Keto Meals Can Be Simple. 5 Days of meals from the homestead. 

After 6.5 months on keto, I have lost 60 lbs. Still a lot to go, but I find I can make anything keto if I want to. I also have no cravings which helps to stay on track. ❤

You both look and feel so good so I for one love these kind of videos from you. I see some comments express the opposite and seem downright nasty. Please don't let them get to you. I think I'm not alone when I say we watch you not just for learning homesteading skills but for ALL you want to share with us. You are both great teachers. That's why you have so many followers!

You both are so fortunate that BOTH of you are on board with this lifestyle. It’s totally discouraging when you want to purge the temptation from before your eyes but your husband is NOT with you in this.🙄

Ive been keto for awhile now and lost 25lbs. Now I'm more of a ketovore 😊 hopefully more people will get on board with eating this way and get rid of the doctors and percriptions, because prescription are alot of our health problems due to the side effects.

May I publicly like Sarah‘s t-shirt today . I think hers, is a good sign 🪧. :)

Glad to hear your success story! I have been following an OMAD Mediterranean leaning lifestyle consisting mainly of low carb / high fiber / multicolored vegetables of all types, moderate protein, and high fat (mainly EVOO, AVOCADO, and a L. Rueteri semi-crumbly cream cheese that I ferment using organic half and half). I ferment many of the non-leafy veggies (carrots, beets, green / red cabbage, fennel, onions, sunchokes, tomatoes, dicon radish, jicama , and whatever else I find that interests me). I consume a large amount of vinegar (I ferment a few pure juices - apple, pomegranate, grape - just about anything that doesn’t have additives/preservatives). I also usually have a few dozen pickled eggs, jars of various meats that I pressure can, cans of anchovies, sardines, and herring that I keep on hand when my wife and I don’t want to cook a protein. I also do a 3 day fast every 6 to 8 weeks. I’ve gone 4 days on 2 occasions only to see how I would feel. I understand the why as to the lack of hunger, but I still find it mystifying. I have been following this lifestyle for nearly 2 years and have shocked my doctors. I’ve lost 90 pounds and have gotten off my diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure meds. I have astonished myself because I haven’t felt this young in decades. I undertook this radical change as a result of requiring a major surgery to remove a 5th of my liver due to cancer. I wanted to try to stack the deck in my favor and avoid going through that again. Unfortunately, about 18 months ago, an MRI showed the tumor had returned and I had a repeat procedure a few months later. Here’s where the story takes an unexpected twist. I had the surgery and the pathology report indicated that no cancer was detected. Now, I’m not saying my lifestyle change had anything to do with that, but I know I caught the attention of my GP, Oncologist, and surgeon. I no longer have the customary 10 minute follow up visits. I have actually been paraded in front of their colleagues to discuss what I am doing. 😊😊😊. Those 2 surgeries aside, I will never go back to my old ways and I intend to strive to avoid a three-peat. Oh, by the way, I’ve also captured the attention of friends and family (my wife included). They all thought I was crazy, but now our gatherings, more likely than not, drift towards education sessions where they pick my brain trying to understand how I maintain such discipline. They refuse to believe how easy it is once you kick the addiction to carbs. My GP didn’t think I would be successful, but at my last visit he commented that if I manage to maintain this endeavor that I should write a book. I chuckled at him and said that there were already hundreds of books out there - we just have to get people to read them! 😊😊😊

I've been doing keto for 6 years. I feel great and have greatly improved my health. I'm wondering if you could share how your garden has changed with your new eating habits? Also, what are you favorite things to can now that you are keto? Thanks for sharing your story!

Sarah, I love your hair in it's natural colour - just beautiful xx

How about some bacon or sausage and eggs? Eggs are the best keto meal. omlets, scrambled with peppers, onions, etc. love you guys

Your keto journey is truly inspiring! Your commitment to simplicity and homestead-sourced meals is commendable. It's motivating to see a realistic approach to keto. I've personally found that embracing a realistic approach to keto, similar to yours, has been instrumental in my weight loss journey, helping me shed 50 pounds. Thanks for sharing your week with us! edit: For those interested in exploring a custom-tailored keto plan, feel free to find more details on my profile

I am 68 and have done interment fasting and Keto for a couple of years now and have lost weight (89 lbs.), gained energy, lost cravings, and cut my grocery bill (which surprised me). I try not to get too fanatical about it and allow a little homemade keto chocolate and bread or crackers as needed.

I don’t comment often, but I didn’t want the opportunity to pass without saying how helpful I’m finding these videos. My husband and I are both looking to make the change to keto in January. We are using December as a practice month, meaning we are learning what we can about keto and introducing ourselves to exploring how to cook keto at home. We loved your Kizza❤😋

Excellent! We went vegetarian a couple of years ago for 6 months, then followed that up with 2 months keto ... then I totally fell off into junk. This past year we successfully did keto for 4 months until the holidays, and I fell off. We do feel MUCH better, healthier, physically, emotionally and mentally on Keto. We are now striking a balanced lifestyle between "regular", vegetarian and keto.

You are my #1 site to watch

Please, do a keto cookbook, like your rabbit cookbook. Great video!

Love it! So true - I broke out and ate sweets over the Thanksgiving weekend, gained 10 pounds! And felt terrible. It was hard to get back to keto and intermittent fasting but I have already lost the 10 lbs and starting to feel better again. I’m not sure I want to cheat again at Christmas.

Also try “Sparkling Ice zero sugar” with two tablespoons heavy cream over crushed ice. It’s so good.

Please show us your yogurt and cheese making. Well done! 💐💙🙏🇺🇲

Love these keto meals. Thank you for taking time to make these videos. We’ve been following the keto diet for just a short while, and right away we noticed the increase in energy and not being hungry. Protein is great, fats are good, and carbs are tricky little things.

What I love most is the simplicity of the crockpot meals. I have a small homestead/ hobby farm and between taking care of the gardens and the animals, as well as the time processing all my harvest, I'm looking for easy meals. I wrote down a few of your tips and I'm going to incorporate more crock pot/ instant pot meals. Thanks so much.🥰

I did 12 months of carnivore with intermittent fasting (no breakfast) and lost 60 lbs. Once a month 48 hour fasting was super helpful. I’ve maintained my weight with ketovore for the past 12 months but I am considering carnivore again to get off the last 20 lbs. I still feel so much healthier and happier when I’m eating better (no sugar, seed oils or grains).

I've been keto for 6 months. I do have breakfast, mainly eggs and stir fried green vegetables, a bigger lunch, but my dinners are often very small. I've lost 50lbs and have no desire to go off diet.

Thanks again guys. I was very motivated when I first started going KETO/OMAD almost 8 years ago. Started OMAD 22/2 from the very beginning (not easy) and that has been my habit, 5 days a week ever since. Not looking back. Success and health to everyone!

Spiking and crashing is the key thing to get rid of. You are excellent role models. I’m not overweight, but I crave ANYTHING at ALL times. Thankfully I’m mostly able to resist, but it would be great to not have the minor struggle. It’s the carbs.

I've been 18 months on a mainly carnivore diet eating only one meal a day. I feel better than I have for twenty years. Weight loss was never my goal but the health bnefits are the real reason to consider this life style.

Thank YOU for ALL of your DELICIOUS Keto Ideas…! 🎉❤🎉. Shelly

I have to say, when you two decide to do something, you stick to it and the result is wonderful. I made your keto pizza and everyone loved it.

Best part of eating well is that there is no need for drugs to compensate for bad eating behavior.

GREAT. THANKS FOR SPREADING THE NEWS. MANY PEOPLE WILL BE HEALTHIER BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEO. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

So appreciate this information! Perfect for homesteaders who need to stay well ❤

I’m sure you never thought God would use your lives of growing healthy foods to change sooooo many lives w/a Keto food plan. So many people NEED healing & weight loss from consuming non-God made foods, worldly foods that falsely advertise & deceive people of its heathy value. So much physical healing happens during sleep and during fasting, which is very important for those who are in recovery from consuming man made & over processed foods. Those foods have high added salts, sugars & sweeteners - often even camouflaged in the labeling. It’s fantastic you shared some of ur Keto meals, healthy products and portion sizes. BRAVO you guys!! Praying God richly blesses you both ❤

I’ve been doing Keto since 7/21st due to high blood sugar. I’ve lost 18 lbs and went from diabetic numbers to pre diabetic. I do order Keto sweets once a week from a local small business.

You guys are awesome. I've been doing this since April. Lost 23 lbs. Stalled since September but I am so much healthier.

Keto for 4 months also IF. 70 yrs old lost 40 lbs and blood chemistry very good. Curious about what veggies you will be planting in the Spring after your food adjustment.

I LOVED this video, it has helped me so much with meal ideas and recipes; I am new to keto❤️🎄. Please keep sharing meal ideas and recipes!!!!

On your next Q & A video, how about explaining which crops you stopped growing when yo went Keto and what crops you started growing. Also, how does this affect your fruit trees>

We were on keto a few years ago before C-19. For whatever reason, we went back to poor eating and have put weight on. As of January 1, 2024, hubby and I are back on keto. When we were on it before, we lost 60 pounds each. The only thing I can’t use but my husband can is Stevia. I’m very allergic to Stevia, which is part of the ragweed family. I only use Monk fruit or erythritol. We are also doing the Three Rivers Pantry Challenge so I won’t be going to the grocery store for quite awhile. 😁👍🏻 Thank you for sharing ❤

After watching Brooke’s video about her new autoimmune symptoms, and recommending a keto way of eating to alleviate those symptoms, I decided two days ago to take my own advice. I’m following ya’lls advice about skipping breakfast, too. I’ve practiced Keto off and on for decades, and have really noticed its positive effects…getting rid of joint pain, and clearer thinking. THIS time, I’m hoping to take note of any mental health benefits. I hope that generally just feeling physically better will have a good mental health effect. It’s not easy getting older, and it can leave you down in the dumps.

Wow!!! I didn't realize I basically eat the same as you!!! I eat lunch and dinner every day!!! Only 40 carbs at dinner!!! I lost 20 lbs and feel Great!!! God Bless Us All!!!

THANK YOU sooooooo much for the new food videos!!!! Love them!

Loved this video and love the foods you eat. Thanks for taking the trouble to film this for us!

Another way to fix brussels sprouts is to cut them in half,(takes away the bitterness) and cook them in a cast iron pan in unrefined coconut oil till brown turning occasionally. Delicious! 😊

Love this video. Rutabaga is a great substitution for potatoes

I don’t have a homestead so everything came from the store. When I was on keto, I found I was not hungry in between meals, only ate 2 meals a day, and no snacks, so my grocery bill was really appreciably less. Also, I concentrated on increasing my water intake which also helped minimize hunger.

Im 66 & have been on keto/ketovore for 3 months. I only eat from 11 to 4.. (some days i only eat at 4) your right I'm never hungry the rest of the time.. I've lost weight & feel better..

I've been doing IF/Lowcarb/Keto for 5 months and lost 37 lbs, trying to be good as I can this month. Feeling good and blood sugar is going down !! Love your channel !!!

I started on ketovore heavy on the carnivore eating about 2 weeks ago. As of last night I have lost 16 pounds. Thank you for the videos on how you are eating and doing. God Bless.

Sorry it took so long to comment, but I have watched this 3 times. You both look fantastic. Keep up the good work, love these videos.

You look great.

You both look amazing. My husband and I have started Keto, too. The best sweetener we have found is Allulose. It tastes good, with no aftertaste. My husband is diabetic and it has little to no impact on his blood sugar as with the other sweeteners. I enjoy seeing what other people eat with this lifestyle. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. We're in northern part of Missouri.. God bless you, and have a Merry Christmas..

Good evening! Making me hungry watching all this food 😊

So glad to see that you guys have found a real food, ketogenic way of eating. My formerly type 2 diabetic husband has had an Hba1c in the normal range for 6+ years now. It's an easier way of eating than others would have you believe. Dr Westman is one of my favorite low carb doctors, he always keeps things simple.

We've been doing keto for a year now. We don't miss anything, after awhile sugar becomes too sweet to eat. We did the same thing at Thanksgiving, but went right back the next day. Also we have stopped buying foods that have sugar, or white flour. We both feel so much better and the Dr likes it too. Have a great day. Be safe, much love.

Awesome video. I’ve been watching you both for a couple of years now, as we were starting our farm life. (I learned to bake bread from Kevin) We kinda stopped watching when we started our keto lifestyle. We were pleasantly surprised (thrilled actually)that you are keto. We are back watching you guys and love knowing you are on this journey, using your farm fresh food. Keep up the grand work, and I’ll be looking forward to your cookbook!! 😉😉🥰👍

Keto does so many good things for you. I can’t intermittent fast because my blood sugar dips too low. I rely on keto and have for 3 years and I make most things from scratch too. I too rely in what I grow but my garden laid fallow last year-but I prepared for that and grew twice as much. I get meat and fat from my rancher friends and my eggs from another friend. This way I can stay out of the store. I think you guys look great!!

Love this content, you two! I did keto for 9 months before gradually shifting down to fewer than 20 carbs/day and finally to carnivore. Have felt better & better! I would assume you bring your own keto contribution to pot luck at church and therefore always have something that’s consistent with your way of eating. ❤

Everything looked so delicious 😊 Especially Monday supper!

Been on low carbs diet. Started with keto and mainly stick with that but I love smoothies. But no cravings. I was a noodle addict. Now I don’t crave them. I have lost 30 pounds. I have a lot of arthritis and mobility issues not very high. I really enjoy your cooking keto videos. Keep them coming.

Since you are on keto and eating more green beans, May I suggest a brand that I grew this year that was so amazing. I ordered seeds from MIGardener and it was the “Maxibel Haricot” green beans. You won’t regret it. ❤❤❤

I'm older and I've gradually found organic things like raw milk, grow most of my veges, eat more meat etc. I'm finding I don't get hungry between meals on organic food. I feel much better in the gut and don't get tired during the day. Thanks for the recipes💐🌻

Good for you guys! Protein is time-released energy so you stay satisfied. We eased into low carb by quitting just sugar the first week, then cutting other processed carbs. We don’t limit our carbs from veg very much, depending on how fast we are trying to lose weight. There is plenty of current research supporting keeping insulin down.

Glad your having success. I intermittent fast and just eat more sensibly I have lost 135lbs Hit a plateau and getting more excercise & just moving more. Broke my hip and had 5 surgeries in 12 months. Just keep moving.

Everything looks yummy. Love the True Story tee!

Could you please make a video of those waffles you made? Those look delicious. Also, you eat a lot of pork rinds. Do you buy specific ones from somewhere, or do you make your own? If you make your own can you show us how you do that? Thanks.

Please think about doing more Keto meal videos, Love it !!!

Please do a Greek yogurt video? I’m not entirely happy with what I’ve made myself.

My daughter and I were on keto for about 3 years then on Christmas 2 years ago we backsled into our old way of eating. We felt so much better while we were on keto. But especially the last several months our arthritis has been about to get the best of us. We will be getting back on keto starting after Christmas

I’ve been eating keto off and on for decades and it’s so fun to see what other people eat. I do love how simple you keep things. I think I will incorporate this! Thank you! I would love to see these types of what I ate this week videos again.

Ya'll, I stopped watching you guys nearly 18 months ago. I went keto and then on to carnivore. I had to cut a lot of things that were keto friendly but we’re still causing me issues. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. Which meant I still have sensitivities to lots of foods because of it. So, I went on to carnivore. It was a struggle to watch ya'll and know some of the things I could not eat or grow in my garden anymore. I think it is wonderful that you are both keto and have been for a year now! Congrats on your progress! And thank you for calling it a lifestyle. It truly is a lifestyle! Unfortunately, some of what you guys ate in one week in this video would give me too many issues and I pay for it within 24 hours. The nuts, the sesame oil, and the Brussels sprouts are the big ones. Thank the light I can do dairy! Anyway, keep it up, the more of us that are keto, ketovore and carnivore the better the chances they will do proper medical studies about this being the best way for humans to eat!

Thanks for sharing. All the food u eat looks very good and healthy 😋

Love you guys! I lost almost 60 lbs on keto. Be careful of gallstones though ❤❤

Its great to see you share your commitment to better health through dietary changes. Funny how that becomes a priority for many of us along the time our children venture away from home. Ive had chronically ill people (COPD) tell me my diet isnt healthy since I stopped consuming carbs. 😊 At some point I stopped using the word "keto" and began substituting "very low-carb" (goal 20gm/day). That's how I've avoided being lectured. KETO helped me transition into OMAD. I feel my best having an hour of internittent eating after most of my strenuous, daily work is done. Usually around 3:00 to 4:00 PM. The rest of my day is filled with mundane household chores and business paperwork. My go-to dessert is a serving of strawberries (about half a cup) and cottage cheese sweetened if need be by a few drops of stevia. My once monthly fav cheat-treat is a cup of black beans (a complex carb) and two quartered corn tortillas fried in avacado oil. Add some melted cheese, taco sauce and sour cream and its a plate of Black Bean Nachos.

Thank you for showing your actual meal plans. The specific examples you showed prove it IS Possible to eat strict Keto without depriving yourself of good, tasty and satisfying food.

Great video. I love getting ideas on what to eat. I have fallen off the wagon and really need to get back to it. I will eat more ketovore which helps my blood sugar better. I really enjoyed the video.

This is perfect timing! I started intermittent fasting over a year ago an I'm down 50# so far. We decided on keto more recently and we have been struggling to think of meals that are fast and good that match our lifestyle. Thank you

Thank you for sharing. You two look really good.

I absolutely love this! I am day 7 of Ketovore (which is like animal based keto) Please make more videos about this!! Its such an inspiration and I have followed yall since the beginning. LOVE everything yall do!!!

I am on keto and don’t have a homestead. When I go to the grocery the non keto stuff looks revolting now. Had thanksgiving at church and immediately felt ill eating non keto food. I was diabetic, walked with a cane, and size 16. Now I am off insulin and don’t even test as diabetic, no cane, and wear size 4 jeans. Good job you guys. I’m 72 years old but people thin I’m a lot younger.

Your canned green beans look amazing

So glad you’re doing this..would love to see more of it..husband and I are going to try keto at the first of the year..this is very helpful…

Your skin is glowing! I’m blown away by how beautiful your skin is!

This video encourages me to go back on Keto. Thank you for sharing your food lifestyle.

Love your “true story” tee shirt!

We started the Keto lifestyle along with fasting 3 weeks ago,so this is perfect timing.

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I just want to say I think you both are amazing! And I was so glad to hear your on Keto! I've been on Keto for 3 years and love all the benefits! I intermittent fast as well! I will say however, and I do understand it is winter, but salad greens are so important for our nutritional needs such as kale, parsley and cabbage! Do you not grow cabbage and do slaw's? I do buy organic salad mix from the store during winter, add kale, red cabbage, carrot, beet root, radish and add olive oil, some herbs and a squeeze of lemon or apple cider vinegar. Also, sauerkraut is probably the BEST probiotic's and I add a small side to many meals. I love your meals! FYI...A wonderful substitute for potatoes and keto friendly is daikon radish! I grow them during the summer and fall and add to soups, Asian stir-fry's, salads, slaw's, and dice up in corn-beef hash! Anyway, my 2 cents..I have learned lots from you, thank you!

Thank you! This really did help because you showed us it is very doable, and delicious. No specialty foods needed.

Diced radishes are also great in soup. Love chaffles too. Love your nativity shirt.

Keep working on the homestead a day of work will do more then any type of life style or diet

I have been eating like this for 5 years. Never felt better!!!!

Love the keto meal ideas! Heaven knows I've made Kevin's crusty bread and pizza crust recipe more than I ever should have lol. I am definitely on the keto/low carb way of eating. Its how I feel my best. I look forward to growing much more keto friendly vegetables next growing season and hopefully you'll share your keto garden plan too. Blessings to you ! ❤ 🇺🇲

Thank you from a new beginner!

Thank you for sharing, kevin mentioned that kizza from the other video and i wanted to say i trued it and my son in law and grand kids loved it so i now have something thats friendly to papaws diet that the kids love too. Thank you

Glad you folks found this too.❤ U look great

I just started keto/low carb/intermittentant fasting a few weeks ago. I am so glad you are posting these meal ideas, I need ideas to keep going. So far doing great.

Thank you for sharing your meals. I love how you are eating from your land!

I began on Keto 2021. I began at 186.6 and now manage my weight down at 152.5-154 range. I can eat bread now and then. I make my own bread . I fast , with exception of morning coffee.. I do not eat breakfast nor lunch. My food window begins at or about 4pm- 530 at the latest. Very No processed meats .. like lunch meats.. typically eat beef and pork chops and chicken. Zero soda , do not like anything with Soy in it nor high fructose corn syrup. I use real homemade vanilla extract... Keto has treated me quite well.. my blood pressure is also way down. My Keto pizza is the the type made with cauliflower and cheese and egg base or crust. When away from home I do not stick so much to Keto because eating out to me now is a treat.. Best of luck to both of you ..

You both look so much younger and healthy. I just started keto and have a huge addiction to sugar and bread, but I am slowly finding alternatives to curb my cravings. I enjoy seeing what others eat it is so helpful to us who is just starting keto and looking for inspiration.

Blessings, looking great

Thank you.

I definitely miss having our own farm. Homegrown meats, eggs, and fruits and veggies taste so incredibly good!!! For those of you who have never had homegrown, you won't believe how great these things taste!
