INTRODUCTION

By default, the vegan diet is a diet that rejects any kind of animal products (fish or sea food, dairy, eggs, meats, etc). On the flip side, the ketogenic diet is a low carb, high fat diet which translates the body's metabolism into a ketosis state.

Despite the benefits of the vegan diet, the dieter can often make so many dieting mistakes which have major ramifications on the vegan's health negatively. The vegan rejects animal products and embraces starchy veggies, hydrogenated oils, bread, highly processed meat substitutes, pasta, sugary junks etc, which often results into increased sense of hunger, hormone leptin imbalance, increased bad cholesterol (LDL), drops and spikes of the blood sugar and many more negative health effects. The ketogenic and vegan diets are great sources of healing power and these powers can be harnessed and enjoyed by every vegan, regardless of the obvious dissimilarity between the two diets. The vegan and ketogenic diet can be amended to work well together as a single diet for the benefits of every vegan.

Your body runs on glucose (gotten from dietary carbohydrates) as the main energy source used by all the cells in your body for general body functions. The idea of the ketogenic diet is to reduce the intake of digestible carbohydrates (this excludes dietary fibers) to 20-50grams every day, compelling your body to seek an optional energy source by running on ketones (produced when fat is burned) instead of glucose. The ketogenic diet is known to support natural no starvation loss of weight.

On the vegan ketogenic diet, the integrity of the vegan diet is retained, having all the advantages of the vegan diet, not breaking any vegan principle yet taking advantage of the ketogenic diet to the maximum.

No nutritional info. How can any book claim to be Keto when it doesn’t offer a Macro breakdown.
