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.

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]

@@HeavenlyFan Sure working for you! You are a gorgeous messenger. Thanks. I have your wonderful, generous posts to go back over.

[@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!

[@christinechristianson8783]

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

[@MarydToKeto]

I totally agree that keto is the first time I have felt in control of my weight too. It's an odd feeling for sure

[@melindamercier6811]

Agree. As someone on the verge of an eating disorder, it brought order back into my life without making me obsessive over it. I about lost hope that I could ever eat intuitively before keto. Now for me, the overall health benefits outweigh even the weight management benefits.

[@MarydToKeto]

@@melindamercier6811 Yes, 100% Weight loss is the side effect of having a manageable appetite. I'm so grateful to have found keto as well

[@CalmVibesVee]

Same. Almost 4yrs here. It has been a miracle for me. I still can’t believe it effects so many areas of my life. I’m maintaining 125 at 50yrs old. Fat loss has been great, not having migraines, great mental health, I could go on and on. It’s freeing to not be hungry all the time. Appetite control is amazing.

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

[@MyMlittleFriends]

@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.

[@irisk4168]

I'm on healthy keto for almost 4 years, so I really get you. I'm not a scale person. I just found out your French Fries and I read it and made it instantly. It took years after trial and error of trying to make keto versions of french fries. I did all versions of low carb keto friendly greens, they just didn't made my cut. And last Saturday I found yours. My husband and I were flabbergasted.... I shared it on my Instagram account and FB account and everybody wanted the HOW. I mentioned your site, because I believe in credits where credits are due. So thank you from the bottom of our heart. This is the one!!! Thank you. P.S. I prefer the almond meal version over the coconut meal.... Love Love it!!! #withmuchgratitude

[@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.

[@nooranen3178]

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

[@luluxxxpr]

@@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.

[@TA-mr3pe]

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.

Not hiding from negative thoughts in the past . Your programme rang lots of bells with me . I have transformed my attitude to food types as a former carb addict that now runs towards FATS and hey presto like magic I am satisfied all the time . I lost about 28% of my body weight and have now settled after 6 months of shedding stored reserves . Along with the weight loss went every single pain I had . also I practice intermittent fasting which makes me optimistic about having a healthy old age . So a huge thank you.

I put on a stone in lockdown 1.0 and the shock made me start keto again. I'm 2 stone down goingin to lockdown 2.0 and plan to keep going.

[@danihart3515]

Same. I was already heavier than I wanted to be going in to lockdown 1.0, I put on quite a bit in lockdown, I don’t know how much because I didn’t have scales at home but probably 10lb. I started Keto for the first time around July. I’ve lost approx 2 stone, making me about 8lb heavier than my ideal. I’ve noticed that my shape has changed, I still have some stubborn fat around the middle but this is probably an age related change as I’m now approaching 50 and the last time I was my ideal was in my late 30s. Still have some awesome clothes I’m trying to get back in to. My husband has joined me in this Keto journey, he was a self confessed carb addict and has a lot more to lose than me. He’s lost about 2 stone and has another 3 or 4 to go. Fingers crossed!

[@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.

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!

This is my personal battle, not someone else's and my numbers will be irrelevant to most other people. Thanks again!

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.

[@chichestermaritime8174]

Thank you for your fabulous channel, great recipes and quiet, sensible advice. We started keto about a year ago when my husband was diagnosed with diabetes and my blood glucose was rising year by year. The amazing weight loss was incredible and to date he has dropped around 7 inches (18cm) on his waistline and me about 4 inches. His hba1c is now normal and he no longer feels hungry all the time. Neither do I. For 50 years I have been a home baker but since keto I am free of the responsibility to make bread, cakes and all the rest that everyone came to expect from me. That's very liberating! It has taught me to eat to live rather than live to eat and I'm learning to eat when my body wants rather than what the clock says. A huge thank you. There is one downside - we both need a new wardrobe of smaller clothes :)

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.

[@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.

[@brendatuttle8722]

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.

Hi Ruth, our bodies are so unique individually and our journey to healing through keto would be very different. I'm so glad you stuck with it and listened to your instinct.

Wow. You have articulated my journey and thoughts regarding keto -100%! It’s like you are in my head. I too have been doing keto for two years and you have hit it on the head - body regulates, sustainability, etc. etc.... Don’t test blood or ketones, don’t count carbs - high level principles. I weigh every day too. I have mental freedom and know I will do this for the rest of my life. Just ran into your channel recently and love it. Keep up the great content! Thank you... Made the fries tonight and my family flipped out!!

[@dianedolansky3225]

Enjoyed your sensible approach, altho I'm not vegan. Your wise words about listening to our bodies, not being overly concerned with rules and macros (except as part of the learning curve) hit home. I agree about finding a lifestyle - keto works for me but may not be for everyone.

[@aligrinney3291]

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

[@vanceguerena8889]

An amazing discussion. Very touching and insightful. Thanks a lot.

[@PattyMoreta]

Loved it!💕💕💕 I share a lot of your way of thinking. Knowledge is power! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. Keep them coming 😁😁😁

[@ramonaklasen4486]

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.

[@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

I've been a vegan for year now I was a little dismayed with wieght lossafter embracing keto my liver function came right for the first time in my life losing a kilo every three days thank you for your videos

[@kst4878]

I've been vegan for years and wanted to try a keto diet that aligns with my values but it had been hard until I found your channel. These videos have been SO helpful and inspirational. Thank you!

[@bambip48]

Thank you for all your tips in maintaining your weight loss, strength and well being. I also weigh myself daily and use that as my guide as to how my body is functioning. Your eating and food philosophy makes a lot of sense. Love your honesty and sharing your ideas. Lots of love, Bambi XX

You are right, I do not measure my keto nor sugar level. My body tells me my condition, I feel much more energetic and lost weight, which tells me that keto is good to me. This is it. I tried keto for about eight months, I am so adapted to it, I do sometimes went out of the keto ways such as alcohol or having some very good bread (honestly they are very tempting as I was a breadholic 😋), I would say I will continue going on keto.

[@louisebakerlifeandwellness3391]

Nice video, thank you. Exactly like you, I don't count any macros or calories and just focus on sticking to keto/low carb content

[@realtorgabrielabrokerboots6451]

Love your recipes!

[@pinayvegan2160]

Been vegan for more than 3yrs. Started keto 3 days ago. Then I found your channel! I’ve watched your videos everyday since.

[@dianaboughner7977]

I just love your videos 💖 Thank you for sharing all of your healthy wisdom and delicious recipes. As the global community evolves we need to encourage others to discover and live their healthiest lives because this benefits everyone ultimately.

[@HeavenlyFan]

Totally agreed x

[@KarenRhoads-d8e]

Thank you- this has been very moving and inspirational.

I've just turned 68 and have struggled with keeping my weight down since I left the Army some 44 years ago. I gradually increased my weight from a lean 150 pounds to just over 200 pounds. I tried various "diets" but like you found it very difficult to maintain the will power needed to stay on track...until now. I have been on a Keto diet combined with intermittent fasting for just over 3 months and have lost 45 pounds. I have to say that it has been relatively easy and the intermittent fasting was happening because I just didn't feel as hungry. I've looked into the science behind it and have not been surprised that the food and pharmaceutical industries have played such a large part in the way our dietary guidelines have been constructed. I so agree with your comments and admire your overall psychology. I feel as though this is not so much a diet but a new way of eating, where you make decisions about what food you eat based on science and not be influenced by adverts and media that clearly are misrepresentative about high sugar and carbohydrate foods. Thanks for your content.

[@livinlowcarblowfat]

I will be trying them soon girlfriend! I' am binge watching your videos today!!

[@helenholt7022]

Love It and thanks for introducing keto through your personal experience!

[@marydd4147]

I only weigh weekly and do not do all the ketone and blood sugar testing, and I don't count calories or macros - that would make me feel like its a diet vs a way of eating. I feel better (after figuring out keto flu) and have lost weight! Love your videos!

[@jenc7664]

I find your recipes super delicious and your videos very helpful. Thank you for your hard work making these wonderful videos for us. Been a long time subscriber.

[@Anne-FromQc]

I have been on a plateau for over a month after 20 months of clean keto and down 50lbs. I am sometimes really discouraged but I stick to it. I know it has to do with menopause and new job and stress...

[@shirleyclynch3132]

Thank you so much for this video! I do believe the universe open the doors when is the right time and I think it was meant for me to look at this video! It does make sense to me and I will start keto food plan properly next week! I’m pescatarian and no dairy, no gluten. Thank you

[@isabelwaters4431]

..Hello, your outlook on your Keto experience totally describes what I've been looking for several years. You are my heavenly friend (I am your feng shui fan)....enjoyed so much the spring onion pancakes recipe, and wonder if they can be refrigerated several days to safely share with others?

[@munsonfamily]

OMG THE FRIES!!!!!! GAME. CHANGER!!! Those are gonna help my mom who's still missing some of those non-keto foods!!... I've learned to live without, but it's also fun to have a different kinda treat every now and then... anyway. i could not belive how much they really ( LIKE REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLY) were like fries!!! WAY better than any other recipe I've tried - and yah, I''ve tried ALOT... dipping sauce is key, and FRY them (in beef tallow or avocado oil) don't bake them!... my own teenagers wouldn't know the difference between these and 'real' fries made of icky potato!! thank you thank you thank you!!!... also yah i totally get the bad relationship with my body. I've always referred to her as a separate entity than myself, because she truly was my biggest enemy for 40+ years!! We're learning to be friends now ;)

[@01824MAYZ]

Loved your keto fry recipes, also tried the coconut flour version. Delicious👍👍👍. Thank you so much!!! Will make it again😀

[@kathleenritchie8216]

This is great to know how you have got on. And Vegan Keto too! Amazing! As I think I am better with veg than lotsa meat. I haven't long started and already my BP has come down slightly. I certainly am not hungry and fast between 6pm and 10am or even 12pm. I eat 2 meals a day. Am sure I will see great results soon as I need lose a few pounds! Thank you so much! Really enjoy your progs!

[@Kiko.....1008..]

oh I forgot, you muffin recipe is also great. I do it every week
