IS VEGETARIAN KETO EVEN POSSIBLE?
Most certainly! If a vegetarian diet seems too restrictive to you, a keto menu that is vegetarian or even vegan may work for you. The only difference is that you can still eat both dairy products and eggs.
On a vegan and ketogenic diet, you are restrained in what you can eat and you definitely have to be more imaginative with your recipes and ingredients.
Here is a brief summary of some of the foods you can eat, in my next blog post I will review some of the meals I prepared during my 3 week keto experiment.
Low-carb vegetables: dark green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, pepper
Nuts and seeds: macadamia nuts, nuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, cashew, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds.
Vegetable protein: tofu, tempeh
Fruits: berries, coconut and avocado
Fats: oils such as olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil, olives, peanut butter
Coffee, tea and sugar-free drinks.
Milks: sugar-free vegetable milks
Sugar-free sweeteners (stevia and erythritol)
