Why the keto-vegan diet? Both vegan and ketogenic diets have health benefits, like weight loss and a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. (Source)
Eating a keto-vegan diet takes some planning, but there is quite a bit of versatility. For vegetarian keto recipes, follow the guide below to substitute vegan options for vegetarian ones.
I recommend doing the keto-vegan diet for 1 week each month.
Those who follow a keto diet, may strive for a 75/20/5 (fat/protein/carb) ratio, but will soon find a ratio that best suits their needs. Purchasing keto salts may aid in subsiding the “keto-flu”.
Below are some links with recipes that you may find appealing. In the beginning, calorie counts are less of consideration and more focus is placed on getting macronutrients (fat/protein/carbs) in the right percentage.
Mobile apps such as Keto Diet, My Fitness Pal, or Fooducate help immensely in tracking your nutrients. (Keto Diet being my favorite for keto meal planners).
