What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

August 5, 2017 by 16 Comments

Carbohydrates are generally avoided on a ketogenic diet, but they can be utilized with hard workouts that push your body. If you sit all day and eat refined carbohydrates (like cookies, chips, and candy), your risk of heart disease and diabetes increases dramatically — bad. If you use carbohydrates as a way to fuel intense workouts or replenish your body's depleted energy stores, then you can get the most out of your body without any negative side effects — good. The same principle applies ...

Low Carb Macadamia Nut Brownies

I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

Reverse Seared Ribeye Steak

Reverse Seared Ribeye Steak

April 27, 2015 by 13 Comments

This is by far the best method for tender steak you will ever use. Both my girlfriend and I agreed that this was the best steak we've both ever eaten, be it from a restaurant or at home. It's opened my eyes and I don't think I'll ever be making a steak any other way. The thing I love most about this method is that you don't get any rings on the internal cook of the meat. You don't have half an inch of well-done meat from the hard sear, it's a perfectly rare (or whatever temperature you take ...

During a trip to see the solar eclipse, my wife began researching Keto. I was pretty ambivalent about it until I saw a photograph of myself beside the telescope. On August 21st, I weighed 189 lbs and had been averaging 6.3 A1c. I began following the Keto plan which was not as difficult as I expected it to be. Staying away from carbs left me with plenty of choices and so I never felt deprived. I knew I was losing weight but the real encouragement came 6 weeks after I began. My endocrinologist ...

It is a sophisticated yet simple breakfast that feels like a gourmet ...

Is Peanut Butter Keto? Carbs, Brands & Recipes

September 13, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Yes, peanut butter is keto - as long as you're eating the right kind and keeping your portions reasonable. Two tablespoons of natural peanut butter runs about 6g of net carbs, which fits comfortably inside the 20-30g daily target without blowing your budget on a single snack.That said, not all peanut butter is the same. The stuff with added sugar, honey, or a "low-fat" label is a different product entirely - and those versions can quietly push you out of ketosis if you're not paying attention. ...

My story begins in October of 2017 when my fiance and I were 4 months away from being married. After a short trip back to her hometown and running into her ex-boyfriend, she called off the engagement, moved out, and moved back to Indiana to live happily with him. That was when I was at my heaviest. 217 pounds. I already was in the gym 5 days a week, but my diet consisted of eating healthier but not monitoring macros. After she left, I had to make a change. To live better, not to win her back, ...

I started the ketogenic diet using ruled.me because of the wonderful help I received. Craig gave us detailed info on why it works and how to do change our habits and recipes step-by-step. I followed the diet exactly and started to lose about 4 pounds a week. I hit a plateau at 20 pounds, and emailed Craig. He was very kind to answer my email himself with specific advice. I started losing a little slower this time, but consistently until I reached a loss of 40 pounds. I am half the person ...
