[@mapleflagg7744]

When I heard you say grassfeed beef and la-de-da high priced foods aren't necessary to do Keto, I subscribed immediately! I knew right then and there that you knew how to do keto and not go into complicated twists and turns that are too hard to follow. Love that. I'll be watching! 😊

[@Lifeisgoodthrifting]

HAHA I did too!

[@christinamariaketo6868]

Same lol

[@maggieadkins4754]

I am a new subscriber and I just want to say thank you for sharing your life with the world,you are such an inspiration! I am new to keto and am also the proud mom of an autistic child. Thank you for being so real and honest

[@amandajohnson8220]

When I saw them getting normal stuff at Aldi. I subscribed!!

[@kayisfunkyfresh]

"Im gonna show you my gas station snacks" 😻😎Yes Ive found my people

[@schillcr]

"I got tired of feeling like crap and wanted to love my life again and if I'm able to do that drinking things like Power-aid and Diet Coke, that's what I'm going to do." AMEN. I'm down 80 pounds and one of my "diet tools" is Diet Pepsi. The amount of rude comments I get about how bad diet soda is for me is staggering. Not ONE of those people said a word about my weight when I was morbidly obese, but apparently watching someone else drink a Diet Pepsi confers a medical degree onto those who watch me drink it. Great video-- btw, I'm low carb but not keto-- just nice to find someone else with a similar attitude toward the process.

[@DeeVarietyLyfe11]

I drink diet soda and sparkling waters and it helps me not to go off track so oh well I gotta do whats best for me and forget what the ney sayers say so just ignore them they dont know you. Best Wishes

[@carolsalvador2240]

"Grass-fed-Avian-drinking-rose-water=smelling beef..." I LOVE YOU!!!!

As soon as she said that I subscribed 😂

[@emunahshalomselah5124]

Same!! 😂😂😂

[@kristine95660]

Omg you have no idea the pressure to eat that way in California! 😫

[@bargainbrunette]

OMG I’m so glad I found you! A normal person that does Keto! Thank you so much!!

[@otheshanash9668]

“Grass fed, Evian drinking, rose water smelling beef” 🥩 lol 😂 love it!

[@cristinwatts4684]

Okay, so seriously you tube needs a 'love' button. Thank you so much for this video. Please do NOT BE EMBARASSED about that chart. When my Brit hubby and I we're trying to get out of debt before buying our house a very similar chart helped me so much! Might seem dorky, or cheesy, but it works! Also, will you be my new bestfriendcoachcheerleaderbuddy? Love you and yeah, that.

[@Stormy_Dawn]

Love this chart girl! This has actually become a thing in the weight loss world in the past couple of years. Way to go girl!

[@lucyburr5516]

Cristin Watts and I love you, 😘 Amanda! The chart is great. You are like a cool 😎, giggly best friend. I subscribed yesterday; so glad I found you. You are a NORMAL PERSON who is successful and helpful.

[@gingclausen]

in the military, they call that a "short calendar" i have used it myself, and after seeing this am inspired to make a new one. my first goal is to hit one-derland.

[@OffTheCreamyCrack]

Yeah, that chart is an amazing idea!! Plus I can keep it up on a wall without everyone knowing my weight (by choosing the one that tracks pounds lost instead of my actual weight).

[@vetterhaus3226]

I actually adore your chart idea!

[@KetoGinja]

Vetter Hause thank you! I felt silly but it really helped me. 🤷‍♀️💕

[@donnalangdon8600]

Could you do more dairy free ideas? There are no channels out there do. Only people who go dairy free during a stall.

[@KetoGinja]

Donna Langdon I’ll definitely incorporate some of those ideas. I also am a big “use what I have” person, so if I buy ricotta or something like that for a recipe, you’re bound to see it a couple times a week. ☺️

[@rachelg9846]

I just finished making mine!🤗💜

[@theamoore6892]

Yes, Dr. Berg, Dr. Ken D. Berry, Keto Connect, the fitness guy, and others

[@CARNIKELLI]

I am so grateful to those who have followed my keto journey for three years.....I have some very loyal followers. Keto is my life because of cancer, in my opinion it has saved my life. My keto journey has been 3 years, but at age 48 I feel better at this age then I did at 38 and I would even say 28. Congrats to your weightloss. Keto is amazing

[@lizakiesling1289]

I had no keto flu and I think this helped me. I ate 1/2 avocado every day (potassium) I also used the pink salt and took magnesium at bedtime.

[@kristine95660]

That pound chart is amazing! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@bella-blue]

😅😅 "He just spit food into my hand...."

[@michellekallstrom4421]

Don't feel silly for the weight chart it's a great idea and a huge encouragement.

[@tina2.07]

The keto police really got me down when I first started. People were so mean on some of the facebook pages. I am so glad I found you.

[@joannagonzales7886]

forget negative people don't listen to them they are bullies

[@betsyboo7941]

really omygosh why

[@mariarodw2060]

Hope you kept going, because I am having the same at work. Everyone is on something different. Now they are bullying me, they are saying “Oh, are you starving yourself?” Not listening

[@ketolifebycrystal1597]

Omg yes do not listen to people it’s terrible how people can be so discouraging and mean😠just block them all out and blow them away with your success💥💨😁

[@autumnpendergast9151]

Evian drinking rosewater beef. 😀

[@redshycoker]

#1 Your giggle is adorable! #2 Your goal chart is awesome, I'm totally gonna do that! #3 I love your videos, keep em' coming!

[@lisabksb]

First, I love the chart idea. Most of us are embarrassed over our weight but I for one, with your inspiration and honesty, have started Keto and will make a chart and stick to it. Your videos are so cute and informational for the real down to earth person, and I'm subscribing to your channel plus I'm tapping the bell (which yours is the only one). I'm happy for you and thank you for paying it forward!

[@lesliebennett7023]

Thank you for your perseverance!! You are a true Mom. I appreciate the fact that you did this video from the heart and with your kiddos in and out of screen.....that’s real life.... I’m so glad I found your video. Thank you for taking the time to share....

[@veronicaturnbull6240]

Don't be embarrassed. The pound chart is incredibly awesome! Thanks for sharing. I am implementing it immediately!

[@laurenlopez8895]

Hi there i started following you because of Lauren..... you are truly an inspiration. I love how real you are. When you got choked up talking about your boys i got a little teary eyed as well.... i know exactly what you mean by trying to be the best mom to our kids.... since I’ve started my Keto journey I’m down 4lbs in 2 weeks and promised myself not to weigh again till my birthday which is in 21 days!!!! Thank you again for you knowledge and keep it going girl you got this

[@KetoGinja]

Lauren Lopez I’m so proud of you!!! Picture a 4 lb family pack of ground beef! Guuurllll that’s what you lost. 🤩 keep it up and remember we’re all of the struggle bus together, kids and all 😂💕

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*What a beautiful and inspirational story* ❤

[@Cagey7531]

"eggs, did I say eggs?" LOL, you can never have too many eggs! :) Love that you could keep going with your hands clearly full! very informative and well spoken, GJ

[@e.b._nc]

I couldn’t be happier to have found your channel! Congratulations on your success. I started keto Aug 1 and am down 6lbs with about 40 more to go...

[@rebeccaburns6353]

Thank you! I’ve been doing Keto...not doing Keto...doing Keto etc. The cycle repeats. When I feel like I’m not doing Keto “by the book”, I feel disappointed in myself. Then I sabotage myself with food. This sabotage can last for days. I weigh myself every morning & watch the scale begin to rise. Then I get so disgusted with myself that I try again. My younger sister inspired me to start Keto. She’s been on it for almost a year & looks amazing. She got me started...helped me shop...we had a Keto cooking afternoon & she shares her journey with me. I am so grateful for her support. I need to get back on track. I was there...past the Keto flu, losing weight, feeling awesome & now.... 😔. I need this for me! Thanks again for your honesty & sharing. I’ve subscribed to your podcast AND I’m going to make myself a weight loss chart like yours too. I’ll hang it on my bathroom mirror. 🙂

[@tabbyasmr6874]

The chart is not silly/embarrassing..I have two bowls of marbles representing pounds to lose and pounds lost. I love the feeling of putting a marble in the pounds lost bowl. Love your videos!

[@leslielewis40]

Tabby Asmr That’s an excellent idea! I like that! Marbles!

[@missmayflower]

What a great idea. A super visual.

[@__itsKatie]

I super LOVE this idea!!

[@applejuicyjuice]

Thats an awesome idea! Now I need to buy 100 marbles!

[@Melinda2790]

What a great idea! I need to do this

[@britneejohnson4760]

I always feel like I'm eating or doing something wrong because I want to he perfect doing keto so bad. I need to trust myself more !

[@AllieAnne27]

This video was SUPER helpful, thank you! I was starting keto two weeks ago but a family emergency happened last weekend so I'm restarting this monday (trying to still stay low carb over the weekend). I can't wait to see more on your channel! I LOVE the "potty training" chart, I'm gonna make my own right now!

[@kericollins8894]

You are one of two of the best KZbinrs that I watch about Keto. thank you so much for keeping it real

[@ErickaSosaa]

Hey, I subscribed right when Lauren linked your first video and I just wanted to say thank you for making a channel and making amazing videos! I love how real they are and I feel so inspired to keep going on keto after watching your video, so thank you again! Hope you have a great weekend!! 😁

[@KetoGinja]

Ericka Ingraham you’re so kind. We just want to help everyone feel as fantastic as we do. We also can’t stand all the snobbery that comes with some of the Keto community at times. Happy to have you.

[@kamadogrove]

Lol. “He just spit food into my hand.” That look on your face was priceless.

[@TimetoShrink]

my keto is like my laundry! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!! You are the bestest!

[@kimwilliams1284]

you don't need to be embarrassed over your pound chart! that was an awesome idea to see how far you've come when having a down day. I stopped the video to make one just like yours! thank you for the inspiration!

[@Colieolieable]

Thank you! I’ve been doing Keto for about 7-8 months and only had committed to Keto for 6 months then I was going to take a week off and get back on it. Probably about 3 weeks before my break I hit a stall and thought you know maybe it’s good, go off, get back on like a restart. That didn’t happen I’m back on for about 3 weeks and am at that same stall point I was before I feel better, a bit discouraged here lately and the. Your video came up in an auto play and It did put into perspective I’ve still lost 66 ish pounds since the beginning of the year and I appreciate hearing you hit stalls and plateaus too thank you so much for sharing

[@pat-realfoodnanu9050]

This video is gold! I have watched you a long time but decided I should check some of your older videos (from before I found you). People ask me all the time how to do Keto. This is the best, most conclusive video I have seen. I have a tendency to just start rambling and overwhelm people because I love Keto so much! I will now simply link them to this video!

[@niamhnichols]

Thank you for putting out this video! I have been trying keto but have fallen off the wagon a bit. This video has got me motivated to get back on track again! Congratulations on your success you should be very proud of yourself! I hope I will be in your shoes this time next year!

[@tifffocus4976]

Your video is amazing! Thank you for sharing Been on keto for three weeks now and I’ve lost 13 pounds. I’ve done it for two months a few years ago and lost almost 30 pounds This time I am not going to stop. I have a lot of children and just welcomed twin girls last year ! I’m also a nurse so I need this body to work for me for a very long time. My goal weight is 175 so I have 81 pounds to go!!!!! You look amazing and thank you so much! Very inform and keeping it real for us mommas 😊

[@desiree2123]

Hi! Lauren Brazee recommend you. I've seen u a couple times on her channel. I'm a fairly new subbie to her as well. I really enjoy both of your content. I've been lazy Keto for 7mths. And have lost 45lbs. I stalled out for about month and a half and was getting frustrated but after seeing a video with you and Lauren I kept pushing and finally broke my stall. You both have inspired me to continue on a healthy lifestyle and to be a more patient mother. I don't have any kids on the spectrum but I have three kids all under the age of 10. Some days are harder then others but you give me hope and help me to not feel like I'm not completely screwing up my kids. Love you..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ❤

[@KetoGinja]

Desiree B it’s our absolute pleasure. We’re so happy to have you as a part of this Keto fam. You’re doing awesome!! 🤗

[@autumnraven3630]

Desiree B That's so awesome!! I'm on day 7!

[@jessicarae682]

This reminded me of myself on the weight shame. I started my journey a year ago and lost 40 lbs in a few months. Still have about 30-40 to go. I went hard on instagram and even thought about starting up my YT channel again to share my journey on keto and for some reason I just could not bring myself to post the comparison photos or my starting weight. I stopped doing Instagram and everything because I was like holy hell I don't want people seeing me at my biggest. I have all of these before and Afters hidden away and sometimes I think just delete them to erase that part of my life. You are super brave sharing your journey. Much love!

[@bgregg55]

I can't imagine how much harder changing to keto would have been with youngins. I'm very proud of you. I still use artificial sweeteners too...but I have been able to dilute them with a lot of water & still retain enough of the taste/flavor to satisfy myself. I've worked up to eating OMAD & am not having any problem after a week. Hunger pangs are very rare now. I've lost 50lbs so far & am chasing 15 more. I try to avoid the weight scale for the most part. I'm off most of the meds I'd been put on over the years.

[@fonejunky6306]

Your pound chart is awesome!!! I don't think you should be embarrassed AT ALL! I am so inspired by your story!! thank you for sharing!

[@7eather]

I also suggest intermittent fasting, for many reasons and health benefits (and weight loss!)!!

[@PandaMom2Many]

7eather I think if she recommends Dr Berg she is familiar with intermittent fasting. Some Keto people do better with snacking

[@sunshine_sistar2323]

I feel you sister! I did it for my kiddo too. 65 down.... 35 to go! I enjoyed your vid. Love the inspiration from fellow ketoers! Go you!!

[@christysalazar8560]

Omg I did the same thing with the chart and it made such a difference! I lost 30 pounds in 3 months! I wish I could show you a picture 😂

[@Livindaybyday]

I love the pound chart! What motivation! Don't be embarrassed. Yes, planning is good. I do this every morning for the day. Helps me a lot.

[@dordyboyd]

Thank you so much for breaking down the info! When you talked about not being able to keep up with your kids, that really got me! I've wasted so much time with my babies being a tired mom. The guilt is so strong for me in that area because I'm a pre-k teacher so I'm paid to have energy for all these other sweet kiddos, but nothing leftover for my own. Ugh..tears! You and Lauren inspire me so much though that I am starting to have hope for my life again! Thank you so much!

[@KetoGinja]

dordyboyd thanks for the kind words. Pre-k teacher, you’re a saint!! 😂❤️ we’ll all heal from the guilt together.

[@brownbetty0699]

This is an awesome video! Your comment about the grass fed beef literally had me laughing aloud! I've never been a keto snob and have no desire to watch those that are. I love watching you and your family! Bless you!

[@socalrenee4442]

Tell em girl ! F the Keto Police!

[@lar9681]

WOW!! Thank you so much for making this seem doable and real. I have read, listened and watched alot on Keto and just felt so overwhelmed and where to start and you gave me more hope and inspiration than you will ever know. I can't wait to watch more of your videos and get this down, in between grad school.

[@1etherial1]

Hi, I love you and Lauren. Can you please post up your meal plans like every week, so we can see what you ate the previous week. It would help me to see and mimic what you did but just a week or so later. And then after a while, I'm sure I will find my favorites and use those. But so far everything I have seen you make looks like the best thing ever. I have not started Keto yet. I am on a water fast to clean out my body and then I plan on starting keto after I finish. And along with the buddy comment.... I need a buddy! any body want one also message me :) I'm in Nor Cal

[@KetoGinja]

Tiffany Chandler my @ketoginja insta has almost all of my meals on it 💕👍🏻

[@KetoGinja]

And I looooove NorCal!! I lived in Oakland for awhile several years ago. 🤗 where are you? I share a tonnnn of recipes and I’m going to cook a BUNCH on this channel. You’re gonna be pumped on what you get to eat 👋

[@1etherial1]

Yeah I'm so excited. I have dealt with weight issues almost my whole life. I'm in Lodi. Its between Sac and Stockton

[@deannazacharewicz9148]

Hi there!! I am in Central Cali! I would love to be your keto buddy!! Started my Keto journey on July 14th!

[@1etherial1]

Hey girl! I tried to find a way to private message you because I'm sure we don't want personal info on here lol. If you know how let me know. Can't wait to chat

[@phoenixjerkface]

That pound chart isn’t silly, to really see the visual of your success is a huge help. Sometimes you dont see just how well you are doing and you can lose hope or give up. Especially starting out heavy and not seeing each little lb that comes off until you’ve lost quite a bit, not to mention we tend to see our old selves and don’t see all our progress in the mirror. You’ve done an incredible job and are so inspirational, I thank you for sharing your journey and all your help and encouragement!

[@gratefulMOMent]

8 minutes in and I am so grateful I found you! New subscriber. I think highly of the keto folks you recommend. The last 3 I have to look up. The laundry part had me in stitches. You are my people. I have 4 kids and been pregnant or nursing for 6 1/2 years. I get what you’re saying. I’ve lost about 30 lbs from keto, 10 lbs before that in the research phase of my journey. So 40 lbs total. I am thinking I would be comfortable after another 60 lbs. Everything you said I can relate to. Thanks for being real. ((Big hugs))

[@jillt1071]

I really appreciate your honesty and your heart. I'm starting tomorrow so I hope you continue to make videos.... Like constantly lol

[@jeanineknight6764]

Hey have u been able to stay on keto for the 5 months? Im just curious. I cant make it more than 2 days.

[@AlvinaRayne]

Love Leanna Vogel, such a smart woman and awesome resource. I wish she vlogged when I was losing my 134 lbs in a year.

[@Bellahope11]

Hey Guuurlll! I subscribed so quick when Lauren said you stated your channel! I am so happy I have a friend like you now in this Keto world. I do KETO too and have lost 25 pounds and have about 100 to go! Thank you so much! Love the addiction talk! Don’t be embarrassed I love your CHART! I’m gonna so do it! I am about the same of your start weight!! Also I have 1 video out lol! If you want to subscribe! I’ll be making another one too! Thank you!

[@Yarnfanatic22]

I just found you and I love what you had to say. I started keto 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it. I've lost 11 pounds so far. I love what you said about keeping it real. I was going broke trying to by all the grass fed things and now I just buy regular meat and eggs and things like that. I have over 100 pounds to lose and I pray that I can do this.

[@tifffocus4976]

You are amazing and I can relate right now with not being able to keep up. It can be rough. I'm trying so hard to stay on this diet but sometimes I wonder if I am doing it right my protein is always so high everything is fine. Any suggestions?

[@candlelite05]

[@mindsetwithmarie676]

Choose fatty types of meat. Beef, lamb, pork, fatty fish, chicken thighs! Add butter and oil to everything!

[@bucky1OF1]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been on Keto for a little less then a month and haven't lost anything for a couple of weeks now. I was looking for "real" people on keto and found you! I'm so glad. I started out about 1 1/2 ago to loose weight for my health ( I had many weight related problems), and lost 70 lbs on a nearly starvation diet (800 calories a day). When I started eating "normal" again, I put back on 20 lbs quickly. I started researching keto (i'd done well on Atkins back in the day), and decided I'd go keto because I just couldn't face the 800 calories a day again! So on Aug 1st I started and I lost 5 lbs quickly, but really nothing since. I have 20-30lbs I still need to loose, so I'm really motivated to stick with this. I feel good, off all of my meds and I'm not hungry most of the time, but I really need to see some progress. I'm experimenting with different foods and recipes to see what works best for me. Anyway it is really good to see a "real" person that lost weight and is keeping it off. I love KetoConnect too, but they have never really had a weight problem so it is hard to identify with them at times. Thanks again, I'm going back to watch some of your other vids :)

[@aprillew7393]

New subscriber here. You're such an inspiration. I really just love your personality. I started my keto journey 7 weeks ago. I'm down 25 lbs. And i just love the keto lifestyle. Thank's for your information.

That’s how old I am as well!! Will be 38 in May! Thank you for replying, as I know it’s a silly question to ask someone but I find you to be an inspiration to me and knowing we are the same age range really boosts my motivation!

[@lisayoung1130]

🤣🤣 I love it!! You can eat hamburger meat from the grocery store!! It is true. I’m on a limited budget & it is possible. Unfortunately when my keto brownies made with avocados flopped, I stopped. I lost from 190 to 120 5 years ago, my mom died a year ago & I’m up to 154, I’m 5’5& good Lord I have soooo many health problems this weight is going to kill me.😭🤦‍♀️

[@KetoGinja]

Lisa Young It’s not going to kill you because you’re taking control of your life and your food choices. You CAN and WILL do this.

[@cheyennestewart5930]

Subscribed ! I started keto on January 1st this year and I had lost 56 pounds in about 5 months. The last few months I have been low carb but have been having a cheat day once a week and can't seem to stop. Still 56 down but no more weight loss. Hoping to get back motivated this week with no cheats until Christmas 😁

[@HulaliPohai]

You just popped up on my feed and I loved your video & your no bullshit attitude. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Super funny, caring and genuine! It's what ketoers have been praying to always have more of ..

[@robinleclerc5663]

i love you !..u r exactly the kind of keto for me....more laid back....if it gets too strict i will lose interest....i never drank diet soda until i went on keto and thats to mix with rum for a cocktail whenever...i gave up my wine for keto...my bread, corn , beans, potatoes, sweets, fruit...u know ...sugar is a big one...and i've only been doing it since april this year but i havent cheated ...i'm only down 15 lbs and i play with a couple pounds for days....up and down and then it stabilizes....i loved your yumyum sauce on my egg roll bowl..tysvm...i'm also 61 so i'm a late starter on taking care of myself but better late than never....keep chatting with us....u look fabulous!

[@kweendickson1450]

Thank you so much for all your information. I have a long way to go and sometimes I feel like it's no working. I really thank you.

Hi Amanda, my name is frances and I started the keto diet at around 2 weeks ago and I have lost 7lbs from 179. I have a auto immune disease , graves disease, rheumatoid arthritis, liver disease and type 2 diabetic. I'm trying the keto diet to see if it helps somewhat with what I have and maybe by losing weigh the pains in my body will lessen a little so I may sleep better at night. Thanks for sharing your story and progress. Be blessed.

[@tanjazirngibl6765]

Love love love you! I have lost 85 lbs and I used 2 jars to keep me motivated. One with pounds to lose and one with pounds lost. I used 100 marbles with 2 larger ones for 50 and 100 lbs. My kids love to help me move the marbles from one jar to the next. My 6 year old has Autism as well. Visuals are so important.

[@stefaniefrancis225]

You and Lauren are absolute God sends! I'm very new in this journey but I've gotten so much encouragement from watching you both! I can relate to both of you on different issues. Thank you for putting yourself out there we mamas on lazy keto and keto followers need all the support we can get.

I love your pound chart because I am a crafter and I can’t wait to make one. I love how something you think is embarrassing can motivate others. I just gained 10 pounds after losing it 2 months ago on nutrí system and now I’m motivated to try Keto. Thanks for the motivation.

[@elitesniper9188]

Are you kidding me that chart is awesome! And you should not be embarassed at all by that chart! I have about the exact same weight loss goals as you did. The chart is a SERIOUSLY great idea!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

Loved this video. Congrats. Great tips and funny Watched several times. 36 lbs down in keto and still learnt a lot from you. High fives from London.

I just came across your video and it's really helpful. I'm hoping to start my keto journey really soon and have been doing a lot of research. I also just started following Thomas DeLauer and find his videos are really informational. Love the little weight loss chart you made, it's really cute. Thanks for the video, and I just subscribed.

[@ginalee7876]

Your information is the best. Gets right to the point, humorous and true to life. Thank you once again.

[@janehall9100]

Wow. You have really inspired me. You talk common sense and you are so interesting to listen to. Please do some videos on what you eat in a day. Some of the things you have mentioned I can't get in UK but I will look for similar. I would love a Keto buddy. This is not easy but it really suits me but I need to sort out the finer details. Thank you so much for taking the time to post.

[@lynnpettit868]

I appreciate you and your channel. I have done Keto and lost 80 pounds but gained 20 back so before I get out of control I started back about a week ago and I love your tips tricks and style!

[@texasoutlook60]

Love your channel and this was a great video!! Like you didn't do gourmet items just everyday ones! I have never counted net carbs or counted anything on my keto diet. I eat when I when hungry and don't if I not. Make sure I use portion control and drink lots of water. If I'm hungry after the day on keto I will eat fat because It's the fat that makes you feel full. I have lost 34 lbs so far and keto has helped with my chronic pain so much! Keep up the good work!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO! I started Keto, let me rephrase, I started practicing and preparing for Keto on 7/25/18, I had to finish off the remainder of my Bud Ice cause I sure as shit wasn't throwing it out, so my official start date was 8/1/18. I hit ketosis 8/8/18, then my daughter's 19th birthday was on 8/12 and I gave in to a piece of her fantastically wonderful birthday cake, (OMG I LOVE A GOOD BIRTHDAY CAKE), anyhoo I got right back on track and by December 2018 I had lost 30 pounds. I kept that off until about August 2019 when I started to slide off the Keto wagon. I've now slid 15lbs of fat right back onto my ass and it is now December 2019 and yes I’ve been beating myself up. The video of yours that brought me to you was your recent Keto Christmas gift guide and I immediately subscribed and started watching your other videos. This initial video about your journey is just what I needed to get myself and my mindset back on track. When I started my keto journey I also researched the crap out of Keto and tuned in to some of the same people you gave credit to. I also like Nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung, especially since in his line of work he sees how Americans are going off the deep end with diabetes due to our very SAD diet, but I digress. What I wanted to comment to you is that I love your authenticity in that you show your true self in your videos. I love that your kids are in the background being kids and that you talk to us as if we really are in the room with you, that you’re possibly having your morning coffee, that you made a “pounds off chart” that you feel embarrassed by (and you shouldn’t), that your emotions are real and that you are just everyday people like me. You don’t pile on a shit-ton of makeup and shove sponsored products down our throats. You tell us about the things that have worked for you and allow us to make our own decisions about what we’d like to try, or not try. You are real and true to yourself and you’re just what I needed to motivate me back on track. Thank you for being you, for sharing your story and for taking us on this journey with you. You are beautiful inside and out. Sincerely, A Keto fan.

Lauren Brazee and you are so inspirational. You guys keep me motivated and I find the keto content to be so helpful. Also I find you guys relatable (age group and crazy family life). Wishing you guys the best. :)

[@deanaferrari1750]
