The 3 Ketogenic Diets Explained: SKD, CKD & TKD

The 3 Ketogenic Diets Explained: SKD, CKD & TKD

Depending on your goals and activity levels, you may need to experiment with different variations of the ketogenic diet to get the best results. For most people, the standard ketogenic diet is all we need to reach our desired body weight. However, if you train at a high intensity regularly, you may struggle to keep up with your workouts after restricting carbohydrate intake. In this case, it may be better to use carbs as a tool to boost performance, and the best way to do this is by using a ...

A Comprehensive Guide to Micronutreints

A Comprehensive Guide to Micronutreints

To maintain the health of your brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, immune system, and every other cell in your body, you need to consume an adequate amount of macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients, primarily proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, are needed in large amounts, and you can learn more about them in this article. Keto micronutrients, on the other hand, are required in much smaller quantities (which is why we call them "micronutrients"), but failing to get ...

Crystal Has Lost Over 80 Pounds on Keto

Crystal Has Lost Over 80 Pounds on Keto

I started my Keto journey in 2018 at my highest weight of 274 lbs. I have lost 80 lbs and so many inches. I started in a size 22w and now wear a size 9. Keto has changed my life in more ways then I had ever imagined. Keto is the only way of eating that had ever worked for me. My inflammation is gone, I have energy through the roof, my joints don’t hurt any longer and I have that want to keep up with all my daily chores (4 kids, small farm and the daily duties that come along with it). When ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

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 ...

Kathleen’s 40 lb. Keto Weight Loss Story

Kathleen’s 40 lb. Keto Weight Loss Story

When I started Ruled.me, I really wanted to be able to help people lose weight and get to their own weight loss goals no matter what. I had been successful and many others had also been at the time, but there just wasn't that much information out there on the ketogenic diet. It's been an extremely rewarding experience to help so many people, and I'm really happy that Kathleen is one of them. On a daily basis, I get many e-mails from people in their 40's, 50's, and 60's thinking that they just ...

Ketogenic Diet vs. SAD and Exercise

Ketogenic Diet vs. SAD and Exercise

The ketogenic diet keeps astonishing researchers with its ability to promote weight loss and reverse a handful of diseases. But can keto help quell the growing epidemic of metabolic syndrome that now affects 1 in 4 American adults? A 2017 research study provides compelling evidence that it can. In fact, the data suggests that the ketogenic diet is much more effective than the old paradigm of diet and exercise. Let’s take a closer look at the implications of this data by exploring the ...

10 Keto Dairy-Free Recipes for Lunch & Dinner

10 Keto Dairy-Free Recipes for Lunch & Dinner

Going dairy-free on keto isn't a restriction, it's a filter. You cut the obvious stuff like cheese and cream, and what's left tends to be cleaner, lighter, and honestly more interesting. I've been eating keto long enough to know what works, and some of my most-used recipes happen to be completely dairy-free without trying to be. No clever substitutions, no sacrificing texture. Just food that works. The beef and broccoli I make at home is one of those recipes. It tastes like the stir fry I used ...

Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Cauliflower Soup

Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Cauliflower Soup

Soup season has arrived and this one's definitely going to warm your bones. There's snow storms and unseasonably cold temperatures just about everywhere in the north now, and I've been ready to dig into a bowl of soup all week. This is like a sophisticated version of tomato soup and grilled cheese - except without the bread. The tangy goats cheese really gives it another dimension at the end. And bacon? Well, bacon is fantastic on everything - as most of you already know! If you're dairy ...

What is Ketosis?

What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is the metabolic state when blood ketone levels reach a certain level (around 0.5 mmol/L). People will typically enter ketosis when they restrict carbohydrates (i.e., by following the ketogenic diet) or eat little to no calories (i.e., fasting for multiple days). In general, the body will not enter ketosis as long as there are enough carbs available from the diet or stored glycogen (the storage form of sugar) to provide the cells with energy. As long as sugar is available (and you ...

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

Beef is probably the protein I've leaned on most over the past decade-plus of eating keto. It's not just that it fits the macros, it's that beef actually holds up to the cooking you want to do. High heat, long braises, quick skillets. It handles all of it. I've gone through phases with chicken, pork, fish. But when I need something that fills me up and keeps me full for hours, beef is where I land. There's a reason keto and beef go together so well: the fat content lines up with what a low-carb ...
