Jessie Is Down 50 lbs and Crushed Her Goals

Jessie Is Down 50 lbs and Crushed Her Goals

October 22, 2022 by Leave a Comment

I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life, but I was my biggest (over 200lbs) after having my three amazing boys (singleton and twins). I started Keto for a few months to get ready for a wedding last year and I felt amazing. I had lost 20lbs, but my old eating habits came back. Along with my old eating habits, the depression came back too. I finally dug myself out of the hole I was in and started keto back up for the New Year. I crushed my goals, ran a handful of 5ks, competed in a tough ...

The Connection Between Keto and Cholesterol

The Connection Between Keto and Cholesterol

September 14, 2015 by 18 Comments

A common misconception is that the ketogenic diet increases “bad” cholesterol levels and clogs your arteries because it is so high in fat.  However, much of the recent research shines light on how high-fat, low-carb diets can optimize your cholesterol levels and in fact improve your heart health. In this article, we will take a closer look at the most up-to-date research on different types of cholesterol, how each one affects our health, and the impact that the keto diet has on our ...

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

January 13, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Bread is one of most widely consumed foods in westernized societies. In the United States, it is the second most commonly eaten food, following closely behind grain-based desserts. This data is not surprising when you consider how many popular food items come with bread. From delicious foods that use bread as an edible food delivery mechanism like sandwiches and hamburgers to the meals that are served with a side of bread like soups, salads, and pasta — it is almost astonishing that we don't ...

I started my Keto Journey in May of 2016. It was word of mouth through some of the girls I worked with after doing some of my own research I came across ruled.me and was able to calculate my macronutrients and also had a great guideline as to what foods were good to eat, and which were not so great. I have lost 60lbs weighing in at 210 and am now down to 150. Keto helped save my life and is my forever lifestyle eating now. Keto on... #ketostrong. 1. What tactics did you employ to help ...

Keto Apple Pie

Keto Apple Pie

April 13, 2023 by Leave a Comment

This divine classic gets a Keto twist that starts with the flakiest pastry made with almond and coconut flour and moistened with egg, the best butter, and cream cheese. Once you have mastered this super simple keto pastry - don’t forget the xanthan gum for maximum flexibility - you will want to use it all the time. Of course, Keto Apple Pie doesn’t have apples in it as they are high-carb fruit; we have swapped in zucchini which holds spice beautifully and mimics that soft but firm ...

What is the Slow Carb Diet?

What is the Slow Carb Diet?

April 22, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Like the ketogenic diet, the slow carb diet is based on simple rules and low-carb whole foods that can help promote fat loss and health improvement. Both diets have led to incredible weight loss results of 100 pounds or more. That being said, the slow carb diet sets itself apart from other low-carb diet plans in many ways, including the incorporation of some carb-rich foods and a cheat day once a week. This approach may sound refreshingly easy, and it can be highly effective, but there are ...

Carb Blockers 101: Benefits, Side Effects, Results

July 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Carbohydrates are everywhere. From rice to bread, east to west, it is difficult to find dishes and diets that don't derive the majority of their calories from carbs. If we could just find a way to keep our bodies from absorbing these pesky calories, then we would be able to indulge in our favorite carb-rich dishes without gaining those extra pounds. Sounds like it's just a hedonic fantasy, right? Interestingly enough, research suggests that blocking carb absorption is possible. Let me ...

Makul Dropped 50 Pounds in 5 Months

I started my Keto journey in August of 2018. As can be seen from the first pic, my before shows a bloated, puffy me; someone who looks like he's been stuffed into his clothes. That realization, and the fact that the bathroom scales showed me as being merely 1 kilo shy of a 100, prompted me to get serious with changing my lifestyle into a healthy one. I spent the first couple weeks just reading up on what the Keto diet is all about, and understanding the science behind it. The biggest ...

What is Gluconeogenesis?

What is Gluconeogenesis?

August 7, 2017 by 4 Comments

It is time to answer the question, what is gluconeogenesis? But first, it is important to know some background information on your body's fat-burning process: Eat fat burn fat. Eat carbs burn carbs. It's that simple, right? Yes and no. There's more to it. Your body has many different metabolic pathways that it uses to provide energy for your cells. Glycolysis (using sugar for fuel) and lipolysis (using fat for fuel through beta-oxidation) are the most well-known metabolic pathways, but ...

Keto Style Szechuan Chicken

Keto Style Szechuan Chicken

January 31, 2014 by 12 Comments

Spicy with a hint of sweet. This chicken will knock your socks off and you'll continue to eat it because it's fantastic! For me, the garnish of just a few gratings of lime and lemon really took it over the edge. The subtle citrus notes as I was eating added a great contrast in flavors through the dish. I tried to stay away from Asian food, but it just never works out! I wanted something that was both a bit sweet and very spicy. While I was making the sauce for this it didn't taste extremely ...
