This week we talk Poop. You know, the usual crap (haha) and how Fibre is not our friend. Christina tried Ted Naiman's P:E diet. This is a short term, high fibre, low fat and low calorie "rapid weight loss diet". She will talk about it in an upcoming YouTube video but you get to hear how she found the high fibre part of the diet. You can read more about it here https://pedietbook.com/

After 15 minutes of typical Irish weather talk we get around to this weeks topic - Don't sweat the small stuff - worry, anxiety and living through a zombie apocalypse!! And yes, I managed to edit out most of the thunder. Book ref: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, we highly recommend you get the audio version of this book too, it is a joy to listen too. Instagram ref: @diaryofashrinkingmommy Also check out the blog for additional resources to accompany this Podcast: http://ketosisters.ie/dont-sweat-the-little-stuff/

This week we talk about the little wins when doing keto, not just weight loss but the every day life stuff you can do with ease because of the weight loss and energy gains. We also address Brenda's stalking of a certain person in the keto community!! The surgeon that Christina was talking about but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart! https://www.instagram.com/alexgalvezmd/?hl=en Isabella's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/isabellaisketo/?hl=en

This week we talk about your thoughts being created by the people that surround you. What is your inner voice made up of? Do we conform to these voices or can we be our true selves? We also ask the question, what do you wish an adult had said to you? And we get personal about some of our own thoughts and feelings.

This week we debunk some weight loss ideals about the Keto Diet and also call out some completely manipulative behaviour by a big food giants. Did we also manage a week without a random segue? Listen to find out!!

Short and sweet this week! After a long, stressful week we talk about overwhelm and how we deal with it.  And if you can believe it, we were just too tired to drift off into any random segways!!   Plinky Plonky link (yes, that's a technical term): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2VAEhv0PubtQhbuG8MWldE?si=ZZnqg3ZVTIeaGsqACIc_YA  Podcast Resources: http://ketosisters.ie/dealing-with-overwhelm/ Here is the link to join Bootcamp https://ketochristina.com/bootcamp/

Adele is back in the limelight about her weight loss and Christina has a bugbear she needs to vent!! So, this week we talk Adele's weight loss, saber-tooth tigers and having hoohas in your pants (yes that is a technical term!). We also literally talk over one another for about the last 2 minutes with some exiting news!

This episode is a long chat and maybe to some a bit controversial, but we talk about the rise of trolling in the Keto and Carnivore world from Vegans, the vegan diet and also the environment. And, yes we managed to remove some of the tractor noise, oh and also insert some fabulous sound effects (editing ninja level 10)!!! There are a lot of resources mentioned in this podcast, some of which are set out below, the rest can be found on our blog at http://ketosisters.ie/ Shawn Baker’s IGTV video https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_yuIifn-hp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Ryan Lowry’s YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzzoU_dEFbWy0zEEkLv-iCw Ryan Lowry's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ryanlowry/?hl=en Laura Spath’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lauraespath/?hl=en

As Christina starts to show the signs of major lock down fatigue, this week we talk about getting back to basics with Keto and those dreaded food labels and what's behind them and apologies we couldn't 100% edit out Brenda messing with a pencil!! Book reference in this episode: Not on the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate; Felicity Lawrence

This week we go against our usual mantra of avoiding keto carb replacement foods. It is unusual times so it calls for unusual measures. We also seem to go way off topic into some random territory (not like us!) Some serious 'squirrel' moments this week. Maybe we are finally losing it. Books we mention during this episode: Keto Life - Sahil Makhija aka Headbanger's Kitchen Keto Made Easy - Keto Connect The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen - Carolyn Ketchum

In this episode we discuss the myth around growing up and becoming an adult! Is adulting a yarn we were spun? What does it mean? And are we, the Keto Sisters, grownups? I think we all know the answer to that!!

This week we make a really good stab at answering a Listener's questions about meal prepping and cooking for one, and amongst other ramblings finally solve the world's problem with what to do with idiots who won't stay home during the pandemic!!

From conscious uncoupling the fridge to EFT as a form of coping and Mark Hamill we have this week covered. We also answer that all important question ... Is it OK to buy a spade at a time like this?

We would like to say this is a standout, thought provoking podcast, but hey it's us!! So listen to what happens when we rock up to the mics with no specific topics in mind. Stay safe everyone!!

This week we talk coronavirus of course, Brenda puts on her judgement pants and Christina does the stats and we ramble on and on and on.... Resources mentioned: The artist behind the gorgeous Keto Sisters' artwork https://www.instagram.com/annekeenanhiggins/?hl=en Marian Keyes - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grown-Ups-Marian-Keyes/dp/0718179749/ref=sr_1_3?crid=315COX3HPW4Z4&keywords=marian+keyes&qid=1584099229&sprefix=Marian+Ke%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-3

This week we talk about amongst other things, Christina's underwear issues (you'll hear),w e talk mindset and breaking through those mental barriers we set earlier on in life. Winter can be such a hard time for most of us and the weather doesn't help. We should really be doing what we naturally would and slow down. Almost like a hibernation. We're happily taking donations at this time if you wish to sponsor us to do nothing for 6 months next autumn/winter! It all started when Christina was given THIS BOOK by a friend last year. It's supposed to be just about unlocking earning potential but it transformed her life because she finally realised why she was self sabotaging her weight loss. The book is called Get Rich Lucky Bitch by Denise Duffield-Thomas. Lovely Girlie Bits (Aka Karen)'s video tutorial that goes very, but hilariously, wrong. Proving that not all beauty influencers are polished and perfect and she's not apologetic at all. We love her! https://youtu.be/gSCdDw-p7u4

In this episode we answer a listener's question about fasting and why they are finding it difficult to incorporate it into their keto diet. Also, we may have mentioned the zombie apocalypse a few times too!! (Completely unrelated of course)

In light of this weeks news about Caroline Flack, we talk about online trolling and some of the nastiness Christina has experienced on her YouTube channel.

This week we have mini rants about the Press and their stories about the singer Adele and her massive 7 stone weightloss. For reference, here are the links to the articles we discuss: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7998023/Adele-looks-thinner-black-athletic-leggings-LA-dramatic-weight-loss.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7999147/Adele-weight-loss-shedding-pounds-singer-look-different.html

We are back after last weeks technical disaster. We have a quick catch up and discuss emotional eating and the return of a Keto King, Jimmy Moore. You can follow Jimmy on his return to the keto community after his sabbatical on his Instagram account @livinlowcarbman Also, if there is anything you would like us to discuss just DM us or send us your questions for a Q&A session.

In this episode we present our first Listener Q&A of 2020. It is a subject close to our hearts, we talk about dealing with energy sappers, overcoming being a people pleaser and most importantly how to save your energy for yourself and your own journey through life.

In this episode we discuss all the negative press towards the ketogenic diet and its implications. We focus on two specific articles, which we list below, their content and the potential damage they may cause. Articles: 1. https://www.vice.com/en_in/article/z3bv94/keto-diet-experts-rank-best 2. https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/slow-carbs-dominate-top-ranked-diets-keto-falls-flat/

We talk about our goals for 2020 and have some suggestions for you too!!

In our second last podcast for 2019 we continue with our self-care chats with being kind to yourself over the holiday period and into 2020, together with the usual segways and tangents!! Remember, if there is something you would like us to chat about then reach out to us. We are so looking forward to 2020 and all the chats we are going to have.

In this episode we follow on from Episode 27 with a discussion on not being afraid to say no, and put yourself first.

This week we discuss people's reaction when you tell them you are keto and how best to respond, there may be penguins involved!! We may also have drifted into talking about our favourite topic... bacon and eggs; what's not to love?

Back after a short break, we discuss food we will never reintroduce into our diet. Also, there may be tangents!! Here is the link to the fabulous Keto in the Chaos - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCztuBb7p2XYrxcKLw6WB-nw And just to advise we did have some signal related issues recording this podcast so some of it may seem jumpy, but hey, I did my best editing so please be kind :)

On this week's episode, apart from the usual tangents we talk about getting winter ready and that all important self care to keep keto and stay on track. Oh and big pigs!!

Calorie Counting is something we've all been taught to do. Unfortunately we can go to extremes by counting every calorie based on an online calculator or not counting at all and overeating. Either way we're going to slow our weight loss and can even cause long term damage. Listen as the Keto Sisters discuss how to manage this dietary minefield.

We'd like to say we have titled this podcast correctly, but in true fashion, we did digress on to other topics too, but it is mostly about Brenda's eating habits on holidays!! We did discuss big underwear at one stage and so must reference @daintdressdiaries - one of our Instagram favorites :)

Trigger warning - we talk a lot about pizza and bread in this episode so if you're especially vulnerable to food triggers be warned! Here is the link to the Nu3 products https://www.nu3.fr
