The WORST Diet Advice We've Ever Heard!

[@tinawingmusic4763]

My old doctor told me that now that I have diabetes, I'd have to eat between meals. He recommended oatmeal. I knew he was wrong, even before I did my own research. He is no longer my doctor. My current Doc has me on Keto.

Yeah, the shitty part. Same with Coke and I’m not picking on them- I love Coke, but they say “as part of a balanced lifestyle” .. what they’re really saying is if you exercise your ass off and eat nothing but salad and celery then you can add Coke or cereal and not gain too much.

I had started a new job as a care provider in an assisted living facility 4 years ago. I had been there maybe a month or so when we had our first staff meeting where there was food and sweets available for all. I just piled my plate with only meat dishes because I was doing carnivore at the time (and feeling and looking great--my skin was absolutely glowing). One of the med techs asked me why I only had meat on my plate and I told her that I had been doing carnivore for 2 months and had lost 17 pounds and was feeling fantastic. You would have thought she had seen a ghost. Her eyes got so huge and she started telling me how unhealthy that way of eating was and that I could get really sick from it. Mind you, this med tech was probably around 300 pounds and eating an ice cream cone while she was lecturing me on the dangers of eating carnivore. It was taking everything I had to listen to her with a straight face. 🤣

I was first diagnosed with Type II in 2008. Managed to keep it fairly well-controlled (A1C below 7) pretty well, eventually even without meds. Blood pressure was the same... history of being high, but got it down to about 130/90 fairly consistently. Not perfect, but not going to kill me, so long as it didn't get higher, right? So, I start Keto on 8/26 of this year (my birthday -- a present to myself, as it turns out!). I see my Dr. on 11/23. In 3 short months, without any struggle once I got through the first 2 days of detox/withdrawal, I'd lost 30 lbs, brought my BP down to 110/70, brought my A1C that had started creeping up to 7.4 down to 5.6. Brought my good cholesterol up, bad cholesterol down, triglycerides down, and overall cholesterol down to low end of good range. I also had better, increased numbers for calcium and Vitamin D (all the cheese!), both of which I had been having trouble with being deficient, no matter whether I took the supplements or not. I said to my Dr., "I know at some point I'll have to trade out some of the bacon for guacamole and olive oil..." He responded with, "Don't change a thing. You're making progress like I almost never see, are content with the diet and happy with the results. Only thing we'll change for now is bloodwork every 3 months instead of 6. If anything slips, we'll make adjustments then, before it gets out of hand, but I really don't expect it to." I love my Dr. 😀

Congratulations on your success with carnivore. I just realized that I stayed lean in college because I ate what I craved - meat and small amounts of green veggies. But other women in my community shamed me out of it and said I really needed to be vegetarian.

Being a diabetic the doctor and nutritionist said you need to eat 6 small meals every day. The diabetic diet is based on these statements. When I ate 6 small meals I was hungry all the time and thought about food all day long. Thankful I am now doing Keto. Very rarely hungry. As others have said…this is a lifetime commitment.

My mother, who is a registered nurse and also my biggest bully ever about my weight, would always bring home papers laying out the newest fad diets to put me on when I was a kid. Everyone else in the house was thin and allowed to eat whatever they want, but because I wasn't thin I had to eat diets like the "Military Diet" and the "Cabbage Diet" and she would always say it was because she wanted me to be healthy. If you're a nurse, you should know that these diets are basically starvation and starvation isn't healthy. She was just embarrassed to have an overweight daughter who wasn't into ballet and cheerleading like she was and all she did by constantly forcing me to do these diets and shaming me about my weight and food choices was to give me a lifelong dysfunctional relationship with food. But, thanks to a lot of introspection and personal growth, I am finally working to repair that dysfunctional relationship with food.

My Dad made comments about my weight that stuck with me. I wasn't even chubby- 5'2" 125 lbs. I was the "chubbiest" of us 4 kids. (The older 3 were thinner, good looking and popular in school) I took after my Dad. He was stocky built w/a weight problem. He might have feared for my future but to do it the way he did was wrong. Teen girls are very sensitive about their bodies. All my teen years I thought I was fat. I wasn't. I know this now. I see pics of me then and it disappoints me that I thought it. This is, in part, how girls get body dysmorphia. Now I am overweight. Looks like I took after Daddy anyway. I weigh 170 lbs and have yo yo'd most of my 57 years.

I had a family friend say to me after not seeing them for years "how are you doing??......I can see you aren't going hungry". That's one of the worst things to say because it made me feel like crap and I ended up eating more. When my daughter was 9 months old I found out I was pregnant again but after an ultrasound it showed that the baby had died but never aborted. I had to have a D&C done and for about a year afterward I was in a deep depression. I gained over 150 pounds in that time and I am working on getting rid of it. I have lost about 70 pounds over the years but am a standstill right now. This Covid garbage and losing both of my parents during the last two years isn't helping either. I will keep trying though.

As an "unconventional" exercise physiologist, it hurts my soul every time a client says they want to start exercising to lose weight. While it is important to continue to "move" people have forgotten that you do not need to "exercise" (in the new definition sense of the word) to be healthy at all. It is important to keep your body moving, in what ever capacity that means for u. Sarah and Emily, I love that you garden. And i bet you, you move ur body more than the average person who goes to gym (because they believe that is what they need to do) 3x a week mindlessly sitting on a recumbent bike watching tv (while i hope they are watching your youtube videos). You are filling your cup with things you love that provide movement to your every day, you eat the way the feels good for your body, and you find meaning your work.

Hello from Iowa! I am 62 years old and have been on Keto since October 21, 2020. I went through Health Transitions in our city to get started on the Keto Diet. It was a 9 month commitment. However, my husband and I are still doing Keto. I have lost 86 pounds so far. I started out at 278 pounds and am down to 193. I still want to get to 140 pounds. I had stalled for three months and couldn’t seem to get past 190. I had reached 190 for a few days and then went back up to 194.6. Then I was back up to 197 a few days ago. I realized I wasn’t tracking my carbs or calories very well. So this week I joined Keto Cycle and have been counting my carbs again. With Health Transitions we counted net carbs. With Keto Cycle we count regular carbs. So this one is much stricter yet I don’t get that hungry. I am back down to 193 and hope that I keep losing it this week to get back down to 190. I am looking forward to getting into the low 180’s and then move on down. I fast every day from 7 p.m. to 12 noon or 1 p.m. each day. I have done that ever since we started Keto back in 2020. I have had a few people tell me that if I go off of Keto I will gain all of my weight back. Well duh! I told them Keto can sustain me for the rest of my life and I am so thankful for this way of eating. I have a good friend that keeps telling me I am going to die if I stay on Keto. First she told me that eating fat was going to clog my arteries and I should be on a low fat diet. I told her low fat foods have added sugars in them. I’m not going to go on a low fat diet. Since I got off of the sugar I feel so much better and don’t have a problem with inflammation like I used to. Then just a month ago she told me there was a study that came out that says Keto causes tumors in your body and I should get off of Keto. I can’t seem to make this friend understand that my husband and I have had our every 6 month check up. We both used to be pre-diabetic. Praise the Lord God we are both healed from that. Keto heals type 2 diabetes. We are no longer pre-diabetic. We both used to have back cholesterol. We both have normal cholesterol numbers now. So eating fat has healed our cholesterol. Then there is an article that comes out every year that says Keto is the worst diet to be on. From what I heard from Fox News that article comes out every year. The writers don’t bother to do their homework. False news strikes again giving Keto a bad rap! My hubby has lost nearly 70 pounds. He is still working hard to get the weight off. We both are. Hang in there girls. Thank you so much for your video. I appreciate you both!

My taste buds are not interested in that anymore). I was just told by a friend on vacation that I'll just gain it all back if I eat carbs. She couldn't understand that I don't wish to ever eat those bad foods again. Sheesh. She works out and eats and drinks fruity drinks but is heavier.

Surround yourself with good people! I have just dumped toxic people in my life, Its really hard, but I'm doing it! I'm sick of being sad over them! Same thing, different dig! I don't need it!! Especially family, they think bc we are related they can say anything to me! WRONG!! I left "my know it all, control freak" husband moved away and bought a small farm. I'm getting animals this spring and I'm doing my keto OMAD!! I've heard it all myself!! I have MS and the fasting helps me think clearer and function! I feel absolutely great and without all the stress from my family, I've hit the jackpot!! xo

[@margarethorton9699]

There is one friend that says, you can't not eat cards, you won't survive! Everytime I tell him that I restrict them and sugar all I get is a tut and 'it will never work'. He now doesn't even comment on the weight that I have lost!!

[@carleeliebhart3526]

So good to see you two today! There is so much ignorance and judgement regarding obesity. Thanks for shedding a ray of light, hope and reason on every video! I'm 62. I look and feel much younger since I've lost weight with OMAD. I'm a ketovore and loving it. My blood work is stellar, my energy is high and I have great mental clarity. I drink 80 oz of pure water daily so my skin is amazing! My brothers have both had gastric surgery. I'm thankful to have found and adopted this lifestyle. Supports like your channel mean EVERYTHING to my success. We are better together! Hugs from Missouri 🤗💕

[@kimhays9362]

The worst diet I ever did was the HCG diet. Under a physician’s care, I ate 500 calories a day and took HCG. I lost 30 pounds in 30 days and was not miserable doing it. However, once the 30 days was over, I gained 60 pounds back in a very short time because there was no follow-up advice and I just started back eating like before. Anyway, I had paid a lot of money and it was just devastating to gain all the weight back plus more. Plus, I’m sure it messed up my metabolism big time. Love the channel and you are so encouraging and real. Thank you so much!

[@theresesolimeno4651]

I'm with you guys: I don't "exercise" anymore, but I do take walks with my dogs, and go on bike rides when it's a beautiful day, and dance when the music moves me. Adopting the keto lifestyle - and finally understanding that my body is carb intolerant - is what's important and it's something I can maintain the rest of my life without the guilt of the "have to's" that others impose on us.

[@kellylappin5944]

You are getting a lot of exercise with your active lifestyle!

[@Ashley-mh9kq]

Your honesty makes you best keto channel out there. I love love love how you girls tell it like it is ❤️❤️

[@charlottetacy6729]

Exactly on all of these. Especially gaining it back and more and eating whatever I want in moderation. I can’t eat carbs in moderation. I have never been able to eat carbs in moderation. And no, I don’t need to exercise. All I plan to do is walk a bit. That’s enough. Been there, done that with exercising like crazy. Not going to do it again. I will go for a short walk.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Not only are people being condescending when they tell you that you will only gain it back when you "go off Keto", they are just tearing you down. It seems that some people are not "happy" unless they are discouraging other people. I can't understand this at all. You girls are very honest and I agree with all you have said. I am a woman, nearly 74 years old and have done Keto, more or less, since the late 1960's when the Dr., whatever his name was, came out with the Low Carb Diet. I was in my early 20's and struggling with my weight for the first time in my whole life because I was put on birth control pills. The pills changed, of course, my hormones and my metabolism. What a shock it was to find I couldn't just eat the way I always had and I didn't even grow up eating junk. Now, in my 70's it is more important than ever for me to stick with Keto and I love the encouragement I receive from watching you gorgeous women!

[@karenbelonoha8853]

I’m 70 years old and have been doing Keto for a year and I am 56lbs down and do not exercise at all, yes I know I should at least go for a walk, but maybe in the spring I’ll get there.

[@sickofsnow1506]

Flavored coffee creamers were a really big thing for me. I mean I would go through it like water. 1 year later and 70 lbs weight loss I finally gave myself permission to buy some vanilla creamer I was so excited! Went home made a fresh pot of coffee and after 1 year of black coffee the creamer gagged me. I actually gagged! Hahaha thank you keto.

[@VintageDiscoveries]

I don’t go to the gym I don’t feel it’s necessary, some people love it ! I think it might be more of a singles bar with sweaty 🥵 smells but that’s just my opinion. I do feel better when I can get my steps in for the day I think walking it’s great for you .

[@cw1626]

I've noticed many comments come after people realize you really are losing weight and sticking to something you believe is your lifestyle. The word jealousy comes to mind more often than not.

[@VintageDiscoveries]

Oh and as I was thinking about it , eating low fat ?!? , weight watchers is the worst , do you know their prepared meals have about 44 g of carbs ?! wth ! they think by shoving 300 calories on the front and saying low fat that it will sucker you in we’ll it did for me at one point 🤬It’s evil 👿.

[@coppertop7827]

I've heard all the comments that people have said to you too.... I started low carb in 2003 and tightened it up as the months passed by...I lost 77 pounds and kept it off... This is a way of life that I can't imagine not living now... In 2005 I had so much excess skin that I had a tummy tuck and breast list - not only did I look good, my internal feelings about myself soared. I did it for me and have never regretted it. I do OMAD in early evening, I don't count calories, I eat until I am full. I sleep better, focus better, attitude is better. I didn't exercise either...and still don't..I walk for cardio. Exercise is only 5% of weight loss...so it's not really worth the struggle when you dread doing it. 70 pounds, only 3 pounds was from weight loss..I'll skip it thanks. I'm 63 yrs old, newly retired and feel like I have a whole life in front of me. Also, about every 7 or 8 weeks, I will eat a normal meal, usually going out to a sit down restaurant, not junk food... I eat it moderately, enjoy it and then carry on to my OMAD life... no guilt, no regrets. A nutritionist scolded me about my lifestyle a few yrs back saying I could never continue this life and I am missing many nutritional things that I need..such as an orange, or the benefits of a potato. The medical pros are killing Americans, and the food industry is even worse... Look at Americans...fast food, processed garbage, quick easy reach for bags of chips, fries, pasta... Little 6 yrs old so fat their arms don't rest at their sides...think of 10 yrs from now. I'm healthier at 63 than most 20 yrs olds and my labs prove it. You girls carry on..ignore the advice, keep doing what you are doing... good for you that you found the secret to health and wealth of life. You both look great.

[@kellylappin5944]

Some people can eat oatmeal and be satisfied and thin. Oatmeal makes me hungry! I have been told by doctors that it doesn’t make sense but it’s true! I don’t eat breakfast and eat low carb and am never hungry unless it mealtime!

[@IQTech61]

I have also been keto for three years. I was in recovery from a hysterectomy for the first six months and hardly moved at all but the weight came off easily compared to when I did a popular diet program and exercised like a fiend in grad school. I love this video! You hit all the points that pushed my buttons in the past. The one I hate most - always cut your meal in half and put half away. It's based on the belief that everyone stays hungry for a full twenty minutes after they finish their portion. After being on keto for one year, I found I often reached a point where I realized I was only eating because I was required to clean my plate as a child. It was so liberating when I realized I really did not have to eat if I was not hungry and I could put away the food when I got full.

[@AliPrieta]

I’m so angry for believing the 5 small meals a day lie for YEARS!

[@kellylappin5944]

Also the low fat craze that made us all hungry all the time!

[@jillgoodsett7826]

You hit it! People can NOT help themselves and feel they have to tell you that Keto is unhealthy . I then ask “have your studied it?” Then they regurgitate only a snip it of information they think they know and stand tall thinking they have a mortal high ground cause they are healthy as #$@%. It really has infuriated me, however… this is my journey and my journey only. I feel their bottom dwelling opinion of it means nothing to me anymore. I, over all these years, have learned such horrible habits and now know that i do NOT have to eat breakfast to be healthy, and that eating less meals IS ok. Somehow my body will survive the fewer calories. So thank you for always talking about such real shit and for being so vulnerable with all of us, your keto family. We are all just doing our best to be our best.

[@ksummer6427]

[@ritaosborne9449]

I started on keto / low carb lifestyle Sept. 1st , by December 28th I lost 42 pounds, October 2nd I broke my toe and my foot and ankle swelled up, then the end of December again problems with both Ankles got better then Jan. 27 again , my foot dr told me my Uric acid was extremely high , I told him I was eating healthy low carb Keto , he said that probably what is causing it. I disagree, researched the medications I’ve been taking , I have been taking Vascepa 4 a day and one of the side effects is gout. drs should look at the new research and results, just after 3 months on keto I lost 30 pounds my triglycerides dropped 159 points , and my A1C went from 6.7 to 5.9 So I stopped taking the Vascepa it was supposed to help lower cholesterol, I think continuing keto will be better with that.

[@janetmcg3086]

Don’t worry about cholesterol. Higher cholesterol levels for women are better. Higher cholesterol levels mean a lower risk of early death. Research the information for that. Loads of info on KZbin and on the Diet Doctor website.

[@Austin-jp9pi]

@@janetmcg3086 how do you explain a woman with Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) has a 30 percent chance of a heart attack by age 60? Looking forward to your input, thanks.

[@faatimahwaheedbanks2651]

First of all I am enjoying your content keeping it coming. Second I personally agree that you don't need to exercise to lose weight however it will help tighten and tone areas that may become saggy due to weight loss. I have been on what I call a "ketolike" lifestyle since 2018 and I've gone from 283# down to 246# from a 3XL to a XL/L depending on the material. Some may say that's not much but for me its good because the inches loss makes me look like its way more wt loss. So I think this will be a lifestyle I'll keep for the duration. 😉

[@denisekeary8229]

OMG, you girls NAILED IT on every point you made. I've also lost weight on keto with ZERO exercising. Interesting how eating breakfast used to make you feel - same with me when I was a kid. I'd feel a little nauseous, as well. The point you made about someone saying to you something like, "oh just have a little" of something, it won't hurt. Yeah - that's like telling an alcoholic trying to stay in recovery to "just have a little". Absolutely NOT. It's the same thing. When the carbs metabolize into sugar in our system, it's ADDICTING. The more you eat, the more you CRAVE the carbs. And yeah, LMNT rocks! I look forward to it every single day.

[@kittywoods7155]

I love to go for walks & move but doing keto was the key to being down 80#’s. Now walking doesn’t hurt my knees. I just like to walk it makes me feel good. I agree with all you said. I love the meat & broccoli! The other things are tempting but they make you feel empty, meat however is so satisfying! Thank you for addressing these subjects! Blessings! 🤗💞

[@susansmith7287]

I've heard all those things too. Another thing I was told was you can eat all you want just as long as it's carbs and low in fat. Sort of like a reverse Keto diet. Love your videos. You ladies have that great Chicagoland charm....just like me :).

[@jms42]

My husband and I just talked about this. We both feel that when we wake up and eat breakfast, we just don't get as much done in our day. All I think about is eating if I start my day eating.

Great reminder ladies your diet should be your lifestyle for ever

[@diedrastevenson300]

I appreciate the work you girls put into researching and presenting information. I agree that losing some weight before embarking on a regular exercise program is a good idea. When you are extremely over weight, the extra stress on muscles and joints can .ake even a simple activity like walking difficult. You can become discouraged very easily. Keep up the good work. You both look healthy and happy.

[@janetmcg3086]

It’s not just losing weight that can ease the stress on joints. Eating way less carbs can lower inflammation that can cause joint pain. Several years ago I was told by my orthopedist that I was a candidate for total knee replacement, for both knees. Cutting most carbs has eliminated my knee pain so much that I’m not getting the surgery!

[@agiraffe3673]

My little sister makes it abundantly clear, that she expects me to fail. My husband says it is not about me, but that she thinks if I fail, it means it’s okay that she didn’t even try.

That’s so sad that your sister is so openly rude! Hugs

[@Puglover130]

I just got into an argument w someone on DietBet (I didn’t know when I signed up that almost everyone there follows that stupid “container” system. Well someone there swore she knew 4 people who died from keto. I asked for a source. She sent one article about an Indian lady (who had 1 kidney and long standing advanced kidney disease) who died from the kidney disease, and the other “articles” promoting keto- fear were all vegan propaganda 😂 I feel like many people just know so little about keto, and like my mom used to say, a little information is a dangerous thing. Because they think they know… when they are so wrong. Media and propaganda sites always highlight the extremes and they think we are drinking bacon grease smoothies and putting 2 sticks of butter in our coffee . They are shocked (mostly in disbelief) that I eat MORE veg than when I was on the SAD

[@ketotwins]

People really want keto to be bad for your health so they feel better about eating carbs lol 🙈

[@brendablair5899]

Thank you! When I tried eating breakfast I was hungry all day long. The longer I put it off the less hungry I was. You ladies are awesome. So glad I found you. I don't have many around me that think Keto is the way to go. I feel like I'm allergic to carbs. Even in small doses I just don't feel as good as when I DON"T eat them.

[@giselesmith7795]

You both look great...now that I have said that, Sarah, your sweater is really pretty and I like it (very blingy). I have been told that Keto is unhealthy and I will end up with all sorts of problems like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc (It will if you just eat bacon, sausage, eggs and cheese for sure). When I was strictly counting calories, I always told people that the piece of pie, the doughnut, cake, you name it...was not worth the extra calories for me. I had to really love it to make that sacrifice. Now...I don't feel the least bit deprived or restricted on keto. Exercise for weight loss? No. For your health? Yes. Love your take on "advice".

[@monicasosa4488]

Hi guys!!! Love your channel. One myth my mom used to tell me is that if I skipped meals I could get an ulcer, because my stomach acid would have nothing to digest. I lived believing that for a few years until last year. This month I finished a 7 day water fast successfully. Lost 10 lbs. and feel great no ulcer. Praise God!! May the Lord bless you. Big hug for you my lovely twins and keep up the good work. I also live close to Chicago.

[@conniestrickland9771]

Ive lost 110 pounds since January and am 71 years old. Like many others Ive been told its not healthy to eat the way I'm eating. All that fat and meat. Its not good for this that or the other. Then I got, I won't put all those artificial sweetners in MY Body. Does your DR know your doing this. You know its dangerous to stay on this very long. Well, I just had a physical with blood work, and my total cholesterol was 102, my HDL and LDL were perfect. My A1C(sugar) was 5 and on and on. My Dr was both amazed and pleasantly surprised. She said whatever I'm doing just continue to do it. I've not felt this great in a long time and like you this is my lifestyle change forever. Thank you for your videos, your candor and just the adorable and humorous ways you continue to encourage and enlighten those who want to be Keto.

The best advice I've heard/read is from you ladies & Ally McWowie. She said she didn't exercise to lose weight. Her main focus was the Keto diet to lose. Many years later she has incorporated exercise after losing over 100 lbs. I always heard/believed u had to exercise along with diet & was shocked/surprised & happy to hear or better yet give myself permission to diet without exercise. One goal at a time suits me better. I love how honest u ladies are about what works for you. It frees us up to consider all options & choose what works for us ❤

[@hopestarlight3448]

Bravo ladies! The most difficult thing I have to explain to righteous people who are on a low fat, often high sugar, diet who still stuff themselves with carbs is that they are effectively eating sugar! They just don't understand that carbs are turned into sugar for energy by the body... I'm never giving up Keto, it really works for me and it's simple x

[@maryh7134]

Love you both and your passion for keto. Keto works for me.

[@carriejorgenson5361]

I really love this video because I have heard every single bad piece of advice that you mentioned. The one that really gets under my skin at this point in my journey is when people say are you going to not eat sugar and wheat flour for the rest of your life? But they say it in a way that is like a little condescending and that it's unrealistic. Yes. Yes I will eat this way for the rest of my life! For me personally sugar and wheat flour or super inflammatory, I have no control when I consume them, but it was a struggle to remove them from my life but I'm now 18 plus months free of those ingredients. I'm definitely not strict keto but I will tell you my way of eating in general is very low carb. I think it's not high fat enough to be considered keto. But anyway that doesn't matter. I think when people make comments like that it is from a place of being judgmental and feeling like it's unrealistic. I can still enjoy every single bite of food that I eat, live my life, and love preparing meals without those ingredients! To be honest I don't want to ever go back to the old way.

[@janetmcg3086]

Carrie, don’t worry about how much fat you eat. It’s not high fat that makes it keto, it’s keeping carbs low. You don’t need to add fat just for the sake of adding it.

[@psychicgambler9883]

My blood work is 99% better than it was. I definitely feel better. Yes, if you go off, you will gain…I’ve gained 16 back since I went to Vegas…I’m struggling to get this going in the right direction now, but I will. People that say these things, really do not know or understand the struggles, and are completely brain washed by wrong information…to those people, I say, Lump it! 🤬 I know what works for me, and it’s my struggle, and none of their business. I may go off and on occasionally, but that will get me through.

[@MrOldSkoolMan]

Good video. I do think there is a caveat with a stubborn plateau & while in most cases it is likely you are eating more/miscalculating but if you are eating OMAD & am certain you are eating at a large deficit, then the solution is not to fast more or eat less. You will need to slowly increase your calories & even take a short break from IF.

[@stevenmiller461]

I've lost 45 pounds in 5 months just by going low carb, not keto or carnivore and i havent exercised at all.

[@DianAND-5]

I lost 33 pounds on keto in 4 months. I was technically keto, I felt myself get thinner and did before and after pictures. I have 5 kids and they were all supportive along with my husband. I stopped and the next two months slowly lost 7lbs more. I eat healthy 85% of the time and the other 15% is unhealthy food but keto taught my body to stop when i wasn't hungry anymore as I ate. Family said keto is dangerous but my Renpho scale and results on the app don't lie at all. I was unhealthy before eating carbs like there was no tomorrow. I don't work out at all and I hate to say this but everyone who said this to me had high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. 🙄 I will definitely do keto again if the scale goes back up but I got to my goal weight and more. Keto is amazing and I still enjoy y'all's videos and dishes. 🤗💕

[@metaspherz]

I have to admit that a couple of decades ago when I ate two donuts (three?) with a cup of coffee (a pot?) for breakfast, I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. I sometimes even ate less at dinner. All that flour expands in our guts and makes us feel full. Unfortunately, the empty calories also expand our waists! I just started my Keto journey 6 weeks ago and I'm encouraged by The Keto Twins for making such an amazing channel to help me over the hurdles and pitfalls. I cheated a couple of times during these past months, but your informative and entertaining channel with all the delicious recipes keeps me on track now. THANKS!
