I have no sugar cravings since keto and intermittent fasting. I loss 60 lbs on WW. Craved sugar terribly. No more. This is the best part of clean Keto.
Wow congratulations!
"You want to think that you can have it all but the truth is when when you had it all, you end up obese". Ain't that the truth. I got to work on my sugar cravings because my health, self-esteem and wellbeing are worth it.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼-Em
YOUR BIGGEST FAN!! HI GIRLS!!!! my chubby girl tip of the day..................... when your craving something sweet, sounds goofy.... brush your teeth..... see i told you it sounds goofy but tooth paste is sweet and when you brush your teeth you don't really want to eat. try it... what can happen? oh yeah get skinny and have good teeth. LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!!!
Yeah I will also try a minty sugar free gum if out and about.
Great idea!
Right on. Thank you. I've been doing this since 2005, I could write a book of the ups and downs, the attitude adjustments, the crashes and getting back up, etc. I thought at one point I could have desserts I craved every day, as long as they were keto. I gained 20 lbs doing that. You learn in the end, you have to say no to yourself, you have to quit feeling deprived when in truth, you are not... you have to focus on all the wonderful food you CAN eat, not on what will destroy you.
This! 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️
I'm gonna toot my own horn for a minute 😁- The other day I had the option of eating a not so good pre-package keto bar (yummy) or making myself a nice salmon meal -For the first time (literally!!) in my life I choose to forgo the sweet, easy option and made salmon instead! I still grin and feel proud of myself as I type!
It's all about the little victories, cause they feel like big victories sometimes!
Congrats!!!
You should definitely "toot" your own horn! The little victories truly are big victories ... all combined lead to SUCCESS !!! GOOD for YOU! ... 👏👏👏
Over the past year and a half on keto, I just keep repeating to myself “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” So far, it’s worked for me. 🤷♀️
Love keto!
👍
I used to say that. Now I say, Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!!
@@chayton1001 Much better way of putting it! 😀
Love this, will have to steal this !
Funny, one of my biggest “say no’s” is to sitting around relaxing. My exercise aversion is probably what has largely caused me to be unable to manage carbs and become insulin resistant. Since eating Keto, I’ve found I’d I say no to sitting around for 20 minutes or more a day, do some biking or something, I lose weight easier. 64 years old and finally getting the connections.
Switch your brain from thinking No is a punishment or that you're left out. Saying No is a way to celebrate, honor, and care for yourself.
When I get hungry and have cravings I think, my fat cells are shrieking and so they must be shrinking. I know this isn't how it actually works, but it is just a substitute image I entertain when I get hungry.
Love it! I think the same
Keto helps cravings!
What a great idea!
That's a great idea!
I learned to say NO early on in my Keto Lifestyle journey....100 pounds later, and NO iis very easy still. You rock !
Congrats on 100 lbs Mike! That is such a wonderful accomplishment! You rock!! -Em
I so agree. Hubby and I started keto nearly 5 months ago. He does the cooking, and would continue to make rice, pasta etc for our teens to add in to what we were eating. Finally I said, if you think carbs aren’t healthy, why would you want to feed them to the kids? Guess what, the teens are all happy eating keto! It’s heaps of delicious, whole food, and they don’t ask where the pasta is!
Wow that’s so great to hear! Wonderful! -E
This is sooooo true! The longer I'm keto, the harder I have to work to keep making progress.
These are all really good tips. I can’t emphasize fasting enough. I just want to state first that I HATE fasting, but man, is it effective at giving proper perspective and breaking carb addiction. Before a fast if I’m not enjoying my normal keto staples and I’m resenting those around me who get to eat the all the fun stuff, a good 24-36 hours without food will remind me how delicious those staples are.
That’s so true! If you are sick of the Keto foods try fasting and you will miss them 🤣 fasting has been life changing for us. Finally starting to break the power that food holds over us! -Em
I’ve found it fairly easy to IF 16:8. It’s usually the morning that i feel some hunger pangs, but if I just put a pinch of salt under my tongue and drink plenty of water. Within minutes, the pangs subside.
@@WanderingAroundAZ I also do 16:8 IF. I skip breakfast so my lunch is usually very 'breakfast-y'. Mostly scrambled eggs with bacon, cheese and some herbs (maybe a tbsp of fresh cream some time). It's such a blessing
I have lost 33.5 lbs.since January 2022 and just 4 lbs. from my goal!
I cannot begin to express my thanks to you two Twinzies 👯♀️with helping me with your channel , recipes and advice..... my mantra to controlling my journey is “ Nothing tastes as good as thin feels”! That saying keeps me focused when having cravings ( and Yes it Really works)👍👌😎
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed the video 👍 I really don't get cravings , but I do have some days I have more of an appetite. I've been to a couple cookouts & still had dogs & burgers (minus the buns) I think the fear of putting 40 lbs. back on is a form of motivation for me 😁
Hard-hitting TRUTH! Thank you, gals! Sometimes we need to be reminded that we WILL survive a day without sweets (or alcohol or chips or whatever). And one day leads to one week...
Baby steps lead to breaking the habits that got us where we were in the first place! ❤️❤️ -Em
This is such a powerful video. CZcamsrs love to preach about keto being a lifestyle change and eating healthier but nobody talks about what it actually takes to do it. It is a mental battle and seriously you guys put it into words so perfectly I wish I had seen this video a long time ago. Thanks keto twins!
Thanks for watching Ricky!
Just say NO.... YOU are WORTH IT!!!!! YES Honeys PREACH!!!!🤠💕
30K!!!!!!!!!!!🥳 I just knew yall were a diamond in the rough early on and u were gonna explode.... Congrats ladies... U deserve all ur success and so much more!!!! I'm so honored I've been here to watch yall grow.... So cool!!!!🤠💕
Thank you for teaching us how to be disciplined. Losing weight will ultimately add years to your life and that should be everyone's main goal.
I have 2 kids so my house is filled with temptations but I find that the satisfaction of losing the weight is worth the saying no to the temptation. I do also find that the IF helps also because I am not as hungry anymore. Great video giving some tough love/hard truth.
My 4yo and my man have a TON of snacks at the house. At first it was hard to watch them eat things that I couldn't enjoy as well. Now (4months on keto) it doesn't bother me anymore. I make them rice, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese ect and I actually enjoy watching them eat it. 😁
I love how you guys tell it like it is! So refreshing to hear these days!! :)
Aww thanks Kelly for watching ❤️-em
I've lost the same 40 lbs 3 times in the last 30 years because I stopped saying "no". That's a hundred and twenty pounds.
Eating this way is just so much easier. And yes...you gotta say no sometimes.
Thank you ladies for the realistic reminder!
I’ve been on and off keto over the last 4 years. I started back and am eating good proteins and keto veggies. Omad. After I got fat adapted my cravings went completely away. I find the keto replacement treats and snacks are just a gateway to giving in to the real thing. So I avoid them. Is it easy? Nope. But like these awesome twins say, it gets easier. When friends want to eat out I request a steakhouse. So many delicious keto friendly options that I’m not tempted to stray. Take me to an Italian or Mexican restaurant, forget about it. Also in potluck outings or bbqs, bring some keto friendly snacks and fill your plate thoughtfully. Easier to stay the course if you’re surrounded by non keto foods but have a satisfied tummy. It’s hard sometimes. If it wasn’t, everyone would be doing it. But your strong determined and completely in control of your journey. Y’all got this!
Love everything you said Deanna! -Em
This was the most hard cold tough love video I have watched in god knows how long. Watched it 3x before the stinging wore off enough to LISTEN. Will have to come back when breakroom donuts are nearby!!! Thank you seriously 💕
Thanks you for your kind words!! We appreciate it!! -Em
When offered foods I’m avoiding, I quickly say “No, Thank you!”, and it sets my intention in my mind, and I feel like I’ve politely let others know I’m not interested without having to explain everything.
As bizarre as this may sound,Everything both of you say is so very accurate. I have gone through each and every step you refer to. You really are spot-on with insight.I am 21 mths into keto and 140 lbs lost so far (60 to go).I have watched many of your vids and they help me to know I am not alone and Finally someone understands and articulates from a place of wisdom. This is a new and permanant way to live...BETTER! Thank you both very much...
Great tips. Head hunger is the hardest part to work through but it makes me feel better when I know I’m in control and don’t always have to eat because it’s lunchtime or whatever. Old habits are hard to break but worth it!
I say to myself( any time I'm tempted), and others along this journey...You and your health are worth it!
SQUELCH! 😂😂😂. You gals crack me up!! I feel like intermittent “duh’s”. Could’ve been placed throughout your spiel! 😂
Keto 101: How do you overcome cravings? Say No!
That is way more powerful than people realize. I do still use substitutes for some things, but they are more used as treats, not as an every day. I just hit 100 pounds lost yesterday and I love eating this way. I won't say I don't have fat bombs, or ice cream, or keto pizza from time to time, but that's not my every day. For me saying no also sometimes requires me to be prepared. Sometimes that means taking foods I know that can sustain me through the day, and sometimes it is just the mental preparation of saying no. Either way, I still find being prepared can help in a lot of situations...especially when first starting.
Congrats on 30K! I hope you're both having an amazing week! 😊🧡
Congrats on 100 lbs lost Misty! What an accomplishment!! We still use substitutes sometimes too as you know, I think we are all learning a thing or two about moderation, even on keto! ❤️❤️-em
Y'all, it is hard sometimes. And at the bbq, its not just cake, its cake, pie, baked beans, potato salad, BBQ sauce and rubs that have extra sugar. As a sugar addict, that first bit will send you on a spiral. So, agreed, you have to say no and don't cross that threshold.
And yep, what I cook, the whole house eats! Thanks for the vid. Yall nailed it!
I am 2 weeks into keto (thanks to this channel!) and this weekend I was at a graduation party. It was difficult, ok almost impossible to eat what was there! I am down 6 pounds and I am sure many inches. I can do this.
Isn’t it crazy how being mature or grown up to saying no to temptation can be so difficult
I have kids, and they eat what I fix. Parents need to be okay with telling their kids no. From the beginning, when my kids would say "I won't eat/don't want that" my answer was "OK. We'll eat again tomorrow morning (at lunch/at dinner)" and that was it. My kids never expected a separate meal...and they knew that eating or not was completely their choice. The control was theirs. Fix your keto dinner, and they will eat it if they are hungry. If not, they won't starve to death between meals. 🙂
sometimes I say to myself "Doughnuts are not leaving the planet! they will still be here when I am ready to have one"
All we are saying , is give no a chance. ( tee-hee)
I have ben learning to play a Beatles song on my guitar today so I just couldn't help that.
You guys are great! I enjoy all your videos!! :)
When you love someone you do things that you normally wouldn't do out of love for them. You go the extra mile. You sit on the bleachers and wait for them when you'd rather be home. Now it's time to love yourself. This is not discipline, this is love. Saying no is loving yourself because you are being strong for yourself out of love. Love makes us better persons.
So that hit home - really hard. I lost 65lbs on Keto and then gained 50 of it back during the COVID shutdown. Now I am having the hardest time getting back on the Keto wagon because I have lost the ability to tell myself NO. Thanks for the reminder! And the encouragement.
I know how hard it is Janet! Make a promise to yourself to be keto for the next 24 hours, and then keep making that promise! You can’t control months or years away but you can choose to do it the next meal ❤️-em
Hate to admit it, but I am fixated on you girl’s hair. Absolutely beautiful. Have fun with your best points! Your humor and sincerity make this channel work.
A lot of the time I say to myself, "I know what that tastes like. I've eaten that a hundred times. I can eat it again in the future if I really want it. Today, I don't."
I live with someone who is not keto. I make him cook his own food.
Going out to eat tomorrow at a Keto restaurant in my area! I can still over do on the desserts even though they are Keto. Just say no!!!
Finding keto substitutions for my cravings have really been a saving grace for me. Quest pizza helped me kick my trend of getting pizza every weekend early on in my keto journey. It helps so much to try different things to find what works best for u in particular
Yes, I have the quest bars for such occasions.
You summed it up perfectly. Saying no takes practice and gets easier after a few months. The muscle builds. I still want donuts, but I think about the bloating and lethargy that always follows. Some cravings don't serve our wellness goals. I stop and ask myself, "How will this make me feel tomorrow? And how will this habit make me feel in a few years if I never quit/start?" Giving in to sugary food cravings hasn't served me, but denying them has done wonders. Turns out I'm stronger than the ice cream. And my body has been so happy for me.🙂 I love being at my goal weight, having energy all day, good sleep, clear skin, and learning to love new, healthier foods. Thanks, ladies! (Squelch and quench the critics 😉)
I have a friend at work that has a side business of cupcakes. She tests them on fellow employees. She always used to say"i know you dont eat them but I wanted you to have the option" I had to finally ask her to not even tell me when she brings them. I also had to buy ice packs for my lunch pail to keep it in my locker so i dont even go into the cafeteria. I work in a tribal casino that has free food for employees. Its ALWAYS full of carbs.
It’s really hard in that case to resist home made treats because you don’t want to offend people, we’ve been there too. Hate to say but in the beginning I usually caved. It’s great that you were able to communicate that to her and she listened! -Em
Free food is like a free dog. Not really free. 🐩
Love the "tough love" approach. It's what I need. Thanks for sharing!!
Yes. This is totally true. A slide is a slide. I did keto in 2018 and lost 27lbs then I attended a family reunion and lots of pressure more pressure than you can believe. None of the food there was keto-friendly. I was told by the MIL that I needed to eat what was there otherwise it was rude. This time around, at the upcoming family reunion I am packing keto food. I will not be pressured or told that I am being rude. They can be in the 300 and above club but not me.
I've learned to make my favorite things Keto friendly.
My husband is not Keto but he doesn't cook so he eats what I make. Chips are my weakness so sometimes I will make something such as nachos for him but I put all the toppings in a small casserole dish for me and melt the cheese when I am broiling his nachos. Today I made him a chicken Italian sandwich for him and once again put my toppings in a casserole dish and it was delicious! It is pretty easy to just make one thing for both of us and I just make small adaptions for me when that is needed.
That sounds good Susan! Or you could make nachos with baked low carb tortillas cut into chips! -Em
The word you were looking for was "quash" ha ha ha. Great advice!
Or squelch.
🙈 words are hard sometimes! Thanks everyone!! -em
When I first started Keto, i was cooking a separate meal for myself. Now, for the most part, I only cook Keto meals and my family hasn't complained once. Even my 6 year old granddaughter enjoys it.
To me, it does help me to say no, to foods that I would love to eat, the fact that, now I know that that "desire for the forbidden fruit" will pass. I guess I learned that with OMAD. There were times when I was very hungry and, in the beginning, I did not think that I would be able to wait for the time to eat again. Well, ends up that, I believe that motivation is the main key point in our ability to "sacrifice" or tolerate some discomforts to achieve a goal. Then I learned that, if you are able to tolerate the hunger for a while, it goes away. That was the best "surprise" and discovery that helped me to loose 150 pounds, thanks to keto and the support of you-tubers like you Keto Twins and all the people that share their life experiences with us. Thanks to all of you.
Very refreshing to hear this....thank you.
I totally agree with you guys. I’m so proud of myself for FINALLY saying no to foods that were so hard for me. Like donuts 🍩, cookies, pizza 🍕. I’ve been tempted by people with these and I passed the test 😀 and learned how to make these things for myself and not be Dam lazy 😂thank you ladies you are definitely on point.
Going on vacation next week. I needed this video! Thank you!!
It’s like you guys are reading my mind, thank you so much for your content! This is speaking to me directly because I have actually been off of keto, gained all of the weight back which was only 20 pounds but 20 pounds is amazing and I feel terrible and that’s one thing that I have to give up is the treats. Thank you so much guys, you really are an inspiration!
It’s been a year now. I’m down 66 pounds. I have 24 to go. In the first few months, I had stalled, and was soooo tempted by the pumpkin drop cookies…mind you I work in a bakery…I ate 3 cookies, and told myself it wouldn’t happen again. And, it did not. I went on, and kept losing. Then, fast forward to a couple weeks ago. I was at the first function I’ve been to since the pandemic began. It was a bridal shower. I ate a piece of strawberry shortcake, and had a mimosa. I was so absolutely filled with guilt, and shame…I got right back at it, with omad, and egg fasting. I refuse to let a slip up ruin me as it has in the past. I’m planning everything out right down to where we will eat on this upcoming trip to Vegas. Not giving up or giving in. Love you ladies ❤️😘❤️😘
I can’t imagine working at a bakery while doing keto! You are an inspiration! -Em
@@ketotwins it’s very tough, but I want this more than I want what harms me. I probably lost more than I say because I used the last known weight before I had started, because I had to wait a couple of months to get a new scale. It can be tough at times, like when we are baking off cinnamon rolls, or chocolate chip cookies. I take a good smell, look at then, and just shake my head no…just not worth it. My disappointment in myself at the shower was enough. Though, I can’t say at a real point of celebration, that I wouldn’t sip some champagne…I keep a bottle chilled, but have never broke it open.
What you said is really really true. To strengthen your will power you have to practice it, then it gets stronger. Thanks. I needed this reminder. 💪. Its like a muscle. Exercise it to make it stronger👍
Great advise!We Need to check ourselves sometimes!
My grandkids love steak and salad. They always choose salad over French fries. We didn't make them decide but we are sure glad they did. Negative is that they really like sweets. One step at a time! 😀
Awesome advice. So glad I watched. Thank you!
Very good and so true! Thank you 😊
I LOVE this! It's contrary to what is preached by diet "experts" and is super honest and so incredibly accurate and truthful! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I'm going to replay it until it's firmly ingrained! I SO needed this! I have gone completely off the rails. I'm getting back on track RIGHT THIS MINUTE!
I love this! Thank you This helps my mind set.
Thank you for watching Gabriella! -Em
Thank you so much for your videos, I have gotten so many good ideas, and advice from them. I like that you keep it real, it seems I can always relate to what you say. And you’re right I’m learning to say no and it is very empowering. I am worth it…🤪
always like your videos before i watch - been subbed since before you hit 10k. i am so happy your channel is growing and i absorb what you both say, you make sense and make it not so over complicated. thank you Keto Twins!
Thank you for being around since the beginning cathy! We appreciate you! -Em
I totally agree. After failing on so many diets, this works. My health is worth it. Just say no:)
🙌🏼🙌🏼-em
Tell it like it is ladies!!! Thank you for the truth!
So true. There are no tricks or magic pills. Love how you empower people to take control over their choices. Keeping it real, ladies. Your message touches people because it’s authentic
🤗🤗-Em
Another great video. I love the no nonsense approach 👌👏
Wow! That's the best advice I've ever heard! You girls are amazing!
Aww thank you Ellie!! -Em
You are so right and I needed to hear this today. I need to say No more often.
Great advice!
Wow! Almost 30 thousand subscribers at the making of this video and as I'm watching it in March of 22 you have over 60,000 including me! :) Loving the content. Thanks!
The truth about saying NO! I needed this!
Wow! In the last part of my 2nd mo. And went stupid last night! Woke up to you 2 and so thankful I did! ThanQ!
Excellent advice twins thx!
Great point about learning to say no. A lot of my cravings are just habit, like craving something sweet after a meal.
Thanks for telling the harsh truth that I need to hear!
You guys are hilarious.. the dry sense of humor I love! I am subscribed. 😃😃
Amazing encouragement video ladies!
Excellent, excellent video. I went LC in 2014-2015 and lost 65 pounds. I found that I started losing my way and was gaining back a little at a time. I ended up being up around 30 pounds by 2021- still below my high by a good measure but weighing more than I would like. As of tomorrow I will be completely sugar free, including all sugar substitutes for 30 days, as well as all flours-free as well. That has really cleaned up my cravings and set me back on the right path. The many, many "keto" products out there really ended up keeping the cravings alive. That's not to say that there is never room in my life for them again but only on rare occasions. I am saving this video for future reference!
You’ve got this Leeann! You have done it before and you can do it again, I have lost hundreds of pounds (and gained them back) over the last 20 years and at the end of the day, I’m grateful because who knows where I’d be if I never lost, only gained ❤️❤️-Em
@@ketotwins Thanks so much, Em. You two are the real deal and always honest. Love that!
Exactly! Excellent 💝
Squelch is the word you are looking for I think. It means to forcefully silence or suppress, basically it’s like a hard NO.
Yes that was the word 🙈🤣-em
Relish (no pun intended) the feelings of victory and notice the immediate results. Favorite experience: went out with a group. Only one that ordered keto. 15 minutes after eating, everyone needed a nap right then...but me. VISUAL RESULTS! Carrying that into actual 'No's' softens the blow and eventually makes it easier and nonnegotiable. It does happen!!!💜💜💜
Lol! Isn’t that funny, I used to be the same after the restaurant, wanting to take a nap in the car 🙈-em
@@ketotwins girl please. We've ALL lived that life! Carbs was the drug of choice! No more...NO MORE...👎
May I just say, you two are doing a beautiful job! This is the most inspiring, motivating version of this lesson! ..Seems like I have to learn this lesson again and again on my journey. Your authentic, straightforward message brought me right back to center.
Thank you so much Louise! We appreciate you watching and commenting on our little channel! ❤️❤️🤗-Em
You mentioned Rebel ice cream - omg! That stuff is good! I have been an ice cream "addict" for almost forever. I once rode my motorcycle non stop (except for gas) from Dayton Ohio to Charleston South Carolina --- just to get Haagen Daz Honey Carob ice dream. I actually called the company headquarters and complained when they stopped making it and they told me only one of their stores still had some - Charleston. Anyway, I went there and had multiple orders of Honey Carob and rode back non stop to be able to go into work the next day. I do realize, however, that I really really need to say no most of the time for any keto ice cream especially Rebel. I really wish they would sell it in 1/3 pint containers though!!! 😁 Most other things I have no problem saying NO to.
This is life changing advice and has totally flipped my switch! Ive been keto since 5/2018 and in a stall for over a year. I thought I was doing the right thing for my cravings by ketofying recipes so I wouldn’t get bored or feel deprived. After watching this video I can totally see that was not a good plan. Learning to say NO is a powerful tool and not understanding that has held me back. So glad to have your videos and followers to fall back on. Great advice all around! Thanks for all you do! 😁👍❤️
Great advice…. Lifestyle change, is adopting discipline, aka saying NO to temptation.
Yes! The truth right here. Say no and get used to it!
Thanks a bunch… I needed this pep talk to get back on track.. just got home from a week vacation in South Dakota “Mount Rushmore”. Stayed on track most of the time but had a couple days that I fell off the wagon, it’s shocking how satisfying it felt to eat pizza, drink stout beer, have ice cream. I have found very good keto replacements for most of those (still looking for pasta replacement). I was shocked to get back home, jump on the scale and weigh the exact same as I did the day I left for vacation. I have already hit my first goal of 50lbs loss, now I’m looking forward to my second goal of a additional 20lbs. Thanks again for the encouragement.
Nice video, i agree very much. I find many times i am simply craving the sensation and deliciousness of eating, but i know i'm simply not hungry because there's that keto not very hungry thing going on. I know when i give into it, there's something else, a need, a comfort that's more emotional than anything else.
Hi! 😄I'm new to your channel. You ladies look great!! Thanks for the video.❤❤
Welcome Cynthia! So happy you’ve found us!! ❤️❤️-Em
I have 2 kids (and a husband) I don't make them eat keto, but I am the only one cooking. So what I do, is I make all off us the same meal, but eliminate the carbs from mine. If we have salmon, rice and broccoli, I just have the salmon and broccoli, but I have like half a plate of broccoli. Or pizza, I fry up zucchini noodles and make a kind of pizza pasta. Me eating like this, encourages my kids to eat well too. My 4 year old has even been eating my salad with me
Keto is the only lifestyle that people try to tempt the people who are doing keto. You never hear someone tempting a vegetarian, which is a lifestyle that eliminates virtually all food groups! Keto people get lectured everyday: good advice say no: alcoholic has to say no to a drink!
Great video and some things to really keep in mind. Just say no. It won't kill you AND you can be proud that you did say no! Also it was not saying no that got you into this situation. Very good job, Twins.
What you said is so true!
Great video! I struggle with cravings. A good strategy I found is to tell myself that I won't eat it today but if I have the craving tomorrow, I'll give in. The craving isn't normally there the next day and you feel proud of yourself for not giving into the craving. So glad I found your channel!
Pretty sure that would not work for me AT ALL!. I would live for tomorrow when I had permission to eat it. I might even try to sleep til then just to get there faster!
I’m glad sugar has never been my thing. I always craved salt and fat….Keto is perfect for me. My big issue has always been the carbs that come with fat and salt, like bread and chips. I stick with nuts and bacon now. I’ve always been a binge eater so the biggest issue for me has been telling myself ”no” to eating twice what my body needs. It’s a work in progress but this lifestyle is easier for me because I honestly don’t feel deprived of salt and fat, that helps. A lot. Also having the fb group for support is really great.
I agree with you about habit forming with foods we think we need to have or else. I use to eat a bowl of cereal every night before going to bed, actually would eat it in bed, lol. It was the hardest habit for me to break since I grew up eating sugary cereals. I no longer crave cereals but I absolutely refuse to have it at home. Thanks Keto Twins!
LOVE you keto twins! ❤
I'm down 40 lbs in 4 months of keto & intermittent fasting, with NO exercise!
I literally just said NO to myself 2 nights ago, when I had a late night snack attack! I said NO to myself & I survived it! 😁
