Your videos helped get me through my mother's passing two years ago, and hopefully, they'll help get me through my dad's -- he died at the end of July. I haven't even properly processed it, I don't think. So, I'm glad to see you back, Zabrena. 🙂

[@Zabrena]

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss hun. I am keeping you in my prayers in this time. Feel every feeling that you need to, don't hold anything back. It will help the process. My heart hurts for you. Sending you a BIG HUG

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I will be praying for God's comfort.

[@ClassyCountryGirl630]

Oh, my goodness! My sincere sympathy for the loss of your parents. I will remember you in prayer. I lost my precious Mom three years ago and my Daddy in 2017. I still miss them both so much. July is always difficult, because it’s both their wedding anniversary and the month he passed away. I wish there was more I could do to help you through this difficult time. May God comfort you and your family and surround you with His grace, peace, and love. Hugs! ❤️🙏

oh my gosh, I've been doing keto since 2020 and I have lost 50 pounds. I love how I feel. I will be 61 in September. It's no longer a diet, it's a lifestyle.

[@ClassyCountryGirl630]

Awesome! Congratulations!!!!

[@gailn9502]

I’ve been eating clean keto since January and have lost 76 pounds (size 2X to size 10). I feel better both physically and emotionally and I also sleep better. The mental part has also been important to the process for me. I will keep journeying on and make adjustments as needed. It needs to be sustainable. Yes to the idea of it being a lifestyle. All the best to you both. 💜

Keto is incredibly unhealthy

[@khill6510]

[@Zabrena]

It IS amazing how much sweeter sugar is when you've been off it, right?! My kids had strawberry lemonade the other day and wanted me to try it, so I took a sip and BLECK! My gosh, I literally added water to theirs too because it was obnoxiously sweet. Eeegads! So happy to hear it has saved you from diabetes! I will tell my husband that too because he was pre-diabetic, very encouraging to hear!

My husband and I have been on the keto diet for over 3 yrs now. I don’t ever plant to go back to the “normal” way of eating. You’re right, it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.

[@SharrellKline]

My husband and I went very low carb keto for health reasons, and it almost seems too good to be true, but the health benefits have been remarkable. It's hard to fight sugar cravings being a sugar addict and not just a sweet lover, but the changes to our minds and body are worth fighting for.

I'm so happy you are doing great and your husband is feeling better.

I did keto for a couple years and it did work great! Instead i do a low carb now. It's not for everyone tho and you really do need to be careful. A woman i used to workout with passed away from going into severe ketosis. Keep on eye on your levels.

[@elainelee4828]

One day this spring my husband bought some New Zealand lamb to try. He marinated it for 3 days and bbq on a long skewer over camp fire. I never liked lamb, but that night, I enjoyed it. For 3 subsequent days, I had no appetite for any carbs. I kept it going, cut 80% carbs out, I lost 11 lbs in one month unexpectedly. I don’t feel that late afternoon early evening exhaustion anymore, my brain fog has gotten so much better. Burning glucose generates toxins. The older we become the more protein we need to stimulate muscle synthesis particularly animal proteins which contains abundant leucine along with proper resistance training. And they taste 👅 good 😊

[@Zabrena]

WOW! That sounds amazeballs!

Everyone's journey is different! it will evolve and change the need to seek substitutes for food will change over time but its nice to have the keto cookies that you like. keto egg roll in a bowl is another favorite meal.

[@malindafarr6975]

Happy for you and your husband healthy eating journey. My husband and myself also did keto it works. I can say after a little over two years of eating a low carb diet we both feel much better. We mainly are thinking about what we put in our mouth as far as carbs and sugar at this point. So not a strict keto diet but just making healthy choices and it has been pretty easy to stick to long term. Good luck with your health journey. 🙏❤️

I am thrilled to hear that your husband is doing better, and that your diet change has helped. We have been striving to rid our diet of processed foods...going the whole food route, and we feel so much better. I don't eat gluten, so I like a lot of Keto recipes. The cookie recipe looks like a winner! I am curious what monk fruit brand you use? So many of them contain erythritol which has been shown to cause health issues!

[@cherylweaver5129]

I've listen to Dr. Berg for years. He has helped me more than any doctor or nutritionist has ever helped me. However I no longer seem to be able to handle low carb or keto anymore. It messed with my thyroid and adrenals. We're all different. I have to eat 150 carbs a day now. Good luck on your new eat journey.

[@magpie1206]

The last few months I have been seeing a dermatologist and was diagnosed with psoriasis.. and I decided to cut back on the process sugar and noticed inflammation started to subside a bit.. Ive been eating more fruits to satisfy the sugar craving so I noticed the difference.. but when I just do the topical treatment itself the inflammation doesn’t go away as fast.. so processed sugar definitely contributes to inflammation..

HELLO, Gorgeous! Welcome back! It’s such a joy to see YOU again! I was really concern about you. I remember that your father in law was having some health issues. I’ve been praying for you and all your family! Praise the Lord, you all are going well! How are your in laws, if you don’t mind me asking? You look fantastic, but you’ve always been beautiful! You’re gorgeous even without makeup! You don’t look like you needed to lose weight, though. I’m sorry about your your husband’s health scare, but I’m relieved to hear he’s improving! I think I could give you a run for the money about who’s more addicted to sugar! 🤣 That’s my weakness, too. And baking is one of my favorite pastimes, so that doesn’t help, either. I’ve dieting for several YEARS, and sugar cravings are my downfall. So I’ve been drinking dark chocolate Atkins shakes and pretending it’s dessert. (It just isn’t the same, though! lol ) Thank you for sharing your recipes and your weight loss journey with us. I’m glad you and your husband are doing it together. Keep us updated, won’t you? And I’d love to see your video about restoring your new bed. How are the Munchkins and your fur babies? I miss them making “cameos” in your videos! 😻

No public figure, who is not an MD or other, should discuss a health topic without first offering the disclaimer, that you are not a doctor and you should consult with your doctor prior to beginning a specific type of diet. NO “diet” is sustainable longterm. Best to adhere to the recommendations we are all familiar with: consume proportional fruits/ vegetables, balance of fat, carbs/ portion control. And of course, get your cardio and weight training in daily.

[@ksinc495]
