Vegan Keto - What the Experts are Saying

[@NastassjaP]

I’m eating this way and have felt less pain in my ovaries. It can and should be done for those of us battling hormone imbalances.

[@she_surrendered]

Yea… hormones are protein peptides. if we make it unavailable by not eating it, our bodies will start eating its own proteins, starting with the toxic protein peptides/ hormones… 🙌🏾 a different type of autophagy… this deep in keto helps the body detox sugar (parasite food) AND harmful proteins! Genius if you can do it long term but probably shouldn’t be done as a whole lifestyle forever.

[@griffixdc]

Yes exactly its something ive been trying to recommend and explain to my wife suffering from similar ovary issues. Thankyou for confirming that it works

[@SC-bd4ou]

Finally! Much needed conversation and information on this subject. I need to be in ketosis for therapeutic reasons but I didn’t do well on the traditional keto regimen suggested. I found that a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or otherwise plant dominant diet is best for lowering inflammation, keep blood sugar down and steady, improving gut microbiome, etc. Loved getting the info straight from Dom d’Agostino! Good questions and topics, but the caption on the thumbnail doesn’t match video content. 😉👍🏼

[@littlevoice_11]

O my goodness. Thank you! Plant based, low carb-er here! Everyone seems to be at wars... vegans vs ketos. Ketosis is about macros whereas being vegan or plant based is devoid of animals plus the perfect way to incorporate more plants. I have about 80-90g protein per day with ease too.

[@mikeyboltzz6161]

What are your protein sources? I’m trying to put together a grocery list of my own

[@littlevoice_11]

@Mikey Boltzz nuts, seeds (in particular almonds, chia, flax, hemp, pumpkin), organic Tofu (The brand Tofoo is good), tempeh, edamame, unsweetened soya yoghurt (sone brands have prebiotic in them too), soya milk (clean brands only), raw cacao powder, chlorella/spirulina, unsweetened nut butter, I personally use pea protein isolate powder. Some vegetables are quite high in protein per 100g, considering they are vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, etc). Depending on how low in carbs you are, then some legumes are great (chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, peas) If you eat eggs then plain Quorn pieces or mince. Also quinoa is high in protein if you eat grains and have a higher carbohydrate threshold.

Ty for doing this for us who dont eat meat products I do eat some dairy but very limited !! But i am glad to see a video like this gear towards some of us who dont eat meat !!

[@pietercastelein2568]

I eat only locally produced and farmed food, meat and fished in moderation, goat yoghurt, I eat lots of vegetables. I don’t eat legumes and grains because my inflammation skyrockets, I tried vegan a couple of times. My body doenst work on it. Ethically speaking and from holistic point of view I think it is debatable that vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is environmental friendly. Most soil in the world cant be used for growing crops but can be used for feeding cows or sheeps. Only enormous monoculture can provide the calories needed for the whole world when that would go vegan or vegetarian. In colder climate it basically not possible so by eating vegan you are making an impact on the environment. Always better to eat locally and from a small scale production for a fair price. I hear them talking in this video about lots of processed foods and supplements. I think eating what we should eat provides us what we need.

[@tiffaniecross2209]

I think that some vegans don’t want to eat or use animal products because they don’t want to promote misuse of the animal. Honey is a product that’s important, because beekeepers are helping to preserve this vital part of crop production. Natural hives are infrequent and prone to predators like bears and ants. Beekeepers protect their hives from predators and they never take too much honey. They only take the “extra”. But a vegan could have their own hive to ensure they know they aren’t taking too much from their bees. Also, chickens and ducks ovulate (lay eggs) regularly even if no male bird is present. Eating eggs your hen or duck produce, doesn’t harm your chicken or duck. If you don’t eat it , it will rot.

[@GamborHibor]

i think a lot of those vegans disagree with what you said. You need to have a link for the study and research of what you claim.

I'm lacto-ovo veggie, and often vegan. I'm going to take 'Perfect Aminos' to get the exact ratio of 8 essentials; I will make the rest in my body. You don't need to consume any protein at all, but you must consume enough of each of the 8 essential amino acids. Any excess of an essential amino acid because of imbalanced ratios, that can't be put into a protein, will be turned into glucose is what their website says.

[@Appleblade]

I don't get the early point about fiber's value in "attenuating the glycemic response" ... who cares about a sharp glycemic response? Having chronically high insulin is the only serious concern I'm aware of ... it doesn't matter if your blood sugar spikes if it comes right back down... at least I've never seen a study saying people who experience big spikes have a problem. The main problem is people are constantly overfed, which means constantly secreting insulin, which eventually means insulin resistance. Just eat foods that allow you to eat less and less often. Fiber is important if you want to poop a lot, I guess, but everything else that people "know" about it seems to be mythology.

Great point about ketones helping slow down muscle atrophy, which means you don't need quite as much protein on keto. I still suspect it's difficult to get enough bioavailable protein from plants alone, but there are some mitigating factors that can help. :)

[@littlevoice_11]

I have around 80-90g per day but I'm small. Often I would exceed this if I wasn't consciously tracking macros. Usually around 30% of my macros are protein. I also have seen the research on time restricted eating enhancing protein utilisation and muscle growth/maintenance

But I never say anyone MUST be vegan. Everyone is different.

[@danielahmed3657]

Would keto with a calorie surplus And dry fasting during Ramadan giv me a body recomp?

[@nikknucleus4341]

So, on the ketogenic diet...with it being protein/muscle sparing, can you take in less than the regularly recommended amount of protein at .8 - 1.0 grams per pound? Maybe like, .5 grams per pound? Can you still build muscle if you lessen the amount of protein? Also, we've found that higher amounts of protein won't kick you out of ketosis, either... so, is there a sweet spot?

[@razonyespiritu8095]

Only with protein supplements

[@AlruMoToRiderz]

Following this 🧐

[@littlevoice_11]

Still aim for 0.8-1g of aiming to build and particularly if you get it from wholefoods rather including protein isolate powder. I have 80-90g per day BUT I am underweight and short as well. It ends up that I have more than 1.5g per kg. If you gave more protein than needed it will be used as energy or stored. The issues wirh traditionally high protein diets was kidney function. The negative effects found in this area were predominantly relayed to animal protein. Protein also triggers IGF1 but this can be balanced with autophagy achieved through time restricted eating advocated by Thomas such as 16:8or OMAD. Also, protein in general needs good stomach acid and adequate enzymes to digest and absorb it. Then you need stimuli on tour muscles to ensure the amino acids are used for muscle growth and maintenance.

[@montycora]

Protein is not negotiable. Do not decrease it, especially if you work out.

[@Imstillyoshi]

Interesting. What about our digestion system that isn’t set up for a plant based diet? We have a enzyme based digestion, not bacterial like a herbivore. The mountain gorilla has a large intestine that is twice as long as our and a type of a “chambered” stomach. They are set up for this. The protein powder is HIGHLY processed. Why not eat what we are built to eat.

@@Gracious777 Adam and Eve eating greens in the Garden does not mean that God intended for us all to be Vegan since God preferred animal sacrifices. God accepted the ram by Able and rejected the grains and greens by Cain. The sacrifices were not for God to eat but to be used for the less fortunate among us and God encourages us to give of the best if we can as offerings to others. Its undeniable that we did not descend from animals but we should not deny the obvious similarities that God has put in all His creations.
