose visceral fat first, which is what presses against your organs and causes them to not work as they should. You don’t see the results of that, but are you ever doing your body the biggest favor. If the scale is moving but your pants size isn’t, know that you are doing AMAZING things for what matters most. You don’t know how bad you feel until you start feeling good. One more anecdote: I lost a good chunk of my weight during quarantine and WFH. Once back in the office I went up the flight of stairs that used to get me winded. It took a moment to dawn on me that I whizzed up those stairs like it was nothing when the last time I used them I was huffing and puffing at the top! It was such a proud moment so I stood there to soak it up for a bit. But yeah, everything KT’s said is right! Wishing everyone well and cheering you on!

Intermittent fasting combined with calorie restriction and exercise while in ketosis will guarantee weight loss. One meal a day is highly effective, but may be a bit of a challenge for most people. Try fasting for 16 hours and eat all your meals within an 8 hour window. Longer fasts and shorter eating windows will make the weight come off faster. Stayng under 20 total carbs (not net) a day will ensure you stay in ketosis. Expect it to take a while to reach your goals. Thats how I started losing weight again after hitting my plateau a few months back. I've been at it for about 15 months total and have lost around 150 lbs. Was 50x30 pants size. Now 36x30. My goals are 32x30 and to weigh 160 pounds. That's around 200 pounds of total weight loss. I'm getting there and so can you. Be prepared to eat like this for the rest of your life if you wanna keep the weight off. Stop trying to replace your favorite foods with keto versions. DIY keto treats tend to have fewer carbs than store bought so make them yourself. Just remember they're called treats for a reason so don't overdo it. Plus when you're seeing the results of your hard work in the mirror, you probably won't be craving any of the foods that made you fat to begin with. You've got this! You owe it to yourself! You will feel so much better physically and mentally. I do and you will too if you keep it up and stay on track!

That's how my husband and I started--20 carbs or less, 6/18 fasting and lots of protein and fats. We've been at it for only 18 days but seeing great progress so far. He started around your start weight (368). Are you sure you want to go to 160? There's going to be some skin weight that you may be discounting...js. I don't think he has a goal weight in mind yet but I would think 180-190 would be good especially since we can't afford any skin removal surgeries. Just a thought...well I guess if you're shorter.

That type of calorie restricted diet got me in the situation I am in now which is obesity. An individual needs to eat when they're hungry, and we need to know what hunger really is. I'm 5. 10' I am 105.8 kilos. I have coffee with butter with two sweeteners in the morning. Which would probably break a fast, but then I don't eat until 1 pm or a little earlier if I'm hungry. The main thing for me is don't eat too fast. I eat a decent meal though like chaffle B L T. And if I'm still hungry I eat another one . With mayo and American mustard. I drink plenty of water💧 and most nights I have dinner around 7 pm spaghetti bolognese Keto and zoodles or a curry with Romaine lettuce or cauliflower rice. But I could never just live on one meal a day ID be miserable.♥️ I'm losing weight alright

It's not even binge eating exactly, but admitting you have a carb addiction. And I agree - eating treats, more prepared foods is best to leave for maintenance. You stay away from the addicting carbs by eating the keto version, but it's still junk food with calories. YES, there are times you just need that treat to stay on plan, but that should be rare in the weight loss phase. (If you go that route). People get so caught up in the RULES of keto - there are no rules except to keep the carb count low (and what is low is different from person to person.) Basically, you should stop eating carbs in potatoes, rice, bread, and starchy fruits, but you can eat beans and almost any veggie because let's be real, do you ever crave/binge on beans? or tomatoes or zucchini? No, just the carb-filled zucchini bread.

Yes, yes, yes! This is timely! I lost 56.5 lbs in just over 8 months without any of the packaged foods and products (I kept it to 20 net carbs a day). I only used a pre-packaged low-carb shake sometimes. The weight melted, walking on treadmill put the loss in overdrive. All this happened between June 30, 2019 and about March 11, 2020….then quarantine. I started panic buying so many keto products online out of fear that the food supply of fresh meat and possibly vegetables would disappear and only carbohydrates would be available. Sad but true. I wanted assurance I could stay low-carb. But it wasn’t the products that helped me lose the weight to start with. Who could’ve predicted this mess? I maintained a 50 lb loss until fall of 2020. But the extreme sense of restrictions on life because of the c-virus, loss of family members and a sense of lost hope really sunk my boat. I gave myself permission to add in the sugar and carbs, for emotional reasons. But not only that, I quit the walking as well. I have gained all but 9 lbs back. I am re-starting (this makes several times I’ve tried since) and remind myself to keep it simple! Not to rely on prepackaged foods (which were really just snacks anyway). I am interested in the Factor meals, however, just to supplement times we don’t want to cook dinner. I will see if they can be frozen or fresh meals only. We sorta live in a food desert and it is not convenient to run to the grocery store at all. Luckily no fast food delivers here either, lol!

It made me face the fact that I'm eating too many so-called keto snacks. Keto has been a total life changer for me.

Right on, you two. I needed this today! I've plateaued a bit after losing 36 pounds thus far. I think I hit a point where the novelty of being able to eat wonderful meats, bacon, nice steaks, and full fat things has worn off a bit. Which is so silly. Come ON, brain, how can you think that eating this beautiful steak is not indulgently delicious regardless?! Just goes to show I've gotta change it up and make sure my appetite for novelty is satiated, as well my hunger. I know some people can happily eat the same thing over and over; I wish I could. I will go a little wack and start hunting for treats and making yummy keto desserts if I don't scratch that novelty itch in my main meals. And, sadly, I've learned that sweetness itself, even sweetness with zero glycemic impact, is still a trigger for addictive behavior. There are apparently hormones and brain responses that are triggered by simply tasting sweetness-regardless of blood sugar impact. Upon hearing this, I suddenly began to understand why my cravings came back. I had been eating super clean for the first few months and the cravings eased off. Then I started adding in some homemade keto treats once in awhile. They were all pretty healthy, such as avocado pudding, keto mug cake, and such, but it turns out, I need to eat them much more rarely than I have been to maintain my sanity. Even more rarely than your very sensible 70/30 rule. See, this is how I know I'm an addict. I go insane when I taste a treat. I can literally feel my brain wind up like a little crackhead on a bender and I want more more MORE. WTH!! I so relate to your cake story. Cake/crack, yadda yadda, what's the difference, anyway! **runs away screaming maniacally** Okay, deep breath. Now, back to that steak... Thanks, Sarah and Emily. Much love from California.

You nailed it... I am a "binge eater", especially a carb addict. I grew up food insecure and I think that significantly contributed to my lack of self control w/r to eating junk (sweets, carbs, chips, etc.). Once the brain is programmed during childhood, it's extremely hard to unprogram it later in life. Keto can effectively work around an unhealthy relationship with food for many of us.

I know exactly how you feel. I have zero control over my binging on all sorts of high carb foods when attempting a traditional low calorie diet. Somehow It feels almost easy to pass on those things when I'm on Keto, I have no idea why that is, but It makes it way easier to stick to the right foods. I bought a big box of chocolate cookies for my employees and I haven't had a single cookie myself, despite passing that box several times a day. That makes me feel kinda proud of myself and motivates me even further.

If I had focused only on the scale, I would have quit and joined the "keto doesn't work" club. Instead I did some research and some fasting. It took me more than 6 months to lose the weight. It's about health first and a permanent lifestyle, not necessarily quick weight loss.

Gained weight back and felt awful and started up again but this time less strict but trying to do all these extra things like keto breads, desserts and expensive items. 3rd time was much less stressful but couldn't stick again. So to date off keto but just consciously making food with less carbs so it takes practice to learn this lifestyles. Unlearning bad habits and lies we have been told for years about the food we should and shouldn't eat. Habits are hard to change and break. I believe we will get it one day but carb and sugar addiction is a real thing. Thanks Keto Twins. Love your channel and how you use your struggles to help others❤

I really wish y’all could be interviewed by Dr. Berg since you have a nice niche concerning the psychological and emotional aspect of weight issues and keto. If you could be a guest on his show your subscribers would go through the roof! Anyway, I want you guys to know that I really appreciate you. I needed to hear this since I’ve been off keto for a few months. When I moved, I just couldn’t keep my act together with so much stress and no pots and pans in many excuses where my head just wasn’t into preparing food. Got to get back on the saddle someday soon.

You guys are great. I'm a grazer. So right now, I am being strictly 2 meals a day in a 6-hour window. And I am doing Dr. Ken Berry's Beef Butter Bacon and egg challenge for 90 days. All of this to get rid of cravings, start a routine with food, and lose the weight I gained back. So far, I'm 14 down, with 28 to go. Yup, treats come back when you get to maintenance. It's the only way to lose the weight.

Since starting my keto journey I would browse the internet for success stories from others that are on their keto journey and came across Dr. Berg and he says the same thing if you eat too much dietary fat u won't burn your own fat for fuel.

People make the mistake of thinking keto is about losing weight. Which makes it easy to say, once the weight is reached I will get off of it. Keto or low carb. I believe one can choose. Is about getting rid of sugar and carbs in general. Sugar is poison. Diets fail because we view dieting and weight loss as a way to get healthy. It's the other way around. We get healthy to lose weight. Once the carbs are under control. Translation, insulin is under control. Then we lose weight. Going back to a high carb sugar diet will return us to an unhealthy state. Then the weight comes back.

Ah yes so true. At first i could loose weight simply doing keto, then it slowed down so i started fasting 8/16, then 6/18 then 4/20 & im currentlt Omad-ish (2/22) & have lost 46 kgs in 8 month. BUT ive also tried "experimenting" with low carb foods & found a couple of pickled foods, ice & chocolade that is in the 1-5 grams range. Problem is it just takes 2 extra small scoops of ice & you are suddenly over your limit & weightloss is halted for half a week. So i went back to nearly carnivor style low carb eating with loads of meat & fish & greens. Thankfully i can totally eat sausages, beef bolognese & similar factory mixed foods & we a lot of really tasty smoked & salted fish here in scandinavia. Also snacking on porkrings, bacon & whipped cremed is great too. Just be carefull with nuts & berries. One hand is good, 2 hands is too much ;)

Keto works great when you eat simply. I lost over 70 lbs in 5 months (no carb counting), went from pre-diabetic back to normal & BMI dropped to 23 from 33. I eat seafood (meat eaters can substitue meats) over lettuce with steamed veggies (spinach, broccoli, mushrooms. etc) one day, then the following day I have 2 eggs & a whole avocado. Eggs Fried in EEVO sometimes in heart healthy butter.. By switching the fish & vegetables I get a nice variety. I drink heavy cream in coffee & never snack. I try to walk 5-10 miles a day. I am wearing skinny jeans again. Use OMAD with keto & pounds will rapidly vanish. Thete is no excuse for carb addicts (,possibly sicker than tobacco, drug & alcohol addicts) to allow food companies to remove fats and poison people with carbs. I prepare all fresh food. No fast food. Big tobacco bought General Foods & other companies. They are lying about carbs ( sugars, starches, grains& fake seed oils) and killing people like they are doing with smoking. I am 70 yrs old.

Something that makes a difference to me is that I need to avoid all wheat, all sugar, and everything that raises insulin, which includes a LOT of "sugar-free" sweeteners. All those things create cravings. If I go cold turkey from all of them, I lose the cravings in about 3 days. If you have that reaction, those things are probably toxic to your body, even though other people can eat them. Every body has different chemistry. I'm not saying I eat the way I know I need to. But I do know what I'm doing wrong.... And I try to make better bad choices. 😏☺

I have been on low carb for 3 years and I lost 60lbs in the first 6 months. Have virtually stayed the same since then. Have moved to “keep it simple stupid”! Have started seeing the scale move down again. But, the real reason I can stay on this lifestyle forever because it absolutely stops the progression of my psoriatic arthritis!!! If I cheat for a few days (on vacation for example) my joint pain returns quickly. But the positive side of this is that I can manage this (right now anyway) and not take those awful medicines that have so many side effects. Thanks girls…you have centered me again!

Hi, ladies! Excellent video! And so true, at least in my experience. I'm not trying to lose weight presently, but even so I mainly eat meat/poultry/seafood and vegetables. I'm still leery of processed keto foods because they're processed. I'm glad they exist, in case someday I find that I absolutely must eat a cookie, but right now I avoid them. I also limit my eating to two defined meals per day -- no grazing! Dr. Rob Cywes (the carb addiction doc) says that snacks are emotional events, and I agree with that completely. Thank you again for you sensible, realistic advice. And it's always lovely to see the dogs!

I learned a lesson the hard way recently, when I got blood results after doing a lot of traveling and eating at other people's homes. I thought after losing 26 pounds on keto and keeping it off for almost four years that I could have a cheat meal once or twice a week for a few months. Gained 16 pounds, mostly around the middle, and my previously low glucose level went from normal to prediiabetic. I had already discovered that keto breads and snacks bloat me and make me feel bad. Now I know I am not on a diet but a lifestyle. I have lost 10 pounds over 6 weeks, back on lazy keto again. I now know it's keto or very low carb for me for life or there will be health consequences--and almost instantly. I am just not meant to be a carb eater.

The first 5 to 10lbs you lose on keto is just water. Unless you can lose a lot of weight your insulin sensitivity is probably not going to improve that much. You can avoid carbs and make it look like your numbers are better but you are still insulin resistant.

I had to quit keto because no matter what I tried I became chronically constipated. I ate salad and vegetables and drank water and lemon water and even took magnesium and Metamucil. The chronic constipation then made my liver values start to elevate and that was the end for me. So now I’m counting calories and also still count carbs so that I don’t go overboard on carbs. I also still do intermittent fasting, coffee in the morning, celery juice for lunch and a healthy dinner. I also have oatmeal three times a week. I really Do believe that low carb is THE BEST diet for life.

I think people who are new to keto may remember the old Atkins diet ( which is often confused with keto) and that doctor would say: “Eat all the steak and cheeses and fat you’d like”… Keto is not like that! ( not even the new Atkins is like that)…. In my case I am very insulin resistant so I have to count calories, carbs, and proteins. Keto is working for me; but I only lose a pound per week ( so I do intermittent fasting). I keep the food on my diet simple and on the weekends I like to cook something “complicated” (recipes that replicate an old food I miss, but still within my macros). I think as long as I’m losing weight ( even just one pound per week) I am doing ok; and I have to be patient. Definitely keto is my lifestyle now and I anticipate it is a forever thing now. 👍🏻😊

Girls, I'm so glad you made this video. I've watched a few of your keto tutorials, and enjoyed most of them. I recently bought an air fryer to make low-carb meal options easier, and have to say that I'm a convert. I have been a LCHF convert for six years - ever since being diagnosed as a T2D - and have never looked back. I don't count carbs, calories or obsess about macronutrients, however, I went from 220lb to 160 within 3 months. Despite the advice of my doctor, I did not opt for the poly-pharmacy option, deciding instead to go for a diet and lifestyle intervention instead. After about eight months, my weight stabilized at 170lb, and has remained so ever since. I achieved this by eating real food - meat, fish, eggs and dairy, along with green veggies. I don't eat bread, rice, potatoes or pasta. I certainly don't eat cakes, biscuits or doughnuts. I never noticed before - that is, when I was a sugar and carb addict - the plethora of Keto, Low Carb, Free From, plant based junk food in Supermarkets, but have always been suspicious of anything in a packet or box with a long list of ingredients that I did not recognize and was unable to pronounce. Yes, you are on the money when you say we are all on the lookout for substitutes for the carby crap we used to consume. Alas, pea protein pasta, lentil pasta etc, is nothing like the real thing, and is still loaded with carbs and ultra processed food alternatives. I very quickly adopted an intermittent fasting lifestyle to supplement the improvements in my health and body composition. Again, I don't set alarms or use ridiculous apps to track my macros or pee on strips to check my ketones. I am healthy, my blood sugars are mostly normal, and I am loving the delicious, healthy food I eat, as well as enjoying only eating when I'm hungry. When I have a birthday, or at Christmas, my partner makes keto cheesecake or something along those lines. It usually contains vanilla extract, cheese, cream and vanilla protein powder and berries for the sweetness, but I know, while it's low-carb, it is not something that I can do on a regular basis. Keep sharing your excellent content, and keep making it clear that junk food is junk food, keto, heart healthy, or whatever other dodgy description it is given.

But I had to realize there is no going back. I am 63 years old and have always struggled with weight, that’s what led to T2 diabetes in the first place. There is no going back. I feel so much better, I DONT WANT TO!
