When people are new to the ketogenic diet, they often wonder what type of foods they should and could eat while restricting carbs. Although we do have an in-depth ketogenic food list, it doesn’t cover everything and doesn’t include all of the keto-friendly replacements and recipes that are most commonly asked about. Use our recommendations below to get an idea of the best alternatives for common high-carb ingredients and what foods you can replicate while going the low-carb route. Not only ...

Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies
A little delicious treat is something that everyone on a ketogenic diet will crave. But, when it comes to the carb counts and fat ratios, we need to make sure everything is in check before we start baking. These blondie squares are 88% calories from fat - just about good enough to be considered a fat bomb. As many of you know, I try to stay clear of the usual "fat bomb" consisting of frozen coconut oil and cocoa powder. You can check out my other "twists" on fat bombs by trying out a chia seed ...

Chocolate Covered Maple Pecan Bacon
I know I'm giving you the run over on the mug cakes this week but I figured you'd want to get this made ASAP because it's just too good to not make! This stuff was handed down from the heavens as far as I'm concerned, and I won't judge if you end up stocking this up on trays in your fridge. The only qualm I have with this stuff is that the chocolate melts pretty quick because it's mostly made up of fat...but who the heck cares? Are you going to be holding this stuff for more than 10 seconds? ...

Low Carb Corned Beef Cabbage Rolls
Okay, okay. I know I promised to bring you savory mug cakes and I definitely will - I just thought a nice intermittent break would be useful for the people that don't always enjoy mug cakes. Don't worry though, they're coming soon! These cabbage rolls are really an awesome way to eat corned beef. I knew for sure I was making corned beef for St. Patty's day (and sorry I didn't post this yesterday, I had it for dinner last night), but I didn't know what way I would eat it. Once I took the ...

Maple Pecan Keto Muffins
So I figured we needed a bit of a break from all the mug cakes before I start off on the savory series. Though I have all of the savory ones done, I wanted to give a bit of a treat to you guys (especially the ones without microwaves)! Boy, I didn't imagine in todays day and age that some people just don't own microwaves. They're so convenient but I do understand that the nutrients are pretty much sucked out of the joyous life of everything by those microwave radiation waves. Either way, I ...

Lakeya’s 70 Pound Weight Loss Journey
I've always struggled with my weight since my teen years. I never really noticed how big I was until I stepped on the scale a few years ago and saw 360! I cried with pure shock and disbelief. I'm almost 6'3 and carry my weight very well. So I didn't feel 360. I tried to eat somewhat healthy (terrible on the weekends) and work out 6 days a week. I lost about 40 pounds in 2 years! That wasn't impressive for someone at 360. So last year in May I gave keto a shot. I found ruled.me and studied ...

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet
The vegetarian diet is commonly regarded as one of the healthiest diets for humanity. Many studies have found that vegetarian diets are associated with a lower rate of heart disease and diabetes and may improve health more than the average non-vegetarian diet. However, this doesn’t mean that the vegetarian diet or the vegetarian keto diet is the best diet for everyone’s health. The ketogenic diet, for example, has been found to be more effective than the vegetarian diet for weight loss, ...

Jacqueline Barrett Lost 62 lbs
I wanted to share my story with keto, and using Ruled.Me as a resource. I've found Ruled.Me to be invaluable! It's one of my go to's for recipes because they're always solid. I don't have to worry that I'll get a questionable result. I've always enjoyed cooking and baking and wasn't sure which end was up when transitioning to a ketogenic diet. There were so many unfamiliar ingredients and I found it overwhelming. I've watched hours, and hours, of America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country. Just ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes
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 ...
