INTRODUCTION

Why Vegetarian Keto?

Many vegetarians choose to abstain from eating meat, fish and other animal products because of benefits such as improved health and the reduction of the likelihood of certain diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, they also have concerns about the welfare of animals. However, diabetic individuals with similar convictions may have greater challenges sticking to the vegetarian lifestyle because of the high amounts of grains, starchy vegetables and legumes that are eaten on this diet. People with diabetes have to limit their intake of these types of foods and that is why the idea of a vegetarian keto diet is appealing. Furthermore, the high carbohydrate levels in many vegetarian meals lead to excessive weight gain in many individuals.

This is why the vegetarian ketogenic diet has become a viable option. The vegetarian ketogenic diet gives you the combined benefits of two effective dietary lifestyles. The keto lifestyle has been adopted by a large number of people because of the various health benefits it provides – such as healthy weight loss, reduction in inflammation and reduction of the severity of some serious diseases. These benefits are also available to you if you are a vegetarian. Although most keto adherents have to load up on meat and fish to get their daily supply of protein, you don’t have to do this. With a little modification of the foods that you eat, you can encourage your body to go into ketosis regularly and enjoy the benefits of the ketogenic diet while still abstaining from the animal foods that you do not want to eat.

It is important to be aware of the potential health issues of adopting a restrictive diet so you can find a balanced healthy way to follow the vegetarian keto diet. When a diet is too restrictive, there is a high possibility of deficiency in vital nutrients. This is why the vegetarian ketogenic diet is more suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians (those who avoid meat, poultry and seafood but eat dairy and eggs). It is more difficult for vegans and lacto vegetarians to adopt a ketogenic lifestyle.

Vegetarian Keto Diet Tips

1. Limit Carbohydrates

Getting rid of high carb foods is likely to be the greatest challenge for vegetarians switching to keto. Grains especially are a main feature of the vegetarian diet but they are not compliant with the keto diet because of their high level of carbohydrates. Other high carb foods to avoid include starchy vegetables, milk and most fruits.

The carb-laden foods you should avoid are:

Grains – wheat, quinoa, barley, cereal etc.

Legumes – beans, peas, lentils, etc.

Tubers – potato, sweet potatoes, yams, etc.

Fruits – bananas, oranges, apples, etc. Replace with avocado and berries.

Sugar – honey, maple syrup, agave, etc. Replace with low
