ebook: vegan ketogenic diet

This is a very low carb ketogenic diet with researched health benefits.

Typical vegan version:

Use high quality vegetable protein, which contains no carbohydrates. The best of these proteins is the Gemma Pea Isolate which has a link in the Flexi Diet e-book. Avoid soy protein as there are reported health risks.

Eat as much healthy oil as needed to satiate hunger. These would include extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, and nuts or nut butters. (Peanuts are not a nut).

With nuts and nut butter add the protein to your daily total.

Avoid other vegetable oils as they are too high in omega 6. To get sufficient omega 3 the best is cod liver oil, but as that’s not vegan one could use flax oil.

Eat fibrous vegetables as much as desired but avoid all starchy vegetables such as potatoes. Avoid all grains and other starches, as well as all sugars, syrups etc.

Determine you lean body mass (formulas and calculators are on line) and eat 1 gram of protein per kilogram of lean body mass.

Indeed, it is perfectly feasible to implement a fully vegan ketogenic diet featuring nuts, edamame and other soy products, green salads and low-carb vegetables, salad oil, olives, and avocados; it would be of interest to study the clinical
impact of vegan ketogenic diets. Jenkins and colleagues have reported favorably on the effects of a nonketogenic
reduced carbohydrate plant-based diet, which they dub “eco-Atkins”.50
