Some of the products currently offered by Project Keto on Amazon include:

      • Upgrade MCT Creamer – Available in two different flavor choices, Upgrade MCT Creamer from Project Keto packs 7g MCTs per serving.

Vegan Keto: Is It Possible?

Vegan Keto: Is It Possible?

While most people associate a Keto diet with excessive portions of meat, eggs and other dairy-based items, a mind shift is on the horizon. As the world becomes more conscious about the effects that factory farming has on the environment and the poor conditions that some of these animals may face, shifting to a plant-based lifestyle has become more alluring for many segments of the population. But is it possible to follow a vegan Keto diet and still achieve the same results?  In this article, we will look at what vegan Keto is and some easy ways to get started.

What is Vegan Keto?

Vegan Keto follows the same general rules as a normal Keto diet to get into and maintain ketosis. However, the deviation from a normal Ketogenic meal plan is that you are eliminating all meat and dairy foods from your diet. This deviation means that you will avoid all animal-based foods like dairy, meat and eggs and instead opt for low-carb vegetables, fruits and grains as well as plant-based fat sources like coconut oil, seeds, nuts or avocado.

While it is possible to maintain a vegan Keto diet, the path is far more restrictive than a standard Keto diet. This makes it incredibly hard to follow since the traditional Keto diet already restricts a wide variety of foods that vegans are used to eating like potatoes, beans and other starchy foods. However, studies have shown that staying committed to the diet can make fat loss more successful while also lowering the risk of high blood pressure or the development of type-2 diabetes.

What Can You Eat On Vegan Keto?

When attempting a plant-based approach to Keto, it is important to focus on healthy, whole foods that are high in fat and low in carbohydrates, This includes full fat coconut products, MCT oil, olive oil, avocado oil, cashew cheese and other dairy replacements. Although you may need to meticulously check labels, in the beginning, to ensure no dairy is present and the carbohydrate count is low. Whole avocados and large portions of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and peppers will also be a great addition to your nutritional plan.

Many vegan condiments are also naturally available on the Keto diet like Nutritional yeast, spices, lemon juice and plant-based mayo. These can also be paired with a variety of vegan protein sources like tofu, beyond meat, impossible foods or tempeh, although it is important to avoid processed meats for the best experience possible. While it may seem a little challenging at first, maintaining this lifestyle can become easier with careful planning and the support of the books found in this blog to find what works best for you.
