A common misconception is that a ketogenic diet is expensive. People see low-carb and automatically start calculating the high prices of meat. Luckily, this is not the case. A keto diet focuses on high fat and moderate protein which allows us to save money by focusing on the fat first. I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving. There are also many ways to save ...
Jalapeno Popper Mug Cake
I've been on a binge of jalapeno popper stuff for a while now. Between my Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole and my Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs, I really wanted to make something a bit different. Sometimes on keto we are forced to choose between easy and tasty - but that's the complete opposite when it comes to this recipe. Mug cakes are the perfect way to have a meal in just a few minutes.

Vanilla Whisky Keto Mug Cake
With St. Patty's day coming up, it's time to figure out how to get as much alcohol into our food as possible. Not only will we be drinking it, but we need to be eating it too. Right...RIGHT? Fine, even if you don't want to drink your food, this is delicious. Very nice hints of vanilla roll through and the alcohol just comes through with enough flavor to balance it out. It will be a little less moist than the other cakes, but it pairs VERY well with a dollop of whipped cream on the top (and a ...

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat
Most of our fat intake comes from three types of fatty acids: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated. Each one has unique properties that interact with our bodies in different ways. Polyunsaturated fats, in particular, sparked the first investigations into how certain fats may be essential for optimal health, growth, and development. This led to the discovery of omega-6s, omega-3s, and what we now know as "essential fatty acids" — which are all polyunsaturated fats. Despite the ...

Kayla Cote Lost 75 Lbs and Improved Her Acid Reflux
I have been following Ruled.me and love the website, meal ideas and tips. I even go back sometimes and re-read as a refresher. The longer you are on a "diet" I find you get lazy in a way and need to go back to the basics. I have been on a keto diet for over a year now and have had amazing progress.
