Jessica Lost 75 Pounds!

January 28, 2017 by Leave a Comment

I began my weight loss journey a couple of years ago. I'm an elementary school teacher and at time time I worked on the second floor of my school. Daily out of breath only half way up, and needing to pull myself the rest of the way. I would grab a Diet Pepsi, my poor attempt at trying to lose weight, and collapse at my desk as I caught my breath. The school was planning a field trip from South Carolina to Washington, D.C. and I volunteered as a teacher chaperon. I bought new shoes to start ...

Low Carb Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes

In the matter of a couple minutes, you can make delicious blueberry ricotta pancakes. This is a great breakfast idea for when you want to make a quick, keto friendly, pancake recipe. These blueberry pancakes are full of flavor with a little touch of sweetness from adding stevia to the batter. I also used almond flour and golden flaxseed meal in the batter to balance out with the ricotta. All you need is a blender to combine the ingredients together. The results from using a blender is a ...

Keto Pound Cake

Keto Pound Cake

January 24, 2017 by 82 Comments

This basic keto pound cake has the perfect blend flavors. It’s just enough lemon and vanilla to add a nice layer of added flavor to this standard cake. Don’t care for lemon extract? Just replace the lemon extract with more vanilla extract, or use another extract. The beauty of this recipe is that it is easily adaptable and you can change the flavors to suit your own tastes. Sometimes I’ll use only vanilla extract in place of lemon, or use butter extract with the vanilla extract. When I’m ...

As of right now, I've lost 62 lbs while on Keto. I'm 6'6" and weighed 353 lbs when I started this journey on May 26th. I got to the point where I was tired of being the weight that I was at and ready to make a change in my life. Thankfully, some of my coworkers were in the same boat so we all pooled some money together & started a weight loss competition. The first month I lost 8.9% of my body weight. I lost to our winner by .2%. We kept at it each month and finally, last month I won ...

I have been following Ruled.me and love the website, meal ideas and tips. I even go back sometimes and re-read as a refresher. The longer you are on a "diet" I find you get lazy in a way and need to go back to the basics. I have been on a keto diet for over a year now and have had amazing progress. Just a little background for you, I have had issues with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) since I was 16, over 10 years. Originally I was having trouble breathing when the acid went into my ...

Twice Baked Potato Style Zucchini

Twice Baked Potato Style Zucchini

January 12, 2017 by 3 Comments

If you love the combination of flavors that make twice baked potatoes so good, then you know that it’s really the filling ingredients that you enjoy so much. The potato itself is just a conduit for getting goodies like sour cream, butter, bacon bits, and cheese into our mouths in a single bite. With a ketogenic diet, it’s OK to have it all as long as you don’t stuff it into a potato. Zucchini makes the perfect low-carb vessel for this heavenly filling. First, crisp up a few strips of ...

Brussels Sprouts with Melted Leeks and Prosciutto

Brussels Sprouts with Melted Leeks and Prosciutto

January 10, 2017 by Leave a Comment

While Brussels sprouts and leeks aren’t what first come to mind when we think of low-carb and ketogenic diet friendly foods, we can incorporate these nutritionally dense foods into the diet on occasion. What it takes is the right combination of ingredients to get the balance of fats, carbs and proteins. Here, we cook the vegetables in a healthy amount of coconut oil, which causes the leeks to almost “melt” into the sprouts, creating a rich silky texture. Topping it off, we splurge on some ...
