We are Emily and Sarah, identical twin sisters from Chicago who have lost 160 lb following a ketogenic lifestyle. We would love to be a part of your ketogenic weight loss journey! We post recipes, vlogs, advice and motivation about weight loss and keto. We are proof that keto is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle that we intend to follow forever!
We are not medical professionals, we are just sharing our ketogenic weight loss journey. It is always recommended to ask your doctor if a lifestyle change is right for you before starting.

[@TruthandJustice_]

Thank you, Emily, for making yourself vulnerable. I adore the 2 of you.

[@marcie6902]

Please believe me if you hadn’t mentioned this I would NEVER have noticed!!!

[@Katy32344]

I hope you've gone to the dermatologist. I'm not trying to be fake nice, I truly did not notice anything about your face other than you are both lovely women.

[@deedeeblanscet4433]

Yes! I did not notice, either

[@technicolorbutterfly9756]

Same! I also agree with the dermatologist suggestion.

[@marcelaleyva6700]

I agree

She mentioned seeing a dermatologist in the video.

[@maureensmith4993]

Oh, you both don’t need Botox, it’s poison, natural beauty is best, and you both are beautiful, lovely girls. Beauty on the inside is more important than outside, but you both have both ! ❤

[@aprilglidewell45]

I’m so sorry. Same thing happened to me. At 31 years it started. Thousands of dollars on dermatologists, pills, skincare, Accutane twice, laser treatments. Keto, intermittent fasting, and the last round of accutane finally gone. I’m 56 years old.

[@khill6510]

[@carolgonzales4262]

For some reason I'm not able to comment. So I added it here. I used to get a huge zit. I realized it was due to constipation. Since you were traveling, that could be it.

One of my many talents is the ability to take a pimple that you couldn’t see if you were sitting next to me on a couch and turn it into a pimple that could be seen from the space station!! I’m 74 now and I think my pimple days are behind me now, but when I was younger it was brutal at times! You girls are so cute! Love watching…❤️

I'd like you to talk more about emotional eating and how it affects your mental health and strategies to combat it

[@technicallyketo]

thanks for the suggestion!

[@cdmikie]

I guess the advice that I would give is don't beat yourself up over things. We do the best we can with what we know, but we also don't have to live up to any standards other than our own.

[@thatbossybeaver]

I would highly recommend Dr Idriss here on KZbin. She’s a dermatologist and shares so much helpful info. Focus on gentle barrier repair products to heal the barrier then go from there with adding other stuff.

[@IQTech61]

It takes courage to share your story. I hope that people who need to hear what you have to say and who would benefit from your experience find this channel. Thank you, Emily.

[@KCallaAK]

I'm sorry that happened to you Emily and I hope you recover completely. You are both SO gorgeous! I just found your channels a few weeks ago and have been binge watching. Beautiful lips, hair, eyes, LOTS of great humor. You are both definitely beautiful inside and out!

I never had a problem until I was 30 ish, in a sad disfunctional marriage and dealing with my Mom's terminal cancer diagnosis and 5 yrs of care😢. I had to constantly mess with chin breakouts and now I have small scars

[@technicallyketo]

sounds like emilys story :( so sorry about your mom

[@carolinedombrowski8882]

I thoroughly enjoy the two of you on both channels.

[@ConsoleKari]

Personally I like listening to someone who is a real transparent person who struggles like I do. I feel like were on a team when you can identify with who you are watching and that its ok to not be perfect but the choices we make can help you make progress and progress is attainable. I think you are both pretty women. Anyone who says you are not are focusing on one imperfection and not the whole picture. I know you cant take away the insecurities but you do positively affect your fans.

[@BTSHIQ]

Thank you Emily for making yourself so vulnerable. Love your channels ❤

[@diannhazelton9808]

Bless you both.

[@shannonk2800]

Wow!! Thank you so much for this video. At 42 years old I just learned a lifetime of great information that would’ve been useful long before now. Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It makes complete sense. I love your videos. I will continue to watch them ❤❤

[@airstreamer]

Thank you Emily for your transparency! Prayers that you will figure out what is best for your healing. - Michelle

[@lisaanderson8054]

Your hair looks amazing thick and healthy. Focus on your positives. Thanks for the information on skincare.

[@jillkerly1228]

You're very brave to be so honest, it can't be easy dealing with everything that you have had happening over the last year, and then having unhelpful and hurtful comments online too. As many others have said, you're both beautiful girls and I honestly can't say that I ever noticed anything amiss but then again, I don't look for that kind of thing! I just really enjoy your videos and love that you are so down to earth and "ordinary" for want of a better word. With regards to your psoriasis on the forehead, my son had treatment after treatment for years for a rash across his forehead until a new GP in our surgery suggested he could be coeliac...and he was! He now follows a gluten free diet and the rash has never come back.

My heart absolutely breaks for all the stress you've gone through over your face. I had 💯 Not Noticed anything over this last year - honest! I'm so glad to see that things have turned around. You both are just such amazingly sweet, raw, open people = that I truly love to watch!! Perhaps you two have never dealt with this issue, but I'm only 6 months into my low carb / keto lifestyle. I've been doing really well, however I am still dealing with a lot of swelling in my calves/ ankles. (Especially at night when I pull my socks off). Any tips or tricks? I thought a month of keto would've solved that issue, but sadly it's not yet.

[@NoFeArChiC2]

Wise words!

[@Valerie654]

You both are awesome. You are beautiful. I just subscribed to your second channel. I have been a keto twins follower since I first came across that channel.. I totally understand. I am 71 and I have been on keto for about 4 years. I have slimmed down as a result but I spend about 2 hours a day working on my face trying to keep myself from showing my age. I do face yoga, face exercises, guasha and of course plucking. Very exhausting but I think it is all worth it in the end

[@michellegoodwin8258]

I’m very interested in the red light therapy… thanks for sharing

[@leitanewman8991]

Hang in there, Emily. It will get better with time. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@normasisko9202]

[@clearyourhead333]

You never mentioned going to a dermatologist. Anyway, at this point in your healing they may recommend Tretinoin for the scarring.

[@technicallyketo]

I have been prescribed it, afraid to start anything new at this point, I might start slow. Once a week to start

[@thatbossybeaver]

@@technicallyketoSandwich it with moisturizer too (so moisturizer first tret, then moisturizer on top) to buffer it a bit, it can help the dryness Tretinoin can sometimes bring on

[@leah_1577]

I used sandwich method and started twice a week with no problems…my prescription so far is very low strength tretinoin through Agency online. I just started it the past 4 weeks. They will increase dose in next followup.

[@nathalierey7663]

Retinaldehyde is gentler than tret and more active than retinol. Everything with derm support.

[@Marmeeseven]

This Indiana white (like almost clear) girl went to Miami a few years ago and the sun gave me these two “sun spots” that are darker than the rest of my face. I hate those things. Covering them up doesn’t work. I share that to let you know as far as face issues go, I understand. Even so, I think you both are so pretty. I very much enjoy your fb page (great community) and your channels here. You are so real, so helpful, and I trust you.

[@technicallyketo]

Thanks for sharing 😢 hopefully it will fade with time

[@akorn95]

I really enjoy watching you two! You are so generous and funny! I’m so sorry that Emily is suffering with this, but I was glad to hear about the probiotic. Maybe look into Dr. William Davis book Super Gut. A healthy gut is very important and with everything you have been through your gut might need a bit more support. His “yogurt” might just help. Read other reviews about his book. And just like you said, be patient. Keep us posted. 💖

[@technicallyketo]

❤️❤️

[@pkirkey6932]

Sunscreen, kindness to your face and allow yourself time to heal. In the meantime, red or orange color corrector. Fenty Beauty makes one that seems popular. Good for age spots too. That’s how I know about this. You two are beautiful and amazing!

[@smilesandbestwishes8597]

♡ Big HUGS!

[@GunnerDot1]

Thanks, as always, for your bravery with being vulnerable. I’ve been there, too. Best advice you will receive … the only advice you should follow. You’re in the great city of Chicago. Do your research and find yourself a great dermatologist. She will guide you on what you can and should do. Research products she recommends before dropping a fortune and follow instructions, even if they are prescription. Or better yet, ask for samples from her office to try things out, given your recent traumatic history. I know of what I speak, dude, really! Thanks for talking again about what we don’t talk about enough. You’re welcome. (Ain’t I arrogant? 🤗)

[@Bluetangg]

She has a dermatologist. Mentioned in the video.

[@alinawesley4768]

My daughter takes Pantetine, it’s a vitamin supplement that works very well for her. She also takes Dr. Berg’s Adrenal & Cortisol Support and Adrenal Stress, which work really good for stress. I hope this helps.

The good news: you still look great! Nice advice: make an appointment with a dermatologist who specializes in aesthetic treatments. They may have a different take on things.

[@JackieDiy]

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it very much because I was just thinking of getting one. I am Fil-Canadian and I have hyperpigmentation which is finally improving and oh my gosh!

Hey Emily, go to the pharmacy and ask for Resinol. A prescription isn't required but you do have to get it from them. Abt $6. Use it on a cut, pimple, rash, etc. It's a miracle cream.

[@justmedee1959]

After my pre-menopause breakouts I started using dial antibacterial soap on my face and that helped.

[@CynsCorner]

Have you considered that it might be hormonal (i.e., the cause of your initial breakout and the weight gain)? Like perimenopause happening?

[@technicallyketo]

It’s not. It’s healed now, I have no active acne anymore. It’s just dark spots.

[@MaryLynnDaigle]

[@saramarques7986]

Try coconut oil in a good quantity and also use psyllium husk, it helps

[@hosephine1]

Drink more water than you think you need or want. Helped me immensely

[@dez6278]

Benefiber is a flavorless soluble fiber that dissolves totally in water and other drinks. Psyllium husk is the fiber in another common fiber powder, Metamucil iirc. If you can't have those, Miralax is different, works like magnesium citrate by pulling water into the bowel with osmosis. It's safe long-term and used in a drink daily, no taste and dissolves completely also unless you get it flavored. There are generic brands too.

[@lisaanderson8054]

Are doing any thrifting anymore? I loved that subject.

[@corriesites2431]

I don't really have any advice, except go to a dermatologist, which u probably already have. And follow their advice. Love u both.

If that house you wanted ended up selling for less than you offered, it could be that after the inspection issues came up that led to renegotiations so maybe you dodged a bullet.

[@methanial73]

I have no idea if it helps, but I'm a white guy and hydrogen peroxide on a zit has worked very well for me. Just take a Q-tip and soak it in it and rub it on the zit. twice a day and before you know it it's gone.
