Ketosis weight loss diet for vegetarians?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I am trying to start a ketosis diet to lose weight but I am a vegetarian. What are some good foods that I could eat? I read egg whites and cheese are good and protein powder, but no nuts. My main protein income is usually nuts and beans. Are beans still ok? And it says to up the fat intake. I only get about 5% of the daily fat as it is and barley lose weight. Uping the fat doens’t make sense.. How would that help me lose weight? I do not want to take meds or anything to induce ketosis.

Beans are too high in carbs to throw you into ketosis (unless you’re hardcore at working out).

Some foods you should stock up on are… (in net carbs)
- Macadamias (1.5 for 12 nuts)
- Yves veg hot dogs (~2 per dog)
- Firm tofu (7/100 g)
- Almonds (2.5 for 23 nuts
- Edamame (10 for 1 cup shelled)

Any hard cheese is fine; just have one thumb sized stick of it max per day. Also, whole eggs are less than 1 carb per egg. Meat analogues tend to be good choices, too, just read the labels carefully.

Fat – the fat satisfies your hunger and keeps up your calories – you’re not trying for starvation. Also, you’re trying to convert from carbs as your energy source to fat burning.
