When I was left to make dinner with only bacon, cheese, and spinach left in the fridge I had to think of something that would blow all of my other bacon recipes out of the water. This one did it for sure, and then some. Presenting the cheddar bacon explosion! The leftovers are EVEN better. You can cut the slices thin, pan fry them to get a crisp outer shell on both sides, and stick it between 2 slices of Focaccia Bread. Absolutely delicious. I use Tone's Southwest Chipotle Seasoning in ...

The 10 Best Tips for Keto Diet Success
April 7, 2018 by 2 Comments
The ketogenic diet is a diet like no other. It combines the power of calorie restriction with the unique benefits of nutritional ketosis to provide people with an effective way to lose weight and improve overall health. As I look deeper into the keto diet, however, there is a huge discrepancy between what people think they need to do versus what the science says is best for most people. Some common myths like "carbs and insulin are the only reason why we get fat", "you will lose weight as ...

“Keto Saved My Life” – Stefan, Down Over 200 Lbs.
October 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment
After nearly 4 years clean from drugs and alcohol, I had switched addictions to food and put on around 200 lbs. In the end, I weighed just north of 400 pounds and was facing bariatric surgery, when I had this sort of breakthrough epiphany (after a dark moment of suicidal depression, and a few weeks later this chance encounter with a beautiful female friend from high school) where I realized that I was in control of my life; I was the one who got myself into this situation, and therefore could be ...

Kathleen’s 40 lb. Keto Weight Loss Story
November 12, 2015 by 5 Comments
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 ...

"Are you OK? You don't look well." These are the words that began a change in my life style.  Like any normal guy, I wanted to say, "Yeah, I'm fine, no worries." This time was different. I didn't feel right, something was off.  The "normal guy" answer wouldn't work.  I've never felt so much pressure. Pressure on my chest.  Chest pains. I felt like someone was standing in my chest. "No, my chest feels heavy. I don't know why...its not really pain, but I feel weird." I asked mom not ...

A Comprehensive Guide to Keto-Friendly Salad Dressing
December 9, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Greens, meat, and high-fat dressing — the quick and easy keto trinity that’ll help you meet your needs for vitamins, minerals, fiber, fat, and protein in one low-carb meal. Finding a healthy and tasty keto salad dressing, however, can get tricky when you venture beyond olive oil and vinegar. Most of the popular dressings will either be high in sugar or packed with inflammatory oils (and sometimes both). Even dressings that seem keto-friendly may still contain unhealthy ingredients.

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (which is also commonly referred to as heart disease) is the leading cause of death globally.

What Are Ketones? Everything You Need to Know
August 9, 2017 by 5 Comments
One miraculous energy source has garnered the attention of many nutrition experts and researchers over the past decade. No, it is not carbohydrates, fats, or even protein. We call them ketones or ketone bodies (more on the difference between the two later). To your body, however, ketones are nothing new.

It all started November 2014 with boimetrics testing for our health insurance. After getting my results, I just wanted to cry. I want to be healthy for myself and my kids.

I use ruled.me to figure my macro nutrients and I LOVE the recipes! I try at least 1 new recipe a week, being a busy working mother of 2. At my heaviest in February I started at ...
