Vegetarian Keto Diet?

I'm vegetarian and low carb. Yes, you do have to be ok with dairy. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt and some cheese. Nuts are great. I love a variety of vegetables, so incorporating Greek yogurt and cheese into my vegetables works just fine for me.

I do occasionally eat fish mainly because I lift and I really need the protein.

Protein shakes. Or tons of eggs. Dairy is generally not good as your only option for protein while on a ketogenic diet, as it'll be difficult to get enough protein without the milk sugars raising your carbs higher than you'd prefer, in my opinion.

It is so doable! I've been doing it for well over a month. You want yummy protein? Quest bars are your best friend! They are super delicious. I buy them by the box to save money.

My staple diet:
Light Life vegetarian hot dogs (1 carb each, high protein, taste amazing)
Coconut oil for cooking with and making fat bombs (loads of recipes out there)
Atkins chocolate covered peanuts (as a treat)
Almond Milk
cheeeese! Havard is my favorite, also love cheese curds, and white cheddar.
butter, salt and pepper
Eggs
Spinach leaves for salads
olives
celery, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower
and omg pickles.. mm pickles.
Mayo! Mayo with lime is the best.
Avocado dressing
Fake grilled chicken patties or strips. (Any low in carbs)
Almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts
lots and lots of water. I use lots of crystal light and sugar free Hawaiian punch flavoring packets. HP watermelon is my fav.

Sometimes I will use a tiny bit of soy sauce for flavor. I love it with butter.

I have a lot of baking supplies to include almond and coconut powder and psyllium husk powder. There are expensive and not needed, unless you want to make tasty low carb bread or buns.

Oh and cream cheese!
I've been trying to drink less diet soda.. but I do love diet root beer!

Atkins and Russell Stovers gives me horrible gas and other...stuff.. so just a word of warning. The artificial sweeteners they use do not agree with me.. and a lot of others.


Hope this helps someone somewhere.

First of all ,lol at being vegetarian and eating fish,that's not a vegetarian, I think people call is fishtarian or some weird name.
Second, I agree with the rest of people here, I am myself a vegan I doubt I could unless I lived on nuts and protein shakes . Anyone here may have tried though

fishatarian.

lulz. pescatarian.

also but WAI would you do this?

Yo english is not my mother tongue and we don't have that word here you either consume animal flesh or you don't hence vegetarian or non vegetarian.

wasn't laughing AT you- it was just funny.

the" but wai" question was more directed to vegetarian keto- not you LOL

as for the fish thing- some people think fish don't qualify as animal meat- which is beyond me to comprehend- but yes- there is a completely separate term for people who eat no meat other than that of fish. (although- I'm sure many pescatarians eat eggs regularly- my fiance's roommate does)

Ahhh ok ,thanks for making it clear ,yes it's funny lol.
And agree on the fish not qualifying as an animal,why on earth? beats me

I've never heard of a vegetarian wanting to go keto either,like ever in my 32 years of being alive.

i imagine it would involve a lot of eggs (no carbs) and higher-protein milk products (not fluid milk, due to lactose, but perhaps greek yogurt) as well as nuts, protein shakes, whatever. i agree it may be impossible for vegans.
