Awesome 👍. I was checking out at Walmart recently when the cashier saw my items & said, "are you doing that keto diet!" And I replied, yes I am...she continues, I heard it's bad...I replied, yes it's bad for the pharmaceutical companies, junk food manufacturers, diet doctors and medical industry profiting off of the standard American diet. She looked at me like I had two heads.. 😂🤣
Good for you ignorance should be exposed I do the same thing - an obvious sugar addict actually said to me " I'm quite active so sugar won't do any harm to me" I called him an idiot and it will catch up to you
Two quick notes on this podcast: 1) I didn't realize until after filming this video that the heating vent almost directly above me was open. That's why I look warm during this video. 2) I also didn't realize that my Yeti with the Ron Jon sticker was in frame looking like blatant product placement. Ron Jon should give me some sort of kickback for that kind of advertising. LOL.
My husband is thin and doesn't eat low carb. When I first started Keto, I made him hide all of his crackers, po chips etc... in his office. That was 17 months ago. Now, it doesn't even phase me when I see them in the cupboard. It's like they're not even there. I see them as poison now.
I agree with you, my husband is low carb but my son just eats whatever. I cook for me and if they want they can eat it or fend for yourself. But I too walk into a room and since I follow so many different low carb/keto doctors I have found out that the food companies are just plain poisoning us for profit, looking now at that kind of food is a GREAT BIG TURN OFF!!!
P.S. I'm the chef in my home and I have converted my 16 year old son and wife to KETO through making the delicious alternatives to all of their favorite foods. I've gotten them to about 70-80% keto food consumption. When they're out I still think the knowledge stays with them. They have both lost weight and look at food differently now. 😎👌
Tip for all you keto fans out there. If you're in a situation where you don't want to argue your diet choices or maybe just want to have a little fun, don't tell people you are doing a keto diet, instead, tell them you are doing a "Whole Food" diet or a "Modified Mediterranean" diet. Tell them you eat lots of vegetables, avocados, some meat and fish, healthy fats and you don't snack or eat sugar or processed food or junk food. You'd be amazed at the positive reactions you get!! It's the label of "Keto" that triggers them b/c they know nothing about the science or actual benefits of keto and the MSM is all about trashing anything that gets you off fast/junk/processed food. Give it a different name and watch the accolades roll in!
I've been on keto for 2 years. I lost 76 lbs in less than a year. I'm still on keto and still haven't gained any weight back and have a six pack. My blood pressure and blood work has never been better lol.
@@w8ing4someday honestly it wasn't hard. I was never a fan of bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and sweets etc. They were good but I could care less. Giving them up was easy. I think the big player was beer. I haven't had a sip of beer in over 3 years. Pretty much Alcohol in general. The occasional whiskey but technically its keto but don't recommend using it as an excuse to drink lol. Not towards you just in general to who ever reads this.
@@boss_acg I agree I don't really find it "hard", well not all the time. I only find it difficult when non keto family want to go out to dinner. I used to live on pasta, mashed potatoes, and ice cream (not exclusively but I'm sure you know what I mean). Otherwise I make my own keto versions of these and do just fine, but watching others enjoy the non keto versions while I eat salad and hamburger at a resturaunt is hard for me. I was never a big drinker, a beer or two every couple months was my limit, I miss the taste but not as much as I miss a good banana split :ol
My oldest son weighed 315 lbs and told me a year ago that he didn't like it when I would fast for 48hrs because that's not normal. He could never give up junk food. Well he is now down at 250lbs with in the past four months. Problem is because he has mental issues from birth he's freaking out over the weight loss keto flu etc. I keep trying to to tell him he's not getting enough electrolytes. Btw he's 27. There's a little more to the story, but I won't bore anyone with the rest. It's just ironic that he lost weight doing keto and fasting. When a year ago he didn't even want to do keto let alone fasting.
Wow, 65 lbs in four months?! That's fantastic! However, keep an eye on him and the aforementioned electrolytes. I have read that losing too rapidly can cause some heart-related irregularities. But, congrats to you both!
. . .and, a year later, if he is still freaking out, high blood levels of HORMONE (Vit) D >50ng (125nmol) or even better for his microbiome/DeepSleep repairs 70-80ng will really help him settle down, too! A lot of mental problems, along with our metabolic issues, only occur after D sinks below this evolutionary health & happiness set point for too long, and most in US average around just a miserable 20ng!
@@eliseville wow I forgot I posted this. Well I later found out that he was freaking out because he was having panic attacks. So he found program he could get on the doctor did a routine blood work. And discovered he had hyperthyroidism. Put him on medication for that and anxiety and depression. His TSh is back to normal. But now he won't stay consistent with his other medication. He's back living with me. He's been a handful mentally.
That's too bad 😔 same here, I'm the only keto'r in my house of 7. My husband tries to do low sugar, but won't cut out grain, fruit and pasta, etc. And I have 5 children, so figure that out- yup, LOtS of crackers, etc. The amount of bread that we have in this house is mind-boggling. For me though, cravings are not a problem, I happen to not care about those types of foods. More frustrating is that I just don't have room for the food that *I* want, lol. And I have to deal with a lot of cracker crumbs all the time. Which is VERY frustrating! And finally, yeah, it's very lonely being the only one that follows the keto lifestyle here. 😭
I'm 49 and I love video podcasts on youtube. Let your wife know we think you're doing a great job! I really like "not so serious keto"! I'm also the only keto person in my fam. Very difficult!
I’ve been keto/low carb almost 6 years. I had a CT scan last month to get a cardiac calcium score. This test is not approved by insurance but presidential candidates must have it and astronauts must have a score of zero. The tests indicates degree of heart disease and chances of heart attack or stroke in 10 years. I’m no spring chicken and got a score of ZERO. Proof high fat is good for you 😆
I love your podcasts! The most common negativity I get from people who hear I'm keto is, "Oh, I hear you get ketoacidosis from eating keto." And then I have to explain to them the definition of ketoacidosis, and they go, "Oh, I didn't know that." I made the macadamian cashew butter... It came out great! Keep showing us recipes!!
I must admit, since starting the Keto lifestyle, I have never eaten this many vegetables in my life. First time eating a salad, I gagged, now I love it.
@@lindad100 I gravitate toward salads, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. Check out my broccoli salad video/recipe for a pretty easy one that tastes great.
There is something very unique and strong and special about you and others who think like you do...and I am so very impressed! Making and eating separate meals on a regular basis takes an "enormous" amount of strength and courage! Not being appreciated or understood along with some mockery and still have the ability to keep on going is absolutely amazing to me! I myself crumble under the weight of sugar cravings and additionally wanting to eat what orhers are eating at social gatherings, etc. All of you who remain true to your convictions in spite of the heavy weight of opposition HAVE MY DEEPEST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION...👏!!! And now I see another benefit of keto I never thought of before, mental and emotional stamina joined together with maturity! When I "grow up" I want to be just like you!
Barbara, I used the amino acid L-Glutamine to help with sugar cravings until I was in ketosis a couple of months solid. It’s used for alcohol and drug addiction therapy and is now being used for sugar addiction. You can find more info on dietdoctor.com.
Hi man, Irish guy living in New Zealand here. I have watched a lot of different you tube videos over the years and never felt the urge to make a public comment on any vlogger until now. I really love how you present your content. I think I would enjoy it even if you hadn't inspired me to go Keto and IF for the last 3 weeks. Really love how you described your wife asking if this was just you talking and people watching. I think we married the same women:) Anyway thanks so much for what you do. Cheers, Johnny
You are so right that having a support in the home is a huge blessing! I am the only full time KETO-er in my home. My hubby isn't a nay-sayer & my 12yr old does try to give "some" support. They just don't get excited over delicious keto options of old SAD foods. My hubby is really good about trying new dishes out, and doesn't really complain because he's thankful for home cooked meal after long day of work. I'm trying to educate my kiddo on food labels & understanding soybean oil & corn syrup not best for our HEALTH. I'm a 70's kid & was on cabbage soup diet @ age 9 because my mom thought I was starting to get chubby... then trained eat less, low fat & excersise more... shocking was up to 250lbs by age 30 - had gastric bypass, loss 100 lbs & continued the eat less, workout more mentality, which sadly always ended in frustration & binging. I have maintained 90lb loss over last 15 yrs, but FINALLY having emotional freedom from food because of KETO lifestyle. Sorry to ramble, but your videos have a lot of great conversation pieces. Blessings & KETO-ON 🙏👍🤘
I used to love MadLibs! I started out doing keto alone and then my oldest daughter's mother in law asked me about it and started keto. Shortly after that, my mother started keto. She has rheumatoid and osteoarthritis along with osteoporosis and she was amazed that my fibromyalgia pain disappeared a month into keto. My husband just started his 3rd week on keto. He has type 2 diabetes and his a1c was 8.7 on his last labs. He's been on insulin before and I told him that he could either try keto or get ready to go back on insulin and he chose to try keto. He's already had to eliminate one of his meds due to his glucose dropping too low. Our two children still at home are not keto even though I'm trying to convert them over and my father isn't keto even though he has ate some keto meals that I've prepared and hasn't complained. It's easier now since I do have family in the house doing keto with me but sometimes it's tough to do my intermittent fasting. A lot of what you said in this podcast goes along the same lines as things that Dr. Ken Berry points out in his book "Lies My Doctor Told Me".
I must say I didn’t mind the ad at all. I did love that you announced it coming because most videos just cut out and BAM a loud ass ad interrupts right mid sentence, this was 100% better this way! Lucky to be doing keto with my husband and 2 adult sons, down over 500 between the 4 of us in a little over a year, we even workout at the gym together each day. I probably would freak out if I met you in public (not going to happen as I’m in Canada, lol) I’d go all fan girl lol. Great podcast, I love listening to yours while I’m sitting here crocheting ;) keep up the great work!
I feel your pain with being the only keto/very low carb person in the house. Add to it that my wife is a RN who has recently decided high fat low carb is "unhealthy" despite seeing my 90 lbs lost, 61 HDL, 115 trig (and still dropping). I have done less "talking" and more walk the walk to let the evidence and experience show, but it does take a fair amount of will power on some days where the traditional jar of peanut butter in the pantry looks tempting.
My wife is a nurse as well and my "daughter-in-law" (not yet) is studying to be a dietitian. My son is a certified fitness trainer and believes he needs to eat a metric butt ton of everything (especially protein) daily. I'm definitely on an island by myself...
On my keto diet, my dinner plate is 2/3 or more green vegetables. My blood pressure is in the toilet. I did a 5.5 mile walk today and felt no more stressed than walking around the block. I am 5 lbs away from my college (off wrestling season) weight. You can't tell me that putting bread and Booze back into my diet and replace butter from grass feed cows with processed vegetable oil is going to make me healthier. Shout out to Serious Keto Steve for inspiring me to change my diet.
I don't understand how you manage to remain faithful to keto with a household full of non-keto eaters. I live alone and am glad of it because I know if there were non-keto foods readily available to me it would make this an impossibility. I have been an impulse eater all my life and it has been my greatest downfall when trying to lose weight in the past. So far, I have had no problems on keto and I believe a great deal of my success has been because I got rid of all readily accessible non-keto food items from my pantry.
Very affirming video from the irritating mice data to living with non-keto family. I find the most predictable way to get my husband to eat keto food is to make it for myself, like lots of sausages in the pot of sauce and meatballs. He’ll pick out the sausages. 🙄. Last night, I made keto Asian style meatballs, and nachos/tacos for him and our 16yo son. Hubby took 3 helpings of the keto meatballs. I’m fine with it, but he’s not keto, and enjoyed 4 beers with my keto dinner. Anyway, you get my point, lol. You’re my most normal keto buddy, Steve. I tried a Facebook group, but they are full of keto police and a demographic that I have little in common with. I love your down to earth nature, and dedication to sharing your research and recipes. Thanks for being there.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Keto early 2018. He was telling me about it and I, being the stubborn person that I am, thought that it was a terrible idea. I was doing Weight Watchers and I didn't want to give up bread because whole grains are healthy, right? Yeah. SO I begrudgingly decided to give it a go. Having tried EVERYTHING in the past, and me at 291 pounds, I was actually willing to try anything.... Anyway, in our household is me, my boyfriend and my, at that time, 16 year old daughter. I jumped in with both feet and made the decision to purge the pantry. I threw everything away. Everything. Anything that was not Keto friendly, and wasn't open, was donated to the local food pantry and anything that was open, went into the trash. 2 years later, we still don't keep anything in the house that isn't Keto friendly. That is how I dealt with the 1 non keto eater in my family.. She flip flops back and forth but she has asthma and Keto is actually very beneficial to her. So she indulges the Ketoers in the house. ANd if she wants something that isn't Keto, she buys it for herself and hides it! Love your channel! Love the podcast!
I love your pod cast and your chaffles are a revelation, that's how I found you. My husband loves keto food but he also loves fries, beer and bread, which he has to hide from me :) I've lost a lot of weight so it's really obvious the Keto is working and now all my kid - grown and out of the house - are on it. But muh husband...well, maybe I should get a new one :)
10 months keto today. 67 years old, lost 48#, off bp meds. I feel at least 10 years younger. I wish I knew about this years ago. The hardest part is being the only one in the family eating this way. I really enjoy your talks.
Lol, your wife "...and they like that?" - Yes!!!! We do very much. That comment alone shows just how long you two have been married LMAO. I love these podcasts they are the third thing I do every morning they're out. First is feed my child, second get my coffee and then I settle in to watch you talk. :o) Conrats on the first public fan meeting! Hopefully you sent flowers to his hospital room afterward. :::wink wink::: I started Keto by myself as a way to control my type 2 diabetes. I've been on it 2 1/2 months and lost 16 lbs (I stalled for two weeks over the holidays) but kept it Keto and did not gain. My Blood sugar went from 264 fasting and 320ish post eating to average of 114 fasting - 148 post meal and still lowering. My husband who I swear is the PICKIEST eater alive, decided to join me on Keto about a month after I started (I'm very proud of him) although he has lost about 25 lbs or so in a month and a half because life in the dieting world between men and women is so not fair UGH! lol. He now looks forward to making me grumble everytime he steps on the scale. I'll never admit it to him, but so do I :o)
Great discussion . Tell your wife your talks are wonderful. I've been keto for over 2 years now. Which its by far the very best decision I ever made. But I'm alone in this lifestyle,,have been the whole way except for the utubers on internet. My sister did join me and has turned her life around from being overweight and type 2 diabetic. Only problem she lives over 3 hours away from me. But anytime we get to be together I greatly appreciate it. I've always always loved her but now I feel an even closer relationship with her. I could write a book on how many times I've been hurt and shot down by friends and family. It's gotten so bad I have lost the desire to go to family functions for they all revolve around food. Which I've told this same story on others utube channels. It seems nothing changes for me I feel like a complete outsider with friends and family. I do thank God for keto utubers like yourself and many others. I do belong to some keto facegroups also. But thankyou for the great keto discussion this morning!
Keep up the good work Steve. I too am the only Keto person in my whole family. However the kids are getting interested after seeing my results. I'm 67 and have been Keto for about a year and have lost 30lbs which considering that I was slim to begin with is more than enough. I started to help my husband with his diabetes but he is not really keen. Never felt better. So many benefits.
Hi Steve! Thank you for sharing your experience living with family that doesn’t do keto and the challenges that go with it. I totally understand. Hang in there! Slowly but surely your wife or a child of yours will be influenced and cross to The other side. You are a walking testimony to healthy living and that keto is doable. You are a blessing brother!! I’m starting to influence my husband and at least he is eating less bread and tortillas! My son is also cooking with me keto dishes. But this did not happen over night. You are a blessing! Thank you and we need you. Keep on going with it.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your keto podcast s. I feel your pain about being the only person in the house following the keto lifestyle. Some of my family does sugar free which is great, but not everyone feels the exact same way I do about cutting out grains and fruit and pasta etc. Cravings are not a problem for me but it's very lonely to be the only one enjoying keto foods! I'm a foodie too after all! 🥰
I loved your podcast! I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with so much non-keto food in the house! I just have my hubby to deal with, and he’s not doing keto, but I require that the counters remain clear of any foods. I also gave him separate cupboard space for his “junk” where I don’t have to see it and be tempted! It REALLY helps me a lot! Plus, for me, I am very sickly, with diabetes and all the garbage that entails and I have learned the hard way that if I put anything into my mouth that is not the lowest carbs possible, I seriously pay a huge price, and that alone keeps me on track! I enjoy your videos so much because they help me stay focused! Please keep them coming! Thank you for sharing! Connie 😁
I'm a people. I like it. 😊 The keto movement is stronger for having your voice, in addition to your culinary talents. You're going to appeal to people that aren't reached by other voices. We need as many as possible. Hope to see you keep this podcast up. ❤️
I personally lost about 80 pounds, BP down, muscle tone better, mental clarity is optimal, LDL slightly elevated but triglycerides are so low I was literally told "I have never seen numbers this low" by my physician. I will never eat any other way. No more swelling in my ankles or morning body aches all while feeling better.
Steve, I’m glad you’re addressing the challenges of eating low carb in a household with carb consumption people. My husband is not low carb but since sharing the knowledge of sugar and carb damages to our systems, he has cut out all chips as snacks. That was a huge win for me because watching him eat that garbage was grossing me out! I didn’t want the chips, I wanted HIM to not eat them because of what I knew about the bad ingredients. I’m just not turned on by something that’s gross, lol.
I'm actually going to make this a big portion of one of my next podcasts. Maybe it will be something that viewers can show their non-keto family so that they can hear from a 3rd party how their behavior impacts us.
Let your wife know that not all people "watch" the videos. I turn on CZcams and "listen" to the videos while I work. Thanks for everything you do Steve! I love your channel.
These Videocasts are blowing up lately, absolutely crushing the game as usual, my family isn't really all that keto either, I'm the "last survivor" so to speak in the fam even with my Mom having first turned me onto it 👍
"Never give up" said (supposedly) Winston Churchill and I am so thankful that you're the same kind of guy! Yep, I am also a keto "loner", doing most of the meal planning and cooking for wife and teenage daughter who have zero interest in keto. I do try to "ketofy" standard recipes and then just let them add carbs if the "need" them. Appreciate your foodie inventiveness and looking forward to recipes. And keep those videos coming, no matter what your wife says!!! Greetings from an American in Germany!
You hit the nail on the head - there is profit in the obesity epidemic and also a really convenient way to sell industrial ag waste products into the food supply. Ancel Keys' study was actually on 22 countries, not 7. Not only did he cherry-pick the included data, but it was much easier to "creatively interpret" data back then, too. I think your idea of "Ketofying" recipes you would otherwise try is really the best way to succeed. it's got to become a lifestyle to work long term. I can't imagine ever going back to SAD - mostly because I literally cannot tolerate grains - so, I'm always going to have to eat mostly Keto and I think accepting that makes a HUGE difference in my relationship with food not being one of deprivation.
My husband is worse than your wife. He has Only tried maybe two things I’ve ever made that is Keto. It’s Ok to be the only Keto person in a family. We all have to our own captain of our Health ship. I get what your saying about bad snacks everywhere. That is difficult at times. I did buy a cabinet with doors to put all the crap snacks in so they are not sitting next to my my keto food … u know so I don’t have to see them every time I cook. This helps me sooo much .
I hope things improved in the mean time. You said your DH ate maybe 2 keto things? But I suppose you prepare meat, eggs, vegetables etc, he can eat without specifically being told it is keto.
This video totally spoke to me. I want to help everyone around me but their carb addiction is louder than I am. I know because I myself didn’t fully acknowledge the truth until I really felt the pain and dysfunction after trying everything including weight loss surgery that didn’t really work all that well. Even though friends and family are happy for me, they say, “I’m glad you found something that works for YOU”. In other words, “great for you but leave me out of it” is what I’m hearing even though I never made any suggestions. So sad, people around me are suffering from constant hunger, fatigue, obesity, stress, depression, heart disease, and neurological disorders. And they can’t see the proof in front of their eyes. It’s hard to let go and not talk about my discoveries or my journey, I’m learning to just focus on me. I also cherish my partner and his commitment to our home and health and am so thankful I have a constant source of support. ❤️
No profit, no support. Drug companies or even keto companies. As far as future recipes, can you use your culinary prowess to make some awesome keto ice creams? Halo is too carby and Rebel is too expensive. I love ice cream probably more than any other food, so any help would be appreciated. BTW... If you do decide to make some ice cream videos can you make a few with HWC? Me and coconut do not like each other...😬😁
I just got a Dash ice cream maker and haven't tried it out yet. I have keto-fied a recipe from Johnny Iuzzini's book "Sugar Rush" that turned out pretty good. I'll have to try it in the Dash.
Your videos are great, keep them coming. I am the only one in my family that is keto. Daughter is a Whole 30 would like to commit to Keto, but I like sweet potatoes kinda girl. Husband just refuses to even listen, comes from a long line of sugarholics, and his favorite line is "we have eaten this way all our lives, and we are fine". Sadly I have no tips for you on that topic.
I'm in my 11th month eating Keto. Started out with my daughter, but she quit after 3 months (she started with me so I could have a battle buddy, her quitting time was pre-planned). I live with her & son in law, they cook almost all the meals in the house. Since I'm settled into my food routine, I don't require all the "keto snacks" etc, so it's pretty easy. I keep alfredo or cheddar sauce (homemade) in the fridge-they cook the meals, I smother whatever meat or veggie I want in cheese sauce, my daughter puts a macro count on our whiteboard & I eat what I can out of the meal. They keep to the veggies I can eat as a rule, and they also cook all meals from scratch (which is half the battle as it is!) When they want a meal I can't eat-they make sure I have something I can & let me know ahead of time. :) For the Walmart visitors-I cashier a couple nights a week, and OMG, I wanna tell folks to STOP EATING THAT CRAP, but I'm not allowed to. :P I do spot the low-carb/keto eaters & converse with them, letting them know where some good items are & how to order online etc. I tell people I "eat keto", not that I'm on a diet, because for me it's strictly medicine-not weight loss. I started so that I could avoid taking a biologic for an immune disorder I have. I have been in remission/very low symptom since about my 2nd month "eating keto". I also tell folks that it's not for everyone-because it isn't. I wish it was tho. :/
Your so spot ON! We know what's up! Keto/carnivore all the way baby!!! Never turning back no matter what any article or uninform people say. Third year on and loving it even more!
I feel your pain, I'm the only keto person in my family too. We need a support group, maybe "Keto without Partners"! :) I read the anti-keto articles too and a common line used is; "...once you stop the keto diet, you'll gain all the weight back".
The commercial that played was for a local restaurant that I’ll be going to in a couple weeks for “girl’s night out”. Perfect timing. My husband isn’t keto, but he is when he’s home, because I’m the cook. Good thing he’s a good sport about it. Though I buy him junk food like cookies and candy, it doesn’t bother me anymore to see it around. Appreciate and enjoy your taking time to entertain and dole out some thoughts. I would have been so excited to meet you and your wife.
I was keto for a year when my husband decided to jump on and we’re both loving keto! He’s off meds and down 70 lbs to his goal and I’m down 132 lbs to my goal! Empty nesters so no kids left at home! Our house has nothing but keto and my cooking detail is so much easier👍💪🔥😉👏💥
By the end of summer, we'll be empty nesters. I'm hoping that will be my opportunity to get the wife converted. The main thing I have to get her off of are fruit juices and Pepsi. I can create enough keto snack food to replace the carbage.
I am almost as addicted to listening to your channel as I was too carbs! Thank you for being real! I am somewhat of a foodie. I love your recipes! I’ve been doing keto 6 months. I’ve lost 49 pounds, my A1C has dropped from 13.7 to 6.5! My lipid panel has improved dramatically! I am one happy person! I’ve done every weight loss program you can think of. And this is the only success story I’ve had! I now weigh 144. Haven’t weighed less than 160 since I was about 14!
Thanks for your podcast. I've really enjoyed it. Yeah, I get the anti-keto rhetoric from many sources including my former RN sister-in-law who is convinced it is the same as diabetic ketoacidosis. Since I do the cooking my husband is getting a semi Keto diet. I offer carbs at dinner as an option. Most of the time he says no, he doesn't want them. He has lost 20 lbs in "collateral damage" from me going Keto. I have 15 lbs to go to my goal weight. The best part is I no longer have any symptoms IBS or reflux. The way I feel is more than enough to make this a lifestyle not a diet.
Totally agreed about appreciating your partner if you have one. My husband is nowhere near keto and his family is waiting for me to have an issue (diabetics who still consume sugar, potatoes, etc). It’s hard with all of the cookies, chips, cookies, granola bars, etc. in the house. I try to keep “my food” at my eye level or below and his above mine so it’s not right there in my view and I have his stuff in high-sided bins so I don’t see the packaging so much. It’s hard when the non- keto foods are staring you right in the face. He’s always trying to get me to eat a cookie or something but when you start it’s hard to stop. Sugar and gluten are a really big trigger for me...sugar really is a drug.
Love the podcasts Steve. My wife and I are both doing Keto. This is the first time really in our marriage of 34 years we're truly both on the same page and committed. She is stealthily getting very fit. I'm dropping the belly fat. So much easier when you have a partner with the same thinking. We have never been good at planning meals, et,. She now uses Carb Manager and is religious about tracking what she eats. Let me know if you need a Vikings jersey to hang behind you for these videos :)
Todd Mayclin ... You’re a lucky man, Todd to be able to share this vital interest with your wife. My family has zero interest in either getting healthy or the keto diet itself. My grown daughter ( who has heart failure and diabetes) refuses to even try... while continuing to eat carbs by the hundreds of grams along with the expected weight gain. It breaks my heart to watch her sabotage her life as she shortens it. Would appreciate your prayers.
Steve- Your videos rock! Content, Video/Audio & Delivery are top notch. You are so right about the articles. You've talked before that you did Atkins years ago and lost weight, before I got started on keto, I tried to find the differences, but was never able to answer it, can you do more in depth about Keto/ Atkins? Dr Atkins definitely got hit hard with the same low carb stuff all those years ago. I was thinking about your last blog on ads and making this viable and wanted to give you my thoughts. 1) Maybe talk about not skipping ads, I am not a channel owner, but I believe you need views of these ads. I always try to watch them on the smaller channels like yours. 2) Add an ad to each video 3) I think you left off an option, more videos! 4) does the Serious Keto website bring in any revenue? How about a chat room there?
Steve, I can relate. I'm a female 69 who went LC keto 3 yrs ago. I live with my daughter and SIL who are big carbies. The pantry has lots of of limit things here too. Good luck to you, I know their are days I need the luck🙂
I do the cooking in my family so they have to eat what I cook. The wife got on board when the scale went down and now we are both down 45 lbs. nothing drastic in the beginning just took the starch out of meals. So most meals are a meat and veggies . We are also down to 2 meals a day without snacks. Not sure why we both ate so much before. Keep up the great vids.
Kenneth Rosenberry Sounds like success to me, congrats. It really is so easy, isn’t it! And a chaffle once in a while “a la Steve” breaks up the monatony 😉
I like so many of your videos. This reminded me that I am no longer a slave to food. My progress is slow but steady. I’m watching prob 40 people now with many carnivore. I really see me going back to keto after more results. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks.
When my son comes home to visit he eats what I eat. For Christmas I made spaghetti and meat balls with zoodles. He's eaten it before. He loves it. Side salad. He is so proud of me he eats keto when he is with me.
Great podcast; honest and open, expressive personality, informative, funny, opens up decent shared experience dialogue about coping as a keto (I read lots of the comments to get a sense of viewers) I didn’t mind the mid-break Ad, but it was nice of you to give the heads-up. Keep up the good work!
Love your breakdown of keto bashing articles, completely nailed it. I read an article where a woman complained it was too restrictive, but because it was working so well she made it even more restrictive. Yes the mind boggles.... There is some kind of anti me to movement, I think because big pharma will lose money. Most nutritious diet on the planet, it heals, it works...
Hey Steve, I feel like I can relate to every word you’ve said. Very true and wise. From my “yet to be converted” family members to the stupidity I read & hear everyday. Reports trying to convince people to either eat little or no fat, no meat, no dairy and of course bad-mouthing Keto the whole time. Sometime’s I think they really know that Keto works and they just wanna jump on the bandwagon with their talk on what will make you healthy. Copy cats is what they are. But it aint gonna work. It’s almost as bad as politics. The joke is on them because the entire time I feel like I have the best kept secret. Sustainability, delicious foods, never hungry, feeling awesome. Been going strong over 2 years on Keto, IF, ExtF and will never go back. The moment I started researching the Keto Lifestyle, finding more and more info that reinforced my confidence and it all just made so much sense! Whole foods, healthy fats/oils, no sugar. You speak from the heart Steve (almost directly from my heart to be honest). That’s why “ You’re the Man” 💪😎👍 I’d love to help my fam. and friends enjoy the freedom I have found . . . maybe someday they will decide on their own. Keep on keepin on, livin and lovin every minute!
When I saw this topic over the weekend (about the 'scientific study') I was soooooo hoping at least one of the keto channels I follow would pick up on it. THANK YOU! (In the interest of disclosure, I am not a mouse.)
I was so disappointed in a CBC showed with anti Coconut oil! They are running scared and they should. Too bad for them. I will out live them I trust!! Great video. Thanks Steve!!!
Hi Steve from NZ. Love your videos, thank you. Just hubby and I in this house, me on Keto and him on everything I dish up!! So breakfast and lunch we kind of get our own, but dinner I cook, so he sort of gets keto by default!! LOL
hey Steve, I am also the only keto eating person in the house. 6 months, down 40.. but here is what I have noticed.. many of the veggie items I cook, broccoli and such.. I get everyone involved.. many of the meat items.. i can get them to participate in as well. the junk food in the pantry.. doesn't really bother me any more. so if dinner is salmon, broccoli, and a salad.. for me, and they want a starch, they have to fix that starch themselves. thanks for the channel.
Great video as usual. Tell your wife yep we like watching you just sit and talk to us. I saw an article about the Yale study and practically the first sentence said Keto was a 99% fat diet. Didn't read anything past that. Crazy!
Another great video. Keep banging away at those keto cross-over recipes. As type 2 diabetes I've been doing some form of low carb/keto for awhile. Breads were always my nemesis. Your chaffle research/recipes have solved that issue for me. With great warriors as yourself in the battle, keto will takeover the world. No univers.
Steve, you are so likable, man! I love your fireside- I mean, "barside" chats! A few things that I wanted to share... 1. Before you even finished the sentence that began with, "in a world," I said to myself, "Steve should go get that Hollywood voice-over gig," since, sadly, the actor who performed that for decades passed away a few years ago. 2. You were trying to think of Mad Libs! That was one of my MOST FAVORITE childhood past times... playing countless hours with my Mad Libs books. In fact, one of my friends and I even went so far as to make prank calls (this was the 70s, obviously) and try reading an entire Mad Lib entry to an unsuspecting stranger over the phone, without cracking ourselves up. We'd find a Mad Lib that sounded remotely like it was selling or describing a product... or a political concept that we claimed we were fundraising for (like, Free the Whales or something... again, the 70s!), then fill in the blanks and make the call... LOL The goal was to get through the entire entry, without cracking ourselves up. Strangely enough, most of our cold calls (which, were right out of the Yellow Pages... for anyone younger than 45, Google it!) were totally unsuspecting and receptive! The only thing that revealed that it was a prank was when we would lose out sh%t and start cracking up. Then we would have to hang up, in order to collect ourselves... and lose that round, of course. Oh yeah, we kept score! 3. Regarding the ad placement, I let them play through, because I know it helps you. However, I have seen both of those ads MANY times now, and I will likely SKIP them in the future. I don't mind watching ads, as long as it's for something I'm not familiar with. 4. Your story about being recognized in public... That was great! My boyfriend and I have been working/performing professionally in the "oldies" music circuit for decades. The group that he sings with is VERY well known - kinda famous - in the NJ and tri state area. The group had hits in the early 60s. He is recognized all the time, especially, in shopping malls. There was one time, the actor Danny Aiello (RIP) recognized my boyfriend first and started talking to him! But the most awkward interaction was with a fan in a diner, who spotted my boyfriend and came over to our table to tell my boyfriend that the guy's wife (who wasn't there) was madly in love with him and wanted to "bang" him! LOL Hello? This was right in front of me! And what's worse? It was in front of the guy's kids! People are crazy out there...
(1) I so enjoy watching a listening to you Steve; please keep it up. (2) Love the Ron Jon sticker; noticed it right away even before I read your podcast quick notes. I grew up & still live very close to the largest one in the world in Cocoa Beach, FL.
You are WAY nicer than I was. I am not running a resturaunt, before my husband went full Keto, if I was the one cooking (which is 97% of the time) guess what everyone was eating? They fended for themselves (accept my toddler) for breakfast and lunch and we all had Keto dinners. OR, they cooked their own dinners (which lets be honest most people will not want to do if someone is willing to cook for them). It also gave my husband a chance to see just how good Keto food could be, and I started asking him "What do you want for dinner? What dish do you feel like" Then I just found a way to "Ketoize" it. I think that largely played into pushing him over to the Keto side. My kids are just S.O.L , lol they eat what we buy and make, although if my daughter craves a dish she will ask and we'll ketoize it for her, or as a treat when I'm feeling nice or she's earned it I will buy her the non keto version.
Oh keto Steve, I feel ya!!! I live with my non keto teenage son AND work in a bakery!! Thanks so much for sharing.. what did your wife say about your being approached? It’s a small world. What a great story!! Keto on, keto Steve!!
Hi there, thank you for all your support. As I said before, my mate doesn't do keto, and gives me a hard time about it. I just ignore it and try to stay on task. By the way, the book your talking about was called MAD LIBS, where you fill in the blanks, and then you come up with a crazy story. I don't listen to the negative articles. Thank you for your positivity. God Bless :)
Steve you voiced my thoughts exactly! You and I started keto at exactly the same time with very similar results. Dude I will fan boy geek out on you when my wife and I spot you on our Cooper’s Hawk date night. Keep up the great work, I’ve pointed two friends in your direction after they asked how I transformed my formerly fat self. My arthritis is gone too!
Love your channel Steve. I'm in London UK so not likely to bump into you. I also am the only Keto in a family similar to yours. Fortunately we have our Keto family online when we need support and you're a big part of my Keto family. Thanks for all your great work. Neil
Thanks so much for this!!! I have loved this channel but am even more anticipating any keto-non-keto anecdotes you have. I need to be keto but hubby is totally non-keto and while he totally supports me, he still craves all the rice/beans/bread/starch I can bring him. I can't fault him...if I didn't NEED to, I probably wouldn't eat low-carb, either. Hope you do more videos on how you navigate this dietary disparity with love!
I am also the only keto person in the house. I feel like you do as far as them being "slaves to food", but it's really "carb addiction" quite literally. Carbs/glucose trigger all the same responses as addictive substances. Not to mention the blood sugar spikes and valleys...telling them they are "about to starve! Eat or die NOW!" Keep up the good work, I enjoy your vids very much.
Thank you so much for all you do for the keto folks out there. I'm so glad you mentioned being the only one in your home that does keto. I too am the lone wolf in my home. I'm still battling my high BP, but other than that health issue in my recent Dr visit, she said I have the blood work of a woman in her 20's...I am 57😁😁, but because of my high BP my daughter said, "see mom you've done ALL these eating changes and are trying to get us to do it too, but nothing has changed. Your BP is still sky high!" I guess she doesn't count my recent blood work as coming from being keto, I definitely do LOLOL There are many of us in the lone wolf position, but with your help as well as other lone wolves in the keto community I/we have a much easier time. Thank you Steve ♥️♥️♥️♥️ your channel
Just found your channel last week and I’m so glad I did! You made my morning with this episode: “Throw in a few celebrities” 😂 Great points all around! 🙌🏼
Hey Steve, nice job on your evolving social presence. I share your frustration with the Yale ( et al) study cbait article. At 64, I've dropped 40 lbs in the past 2 years. That kind of press is destructive and dangerous and, i agree is a sign that the plant based industry is nervous. When I made the decision to try keto, I was worried I was going to give myself a heart attack. In two years Trig/HDL ratio has reversed from 3.5 to .66 (trigs from 147-51, HDL from 42-77), but the Doc is still looking still looking at LDL. Keep up the good work. 42k is pretty good in the time you've been producing.
I just saw a quote the other day that said all first year medical students always learn "a patient cured is a customer lost". I also saw an article that said a man lost his job because he failed a roadside breathalyzer test because of keto breath and was arrested for DUI. I'm not joking these were real articles.
Steve I totally understand where you're coming from, it's like when we find something good we want to share it with people and not everyone is going to be receptive at first, but what I've learned from being in recovery is that it's attraction rather than promotion. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Great episode!! I too am the keto-counterculture person in my home. And I too live with 4 other people whose meals I get to be somehow a part of, because I largely work from home. It felt like you were reading my diary when speaking of your situation! Lol I regularly keto-fy recipes as well, and it has yielded an improvement in many of the choices they make. However , the heightened awareness has mostly just caused a hybridization of sorts to where they eat all my things .. as well as their SAD things 🙄thought to their credit, they do try to eat less of the SAD foods because they get the health aspect beyond aesthetics. So, I take the wins where I can get them and keep on keeping on outside the Matrix. Thanks for the time and effort you invest into this community. Lastly, I’m glad God blessed you with a real-life fan to vindicate you before your wife!! ( actually Lol’d at your mock response! ) hopefully she becomes a more willing supporter/ participant of healthy nutrition. Blessings to you all :)
Am starting to watch from the beginning. Great content and it is well worth the ads if you continue this journey. Hope some Canadian products will get into the grove, because, (not your doing) so much more available in the states than here. Thanks Steve.
What a lovely, honest and practical account. Great advice about whether or not to tell people about Keto - I have made a mental note to check myself before opening my mouth. I'll take all the advice except, I don't imagine I'll ever get round to buying the kit to measure ketones etc. It sure is tough doing Keto alone but I am feeling the benefit of the change.
Awesome 👍.
I was checking out at Walmart recently when the cashier saw my items & said, "are you doing that keto diet!" And I replied, yes I am...she continues, I heard it's bad...I replied, yes it's bad for the pharmaceutical companies, junk food manufacturers, diet doctors and medical industry profiting off of the standard American diet. She looked at me like I had two heads.. 😂🤣
LoL, that's hilarious. I hope it made the clerk think tho
I love that reply!
I'll have to remember that one
Thanks Bob the welder
I am going to borrow your response. It is the most neutral and non argumentative response, I love it!
Good for you ignorance should be exposed I do the same thing - an obvious sugar addict actually said to me " I'm quite active so sugar won't do any harm to me" I called him an idiot and it will catch up to you
Two quick notes on this podcast:
1) I didn't realize until after filming this video that the heating vent almost directly above me was open. That's why I look warm during this video.
2) I also didn't realize that my Yeti with the Ron Jon sticker was in frame looking like blatant product placement. Ron Jon should give me some sort of kickback for that kind of advertising. LOL.
Mad Libs was the game you were thinking of.
2:31---Insert Noun...Insert Verb --> Mad Libs
Lol yeah that happens 😂
RonJon should pay everyone who has their stickers on their cars!
My husband is thin and doesn't eat low carb. When I first started Keto, I made him hide all of his crackers, po chips etc... in his office. That was 17 months ago. Now, it doesn't even phase me when I see them in the cupboard. It's like they're not even there. I see them as poison now.
I agree with you, my husband is low carb but my son just eats whatever. I cook for me and if they want they can eat it or fend for yourself. But I too walk into a room and since I follow so many different low carb/keto doctors I have found out that the food companies are just plain poisoning us for profit, looking now at that kind of food is a GREAT BIG TURN OFF!!!
P.S. I'm the chef in my home and I have converted my 16 year old son and wife to KETO through making the delicious alternatives to all of their favorite foods. I've gotten them to about 70-80% keto food consumption. When they're out I still think the knowledge stays with them. They have both lost weight and look at food differently now. 😎👌
Tip for all you keto fans out there. If you're in a situation where you don't want to argue your diet choices or maybe just want to have a little fun, don't tell people you are doing a keto diet, instead, tell them you are doing a "Whole Food" diet or a "Modified Mediterranean" diet. Tell them you eat lots of vegetables, avocados, some meat and fish, healthy fats and you don't snack or eat sugar or processed food or junk food. You'd be amazed at the positive reactions you get!! It's the label of "Keto" that triggers them b/c they know nothing about the science or actual benefits of keto and the MSM is all about trashing anything that gets you off fast/junk/processed food.
Give it a different name and watch the accolades roll in!
That's what I do, or I tell them I limit my carbs and cut out processed foods.
I've been on keto for 2 years. I lost 76 lbs in less than a year. I'm still on keto and still haven't gained any weight back and have a six pack. My blood pressure and blood work has never been better lol.
right on!
Congrats on the hard work and great results.
@@w8ing4someday honestly it wasn't hard. I was never a fan of bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and sweets etc. They were good but I could care less. Giving them up was easy. I think the big player was beer. I haven't had a sip of beer in over 3 years. Pretty much Alcohol in general. The occasional whiskey but technically its keto but don't recommend using it as an excuse to drink lol. Not towards you just in general to who ever reads this.
@@boss_acg I agree I don't really find it "hard", well not all the time. I only find it difficult when non keto family want to go out to dinner. I used to live on pasta, mashed potatoes, and ice cream (not exclusively but I'm sure you know what I mean). Otherwise I make my own keto versions of these and do just fine, but watching others enjoy the non keto versions while I eat salad and hamburger at a resturaunt is hard for me. I was never a big drinker, a beer or two every couple months was my limit, I miss the taste but not as much as I miss a good banana split :ol
That’s great! Keep it up.
My wife: "I couldn't cook for you because you're on that keto thing" *cooks meat and vegetables for my kids*
Alan Angel 😂🤣👍
My oldest son weighed 315 lbs and told me a year ago that he didn't like it when I would fast for 48hrs because that's not normal. He could never give up junk food. Well he is now down at 250lbs with in the past four months. Problem is because he has mental issues from birth he's freaking out over the weight loss keto flu etc. I keep trying to to tell him he's not getting enough electrolytes. Btw he's 27. There's a little more to the story, but I won't bore anyone with the rest. It's just ironic that he lost weight doing keto and fasting. When a year ago he didn't even want to do keto let alone fasting.
Wow, 65 lbs in four months?! That's fantastic! However, keep an eye on him and the aforementioned electrolytes. I have read that losing too rapidly can cause some heart-related irregularities. But, congrats to you both!
@@DonyaLane I know I tell him to eat pickles etc. I just season his food well and make salads and avocados. Thank you
That is awesome. Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼 to your son!
. . .and, a year later, if he is still freaking out, high blood levels of HORMONE (Vit) D >50ng (125nmol) or even better for his microbiome/DeepSleep repairs 70-80ng will really help him settle down, too! A lot of mental problems, along with our metabolic issues, only occur after D sinks below this evolutionary health & happiness set point for too long, and most in US average around just a miserable 20ng!
@@eliseville wow I forgot I posted this. Well I later found out that he was freaking out because he was having panic attacks. So he found program he could get on the doctor did a routine blood work. And discovered he had hyperthyroidism. Put him on medication for that and anxiety and depression. His TSh is back to normal. But now he won't stay consistent with his other medication. He's back living with me. He's been a handful mentally.
I’m the only one in my family doing keto as well. My hardest time is evening when my husband is snacking. Really appreciate all your vlogs. Thank you
That's too bad 😔 same here, I'm the only keto'r in my house of 7. My husband tries to do low sugar, but won't cut out grain, fruit and pasta, etc. And I have 5 children, so figure that out- yup, LOtS of crackers, etc. The amount of bread that we have in this house is mind-boggling.
For me though, cravings are not a problem, I happen to not care about those types of foods. More frustrating is that I just don't have room for the food that *I* want, lol. And I have to deal with a lot of cracker crumbs all the time. Which is VERY frustrating!
And finally, yeah, it's very lonely being the only one that follows the keto lifestyle here. 😭
I'm 49 and I love video podcasts on youtube. Let your wife know we think you're doing a great job! I really like "not so serious keto"! I'm also the only keto person in my fam. Very difficult!
Your sense of humor is hilarious from Jenna Jamison to the security detail
I’ve been keto/low carb almost 6 years. I had a CT scan last month to get a cardiac calcium score. This test is not approved by insurance but presidential candidates must have it and astronauts must have a score of zero. The tests indicates degree of heart disease and chances of heart attack or stroke in 10 years. I’m no spring chicken and got a score of ZERO. Proof high fat is good for you 😆
That is AWESOME!
I love your podcasts! The most common negativity I get from people who hear I'm keto is, "Oh, I hear you get ketoacidosis from eating keto." And then I have to explain to them the definition of ketoacidosis, and they go, "Oh, I didn't know that." I made the macadamian cashew butter... It came out great! Keep showing us recipes!!
I must admit, since starting the Keto lifestyle, I have never eaten this many vegetables in my life. First time eating a salad, I gagged, now I love it.
Same. I'm eating more vegetables and better vegetables.
Serious Keto could you give us more about what are the good vegetables to est? And easy prep? 😊
@@lindad100 I gravitate toward salads, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. Check out my broccoli salad video/recipe for a pretty easy one that tastes great.
There is something very unique and strong and special about you and others who think like you do...and I am so very impressed!
Making and eating separate meals on a regular basis takes an "enormous" amount of strength and courage!
Not being appreciated or understood along with some mockery and still have the ability to keep on going is absolutely amazing to me!
I myself crumble under the weight of sugar cravings and additionally wanting to eat what orhers are eating at social gatherings, etc.
All of you who remain true to your convictions in spite of the heavy weight of opposition HAVE MY DEEPEST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION...👏!!!
And now I see another benefit of keto I never thought of before, mental and emotional stamina joined together with maturity!
When I "grow up" I want to be just like you!
Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Barbara, I used the amino acid L-Glutamine to help with sugar cravings until I was in ketosis a couple of months solid. It’s used for alcohol and drug addiction therapy and is now being used for sugar addiction. You can find more info on dietdoctor.com.
@@kayn1483 Thank you Kayleen! I appreciate your thoughtfulness! Eager to give this a try!
Hi man, Irish guy living in New Zealand here. I have watched a lot of different you tube videos over the years and never felt the urge to make a public comment on any vlogger until now. I really love how you present your content. I think I would enjoy it even if you hadn't inspired me to go Keto and IF for the last 3 weeks. Really love how you described your wife asking if this was just you talking and people watching. I think we married the same women:) Anyway thanks so much for what you do. Cheers, Johnny
You are so right that having a support in the home is a huge blessing! I am the only full time KETO-er in my home. My hubby isn't a nay-sayer & my 12yr old does try to give "some" support. They just don't get excited over delicious keto options of old SAD foods. My hubby is really good about trying new dishes out, and doesn't really complain because he's thankful for home cooked meal after long day of work. I'm trying to educate my kiddo on food labels & understanding soybean oil & corn syrup not best for our HEALTH. I'm a 70's kid & was on cabbage soup diet @ age 9 because my mom thought I was starting to get chubby... then trained eat less, low fat & excersise more... shocking was up to 250lbs by age 30 - had gastric bypass, loss 100 lbs & continued the eat less, workout more mentality, which sadly always ended in frustration & binging. I have maintained 90lb loss over last 15 yrs, but FINALLY having emotional freedom from food because of KETO lifestyle. Sorry to ramble, but your videos have a lot of great conversation pieces. Blessings & KETO-ON 🙏👍🤘
I used to love MadLibs! I started out doing keto alone and then my oldest daughter's mother in law asked me about it and started keto. Shortly after that, my mother started keto. She has rheumatoid and osteoarthritis along with osteoporosis and she was amazed that my fibromyalgia pain disappeared a month into keto. My husband just started his 3rd week on keto. He has type 2 diabetes and his a1c was 8.7 on his last labs. He's been on insulin before and I told him that he could either try keto or get ready to go back on insulin and he chose to try keto. He's already had to eliminate one of his meds due to his glucose dropping too low. Our two children still at home are not keto even though I'm trying to convert them over and my father isn't keto even though he has ate some keto meals that I've prepared and hasn't complained. It's easier now since I do have family in the house doing keto with me but sometimes it's tough to do my intermittent fasting. A lot of what you said in this podcast goes along the same lines as things that Dr. Ken Berry points out in his book "Lies My Doctor Told Me".
Madlibs!!
I must say I didn’t mind the ad at all. I did love that you announced it coming because most videos just cut out and BAM a loud ass ad interrupts right mid sentence, this was 100% better this way!
Lucky to be doing keto with my husband and 2 adult sons, down over 500 between the 4 of us in a little over a year, we even workout at the gym together each day.
I probably would freak out if I met you in public (not going to happen as I’m in Canada, lol) I’d go all fan girl lol.
Great podcast, I love listening to yours while I’m sitting here crocheting ;) keep up the great work!
Those are amazing results! Congrats!
I feel your pain with being the only keto/very low carb person in the house. Add to it that my wife is a RN who has recently decided high fat low carb is "unhealthy" despite seeing my 90 lbs lost, 61 HDL, 115 trig (and still dropping). I have done less "talking" and more walk the walk to let the evidence and experience show, but it does take a fair amount of will power on some days where the traditional jar of peanut butter in the pantry looks tempting.
My wife is a nurse as well and my "daughter-in-law" (not yet) is studying to be a dietitian. My son is a certified fitness trainer and believes he needs to eat a metric butt ton of everything (especially protein) daily. I'm definitely on an island by myself...
On my keto diet, my dinner plate is 2/3 or more green vegetables. My blood pressure is in the toilet. I did a 5.5 mile walk today and felt no more stressed than walking around the block. I am 5 lbs away from my college (off wrestling season) weight. You can't tell me that putting bread and Booze back into my diet and replace butter from grass feed cows with processed vegetable oil is going to make me healthier. Shout out to Serious Keto Steve for inspiring me to change my diet.
CZcams is my keto buddy.
I don't understand how you manage to remain faithful to keto with a household full of non-keto eaters. I live alone and am glad of it because I know if there were non-keto foods readily available to me it would make this an impossibility. I have been an impulse eater all my life and it has been my greatest downfall when trying to lose weight in the past. So far, I have had no problems on keto and I believe a great deal of my success has been because I got rid of all readily accessible non-keto food items from my pantry.
I'll go deeper into this on a future podcast.
Very affirming video from the irritating mice data to living with non-keto family.
I find the most predictable way to get my husband to eat keto food is to make it for myself, like lots of sausages in the pot of sauce and meatballs. He’ll pick out the sausages. 🙄. Last night, I made keto Asian style meatballs, and nachos/tacos for him and our 16yo son. Hubby took 3 helpings of the keto meatballs. I’m fine with it, but he’s not keto, and enjoyed 4 beers with my keto dinner. Anyway, you get my point, lol.
You’re my most normal keto buddy, Steve. I tried a Facebook group, but they are full of keto police and a demographic that I have little in common with. I love your down to earth nature, and dedication to sharing your research and recipes.
Thanks for being there.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Keto early 2018. He was telling me about it and I, being the stubborn person that I am, thought that it was a terrible idea. I was doing Weight Watchers and I didn't want to give up bread because whole grains are healthy, right? Yeah. SO I begrudgingly decided to give it a go. Having tried EVERYTHING in the past, and me at 291 pounds, I was actually willing to try anything....
Anyway, in our household is me, my boyfriend and my, at that time, 16 year old daughter. I jumped in with both feet and made the decision to purge the pantry. I threw everything away. Everything. Anything that was not Keto friendly, and wasn't open, was donated to the local food pantry and anything that was open, went into the trash.
2 years later, we still don't keep anything in the house that isn't Keto friendly. That is how I dealt with the 1 non keto eater in my family.. She flip flops back and forth but she has asthma and Keto is actually very beneficial to her. So she indulges the Ketoers in the house. ANd if she wants something that isn't Keto, she buys it for herself and hides it!
Love your channel! Love the podcast!
That's fantastic. I so wish I could clear my house out of the non-keto garbage that the rest of my family eats.
I love your pod cast and your chaffles are a revelation, that's how I found you. My husband loves keto food but he also loves fries, beer and bread, which he has to hide from me :) I've lost a lot of weight so it's really obvious the Keto is working and now all my kid - grown and out of the house - are on it. But muh husband...well, maybe I should get a new one :)
I love this podcast. You put brilliantly into words what I thought of the negative article. Hopefully yours gets the attention needed.
10 months keto today. 67 years old, lost 48#, off bp meds. I feel at least 10 years younger. I wish I knew about this years ago. The hardest part is being the only one in the family eating this way. I really enjoy your talks.
Lol, your wife "...and they like that?" - Yes!!!! We do very much. That comment alone shows just how long you two have been married LMAO. I love these podcasts they are the third thing I do every morning they're out. First is feed my child, second get my coffee and then I settle in to watch you talk. :o) Conrats on the first public fan meeting! Hopefully you sent flowers to his hospital room afterward. :::wink wink::: I started Keto by myself as a way to control my type 2 diabetes. I've been on it 2 1/2 months and lost 16 lbs (I stalled for two weeks over the holidays) but kept it Keto and did not gain. My Blood sugar went from 264 fasting and 320ish post eating to average of 114 fasting - 148 post meal and still lowering. My husband who I swear is the PICKIEST eater alive, decided to join me on Keto about a month after I started (I'm very proud of him) although he has lost about 25 lbs or so in a month and a half because life in the dieting world between men and women is so not fair UGH! lol. He now looks forward to making me grumble everytime he steps on the scale. I'll never admit it to him, but so do I :o)
Thank you for all your videos! 💜
Great discussion . Tell your wife your talks are wonderful. I've been keto for over 2 years now. Which its by far the very best decision I ever made. But I'm alone in this lifestyle,,have been the whole way except for the utubers on internet. My sister did join me and has turned her life around from being overweight and type 2 diabetic. Only problem she lives over 3 hours away from me. But anytime we get to be together I greatly appreciate it. I've always always loved her but now I feel an even closer relationship with her.
I could write a book on how many times I've been hurt and shot down by friends and family. It's gotten so bad I have lost the desire to go to family functions for they all revolve around food. Which I've told this same story on others utube channels. It seems nothing changes for me I feel like a complete outsider with friends and family.
I do thank God for keto utubers like yourself and many others. I do belong to some keto facegroups also. But thankyou for the great keto discussion this morning!
Keep up the good work Steve. I too am the only Keto person in my whole family. However the kids are getting interested after seeing my results. I'm 67 and have been Keto for about a year and have lost 30lbs which considering that I was slim to begin with is more than enough. I started to help my husband with his diabetes but he is not really keen. Never felt better. So many benefits.
Hi Steve! Thank you for sharing your experience living with family that doesn’t do keto and the challenges that go with it. I totally understand. Hang in there! Slowly but surely your wife or a child of yours will be influenced and cross to The other side. You are a walking testimony to healthy living and that keto is doable. You are a blessing brother!! I’m starting to influence my husband and at least he is eating less bread and tortillas! My son is also cooking with me keto dishes. But this did not happen over night. You are a blessing! Thank you and we need you. Keep on going with it.
Thank you for the kind words. I just hope that it doesn't require a major health issue to bring our respective families over to keto.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your keto podcast s.
I feel your pain about being the only person in the house following the keto lifestyle. Some of my family does sugar free which is great, but not everyone feels the exact same way I do about cutting out grains and fruit and pasta etc. Cravings are not a problem for me but it's very lonely to be the only one enjoying keto foods! I'm a foodie too after all! 🥰
I loved your podcast! I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with so much non-keto food in the house! I just have my hubby to deal with, and he’s not doing keto, but I require that the counters remain clear of any foods. I also gave him separate cupboard space for his “junk” where I don’t have to see it and be tempted! It REALLY helps me a lot! Plus, for me, I am very sickly, with diabetes and all the garbage that entails and I have learned the hard way that if I put anything into my mouth that is not the lowest carbs possible, I seriously pay a huge price, and that alone keeps me on track! I enjoy your videos so much because they help me stay focused! Please keep them coming! Thank you for sharing! Connie 😁
I'm a people. I like it. 😊 The keto movement is stronger for having your voice, in addition to your culinary talents. You're going to appeal to people that aren't reached by other voices. We need as many as possible. Hope to see you keep this podcast up. ❤️
I personally lost about 80 pounds, BP down, muscle tone better, mental clarity is optimal, LDL slightly elevated but triglycerides are so low I was literally told "I have never seen numbers this low" by my physician. I will never eat any other way. No more swelling in my ankles or morning body aches all while feeling better.
Awesome! 😉👍
Steve, I’m glad you’re addressing the challenges of eating low carb in a household with carb consumption people. My husband is not low carb but since sharing the knowledge of sugar and carb damages to our systems, he has cut out all chips as snacks. That was a huge win for me because watching him eat that garbage was grossing me out! I didn’t want the chips, I wanted HIM to not eat them because of what I knew about the bad ingredients. I’m just not turned on by something that’s gross, lol.
I'm actually going to make this a big portion of one of my next podcasts. Maybe it will be something that viewers can show their non-keto family so that they can hear from a 3rd party how their behavior impacts us.
Let your wife know that not all people "watch" the videos. I turn on CZcams and "listen" to the videos while I work. Thanks for everything you do Steve! I love your channel.
For the most part, the wife doesn't "listen" to me either. 😄
@@SeriousKeto Lol, i may or may not do that sometimes too. 🤣🤣
These Videocasts are blowing up lately, absolutely crushing the game as usual, my family isn't really all that keto either, I'm the "last survivor" so to speak in the fam even with my Mom having first turned me onto it 👍
Thanks, Steve. 🙂
"Never give up" said (supposedly) Winston Churchill and I am so thankful that you're the same kind of guy! Yep, I am also a keto "loner", doing most of the meal planning and cooking for wife and teenage daughter who have zero interest in keto. I do try to "ketofy" standard recipes and then just let them add carbs if the "need" them. Appreciate your foodie inventiveness and looking forward to recipes. And keep those videos coming, no matter what your wife says!!! Greetings from an American in Germany!
You hit the nail on the head - there is profit in the obesity epidemic and also a really convenient way to sell industrial ag waste products into the food supply. Ancel Keys' study was actually on 22 countries, not 7. Not only did he cherry-pick the included data, but it was much easier to "creatively interpret" data back then, too. I think your idea of "Ketofying" recipes you would otherwise try is really the best way to succeed. it's got to become a lifestyle to work long term. I can't imagine ever going back to SAD - mostly because I literally cannot tolerate grains - so, I'm always going to have to eat mostly Keto and I think accepting that makes a HUGE difference in my relationship with food not being one of deprivation.
My husband is worse than your wife. He has Only tried maybe two things I’ve ever made that is Keto. It’s Ok to be the only Keto person in a family. We all have to our own captain of our Health ship. I get what your saying about bad snacks everywhere. That is difficult at times. I did buy a cabinet with doors to put all the crap snacks in so they are not sitting next to my my keto food … u know so I don’t have to see them every time I cook. This helps me sooo much .
I hope things improved in the mean time. You said your DH ate maybe 2 keto things? But I suppose you prepare meat, eggs, vegetables etc, he can eat without specifically being told it is keto.
This video totally spoke to me. I want to help everyone around me but their carb addiction is louder than I am. I know because I myself didn’t fully acknowledge the truth until I really felt the pain and dysfunction after trying everything including weight loss surgery that didn’t really work all that well. Even though friends and family are happy for me, they say, “I’m glad you found something that works for YOU”. In other words, “great for you but leave me out of it” is what I’m hearing even though I never made any suggestions. So sad, people around me are suffering from constant hunger, fatigue, obesity, stress, depression, heart disease, and neurological disorders. And they can’t see the proof in front of their eyes. It’s hard to let go and not talk about my discoveries or my journey, I’m learning to just focus on me. I also cherish my partner and his commitment to our home and health and am so thankful I have a constant source of support. ❤️
No profit, no support. Drug companies or even keto companies.
As far as future recipes, can you use your culinary prowess to make some awesome keto ice creams? Halo is too carby and Rebel is too expensive. I love ice cream probably more than any other food, so any help would be appreciated.
BTW... If you do decide to make some ice cream videos can you make a few with HWC? Me and coconut do not like each other...😬😁
John M I totally agree with your request ❤️
⬆️⬆️What he said!!! Please & thank you 😊 🍨
I just got a Dash ice cream maker and haven't tried it out yet. I have keto-fied a recipe from Johnny Iuzzini's book "Sugar Rush" that turned out pretty good. I'll have to try it in the Dash.
Serious Keto Dash makes an ice cream maker? 😮
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Your videos are great, keep them coming. I am the only one in my family that is keto. Daughter is a Whole 30 would like to commit to Keto, but I like sweet potatoes kinda girl. Husband just refuses to even listen, comes from a long line of sugarholics, and his favorite line is "we have eaten this way all our lives, and we are fine". Sadly I have no tips for you on that topic.
I'm in my 11th month eating Keto. Started out with my daughter, but she quit after 3 months (she started with me so I could have a battle buddy, her quitting time was pre-planned). I live with her & son in law, they cook almost all the meals in the house. Since I'm settled into my food routine, I don't require all the "keto snacks" etc, so it's pretty easy. I keep alfredo or cheddar sauce (homemade) in the fridge-they cook the meals, I smother whatever meat or veggie I want in cheese sauce, my daughter puts a macro count on our whiteboard & I eat what I can out of the meal. They keep to the veggies I can eat as a rule, and they also cook all meals from scratch (which is half the battle as it is!) When they want a meal I can't eat-they make sure I have something I can & let me know ahead of time. :)
For the Walmart visitors-I cashier a couple nights a week, and OMG, I wanna tell folks to STOP EATING THAT CRAP, but I'm not allowed to. :P I do spot the low-carb/keto eaters & converse with them, letting them know where some good items are & how to order online etc.
I tell people I "eat keto", not that I'm on a diet, because for me it's strictly medicine-not weight loss. I started so that I could avoid taking a biologic for an immune disorder I have. I have been in remission/very low symptom since about my 2nd month "eating keto". I also tell folks that it's not for everyone-because it isn't. I wish it was tho. :/
Your so spot ON! We know what's up! Keto/carnivore all the way baby!!! Never turning back no matter what any article or uninform people say. Third year on and loving it even more!
I actually let the ads run - which I never do. I love your channel!
I feel your pain, I'm the only keto person in my family too. We need a support group, maybe "Keto without Partners"! :) I read the anti-keto articles too and a common line used is; "...once you stop the keto diet, you'll gain all the weight back".
The commercial that played was for a local restaurant that I’ll be going to in a couple weeks for “girl’s night out”. Perfect timing. My husband isn’t keto, but he is when he’s home, because I’m the cook. Good thing he’s a good sport about it. Though I buy him junk food like cookies and candy, it doesn’t bother me anymore to see it around. Appreciate and enjoy your taking time to entertain and dole out some thoughts.
I would have been so excited to meet you and your wife.
I was keto for a year when my husband decided to jump on and we’re both loving keto! He’s off meds and down 70 lbs to his goal and I’m down 132 lbs to my goal! Empty nesters so no kids left at home! Our house has nothing but keto and my cooking detail is so much easier👍💪🔥😉👏💥
By the end of summer, we'll be empty nesters. I'm hoping that will be my opportunity to get the wife converted. The main thing I have to get her off of are fruit juices and Pepsi. I can create enough keto snack food to replace the carbage.
I am almost as addicted to listening to your channel as I was too carbs! Thank you for being real! I am somewhat of a foodie. I love your recipes! I’ve been doing keto 6 months. I’ve lost 49 pounds, my A1C has dropped from 13.7 to 6.5! My lipid panel has improved dramatically! I am one happy person! I’ve done every weight loss program you can think of. And this is the only success story I’ve had! I now weigh 144. Haven’t weighed less than 160 since I was about 14!
That's fantastic! Congrats! 👍
Thanks for your podcast. I've really enjoyed it. Yeah, I get the anti-keto rhetoric from many sources including my former RN sister-in-law who is convinced it is the same as diabetic ketoacidosis. Since I do the cooking my husband is getting a semi Keto diet. I offer carbs at dinner as an option. Most of the time he says no, he doesn't want them. He has lost 20 lbs in "collateral damage" from me going Keto. I have 15 lbs to go to my goal weight. The best part is I no longer have any symptoms IBS or reflux. The way I feel is more than enough to make this a lifestyle not a diet.
Totally agreed about appreciating your partner if you have one. My husband is nowhere near keto and his family is waiting for me to have an issue (diabetics who still consume sugar, potatoes, etc). It’s hard with all of the cookies, chips, cookies, granola bars, etc. in the house. I try to keep “my food” at my eye level or below and his above mine so it’s not right there in my view and I have his stuff in high-sided bins so I don’t see the packaging so much. It’s hard when the non- keto foods are staring you right in the face. He’s always trying to get me to eat a cookie or something but when you start it’s hard to stop. Sugar and gluten are a really big trigger for me...sugar really is a drug.
Love the podcasts Steve. My wife and I are both doing Keto. This is the first time really in our marriage of 34 years we're truly both on the same page and committed. She is stealthily getting very fit. I'm dropping the belly fat. So much easier when you have a partner with the same thinking. We have never been good at planning meals, et,. She now uses Carb Manager and is religious about tracking what she eats.
Let me know if you need a Vikings jersey to hang behind you for these videos :)
Todd Mayclin ... You’re a lucky man, Todd to be able to share this vital interest with your wife. My family has zero interest in either getting healthy or the keto diet itself. My grown daughter ( who has heart failure and diabetes) refuses to even try... while continuing to eat carbs by the hundreds of grams along with the expected weight gain. It breaks my heart to watch her sabotage her life as she shortens it. Would appreciate your prayers.
I love your content that you provide here on this channel and your sense of humor. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. I have some stuff in store that I hope folks will find really sets me apart from other keto channels. 😉
Steve- Your videos rock! Content, Video/Audio & Delivery are top notch. You are so right about the articles. You've talked before that you did Atkins years ago and lost weight, before I got started on keto, I tried to find the differences, but was never able to answer it, can you do more in depth about Keto/ Atkins? Dr Atkins definitely got hit hard with the same low carb stuff all those years ago. I was thinking about your last blog on ads and making this viable and wanted to give you my thoughts. 1) Maybe talk about not skipping ads, I am not a channel owner, but I believe you need views of these ads. I always try to watch them on the smaller channels like yours. 2) Add an ad to each video 3) I think you left off an option, more videos! 4) does the Serious Keto website bring in any revenue? How about a chat room there?
I wrote down Atkins vs Keto for a future podcast. All of what you recommend are options I'm considering.
Steve, I can relate. I'm a female 69 who went LC keto 3 yrs ago. I live with my daughter and SIL who are big carbies.
The pantry has lots of of limit things here too. Good luck to you, I know their are days I need the luck🙂
I do the cooking in my family so they have to eat what I cook. The wife got on board when the scale went down and now we are both down 45 lbs. nothing drastic in the beginning just took the starch out of meals. So most meals are a meat and veggies . We are also down to 2 meals a day without snacks. Not sure why we both ate so much before. Keep up the great vids.
Kenneth Rosenberry Sounds like success to me, congrats. It really is so easy, isn’t it! And a chaffle once in a while “a la Steve” breaks up the monatony 😉
I like so many of your videos. This reminded me that I am no longer a slave to food. My progress is slow but steady. I’m watching prob 40 people now with many carnivore. I really see me going back to keto after more results. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks.
Enjoying these podcasts tremendously! Keep going! Greetings from Finland 👋
When my son comes home to visit he eats what I eat. For Christmas I made spaghetti and meat balls with zoodles. He's eaten it before. He loves it. Side salad. He is so proud of me he eats keto when he is with me.
Totally agree.. I also watched the ad to support you
Thanks!
Great podcast; honest and open, expressive personality, informative, funny, opens up decent shared experience dialogue about coping as a keto (I read lots of the comments to get a sense of viewers)
I didn’t mind the mid-break Ad, but it was nice of you to give the heads-up.
Keep up the good work!
Love your breakdown of keto bashing articles, completely nailed it. I read an article where a woman complained it was too restrictive, but because it was working so well she made it even more restrictive. Yes the mind boggles.... There is some kind of anti me to movement, I think because big pharma will lose money. Most nutritious diet on the planet, it heals, it works...
Hey Steve, I feel like I can relate to every word you’ve said. Very true and wise. From my “yet to be converted” family members to the stupidity I read & hear everyday. Reports trying to convince people to either eat little or no fat, no meat, no dairy and of course bad-mouthing Keto the whole time. Sometime’s I think they really know that Keto works and they just wanna jump on the bandwagon with their talk on what will make you healthy. Copy cats is what they are. But it aint gonna work. It’s almost as bad as politics. The joke is on them because the entire time I feel like I have the best kept secret. Sustainability, delicious foods, never hungry, feeling awesome. Been going strong over 2 years on Keto, IF, ExtF and will never go back. The moment I started researching the Keto Lifestyle, finding more and more info that reinforced my confidence and it all just made so much sense! Whole foods, healthy fats/oils, no sugar. You speak from the heart Steve (almost directly from my heart to be honest). That’s why “ You’re the Man” 💪😎👍 I’d love to help my fam. and friends enjoy the freedom I have found . . . maybe someday they will decide on their own.
Keep on keepin on, livin and lovin every minute!
When I saw this topic over the weekend (about the 'scientific study') I was soooooo hoping at least one of the keto channels I follow would pick up on it. THANK YOU! (In the interest of disclosure, I am not a mouse.)
I was so disappointed in a CBC showed with anti Coconut oil! They are running scared and they should. Too bad for them. I will out live them I trust!! Great video. Thanks Steve!!!
Hi Steve from NZ. Love your videos, thank you. Just hubby and I in this house, me on Keto and him on everything I dish up!! So breakfast and lunch we kind of get our own, but dinner I cook, so he sort of gets keto by default!! LOL
hey Steve, I am also the only keto eating person in the house. 6 months, down 40.. but here is what I have noticed.. many of the veggie items I cook, broccoli and such.. I get everyone involved.. many of the meat items.. i can get them to participate in as well. the junk food in the pantry.. doesn't really bother me any more. so if dinner is salmon, broccoli, and a salad.. for me, and they want a starch, they have to fix that starch themselves. thanks for the channel.
Great video as usual. Tell your wife yep we like watching you just sit and talk to us. I saw an article about the Yale study and practically the first sentence said Keto was a 99% fat diet. Didn't read anything past that. Crazy!
Some of us pay for CZcams Premium so we don't see ads. It was weird that you said an ad was coming but then nothing happened.
Another great video. Keep banging away at those keto cross-over recipes. As type 2 diabetes I've been doing some form of low carb/keto for awhile. Breads were always my nemesis. Your chaffle research/recipes have solved that issue for me. With great warriors as yourself in the battle, keto will takeover the world. No univers.
Steve, you are so likable, man! I love your fireside- I mean, "barside" chats!
A few things that I wanted to share...
1. Before you even finished the sentence that began with, "in a world," I said to myself, "Steve should go get that Hollywood voice-over gig," since, sadly, the actor who performed that for decades passed away a few years ago.
2. You were trying to think of Mad Libs! That was one of my MOST FAVORITE childhood past times... playing countless hours with my Mad Libs books. In fact, one of my friends and I even went so far as to make prank calls (this was the 70s, obviously) and try reading an entire Mad Lib entry to an unsuspecting stranger over the phone, without cracking ourselves up. We'd find a Mad Lib that sounded remotely like it was selling or describing a product... or a political concept that we claimed we were fundraising for (like, Free the Whales or something... again, the 70s!), then fill in the blanks and make the call... LOL The goal was to get through the entire entry, without cracking ourselves up. Strangely enough, most of our cold calls (which, were right out of the Yellow Pages... for anyone younger than 45, Google it!) were totally unsuspecting and receptive! The only thing that revealed that it was a prank was when we would lose out sh%t and start cracking up. Then we would have to hang up, in order to collect ourselves... and lose that round, of course. Oh yeah, we kept score!
3. Regarding the ad placement, I let them play through, because I know it helps you. However, I have seen both of those ads MANY times now, and I will likely SKIP them in the future. I don't mind watching ads, as long as it's for something I'm not familiar with.
4. Your story about being recognized in public... That was great! My boyfriend and I have been working/performing professionally in the "oldies" music circuit for decades. The group that he sings with is VERY well known - kinda famous - in the NJ and tri state area. The group had hits in the early 60s. He is recognized all the time, especially, in shopping malls. There was one time, the actor Danny Aiello (RIP) recognized my boyfriend first and started talking to him! But the most awkward interaction was with a fan in a diner, who spotted my boyfriend and came over to our table to tell my boyfriend that the guy's wife (who wasn't there) was madly in love with him and wanted to "bang" him! LOL Hello? This was right in front of me! And what's worse? It was in front of the guy's kids! People are crazy out there...
That would be very awkward, I agree. 😄
(1) I so enjoy watching a listening to you Steve; please keep it up. (2) Love the Ron Jon sticker; noticed it right away even before I read your podcast quick notes. I grew up & still live very close to the largest one in the world in Cocoa Beach, FL.
There's where I bought that sticker. 😀
Hi from UK. Started keto before Christmas and want to say thank you for doing what you doing :)
You are WAY nicer than I was. I am not running a resturaunt, before my husband went full Keto, if I was the one cooking (which is 97% of the time) guess what everyone was eating? They fended for themselves (accept my toddler) for breakfast and lunch and we all had Keto dinners. OR, they cooked their own dinners (which lets be honest most people will not want to do if someone is willing to cook for them). It also gave my husband a chance to see just how good Keto food could be, and I started asking him "What do you want for dinner? What dish do you feel like" Then I just found a way to "Ketoize" it. I think that largely played into pushing him over to the Keto side. My kids are just S.O.L , lol they eat what we buy and make, although if my daughter craves a dish she will ask and we'll ketoize it for her, or as a treat when I'm feeling nice or she's earned it I will buy her the non keto version.
Oh keto Steve, I feel ya!!! I live with my non keto teenage son AND work in a bakery!!
Thanks so much for sharing..
what did your wife say about your being approached?
It’s a small world. What a great story!! Keto on, keto Steve!!
Hi there, thank you for all your support. As I said before, my mate doesn't do keto, and gives me a hard time about it. I just ignore it and try to stay on task. By the way, the book your talking about was called MAD LIBS, where you fill in the blanks, and then you come up with a crazy story. I don't listen to the negative articles. Thank you for your positivity. God Bless :)
Really Hope this turns into a career for you
Steve you voiced my thoughts exactly! You and I started keto at exactly the same time with very similar results. Dude I will fan boy geek out on you when my wife and I spot you on our Cooper’s Hawk date night. Keep up the great work, I’ve pointed two friends in your direction after they asked how I transformed my formerly fat self. My arthritis is gone too!
Love your channel Steve. I'm in London UK so not likely to bump into you. I also am the only Keto in a family similar to yours. Fortunately we have our Keto family online when we need support and you're a big part of my Keto family. Thanks for all your great work. Neil
Thanks so much for this!!! I have loved this channel but am even more anticipating any keto-non-keto anecdotes you have. I need to be keto but hubby is totally non-keto and while he totally supports me, he still craves all the rice/beans/bread/starch I can bring him. I can't fault him...if I didn't NEED to, I probably wouldn't eat low-carb, either. Hope you do more videos on how you navigate this dietary disparity with love!
I am also the only keto person in the house. I feel like you do as far as them being "slaves to food", but it's really "carb addiction" quite literally. Carbs/glucose trigger all the same responses as addictive substances. Not to mention the blood sugar spikes and valleys...telling them they are "about to starve! Eat or die NOW!"
Keep up the good work, I enjoy your vids very much.
I don't read those articles hopefully I'm thinking for myself and making my own decisions
Thank you so much for all you do for the keto folks out there. I'm so glad you mentioned being the only one in your home that does keto. I too am the lone wolf in my home. I'm still battling my high BP, but other than that health issue in my recent Dr visit, she said I have the blood work of a woman in her 20's...I am 57😁😁, but because of my high BP my daughter said, "see mom you've done ALL these eating changes and are trying to get us to do it too, but nothing has changed. Your BP is still sky high!" I guess she doesn't count my recent blood work as coming from being keto, I definitely do LOLOL There are many of us in the lone wolf position, but with your help as well as other lone wolves in the keto community I/we have a much easier time. Thank you Steve
♥️♥️♥️♥️ your channel
Just found your channel last week and I’m so glad I did! You made my morning with this episode: “Throw in a few celebrities” 😂
Great points all around! 🙌🏼
LOL Steve, my wife's reaction if I told her I was doing a video podcast would be much worse -- good show, keep doing it well!
Keto connects cauliflower casserole is a big.hit among non keto people.
Hey Steve, nice job on your evolving social presence. I share your frustration with the Yale ( et al) study cbait article. At 64, I've dropped 40 lbs in the past 2 years. That kind of press is destructive and dangerous and, i agree is a sign that the plant based industry is nervous. When I made the decision to try keto, I was worried I was going to give myself a heart attack. In two years Trig/HDL ratio has reversed from 3.5 to .66 (trigs from 147-51, HDL from 42-77), but the Doc is still looking still looking at LDL. Keep up the good work. 42k is pretty good in the time you've been producing.
Thank you, and congrats on your progress. I have my next physical in around 6 weeks. I'm excited to see my lab work.
100% in that same boat with being the only one doing Keto in my place.
Great perspective Steve and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks!
I just saw a quote the other day that said all first year medical students always learn "a patient cured is a customer lost". I also saw an article that said a man lost his job because he failed a roadside breathalyzer test because of keto breath and was arrested for DUI. I'm not joking these were real articles.
This is a good, comprehensive critique of the generic article on keto or low carb diets.
Steve I totally understand where you're coming from, it's like when we find something good we want to share it with people and not everyone is going to be receptive at first, but what I've learned from being in recovery is that it's attraction rather than promotion. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Great episode!! I too am the keto-counterculture person in my home. And I too live with 4 other people whose meals I get to be somehow a part of, because I largely work from home. It felt like you were reading my diary when speaking of your situation! Lol
I regularly keto-fy recipes as well, and it has yielded an improvement in many of the choices they make. However , the heightened awareness has mostly just caused a hybridization of sorts to where they eat all my things .. as well as their SAD things 🙄thought to their credit, they do try to eat less of the SAD foods because they get the health aspect beyond aesthetics. So, I take the wins where I can get them and keep on keeping on outside the Matrix.
Thanks for the time and effort you invest into this community. Lastly, I’m glad God blessed you with a real-life fan to vindicate you before your wife!! ( actually Lol’d at your mock response! ) hopefully she becomes a more willing supporter/ participant of healthy nutrition. Blessings to you all :)
Am starting to watch from the beginning. Great content and it is well worth the ads if you continue this journey. Hope some Canadian products will get into the grove, because, (not your doing) so much more available in the states than here. Thanks Steve.
What a lovely, honest and practical account. Great advice about whether or not to tell people about Keto - I have made a mental note to check myself before opening my mouth. I'll take all the advice except, I don't imagine I'll ever get round to buying the kit to measure ketones etc. It sure is tough doing Keto alone but I am feeling the benefit of the change.
