I survived my first keto thanksgiving by fasting for 18hrs before the big meal, than eat a full thanksgiving dinner and started again the next day. It worked, I lost 3# since then.

Dear Abby had a great saying "If you'll forgive me for not answering, I'll forgive you for asking"!! lol

[vickibennett]

I asked what the menu was going to be for thanksgiving! I made sure I had something keto to fill in because EVERYTHING except the turkey was carbs! I are ONE bite of each….dressing, corn, cheesy potatoes, and cranberries. It was fine. I know not everyone is okay with one bite, I’m lucky in that 😊

My psychological trick is going carnivore for whatever amount of days I can manage.
So by the tme i go back to keto it feels like a luxury and I'm spoiling myself.
The added bonus is a few quick kilo or two loss as well.

2 1/2 years in and 50 pounds down. Thank you for your practical tips. When I go to any event where the host has food, I bring something special to share with others. I make sure it is delicious to me and others as well, and most of the time I prefer what I have brought to what is provided.

I follow Keto to control my type 2 diabetes without meds. I can't fall off but out of all the "diets" through the many years Keto has been 100% the easiest! Love your videos & recipes. Happy holidays from a fellow Chicagoan! ❤

I've been on strict under 20 gram ketovore for 20 months. At thanksgiving this year I gave myself permission to have a couple of bites of a no crust, not overly sweet cheesecake. Now I can't say I've never cheated, but not beating myself up over it. Staying strict keto is definitely a mind set. I watch and enjoy all of your videos, but recreating the foods that got me into trouble in the first place doesn't work for me. However, it's a great comfort to know that if there ever is something I really want you guys will have figured out how to make it. Good luck to everyone over the holiday season :D
(edited to add: Your suggestions are all terrific)

I love the idea of saying something like “this is just my first round” intimating that you’ll come back for seconds. I am definitely using that!

[catemaclean]

I'm prediabetic and don't want to go on meds. Keto has been the best and easiest way of eating. Some of your ideas are very effective. Thanks from a follower in Canada.

I made your new stuffing recipe and it totally saved my Thanksgiving. I am totally making that again for Christmas. Thanks for all that you do to help this community

I really enjoy your content. I lost 50+ lbs on keto. It’s the only lifestyle plan that’s worked long term for me. I started five years ago.

[luanneneill]

Those were my five days, too, plus all the other days in-between!! My history with low carb/keto mirrors yours, too!!

A few years ago, after losing 40 lbs. for the umpteenth time, I concentrated on creating keto treats using a variety of sugar substitutes for the holiday period. It was the first time in my life that I was able to get through it without cheating or gaining weight!! It worked!!

However, as always, my success on low carb/keto was limited as my sugar addiction would always end up overpowering me at some point and I’d gain back most of what I’d lost and have to start over.

In 2022, I discovered the Carnivore way of eating and started that. By taking all sweetness out of my diet, I was able the rid myself of my cravings and sugar addiction!! I know it sounds so extreme, but the freedom I feel at not having that monkey on my back is soooo worth it!!! I don’t miss sweetness at all and am a much happier and content person.

I understand about traditions and all, so I just have homemade eggnog without the sweetness. I love crème brûlée and ice cream that way, too. My whole outlook has changed so that I don’t want any sweetness as it’s just not good for my health and I want to continue feeling as well as I do now, without the six drugs I was on for various health ailments.

I can be around anything and everything without any twinge of longing because of how well I feel. I’m careful not to say anything to others because I don’t want to ruin their good time. I just thank God that I’ve been delivered from my addiction, as I’m an abstainer not a moderator.

That being said, for those who are moderators or are wondering which they are, following the keto way and using sugar substitutes to make their holiday faves is a great way to stay the course and make it through this long season. I sure wish I could, like I did that one year, but alas, it’s not for me,

Thanks for a great video that covers a variety of topics on how to successfully navigate through the season and come out on the other end happy and without the dreaded weight gain!!

❤❤❤

Wonderful advice. Only 5 days, not 3 months bc you cheated once. And eat before you go. Thank you

[CarolynParsons-mvji]

I eat what I want on the holiday day, then go back to my low carb lifestyle. I try really hard not to overeat and if the scales go up a pound or two, I step back and look at the big picture at how much weight I’ve already lost. By the way, I’ve lost 120 pounds over the last 2 years. One or two pounds does not make a huge difference in the long run. I’m also super dedicated to weighing every single week without fail. It keeps me accountable.
I’ve been able to find low carb substitutions that make up for “normal” foods I used to eat all the time. I’ve also found a lot of new foods I really enjoy. It’s been a pretty incredible journey.

"Spoiling" your appetite before you go is the perfect strategy for me! Thank you thank you thank you. I can't believe that I never thought of that before! I always appreciate your transparency.

[hbbstrong]

I am one of those people who cannot eat artificial sweeteners except for in very few products. Perfect example is choc zero products. They have been a game changer for me! But my point of bringing this up is that I love that you say technically keto because I am technically keto even though I eat things like fruit or berries or honey. However, and to one of the points of your video, you can eat things like honey, as long as you keep portion sizes under the carb amount. A perfect example for me is a berry vinaigrette with honey. Homemade of course! Bottom line is to NOT punish myself and enjoy what I'm eating WHILE being responsible. Love you two and your videos!!! 🙏

[SandraKennedy-zhms]

I jump, not fall, off the keto wagon during the holidays every stinkin' time!!

[janetlee]

Thank you, I needed this today! I’ve fallen so hard since Halloween and need to hear every word of this. You girls are awesome ❤

[flipnawesome]

I needed this. I got off keto a year ago and have tried to get back on, only to give up and eat a ton of carbs because I was “denied” them.
