The 20 Best Keto Blogs for 2020

Tweet

So you’ve chosen to try out this whole thing keto thing, but aren’t really sure where to begin?

Keto diets are a great choice for consistent, often quick weight loss.* In a nutshell, ketogenic diets work by forcing your body into ketosis, the physiological state where your liver produces ketones to break down fat instead of carbs. (It’s what we do when our bodies are in survival mode.)

They do that by cutting out sugar and carbs and focusing on healthy fats and protein-based eating instead.

Diet-to-Go’s Keto-Carb30 plan takes the thinking out of it by providing chef-prepared, delicious meals with an average of 30 net carbs per day that are delivered right to your door or available to pick up fresh in many cities.

We want to help set you up for success when you choose to go keto. We rounded up the 20 best keto blogs for 2020 — which offer everything from start guides, to personal journeys from others who have done keto, to recipes and much, much more!

1) Ruled.me by Craig

When Craig founded Ruled.me, his goal was to make a keto approach to weight loss and healthy living as approachable, doable and fun as possible. The website’s goal is to provide keto recipes and useful information that will motivate and applaud you on your weight loss journey. A team of doctors and specialists do just that, with everything from meal plans, tips, resources, diet plans and much, much more.

2) Chocolate Covered Katie by Katie

So you have a sweet tooth? That doesn’t mean you have to derail your keto diet. Enter Katie, a lover of cake, chocolate (obviously) and sharing lower-calorie dessert recipe with millions of readers around the world. Katie has been featured in countless TV shows and magazines (for good reason). Use her recipe index to search for pages and pages of keto-friendly desserts. Plus, her blog includes her personal day-to-day happenings (including an emotional post about her battle with exercise addiction and online bullying.) It’s no surprise she has one of the top-rated blogs on the internet.

Sample Recipe: Keto Ice Cream — Just 4 Ingredients

“I’d hope that what people can get out of my blog is the message it’s important to treat your body kindly; to nourish it with real-food ingredients; to truly enjoy the foods you are eating; and to take in enough calories for the strength and energy to live your best life possible.”

3) Yummy Inspirations by Jolene

Jolene has struggled with an autoimmune disease that has led her to try several different diets, which she shares on her blog.

Her recipe index contains hundreds of tried-and-tested meals that do just that.

More than nine years later, it’s grown to become a go-to place for people seeking keto recipes for themselves and their family. Kelly herself has had quite a journey on her blog.

Kelly has millions of followers and her recipes have been featured in everything from Cooking Light to “The Today Show” to Food Network and more. She also shows readers how to use Sunday meal prepping to take off the pressure for a good meal during the work week, and many of her recipes have a delicious Asian flare.

7) Kirbie’s Cravings by Jennifer (AKA Kirbie)

Jennifer got her nickname “Kirbie” as a child because she was always hungry. What started as a hobby and stress-reliever for Kirbie has since blossomed into a full-time job. At Kirbie’s Cravings are pages and pages of healthy, keto-friendly recipes, food photography, dining out reviews and travel experiences. Her husband, “Mr. K,” also plays a big role in running the blog (think taste-tester, hand model, light holder, those kinds of things). Jennifer has authored two cookbooks and been featured in many a TV show and publication.

She launched it in 2011 as a way to chronicle her recipes and keep in touch with family. When she turned her attention to low-carb and keto meals in January 2012, it quickly took off. Mellissa found that through her recipes, she was able to address a common problem others found while following a low-carb diet: the food was too boring to stay on-track. With her help and weekly keto menu plans, she turned that around and helps tens of thousands of people reach their goals.

Sample Recipe: Keto Salmon with Cranberry Orange Butter

“Knowing that my recipes are helping so many of you reach your goals through low carb eating, really makes me happy. So many of you have had amazing success.”

10) All Day I Dream About Food by Carolyn

She turns common, high-carb recipes into keto-friendly deliciousness — and throws in keto meal plans for good measure.

11) Sugar Free Mom by Brenda

Brenda’s following has grown to become the most popular spot on the web for others looking for sugar-free recipes. That’s because among her catalogues of recipes are not just sugar-free concoctions, but ones for people with allergies who want to follow a low-carb diet and who have dairy or gluten intolerances. Brenda’s three children keep her busy, but she’s managed to balance that with a healthy lifestyle for herself, her family and her devoted followers. Her blog’s latest focus is all things keto and includes recipes, meal plans, detoxes and a one-stop shop for all Brenda’s favorite kitchen tools.

12) Ketogasm by Tasha

It’s hard not to love Tasha’s style from the start. She knows taking on a keto diet can be challenging, which is why her goal is to make it fun (and therefore more doable). Tasha herself struggled with her body — at age 30, she had infertility, PCOS, pre-diabetes, depression and weighed 251 pounds. By embarking on the keto diet, she shed 90 pounds and used a keto diet to provide her body with the proper nutrients to combat her PCOS. Fast-forward to today and she’s the mom of two little ones and found her self-confidence along the way. Tasha believes eating right should be equal parts pleasure and nutrition — and that mindset is evident in every recipe, meal plan and guide you’ll find at “Ketogasm.”

Sample Recipe: Keto Alfredo Sauce

“I’m not a health guru, medical professional, or even someone who claims to have all the answers. I’m just a lady doing keto right along with you. ... I realize flexibility and humility have been vital to my own learning. I hope that is reflected in my writing and helps you keep an open mind as you learn about keto yourself.”

13) Stay Snatched by Brandi

There’s no doubt about it — Brandi loves who she is, and that shines through every single page of her blog. She’s beautiful and intelligent, working as a CPA by day and a recipe developer by night. Brandi grew up as the “skinny girl” for most of her life, but when her metabolism slowed in adulthood, she started to research ways she could maintain her foodie philosophy while still being healthy. She started exercising and developing recipes that were balanced and nutritious, easy to prepare and foodie-approved. Much of her blog focuses on easy, tasty keto recipes that are unique and flavorful.

Sample Recipe: Easy Keto Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

“Everyone has their own personal definition and expectation of what looks good. It’s relative to them. I love the term ‘Snatched.’ It’s a fun way to become motivated and stay fixated on what your goals are.”

14) Headbanger’s Kitchen by Sahil

What’s “Headbanger’s Kitchen?” It’s basically where metal music meets amazing cooking. Sahil is no stranger to cooking — he’s been doing it since he was 12 years old. He started the blog in 2011 with one goal in mind: Share amazing recipes that never skimp on flavor and fun. Recipes have changed over the years, and the current focus is on keto, but you’ll find pretty much anything you’re looking for in the robust indexes and website pages.

Sara’s blog reflects her bright personality — there’s a happy feel to every post and page. Sara’s keto diet approach is a result of years of medical issues. She spent a long time (and lots of money) trying to figure out why she had sleep and GI problems, only to find that going keto made all the difference in the world for her. She believes it can do the same for you — and her blog is the perfect place to find out!
