Great keto recipe site

I've been eating keto for a number of years, yet every time I get an email from ruled.me I get inspired to try something new. Recommended!

Trusted since 2017

I have used this site and trusted the info in it since 2017 when I started looking into keto. I recommend it to anyone who asks me about keto or a low carb lifestyle. I have my health back; I live medication and mostly pain free because of my change in lifestyle. I find the science relevant, the site easy to use, and the recipes are good.

Has everything in one place

This is my go-to for low carb/keto advice - I have been a 'keto person' since 2017 and the website always has an explanation and solution for my questions.
Don't know why its been rated down?
Maybe it's from all the crazy keto police?
Yes, Keto is controversial.
Yes, it does bring out a few 'different' people - BUT no you do not have to be rude or destructive if you don't agree what another person/website is doing.

This is where I started my journey

This is where I started my journey. Learning about keto completely BEFORE you start is crucial. This site breaks it down to the simplest of explanations to the scientific explanation. It gives you recipes from quick microwave to gourmet type. The support and understanding and nonjudgmental help that is given is like no other site!

So useful!

Ruled.me is a great resource even as the unpaid version. The articles are thorough and informative. But the meal planning within the paid membership is amazing, in my opinion. It is the best meal planning app I’ve used. I like repetition in breakfast and lunch (for ease in prep and to use up ingredients) and this meal plan deals with that brilliantly.

I asked a question through support and it was answered timely, thoroughly and personally by the site’s creator. Very cool, if you ask me.

Ruled.me is an excellent keto resource

Ruled.me is an excellent keto resource. Plenty of good information on everything about living a ketogenic lifestyle. They have great recipes and offer a good meal plan. The only thing I didn't like was that a lot of recipes are formulated for 1 person or just a few servings. So, a little more work was needed on my end to up the serving sizes.

Update: thank you for your reply! I should clarify I use the actual .pdf files I purchased ages ago and printed out. I will check out your app!

Hey Aimee,

Thank you so much for the kind words - I'm so happy that my website has been a good resource for you on your ketogenic journey. Our meal planning app is designed for one person, where each meal is uniquely scaled to fit within your macros in a single-serving capacity.

For more servings, you either can choose to use more leftovers (this will make each meal have multiple servings), or you can increase the number of people you are cooking for in the personalization settings. For example, you can select that you are cooking for 2 people and it will double all of the recipes (and servings of each recipe) in your plan.

If you have any questions or need help setting this up, please send an e-mail to support@ruled.me and I'd be happy to walk you through it!

Update:

Completely understood. The PDF files were pretty limited since they were all set-in-stone and didn't allow for changes to easily be made (to meals or to macros). That was the main reason that we moved toward a meal planning app that allowed for much more customization and personalization.

Best Keto Website

Ruled.me was my go-to when I started Keto. Craig laid everything out in a way I could understand, answered questions I didn't even know I had. The recipes and the macro calculator are resources I still use two years later. Any time anyone asks me about starting keto I always tell them to check out ruled.me!

Long time browser

I've been using the ruled.me website since I started keto 6-7 years ago and the recipes never, ever disappoint! The articles are also great and science based. Back then, ruled.me was the only good source for keto on the Web, and to this day, it remains at the top of my list for good recipes and advices.

Trustworthy and Beautiful Site!

The Ruled.me site is both visually beautiful and informative, providing excellent basic Keto information for beginners as well as what might be needed by the more advanced. Craig’s passion for aiding others who strive to improve the quality of their lives is obvious in all posts he makes.
More importantly to me and many others is that Craig is very responsive to comments and suggestions. I can trust what he publishes on the site and that he has been available to respond to his customers in a pleasant manner that benefits all.
Keto is a very competitive market with more than its share of inaccuracies and falsehoods, yet I can trust that Craig’s content has been researched well, presented in a clear and interesting manner and the photos are so beautiful! Those of us food-obsessed appreciated the time he apparently takes to give us a rich and wonderful experience. Actually, Ruled.me provided the definitive answer I needed regarding sweeteners. Every other online source I looked at left me confused and frustrated. That was what first attracted me to the site – that the information was correct and easy to understand.
Try some of Craig’s recipes, ask him a question, go through the Ruled.me site and see for yourself that the information he provides will help improve your Keto experience (along with simply giving you better nutrition info) and make it fun along the way. I continue to be a fan.

THANK YOU RULED.ME!!! 💗💗💗💗

I am absolutely thrilled with the Ruled.Me website and the NEW APP and it was perfect timing for me when I wanted to get serious about Keto again.
I want to share with you how much Ruled.Me has helped me.
I am a nurse and found out about Ruled.Me from our pharmacist at work about 3 yrs ago. At that time I didn’t know much about Keto at all and I found this website easy to understand and to get started.
I had success instantly in my first days and weeks. I was already dealing with some health issues when I started and unfortunately due to on going issues my Dr wanted to do celiac testing ( my Dr wanted me to eat bread and pasta every day for 2 weeks and I had to have tests done) and it threw me off my routine but I let my family Dr and every Dr and specialist (GI Dr, urologist ) I saw know that I was doing the Keto lifestyle and my Dr was excited for me because she fully believes in the Keto lifestyle and all the benefits and she wanted me to get off sugar. All the other Drs stated that eating the Keto way was absolutely fine and actually a healthy way to eat and was nothing to do with my health issues so I could continue.
Due to my own life issues I couldn’t seem to commit to myself and wasn’t following Keto consistency but dabbled with the recipes from the Ruled.Me website and read the emails I received to keep on learning.
This last year has been so hard for our World and to add to it for me I lost my Gran last March whom I was very close to and after being under a lot of stress at work my health took a turn for the worst and then I hit my highest weight. I was disgusted in myself. I turned 50 in January and was determined so I took the bull by the horns and made a promise to myself that I was going to start putting my health first and my first step was to get serious about doing Keto.
I have looked at many Keto websites etc and I always go back to Ruled.Me because I find it straight forward, easy to follow and informative. I have emailed Craig many times over the years and he is always quick to reply and remembers me. When I made this promise to myself and went to the Ruled.Me website I saw this app and the timing was perfect!!! It was exactly what I needed!! I need structure, I need help calculating my macros (I still struggle to understand that part), I need someone to tell me what to buy, put meal ideas together with my favourite Keto friendly foods and this app does all that for me!!!
It’s personalized to my current weight, my goal, my likes, dislikes, whether I like/want leftovers, my time management for cooking after work etc, how many I am cooking for, and meal replacements if I don’t fancy or feel like a certain food for that meal. It has a thumbs -up option which means it can show up as one of my future meals again. My husband is enjoying all the meals. We now have a routine.... I look at the provided weekly grocery list, order my groceries on line and pick them up after work once a week and then do meal prep on weekends. It is working awesome for us because it helps me prep my lunches for work and leftovers for dinner which is exactly what I need!!
I lost about 12 lbs in my first week and a half and over 11 inches. I am feeling better mentally, emotionally and physically. My fibromyalgia pain is so low I forget I have it and my fatigue has improved where I can work steady through the day without crashing and I feel completely satisfied.
I can’t thank Craig enough for his website and now this app because someone like me who needs structure, guidance, support and just wants someone to tell me what to buy and what to make appreciates this website and app SOOOO much!!!
I have been at my place of work for 12 yrs and my co-workers are starting to notice my weight loss and tell me I am looking good. It seems many at work have COVID fatigue and everyone jokes about the ‘ COVID couch’ but it seems with Spring around the corner everyone is starting to want to ‘get healthy’ and they are asking me what I am doing. I show them my app and how it works and explain that theirs will be personalized to them. They seem impressed and really like the idea of all areas that the app helps with.
I understand that people have to reach a point where they are ready to do this .. just as I did.. but they keep asking me questions and I think they are keeping their eyes on me to see how successful I am.
Honestly I plan to just keep following this ... it’s easy, doable and is perfect for me!! 🥰
I am excited every few days to weigh and even if the scale doesn’t move much it reflects in my inches. My whole body is changing and my clothes are fitting so much better. At the end of the day I know I am eating better and healthier portions. I kind of feel like it’s magic, I know that I have to do the work - follow it, prep and cook but it is fun.
I can’t say it enough, I LOVE THIS APP!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you to Craig for your website, this app and for all your support!!! 💖💖💖💖
I highly recommend Ruled.Me. 😁

No refunds, poor product.

No refunds, poor site, and not a real App, just a web link that you need to log into every time on your phone if you want to use it. I knew within a couple of hours after paying for the product that it was a mistake and tried to get my money back but they don't offer a refund. What a scam, stay very far away.

And as you can see from their reply, is the exact reason you need to stay away from this company. They refuse to give a refund and tell you that their product does exactly what you want it to do when I as the consumer would be the one to know best if it works for me or not.
Any company that has a no refund policy tells you that they don't believe in their own product!
When I was trying to find recipes, their website says they have over 1,000 but I didn't think I saw that many when browsing so I wanted to check for myself and here is what I found. For breakfast there were 65 choices, for lunch 82 and for dinner 99. Some of them looked like the same choices so when I did a quick comparison between breakfast and lunch I found that at least 11 recipes were the same.
I wanted to see what I got for choices if I changed some of my profile parameters and when I asked it to build my recipes for me I got this message "Not enough meals to support your current selection." So I guess depending on who you are they may not have any recipes for you at all, and with no refund policy that isn't a very good use of your money.
As I mentioned I had to log in every time to bring up their so-called app. Well, I was in the grocery store to test out their shopping list function and because there wasn't an internet connection available in the part of the store I was in and I have to log in, I couldn't even bring up the shopping list, again another waste of money.
They say that they have a search function, but it only works if you put in 1 word. Want to search for chicken, ok you get recipes with chicken. Want to search for chicken and broccoli, well it no longer brings up any recipes because it doesn't work for multiple words.
Their responses only reaffirm my above messages that they do not care about customer satisfaction or working on improving their product. I created multiple macros to test it out and found that 1 profile did not give any recipes at all. Their response "because I created multiple macros they have fulfilled their promise." They didn't even read that 1 of them created NO recipes at all.
I tell them that it's not a real app and just a web link that doesn't work if there is no internet connection. Their response "download the PDF" what good is that if I can't access it? I'm out of luck.
Again poorly designed app, which not customer service at all...Stay away from this app, there are free sites that give you more than this.

Hey Paul,

I tried to work on this with you as all of the features you requested are already available. You had contacted me 24 hours after you had subscribed and after making several different meal plans with 3 main contentions:

1. You wanted something that was more family-based.
2. You wanted to browse recipes based on an ingredient.
3. You wanted to share recipes with your wife (as well as create a shopping list based on the recipes you chose)

All 3 of those features are available within the meal planner as explained to you in our e-mail exchange.

1. You can input how many people are being cooked for which will multiply the meals in your plan by however many people you enter.
2. You can browse recipes based on an ingredient, meal timing, meal type, or cuisine. You can use the filter feature to browse by ingredient type (i.e. chicken, beef, vegetarian, etc.) or you can enter those individual ingredients in the search bar to find recipes using those ingredients.
3. You can either save or print the recipes in your plan. A weekly shopping list is also created based on the meals chosen that you can either save or print.

Our app is what's known as a progressive web app, which is allowed to be put in the app/play store and is considered a real app.

I'm very sorry to hear you believe this is a scam, but the meal plans you created are tailored for your macros and fit within your requirements.

To address your update:

We have over 1500 recipes in the meal planner, but not all of them will be able to fit within your required macros or meal preferences.

For example, you have your meal timings set to the minimum possible time, so most baked recipes (like casseroles, pies, and frittatas), soups, instant pot, and slow cooker recipes will not be included in your plan. If you start avoiding main food groups (like dairy, or meat, for example), then fewer recipes will be usable.

Not every recipe can be scaled to fit into the required macros of your profile as well. Some recipes will have different ratios of fat to protein and won't be a good fit for your plan. For example, you have 'Active' selected under your activity level, so your protein requirements are higher than most people on keto - this will disallow the lower protein meals that we have.

Additionally, the surrounding meals make a difference in the available meals. For example, if you choose a higher fat and lower protein breakfast recipe, the lunch and dinner will need to be higher in protein and lower in fat to compensate for this. Depending on the meals you choose, different recipes will be available for the remaining meals.

With all of that considered, an average of 75 meal choices in each category is a good amount of variety, considering your profile and time requirements. You could create over a year's worth of meal plans with that amount of recipes if you are choosing to have some leftovers (which it looks like you do, based on your profile).

There are certain circumstances where meal plans cannot be created (when every food category is avoided - i.e. vegan), or if there's a mistake in the user macros. In the cases where meal plans cannot be generated, we offer refunds to those customers. I do not recommend our meal planner for vegan keto users as we just don't have enough vegan recipes to support a full plan.

As far as the shopping list goes, you can save the shopping list as a PDF file to view any time and without an internet connection. There is a large, blue 'Download' button at the top of the shopping list page that you can always keep for a backup just in case you don't have internet when shopping. You can access the saved PDF shopping list without an internet connection.

Again, I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed but you've already created over 5 meal plans that were specifically scaled to fit your set of macros. Our meal planner is designed with your macros in mind, and I believe based on how many meal plans you've created, we have fulfilled that promise.

Give This A Pass - Better Websites Out There

I bought the 3 month app and right away realized that I didn't like most of the recipes, it was complicated to use, and didn't give me the options to sort that I wanted if I wanted to change a recipe suggestion. Plus it didn't take into account leftovers. I contacted the site right away and was told no refunds. because people could steal the content. Believe me, there isn't content worth stealing. It seems like a scam to me. I did cancel the recurring payment; I hope that works. I have never heard of a no refund policy for something like this, which is very sketchy. It was my fault for not doing my due diligence, so don't make the same mistake. There are much better programs out there for the price.

With our meal planner, you can swap out recipes that you do not like. If a meal plan is generated for you, the meals can be replaced with other meals that fit within your needed macros. You can also avoid meals you don't want so that they don't show up in the future.

Our meal planning app does take into account leftovers. If you are having a plan generated for you, the leftovers are based on the leftover preferences you entered. If you are building a plan yourself, you can select leftovers for any meal (as long as they fit into your needed macros for that day).

I'm not able to locate the ticket(s) you submitted, so I can't comment on your exact situation but I usually offer partial refunds in instances like this. Feel free to contact me at support@ruled.me and I can take a look into it further.
