I started my keto journey on Tuesday January 17, 2018. Tuesday was my start because every other diet for the past 20 years was always started on a Monday and I needed this to be completely different. I stepped on the scale and my weight was 250.7 lbs, my start weight and in my mind the highest I would ever be! You see, for years I had dieted, exercised excessively and slowly got sicker and sicker. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2013 and was told by my doctor that he couldn't believe ...

I’m Tracie J I’m 41 years old and live in Eastern NC with my husband of 21 years. I’m originally from upstate NY and have 3 younger sisters. They are MUCH younger, the baby was born when I was 18. Growing up I had a lot of responsibility, caring for my siblings, several house renovations, helping around the house while my parents owned and operated several auto body shops. I grew up very fast, seeing a lot of drugs and domestic violence at a young age. Fast forward, I met my husband in ...

Growing up I was always a little heavy. My mom kept a ton of junk food around the house and let us eat whatever we wanted, but it wasn’t until high school when my weight gain ballooned. In 1 year, I gained 80lbs from a medication I was put on for depression; at 17 I was 230lbs. Since then, nothing I tried could get me down to a healthy weight or keep it that way. I would count calories and macros and exercise 5 days a week, and the weight would go down and back up again even if I didn’t stop ...

Once my daughter was born, I found new motivation to be a healthier father and husband. I wanted to be there for my grandchildren and be healthy enough to retire and travel the world with my family. I have lost 80 pounds in just over 7 months, and I have never felt better. My blood sugar is perfect, and my cholesterol went from dangerously high to within normal ranges for someone my age. Keto has changed my life and I would never go back to the old me! At 22, I had found the love of my life ...

Hello! I started Keto May 1, 2017 in order to gain control of my health. I was dodging a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, HBP, PCOS was out of control, depression, as well as my weight was at an all-time high (228lbs @ 5'3"). Since then I have lost 90+ lbs and have turned my life around. I no longer am suffering the symptoms of my out of control health. Ruled.me was my first and is my favorite resource to send people to when they ask where to get started. I am currently maintaining my weight loss ...

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, ...

As I got ready for a Christmas party in 2018 I had my meltdown. Nothing fit. I had been lying to myself that I wasn’t getting bigger and bigger. I had been working out but eating fast food and bad food and the working out wasn’t working. I was lying to myself. From Christmas 2018 to New Years I did research online and found ruled.me and began my keto lifestyle change on January 4, 2019. I have lost 52 pounds, gone from a size 14 to a 4 and I feel amazing. I’m in the best shape of my life ...

September of 2018 I was weighing over 300 pounds. I got to the point that it was hard for me to even tie my shoelaces...it was uncomfortable to walk and I know I was just getting too big. I stumbled across Keto. Ruled.Me to be exact. When I was trying to find something to get me going...I never knew that it would be so life-changing. I started going low carb near the end of September. Once I got past the initial stages and into Keto, the fat just started falling off! Soon I was to the point I ...

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 ...

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 ...
