My keto transformations - Before and after

[@ketotwins]

Wow! Thanks so much for the shoutout, that was so nice of you! We really love your content and all the work it takes to perfect your recipes! We are not the best at following directions sometimes...😂 and it was definitely our fault that the fries were oddly shaped but we did enjoy them and will be making them again soon but next time we will keep them thin like you suggested! We look forward to more of your keto creations! ❤️ Sarah & Emily

I started living Keto 1/22. Since then I have lost 90 pounds! I have gone from using 75 units of Novalin insulin twice a day to using 20 units and my average blood sugar runs less than 100. Last month I had a stroke and the doctors have said that I had to go a lower cholesterol diet. So I have been revamping my Keto recipes. I and using much less beef, eliminating full fat dairy items, eliminating whole eggs and basically minding the cholesterol count along with the carbs and sugar. My appetite is under control. I eat when I feel hungry and stop when I'm finished with what I put on my plate. So far my transition is going very well. I use olive or coconut oil for everything now. I just purchased some avocado oil and going to try to make some of your french fries. I started Keto watching you and you ever so aided me with my transition. Thank you and keep on helping others to gain control of their mental and physical health.

[@beverlyhills8988]

Bloody hell, you don't look it! Not that there's anything wrong with being over 50, but fucking hell girl, you age well! 💚

[@beverlyhills8988]

@Tafari I not all people on keto eat under 20 carbs a day. Some people can be away with 30/35, some people can even manage 50. I don't strictly count mine. I just choose from safe foods and eat until I'm satisfied. I keep a general count in my head, make sure my when I eat it's generally between 5 and 9ish carbs. I'm still breastfeeding so they suggest you eat about 50 carbs a day, but I'm definitely way under that and not suffering any ill effects. Just feel your way and find the balance that's right for you, if it's obsessive, chances are it won't be enjoyable. Although some people thrive off that kind of structure, I guess it depends on what works for you. I don't have cheat days personally, I thought I'd want to, but I don't. I ate a load of carbs once and it all but tasted crap and made me feel like I was on speed or something! 😂 Really wasn't pleasant. I know your question wasn't for me, but I thought I'd give you my input. I'm sure this lady knows more than me. I've only been doing it a couple of months, but I'm really enjoying it.

[@MyMlittleFriends]

@Tafari I intermittent fasting definitely a tool I use to maintain but if I'm hungry I do eat.Ill cheat on special occasions but getting back on track is the key.

[@marianneodell7637]

When I first started keto I was so weak I could not even stand in the shower. My leg,butt and thigh muscles were shaking. I became so dizzy I fell 3 times. My body must’ve been in shock from carbohydrate de-tox! I stuck it out and doing better,but I frequently don’t have the energy to do what I need to do. Seeing my Dr this week and will discuss seeing a nutritionist

@marianneodell7637 electrolytes help me if I have those symptoms or do under 50grams of carbs and dwindle down slowly. High fat low carb works best for me .We're our own experiment everyone is different.

[@patnewson6908]

This is one of the most profoundly helpful videos on diet I have ever watched. The philosophy, the way in which you express it, is accessible & yet deeply profound. So what I was needing right now. I am a 73 year old woman who has struggled with being overweight my whole adult life. Two years ago I had a complicated hip replacement (first surgery split my femur in two places - was redone within two weeks; I had to spend the first 6 weeks pretty well lying in bed to heal the femur). I did heal well. I lost a bunch of weight while in hospital. At home I wanted to continue that weight loss & be able to maintain. I did my jbest about 10 years ago on an all raw (vegan) diet for one & a half years. But, by gar, I regained the weight & fell off raw wagon. This time, after the surgery, I researched (mostly on KZbin) the keto diet. It seemed so contrary to everything I had learned. I tried it & found it to work for me - wonderful to feel full, not craving. I hit a plateau, not a bad weight, but about 10 lbs above my ‘ideal’ weight. I’ve been around that weight for about 8 months. Went ‘high raw’ for the summer & amazingly started to slowly gain weight. So here I am back on (vegan) keto. So this video helps me enormously. Thanks! Oh, by the way, that you are vegan is a huge draw for me. You are inspiring. And your recipes are terrific.

[@HeavenlyFan]

Hi Pat, keto is totally sustainable for a vegan and it has provided tremendous healing for my body. The food is delicious and you're no longer on the guilt/pleasure rollercoasters. There will be some ups and downs till your body adapts and settles, so be patient. But most importantly, enjoy the food! As they're no longer the source of guilt but true nourishment.

[@patnewson6908]

[@malk6277]

You are a treasure, Fan. Thank you for speaking so candidly and generously about your journey. I'm just 4 months into mine, and just recently realized I had stopped planning my IF and had switched to just listening to my body. What an amazing experience to realize I can trust it! I hadn't done a 24 hr + fast on my more or less regular schedule... and then woke up one morning with my body saying loud and clear it did not want food. So I went with it and ate once my body said it was time to. Like you, meal times have gone out the window! I count carbs though, for now, because with long covid I've been hyper sensitive to them and the one of the most direct ways I've found to minimizing the ill effects has been to stay under 25g net carbs per day. Hopefully this phase will pass and I'll be able to stop counting them. Be well!

[@melindawiens275]

😩It makes me almost cry fo what’s you’ve said. I’ve eaten so healthy for 20’years and still been 20 Lbs over weight. I’m so tired of it all. Thank you for your encouragement.

[@ifomadnotsad2140]

I agree with your comments on the signals for satiety. I know my lack of knowledge on the science regarding the dynamics of hunger hormones is what caused my obesity. That lack of knowledge came from my upbringing in my family and community. Now that I have the knowledge I have power. It was hard breaking the addiction of sugar and carbs but now after gaining the knowledge from science from the books on Keto and fasting I am 90 lbs down and still losing but winning the battle of the bulge. It's never too late. I'm 65 and finally getting healthier. I follow your channel because I have the same philosophy as I listen to my own body. THANK YOU FOR THE WORK.

[@teyondamurphy6198]

I’m extremely impressed by being in keto. It has changed my life! It isn’t a diet for me, it’s a lifestyle, one that I will incorporate for the rest of my life. I have lost weight, learned how my body works, learned to eat, gained energy and sleep better. I also do IF not even knowing that I’m doing it because when I learned how to properly eat, my body adapted to less meals on its on. I’m super happy with keto!!!!!

"What I really wanted was freedom." YES!! This is exactly how I feel. Thank you for articulating it so beautifully.

[@luluxxxpr]

I started keto 3 yrs ago because my doctor recommended it. Due to I have pcos, according to my doctor she said it was the most severe case she has ever seen. My hormones were way out of wack. Not to mention I was borderline type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Mainly I did the diet to correct my hormone imbalance to able to get pregnant and lower my blood pressure. I was amazed how much weight I lost. I was a little over weight, total I lost 27 lbs and six months after starting I was able to get pregnant and had a beautiful sassy baby girl 🥰. Till this day I continue the keto diet. Since having my baby I gained some weight back. I’m just taking one day at a time to get back to my goal.

Were you on keto during pregnancy? If yes, really interested to hear how it went.

@@nooranen3178 not so good. I had to stop keto while I was 6 months pregnant. It was affecting my gallbladder. I had to do low carb due to gestational diabetes and low fat. It was very hard and frustrating. At least for me it was. After I gave birth I went back to keto.

Hi, can i please ask if the high fat content in keto diet was okay for your body?

[@luluxxxpr]

@@TA-mr3pe it’s been fine for me. After the carbs are depleted from your body, it starts burning fat for fuel. So at some point I had to increase my fat intake or my body would of started using protein for fuel and I would of lost muscle tone.

[@dontfit6380]

You don’t need a lot of fat to be on keto. If you cut the carbs your body naturally goes into ketosis. All the extra fat is mainly for the beginning of keto. It’s to help someone that is use to eating a lot get through the cravings for food. My wife has been on keto for 6 years. She eats no more fat than she did when she was eating the SAD. Which is not a lot because it upsets her stomach. When she tests she in nutritional ketosis which is optimal for the diet.

[@andyspark5192]

You do realize, that your incredibly easy recipe is *The Number One Recipe* of the keto community. It has incredible potentials. Even it's easy to make, people will by the finished product, especially on the go. Also some youtubers made some optimizations, like 'Keto Funnel Cake' by Ashley Salvatori. I personally wanna try to make mini-pizza-crust and cookies. You should think about marketing your recipe. Frozen 'Keto Fries' in the stores, fresh 'Keto Fries' in restaurants and snack bars. And by changing the shape and adding some other ingredients there will be more products based on your recipe. Don't miss this huge opportunity ! There are several keto channels, which sell their products successfully. They surely can help you with advice, how to start. Please think about it.

Such a healthy, joyful perspective~ as it truly IS a quest for freedom. Of course we want to enjoy our food, & we want to properly fuel & nourish our bodies~ they ARE our 'temples', so to speak, & they are THE ONLY ONE WE GET. To respect our bodies & how best to treat them, is to unlock/open up doors to every other aspect of living a quality life. To be of highest standard service to ourselves, makes it natural & easy to want to share & be of service to others. Personally, my most significant "transformation" has been the freedom of focus. For about 20 yrs. I have been a 'grazer', thinking it most healthy to eat very small amounts, 5 or 6 times a day. I have always been very active, physically, so I felt as though this was most conducive to my lifestyle~ I was consistently fueling my body, just barely enough. Yet, having so much of my time focused on preparing ahead for the day/week & making sure I always had a ready protein & veg/fruit source available- all day long- was tedious! It also trained my body to be hungry/expect food every couple hours- ridiculous. I began to resent it, and felt it occupied far too much of my time AND my head space. That resentment is what led me to begin researching alternatives, & ultimately led me to keto. I eat once a day, on average, sometimes a light meal or snack in between. Such FREEDOM, & I feel like I accomplish so much more in my day. In fact, I know I do! It took a few weeks for my body to adjust; to be able to eat larger quantity at one time. Also, much research & study was in order to reverse my belief that a body goes into "starvation mode" & holds onto extra fat & fluids if we go long periods in between eating. I'm a person who needed the scientific studies, the hundreds of personal accounts, & the ancestral eating history lessons to convince me that I can actually tap into fat/energy stores during fasting periods. Education of experience is also invaluable~ it feels, & IS wonderful to share, far & wide =) Your contributions are exceptional, imho, & I Thank You for them. XO's from Samantha in AZ

You are a gracious lady. Keto is a challenge for people who are used to being told eat this, don’t eat that, have this many meals and snacks, rather than the “simple” principle of listening to your body. We are also used to fast food, instant everything, so in our modern society, we don’t like the principle of having to take time to learn what works and what doesn’t. But the rewards of long-term health and freedom are worth the investment of time and the bumpiness of the learning curve.

Thank you for making sense of the many aspects of the ketogenic way of eating. I’m fairly new (4 months) to the keto diet and have a lot of weight to loose, however, having hit a plateau shortly after the initial loss of 18-20 lbs., I became very discouraged and almost threw in the towel, but then after a routine visit with my doctor, we both realized I had reversed some medical conditions, and I was thrilled about that. So now, I weigh myself once every 2 weeks, if I think of it, and I’m sticking with the program to hopefully continue to see more progress. By the way, I love your keto recipes!

So well articulated the benefits of keto - thank you for your channel and the hard work behind the scenes. Love the information and your passion not just about keto but vegan as well. Shows it is possible to do both and thrive ♥️

I am 55 and I have heart disease. So, i decided to get my health into control and started keto. I have tried other diets but have never worked for me. I will keep keto eating . I am not dieting I am eating healthy.

[@HeavenlyFan]

That's a great approach. It has become my natural way of eating.

[@sillydogcalledjackson6960]

@@HeavenlyFan thats what I will be doing. Thanks for posting so many awesome recipes.

The best explanation I've heard. I understood everything you said, as I have experienced it all. Been doing Keto for 10 months now and early on, decided it is a lifestyle change. Thank you for this video.

It is so true keto is such a Powerhouse for maintaining weight there is no other diet in the world that will ever do that for you I am on my third year of keto and for the first time in my life I feel like I am in control of maintaining my weight loss

[@4ofSeven]

Thank you. I really enjoyed this video. It makes a lot of sense. I love the way that you have approached this. I’m not a big foodie but I know that I have to eat to sustain life. I just want something easy and doable so I’m going over to your what I eat in a day video which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you again

[@wendyronk123]

I loved what you said about weight loss “plateauing “. How it is actually an act of love by your body. That is a lovely way to explain it, and it was like an epiphany to me! Thank you for the wonderful insights. Just found your channel and enjoy it so much! New subscriber here! 😊

Hi there, I really like the way you spoke about keto and the simplistic explanation of everything.

[@catherineramiah5559]

Great video- thank you for your genuine nature and clear explanations. You are one of the most authentic you tubers I’ve seen lately. Keep doing what you’re doing👍 Stay safe. Sending love x

I'm new to keto and your "heavenly talk" was very helpful to me.

[@maacskitchen2230]

Been on keto since 2018 and lost much. I fall I rise and move on. The benefits are numerous for me.

[@bananaanna1373]

“If you stick with the high level principles then you don’t have to worry about the details.” I so agree. This is a lifestyle, not a diet.

[@eileenvogel4135]

Wonderful assessment of food and its role in our lives. I have been a yoyo dieter for MANY years BUT on KETO for almost 3 years. It will be sustainable for me for the rest of my life. I really enjoy your channel and your recipes. Thank you!

[@leonherbert8154]

So true Fan - this is how I approach it..

[@HappyVegan72]

I really love your attitude towards this life change. It’s very inspirational 👍

[@4jrgolf]

Keto has been so rewarding for me. The process of taking a general idea and then modify it so it fits to you. I'm only 3 month in and honestly not missing much. Daily weighing to me is also the only feedback that motivated me to make experimental adjustments. Lot's of trial and error.

[@lynne8056]

I appreciate your efforts on the fries. I won't try them merely because I have came to the point in my Keto journey where I have decided to stop trying to recreate the things I used to eat. I don't need them anymore. Yes, I loved fries - emphasis on LOVED. Thanks for your recipes.

[@danakarloz5845]

That’s a great way to overcome certain food issues! I too have been avoiding certain recreations of my favorites but I have to admit that yes, I know these are not real fries, but they are still a delicious treat to have on occasion...just as some sort of almond/coconut flour crispy concoction 🤓 I didn’t substitute them for anything else

[@jqlauren]

That's how I feel about sweet things, especially because I have had serious adverse reactions to all of the sweeteners. I am at the beginning of my low carb journey so I am grateful I realized quickly that keto sweets are not for me and to just let that go.

[@anonamoose2229]

I just made them and I swear it was like a great french fry. I fried them in beef dripping and dipped in ketchup. I was so sceptical and I'm crap at scratch cooking but these came out perfect and tasted fantastic.

[@kingboss26u]

Nobody cares what you don't want to eat any more

[@carolcote2196]

Well presented. It's true what you said about satiety, leading to being happy with keto food choices, and feeling very well, calm, and in control. After starting keto, I tried to explain to other people what's the difference between and low calorie eating plan vs keto. My friends that eat high carb, high sugar didn't understand and thought I was surpressing my desire to eat high carb/high sugar based foods. I'm not surpressing it, I just don't want them anymore. I do find when I have had high carb junk items (like potatoe chips), you can easily eat more of them, as your body doesn't have that cut off switch activated. I'm so glad I've found keto, like you, I'm mentally calm, and in control of what I eat, instead of foods controlling me. Thanks for your channel, I really enjoy it.

[@beverlyhills8988]

Exactly this! I don't count at all, I just use 'safe' foods and eat as much or little as I like. The only challenging part for me is the amount of planni g and preparation involved, but ultimately that's a good thing, because I'm making almost everything from scratch. I know what's going into my body and also, when you have to take that time to prepare it, it prevents you from just eating for the sake of it. In fact, the other day my boyfriend made a sausage casserole and I ate two new potatoes with it. I didn't spend all night hearing the rest of them calling me from the kitchen and I felt satisfied. It didn't fuck my diet up. If I'd have tried doing that eating any other way I'd have just gorged on them like I'd never see another potato again! In the future, I might invest in the ketone testing stuff to see where I'm at, then again, I might not. I definitely prefer this approach. Allowing the ketogenic lifestyle to be an organic process just feels right and it's so enjoyable. In fact I'm not even allowing it. It needs no permission, it's just does it all for me! It's so nice to look forward to your meals and not be looking for something else to eat an hour later, or worse still, fighting the urge to eat again after every meal.

[@louiseslack8133]

I’m trying to cut back on almonds and almond flour. Thank you for the reference to Lupin flour fries. I will look that up.

[@rosarioayala5488]

I agree with you and I believe it is our responsibility to knowing our own body, and take the best decision to be well

Such a helpful chat, yes you are very softly spoken and gentle. Thank you so much for the very useful info in this video. X

Great philosophy on diet. A diet needs to be a non-diet; it needs to be sustainable and enjoyable. And your body needs to welcome it. Thanks for the pep talk.

[@karenroyal57]

Thank you for your video you shared here. I am back on Keto, but not doing vegan Keto. Although since following your videos, I have incorporated more Keto Vegan recipes to my diet. I have found I really enjoy these recipes, and do share them with my family and friends. I made your 5 seeds crackers, and the avocado salsa spread with a feta cheese with sun dried tomatoes, black and green olives, drizzled with olive oil salsa mix. I’m taking them to my daughters to share with her today. The crackers are amazing.

[@kathyjames9250]

Thanks so much for this sensible, body-friendly approach. You are right, each person needs to do their own research. As a (former!) Diabetic, the only sensible approach to keto for me was in a way that has not forced me into practices I can’t sustain, that is, to make the easiest gradual changes, without over-counting specific amounts, except for marking daily in a journal, the occurrences of protein, fat, carbs and liquids (no amounts, but I can tell if I am overdoing something by the way my body reacts). Only recently I started to use a “net carbs” food chart, partly so I could re-introduce a few nutritious grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables back into my diet, because I was looking terribly unhealthy, feeling weak, and my hair was falling out! It has allowed me a wider versatility of foods, and also more that my family can share somewhat, and after only a few days, I am feeling much better, more energetic, and feeling not so deprived. As you say, this is sustainable so I don’t have to revert to other unhealthy sources of satisfaction. After doing my research, i reintroduced oatmeal (rough cut rather than quick cooking is better) and hulled barley (not pearled). I know it helps to combine them with lots of good fats, plus other protein- , nutrient- and fibre-dense foods to slow down absorption and keep satiated. It is worth it to me no longer to focus only on weight-loss, although that seems to be occurring on its own at a healthy rate, indicating that my body still needs to lose fat. I am really grateful for your videos. I was so happy when you introduced those keto-friendly noodles you use, (I like the “rice” version!) I also was really happy to find zero carb organic black soy beans (canned) by “Eden” brand, so I can enjoy chilli, bean soups, taco salad, bean salad, etc. The low carb site (Canadian) also carries sugar-free BBQ sauce and other hot sauces. Each of these opens up a new world of choices. As a Christian, I felt led early in the year to make these changes, and it gradually became clear to me that I had been ‘sinning’ against my own body and mind (and life), as well as those of the people around me, which is the fallout of self-destructive habits, (no man is an island). Besides the opportunities to boost my immunity, regain brain function, as well as the health of my family, it boosts effective prayer, allowing me, as a (former!) Diabetic to fast, as the Lord has indicated is standard practice for a person of faith. Right now we need effective prayer. God bless you, your family, and everyone following your videos.

I am looking forward to learning more from you and trying out your recipes. I have lost 20lbs so far. I started Keto on January 5th of this year.

so true, just because something has the title keto does not mean it will help you stay in ketosis. it is interesting what research does for you. Confidence is the greatest gift. confidence to be the best you.
