We are Emily and Sarah, identical twin sisters from Chicago who have lost 160 lb following a ketogenic lifestyle. We would love to be a part of your ketogenic weight loss journey! We post recipes, vlogs, advice and motivation about weight loss and keto. We are proof that keto is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle that we intend to follow forever!
We are not medical professionals, we are just sharing our ketogenic weight loss journey. It is always recommended to ask your doctor if a lifestyle change is right for you before starting.
Thank you, Emily, for making yourself vulnerable. I adore the 2 of you.
Please believe me if you hadn’t mentioned this I would NEVER have noticed!!!
I hope you've gone to the dermatologist. I'm not trying to be fake nice, I truly did not notice anything about your face other than you are both lovely women.
Yes! I did not notice, either
Same! I also agree with the dermatologist suggestion.
I agree
She mentioned seeing a dermatologist in the video.
Oh, you both don’t need Botox, it’s poison, natural beauty is best, and you both are beautiful, lovely girls. Beauty on the inside is more important than outside, but you both have both ! ❤
I hope your stress level is better now. Grief takes time. Be patient with yourself. ❤
I’m so sorry. Same thing happened to me. At 31 years it started. Thousands of dollars on dermatologists, pills, skincare, Accutane twice, laser treatments. Keto, intermittent fasting, and the last round of accutane finally gone. I’m 56 years old.
so generous and kind (and brave) to share this
For some reason I'm not able to comment. So I added it here. I used to get a huge zit. I realized it was due to constipation. Since you were traveling, that could be it.
@@carolgonzales4262
Me too. My forehead gets more zits
One of my many talents is the ability to take a pimple that you couldn’t see if you were sitting next to me on a couch and turn it into a pimple that could be seen from the space station!! I’m 74 now and I think my pimple days are behind me now, but when I was younger it was brutal at times! You girls are so cute! Love watching…❤️
It takes courage to share your story. I hope that people who need to hear what you have to say and who would benefit from your experience find this channel. Thank you, Emily.
My son stopped eating dairy and that helped him tremendously!
Me too. Goat and sheep are fine for me
I guess the advice that I would give is don't beat yourself up over things. We do the best we can with what we know, but we also don't have to live up to any standards other than our own.
I'd like you to talk more about emotional eating and how it affects your mental health and strategies to combat it
thanks for the suggestion!
I would highly recommend Dr Idriss here on CZcams. She’s a dermatologist and shares so much helpful info. Focus on gentle barrier repair products to heal the barrier then go from there with adding other stuff.
I have found IT cosmetics, which was designed with someone who has rosacea, to be very effective at covering hyperpigmentation
I just use castor oil, it works amazing
Me, too!
me too!
Same here
Ive heard that! I'm too lazy to even do that.
How do you use it? I bought some a while back for my eczema, which is not on my face, and it didn’t help. What’s your routine?
I'm sorry that happened to you Emily and I hope you recover completely. You are both SO gorgeous! I just found your channels a few weeks ago and have been binge watching. Beautiful lips, hair, eyes, LOTS of great humor. You are both definitely beautiful inside and out!
You are both beautiful, inside and out. Love your videos! ❤
I love both your channels and am happy that you have expanded the opportunity to spend mote time with you!
Personally I like listening to someone who is a real transparent person who struggles like I do. I feel like were on a team when you can identify with who you are watching and that its ok to not be perfect but the choices we make can help you make progress and progress is attainable. I think you are both pretty women. Anyone who says you are not are focusing on one imperfection and not the whole picture. I know you cant take away the insecurities but you do positively affect your fans.
I immediately hit the subscribe button and the like button before even listening to your story🥰
Aww thank you!
Deep breathing is relaxing, tai chi and chi gong is relaxing for me.
I never had a problem until I was 30 ish, in a sad disfunctional marriage and dealing with my Mom's terminal cancer diagnosis and 5 yrs of care😢. I had to constantly mess with chin breakouts and now I have small scars
sounds like emilys story :( so sorry about your mom
Hola froma former Chicago resident living in Cuernavaca, Mexico. You are both gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
Bless you both.
I thoroughly enjoy the two of you on both channels.
Wise words!
You guys are great. Loved your comments about advice. Very funny and true!
Thank you Emily for making yourself so vulnerable. Love your channels ❤
I’m very interested in the red light therapy… thanks for sharing
Wow!! Thank you so much for this video. At 42 years old I just learned a lifetime of great information that would’ve been useful long before now. Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It makes complete sense. I love your videos. I will continue to watch them ❤❤
Your hair looks amazing thick and healthy. Focus on your positives. Thanks for the information on skincare.
It sucks that that happened to you, you are beautiful and I’m just glad you figured it out. Tyfs!💜
Idk why you can’t keep your KT SIGNING OUT dig out - I personally love it! ❤
Thank you Emily for your transparency! Prayers that you will figure out what is best for your healing. - Michelle
Bless ur heart! I never dealt with that either, but that is important to help others. So sorry. Y'all are a wealth of knowledge to be so young. Thank you
thank you for watching nancy!
I'm sorry about the loss of your father. I think your content is amazing. It has helped me with my weight loss journey. Keep up the great work!
I'm just wondering who said you gals had to be PERFECT to be here??? You two pour it all out on the ground for us, and that's what we're here for...
Have you researched castor oil for your face? Restarting my locs, so I use it on my hair and my face seems to appreciate it as well! 🤭
Hey!, how bout telling us how that HAIR stays looking fabulous? 🤔
I have “researched” it, but that means nothing because my “research” led me here 😂-Em
Society says women should look perfect.
My heart absolutely breaks for all the stress you've gone through over your face. I had 💯 Not Noticed anything over this last year - honest! I'm so glad to see that things have turned around. You both are just such amazingly sweet, raw, open people = that I truly love to watch!!
Perhaps you two have never dealt with this issue, but I'm only 6 months into my low carb / keto lifestyle. I've been doing really well, however I am still dealing with a lot of swelling in my calves/ ankles. (Especially at night when I pull my socks off). Any tips or tricks? I thought a month of keto would've solved that issue, but sadly it's not yet.
You're very brave to be so honest, it can't be easy dealing with everything that you have had happening over the last year, and then having unhelpful and hurtful comments online too. As many others have said, you're both beautiful girls and I honestly can't say that I ever noticed anything amiss but then again, I don't look for that kind of thing! I just really enjoy your videos and love that you are so down to earth and "ordinary" for want of a better word. With regards to your psoriasis on the forehead, my son had treatment after treatment for years for a rash across his forehead until a new GP in our surgery suggested he could be coeliac...and he was! He now follows a gluten free diet and the rash has never come back.
Glad to see your new channel!❤❤❤ Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. Have you seen a dermatologist?
She mentioned seeing a dermatologist in the video.
You both are awesome. You are beautiful. I just subscribed to your second channel. I have been a keto twins follower since I first came across that channel.. I totally understand. I am 71 and I have been on keto for about 4 years. I have slimmed down as a result but I spend about 2 hours a day working on my face trying to keep myself from showing my age. I do face yoga, face exercises, guasha and of course plucking. Very exhausting but I think it is all worth it in the end
Love your new channel...
Love that protect as well ❤❤❤
Sunscreen, kindness to your face and allow yourself time to heal. In the meantime, red or orange color corrector. Fenty Beauty makes one that seems popular. Good for age spots too. That’s how I know about this. You two are beautiful and amazing!
You never mentioned going to a dermatologist. Anyway, at this point in your healing they may recommend Tretinoin for the scarring.
I have been prescribed it, afraid to start anything new at this point, I might start slow. Once a week to start
@@technicallyketoSandwich it with moisturizer too (so moisturizer first tret, then moisturizer on top) to buffer it a bit, it can help the dryness Tretinoin can sometimes bring on
I used sandwich method and started twice a week with no problems…my prescription so far is very low strength tretinoin through Agency online. I just started it the past 4 weeks. They will increase dose in next followup.
Retinaldehyde is gentler than tret and more active than retinol. Everything with derm support.
You both have amazing hair. What is your hair care routine?
I've had luck with niacinamide from The Ordinary paired with their retinol to fade my dark spots. It took almost three months but my before and after photos showed definite improvement.
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this, at the same time dealing with your father’s death. I would urge you to see a dermatologist. They can really help you.
I love you both so much please never leave
we have no plans on leaving! :) We love making videos and the community that we have built! thank you for watching
The good news: you still look great! Nice advice: make an appointment with a dermatologist who specializes in aesthetic treatments. They may have a different take on things.
♡ Big HUGS!
My daughter takes Pantetine, it’s a vitamin supplement that works very well for her. She also takes Dr. Berg’s Adrenal & Cortisol Support and Adrenal Stress, which work really good for stress. I hope this helps.
This Indiana white (like almost clear) girl went to Miami a few years ago and the sun gave me these two “sun spots” that are darker than the rest of my face. I hate those things. Covering them up doesn’t work. I share that to let you know as far as face issues go, I understand. Even so, I think you both are so pretty. I very much enjoy your fb page (great community) and your channels here. You are so real, so helpful, and I trust you.
Thanks for sharing 😢 hopefully it will fade with time
I really enjoy watching you two! You are so generous and funny! I’m so sorry that Emily is suffering with this, but I was glad to hear about the probiotic. Maybe look into Dr. William Davis book Super Gut. A healthy gut is very important and with everything you have been through your gut might need a bit more support. His “yogurt” might just help. Read other reviews about his book. And just like you said, be patient. Keep us posted. 💖
❤️❤️
God love you! Give yourself GRACE! You have been through a LOT! Be patient with yourself. We live you BOTH for who you are! 🥰💜
Thanks, Emily for sharing your struggle. Right now I'm dealing with a traveling rash on my neck and face. Doctor at Walk-in clinic prescribed Prednisone. 2.5 days later it's going away, thank God! Might have been a bug/spider bite or a new feather pillow 🤔 Have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🎶💐🌞
The Keto-Twins :D Thanks for the tips :)
🤗🤗
Thanks, as always, for your bravery with being vulnerable. I’ve been there, too. Best advice you will receive … the only advice you should follow. You’re in the great city of Chicago. Do your research and find yourself a great dermatologist. She will guide you on what you can and should do. Research products she recommends before dropping a fortune and follow instructions, even if they are prescription. Or better yet, ask for samples from her office to try things out, given your recent traumatic history. I know of what I speak, dude, really! Thanks for talking again about what we don’t talk about enough. You’re welcome. (Ain’t I arrogant? 🤗)
She has a dermatologist. Mentioned in the video.
the biggest, weird thing that helped my girls was super cleaning their phones. It amazing how many things we touch can cause issues.
this is a great tip!
That is great advice we should all be doing this!
I had an echo on my last phone so always used it on speaker and it became a habit. It's also easier than holding the phone to your ear.
Vit A (Retinol/Retinal/Retinoic Acid) is the key!
Hang in there, woman1 Time will help!
Prayers it goes away. I never notice d it.
❤️❤️
After my pre-menopause breakouts I started using dial antibacterial soap on my face and that helped.
My daughter uses bio oil and it has helped her a lot.
Look into B5❤
Power on
I honestly never noticed
for my hyperpigmentation. i was prescribed tretinoin
Hey Emily, go to the pharmacy and ask for Resinol. A prescription isn't required but you do have to get it from them. Abt $6. Use it on a cut, pimple, rash, etc. It's a miracle cream.
Dr. Boz did a CO2 laser procedure recently. She goes into depth about.
This second channel is fabulous....Thanks Ladies 😍. Maybe discuss birth control/ possible children - or not. Introduce your parents, pets spouses
Keep your pillow cases clean or even put a wash clothe under where you are resting your cheek. Lastly take your phone take cover off every night and wipe off with disenfective towel. clean phone less germs on cheek.
Y’all are beautiful ❤❤❤
thank you
Hi guys love your channel. You may have mentioned it but I'm not sure so p!ease forgive me but did you consider going to a dermatologist?
Try pro active
You're both beautiful!
Are doing any thrifting anymore? I loved that subject.
You both are so cute 🥰 You make me smile 😃
thank you pamela!
Have you considered that it might be hormonal (i.e., the cause of your initial breakout and the weight gain)? Like perimenopause happening?
It’s not. It’s healed now, I have no active acne anymore. It’s just dark spots.
Hello
how do you girls feel about monjourno and other like products to lose weight? would you consider trying them and , journal your experiences?
we just did a video about this on our channel!
I can honestly tell you I never noticed❤🙏❤
❤️❤️❤️ you are always too sweet
Castor oil!
Perimenopause can cause break outs. I had it for the first time then. Never broke out during teens or adulthood. Possibility? Gone after menopause.
I don't really have any advice, except go to a dermatologist, which u probably already have. And follow their advice. Love u both.
emily did go but it always already healing at that point unfortunately
Castor Oil really helped the dark spots on my hands. Research it.
Great topic. Congratulations on being helpful to others! So much anxiety over appearance. I guess it’s not all women but I think women suffer more over any imperfections. It’s like we’re supposed to be a piece of artwork for the world. Sorry. Can you tell I have a pet peeve? Thanks for this video.
Hi my friends, very pure castor oil 👍 Thanks and Greetings 👋
Something to try when you feel a pimple coming on if you will take a mixture of raw honey and cinnamon and cover it with a bandaid overnight. The pimple will not finish forming. At least this is what works for me.
Same👍 I have a small jar with honey just for my face! As a spot treatment. It works
Regular honey, or Manuka honey?
I love me a natural fix! God gave us everything we need. 🙏
I would love for you to discuss how to avoid constipation on Keto! 😮😊Sometimes I feel I’m not getting enough fiber? Has this been a problem for you two and if so, how did you solve it? Thank you!
@mamaninacooks eat more animal fat
we havent had that problem! :( we will try to look into it
Try coconut oil in a good quantity and also use psyllium husk, it helps
Drink more water than you think you need or want. Helped me immensely
Benefiber is a flavorless soluble fiber that dissolves totally in water and other drinks. Psyllium husk is the fiber in another common fiber powder, Metamucil iirc. If you can't have those, Miralax is different, works like magnesium citrate by pulling water into the bowel with osmosis. It's safe long-term and used in a drink daily, no taste and dissolves completely also unless you get it flavored. There are generic brands too.
I have no idea if it helps, but I'm a white guy and hydrogen peroxide on a zit has worked very well for me. Just take a Q-tip and soak it in it and rub it on the zit. twice a day and before you know it it's gone.
Oh, my goodnes...tiktok? I think I would have gone to a dermatologist.
Coulda woulda shoulda lol
👍
You guys have natural beauty. Be careful of products. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
Less is more. You ladies do not look like 40yrs old, so you are doing something right.
aw thank you for the kind words Dolores!
💗💗💗
Love you gorgeous ladies! Try a good quality castor oil at night!
Sorry for your loss of your father. It is stressful to lose someone you love. You might try going to dermatologist and allowing the doc to decide what would be best instead of guessing.
I’m white and red light therapy made my pigmentation worse too ☹️
😢😢😢
You are going to hate this, but around 40, I was prescribed tetracycline for my face...I took for a few months, and that cleared up my face...for years...
Good luck girl.
❤ I'm 70 and we took tetracycline quite a bit for different things...I think it was for colds...but they said that we couldn't take it anymore because if you were pregnant the babies teeth could be light gray...but we were prescribed it alot❤Lord Jesus come quickly ❤
@@lovesJesus448 😮😮 It can turn a baby's teeth light gray?? Lord only knows what all these medications are really doing to us.
You both are beautiful women just as you are.
