Vegan Ketogenic Diet Guide

Have you heard about a vegan ketogenic diet? Is it possible for a vegan to follow a keto diet?

As we know, a vegan only consumes plant-based diet such as kale, potatoes, beans and plant products including tofu, margarine or sunflower oil. Most likely a vegan diet has higher sugar and starch content found in plants.

On the other hand, a keto diet has very low carb content but very high in fat. This is the reason why when you follow this diet your body will utilize the fat stored to keep you going all day.

You can achieve a good ratio of macronutrients if you will consume fibrous low-starch vegetables and fatty animal foods.

What is Vegan Ketogenic Diet?

The information cited above will make you confuse what a vegan ketogenic diet really is. This diet plan does not recommend sugary or starchy plant food, yet encourages you to consume fatty plant foods.

It can be challenging to find plants that are good sources of protein, not to mention the restricted availability of fatty plants.

With this, you need to determine the fatty plants that you should include in your keto diet as well as those plants that are high in protein.

Recommended varieties include almonds, macadamia nuts, pecans and walnuts. Peanuts should be avoided because it contains high amount of carbs. Likewise, peanuts are classified as legumes similar to the family of beans.

  • Greens

A vegan ketogenic diet will require you to consume enough greens to obtain the nutrients on an ordinary vegan diet. Leafy greens that you should include to your ketogenic diet are collard greens, kale, swiss chard, spinach and other from the same family.

Mixing these vegetables with avocados will help you obtain the right vitamin intake that is essential to a low-carb lifestyle.

  • Avocado

If there’s one fruit that can provide healthy fats that would be avocado. Just like tofu, avocado is also versatile as it can be eaten anytime of the day. Likewise, it can be paired with salads, bacon and eggs or even steak.

This is the reason why it is considered as a superfood that can help reduce cholesterol level and prevents cancer.  The nutritional content of 1 avocado includes 4g protein, 17g carbs, 29g fats and 322 calories.

  • Protein

If you want to follow a vegan keto diet, it is recommended to use vegan protein powders that will fuel your body with healthy fat and enough amount of protein.

Acai berries are also recommended as they contain 71% fat, 6% protein and 23% carbs.

Plant sources that are rich in protein in spite of the fact that potatoes are high in carbs, they also contain complete amino acid or protein.

Another plant-based food that is rich in protein is quinoa, hemp seeds and soy beans. Consuming these plant-based foods in your keto diet can help to obtain complete score of amino acid.
