@@melanatedtell-a-visionnjh6999 I have a few vegan keto books to guide me. Yes, it is a limiting diet but I have adjusted. Have a look at them on Amazon, there are quite a few.
Greetings! I am a new subscriber and I have been searching for a channel focusing on vegan keto. I have been vegan or vegetarian for about 45 years now, but I'm currently going through weight gain and just overall yuckiness! So really, I just want to feel better. Thanks for being there! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
I love you!!! The second you said jumps I knew you were a ballet dancer 😅 because I also noticed how, especially after this lock down and eating only crap and putting on some 6 extra kg, it has shifted my center of gravity making jumps very heavy and harder to control. I also love how you're not stressig about this!! When I first went vegan I also went mental and after about 9 months I was just exhausted of constantly looking out for everything and now after 7 days of fasting and feeling great! Even survived a ridiculously intense ballet class I feel really good in ketosis so I'm planning to go keto vegan which also seems to make my autism symptoms much milder! Thank you so much for this input its exactly what I was looking for and what I imagined it would work for me as well, since a "clasic keto diet" of 90% fat just sounds unreasonable for me so it seems like you're also at around the borderline between keto and carbs and keeping it in the keto realm which is what I'm hoping for as well! I also love how you seem very in tune with your body and also I can assume that as a dancer you know your body really well and with the aid of a scale you're pretty exact. I don't know if this is related to anything but during this fast and being in deep keto I have much more flexibility which I love and while I seem like I've lost a bit of strength it definitely seems like the precision has increased. I'm really looking forward to starting this vegan keto, it might just be the lone diet I've been looking for forever! I definitely want to do intermitent fasting as well so I'm a bit worried about how to take in 3000-3800 cal within a 6 hours eating period especially since breaking a fast should be done gently. I used to make whole grain sourdough bred toast for breakfast and that just knocked me out at lunch time and I just needed a nap, but with a protein shake seemed to work fine. Can't wait to see your recipes. PS you're literally the only person I've ever instantly subscribed to within minutes of watching the video. I just love how you're clearly not doing this out of comercial reasons and know what you're talking about! Also love how you're not trying to impose your choices onto others! But just doing this reasonably and because it's how your feel best.
I've only been vegan for two months, and just started a keto vegan diet. This video assures me I'm doing the right thing and your advice is incredibly useful. Thank you
All this Keto jargon has always just fallen on deaf ears with me in the past and I didn't ever thoroughly "get it" (well I didn't exactly try to 'Get it' if I'm honest). I found and followed your channel for the 'Vegan vibe & recipes'. But I had this Keto Video playing in the background the other day having received the 'New Video' notification, then found myself rewinding a couple times when my ears picked up with how you were explaining points & scenarios personally applicable to you. NOW I get it!! I understand Keto now. Thanks for a solid - friendly - explanation Fan! Im gonna try it (As I'm always on a roller coaster ride of crashing after meals [Bread/Rice/Carbs-majority] & feeling brain foggy - even though my GP(s) year after year have tested my blood over and over and Im absolutely NOT Diabetic or hypoglycemic). - So worth a try, Happy Keto'ing!
Thank you so so much, from the bottom of my heart!!! I greatly appreciate this video. Its been about 5 months since I've become a vegan. I've transitioned over from a keto diet to plant-based. Was doing keto for the past 3 years, with intermittent fasting. Since this transition, I've gained tons of weight. But what I can tell you about my experience is that I feel healthier than ever before, my body and skin is flourishing. I've now also started doing a vegan keto diet. Which has not been too bad for the past 2 weeks or so:? Thank you for being realistic and for sharing your experience with us all.This made me feel more connected, as I've gone through so many changes myself. I love your advice on the keto lifestyle!! I really hope that I can find a balance between fitness, and my vegan- keto lifestyle. YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME:-)
Well done for embarking on the keto vegan journey. I'm here to support you all. Look out for my recipes, they'll make your keto vegan life easier, and more fun! x
I am exploring the idea of Vegan Keto, for a short term. I came across this video as I didn’t know how it would work. Really good, clear advice and candid sharing of the experience. Thank you!
Very, very good video for beginners! I have been Keto a while and am not vegan but predominantly get my carbs from veggies. I agree with absolutely everything you said 👏🏼
I had to listen to this video again because you touch on so many important factors to be mindful of during our Keto journey and lifestyle. Thank you again.
Hello dear, thank you so much for sharing this!! I am 51 Years old and learn so much from your Videos! Love your mental streangth and your voice :) hope to see you soon back with a new video, Keto, Vegan or Yoga, what ever. I wish you all the best for your Yoga training, the way you speak about Yoga is heart opening. Lots of greetings from Basel, Switzerland!
Love your vegan keto videos, please keep making them, they are very helpful and it’s great to watch them for learning ideas and for inspiration. I will keep coming back for more! Thank you for sharing!
I started to try to transition into being fully vegan I was doing keto and it worked so good for me. I just learnt that their is such a thing as keto vegan and OMG I looked it up and you popped out and in so glad I click on your video! You are super informative I love it I subscribe right away!
Very level and informative. The perfect person to find as im just about to try this. 10 years, veggie, 2 vegan, all organic, all conscious, yet still suffer with 30 years of psoriasis. So great to hear your experience with that honest stroke at the end. That is what has done it for me. There is always such a battle i involve myself in, and for someone to be as you were, it reflected exactly what i needed to hear in order to feel good about trying this, instead of insistent, or desperate. Thanks
Low Vitamin D is an odd thing my husband is a contractor in Southern California, we live in the high desert and literally get about 300 days of sunshine. He is tan, and not vegan, but his vitamin D was tested and extremely low. That tells me there could be some genetic reason why people are not metabolizing Vitamin D. His genetics are primary English, Welsh origin. So might be something to that.
Can I ask you a question? It is probably a Yoga question. I have to set it up. Several years ago I read about a Chinese man who died in 1931 and was 255 years old. He served under three different emperors and current emperor at the time he passed, had commissioned a study and verified his age. He was a martial arts warrior and a master herbalist. He was married many times. He was interviewed by the western press. They asked him for his secret. One time he said "goji berries". Another time he said "I conquered inner peace" There are several books written about him. He was a strict vegan except for one thing. About once a month he went to the Yellow River, first built a fire and then caught a fish. He quickly cooked and ate that fish -- like immediately. He spent a lot of time hiking through remote mountains by himself collecting herbs, which he then sold -- and of course he consumed some while hiking around. So my point is that what he did is not very well documented. I have spent some time studying the historical record of what people like him were doing at that time. In essence he was doing KETO, some special martial arts/youga exercises, and maybe was drinking a special slightly alcoholic Kombucha Tea made from goji. So here is my question. From your Yoga experience, do you have any idea what he meant when he said "I conquered inner peace?" I really relate to what you have have been saying. I am lazy too. Not intellectually lazy, don't want to waste my time with personal bureaucracy. We definitely are in the unknown "ignorance" territory when it comes to keto. Keto is generally introduced as an over simplified "bio hack". In practice it can be quite complicated but the simplified version works for some people in their 20's. Seriously, many people with known health problems should only be doing it under a doctor's supervision. If you are brave enough to do it by yourself, I think it is more important to learn how to listen to your body and think about what is going on than to count your macros. I think your attitude is right on. To me Keto is not a hack but a very important evolving life style -- currently an adventure. There is an awful lot that we don't know yet. The main thing I have found out by listening to my body is that our standard diet is missing some stuff. It is quite possible, we have been doing it wrong for thousands of years. For one thing, it is not just that we are eating too much high glycemic carbs, we are only getting 10% of the resistant starches we, and our inner probiotic "biodome" need. We should mostly be consuming a lot more Omega3 oils, and resistant starches. Omega3 used to be in the foods our ancestors ate. By listening to my body I learned that Leaf Protein Concentrate digests in one tenth the time, with much less metabolic effort, and provides better building block amino acids, than animal protein. And by also eating practically no carbs and a lot of resistant starch -- I find I go into keto at night quite easily. If I fall off the wagon, it does not take days but hours to recover. But I have also learned that we are all dehydrated. Even though we drink lots of water, we are dehydrated. All that water just passes through us. It does some good but isn't getting into our cells -- not enough of it. Water is not being carried along our facia to the cells (this is a new discovery that explains some things having to do with yoga and acupuncture) but that is not all. Our cell walls are supposed to be made from omega3, but they are not -- our cells had to use whatever has been provided, and this is limiting what gets into and out of the cells. All people share pretty much the same biological clock. Keto takes place at midnight in our sleep, if our diet allows it. I believe Keto is our natural and normal state. God bless you.
Colin Kelley Asian culture overall sees inner peace different than we do in the West I think. I have peace through Christ. (I do have to fight w my earthly flesh many times but I still have Him there to help me) He gave me my soul and spirit to begin with, so seeking Him is just more natural.
@@LilCraftyNook I have Jesus too. The Bible refers to it as "The peace that passes understanding." You and I both know what it is talking about. God Bless. Thank you for sharing.
your keto flatbread brought me to your channel. I still haven't make one yet (IM still waiting for the psyllium husk powder in the mail :(, One thing I noticed about you is your honesty. Finally a real human in the web. You are true. Thank you for being genuine.
Thank you! Your video was like a light at the end of my keto diet questions loooooong tunel! I identify myself with you so much! I have been trying to understand this diet but I am struggling, I confess, especially because I am lazy and I cannot keep preparing meals for the whole week, which I found boring just like you. Also, I contoll my weight every morning and I can understand how my body responds to what I eat, which helps a lot. I totally agree with you about physical exercise, and I feel much better after a daily session of 40-mins to 1hr. I tend to be depressed when I don't exercise for more than 2 days. Just like you, I live in UK and my vitamin D is sometimes too low, and I need a boost dosage to put the levels up. I am pleased that I found your chanel and I will check your products on Amazon. Thank you so much!
Good to see another relaxed ketoer. For me it's more about getting my body to the most balanced state so it does what it suppose to do. Less work for me the better :)
Yes, being aware of your body and what it’s telling you is a good easy way of tracking health and well being. Body happiness is important and exercise is also key👍
You are totally sensible about this diet.. This is my third year on keto diet... and what you have mentioned ..are very much the precautionary steps that should be taken ..to keep your weight down and your body healthy..
Ahhh it was at Yoga I tore my meniscus ... Which has left me almost completely unable to do any other exercise !! A high percentage of people in the UK are very deficient in Vit D, regardless of our diet... It's NOT a Vegan problem... However, many GP's are no longer allowed to check Vit D levels ... The shareholders of PCN's don't think it's cost effective...!!
Such an honest and beautiful video. There are long term studies on keto- its been used for decades to cure people suffering with epilepsy. But it is true that i havent seen studies specifically on a long term vegan keto diet
Love your channel; I am kero; not completely vegetarian; but can always get more vegetables in diet. You are so common sense about kero diet; sometimes people make it so complicated. Basic Kero is very simple; do the research. Good 👍 on whatever diet journey you are on!!!!!!
For a more accurate way of tracking one's level of ketosis, the gold standard is using blood ketone strips. The strips are not cheap but it only takes one or two tests per week to see progress or lack thereof. As you said it can take months to reach fat adaptation and to be able recognize a level of progress without testing.
JUST FOUND YOU, SO INFORMATIVE AND NOT THE TYPICAL BOBBLE HEADED VALLEY GIRLS WANNABE'S ON THE OTHER CHANNELS...THANKS SO MUCH WISHING YOU LOTS OF SUPSCRIBERS, GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you so very much for your highly balance minded video. I'm looking into keto vegan because I was vegan for 6 years and I felt like the incredible hulk physically. Awesome health. Fibromyalia DISAPPEARED. NEVER HAD ENERGY IN MY WHOLE LIFE LIKE I DID AS A VEGAN!! For convenience sake in a relationship I forfeited my vegan diet and began eating meat again. Right about that time I signed up with a new PC who did my physical and my D levels B12, bones.. everything was fine (still at Vegan levels) until at that same time I began eating meat for the next 5 years until 5 days ago. ( In just 5 days I feel a great improvement). While a carnivore for 5 years my health began to decline to some serious low levels unbeknownst to me. While my new PC was investigating my B12 and D she reported that my B12 was down around 200 from 400 and my D2 was seriously low, I don't recall the number. Regardless of the levels they were so low that it was causing me dementia symptoms and physical mobility disability, irreversible neurologic damage. The question has arisen that why if I was eating plenty of meat and been outdoors a lot WHY had my B12 dropped so low? They are now investigating whether I have no intrinsic factor or some other metabolic reason. Our body requires many hormones to process our nutrients and going through menopause many women lose their ability to absorb especially these critical vitamins like D and B12. I'm afraid the vegagan diet wrongly recieves the blame for these things because they seemed to run higher in women and the connection is never made that it is a hormonal problem due to menopause and peri menopause. These deficiencies can cause Pernicious anemia, like my elderly friend is battling and these hormonal imbalances can cause what is known as hormonal anxiety (panic attacks, night terrors, insomnia and so much more!) and it is little known. Women get put on Anti-depressants, which further their deficiencies, when it's really the inability of their body to make use of nutrients because their hormones are out of balance. I now have to take shots for B12 (1x/month with possible increase after next check up) because suppliments do not absorb into my blood cell, they flood my blood stream and I have to take a D2 supliment (once a week 1.25 mg). Since I had no deficiency while vegan but I developed a deficiency while eating meat I intend to go back to being The Incredible Vegan Hulk (possibly keto vegan) to the best of my ability. I like your advice to see how your body does on certain things because everybody has a different activity level stress level and chemistry so I want to try keto-vegan and see how it goes. I always find the longer I go between meals the more clarity I have mentally until the Omnivore sugars dropped. Looking forward to more of your sound-minded videos and feeling better.
Your perspective is refreshing to say the least! I agree that some prepping methods can damage the integrity of the foods by cutting. I like to have a basic meal plan that lends itself to flexibility. I do try to list possible recipes for the week, based on what I have on hand. Some meals I am just plain looking forward to, like Shrimp Scampi! Weighing myself every morning is a good idea. I'm new to Keto and plan to watch the carbs carefully and greatly reduce sugar intake. Unlike yourself, I plan to have a higher percentage of meat VS vegetarian dishes, but there will be both. I could give up meat, but not fish. Thank you for sharing your one year Keto anniversary. I very much like your approach!
Good job you listened to your body and found you had vitamin D deficiency and have addressed the problem. Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in our body to keep our bones and muscles healthy. It also helps support our immune system. So glad you are feeling much better. Thanks again for sharing your keto experience. Lots of love XX
Just beginning the video and going through the reviews. I have been a vegetarian over 6/7 years, have MS and was diagnosed with extremely low vitamin D. My neurologist told me to take 6,000 IU's a day and to eat fortified foods.
Thanks for the video.Im already practicing a ketogenic diet. Now looking to vegan.Im equally lazy and have a lot of similarities...not measuring ketons Etc. 😂😂😂. Very nice accent and very nice and calm voice.🙏
Thank You so so much, all You said was very informative and useful, I really like your point of view on nutrition and exercise. You give Yourself so much freedom, which is what most diets and routines miss out completely. Subscribed, bless You. ❤️
I didn’t actually realize initially that you were vegan but that’s awesome - I plan on giving this information to my son who is also vegan. I do include eggs, dairy and pasture raised, grass fed, humanely killed beef on occasion as well chicken and I do eat wild caught fish. Sorry - I wish I could switch over completely and hey - now I have some more choices!
I like to prep tofu and tempeh and have it ready. Do you use miso? I like your channel and enjoy the content. I only eat meat like fish a few times per week. I have cut back on wine and plan on using alcohol only socially within moderation...this is hard for me sometimes. Have a great week!
I very much appreciated your balanced view of keto which I share... maybe I’m lazy too but as an older person who loves to cook with fresh wholesome ingredients that I buy from wonderful fresh local markets in Sicily are important to me and guide my choices of meals. I want to be able to eat tasty great food and care for my body! Thanks again for all your great insights and recipes ... I’m making the focaccia now!! ❤️❤️❤️
Best exercise is no exercise. Be active and move. Parkour is also great as moving in the environment that your currently in and movements are what you did as a child but stopped doing.
You are talking shit. Best exercise is high intensity exercise, it's scientifically proven. Being generally active is only better than doing nothing al all.
Keto with eggs and some animal products like salmon even once a week gives you lots of vitamin D. I don't like to eat a lot of meet but I eat organic pasture raised eggs and fish and my Vitamin D levels have really come up. I was also on prescription Vitamin D for several months and now I take a supplement every day with my eggs and fish and my levels are fine. I love your channel.
Yes Vitamin D deficiency is quite widespread even amongst people who live in warm sunny climate. I'd highly recommend supplements. It has made such difference in my energy level.
Im am on regular keto with plants 50% and meats/eggs 50%. Either carnívore or vegan are too restrictive for my body cravings goes up. But on vegan keto i lose weight fast at least.
That's not a London accent. Sounds like a cross between SA and Hong Kong. You don't say Ds and Rs.Today I did a 5 min headstand and 15 minute handstand. You can be amazed at what you can do if you don't give up. I didn't like the worship part at the end of yoga classes. Try NMN. It's not a vitamin. It promotes production of NAD, the precursor of cell rejuvenation.
I am a night shift ICU nurse and I know without even checking that my Vit D and K-2 are very low because I have very little exposure to the sun. I also have a very narrow esophagus and it is difficult for me to swallow pills. Are you aware of an easy to swallow Vit. D pills? I would love to get a powder form but all the health food stores I have been in do not have the Vit. D in the powder form. Any suggestions? Very good video here. I love the tips as to what is most important in the Keto life style. I don't weigh myself everyday because I am like the ostradge with the head in the sand; if I don't see it it's not there. But I agree weighing everyday is essenstial to knowing what is working and what isn't working in my diet . I can tell you this for sure that there is a huge difference in my cognitive status as compared to pre-keto living. I read faster, I retain information more easily, and I don't get the brain fatigue I use to get , as in, if I put one more piece of information into my head I will implode.
Liquid D3 is a great idea. I can down 5 pills at a time so never had problems :)) The D3 I'm taking is prescribed by my GP which contains 20,000IU per capsule, I take 2 a week. I think if you know your D3 is very low it might be better to have the blood test and get a prescribed dosage. Normal D3 supplements you get from shops can only get up to 4000IU. It makes such a difference in terms of lifting my mood and energy.
To anyone who has trouble swallowing pills, it does helps if you take a gulp or two of water FIRST to lubricate your throat, and THEN take the pill with some water.
What are your thoughts on "Beans & Rice" as a Protein source? BTW: I just started Keto as a Vegan, and I was so happy you mentioned the "metallic taste in your mouth", because I was doing intermittent fasting, noticed that taste, and was worried about it. Thanks! (New Sub)
although i don't believe in veganism. I'm plant base very moderate wild protein to set the record strait. i agree with your philosophy and obviously it works for you. keep on putting up great videos. and dr fung and ms. Ramos are great
1) You're cute, 2) I love the way you talk, 3) I love that you're a vegan, and 4) I think I might have said this previously, but you look like Sigourney Weaver.
Coming from someone who generally snacks throughout the day between meals, eating one meal a day sounds so foreign! (Tho you said somedays that’s two meals - more achieveable for sure)
thanks for sharing. i would highly recommend going and watching Thomas DeLauer he went keto vegan for 2 weeks he is a smart guy just go to his channel do a search vegan. he goes into the science of thinks i find it informative even if i don't always understand the science. lol take care of i liked the wraps thanks.
Thank you for the recommendation, I had a look at the results video. He's done well, as the transition would be much harder for a non-vegan. Two weeks may be a bit short to come to meaningful conclusions but I commend him for the attempt. Though his point on protein may be slightly misled, it's now known that the amount of protein human body needs to sustain healthy muscle mass is grossly over-estimated. But I guess this guy works out a lot and he's also sponsored by protein powder company has something to do with it ;) It was interesting nevertheless.
My vitamin D analysis also came back very low, below 20. What dosage your doctor prescribed to you? How long did it take to raise it? And what is your current D dose and form?
'I'm lazy' lol, fair enough 😏. You make some good points. I'm not sure about vitamin d deficiency being a keto thing though. Many, many people are deficient in this vitamin (especially in UK), most of whom aren't doing a keto diet. I think as you pointed out, people's fear of skin cancer has a lot of us covering up (when we actually get some sun, lol) which obviously doesn't help. I tried a raw vegan diet a few years ago and ended up quite ill. I never even thought about vitamin D (always good to do your research before undertaking extreme diets!) I was focusing more on iron and B12. So as a matter of interest, where do you get your B12 from? Thanks.
Yes I think particularly women are prone to vitamin D deficiency. I was just shocked by how low mine was. With B12 I'm not entirely sure. I have taken B12 supplements in the past but not consistently so I expected some deficiency, but surprisingly it came out quite normal. But going forward I think I'll start taking it again. But also it's about minimising to the essential ones so you don't end up popping tons of pills everyday :))
@@HeavenlyFan Thanks for your response. Apparently, you need to be careful with b12 blood tests as they aren't always accurate, unless you are severely deficient. They show what's in the blood but not what we are utilising as some of us don't absorb it very well. And no, who wants to be taking handfuls of vits & minerals! 😏
I would love love love to learn how to eat with enough protein without meat or grains since I don’t love meat and grains are hard on me I don’t digest well. Not sure there’s any options for me.it steadier to keep weight off then lose it for me. I also don’t process fats super well. Ugh 😩 I’m notorious for under eating

I started to try to transition into being fully vegan I was doing keto and it worked so good for me. I just learnt that their is such a thing as keto vegan and OMG I looked it up and you popped out and in so glad I click on your video! You are super informative I love it I subscribe right away!
Yes I’m binge watching your channel but I’m LEARNING so much,many thanks!
Very level and informative. The perfect person to find as im just about to try this. 10 years, veggie, 2 vegan, all organic, all conscious, yet still suffer with 30 years of psoriasis. So great to hear your experience with that honest stroke at the end. That is what has done it for me. There is always such a battle i involve myself in, and for someone to be as you were, it reflected exactly what i needed to hear in order to feel good about trying this, instead of insistent, or desperate. Thanks
Low Vitamin D is an odd thing my husband is a contractor in Southern California, we live in the high desert and literally get about 300 days of sunshine. He is tan, and not vegan, but his vitamin D was tested and extremely low. That tells me there could be some genetic reason why people are not metabolizing Vitamin D. His genetics are primary English, Welsh origin. So might be something to that.
Thank you for the useful info. BTW I like your British accent. ☺
Can I ask you a question? It is probably a Yoga question. I have to set it up. Several years ago I read about a Chinese man who died in 1931 and was 255 years old. He served under three different emperors and current emperor at the time he passed, had commissioned a study and verified his age. He was a martial arts warrior and a master herbalist. He was married many times. He was interviewed by the western press. They asked him for his secret. One time he said "goji berries". Another time he said "I conquered inner peace" There are several books written about him. He was a strict vegan except for one thing. About once a month he went to the Yellow River, first built a fire and then caught a fish. He quickly cooked and ate that fish -- like immediately. He spent a lot of time hiking through remote mountains by himself collecting herbs, which he then sold -- and of course he consumed some while hiking around. So my point is that what he did is not very well documented. I have spent some time studying the historical record of what people like him were doing at that time. In essence he was doing KETO, some special martial arts/youga exercises, and maybe was drinking a special slightly alcoholic Kombucha Tea made from goji.
So here is my question. From your Yoga experience, do you have any idea what he meant when he said "I conquered inner peace?"
I really relate to what you have have been saying. I am lazy too. Not intellectually lazy, don't want to waste my time with personal bureaucracy. We definitely are in the unknown "ignorance" territory when it comes to keto. Keto is generally introduced as an over simplified "bio hack". In practice it can be quite complicated but the simplified version works for some people in their 20's. Seriously, many people with known health problems should only be doing it under a doctor's supervision. If you are brave enough to do it by yourself, I think it is more important to learn how to listen to your body and think about what is going on than to count your macros. I think your attitude is right on. To me Keto is not a hack but a very important evolving life style -- currently an adventure. There is an awful lot that we don't know yet. The main thing I have found out by listening to my body is that our standard diet is missing some stuff. It is quite possible, we have been doing it wrong for thousands of years. For one thing, it is not just that we are eating too much high glycemic carbs, we are only getting 10% of the resistant starches we, and our inner probiotic "biodome" need. We should mostly be consuming a lot more Omega3 oils, and resistant starches. Omega3 used to be in the foods our ancestors ate. By listening to my body I learned that Leaf Protein Concentrate digests in one tenth the time, with much less metabolic effort, and provides better building block amino acids, than animal protein. And by also eating practically no carbs and a lot of resistant starch -- I find I go into keto at night quite easily. If I fall off the wagon, it does not take days but hours to recover.
But I have also learned that we are all dehydrated. Even though we drink lots of water, we are dehydrated. All that water just passes through us. It does some good but isn't getting into our cells -- not enough of it. Water is not being carried along our facia to the cells (this is a new discovery that explains some things having to do with yoga and acupuncture) but that is not all. Our cell walls are supposed to be made from omega3, but they are not -- our cells had to use whatever has been provided, and this is limiting what gets into and out of the cells. All people share pretty much the same biological clock. Keto takes place at midnight in our sleep, if our diet allows it. I believe Keto is our natural and normal state. God bless you.
Colin Kelley Asian culture overall sees inner peace different than we do in the West I think. I have peace through Christ. (I do have to fight w my earthly flesh many times but I still have Him there to help me) He gave me my soul and spirit to begin with, so seeking Him is just more natural.
@@LilCraftyNook I have Jesus too. The Bible refers to it as "The peace that passes understanding." You and I both know what it is talking about. God Bless. Thank you for sharing.
your keto flatbread brought me to your channel. I still haven't make one yet (IM still waiting for the psyllium husk powder in the mail :(, One thing I noticed about you is your honesty. Finally a real human in the web. You are true. Thank you for being genuine.
Thank you for this wonderful channel , you are so calming and lovely 🦋
Thank you! Your video was like a light at the end of my keto diet questions loooooong tunel!
I identify myself with you so much!
I have been trying to understand this diet but I am struggling, I confess, especially because I am lazy and I cannot keep preparing meals for the whole week, which I found boring just like you.
Also, I contoll my weight every morning and I can understand how my body responds to what I eat, which helps a lot.
I totally agree with you about physical exercise, and I feel much better after a daily session of 40-mins to 1hr. I tend to be depressed when I don't exercise for more than 2 days.
Just like you, I live in UK and my vitamin D is sometimes too low, and I need a boost dosage to put the levels up.
I am pleased that I found your chanel and I will check your products on Amazon.
Thank you so much!
Good to see another relaxed ketoer. For me it's more about getting my body to the most balanced state so it does what it suppose to do. Less work for me the better :)
As always, a fantastic video. Definitely one of my favorite you tubers.
Yes, being aware of your body and what it’s telling you is a good easy way of tracking health and well being. Body happiness is important and exercise is also key👍
You are totally sensible about this diet..
This is my third year on keto diet... and what you have mentioned ..are very much the precautionary steps that should be taken ..to keep your weight down and your body healthy..
I could listen to her voice for hours
Me too! Was a delight while cooking today 🥰
Ahhh it was at Yoga I tore my meniscus ... Which has left me almost completely unable to do any other exercise !! A high percentage of people in the UK are very deficient in Vit D, regardless of our diet... It's NOT a Vegan problem... However, many GP's are no longer allowed to check Vit D levels ... The shareholders of PCN's don't think it's cost effective...!!
Such an honest and beautiful video. There are long term studies on keto- its been used for decades to cure people suffering with epilepsy. But it is true that i havent seen studies specifically on a long term vegan keto diet
You are lovely. And this video was so helpful. Thanks for existing.
Thanks for encouraging me. You’re glowing from within 😊
Great video! Totally agree about the pioneers needing to be honest
Very articulate and easy to listen to. Good info too!
I’m not vegan. I just love your keto recipes. I’m allergic to tofu so that’s not an option for me. Thanks!
Great video, so nicely explained. Thanks for that. I'm starting with this diet today, so this was very helpful. 💗
Love your channel; I am kero; not completely vegetarian; but can always get more vegetables in diet. You are so common sense about kero diet; sometimes people make it so complicated. Basic Kero is very simple; do the research. Good 👍 on whatever diet journey you are on!!!!!!
I absolutely love this very informative video. Am going to try your suggestions. You are also very enjoyable to listen to.
Another very informative video. Thank you for sharing your experiences so honestly, articulately and openly.
I absolutely enjoy your honesty 😊
For a more accurate way of tracking one's level of ketosis, the gold standard is using blood ketone strips. The strips are not cheap but it only takes one or two tests per week to see progress or lack thereof. As you said it can take months to reach fat adaptation and to be able recognize a level of progress without testing.
JUST FOUND YOU, SO INFORMATIVE AND NOT THE TYPICAL BOBBLE HEADED VALLEY GIRLS WANNABE'S ON THE OTHER CHANNELS...THANKS SO MUCH WISHING YOU LOTS OF SUPSCRIBERS, GOD BLESS YOU
No need to drag others down to praise someone. Try to find another way to compliment women.
Thank you so very much for your highly balance minded video. I'm looking into keto vegan because I was vegan for 6 years and I felt like the incredible hulk physically. Awesome health. Fibromyalia DISAPPEARED. NEVER HAD ENERGY IN MY WHOLE LIFE LIKE I DID AS A VEGAN!! For convenience sake in a relationship I forfeited my vegan diet and began eating meat again. Right about that time I signed up with a new PC who did my physical and my D levels B12, bones.. everything was fine (still at Vegan levels) until at that same time I began eating meat for the next 5 years until 5 days ago. ( In just 5 days I feel a great improvement). While a carnivore for 5 years my health began to decline to some serious low levels unbeknownst to me. While my new PC was investigating my B12 and D she reported that my B12 was down around 200 from 400 and my D2 was seriously low, I don't recall the number. Regardless of the levels they were so low that it was causing me dementia symptoms and physical mobility disability, irreversible neurologic damage. The question has arisen that why if I was eating plenty of meat and been outdoors a lot WHY had my B12 dropped so low? They are now investigating whether I have no intrinsic factor or some other metabolic reason. Our body requires many hormones to process our nutrients and going through menopause many women lose their ability to absorb especially these critical vitamins like D and B12. I'm afraid the vegagan diet wrongly recieves the blame for these things because they seemed to run higher in women and the connection is never made that it is a hormonal problem due to menopause and peri menopause. These deficiencies can cause Pernicious anemia, like my elderly friend is battling and these hormonal imbalances can cause what is known as hormonal anxiety (panic attacks, night terrors, insomnia and so much more!) and it is little known. Women get put on Anti-depressants, which further their deficiencies, when it's really the inability of their body to make use of nutrients because their hormones are out of balance. I now have to take shots for B12 (1x/month with possible increase after next check up) because suppliments do not absorb into my blood cell, they flood my blood stream and I have to take a D2 supliment (once a week 1.25 mg). Since I had no deficiency while vegan but I developed a deficiency while eating meat I intend to go back to being The Incredible Vegan Hulk (possibly keto vegan) to the best of my ability. I like your advice to see how your body does on certain things because everybody has a different activity level stress level and chemistry so I want to try keto-vegan and see how it goes. I always find the longer I go between meals the more clarity I have mentally until the Omnivore sugars dropped. Looking forward to more of your sound-minded videos and feeling better.
Thanks :). Vegan for ~8years and just starting to try moving to Vegan Keto IF 12pm-4pm.. good tips :)
Thanks for all of these tips!
thank u so much for the keto + vegan recipe videos!
Your perspective is refreshing to say the least!
I agree that some prepping methods can damage the integrity of the foods by cutting. I like to have a basic meal plan that lends itself to flexibility. I do try to list possible recipes for the week, based on what I have on hand. Some meals I am just plain looking forward to, like Shrimp Scampi!
Weighing myself every morning is a good idea. I'm new to Keto and plan to watch the carbs carefully and greatly reduce sugar intake. Unlike yourself, I plan to have a higher percentage of meat VS vegetarian dishes, but there will be both. I could give up meat, but not fish. Thank you for sharing your one year Keto anniversary. I very much like your approach!
Good job you listened to your body and found you had vitamin D deficiency and have addressed the problem. Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in our body to keep our bones and muscles healthy. It also helps support our immune system. So glad you are feeling much better. Thanks again for sharing your keto experience. Lots of love XX
Just beginning the video and going through the reviews. I have been a vegetarian over 6/7 years, have MS and was diagnosed with extremely low vitamin D. My neurologist told me to take 6,000 IU's a day and to eat fortified foods.
Just found your channel, been doing vegan keto for one week, your information and recipes are incredibly helpful, subscribed immediately thank you 😊
5-7 cups of leafy greens!
fantastic video. thank you for taking the time and posting it.
Thanks for the video.Im already practicing a ketogenic diet. Now looking to vegan.Im equally lazy and have a lot of similarities...not measuring ketons Etc. 😂😂😂. Very nice accent and very nice and calm voice.🙏
Thank You so so much, all You said was very informative and useful, I really like your point of view on nutrition and exercise. You give Yourself so much freedom, which is what most diets and routines miss out completely. Subscribed, bless You. ❤️
Her voice is so soothing I'm trying not to fall asleep haha
Your talk very resonance. Very educational. Thank you. 🙏🏻💎🌱🌈👍
I didn’t actually realize initially that you were vegan but that’s awesome - I plan on giving this information to my son who is also vegan. I do include eggs, dairy and pasture raised, grass fed, humanely killed beef on occasion as well chicken and I do eat wild caught fish. Sorry - I wish I could switch over completely and hey - now I have some more choices!
I like to prep tofu and tempeh and have it ready. Do you use miso? I like your channel and enjoy the content. I only eat meat like fish a few times per week. I have cut back on wine and plan on using alcohol only socially within moderation...this is hard for me sometimes. Have a great week!
what improvement with health and skin ,body etc did you feel going vegan keto?
Lovely Lady this is another Home Run Video.
Thank you for this real video on keto. I've never done it before, thanks so much ♡
I very much appreciated your balanced view of keto which I share... maybe I’m lazy too but as an older person who loves to cook with fresh wholesome ingredients that I buy from wonderful fresh local markets in Sicily are important to me and guide my choices of meals. I want to be able to eat tasty great food and care for my body! Thanks again for all your great insights and recipes ... I’m making the focaccia now!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your style. Great videos.
I totally agree with you about meal prepping. I don’t do that neither so can have the most nutrients from food.
Such good advice! Thank you
Best exercise is no exercise. Be active and move. Parkour is also great as moving in the environment that your currently in and movements are what you did as a child but stopped doing.
Joanna You clearly have never done parkour. We actually train for it
You are talking shit. Best exercise is high intensity exercise, it's scientifically proven. Being generally active is only better than doing nothing al all.
@@laraking804 70 year olds are doing parkour now, definitely not at the level like our trainer though, but it's good all round movement.
Beautiful channel. Thank you for sharing!
Keto with eggs and some animal products like salmon even once a week gives you lots of vitamin D. I don't like to eat a lot of meet but I eat organic pasture raised eggs and fish and my Vitamin D levels have really come up. I was also on prescription Vitamin D for several months and now I take a supplement every day with my eggs and fish and my levels are fine. I love your channel.
Thank you for this. LIked and subscribed
Well with body weight... sometimes body mass won’t change as we burn fat but gain muscles so might be misguiding x
BRILLIANT
I live in sunny New Mexico, but even here people get diagnosed Vitamin D deficient. I just upped my D supplementation as I'm suspecting I'm low.
Yes Vitamin D deficiency is quite widespread even amongst people who live in warm sunny climate. I'd highly recommend supplements. It has made such difference in my energy level.
Im am on regular keto with plants 50% and meats/eggs 50%. Either carnívore or vegan are too restrictive for my body cravings goes up. But on vegan keto i lose weight fast at least.
That's not a London accent. Sounds like a cross between SA and Hong Kong. You don't say Ds and Rs.Today I did a 5 min headstand and 15 minute handstand. You can be amazed at what you can do if you don't give up. I didn't like the worship part at the end of yoga classes. Try NMN. It's not a vitamin. It promotes production of NAD, the precursor of cell rejuvenation.
I am a night shift ICU nurse and I know without even checking that my Vit D and K-2 are very low because I have very little exposure to the sun. I also have a very narrow esophagus and it is difficult for me to swallow pills. Are you aware of an easy to swallow Vit. D pills? I would love to get a powder form but all the health food stores I have been in do not have the Vit. D in the powder form. Any suggestions? Very good video here. I love the tips as to what is most important in the Keto life style. I don't weigh myself everyday because I am like the ostradge with the head in the sand; if I don't see it it's not there. But I agree weighing everyday is essenstial to knowing what is working and what isn't working in my diet . I can tell you this for sure that there is a huge difference in my cognitive status as compared to pre-keto living. I read faster, I retain information more easily, and I don't get the brain fatigue I use to get , as in, if I put one more piece of information into my head I will implode.
Rhonda Williams I cannot swallow most pills so I use a liquid D3. It comes in varying IU amounts.
@@cathy3701 Thank you, I will look for the liquid Vit. D.
Liquid D3 is a great idea. I can down 5 pills at a time so never had problems :)) The D3 I'm taking is prescribed by my GP which contains 20,000IU per capsule, I take 2 a week. I think if you know your D3 is very low it might be better to have the blood test and get a prescribed dosage. Normal D3 supplements you get from shops can only get up to 4000IU. It makes such a difference in terms of lifting my mood and energy.
@@HeavenlyFan Thank you.
To anyone who has trouble swallowing pills, it does helps if you take a gulp or two of water FIRST to lubricate your throat, and THEN take the pill with some water.
What are your thoughts on "Beans & Rice" as a Protein source?
BTW: I just started Keto as a Vegan, and I was so happy you mentioned the "metallic taste in your mouth", because I was doing intermittent fasting, noticed that taste, and was worried about it. Thanks! (New Sub)
Thanks so much.
although i don't believe in veganism. I'm plant base very moderate wild protein to set the record strait. i agree with your philosophy and obviously it works for you. keep on putting up great videos. and dr fung and ms. Ramos are great
Thank you for you honestly
Hello. I also have lack of vitamin D. I'm taking Deltius 25.000 UI twice a week, but still I'm not up the level. What are you taking? Tanks
Was Vegan Keto last yr noticed my hair was coming out, I'm 100% Vegan but any tips as would love to go Keto again.
1) You're cute, 2) I love the way you talk, 3) I love that you're a vegan, and 4) I think I might have said this previously, but you look like Sigourney Weaver.
Thank you for sharing.
Coming from someone who generally snacks throughout the day between meals, eating one meal a day sounds so foreign! (Tho you said somedays that’s two meals - more achieveable for sure)
Thank you!
How many grams of protein would be good for a peri menopause 44 years old?
Love you
Do you take a multiple vitamin to make sure you get all you micronutrients? I want to start this diet. Can you recommend a multi?
Thank you
thanks for sharing. i would highly recommend going and watching Thomas DeLauer he went keto vegan for 2 weeks he is a smart guy just go to his channel do a search vegan. he goes into the science of thinks i find it informative even if i don't always understand the science. lol take care of i liked the wraps thanks.
Thank you for the recommendation, I had a look at the results video. He's done well, as the transition would be much harder for a non-vegan. Two weeks may be a bit short to come to meaningful conclusions but I commend him for the attempt. Though his point on protein may be slightly misled, it's now known that the amount of protein human body needs to sustain healthy muscle mass is grossly over-estimated. But I guess this guy works out a lot and he's also sponsored by protein powder company has something to do with it ;) It was interesting nevertheless.
Thanks so much :)
My vitamin D analysis also came back very low, below 20. What dosage your doctor prescribed to you? How long did it take to raise it? And what is your current D dose and form?
'I'm lazy' lol, fair enough 😏. You make some good points. I'm not sure about vitamin d deficiency being a keto thing though. Many, many people are deficient in this vitamin (especially in UK), most of whom aren't doing a keto diet. I think as you pointed out, people's fear of skin cancer has a lot of us covering up (when we actually get some sun, lol) which obviously doesn't help. I tried a raw vegan diet a few years ago and ended up quite ill. I never even thought about vitamin D (always good to do your research before undertaking extreme diets!) I was focusing more on iron and B12. So as a matter of interest, where do you get your B12 from? Thanks.
Yes I think particularly women are prone to vitamin D deficiency. I was just shocked by how low mine was. With B12 I'm not entirely sure. I have taken B12 supplements in the past but not consistently so I expected some deficiency, but surprisingly it came out quite normal. But going forward I think I'll start taking it again. But also it's about minimising to the essential ones so you don't end up popping tons of pills everyday :))
@@HeavenlyFan Thanks for your response. Apparently, you need to be careful with b12 blood tests as they aren't always accurate, unless you are severely deficient. They show what's in the blood but not what we are utilising as some of us don't absorb it very well. And no, who wants to be taking handfuls of vits & minerals! 😏
Great tips, thank you!
@@HeavenlyFan No probs 😏🌼
Just...W O W!
I would love love love to learn how to eat with enough protein without meat or grains since I don’t love meat and grains are hard on me I don’t digest well. Not sure there’s any options for me.it steadier to keep weight off then lose it for me. I also don’t process fats super well. Ugh 😩 I’m notorious for under eating
