- Sarah and I embarked on a 72 hour fast this week to try to lose weight. While we both typically do keto we feel like changing things up during your journey can help jumpstart weight loss! The results were not what we expected.....could the higher dose sauna blanket be the reason?
We are Emily and Sarah, identical twin sisters from Chicago who have lost 160 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!

That happened to me too: I fasted 72 hours, and NO loss. I ate again that day, and the following day I was down like 3lbs. The body is truly perplexing sometimes.
The proof is in how you feel and how the clothes feel . The human body can fluctuate 4-6lbs per day. Don't get hung up on weight.
I enjoyed this video. I recently did a prolonged fast, 64 hrs. I lost 5 lbs. I felt great doing it. I could think clearer too. I tried for 72 hrs but I made the mistake of not increasing my sodium in my electrolytes and I ended up getting terrible leg cramps. I’ll be starting another fast for the full 72 hrs and will add sea salt to my electrolytes this time. I’m excited to start.
So far in 13 mos. I’m down 77 lbs and from side 22 to size 12.
You girls help keep me motivated with how relatable you are. Hugs, we’re proud of both of you.
I’m glad you guys are so honest about it, sometimes results are not great for everyone but I love that you guys are still following the plan and keep looking ahead. Great video!
cascada122321 gotta keep on ketoing on! Eventually the weight loss will start again.... I think...I hope 😂-Emily
The council that goes along with your videos is so valuable.
I get tired of getting on the scale and seeing a slight gain or no movement so I understand...as I know many people can relate to. Keep it up and know that we are cheering you on!
Sarah, I totally relate to u! I have been in a stall for about 3 months and have been so frustrated. I feel like no matter what I do, I won't lose weight. U definitely have to stay positive and keep on pressing on! Stay positive girly!!!
Thank you! 3 months is a long time, hopefully you break through it soon ❤️❤️-Sarah
You may want to try a cheat day. Sometimes your body can benefit from replenishing leptin hormone levels.
@@jmahlon thank u!! I appreciate that
I’ve never tried a 72 hour fast. Kudos to you. You both have done an amazing job period. You are such beautiful ladies. I’m enjoying going along on your journey with you..💕
Thank you so much for the support Kelli! We appreciate it so much ❤️❤️ -Sarah
I am in my 80 hours fast of a 7 days and I am still going strong 💪
Wow! How did it go? When I did my "72-hour" fast I was actually aiming for 7 days. I wanted the anti-cancer benefits that the 7 days is supposed to provide. I did fine on days 1, 2, and 3, but when I hit 86 hours hours, I started to feel faint and weak. I gave it some time to see if it would pass, but t didn't. So I broke my fast with some chicken broth at 89 hours and then had small meal a couple of hours after that. I'd love to hear of your experience with the longer fast. :D
I got to my 96 and I just broked due to me working when I was fasting also but I was fine otherwise it was also my trying to break plateau but I wanted to do a 7 days too and I did tried again but I only made it to 64 hours. And I haven’t done it again yet….good luck with your trying.
@@evelyncruz5407 Thanks so much for telling me how it went. I decided that I need to work up to 7 days. Jumping from 2 days to 7 was just too much at one go. I'll do another couple of 72-hour fasts and then try a 96-hour fast. If 96 hours goes okay, I'll try several more and then attempt 110 hours. And so on.
@@j.m.ney-grimm3029 let me know when you do try again and I will try to do it so we can get accountability and support….it is a little difficult now due to my work schedule…..
@@evelyncruz5407 Great idea! I'm currently fitting in 48-hour fasts here and there, just because they are relatively easy and I feel confident in accomplishing them. I figure that 48-hour fasts accomplished are better than 72-hour fasts merely dreamed of. But I'll post here the next time I aim for 72 hours. If you do the same, then I'll see if I can join you. :D
Fasting gets best results after 4 days, during that time take a multi, electrolyte with sodium, and exercise (walking or yoga). This burns out the residual glucose which allows Ketones to be burnt from there. Hunger pangs pass after 2-3 days, low intensity exercise (walking, yoga) helps with overcoming the hunger pangs and kicks in the ketone burning. TM simple meditation helps as well. You both look gorgeous and healthy.
I’m 15 pounds from my goal weight and the weight is dropping anymore. I have done egg fasting and water fasting for 24 hours but haven’t been able to do more. I’m so impressed that you lasted for 72 hours. Both of you are amazing. 😊
You guys should switch who uses the sauna blanket to prove its effectiveness. Great video!
What a great Job-you have done💪🏼💪🏼🙏Thank you for sharing
The Chicago accent is real with you two! Every time you say “fast” I hear it. ❤️
🙈🙈🙈 of course we don’t hear our accent but everyone else does, haha-
Lovely testimonials!
Way to go ladies.... i appreciate your time to bring us these results of your challenges.
That sauna blanket llooks interesting.
Thank you!!
Although you didn't lose as much weight and may be 10 pounds heavier, you look amazing! 👌🏾 ❤ Great job, ladies!
The eye roll at “Lets do our measurements “ lol. I would imagine having a twin sister would be a powerful combination of support/competition.
I love my sauna blanket. Bought it when you first mentioned it. I do a lot of yard work and it is my total body heating pad. Less muscle stiffness. You are my baby girls. BIG SMILE
Yay! So glad you love the sauna blanket as much as we do Sharon! It’s so relaxing- Sarah
Im currently doing 16:8 . Hungry at times but pushing thru! 🙋♀️👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🌸💕
A Small Bitchy Banana you can do it!!! ❤️-Em
I'm on a 72-hour fast right now. I usually get hungry two days into a fast which is weird but it wasn't bad this time I'm not registering hunger pangs which is also weird. this one has been so easy, tomorrow is 72 hours for me, so I'm thinking about adding another day giving me 96 hours. Like you said it's just one more day
Great job to both of you.
The longest I ever fasted was 60 hours. Way to go! Glad to hear you did not get keto rash. Congrats on the loss!
60 hours is great! I’m a big believer in listening to your body. If I am feeling like I have to break the fast I would totally do it :) -Em
Totally unrelated but I'm always in awe of their hair! Like a Pantene commercial lol
Thank you!
I'm strongly considering the sauna blanket and looking forward to a detailed video on it. I have painful joints in addition to wanting to lose more weight.
Sandra Martin thanks for letting us know sandra! We hope to get to filming that video ASAP!! ❤️❤️
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈!
I need to kick it in gear.. At a stand still. Hydration is a must for me. I will order LMNT today for sure. One day at a time and please don't get discouraged. Sending HUGS, PRAYERS, LOVE, A SMILE and KINDNESS! 🌷 🌷 🌷
Thanks for your sweet and encouraging comments Kaye! They mean a lot to us! -Em
I, too, have this delay when doing an extended fast. I've only done one 72-hour fast, so I can't really speak to that. But I've done nine 48-hour fasts across the last 6 months, and the weight loss always takes 3 to 5 days to show up. I'd love to know why, but I do know now to expect it.
Wow, that’s awesome! Congrats on all the hard work.🎉🎉🎉
I wonder why people get so many different results. I have done it two times, the first one I lost 12 pounds and I was around 200 to start. This second time around I was at 215 and on day two I am 9 pounds down.
I don’t know about sauna blankets. But I sure do love my infrared sauna. It has relieved asthma issues as well as giving me new energy. 36 pounds in 3 months. And my diabetic HbA1c is nearly normal at 5.9. Along with the keto (ketovore) diet changes.
I did a 12 day fast two years ago and it was so strange having so much time back that I didn’t have to spend cooking and cleaning the kitchen. I did a little bone broth and did just fine. I work from home and it was easier for me because I felt like I could always just eat if I needed to. Not sure I would do 12 days again but definitely 24-36
You two did great❤️
Sandri Huff hey sandri!! ❤️
I was 190-194 for three months, up and down. I realize that at 53 I have a lot being healed on the inside that I cannot see. This poor body's been through a thing... Counting total carbs very recently is the only way I've made it to 187 finally. That being said, I appreciate Em, because the reminder of not being ANYWHERE near 200 anymore IS HOT!!! That's what's hot in the STREETS today ladies. It takes time to sculpt a masterpiece. 😉 'Slo but sho' is PERMANENT!! Hold on lil darlings...We're doing this!!!💃💃 💃
Sing it! I know what you are talking about for sure, I ate so terribly for like 30 years, we can’t expect that we are just going to have a perfect weight loss journey. I do feel like keto is healing our bodies from the damage we have done! It’s allll goood!!❤️❤️❤️-Em
you know I am the same age and approx 5 years ago I stopped shopping at conventional grocery stores and began shopping at Sprouts and Whole Foods which weeded out a lot of unhealthy foods and ingredients (although they sell junk foods too and dirty healthy haha). We have eaten organic since then and now it I have moved on to keto, so I agree with you that it is about the healing and positive changes we make for our bodies and longevity. In Berkeley where I live there are many baby boomers in their 80s who eat well and are active, slim and can move great. I see them out biking, hiking, swimming and they are not limping or using mobility devices. It is great that you have taken the initiative to be healthier.
You guys are so funny 😂 and real!
Try not to compare yourself to your sister and remind yourself you are comparing yourself to your old former self.. from where you’ve been to where you are.
Be proud of that.
And as I mentioned in another comment, I won’t be surprised if you start losing weight the next three days after a fast. That’s what happens to me, I always gain and then I lose.
I want to aim for a 30 day fast but if I only do 15/20 days at least it can kickstart me into my planned re-entrance into Keto (I’ve done 7 days fast before and I strayed from Keto, lost my way into bad habits I should have never allowed myself to try, that weren’t even satisfying).
I miss how I felt with Keto and I loved the food, and there is so much more great recipes out there now than when I initially started. There’s no excuse and I’m truly excited to have sport stations like y’all, guiding us with your honesty.
Only thing with Keto, since I don’t have a gallbladder I take betaine hcl tablets, digestive enzymes and ox bile. I don’t know if you’ve covered supplements like them on your channel?
In the sauna at the gym, I wear a neoprene suit and chin mask, very interesting looking to say the least. Ha!
I’m interested in looking into the sauna blanket, thanks for sharing info.
I love your videos and the comparison ones too. It helps to show that even when it comes to identical twins, bodies can react differently. The measurement video is a great idea but also you may have lost inches with this 72 hour fast and your sister lost the pounds so it would’ve been interesting to do measurements before hand. Don’t get discouraged I’m a very slow loser as well and I know how frustrating it can be.
Robin Elders I think a lot of people think that losing weight is like a perfect calculation, the truth is that you could eat nothing for 3 days and not lose anything! I hope the measurements video will cheer Sarah up, ❤️-Emily
Keto Twins you’re so right it is definitely not a perfect calculation. And it’s amazing that you could not eat for three days and not lose any weight, just crazy! But maybe she did lose some inches and maybe check some tighter clothing and see if they feel a little bit better. You girls keep rockin it!! 🤗
Robin Elders ❤️❤️❤️ thanks Robin!!
Do you guys take before and after pics for challenges? The scale isn't the whole story. I remember seeing a series of photos someone posted where she weighed the same in every photo, but her body looked totally different.
Charming--thank you!
🤗🤗
I looked into the sauna blanket... very interesting. It has magnets. & the magnet therapies are very very effective for pain & illness related to virus, bacteria, fungus, etc. Very cool.
Wow!! Amazing! It seems almost impossible to do when there are also children at home ...
I cant imagine doing a 72 hour fast 😲 wtg ladies!
It’s not that bad Mary! Give a 48 one a shot first! :) -Emily
Hi there. I've noticed since doing keto that I don't seem to gain weight when I eat after a water fast. The water fast is an accelerated weight loss period, and then the pounds continue to drop at a slightly slower pace when I start eating. Have either of you experienced that, or do you find that you gain weight after a water fast?
I did a 72 hr fast and gained, same when I did egg fast. I have 20 lbs to lose. Ironically ny first weight issue was when my Dad died and I became a caregiver to my 90 yo Grandpa, and I was severely underweight! So tired of weight issues.
Weird, I have that delayed loss thing happen now and then too. If I go very low calorie one day cuz I get busy and my window closes etc., the next day or even 2 eating my one or 2 meals in my window and boom, then the weight loss shows up.
Go twins 👯♀️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. Sara, I am like you. Keep stepping awesome work
I eased into a 72 hr fast after eating once a day for a few months. I wasn’t hungry and had lots of energy, slept well. I had trouble starting eating again. I just wasn’t hungry. I had to force myself to eat a very small amt for the first day. Btw I’m 75
Thank you for sharing this!! You two are so cute!! ❤❤❤nad beautiful!!
could it be the sweetener in the electrolytes slowing results ?
Hello - are y’all still using the sauna blanket? And do you still recommend buying one? Thanks!
Yes, we both still love the blanket and use it often!
+all rises. +add gardening, walking to your journey,
What about other things like Energy levels, how your skin has improved or not, also what happened to your hair etc
I eat carbs, fruits and vegetables. I fast 72 - 96 hours and feel great from the first moment I fast. Not an issue.
I love love loveeeeeeee fasting!!!!!!!!! Especially 72 hour fast!
did u take blood glucose and blood ketones ?
I feel like you twins! i fast all the time and I gained weight on my 72 hour fast!
Isn’t it weird how the body works sometimes? It’s so frustrating!
@@ketotwins im pretty shore the electrolytes hydrated you and that holds water but probably lost 2 lbs of fat in those 3 days
At amost 3yrs after this post here are you both still regularly using this sauna blanket? Did your dad purchase one as well, as he is older, in his 80’s? Does your mom use it? Would love a video update. We are considering purchasing one for my husband and myself as we are in our 60s.
We use them all the time, my father never bought one, but it’s a staple in Sarah and my homes
Using the blanket are you covered in sweat and does the blanket smell bad after a while? Can it be washed?
You need to wipe it clean we use seven generation wipes to clean it after use
Congratulations on your accomplishments!
Thank you!!
I just started the keto life style about 3 weeks ago and I haven't lost any weight. However, I have lost an inch off my waist. Go figure.
An inch is awesome! I’m sure the scale will follow! -Em
I am with you on the 3 lbs!! Every since I went on vacation and went off plan I have been fluctuating 3 lbs. Up and down! Before vacation I was steady at the same weight for a yr!! I have Got to get it off and Keep it off!!!
I often feel there is a w lag…both ways. If I have a wild weekend eating with abandone it shows up 3 days later. I may show similar results.
Does anyone deal with diarrhea doing prolonged fasts?😢
I do OMAD that works for me, I don’t like to go over that as it makes me feel deprived so I don’t go there lol self love 😁
Omad makes life so simple! Love it!-Em
I eat carbs after my fasting and feel fine when I’m fasting. Maybe not everyone will, but for me…it’s not a problem
When I do a 72 hour fast I lost 9lbs.
wanted to buy the Higerdose but the code didnt work?
Oh no! I have contacted them hopefully they can give us a new code asap!
I feel like I would pass out. But if you add chicken broth, I might be able to do it👍👍
I really think keeping up your electrolytes is key to not feeling like you might pass out! -Emily
That just means the foods you eat are being used sufficiently. Its okay! Your body doesn't need to lose anymore right now.
I did a five day fast and gained half a pound. I learned that women can experience what is called an “estrogen - cortisol loop” which can cause this.
I have been doing 16:8, 18:6 and 20:4 fasting since 3 mths of keto (10mths now) I always said no way can i do a 24 hr fast or longer welp I've done 3 24 hour fasts and they do get easier but I dunno I wanna do more then 24 hours. Sarah I feel for you seems like your not getting results your hoping for just keep trusting the process and don't get discouraged. Emily congrats on your progress. I've been stuck at 189 for almost a month I'm really thinking about cutting out dairy and sweeteners I hear those can slow us down. I've done two 5 day egg fasts and had good success with them but the thought of doing another just grosses me out LOL. I started out at 246lbs and I'm 189 my goal weight always been 185 but now thinking about moving it to 175 altho its been really hard to get to 185 its frusterating and I've been changing up my fasting schedule to throw my body for a loop gonna try eliminating dairy and sweeteners for the next week my 10mth weigh in day is July 23. I do agree taking measurements super helpful I find if scale isn't moving the inches still are. Sorry this was really long lol and for the record I think you both look amazing at your current weight!
nitrowife I love your comments 😍🥰- we started at such a similar weight too! I think that eliminating dairy and sweeteners will definitely work, I’ve done it in the past to get things moving again! It’s so sad though because I love cheese 😢-let us know if it works for you! I’d love to know what you weigh in at! -Em
@@ketotwins glad you love my comments. I relate to you both so much and just love watching and hearing your alls experience. I will definitely let ya know!
nitrowife you’ve got this!!! 😍
@@ketotwins just to update you last week and this week I cut out all dairy, sweeteners and aldi zero carb bread. I did more 20:4 fasts and I went from 189 to 186. Today is my 10mths keto and I'm at 60 lbs lost total. (185 has been my goal) Super stoked over here!
@@jessicacecil9457 thats awesome ! I am jealous (Sarah here...) I might have to do this well. Cutting out dairy is going to be hard for me but it would be worth it to see some progress! Thanks for the update!
Hello, did you ever stop doing Keto eat carbs for a month? And do ADF, as you ate carbs? Did you gain weight? You guys inspire me a lot
Hi Emilie! We have gone off keto several times in the past, and we start gaining weight almost immediately because we are addicted to carbs and can’t control ourselves 😢 We have done ADF only with Keto because it controls our cravings! Thanks so much for watching and your comments :) -Em
Haha! Me too. But I want to try ADF with whole grain carbs, like boiled sweet potatoes, potatoes and whole grain bread but no sugar at all. Maybe stevia. And see how it goes. When you guys go off keto, do you start eating pizza, cakes and all the good “junky” carbs?
Oh yeah, we eat everything bad in sight 😐. I really do miss sweet potatoes though and I think if you are going to eat carbs that’s the best one to eat! Soooo yummy!
Y’all’s skin tho 😍😍😍😍
The weight will drop off. Just be patient.
New to this channel...how tall are these ladies?
We are 5’10 🤗 welcome
@@ketotwins A reply from the twins!! What a delight!! Thank you :)
I believe the chicken broth maybe reason
Could have been! next time I won’t use it -Sarah
It's odd how weight comes off. I did a 36 hour later and lost 7 lbs and then did 48 hr fast and lost like maybe 4 lbs. ... Plus your body don't drop fast right away you have fat flush that take place periodically.
is it safe to do 72 hours fast every day because I wanna do it?
help
Everyday would be too much! Try it once and see how you feel! -Em
I think when you're fasting your little fat cells are panicking and holding on to water. Then when you eat, they breathe a sigh of relief and release the weight. 😊
How tall are you two ?
5’10 & 5’11!
After the keto rash, I'm afraid to do any fast because that's when my rash comes back.
Yea I thought it might happen but I’m glad it didn’t! -Emily
That could be your body getting rid of toxins through the skin...
Thank you for the coupon...blanket is on its way...
Can’t wait to hear about your results Pammie! ❤️-Emily
Sarah, I'd be PO'd if I gained weight after not eating for 3 whole days! I couldn't do that, even though I live a low-carb lifestyle. I looked up the sauna blanket and it's just too expensive for me. I'd rather sweat out my calories working in the garden instead of laying on the floor wrapped in a sauna blanket. No offense Emily! I like watching your channel cuz I l have an identical twin too!
Lol no offense taken Melida! We love gardening too, saunas are definitely not everyone’s cup of tea! -Em
@@ketotwins you guys are so cute it’s sickening! 🤮 My twin and I get along okay but come on.
I lost 18 pounds on mine but I weigh a lot.. the note u weight the more u will lose
The bone broth is throwing you off.... Try a water fast.
LOL.
What are you LoLOlololIng about nickoli
Take up a craft…you will love it and food is hardly on your mind!!!
Can’t wait for gardening season! -Em
Y’all sound like Kim
N Kourtney lol. Wow
😆😆😆
You girls have a Chicago accent, no?
We are from Chicago, so....yes? I guess we dont really hear our own accents, lol!-Em
@@ketotwins I’m from the South Side so I know it when I hear it lol
This just further demonstrates that not everyone’s body works the same way and that CICO is BS because your body can make all kinds of adjustments to maintain a given body composition if it wants to. It’s about your body’s willingness to use fat which is based on hormones, genetics, epigenetics, particular physiology, etc, etc.
Are you weighing yourself on the same scale????? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever!!!
We both weigh ourselves when we wake up first thing at home 🤷🏻♀️ it really doesn’t make sense but I guess weight loss isn’t a perfect formula, even when you eat literally nothing for 3 days lol! -Em
I’m currently doing a water fast it’s been 3 days as well and I’ve dropped 2 lbs that’s it! 😂😂 ugh I was 198 and now 186 doing strict keto. I can’t wait to eat! Lol I’ve done 10 day water fasts before and dropped a pound a day but totally not worth it to do it again. My husband and kids always eating in front of me and it’s hard!! I have a personal sauna that I bought on Amazon a while back and it makes a big difference in how I feel and makes me sweat like crazy! One tip I have for you is rub coconut oil on your body before getting into it and you sweat A LOT more than you usually would.
By the way I’m only 5’1 😭😭😭 I wish I had your height ladies!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ have a great weekend Emily and Sarah!
Journey Oflife I’m excited for you for your first meal after the fast 😂 they are the best! Yeah there are many downsides to being tall but the one plus is that we hide our weight better 😂❤️-Em
