My name is Lucas. I've taken 37 trips around the Sun. I am the husband to a wonderful homemaking wife who educates our 10 children at home. We live in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina where I serve as a Detective at our Sheriff's Office. We are a very active family and love to homestead and be adventurous. Over the years my ability to keep up with the kids and do the things I have always loved slowly became harder and harder due to excess weight gains. I went from being a ...

Hello! My keto journey started in June 2016, but the research started long before that back in April 2016. I took 2-3 months to study and research the ketogenic diet to understand the "rules of the road", meal planning, success stories and all of the ins and outs. I was on a macro counting diet prior to this WOE and I was eating six times a day. The first two weeks, I made a SUPER slow transition as I was just getting used to eating less often and how my meals were planned, ultimately I wish ...

Hello my dear fellow keto community. My name is Karla Ugarte and I am a 45 year old elementary teacher from Hidalgo, Texas. All my life I have been morbidly obese since I was a toddler. I used to be in tons of diets all the time. I took many weight loss medications that only made my problem worse and make me gain more pounds every time I failed. I always felt that nothing would ever work for me and felt very miserable, depressed and tired all the time. After I got married I developed more ...

Lost 30 pounds on keto! I also stopped taking ADHD and depression medication after doing keto. My brain functioned much more efficiently and I had a lot of energy and wasn't so lazy and tired all the time. It's the only diet I recommend, and I've tried a lot of them. 1. What tactics did you employ to help you get to your goal? What did you find helped you get to your goals best? I started by doing a lot of reading and research. I looked at YouTube videos, RuledMe, Pinterest ...

I had tried low-fat, I had tried Atkins, slim fast, weight watchers, even the South Beach diet, every fad diet you can think of, to varying degrees of success. Not one took the weight off and kept it off. I heard about Keto, and it was so counterintuitive to everything I’d ever been taught. Cheese? Sour cream?? Ranch dressing?!? There was no way it could work. Fat makes you fat right? WRONG!!!! So wrong! I lost 73lbs and haven’t stopped yet. I no longer have knee issues, I can run for the ...

In March I went to for my annual checkup at the doctor. Up until then every time I had went, my Doctor always said Joe you are a big guy but you are healthy. This time was different. I had crossed the 300-pound mark and my blood pressure had shot through the roof. She told me I would have to go on medication to control it. I asked her if there was anything else I could do and she said that I could eat 5 servings a day of fruit or lose weight. So, she wrote me a script for some blood pressure ...

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 ...

I had reached a point where I was developing health concerns like IBS and chronic fatigue. I was in denial that it could be a result of my weight. I truly did not see myself as big as I was. I friend forwarded some pics from a birthday we attended. I was appalled! I saw a documentary about a food revolution and a return to natural eating so I thought, ‘what do I have to lose?’ As it turns out, I had 55+lbs of fat and some health issues that I lost by following a Keto lifestyle. The pictures ...

I started keto July 11, 2016. I completed Craig’s 30 day plan- twice- and lost 25 lbs. I have successfully lost 70lbs in total since then. I stated as a size 18 and now I am a healthy size 10. I sleep better, have less gastric issues, more energy and a whole new way of eating. My life has been changed and I’m so grateful to Craig and his generosity of the free information on Ruled.me. It has been my bible and I have shared this with whomever will listen!! 1. What tactics did you ...
