Vegan Keto Diet

The Vegan Keto Diet follows the 70% fats, 25% proteins and 5% carbohydrates guideline of a ketogenic (keto) diet. In this diet, there are no animal products such as meat, poultry, dairy and eggs. Seafood such as fish and prawns are also excluded. This is strictly a vegan diet and the ingredients are plant-based.
In the Vegan Keto Diet, fat sources will come from plant-based oil or fats such as avocado oil, extra-virgin olive oil, grape-seed oil, coconut oil, vegan cheeses, nut butters, nuts and seeds. Protein sources will be from soy based products such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, vegan meat or burgers, nuts and seeds. Carbohydrates or carbs can be found in a lot of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
Your kitchen will be filled mostly with healthy plant-based food such as lettuce, zucchini, cucumber, tomato, avocado, kale, spinach, artichoke, bok choy, kale, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, lentils, bell pepper, chives, carrot, Brussel sprout, bean sprout, eggplant, mushroom, okra, sugar snap peas, seaweed (nori or kombu), kimchi, coconut, etc. Fruit berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries and boysenberries are recommended in this diet. Nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, pine nuts and walnuts are also part of the diet. Use herbs, spices and seasonings that you prefer such as parsley, oregano, thyme, turmeric, curry powder or paste, miso soup paste, mushroom seasoning powder or vegetable seasoning powder. Use lemon or lime juice with yogurt, a healthy oil or vegan mayonnaise to make salad dressings or buy ready-made vegan dressings from the supermarket.
The 7 days Vegan Keto meal plans cater to busy individuals. Hence, the meal plans are carefully planned to cut down on the preparation time especially during the weekdays/weeknights. Simple preparation and cooking will be done during weeknights. During weeknights especially Monday – Thursday, after a long day at work, the priority is to have a nutritious meal ready in the shortest time possible. Extra cooking/baking and preparations are all done on Sunday. This is necessary to make life easier the following week (Monday – Saturday).

Feel free to change or tweak the recipes in the Vegan Keto Diet according to your preferences and to whatever ingredients you have in your kitchen. There is no right or wrong way to cook if the food tastes great and it is healthy at the same time. Although there are many types of ingredients available to cook with as mentioned above, the recipes in this app use less types/variaties to cook with. This is to avoid wastage and it will not bust your budget having to buy so many ingredients. Buy fresh ingredients that are on sale or in season and used them up within a week.
