I recommend looking up vegetarian keto or low-carb recipes, there are tons of them! Actually decreasing my carbs and increasing fat has been a miracle for me! You don't get fat from eating fat. It's the combination of fat AND sugar that is toxic! Having fat with vegetables will give you energy for a long time and you'll loose weight. I've been dieting since age 8 using low fat dogma and I ruined my metabolism. JUst now at the age of 30 I finally understood that fat is not the enemy, I eat lots of fat and I lost 11kg in 2018. And what's best- I enjoy my food and I'm not hungry at all!
I'm not fully keto because I think it's extreme and not practical. I also heard it's not healthy for female hormones. I keep my carbs at about 80-100g a day (some weekends up to 120g but then I decrease my fat intake) and I feel great physically. I eat full fat dairy products without any fear.  Mostly plain or I add berries or cocoa powder into them. I never eat sweet full fat yogurt bought in the store (combination of fat plus sugar is bad).
I have no problem putting cream or even coconut oil in my unsweetened coffee 
At first when I changed my diet I would wake up at night. I solved this problem by having a fat-protein breakfast and eating my healthy carbs for dinner. |
Okay, sorry, too, OP. But are you talking here about
vegetarian keto? I will do some research on this. What you are saying is very interesting. It is impossible for me to stick with low calories and no fat if I am hungry all the time, which I am. Since I was non-vegetarian keto before becoming vegetarian I understand the principles...but I haven't really considered tweaking my diet towards vegetarian keto. Thanks for this. It's kind of awesomely mind blowing!
