I guess I'm weird. 🤷‍♀️ The looming threat of a migraine has kept me from having standard American diet foods. I've made a keto version and brought it with me when I thought stuff would tempt me at a gathering. Amazingly...now none of it even tempts me. Me??? Not diving into ALL the breads and sweets??? 🤯 Be patient, folks out there. It will happen...

[@meh_lady]

Exact same here! I’ve found it surprisingly easy to work around it. When I was in weight loss mode (in maintenance now) my treat was to eat however much I wanted. Also surprisingly, I didn’t want a ton more than usual! It was probably a mind trick I unknowingly made on myself. 😂

[@sarahkirbach5040]

Really? Wow….if only! That’s amazing that that’s happens for you, lots of hard work I’m sure!

[@stevendunn264]

I cook 1-3 lbs of bacon a week. If I am meeting friends for Taco Tuesday I snack on 3 or 4 pieces of bacon before leaving. I go and order fajitas (eat only meat and veg) and a water with lime and I am fine. It really works.

[@pollyhorlander7389]

I get the beans and guacamole, too. And eat the green sauce and queso with a spoon, no chips.I never feel deprived doing that.

[@rosalindolson8688]

I heard Jason Fung say that if he eats poorly around the holidays, he implements one or more prolonged fasts to help reverse some of the damage. Your strategies are GREAT as well. And you nailed it-it's not realistic to be keto every day for the rest of your life. So let's do whatever it takes to not fall completely off the bandwagon!!

[@RandomKeto]

I'm planning on making my favorite dishes keto: Yeast Rolls Bread Stuffing Ham I'm making enough for me on Thanksgiving *and* leftovers. Plus some kind of dessert, like mock apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. I don't trust myself enough to go off keto, not even for one day.

[@osoniye4209]

Do you have keto recipes for all those things?

[@khill6510]

I love that you two want to help people. I love your tips. I just celebrated my 65 birthday and watched everyone eat birthday cake and ice cream and I was fine. I was tempted, but I was fine. 🙂

Yes! *Always* eat before going! I have baked chicken drumsticks in my fridge at all times so I can even eat them in the car on the way and be full.

I can't fall off I'm diabetic and there are consequences. Keep at it. You can do it. Make your favorite dish keto version.

[@loretta6089]

"Drinking can lead to poor decisions" 😂😂😂 you can say that again 😂😂😂. I love the tip about eating something before you go somewhere. Last year I decided to go off keto for a week between Christmas and New Year and the entire week I obsessed about all the carb filled foods that I wanted to eat that week. I actually made a list because I didn't want to forget anything. I was acting like all these food were about to disappear off the face of the earth 🙄 and if I didn't eat them all u would never be able to have them again 😅. Well all those foods still exist (unfortunately ). I won't ever do that again. I gained 10lbs 😡

[@Moogiereads]

Wow, does that resonate. I have always had that feeling of "those" foods disappearing before I could eat them. Now, I hope these tips and intermittent fasting will help me avoid temptation and recover afterwards.

[@nancyjackson2279]

You always have such sage and timely advice. By the grace of God I lost 107lbs 5 yrs ago and have kept it off. I really wish you were around then because keto was still fairly new with not a lot of success stories yet. And it was HARD! So I hope people take your advice to heart. It will keep a joyfull season from turning into regret and anger that they could have avoided. Take care ladies. Until next time....

[@lesliebooth2833]

I appreciate y’all for this and what a perfect time to address it!! Thank you for the grace comments as well! I did GREAT last Thanksgiving and much thanks to you and the Keto YT family!! I made all my own traditional foods that I knew my family would have that I knew I couldn’t have. I made nearly all ahead of time, some I could freeze and thaw just before, some I made bits and parts ahead and put it together the night before but it was all so satisfying and even more so knowing I was staying Keto! I made my own cran jelly and it was amazingly good (and made a bunch so I could have it on Keto toast, and with PBJs etc)! I made my own stuffing and though not quite as good as my Nana’s recipe, it was absolutely as satisfying! I did pumpkin AND pecan pie desserts, I was absolutely happy and did NOT stray from Keto! I even made some snacky type foods bc there is a whole bunch of grazing that goes on in my family before the actual meal happens! It was always my responsibility to bring the sweet potato casserole (strudel topping for me, marshmallow for my brother) and I did make it but using something else (for me) and it escapes me now what, I will have to go back and look, but it was super good, I do remember that!! Yeah, making dupes and ketofying the traditional recipes is not hard, maybe a little work, but totally easy to prep ahead of time!!! We can DO this, thanks alot to do with YOUR support and encouragement and your ever-wonderful recipes, hints, and tips vids!!!

[@KKJ_author]

I was going to say basically the same things. 🙂 My extended family celebrates Christmas Eve at one of my siblings' bigger houses. This year, I'm going to take some stuff everyone will like. But - since I can't have the meal my sister always brings (fried chicken and dumplings and gravy), I'm going to bring my own fried chicken, and keto biscuits and gravy. I'll probably also tuck a snack bag of keto sweets in my purse in case I get a craving for something I shouldn't have. I don't care if everyone likes it or not. They're family. I don't like a lot of things they do, lol. It might be different at a dinner party with friends, but real friends shouldn't be bothered if you have to bring your own food - as long as you keep it close to what everyone else would be having.

[@sharenwilde24]

I did the same last year and was surprised how good all the dupes came out: cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, gravy, etc. the only fail was oyster dressing which was more like pudding, but still tasted good. (the next day I added cream and nut milk to make oyster stew out of it)

[@lesliebooth2833]

@@sharenwilde24 That sounds interesting. I’ve only ever had smoked oysters out of the can and fried oysters and I love both (not to be confused with oyster fries-no thank you). Never tried or even seen oyster dressing. Must not be a Texas thing, or just not a “my family” thing! LOL! We made jellied cran sauce today and it is just SO good!!! This vid is what prompted me to go dig in the depths of the freezer to find them!! My son-in-law made it and did a terrific job using my recipe, but I was sad that he threw away the cran carcasses! I made craisins with them last year and that was pretty terrific in salads!!!

It’s been since last year and I was just making it up as I went even then, but it was really delicious, both the jellied cran sauce and the “craisins” that were created as an afterthought.

In the coming couple of months, I will spend TOO MANY days around children wanting me to eat their "special" personally decorated cookies! Photographer's LOVE the trying to bait Santa with cookies! For me, it is not the fear falling off the low-carb wagon to stay away from a high carb meal, it is a simple thought that cannot go back to my pre-keto weight (which would NOW be 150 pounds heavier), I would probably also be on the diabetes meds, the blood pressure meds, and all the other meds I have been taken off since the weight loss. Plain and simple, I don't have the money to weigh that much any more!! *grin* Cheaper in the long run to stay "Technically Keto," continue enjoying my new-found tribe!

Hi! Great video. Holidays can be tricky, that's for certain. Having Crohn's disease, there isn't anyway I would be tempted. Pain is a real good motivator. So I have thrifted around for the cutest little travel containers, and fill them with keto/carnivore things I can have and enjoy them. The fun thing is that my grandchildren love to come and see what gramma has and of course they need to sample some, (I always pack extra), especially my gelatin, and we have a great time. Down in my heart I'd love to eat with the rest of the family, but basically it's a matter of acceptance. 🍗

[@bevstaats]

Spoil your appetite! Love this! Thankful that my family does not push food. I eat Turkey, green beans, raw veggies and pickles at Thanksgiving.

Good, common sense advice. I have a bite or two if I want it but it doesn't always taste that good.

[@ChandanaCTV]

hello ladies, I feel like everything you guys said is so true. recently in September there was an Indian festival, i was traveling. i told myself i deserve to enjoy the culture of the local place, i had a full carb filled meal. I didn't go back to eating keto next meal. i thought everything i could before before i started keto. the emotional aspect to it. i had even enjoyed bday meal in July. again, this time i was more emotionally vulnerable, it took me almost a month to feel like eating keto is the only way. i constantly kept thinking about what carb filled meal i could eat, it's the nostalgia, that these foods once filled a void in me. i had gained about good 10-12 pounds. not to mention, being on carbs i feel sluggish, shitty mood. After being on keto since April 2021, this is the first time this has happened. i feel bit disgusted to think how obsessed carbs make me and it's almost like i have no will power or control. also insulin spikes are no joke. sugar affects our moods, harmones everything. i recently did a 72 hour fast, lost 3 pounds. dads bday comes, had a few sips of beers, 1 or 2 bites of rice. knew had to go back to fasting and then keto immediately. 36 hours fast later. had a meal. again daily 16-20 hours fast. carbs is really an addiction for me. i wish i knew this earlier. only being on keto for so long has shown me how right food can make me feel. Keto & low carb is the way to go for me in my life. ♥️💫 lost about 14kgs on keto, 30+ kgs entire life. i love that i have you guys on this journey with me. happy holidays!

[@katarinastrom4193]

Thank you for this video ❤ im going to an all inclusive hotel in the maldives in march, first I was thinking to go of keto for the first time in months, now I think it’s probably best to keep it as low carb as possible. I don’t want to feel bad when I paid so much for a holiday, best to keep it keto as much as possible ❤

[@agolfiend]

They will have meats and cheeses you can eat. I take some of my own bread choices (I make them) and desserts , I make ahead. Many cookies, and things like zucchini breads keep well for me. I hope you have a fun time and come out in the end very happy with your choices! And maybe even a couple of pounds lighter! I have had that happen. Vyci(Ron’s wife)

[@keto-ish1256]

All excellent advice! I think of every day as being keto/carnivore, so even if I had something (today it was a samosa) the rest of the day is going to be keto. That wasn't my mentality before, if I had one thing off diet, the entire day was shot. I think that when you change your thinking to "I'm going to do this for the rest of my life", you stop having those days. Not that you'll never have temptations again, but things get a little easier.

[@TracieClaiborne]

yes!!!!! That's me too! I eat one meal a day basically so if I eat some fries, then the rest of the day is carnivore and the next day is salad and meat only. We have to learn to stop flipping out and falling completely off the wagon.

[@TracieClaiborne]

I'm sorry to be mean but there is absolutely no excuse for anyone who is actively trying to lose weight to have a high carb meal other than ON THE ACTUAL HOLIDAY. There's just not, they do it because they're weak. I'm having carbs at my one meal on Thanksgiving and the day after because we always make enough food to feast for days. Then I will eat carbs on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I will go right back to Keto the rest of the days surrounding those and I know I can because that's how I've lived all year. I just cannot imagine working my ass off all year to lose weight and then being like, "well I'm just gonna take the holidays off." I mean that cracks me up and makes me sad at the same time! This is a very important video! So glad you made it! ----- oh and PS: DON'T EAT SUGAR PEOPLE!! You'll have to detox again! Even if you make a regular dessert, use Swerve or Allulose, not refined sugar!

[@cynthiaa7030]

The last several years I’ve been doing keto Thanksgiving. This year since I’ve turned carnivore and lost over 20 pounds because I gained it at two vacations I have a different plan. I’m not doing the traditional cauliflower mash I’m just making my protein sparing modified bread which I must say is the best recipe and making stuffing and having gravy made with xanthum gum. I probably won’t be doing the sweet potatoes either but my protein sparing modified rolls are going to be epic. I am going to try even harder this year than I have ever before. I gained so much weight by March I was back up into a 16 and now I am back into a 12 and I have a pair of tens I’ve been trying to get into for six years that I can now where. My favorite is pumpkin pie that is my problem. Mashed potatoes are not my problem rolls are probably up there but pumpkin pie that’s my jam

What’s easy for you is difficult for many others :)

Unfortunately there are parties, office potlucks and other holiday gatherings to navigate. One holiday meal is easy - 10 are not.

yes!! it's never one meal...it becomes a run away train.

I don't do it often but I will eat a little cornbread, dressing( here in the South we eat cornbread and biscuit dressing). It hasn't thrown me yet.

I've got that same binging attitude. I planned to stay keto while I was on vacation. I brought keto food with us on the drive. But when I got there....well, my family loves to push and I'm a push-over! I'm really afraid as the holidays start. I will try my best and still give myself grace, but I plan to stay keto and not fall off. On another note, I find my biggest challenge is boredom eating. I have a "sit down" job. I'm not hungry, I don't even want the food, but I'll eat it because for some reason, when I sit, I have to put something in my gape. I could use some help with this. Any suggestions?

You could drink water but that’s no fun lol, fidget spinner? Gum perhaps?

Make a “popcorn” bowl of diced celery, half a small carrot diced, jicama, and raw cauliflower. Season with Everything But The Bagel seasoning and nibble away. Sometimes just a few celery slices will kill the desire for something crunchy and salty. No one ever got fat on celery. 😊

Right! Wow! Everything my Grandmother and Mother taught me was wrong. Clean plate club. Eat your crust. Poor things, they didn't know. They didn't have the info that we have now. I wish I had of know everything I know now so many years ago. It's so hard to change MY mind set from my loving mom and grandmother, who only wanted me to be healthy. They were taught margerine, safflower oil was good, 6 meals a day. Everything wrong!!! WHY??? They both as well as my other grandmother, my husband's mom... all died of cancer! Hmmmm. ?? I have to change. I started IF/Keto hard in April. My life has changed. If only we had that information years years years ago. My mom would still be here with my dad who misses her so much. Funny the bad took the females. My grandfather's died of old age and loneliness. My Dad is so healthy and misses my mom to the point of , well I can't explain. Why all my female mother figures died in the manner they did (cancer) I don't get. ? What did they do that the male figures didn't do?? My mom was ALWAYS on a diet. She went to doctors for help. I never saw her eat wrong. Except for doctor approved 6 meals a day, margerine instead of bad butter, no eggs. All the good stuff her doctor told her. Its all crazy. If only she were here now. 😪 I am new to this and I have lost 44lbs just this year. I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF THE HOLIDAY THAT ARE COMING!!!! I love food! ❤️ I am going to take it day by day. I made it all summer. I can make it through the holidays. I have to! Watching you and having all the new info I have learned now, everyday!!! I will make it through!! THANK YOU!

You can do it Tammy!!
