Video Podcast #21 - Channel/Website Status, Ketofying Recipes and Annoying Comments

[@ChristineLV]

Yay for 2020!!! And - "professional" photos are nice, but clear photos that show food that is from a "real" home kitchen also says a lot to everyday people.

[@cassieoz1702]

Oh yes. I like pics of 'real food'. Also love that you show the internal texture of things like buns or chaffles. Too many keto sites show you the pretty outsides but, if they don't show me the inside, I assume it's likely solid and stodgy.

[@timapple9580]

Just some feedback from 1 viewer?: Do not change anything about your recipe videos. They are perfect to me. I subscribed because your recipe videos are short and on topic to your description, to the point *thumbs up* I've made more recipes learned from serious keto than any other youtuber for that reason. The Video podcast are fun and I like too, I guess what I'm saying is always keep them separated

[@Azreale]

Steve I ordered the same corn dog maker, dash waffle maker, dash griddle, the same ice trays, same stevia maple, all because of your videos! I’m inspired, but right now I’m on my 2nd day of extended prolonged fast, gonna fast for 7 days! Been on keto over 7 months & ive lost close to 80lbs! Thanks to u! 🤘🏼👏🤣

[@SeriousKeto]

Congrats on your progress. I'm glad I could help.

[@nancycurtis3964]

Tips learned from my media-professional husband: lighting makes the shot, audio is critical, and you must tell a good story. You have not grievously offended anyone here, because, we're back!! For a one-man production crew, IT department, and organizational magnate you're doing a fine job. :)

Yep, just popped up when search for chaffles several months ago.

[@norinefoley9043]

Yup. That's me!

[@maeverlylilith9295]

Sooooo glad things are stabilizing! Just recently, like yesterday, mentioned this channel as one of my 3 “go-to-s” for Keto recipes. And I just found you only about a month ago. Keep going, Steve!!!

[@butchoward24]

Steve thanks for your channel. I’ve been keto for about 2 years and my wife who’s a foodie has started leaning toward keto because of your channel. Thank you so much for what your doing it’s needed

[@l.k.troiani304]

Congratulations on the success of your channel. You have a very pleasing persona & voice. Your message is beneficial. Please stay genuine, don't let the financial success of your channel take precedence over the interests of your viewership. Waiting for your recipe book.

[@scrogginssnapshots8916]

I really like the idea of the app and I think it would be very beneficial to all of us who try to find ways to ketofy normal recipes. As for the Anthony's link, personally it doesn't help me. I drive close to 500 miles a day so I have access to tons of different stores and when I need something I can usually find it rather than ordering. I only order things if I absolutely cant find it anywhere else. On the channel, I definitely dont want to lose the opportunity to watch it. There are A LOT of channels I watch at times and really enjoy, but yours is the only one I actually contribute to. Something about the way you do things and your honesty has earned it, and is 100% worth it to me.

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you.

[@dyrinn45]

Hey Steve! Glad to hear the channel is growing. I watch 6 or 7 different keto channels and I can say, without a doubt, you are the most engaging. I am also a corporate trainer and you can see your years of experience coming through every video. I comment on almost every video just to feed the algorithm. Have a happy 4th.

[@markeboy1658]

I would totally buy your e-cookbook . The work you put into this channel really shows. And has been a contributing factor in me getting healthier .

[@jamesewanchook2276]

Hi Steve, very good channel and getting better all the time. Thanks for talking about all the behind the scenes effort that goes into the show. Cheers from Vanoouver!

[@beckylosh-north8857]

I love everything about your channel. You explain everything so easily and makes it easy to understand for those of us that are new to this. Thank You and keep doing what you're doing!

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you so much!

[@CuttoothsRoom]

Another fantastic podcast! Great news about being able to continue with your channel. The recipes you convert and the time you put into getting it just right definitely shows...of all the keto cooking channels I watch, you’re the best with ketofying a recipe by far. Another thing you mentioned in this podcast is working on a cookbook in the future and possibly using viewer submitted photos of your recipes, if and when you do start doing this, I’ll be happy to submit photos if you need some. I’ve been a photographer for over 20 yrs (mostly land/seascaptes though) but have also done product/food photography. Keep up the great work!

[@SeriousKeto]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@magsm.9305]

Love your channel. I am always tweaking recipes or Keto-fying them. Your chaffle comparison video got me through my early days of keto because you showed me a version that tasted great. This got me to go back to doing what I did with all "regular" recipes, I "doctor" them. So now I doctor my favorite recipes to be Keto friendly. (I'm sure that it was a "duh" moment, but I was so focused on just eating Keto that I lost sight of my ability to improvise. Now I improvise with keto ingredients.) Thank you!

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm so glad!

[@nadogrl]

Ok, my heart almost couldn’t take the suspense. 😳 I am SO happy that you are able to continue for now, and I will do all that I can to support your success. You are a welcome addition to my life (hope that wording doesn’t sound strange.). Your voice is so calming and soothing. All of your content (hard work) is very much appreciated. I’m not on other social media, except FB, and then rarely, so YT is a wonderful resource for me. Thank you!🥩

[@gregwasmuth2924]

My wife and I have become addicted to your broadcasts. Loved what you had to say about our hero, Jason Fung. Also loved your journey to where you are today. Your approach to the keto possibilities in good recipes is fabulous. Keep up the serious work of making the journey rich and exciting.

[@SeriousKeto]

Wow, thank you! 🙂

[@VyvyanTheGreat]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and love it. There's just a certain relaxed, friendly, and inviting vibe you give off in all of your videos that make me want to watch. Great work and hope that 100k comes soon!

[@SeriousKeto]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@andreaf5497]

Steve, I look forward to all of your videos. I love watching your recipe videos. They get me excited about cooking, trying new things, and tweaking old recipes to make them keto friendly. I really enjoy listening to these podcasts as well. I appreciate your honesty and humor. I'm glad you're going to be able to keep the channel going so I can keep watching. I am looking forward to the day you are able to release a cookbook.

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you. I know the recipes have been coming a little more slowly lately. That's been largely due to dealing with some website issues and my desire to get as close to perfect as I can get. We'll get back to 2+ recipes per week soon.

[@belizeguy]

Glad all seems to be going well for you. I really love this Channel, and the recipes you share. Thanks for all you are doing for us.

[@SeriousKeto]

While I got you here. Does culantro grow best in heat and sun or cool and shade?

[@belizeguy]

Cilantro is an awesome garden plant, but if it is too hot and too sunny, I find it goes to seed very fast. Mulch it to keep its feet cooler. Often I will plant a box full and start a second box as soon as the plants get more than 8 inches tall. Nothing like fresh!

[@SeriousKeto]

I thought culantro and cilantro were two different plants.

[@belizeguy]

​@@SeriousKeto Opps! They are! We do not use Culantro that much here, the exception being in Sofrito, and I even buy that prepackaged from the local market. The Islands use it a bunch. Must be easy to grow. I am heading into Merida tomorrow, and I will see if I can find some and experiment with it! Thanks.

[@katieirish5765]

I've been watching your videos since the beginning. I thought that you were a chef! Or that you were a former chef because of your well rounded approach to the recipes. I could tell you put a lot of thought and work into developing them and the presentations were so thorough and enjoyable. I appreciate all the research you do, plus the affects that you get on your BS from most of the recipes & products. Your channel has helped me & my husband so much. We are grateful to you!

[@SeriousKeto]

I remember -- you were one of my earliest regular commentors. Thanks for sticking around. 🙂

[@tsimkins1960]

Steve, I enjoy your videos and your website. My husband now watches them with me. We love your no-nonsense approach. I appreciate your website and how your recipes are to the point. You're right, I don't want to scroll through a bunch of text or close a bunch of annoying popups to get to what I came for; the recipe. Normally, my comments are things like "I tried this and it was so good!" or similar. Not the "keto police" or any of that. Your melty cheese and white bread chaffles are my go-tos. Keep on doing what you do. I'll keep watching!

[@SeriousKeto]

I'll definitely keep doing what I'm doing. Thanks for watching. 🙂👍

[@Local6News]

*My wife and I stumbled onto Steve's Serious Keto channel, watch it regularly and we LOVE IT! Since going Keto in late February / early March and under Steve's tutelage I've lost 32 lbs., am off my meds and my wife has lost 27 lbs. and her blood numbers are fantastic. We're now Keto fanatics and enjoy ALL of Steve's videos and advice. We have an ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL recipe for Zucchini muffins that are to die for. Maybe Steve can profile it.*

[@janed3863]

Thanks, Steve. I really enjoy your "talks". Very educational. You are so candid and humble. Interesting to hear about your plans. Would sure like an ebook. You channel is so refreshingly different from all the others.

So nice of you to say. Thank you. 😊

[@susanhenkel2103]

You are one of few keto channels that I watch, I belong to 7+ groups that I definitely feel comfortable directing posters to your site. You are "real"! I had read that to help support the videos, is to leave the ads runs.

I'm glad to be part of your Monday morning routine. 😊

[@carolynashcraft9380]

Interesting info regarding running a uTube channel. I too, have my binders of recipes along with several cookbooks. Before I make most anything, I research a number of like recipes and figure out the best one to try or combine a couple to make what I think is going to be the absolute best. I think that’s why I gravitated to your recipes, I feel like you’ve already put in every effort to do that. I made your mayonnaise the other day with my immersion blender. It was so easy, I can’t imagine why I would ever need to buy store bought again! (Only 1 ! ). Thank You.

[@angelabrant2725]

So thankful you're able to continue the channel. I'd be lost without your channel and you, so glad I accidentally found your channel. Looking forward to the future of channel, website update, and cookbook. Keep on ketofy ing

Hi, Steve! I appreciate your honesty regarding comments. So many creators don't take the time to explain how to interact successfully.

[@SeriousKeto]

I appreciate that! I'd like to think that's one of the things that differentiates my channel from some of the others where they don't spend time responding to comments. I'm sure that none of the people who routinely post the sort of comments I describe in this podcast are from the sort of people who would watch/listen to my podcast. 😉

[@SimpleTruthsWork]

I am so grateful for your channel. Glad that you are sticking around for awhile longer. I watch diligently, use the recipes myself, and they help me develop my own keto recipes amendments as I learn new things too. The peanut butter chocolate crunch bites are a huge hit at my office. Another example: the dessert chaffle - a few tweaks to your original recipe and I have a shortcake worthy option with berries and heavy cream. Couldn't have done it without your original and your inspiration for motivation. Collaboration is great! Thanks for being willing to share. The discounts from your partners have helped my wallet too. BTW - I was looking at some of your earliest videos sometime the past week and you are looking even healthier a year later. Clearly Keto works for you.

"I clearly didn't lose you hard enough." 🤣🤣💀💀 Yaaaaassss Steve, yaaaaasssss! Edit: In regards to Anthony's: I think the link would be helpful. Amazon doesn't always have what one might need in stock and when they do, as people buy it, the price goes up. At least at the Anthony's website, the price will remain the same and everyone will have a fair chance at getting it.

I'll point people toward Mark Sisson's keto book. I've had some people not accept those answers get very demanding, insisting that I tell them how they should go about keto. 😲

[@Trthsker24]

Not everyone who is an expert at LCHF was always a keto afficiando, so I understand the frustration but youtube is that type of platform. The "you had me at..." is just as annoying as "you lost me at..." just to be fair.

[@shawnabeals9261]

Absolutely LOVE watching all your videos. You are such a crack up... I'm often in stitches listening. I love how much effort you put into this channel. Your content is deliberate and well thought out. In that way, it just doesn't compare to so many keto channels out there that seem to be cranking out any old random content or videos filled with 5 minutes of endorsements for products, as if they and their content are owned and dictated by a corporation. (kinda like pharmaceutical companies controlling doctors, nutrition recommendations etc). Personally I'd rather buy the Anthony's products on Amazon where I can often bundle with other subscribe and save items for 10-15% off even the Amazon prices. Great ideas for an app. And I'll buy your cookbooks in a heartbeat as well. When you talked about viewers issuing commands, I could hear my 4 year old granddaughter after she's been around the cousins... Bossy little 4 year old with attitude and a desire to spend some time on the naughty spot (to quote super nanny) 🙃

[@nadogrl]

I completely agree with you on the bossiness! If you want me to do something, ASK ME. I'm not a child who needs to be told what to do. People at work are constantly say "Gimme this" or "Gimme that" My response is..."I don't do Gimme"

[@francesprusha8304]

I haven’t been doing keto long, but I will say I think I can make this a lifestyle because of you! I hope you keep this channel going!! Fran in Cleveland and yes I’m a Browns fan 😁

[@SeriousKeto]

Too bad Joe Thomas never saw a decent Brown team while there. He went to high school less than 15 minutes from where I live.

[@francesprusha8304]

Serious Keto oh wow I didn’t know that, and yes I agree. When I saw you were a packer fan I think I liked you even more LOL Packers are my secondary team because the fans are just like us. Also you had Clay Matthews we were stupid not to draft him.His dad of course played for the Browns.

[@SeriousKeto]

I think it would be a classy move if the Packers signed Clay for a final year so he could retire as a Packer. Also, I've only been to Cleveland once -- we were at Cedar Point and decided we'd take a trip to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

[@francesprusha8304]

I was shocked when I heard they didn’t resign him. The Browns did that with our kicker Phil Dawson. I think Clay would like that. I’ve never been to Green Bay, but it’s on my bucket list to go to a Browns vs Green Bay game there. I’m a season ticket holder and I have of course seen Green Bay at home a bunch of times. I like Green Bay fans the best. I won’t say who the worst fans are, but they have the same colors as bumble bees 😂

[@suzannekazmiruk183]

The people who list their allergies or personal preferences on why they don’t like a recipe or ingredient bug me. I think I may have been guilty of this on occasion so I’m not perfect but trying to do better. Love your channel Steve, you’re doing a great job. Always like seeing your offspring and grandson in your videos too.

[@SeriousKeto]

I think a lot of how I feel depends on how something is phrased. If someone says, "This looks great, but I'm allergic to peanuts so I can't use lupin flour. Is there something I could subsitute?" I'm happy to help. If someone says, "You lost me at coconut flour" or "COCONUT FLOUR???? THIS IS A NO-GO!!!", I'm probably moving right past that one. 😄 I'll try and get some family into a video I'm recording today.

[@debracroteau4028]

I see and hear comments similar to yours from other keto sights. Yes there are those who are the rudest of rude. You won’t be able to stop that. Don’t let those folks derail what you want to achieve with your channel. Just keep going, be positive and your channel will grow. I think you’ve got what it takes! 😉

[@jcnorton9948]

You found me at your incredible sense of humor

[@milnrowmart]

I should say why I watch your podcasts. Of course to get some tips and suggestions as to how to keep on the keto straight and narrow. The other reason is that you are very entertaining. I too have a load of cookbooks. Probably too many. I have done some ketofying but only at the level of easy substitutions. I would find a list of suitable substitutes useful. If I was tempted by a recipe calling for a complicated substitution I would probably just cook it as written and treat myself.

[@Ethanboy231]

You had me at hello!!!!! :) As always - love these not so serious keto videos.

[@dianarahdert444]

All of the things you find annoying are legit. One of the things I wish KZbin had for recipe channels is a dual comment system. One area to post feedback if a person has actually made the recipe would be helpful to discover how people really liked it (a true endorsement) or note any problems or challenges they had making it (real feedback) separated from another comment section for the folks that just say "That looks good" but never make it. Wishful thinking. And - Ketofy is definitely a word I use frequently when looking at recipes. Thanks for your wonderful content.

Instead of learning Adobe programs for your e-book, look into Affinity Publisher. Professional but WAY cheaper, one time fee. Just thought I'd let you know :-)

[@SeriousKeto]

You're the second person to tell me that. I'll look into it. Thanks! 🙂

[@shadowedlily]

@@SeriousKeto You're welcome! Also, as someone who sells on Amazon, I just wanted to mention that FBA shipping is insanely cheap, so it's possible that the Anthony's website is more expensive because their fulfillment cost is higher. I pay double (or more) to ship product from my house, as opposed to Amazon fulfillment. :-)

glad to hear you're going to be around for a while. * 3

[@SeriousKeto]

Sneaky.

[@stuartpierce121]

Very interesting video. Thanks Jennifer

[@SeriousKeto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cassieoz1702]

We love your recipes, appreciate your honesty and integrity but mostly it's that you speak to us as adults 😁. I had a huge collection of cookbooks before we downsized and moved to the farm but I sold almost all of them. Add keto to that change, and I almost never use recipes any more (apart from infrequent baking). I get ideas but rarely follow recipes these days

[@leslieprice9224]

Your channel is perfect! Thank you for your videos!

[@SeriousKeto]

That's very nice of you to say. Thank you.

[@nancylloyd9859]

You mentioned once creating a spiritual path with Keto. That struck me as a great idea.

[@AishaMBudgets]

LOL Love your comments section of the video :)

[@stacymontero6172]

My hubby and kids let me know if they've added to our Amazon cart. At the end of the day, I go to your KZbin channel and click your affiliate link before purchasing. We buy a lot on Amazon. Thanks for the great work you're doing. You're awesome!

[@SeriousKeto]

That is awesome! Thank you!

[@nadogrl]

Serious Keto - Does that work even when not purchasing something from your links? If so, you could have totally retired by now from my purchases. (Just moved from San Diego to Pittsburgh, bought a small house, but all my stuff is still at my San Diego home. - long story - Therefore, I have started from scratch here at my new home and the local post office has had to hire more carriers.)🤣😂

[@nadogrl]

Oh, P.S. I’m still buying stuff, so I can help if that’s true.

[@stacymontero6172]

@@nadogrl Yes, it's true. Steve said that if you click the link to his Amazon store, he gets credit for anything you buy (whether or not you buy from his store) within 24 hours.

[@SeriousKeto]

Yes. Anything you purchase after using one of my links, I get credit for (and you don't need to purchase the linked item). Thanks!

[@92mrsrdb]

Love your 'Not So Serious Keto' podcasts. Thanks for posting 👉

[@SeriousKeto]

Thanks for watching (or listening). 🙂

[@davelevee7385]

Thank you Steve.... oh wait you never said if you liked or disliked “thank yous” 😉. Seriously, thank you for your honesty and doing what you do here on KZbin.

[@genasuarez1308]

I would let people just buy from Amazon if Anthony's isn't willing to work with you. Believe me, your channel is growing rapidly and you produce EXCELLENT, much-needed content for one of the fastest-growing markets right now, and companies will be falling over themselves to be promoted by you in the future; they'll be very quick to respond positively to your ideas for cross-promotion. Carry on, because this audience loves you.

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you. 🙂

[@karinvaleri7130]

Thankyou for another great podcast! I like the app idea...I keto-fy some of my savoury recipes and like you, have about as many cookbooks (I have my go-to favs tho) and magazine clippings....Went thru them all also, but since hubby eats non-keto sweets and eats starches, I have to keep most of recipes ha. I would buy from Amazon directly. And look forward to your videos.

[@hvnbndmatron4672]

Yes. I would like to see a ketofiability score on recipes/cookbooks. Great idea . As to the rest, I was not raised in the computer generation and I don’t even know what you’re talking about when it comes to website construction. Sorry about that. I just barely know how to get around my phone basics and always learning something new.

[@barbaraeulayne]

Thank you for commenting on annoying comments. I agree with all. It's also a waste of time for the readers!

[@Djynni]

Anthony's: I would join their newsletter and use your links as long as they are giving money to your channel. When you say "Affiliate Partnership" I assume that means if we use your link that will get you money, so my answer would be yes.

[@clarkiepenney4388]

I love the idea you have for sharing from your cookbooks!

[@marm1962]

Omg...our Aldi finally got the zero net carb bread in and I had my first toast in ages! Thank you for the taste test on that

[@patriciabeetschen1329]

Yes the cookbook ketofiability score is a great idea

[@ilbsli]

You should say I lost you at “you lost me at” 😂

[@SeriousKeto]

I've thought about it...

[@CarbageMan]

You made an interesting comment about editing. *_Everybody_* needs an editor, even though some people don't recognize it.

[@SeriousKeto]

I fully admit I need one. 😄

[@Lulu-bq9eu]

I just fell in love with your channel all over again! People think I’m crazy 😜 when I talk about grammar and spelling and they think I’m mean. Nope, just proud of my education and I’m sorry you don’t have one!

[@SeriousKeto]

plus nice use of the Bitmoji for your avatar. 😉

[@deannanderson2033]

Hi, Steve. Love your channel and it is the only keto one I currently watch. I am carnivore but hubby is keto. Love your recipes and podcasts, don't change. The all caps is annoying and hard to read. I work in electronic medical records and reading any notes or reports is horrible if the author doesn't use punctuation and paragraph breaks. Love the app idea since I rarely use a recipe as written due to added sugar or spices I don't use it have on hand. Keep up the great work and will contribute when I can.
