About me

I am an Indian vegetarian who can eat eggs (but not end products of it ๐Ÿฃ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), typically known as eggetarian. I am definitely not a dietician nor an expert in this field. Here I am sharing what worked for me, what I ate during my keto month and lose around 7.5kg (with not even too much of exercise, which I don't recommend).

For some, 7.5kg may not sound too much. But the fact is I was not overweight before, so losing 7.5kg itself within a month was notable for me. Keeping not too much in suspense, I was around 73kg before and now I weigh, 66.1kg. I am 175cm tall, muscular man, turning 32 in Sep 2021.

Bit about Keto Diet

A very low-carb, high fat diet. Idea is to make the body start burning fat for the energy instead of carbs and the process is called Ketosis. Yeah you will get only that bit from me on it, suggest to read some expert views.

Eggetarian Keto Diet

During this period I realised, how much carbs we consume daily and in almost everything we eat got carbs. For keto, ideal carb intakes can be in range of 20โ€“50g. I tried to keep my carbs intake within 20g per day.

As vegetarians* we got very limited options during Keto. I have shared my whole month food log at the end of this article. Before going to that here is the summary of my mostly consumed food and alternate options for high carb food items.

Breakfast: Boiled eggs, omelette, almond milk with chia seeds, cauliflower rice poha, coconut/almond milk with keto friendly cornflakes

Lunch/Dinner: Almond/Coconut flour roti/naan, boiled green vegetables, mushroom, broccoli, paneer bhuji, egg bhuji, paneer wrap, egg plant and cheese, salad, almond flour dosa

Snacks/Drinks: Black coffee, Almond milk coffee, Coconut milk coffee, berry smoothie, Almond milk tea, Black tea, peanut butter, greek curd, Red bull (no sugar), peanuts, walnuts
