What is a Keto Diet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ketogenic diet simply increases your intake of healthy fats and protein while reducing your intake of carbs.<\/p>\n

Basically, glucose is the primary source of fuel but restricting your intake of carbs(glucose) force your body into a state of ketosis<\/strong> where your body starts burning up fats as fuel instead of glucose(sugar).<\/p>\n

A standard keto diet is very meat heavy in order to get you enough fat and keep carbs so low.<\/p>\n

But what about a vegetarian keto diet<\/strong>? Is that even possible as a vegetarian?<\/p>\n

Can vegetarian do the keto diet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I guess for many, it seems like keto diet is only for the meat-only audience.<\/p>\n

But it is not true!<\/p>\n

In fact, It’s much easier than you think to do a keto diet if you’re vegetarian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is to make a few simple food switches and a little effort from your side.<\/p>\n

The Vegetarian Keto Diet<\/strong> should consist of about 40-75 percent of calories from fat, 20-30 percent from protein and just 5-20 percent from carbs.<\/p>\n

You can also easily incorporate keto-friendly and nutritious plant-based vegetarian<\/a> foods into your favorite keto recipes, which makes following a vegetarian keto diet simple.<\/p>\n

However, there are also plenty of other high-fat, plant-based choices available for you to swap out the meat.<\/p>\n

Luckily, cutting meat out of your diet also produces many health benefits. It’s a win-win for you.<\/p>\n

Do you know, you can boost your weight loss efforts by including intermittent fasting<\/a> in your lifestyle. Check out this step by step guide to Intermittent Fasting.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What to eat in Vegetarian Keto Diet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may be wondering what you can actually eat in a low-carb vegetarian diet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A vegetarian keto diet<\/em> should focus on nutritious plant-based sources of healthy fats and protein with a good amount of non-starchy vegetables and high-fiber foods as well.<\/p>\n

You should include plenty of protein foods and healthy fats in your diet. A few examples include eggs, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, nuts, avocados, and MCT oil.<\/p>\n

Vegetarians can easily include non-meat animal foods like eggs, grass-fed butter, nuts, seeds, leafy veggies and ghee to help meet their protein and fat needs.<\/p>\n

But still, there are many ways to ensure you are getting enough protein.<\/p>\n

If you really need to up your protein intake, you can include low carb protein powders<\/a> and plant-based supplements to your vegetarian keto diet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since the diet is super low-carb<\/em>, minimize your intake of foods high in carbs such as refined carbs, starchy vegetables, sugars, and grains.<\/p>\n
