We are not medical professionals, we are just sharing our ketogenic weight loss journey. It is always recommended to ask your doctor if a lifestyle change is right for you before starting.
I have been lucky in that my family has been extremely supportive of my Keto lifestyle. Your "friend's" behaviors don't sound much like a friend would behave. Find some good friends. You guys deserve it. We ALL deserve at least 1 good friend in our lives.That's all we need. Thanks for all your tips. Your channel is so amazing in that it is "real" and helpful. You can't beat that.Thank You for all you do!!
Thank you!
I am diabetic and you would not believe the amount of people who try to push sugary snacks on me.🤦♀️ so, I understand this. I like the idea of pre eating before a party. Thank you, great idea.
Thank you so much for watching Mareena! ❤️-Emily
Instead of saying “I can’t have” that” replace with “I don’t want that” your whole perspective will change quickly.. love your channels wish they were longer ✌🏽
Very wise words! -Em
Keto and Kibble, Your idea of “ I don’t want that “is GREAT. I do something similar and commented in the post just above. I’m going to add “ I don’t want that” to “ That is not my food.” You are a genius! 😋❣️
New Subscriber here. I wish more people were saying it louder for those in the back, "Keto is not a food! Keto is a metabolic state."
Your Pal Misty thanks so much misty! I think that people don’t want to try keto because of all the information people give about the “right” way to do keto, I think more people would be enticed to try it if they really knew what it meant! -Emily
@@ketotwins I couldn't agree more. I saw another video where y'all mentioned relaxed Keto and that's a much better description. I really don't like that we have to call our diet Dirty and/or Lazy. It's not dirty or lazy to do something to better your health. Glad to know there are others in the community who agree.
Keto cocktails sound good. Diet tonic works for me.
You ladies are so right with this video.
Love your philosophy ...Thank you for all that you do .
You are so welcome
Very good video very informative
Yes people can be jealous
I just love you two! Thank you for being so honest with your journeys with us.
Would love a video of keto cocktails or what’s safe to drink for a Friday/Sat that will not leave you pissed at yourself for the next 3-5 days from Sunday to the next weekend!
We have a video where we made some but we stick to vodka plus a packet of LMNT citrus salt, it prevents hangovers for us when we drink occasionally
I learned that the best reaction to a Keto No-No for ME. is to look at the specific item quickly and say AUTOMATICALLY and firmly to myself ( sometimes even out loud softly). in a store or restaurant, “ THAT STUFF. IS NOT MY FOOD.!” It works for me EVERY TIME!” 👍😁. I KNOW very well in advance what is on my list of real food-ie, Keto! At least for me, it takes Junk off my acceptable list in ADVANCE-this removes the temptation of Choice from most of my activities. I’m 5’ 6” and T2 Diabetic controlled with diet and a couple years ago was 184...now 154, but am aiming for about 140 AGAIN!
YOU ARE THE BEST...most inspiring and most practical. ( And Most Beautiful. Nutritional Advisors I have ever seen-a wonderful online source of good health! ( AND FUN!) ( 😋😁❤️)
From south africa this really helped
Love you girls!! Always keeping it real and truthful for us!! Thank you
I use to drink gin and tonic and budlight pre keto, post keto gin and la croix, and whiteclaw
Great video
I use to think about food all the time. Now I never get hungry anymore.
carol difrancesca isn’t it such a difference?! It’s so freeing!-Em
Please do the drinks you can have on Keto
Keto cocktail video would be great!
Here is our first (so far) cocktail video :) Easy Keto Cocktails for Your Next Game Night!
czcams.com/video/suBdpxTfxeM/video.html
Yes! Keto cocktails video please. We make our own simple syrup with bocha sweet. We use it to make frozen lemonade with fresh lemon juice, margaritas with fresh lime juice and maitai. We also make keto mules with zevia ginger soda and bloody Mary's. I look forward to what you come up with so I can add to my keto drink collection
Your cocktail game is better than ours for sure! We are going to start researching some new recipes and see what we can come up with! Thanks Lindsey!! -Em
Yes, please do a KETO cocktail video! I need this one! Sending HUGS, PRAYERS, LOVE, A SMILE and
KINDNESS! 💗💗💗
Kaye Carter Mature Woman Daily Dose ok we will definitely do one!! ❤️❤️-Emily
It's true we look at food in one way.. "I can't have a hot dog without the bun that's outrageous" from how we have grown up
Awesome shot of without the bun+side salad restaurant experience!
Nick Nowakowski thanks Nick 😍🥰😍
Love you girl! Thank you for what you do. You keep it real ❤️
Awww thank you!!!
Thanks ladies !!! Please do cocktails for us 😍 love your videos!!!! Really inspiring !!!
This was so informative! Your videos are great!
Sorry to be binge watching you guys but you’re definitely spitting truth.
Awww thank you for watching several videos!! That means a lot to us ❤️-Emily
I love this video! Ur last point is brilliant!
Mary'd To Keto thanks Mary!! 😍😍
Yes I enjoy a cocktail occasionally. Especially when I meet with friends. I’m sure others feel the same
Amen and amen!
2 things:
1. Yes to Keto cocktails please!!! 🤩🙌🏼 I haven’t tried any alcohol since I started my weight loss journey because I’m not sure what’s acceptable or not.
2. I also agree on some people wanting to see you fail on your “diet.” It’s sad because that’s how you truly know who supports you 100% and who wants to see you unhappy and miserable.
Thank you for all the effort you both do on making these videos. It helps me to stay focused and motivated 💐👍
Aww Maria, comments like yours keeps us going making videos, thank you! Sarah and I are going to think of what cocktails to make so we can make a video soon! And about people not supporting others, yeah it’s really sad, but eventually people come around when they see you gain progress and keep the weight off! There is hope :) if they truly care about you they will be happy to see you happier! -Emily
Thanks for the tips! The snow in the background of the McDonalds drive thru gave me all the winter feels lol
Danielle Marie that was the last time we went to an event (baby shower) before the pandemic started, crazy right?! Ugh, in Chicago winter pretty much starts in October so that’s fun lol 😢-Emily
Toast keto bread n make it into crumbs to fry stuff
Stay the course!!
Always ❤️❤️
I ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese with no bun, no ketchup at McDonald's. She asked me 3 times what I said. I wondered why our meals were so cheap, she gave me 2 regular cheeseburgers! Very pitiable looking, but I ate them! Hungry is hungry! Thanks 👭
I found the most perfect thing to say instead of saying that I’m on a diet or that I switched my eating habits to a healthier lifestyle. I just tell people that I’m on a detox lol. It works every time! Somehow it takes the pressure off of THEM!! I don’t get the psychology behind it, but it works. There’s no pressure, there’s no weird guilt trips, believe it or not people want to give you guilt trips because you’re trying to do better for yourself. 🤣😂🤣
I'm going to take your advice and eat before going to any events :) And yes countless time the same people will always temp me to just eat a carb but it only made my will power stronger because I know what is best for my body. One time during family dinner I had a whole table of people trying to temp me to eat a macaroon.
It’s so hard to stay strong in the beginning! If you eat before you go, food no longer has that power over you! Sooner or later your family will get bored tempting you! -Em
Would TOTALLY love for y’all to do a keto cocktail video!!!
We did make one with some tasty and unique drinks! -Em czcams.com/video/suBdpxTfxeM/video.html
I would love to see cocktails videos thank you I am so glad I came across your videos
Here is the cocktail video Kathy! ❤️❤️-Em czcams.com/video/suBdpxTfxeM/video.html
Imagine having a Mc Donald’s bun with no burger or condinments, it would taste like crap, so why do we miss it.
SO TRUE! A lot people try to test your will power. LOL! Love it! They want to see you to suffer!
Prepare and eat before going to a gathering. So smart! This is insightful! YES Keto cocktail please!
Thanks Tom!! Cocktail video coming soon! 🍸🍸
Wise words girls....wise words...thank you for that timely reminder :)
Aww thanks Fi! 🥰😍 -Em
So true...misery enjoys company, or people want everyone to have the same fun. It is interesting. One told me why am I doing all that??, just take the fat burning pill like I am. I take my own food. Love Mariano's!! Made my own garlic cheese biscuits and took them to Red Lobster. My husband was embarrassed 🤦♂️but i was happy!
Lol that’s awesome sing it! I brought low carb tortillas to uncle julios once and it was delicious haha! -Emily
Yes please Moheto
My advice for a 'newbie' is to NOT fall into the keto trap of products. When reading labels, they are NOT really keto, the manufacturers / products are using the word 'keto' as a marketing tool. Be careful.
I use diet Tonic water. It’s not bad at all! I just found ur channel. Ur story is just like mine! Been overweight my whole life. I love u guys!
I didn’t know that Tonic water had sugar in it (I thought it didn’t lol) and I was drinking for years when I went out! 🤣! Thanks Lisa!
This video was sooo helpful ! Would LOVE. A cocktail video … I love margaritas 😩
Yes for the cocktails!!
Amber Weaver yay! Going to start working on that video ASAP :) thanks amber!! -Em
Do you guys eat keto bread? Burger buns? Hot dog buns. Reg sliced bread?
restaurants have been accommodating vegetarians for centuries! I feel people are less likely to critique vegetarian but quick to critique keto. both are ways to eliminate a food group that works for you.
I'm glad I went back to rewatch this video. KISS Keto. Back to the drawing board ❤
Woohoo cocktails 🍸 🍹!!! Please
I use zero carb bread as my hotdog bun.
I just did that today with a hot dog, its great! -Emily
I would very much like to see a video how you guys make keto biscuits and gravy I have made almond biscuits and put regular and gravy on it which was pretty good but I am a fan of real biscuits
where have you two been all of my life.. well at least the last two years.. i've plumped like the "child me"!
Awww hi!! 🤗🤗-Em
Make your own Irish Cream for the holiday.
oh my. have a friend that didn't want me to lose weight
Haven't had a drink at all since probably before keto. Afraid...migraine...loved buttered pecan whiskey before...yup...immediately fell in love with bunless burgers...what was i doing before??? 😋 yup...are very helpful now...tip them!😄I've always been doing something food-weird, so no problem asking...🙋♀️ I am enjoying carnivore because it has given me simplicity back. 27th day... maybe two or three treats a month later. One Keto. Yes!!! And was counting total carbs before the challenge...this was good stuff. Glad you two are back in the same frame! 💃💃
27 days on Carnivore?! That’s amazing! I don’t think I could do more than a week without aching for something, anything else 😂-Emily
@@ketotwins it's been an interesting journey. Had 2 firsts this weekend 1a pretty rare 2ribeye. Never ate steak before. Salted that baby up, not hungry rest of the day, down 3 pounds the next day. Lots of foods won't be back on the regular...definitely leaning towards ketovore...
Sing it! Three pounds is great! Now I have the taste for steak! 😋
Keto cocktails? Awesome! Rarely drink but would be nice to know how to Keto 🍸
I very rarely drink alcohol now but boy in my younger yrs I did on some weekends with my friends going out. You should make some keto drinks and have yourself a happy hour at home. Sounds like fun.
sarah and i will have to do that soon! I havent had a drink in a while either! :) -Emily
Helllo good to see you 2! I've definitely had people that tried to get me to cheat. Do you know why i can't turn on notifications for your channel? It says something about content made for kids, but I know your channel isn't?
really? thats weird...
@@ketotwins Yeah!!!! I've never been able to turn on your notifications its so weird. I have to search you up manually )=
@@ketotwins when you upload do you check the box NOT made for kids?
@@ketolisciouslife yes we do! :o thats scary.. :( thanks for letting us know. I will try to look into it!
KETO Liscious Life yes we do! Just double checked, so weird 😑
Because you have helped us so much Emily and Sarah j would like to help you If you like the brand Bisquick to make biscuits or pancakes there is a keto brand its called Carbquick I bought it off of Amazon I made garlic cheddar biscuits they were so good with soft butter and it doesn't take you out of ketosis the box looks like the bisquick box the cost is 14.95
Thanks so much Jeanne! We miss biscuits so we will have to try it!! YUM!-Em
Your more than welcome I also use it to make oven fried chicken in the oven its the same recipe that bisquick have on their box but I use carbquick instead it has the same texture as bisquick 😊
Oh and by the way Sarah you can have REAL strawberry short cake too with carbquick that should put a big smile on your face lol
Yes keto cocktails please
We are on it! What’s your favorite drink? -Sarah
I say "that raises my blood sugar"- i don't want to have to take insulin. Most people get THAT!
I never believed the alcohol would kick you out of ketosis just from the fact if I don't eat anything I lose weight every time its weird. I hit a new low every time I drink. Wouldn't you die if your body got kicked out of ketosis completely
Hi Joe! You technically do get kicked out of ketosis when you drink because your body switches fuel sources from ketones/fat to burning alcohol, once the alcohol is used it will switch back into ketosis immediately. I also lost weight when drinking. It’s not the same as eating carbs and being kicked out and having to wait days to get back into ketosis if that makes sense :) -Em
Yes keto alcohol drinks
Never thought of pregaming family food gatherings. Great idea! 🤦🏻♂️😂
I love vodka and tonic. I buy diet tonic though, no carbs.
Nice! I’ve never bought diet tonic, going to be on the lookout :) -Em
There is a drink called a “skinny bitch” which is vodka with soda water. Very keto friendly. Also, I love a flavoured gin (Whitley & Neil - Rhubarb and ginger flavour) with soda water. It’s not as sweet as with tonic but worth it to stay with keto plan.
I lost my alcohol taste on Keto x
Do you excercise? I don't yet. Do you need to?
We are going to make a video about this soon Debra, but to answer your question... no, we don’t (we know we should) but we lost most of the weight with zero exercise.-Em
Just found your channel....you guys are fantastic!!!
Aww thank you so much Julie! That means so much to us! ❤️-Em
