From Carb Addict to Keto Q&A 

You’ve always been super pretty, but your confidence is really shining! ❤ I’m very proud of you.

Sam I have watched your channel for years, and I don’t know if you can connect the dots but the changes you have made in getting rid of sugar are showing up on your spending( not spending) and your planner contentment, and all the areas… sugar is an evil vice! I’m so proud of you! You are beautiful! I’m on the same path in so many ways! I discovered the same with shoes! I’ve changed my planner and journal and spending and eating habits! It feels good to do the hard things and do it well with Jesus! ❤

Hi Sam! I watched a video of yours a few years ago that is now private… at the time I had commented on it and was going to come back to it. I had some things to add. I remember you were struggling with accepting/processing a particular thing…. I’m not going to post here what it was about in case you are keeping it private now. But I would still love to talk to you about it. Love love love you see that you are doing keto. I’m down 25lbs using Keto and IM since January. But…. my primary goal is the increased mental clarity and focus. In addition the HUGE benefits from autophagy on both physical and mental health. I’m cleaning up my brain!! Can you tell I am excited about it? lol. So happy to see you doing Keto. I’ll have to check and see if you have updates.

Amazing job! You are inspiring me Sam!!

What an incredible story! So glad I stumbled across your channel. I also have six kids with my youngest being four, and my oldest being 16 and on a weight loss journey. Thank you for all the tips!!

You look fantastic Sam! If you feel as good as you look this is a success story for sure! Give yourself a big hug! I am a believer is a low carb lifestyle. Your body feels better very quickly.

You look amazing! I’m so happy for you! A little more than 20 years ago I did low carb and was amazed because I wasn’t hungry and I had lots of energy! It became a lifestyle vs a diet.

You look great! Thank you for sharing your progress and the info on your food intake and fasting.😊

🤗👍💯 FANTASTIC VIDEO SAM ! Thanks soooo much for the detail, the transparency, tips & tricks and HEART. Congratulations ! 🎉 Keep up the GREAT, inspiring work !! I LOVE IT !!! ❤

Loved this video so much! I didn’t know carrots weren’t keto friendly 😂 I’m inspired!!

Enjoyed ur thoughts on all of these! A very informative video on ur experience making what Id consider a major lifestyle change ❤

You should be proud Sam! I think you look wonderful - but more importantly, I’m so happy that you FEEL so much better! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing. I have been on on the 8/16 fast for 5 months ( every other week I break at different times to keep it fresh).and lost 13 lbs with about 16 to go to my pre COVID weight. . I have noticed that I am not craving sugar. Most sugar stuff doesn't sound good to me.

This is amazing!! You are looking so good!!! I agree with your husband on the vitamin D! We are all deficient and it’s really good for your bones!!! Mine was in the toilet and I can really tell a difference since I started a supplement!!

I started Keto on January 1st. I have not cheated AT ALL.... Nothing. I am down about 25 lbs. Started at 251.6 and as of today i am 226.2

Congratulations Sam! You have done excellent! I started at 230, and I am now 159, but still trying to lose. I am also size 14 now and a large in shirt, however, I have no doubt we have completely different body types, because I am only 5" 2' on a good day. haha All of your keto tips and rules you adhere to sound exactly right to what I have also learned about keto. I love your updates. Thank you!

I’m so glad you did this video!!! Do you ever eat low carb bread? Just curious…. I am in the research phase!!

Wow, you are doing great.

My biggest tip to start is pick one meal of the day (breakfast lunch or dinner) pick out one or two recipes and only make those for that specific meal of the day. Once you’ve mastered those recipes on repeat and those ratios for that meal, then you can look into the next meal say lunch and find a recipe or two but nothing more cause you’ll get overwhelmed by too many recipes/changes - personally, I started with dinners and because it was adding fats. I ended up naturally starting fast without realizing it in the mornings so now I eat my dinner 6-8pm (varies) , and now I fast until 1 PM which is when my lunch is. Also to add when you first start changing one meal type a day eat the same as you would for the other meals so non-keto but pay attention to what you’re eating and you’ll naturally start to cut back a little bit here and there the ratios without having to make new recipes Until it’s time to overhaul that meal type.

I did Keto and dropped 40 pounds, but didn't watch the cholesterol and ended up having a stroke after 2 years.

This is great! Congrats on your progress. Ive been keto off and on over the last 6 years. Trying to get back on track. Electrolytes are so important! So helpful with workouts too. I havent tried Dr. Bergs brand yet, but the Redmond Relyte is fantastic! Its made in Utah and sourced from the local salt mines. #teamhealthjourney 💙

When you first got started and now, what are your sources to get info, recipes, what to eat and what not to?

I’m curious about breaking your fast. I follow someone that emphasizes any flavor will break a fast(electrolytes, nut pods and sf syrup). What are your thoughts on this subject?

I just have 1 question. How do I get my husband to make my food? Lol
