Hi, I’m Tammi! Welcome to my 2020 Weight Loss Journey! I am a 45-year-old mother of 9 and I have been eating ketogenically for 161 weeks! I lost 200 lbs on …
Yay, you! I know things get frustrating, but you’re helping all of us. God bless!
Tammy, you have been taken from the ball and chain of being 200 pounds heavier to that of worrying about a weight fluctuation which perhaps you should just table and just go buy how your clothing fits and be your lovely self, fit, fun, and Fabulous. Why exchange another ball and chain for the one that you left behind so long?!?! Thank you for keeping it real!
The scale goes up and down for me all of the time, too. You're doing great, so keep your chin up!
I've been doing higher protein than I did when I first started Keto. It seems to be working for me, for now. It's kind of a science experiment where we find what works, until it doesn't, and then we have to change it up. LOL
You've been doing awesome, and your whole journey has been amazing!
I’m confused, are you still trying to loose or are you maintaining?
Have you watched Dr Dan Maggs’ videos? He is excellent, explains very well that yes keto works, but need to account for fats. It’s our insulin levels we need to be concerned about.
In maintenance, your body will not stay in one spot on the scale, it’s going to move.
In my experience the water weight is usually to do with sweeteners. Try going sweetener free for a few days.
WHAT…… why the critics, if someone needs to lose weight then eating more protein works well. Each person is different. Some people follow & eat Vegan and that works for them. Megha is eating higher protein to lose baby weight & they’re pretty much the experts. Great job on your maintenance challenge as it’s not for the faint of heart (hard boiled eggs, nuts, meat sticks, Premier Protein Drinks).
I was strick keto for a year and been maintaining on low carb since around 50g of carbs a day sometimes more .I’m 165lb and 5ft 10.
So interesting!!! I love that you are having success with the higher protein. I read the other day to aim for 1g of protein per LB of your goal weight and boy those days that I'm shooting for the 120-140g range I feel more satiated. My binge brain got all lit up a few weeks ago so I'm not even sticking to keto but I'm getting my protein 🤦🤦🤦🤦 girl you just keep giving me hope, you're amazing.
Your face looks so slender. You are doing a great job
Two things you mentioned that were red flags: Diet soda and eating after 7:00. Maybe research that. Diet soda can actually come to cause gain in some people. Most Keto experts recommend not eating after 7:00.
Once you learn your body you just have to stick with what works for you. Both high fat and higher protein keto work well, but they don't usually both work well for each person. We just have to find out which one works best for us as individuals. For me, higher protein works best and I'm not very interested in the keto-approved filler foods, but that goes along with how I was before keto. I enjoyed real meals and didn't eat many sweets, so my taste hasn't changed much. Give me a couple pieces of meat and cooked veggies and I'm good to go. I don't track, but based on the meals you show in your videos I eat more protein than you so I don't see anything wrong with the amount of protein that you eat. I'm more on the ketovore side of things. LoL
The scale is not ever going to just sit at one weight there are too many factors involved. Maintenance is more about staying within a healthy weight range. It's a balancing act. Congrats on the inches lost!!! That's the real story. :-}
I've been doing higher protein then I've ever done before. I stay full I have no cravings and everyone keeps telling me I look like I've lost more weight but I haven't must be inches.
You are probably peri menopausal. I retained a lot starting around 45.

I am also hooked on too much heavy whipping cream each morning in my 2 cups of coffee. I am trying to not overdo. Got to have something girl!
I don't mind you watching the road instead of us.
If you feel keto protein bars are what you need to stay on track, there are loads of recipes out there and you can control the ingredients.
Now, with your measurements going down while the scale isn't, it could be the muscle mass you're gaining.
No one should be upset with you about it. Everyone is different and even keto is no exception. Fats are best for some and higher protein is better for others. I think it just depends on your body. I have both my protein and fat set high, which works for me. The keto sweets are a real down fall for me and I can't touch the heavy cream at all. Inches are more important!
Oh my goodness such a love fest at the end… you’re the best Tammi !!!!❤️💕😊congrats on the inches gone and just hang in there, you know all too well with keto it changes from day to day and not always in the desired direction.
So you know my issues with higher fat. Ive had so much stress lately that I've gone higher fat again for a while but it's honestly not working. I feel more hungry and consume so many calories. Honestly I just feel better on higher protein lower fat. Maybe some people's bodies just react differently. So back to the protein for me.
Gorgeous Utah !!! Sorry I haven’t been on YouTube much, had to concentrate on projects and playing on my phone is toooo distracting when trying to stay on schedule. Love you, miss you and I just gotta say you look marvelous and you know when it feels right, trust your keto judgement. I feel as a woman this isn’t a perfect science. I feel that we all have different health issues, stresses, needs and circumstances and so if you find a sweet spot- stay!
Where are you? The snow-covered mountains are breathtaking.
Me too up and down between 176 and 179 ugh trying to get to about 173 or 174
So, know that I love your story & your courage!🙏🤗 As someone who has watched probably 90% of your videos & has shared your amazing logic you learned of using FAT as the lever in what we are trying to accomplish (loss vs. maintenance), it's hard to watch you sometimes get wishy washy on some of your original beliefs that you were so dedicated too in the beginning. Some videos of you going off the rails with the KETO snacks is hard for me to watch because I know logically that isn't the best behavior. As a working mom I understand the needs for convenience of our eating, I just think now that you have allowed yourself the liberty of processed KETO snacks you are finding a little struggle. You were such a strong advocate in the beginning of your journey with keeping food as clean as possible. I love that you teach us to do some planning for emotional eating, to minimalize the damage we can do on bad mental days. Maybe try no weird snacks, even the devilish whipped cream for two weeks?? The same advice I'm hoping you would give one of your clients?? Truly not trying to offend you. Just see a lot of my own conflicts in you. 🤗🙌 Maintenace to me is really where the rubber meets the road, the euphoria of huge losses has warn off by then.
Oof….dat audio feedback tho
I hate the scale!! Also lol I was on onederland at 199.0 then even though my clothes feel looser the scale is saying 203! What the heck !!! I’ve been on track with my macros 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Congratulations on the lost inches!
That’s the thing I don’t do, Ive never measured myself
High fat never has worked for me, I've tried it too many times, the mt. was beautiful. Wish you a better week.love you…
I'm starting to think for me weight maintenance is staying within a certain numberical range. I'm also learning I do better eating more on protein versus having all the fats. I am also more satisfied when I have more protein. I could eat all the fat and still want more too.
