I think what helped for me during hunger pains was to take out the word pain and truly feel it as the hunger eating away my fat. I kind of welcomed it at that point 😀

[@ketotwins]

So true Carolyn, I think that people who are hungry off keto experience it differently than people in ketosis! I used to be like “oh I’m so hungry I need to eat right now or I’m going to die” now it’s like “eh, I should probably eat at some point but I’ll be fine either way” lol! -Em

You guys have REALLY helped me on my keto journey. I’ve given up so many times bc I become obsessive over wanting to do it perfectly and I’m just not that person so I fail and give up. You guys being so chill about keto and like you said try to distract yourself instead of focusing so much on food that is great advice. I love your channel ❤

[@heatherbaker3903]

I'm so happy you girls love making videos because I was having a really hard time finding inspiration to get back on the keto train before I found you. Was keto, lost 60 pounds in 5 months, but then had to have my gallbladder out and have put off re-starting because of the way I was doing it the first time around. I counted everything. Every macro and did it all with paper and pen in a note book. My life was a math problem. After watching your videos and learning about your approach to just keep it under 20 grams of carbs and watch the calories, I believe I can do this. Today is the day! Thank you for all your inspiration and tips and thank you for all your videos!

Thanks for answering my question about the 7-10 cups of salad per day and yes it is Dr. Berg who says that. Dr. Berg was the first person I found regarding Keto and I was so happy to find you gals, because of your realistic approach to the Keto lifestyle. I was getting so tired of eating all that salad and so glad to hear that you can still loose weight without having to eat all that salad, yuck, lol.

Thank you for your answer on going up and down within a few pounds on scale..I have been going through some things over last few months and can't seem to lose. Its up one down one, up two etc. I hadn't thought about how much I have achieved (85 lb loss over 2 yrs) . I just beat myself up for not getting the last 50 pounds off. It is an achievement not gaining every week. Thank you again for new way to look at it.

This was really great and I appreciate y'all taking the time to answer all of our questions. I know the newer subscribers probably really enjoyed hearing all your answers and I just find you so gosh darn entertaining you could answer them all over and over and I'd still watch. I low key love that your Mom had a comment for ya and although she may be biased we all agree with her. I totally get what you mean about exercise. I had a weird thing happen on my keto journey where people in the fitness community started following along and "accidentally tricked me" into fitness and now I'll be walking a 5k at the end of May for charity. Some people don't think that's much and I haven't worked all the way up to 5k yet, but after dropping over 80 pounds on Keto a flip just switched and I was ready to do it. I'm so excited to see what y'all come up with for the rest of the year. I don't know where you get so much inspiration, but I'm happy to steal it from you for my own journey. LOL Thanks again for sharing and I hope you both have a great weekend!

Hey! I love you guys so much. So genuine & sweet. I have a question though. Sarah, doing OMAD while going to work- isn’t it harder to get through the day? I look forward to my lunch break that not eating during it makes my day longer and more miserable lol.

[@ketotwins]

Hey! Not really, I usually go out and get an iced coffee if I feel like I need something. I usually sat with my co-workers and just chat with them. It takes practice and it’s just something I got use to! -Sarah

[@jax_08]

I tried the LMNT electrolytes and really enjoyed them. They are kind of pricey so I was determined to create my own! I mixed the watermelon Kool aid mix (zero carbs, some are not), pink himalayan sea salt, cream of tartar (thank you, Thomas Delauer) and a little bit of monk fruit. 🤩 Not a bad dupe!

We like keto focus, all day I dream about food, etc! Honestly when you make so much keto content and you do that for 40 hours a week you need to change it up or everything is about keto all the time. Sarah and I mainly watch gardening videos on KZbin lol! -Em

[@logan1572]

Per your instructions, I watched both Ask Us Anything videos to see if my upcoming question had been asked. Nope. BTW, these videos are fantastic. My question is regarding using the single egg white only in your latest, more preferred chaffle recipe. I recall it was to lessen the egg taste. Did it have any other impact on the chaffle? Not one to do much in the kitchen and can't stand to waste anything, have ya'll ever tried (holding my nose) Egg Beaters, liquid egg whites, etc in chaffles? Years ago I ate them daily and never liked them. But I was on a mission therefore taste was of no consequence. Can't wait for my chaffle maker to arrive. Thanks.

[@ketotwins]

Yes we recently bought a carton of egg whites specifically for chaffle making now! It’s great, I’ve actually never bought them before! The less moisture the crispier the chaffle! -Em

[@theastewart6721]

You’re welcome! By the way, I gave up drinking coffee many years ago and my energy level is on a nice even keel. I buy decaf diet soda, which I should give up. The only time I have caffeine is when I order a diet soda at a restaurant. It’s very liberating! My husband drinks it so we have all the equipment. I’m never tempted.

[@theastewart6721]

Update: We gave up the diet soda. We now drink Zevia but a lot less. We will still get a diet soda occasionally out to dinner but have had water a few times now. We are so pleased with ourselves!😂😂 You girls are SO encouraging! I think Dr. Berg is awesome and I would love to eat his way but sometimes one has to indulge. And if it means having a sausage pizza crust or a egg yolk pudding that keeps us in keto then so be it! So thank you both for keeping it real! 💞

[@lf4193]

I love that you explain calories matter, all macros fit into your daily calorie limit. People you cannot lose weight if you are eating too much. I too cut out creamer in my coffee and I have to eat much less then I did before. I see a lot of tic too videos showing some yummy food but G loaded with cheese, super high calories

OVER 20k~ WooHoo YOU TWO!! That's awesome =) Hey, I have some (possibly) awesome help for the coffee decrease, only because I needed to do the same- errgghh. I know you said you don't have a Keurig, but seriously, if you do decide to get one it actually serves a few purposes; first is that it makes coffee more of an intense "thing"/event/expense- although I do get amazing deals on the 2 best coffees in the entire world. Which brings me to the next one, & that is "Maude's Tall, Dark & Handsome" Decaf. Not kidding, THE best decaf coffee, hands down, I've had in my life~ & I have had a LOT. I never thought I would actually find one that did the same thing for me- taste/pleasure wise, as regular coffee. I was wrong- joyfully. Also, after years of being a Tully's fan, then a few more years trying to top that, I found out that "Newman's Own Special Blend" is THE best regular coffee in the whole world! Who knew? I'd been walking by it for years, no way would I buy it because it's labeled as a medium roast coffee. One more thing, Keurig machines are cheap now, even brand new. The last one I bought was also nearly brand new, @the Goodwill, for $9~ it's our travel keurig. We get our coffee on amazon, each of them work out to about $.27-.32 cents a cup, & it's worth every single penny. Never thought I'd be a keurig person either, but I've never looked back. I'd buy cheap toilet paper first- if I had to choose=) Ok, as usual, that was very long-winded, but I feel deeply & strongly about the coffee aspect of my life. Not a coffee snob- by any means- but I love my dang coffee. That's it. Hope something in all this jabber helps .=)
