Thanks!
Aww thank you! You are too kind!
@@technicallyketo honestly, I wish it were more. You two got me through my carb cravings and introduced me to chaffles (which is literally in my phone dictionary now) ❤️
I can't thank you enough for reminding me that strict is not for everyone and I don't need to feel guilty about it.
I appreciate you guys and your take on keto. I have been on keto for 11 months now and I am close to my goal weight. I would not have succeeded if I have been too strict with myself. I feel better on my keto journey. We are all different and the same cookie cutter life style will not work for everyone. I am with you guys; technically keto. I eat the way that makes me happy and keeps the weight off. You up the good ladies I love both your channels!
I only listen to people who have kept the weight loss off. I don’t care who lost what in a year, I want to hear people who know how to keep it off. Thank you for your real life advice. Fad diets don’t work.
I totally agree with the exercise take - I started Keto at at 61 yo and dropped 80 lbs without actual exercise. Fortunately I am now able to be a lot more active than I ever would have been able to be when I first started. I have also discovered that excessive carbs definitely add to the pain and stiffness of the arthritis as well.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, I agree. Also if I’m off keto and have anything sugary my joints start hurting.
Same!! ❤
I'm with you guys 💯.
Stressing about stuff isn't sustainable. I eat mostly clean, avoid carbs and enjoy the weight I've lost and health I've obtained ☺️
Woo!! So excited for you. 😊
Thank you!!! I’m so glad y’all are so honest on your channel! Love you guys!!!❤️
I’m with you guys! I have lost a lot of weight for me through Keto. I will not get nuts over it either. If you deprive yourself constantly, you WILL fail! I eat clean 85% of the time and if I want the freakin piece of cake I freakin eat it and move on!!
I love both of your channels! I love watching you balance your respect for the person who posted the recipe and your honest opinion of that recipe. It's hilarious. I loved how many times you had to edit the frozen whipped cream balls. "Let's get our balls out of the freezer..." edit. Lol! Don't tell me you weren't laughing hysterically!
🤣🤣🤣
Those balls are my husbands favorite keto dessert. I change them up by adding different flavorings such as peppermint extract, orange extract, etc. my grand daughter named them blobs and I always have some in my freezer.
Bravo ladies! I’m not keto just low carb (40 and under) I struggled with my weight for years and only lost weight when I started the fast 800 diet, I can guarantee that if you follow that diet you will loose weight. During the period of being on that diet I realised I was eating too many carbs through vegetables! I have allergies so bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc so they were really not on my radar anyway . Being aware of this made me drop the amount of veg and what veg I was eating and I lost 2 stone. Whilst on this journey my carbs were always way lower than the plan I was flowing allowed and I was almost following a keto diet. Now I have evolved, I use basic keto principles but allow my carbs to be 40 maximum and if I’m having a bad day when I want some beans or a piece of vegan chocolate then I do. I’m straight back on my eating plan the next meal. .. my worst time is when I really want pizza, I’m in love with the Chicago town vegan bbq jackfruit one. I’ll allow myself to have one every now and again, I add extra cheese (sheeps as I’m allergic to cow! ) and meat and I thoroughly enjoy it, it’s a treat! I know if I have it more often I’ll feel bloated and ill and I’ll gain weight…. What I’m trying to say is be good to yourself, eat well but follow the guidelines, if you fall off it’s no big deal just make your next meal keto! Don’t stress too much about it and drive yourself nuts as the girls are saying, it’s not necessary! .. thanks girls for the awesome video, Sorry for the essay! 😂😂😂
I am 80 and on keto steadily now for a couple of years. Really really good program and excellent content!!! Thank you.
It's funny you said "the creator" and "he walks down the aisles at the grocery store"
I think I know who you're talking about and I had to stop watching his videos because at one point it felt like there was NOTHING left for me to eat.
I love the way you approach all these issues. You'll never please everyone.
Your videos and recipes have allowed me to seamlessly transition back into keto after a long pause from having a baby, and now my husband has joined me too. We've already lost 12lbs combined this past week. I know it's water weight to start, but our carb cravings are already gone and we're back on track again, so please keep posting your videos.
There are so many people copying that format now, it’s very popular 😐, and mostly negative content
You two came out swinging on this one and I LOVE IT! When I got my cancer diagnosis in 2019, I went through a whole month where I was so terrified of food, that even eating Keto was difficult. . I've learned to relax thanks to your channel. I'd rather cancel my fear than cancel you.
Thank God for real people. I’m technically Keto and I love it. Thanks Ladies❤
PASSIONATE. That’s what you ladies are! Wonderfully refreshing
What most people fail to realize is that all the studies that label things as bad are done on people eating the SAD or higher in carbs. I used to have issues with MSG with in minutes. Now after 6 years of keto I use MSG in recipes all the time with out any reaction.
Thank you for your encouragement to not measure everything. I hate, deplore, and despise calculating all things.
MSG is a CRAVING trigger for me! Keto since 2019 and it CURED my food addictions and cravings. The freedom is amazing! But I didn't read the label on a new snack of chicken skin chips. Why would it be anything except chicken skin, salt, oil? especially when buying at a health food store? but after the 3rd bag i finally put the clues together that those days and the day following I experienced cravings!!! it was frightening! I was shocked to find MSG on the ingredients list! Stopped buying them, never had a return of the cravings! So pay attention to your body talking to you!!!
Absolutely agree. Life is short and we don't know what tomorrow will bring.
You don't need to exercise to lose weight, period. Exercise is great for increased flexibility, muscle mass (which does help with metabolism and weight maintenance), and mood regulation, as well as overall stamina, but it's definitely not needed for weight loss.
I have insulin resistance and have developed histamine intolerance, too, so there are now many foods that I have to avoid (the consequences of ingesting them are far too awful). But that's clearly specific to people with these health conditions.
Only partway through watching and I'm already loving this episode. Thank you ladies ❤️
I totally agree! My wife and I have been on many weight loss journey’s. Many of which included rigorous exercise and diet together. Keto is the first diet that we have been on that we lost weight without any type of exercise. Also, I never knew that about MSG.
I still eat a little bit of carbs and most of the taboo ingredients I have in my kitchen, and have still lost 35 pounds. Watching your channel has made it fun to maintain a keto lifestyle!
Aww thank you! Your comment means a lot to us!
@@technicallyketo Welcome!!!!!
No one talking about Oliver? 👀 absolutely precious and well behaved!
Great discussion and so helpful, Thank you for the proper encouragement. Many people try to give you those guilt feelings which are unnecessary. Do what works for you and makes you happy!
I love your balanced approach to this topic. When our lives and attitudes are balanced everything works better.
I can’t like this video enough! You both represent such a balanced way to approach food. Being fearful of food is something I’ve had to overcome (thanks to duet culture) I’m so thankful I found your channels.
Aw thank you Robin! We are glad most of you feel the same! It’s hard to stay positive but we try our best lol
I’m with you regarding exercise and testing daily for ketones and blood sugar. I’m Keto OMAD and loving my lifestyle.
So true about the staying in ketosis bit. I've snowballed from an accidental cheatday (or sometimes even a regular "fuck it, I'm having that" day) into a cheat-half year. And during that time I overcompensate because "you're starting keto again soon anyway, so live a little", which actually means "double-portions of almost everything". I gain so much weight in that time it's absolutely obscene.
Thanks ladies. I agree 💯 with everything 🙌 and that’s why I love both of your channels. Don’t change a thing.
Just Walking the dog for 20-30 mins a day is an easy exercise for some… ❤
You girls are so commonsense. I agree with everything you say. There are always going to be people who don't want to be responsible for what they eat. Finding everything wrong with ingredients helps further their cause for not eating healthy.
Great video! There is a Bible verse that says, can you add an inch to your height by worrying? No you cannot! (My version) In the same way we don’t do ourselves any good worrying over every possible ingredient or other factor. Since finding your channels I’ve really gotten into trying new recipes and adapting others to be keto. I lose weight slowly but I enjoy every bite!
Wise words Annette!
Love it!
I follow different keto youtubers for the variety of keto there is.
I watch you both for technically keto. I watch another for carnivore, I watch another who is mostly clean, I watch another who doesn't5 count salad in their carb count but keeps everything grass fed, but says any meat is healthier than a packet of dorito's kinda thing and I myself am a mixture of them all depending on the week, day or meal and how i'm feeling. My son does keto, he eats what I eat but has treats at birthday parties and can eat a wider variety of fruit and he's healthy and happy.
We all need a more rounded view of keto. Thank you!
The proof is in the pudding.🤷♀️ You two have been FABULOUS for a nice stretch!💃💃 Honestly, I WAS one of the people that knew MSG was in the food I ate by the migraine 15 minutes later. But I must say that since Ketoville, I can eat flavored pork rinds, a few, and be fine. When I polish off the bag in a crazy moment, yea, migraine. Most certain now that it was a combination of bad things in my previous eating habits. Hoping this sensitivity eventually goes away. NEVER canceling!! 💜💜 I have a request. Can you make chips with a nondairy cottage cheese for us? Some are afraid to try regular because of lactose intolerance... they are missing OUT!!! 😖
Is non dairy cottage cheese a thing? You should try making them. I made them on Monday and they are so yummy. Perhaps only make a small amount and see if it affects you. There was a time I could only eat eggs completely cooked and then over time my body healed and I could eat runny yolks.
@@AnnabellaRedwood oh woman, SING IT, JUST ATE a batch. I'm gonna need therapy, its my latest addiction!🤪 But some have mentioned that as the reason they can't try it. My heart goes out to them. Good Culture has a lactose free...
I’m allergic to dairy so can’t try, I’m afraid coconut equivalent doesn’t cut it there 😂 .. what I do use is ewes milk cheese and it’s delicious but I don’t think they do cottage cheese and if they did I’m sure it would be rank and soo strong. 😂
@@corran2000 there are some tablets you can take before eating anything with lactose that gives the enzyme you need… it works for me on the occasion I want to eat cheese… ❤
@@jdmosaics I don’t have a lactose allergy it’s just the milk. It’s odd.
Love your channels - always such great information!!
Your dog is adorable❤️
🐶❤️
Very well put! We needed to hear it this way, thank you ladies again
very sensible thinking! loved hearing your perspective! thanks for sharing
You guys are so righteous. I love it! Thx for the constant inspiration!
What people don't consider is that everyone is unique. I have a very fussy tummy, and I do have to avoid too much MSG and gluten. In fact, it looks like I likely have Celiacs Disease. So it makes sense for me to avoid it. Other people can eat it just fine. So why should they give it up if it doesn't bother them in any way? They should give it up, because it bothers me? I'd never say that. People get on their soapbox. Live and let live. Do what works for you. Love your videos.
This is a great message! Thank you for this. Relaxed is good.
Thank you for your reasonable and sustainable approach. I love your channels!!
I LOVE your content. I LOVE that you always say what I am thinking! Thank you ladies for your honesty. ❤
Thanks! Y’all are amazing ❤️… wonderful advice
This is why I love you guys! You're practical and you don't give in to hype. Very well said. I'm old, and have been through so many food fads and have finally come to the conclusion you have stated.
People need to just live their best life and let others do what's best for them! So I say you do you boo and I'll do me. I've been on lazy keto for 4 1/2 years now with a total loss of 120 lbs. And I couldn't be happier. Oh, and no, I do NOT exercise. The most I do is walk at work. Lol. You gal's rock!!!💕💕
This was great! Thanks for putting it out there. Love you guys and your healthy attitude to this lifestyle. ❤
Thanks for this video. I agree with y’all on these topics.
So many labels for foods that seem so extra and unneeded.
I believe in the way you feel whole heartedly! There really is no way to know the truth of the label unless you grow it yourself and god only knows what is in your dirt anyways. I have lost 70 on a relaxed way just paying attention to what I put in my mouth. I love you guys
Love your channels. Thanks for the great information
That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I don’t stress about it any more. I started like that but I don’t anymore. I have lost 105lbs and I’m in a comfortable wait right now. My doctor says I’m perfectly fine. So, I am! Yay! I eat like you guys exactly! Thank you!! 💗💓
Wow, congratulations Myrna! That’s incredible!
Thank you for sharing & being encouraging! Blessings & hugs! 💞
Yes, yes, yes!! Thank you ladies! Balance and peace and truth! Keep up the great work!
Cheers to you both! I really appreciate your relaxed take on keto and food.
Thank you ladies! Informative and entertaining as usual. 😄
You two are so refreshing, thank you!
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing what most of us are doing anyway. 👍😊
Great message..
Just helped my journey..
Thanks 😊
You girls being great content on both channels. Honest and lots of humor ❤️❤️
❤️❤️
This was very informative. I was caught in the trap with the carrageenan and msg. Thank you for all you do.
I love both your channels and agree with you two 100 percent! People just got too uptight. Gotta do what makes you happy and keeps keto sustainable.
Love watching you both and your videos. Wouldn’t miss any of them! You’re both down to earth and so real, my kind of people. God bless you both and know that we appreciate your video contents, so helpful.
GREAT VLOG!!!! I love the story you share about your father. LOL God love him. I’m so happy you two put this out there. Everything you mentioned is sooo true. I know I’m one of those individuals that tends to be all or nothing. How exhausting!!!! I am so much better about behaving like that. Thanks again so very much for your honesty and sharing facts! Loved the MSG story. I never heard that. Great job ladies. Love you both and your adventures in preparing and trying different things. 😊 What a win when you find something many of us love.
So, first, I have to say that I love watching you wonderful ladies - both channels! I tend to align with your message completely, and I'll say it this way "anyone thinking of following a keto lifestyle, needs to find the approach that is sustainable for them". For me, it is almost exactly as you both have said - I do clean keto most of the time, and some dirty keto days, and guess what - sometimes I have regular food BUT I get right back to keto the next day. I try to make those times very rare, but that approach is sustainable for me. I have sent SO many of my friends who want to follow keto to your channel because you both take a 'real world' approach (as do I). I WILL say/emphasize that some people really should monitor their glucose initially if they are diabetic or prediabetic, primarily to determine which foods may cause an insulin spike. I don't, but I also don't have any known insulin issues.
Thank you so much for posting this. IT really helped me. ❤
You are so right……love your content. You made me smile because I’ve been there done that. I’m still giving it my best shot.
Thank You both for your time and willingness to help others navigate through their journey.
👋❤ Beautiful Emily🌹 Beautiful Sarah 🌹 ☝️And THAT is why I love you both❣ I love love love "Accent" salt pure msg, I use it on my salads, steaks, spinach 😋 it is my favorite seasoning, I have my blood work done every three months and besides my thyroid and A1c, labs are excellent. I love your honest answers especially because you are willing to do what most people do not do, "Research" !
You ladies are absolutely correct Moderation is truly the key for anyone.
You both look AMAZING ❤💪❤
~Kaye
I love your REALISTIC ATTITUDE about Lifestyle choices regarding your weight loss. I’m relatively new to Keto and your honest experience makes great sense and is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing
I had no idea about the carrageenan, thank you for the information!
This is why I enjoy your channels so much. I can put enough pressure on myself if I put my mind to it but humans are imperfect. I like to stay clean but to much regimen for me will make me go off the rails. I was strict carnivore when I found your channel and found my perfect balance for cheat days in keto. Your recipes make me pretty happy. I always appreciate the honesty that comes with your videos.
Aww thank you! Congrats for finding the balance that works for you!
Thank you for being the voice of reason. Love your channel! 🌷
The real, real. Authentic and appreciated. Thanks for both channels.
❤️❤️
You guys are just great. You are both an inspiration and positive affirmation for a healthy living life style! I've been doing keto on and off for 20 years and you guys have made this hopefully final and permanent round more enjoyable. Thank you so much.
Aw thank you! Sometimes we feel like we are in the minority of people who do keto this way, we are grateful for the support!
You guys are the best!! I am so tired of the Ketopolice!!! I'm even more tired of being convinced that if I don't have a certain gadget, then I'm a failure!! I'm like you, I think, I'm fine if others need data, but I'm not into it!! I refuse to believe an app or a watch can tell me what kind of sleep I got last night!! I only found you two again, about a month ago, but you have not only saved my sanity but saved my life!! Thanks for all you do!!
I've been keto 40yrs started at 28yrs old now 68yrs old. Then almost 6 weeks ago started carnivore and felt great until 5days ago now got terrible pain on my lower left side. Now I'm back on keto and staying there. Plus didn't lose and oz. Keto is the best lifestyle some people do great on carnivore but it's not for everyone.
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love Both of your channels. In this lifestyle, in my opinion, we have to pick our battles. I can’t justify buying all organic “high priced” products. At this current time I’m fortunate to buy what I can. 😳 Again, thank you 😊
We are the same Kathy, we do the best we can
This video absolutely solidified my appreciation for your channels. I appreciate the honesty and transparency. I’ve been keto since April 2020 and lost 60+ lbs. The last 5 months have been a challenge for me and I’ve gained about 13 lbs. I’m diabetic, celiac and extremely sensitive to gluten. I’m inspired to keep going on keto, thanks!
Both channels are great but love the cooking and funny, quirky humour mostly 🤗
Aww thanks! We appreciate your support!
You guys are such a nice reality check. Thx
I’m thankful to you ladies for standing firm on your convictions about this lifestyle! Technically keto is as keto as I want to be, or intend to be, and all because I have y’all to model after! Thanks so much for all y’all do!
❤️🤗
Thank you so much for your honesty and trying to relieve some of the false fears!! So appreciate this..
Thanks for your support Jane!
I have done keto since October 2022. I have lost 35 pounds, with no exercise. My weight now is 130 at 5'6.
THANKS to you!!! Telling it like it is!!
I've been keto/ low carb and started it 6 years ago because I was hoping it would help with my health issues and for the most part I'm doing pretty well. I've never pricked my fingers, only counted carbs
I kept a journal and created healthier habits etc. And I don't stress about if I choose to once in a blue moon, eat a non keto treat. I'm celebrating 36 years of marriage on Valentine's day and, yes we're having a bottle of merlot with our dinner and probably dessert too 😁 I think everything you girls talked about was right on point!!
Happy anniversary 💕
@@AnnabellaRedwood thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing Jacqueline! Happy anniversary!
@@technicallyketo thank you!
Love you ladies!!! You make me feel so good and normal. I do dirty keto, mostly just cutting sugar and carbs but it works and I don't feel guilty if on a special occasion we go out to eat. I do try to eat more low carb but it isn't always possible. You do not need to ever apologize, you are upfront and honest and if anyone gives you grief just block them.😉
Love it! That is why I follow you, I don’t do macros or counting, I try my best and I’m losing and that is what is important for me.
Thank you for this video! You just made me feel 100% better today! One question I have to ask, what is that thing behind you that looks like a spaceship? Love your videos!
It’s our hydroponic growing system, we just harvested all the veggies and need to fill it again :)
I absolutely love you two! I am diabetic, type 2. All my adult life I have stressed about food! I’m over it! I’m eating Whole Foods, and OMAD. I’m down 15 pounds in 5 weeks. MANY more to go. But I’m truly happy that food is no longer dictating every minute of my life. ❤ And my blood sugar is down from 160 to 110!
Keep up the good work I love to hear the truth instead of all the negativity that idiots run with. I promote your channel completely. Thank you for not giving incorrect information.
Thank you so much for your channel. I totally agree that you need to have a relaxed approach to this lifestyle for it to be sustainable! Btw love your cute dog 🐕
🐶❤️
awesome segment! you two are so very wise!! such great balance of mind and wonderfully intelligent insights. i'm fully technically keto and it is so manageable that i know i can continue it for life. thank you so much for your honesty and continual inspiration! and most importantly;
laughs...
Haha thank you for laughing along (or at) us ;)
I tried to use the clean salad dressings and they tasted gross and cost a lot. Now we just use regular salad dressing and use a little less. We are staying healthy and maintaining our weight so we are good. You ladies are great.
I am so thankful for your channel! I have never had steady success like I have had with following your somewhat casual method. I am eight months in and I truly think this is the most sustainable for me. Those migraines I was diagnosed with in the 80's...my mom was told it was probably caused by msg. Had migraines monthly for decades. They were debilitating! Still had them even though msg was avoided. Guess what!?! Still have msg in some of the foods I eat. I avoid wheat almost altogether. The migraines have not returned!
I super love how you both talk about doing what works best for each individual! That is so much more encouraging to me than some ultra strict plan. Thanks, ladies!
Thanks for sharing Heather!
I think it's funny, all these people saying "you have to have a continuous glucose monitoring device" and at the same time, "trust the system." You can't have it both ways. It either works or it doesn't. I wasn't in ketosis yesterday. I ate a whole carton of Ben and Jerry's Pfish Food and I'm not ashamed. Back to it today. Great video ladies.
Lol never tried that flavor! Sounds fun!
This was the best video ! Tells a lot. Cuts through the bull.... thank you
I took sugar out of my equation several years ago. The occasional carb happens. But I think you guys hit on it exactly. The dietary police want us scared, upset and available to their latest propaganda. The average dieter can fall into a temporary OCD in nothing flat and that makes those companies more money. When we are scared or upset a natural hormone called cortisol is triggered which prevents us from relaxing and losing weight. Insidious isn't it? I'd love to see a video "Keto is a lifestyle; not a prison sentence." Thank you both for keeping it real, relaxed and non-judgmental. I took off and have kept off 35# for five years.
I love you ladies!! Keep up the amazing and hilarious videos on BOTH channels
On those blood monitors, when they ask you to promote, maybe you should turn it around on them and say don’t pay us, give the product to people who truly need it!
Thanks for being well-prepared and -informed. I'm with you on the intrusive fear-promoting economy and refuse to spend my obsessive-focus on ultimately-meaningless numbers. Exercise for its own sake is boring and dogmatic = distasteful. So I try to lift and carry as many different things, dig as many garden spots, and generally to get back on my bike soon. BTW, Prairie Farms Dairy, available in Milwaukee, has a garlic and parm cottage cheese. I've seen it at Oak Creek Woodman's.
Preach!!! You gals are right on track.
Yep, totally agree with you two. ❤
One of the best pieces of advice I got from you, way back when your channel was just starting to grow, was the 70/30 rule.
Stick to simple whole foods 70% of the time and you’ll do fine. I think I stick to it better than 70% of the time, but there is that grace there as a cushion, which prevents me from getting all stressed out and giving up keto because I had a non-keto day.
Just keto on and live a life of joy as best you can.
❤️❤️
I'm totally of the same mind set. 80/20 and enjoy your life.
Just found both of your channels..Love you take on Keto. Really sensible..Your dog is adorable, what kind is he??
Hi Debi! He’s half hairless Chinese crested and half Pomeranian 🐶
Great content so would you do a segment if you do macros -calories etc that would be interesting
