Vegan Keto: 4 Pros and Cons

[@mora2k]

I have been doing the vegan keto for years in order to control my type 1 diabetes, no high bad colesterol, kidney stones, or panda eyes, and no diabetes complications. But my main sources or fats are not processed sources of fats. No oils. Just nuts, seeds and avocado. The rest is just green veggies, cherry tomatoes, and berries (for they’re low carb high antioxidant). Have replied to your videos before when talking about keto, saying vegan keto is way healthier, but I always get dismissed or hated on for saying the truth about my personal experience.

[@martam.2768]

Same here. When i write in any comment section I'm low carb vegan because high carb left me overweight and bloated, I hear I didn't do it right and probably lived on junk food or that I have damaged gut. Eye roll.

Miguel Mora excellent. I’ve been vegan for 6.5 years but high carb just doesn’t work for me like it used to. I can’t explain it. All I know is I feel bloated and just cannot lose this stubborn fat that has never been a part of me in the past. The only regimen that my body seems to respond to now that I’m 28, is indeed lower carb higher fat vegan. But I don’t limit my veggies. Very much like you :) I practice IF but the food is very much like yours. Great amount of leafy greens and non starchy veggies with avocados and tahini all over them lol plus seeds , nuts and low carb vegan protein powder and berry bowls. Yum yum. Appetite is so calm and I just feel so even. Thanks for your comment :)

[@user-yp3yj4ig7g]

I'm not on a vegan keto diet, but I have definitely increased my fat intake by a lot. I found that a high carb low fat diet did not work for me at all. I tried it for a year, used chronometer and was theoretically getting all my proper nutrients, but I found that my digestion was way off, I was getting sick a lot more frequently, I was always starving, always exhausted, and generally feeling off and uncomfortable. I am a person who has an extremely high metabolism, and a very active job, so I found that after switching to veganism, at first, I had to eat constantly, and never felt fully satisfied. But it was imperative to me that I found a way to solve all of these side affects without compromising my morals. I haven't decreased my carb intake, but I've upped my fat intake and make sure I eat a bit of either nut/seed butters, coconut milk, seeds, nuts, avocados etc almost every meal. I try to avoid using oil, but I haven't completely eliminated it. I also upped my starches too, I eat a ton more yams and potatoes, usually multiple times a day actually. I've found that these adjustments have done wonders. I am not starving all the time, I feel more satisfied after eating, I don't have to eat as much, digestion is great, I'm not super tired etc etc. It took me awhile to figure out veganism, but I think that I am finally getting somewhere. Next things to do: significantly reduce refined sugar, and add in more leafy greens. Sorry for the long comment, but thought that maybe my experience might help someone in a similar situation. =)

[@margaritap.9459]

It's a great comment. Different people's experiences are always interesting and useful!

[@yoomang7]

I had the same experience. Soon as I lowered my carb intake and increased my fat, I’ve felt so much better. The only carbs I get are from fruit generally. Avocado, macadamia and coconut have become staples.

[@sanne4419]

As someone with an extremely fast metabolism as well, higher fat diets are great for my digestion! Nuts, seeds, and avocados keep me fuller and satiated!

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

Wow I always had fast metabolism and was underweight as a carnist and after going vegan i would sometimes get so severely underweight if i ever exerted myself more than normal so i have to be really careful - i will eat more fatty foods too from now on and see if that helps! thanks for sharing and thanks for not compromising your morals!!

[@SayuriYaki]

The high carb low fat vegan diet had a big hype but in the long run I think most healthy vegans just go mainly whole food vegan nowadays with some vegan treats here and there, without obsessing about the macronutrient ratios. And it‘s just the easiest and most chill way to eat for me too. :) And thanks for sharing your story, I have seen a lot of similar stories on youtube and I hope it can help someone being stuck in the same place.

[@lukethibodaux790]

I don't know if I agree with Mic there, I do keto cycles twice a year and I don't increase my animal protein consumption at all. I eat more greens, nuts, seeds, avocados and olive oil but I keep animal products pretty low overall especially since I cannot have dairy due to all the sugars. I have thought about a vegan keto cycle but I already have a low T score (243) and eliminating cholesterol only makes that problem worse. When I did a strict whole food vegan diet I felt severely drained and fatigued the entire time presumably from the even lower levels of testostarone. I never had the dark rings around my eyes that Mic describes nor have I ever seen it in my family many of whom are long time keto due to the family curse of severe blood glucose issues. For the record I have never used an MCT oil to get into ketosis, simply not needed all you have to do is a fasted workout to burn off any residual glycogen and you are burning fat for fuel within a few hours. There is a reason we avoid canola oil it is a very unhealthy fat overall as it's omega 3 to 6 ratio is way off and it oxidizes very rapidly, not to mention the industrial solvents that are used to refine it, such a process is not needed with olives and coconut which can be cold pressed without solvents. I do loose a large amount of weight on keto and no it is not just water weight, I drop 22-30lbs every time I cycle (roughly 30 days) but in my case the only reason I have that much weight to loose is my genetic insulin resistance and low T, I work out six days a week for goodness sake. I never once in all of my keto cycles ever counted carbs in leafy greens or any non starchy vegetable, the reason why is the tiny amount would simply be burned off the second I did my next set on the weights, the body preferentially stores carbs as glycogen so that is gone in a matter of seconds if you do any lifting, hence would not lead to any significant insulin spike that would kick you out of ketosis. Long story short I won't recommend keto to anyone but for those with severe insulin resistance it can be a life saver, if you are able to do it vegan that is even better as some of the best sources of healthy fats are from olives, nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconuts.

you do know that a ketogenic diet for children with drug resistant epilepsy (typically 4:1) is completely different to for an adult using it to lose weight right? Side effects you showed here are related to kids using 90%+ fat and often processed foods because they are little kids and its easier for the mothers to give them keto 'treats'. There are also other reasons for the side effects- often these kids are still on AEDs which can cause nutritional deficiencies and kidney/liver problems. You don't see this in adults with well formulated ketogenic diets, of which there are many (different forms) because all the diet really means is maintaining a state of nutritional ketosis. There is no such thing as THE ketogenic diet, because there are many ways to do this, but is nutritional ketosis harmful in any way on a nutrient dense, well formulated diet?

[@drearoach]

great video. I have done whole plant vegan keto for many months before. The main reason I became convinced to transition to whole plant LOW fat more plant carbs instead was that I could not cure my insulin resistance on vegan keto. Even with massive amounts of veggies and greens. Now I have learned that the underlying cause of insulin resistance /type 2 diabetes is actually fat in the cells blocking the signaling ...it would seem the keto diet , while it gets your numbers to look great (A1c and glucose levels) it only because of the absence of most carbs. However I noticed after being on keto...I was becoming MORE reactive to even low glycemic carbs in time. Example , early days I could manage berries...later after a year berries would spike my glucose more than before. This is possibly another reason not to keto long term even vegan keto. I vote for getting into occasional keto the most natural way....by fasting.

I’ve been on standard keto for almost a year and hardly ever eat red meat at all, I don’t understand why people make it sound like being on keto is eating bacon and steaks with butter. There’s plenty of ways to add loads of veggies without it being totally vegan and get all micronutrients needed. It has helped me infinitely to deal with my clinical depression and anxiety disorders without medications, being active , never been fitter in my life and all counting carbs helps have a sense of completion. All blood tests have come out within healthy standards. Some things work better for some people , this type of videos try to put the vegan ways as if it was the one correct way to do things

How is it possible to "eat loads of veggies" when your net carbs need to stay under 20 to 50 grams just to remain in ketosis? This is the first diet I've ever heard of that tells you to restrict your veggies. My mom literally denies herself nutrient-rich foods like tomatoes (10 g/cup), Kohlrabi (11 g/cup) and broccoli (8 g/cup). That's insane!

[@cincin4515]

[@PeaceNinja007]

When portraying keto, they portray it as dirty keto. Which is a bad thing and clearly not healthy. Kind of dishonest, really. Keto, or at least proper keto, makes emphasis on clean, grass fed and finished, no hormones, no GMOs, no antibiotic meats. Dirty keto I strongly discouraged. Also, keto allows veggies, not as much as vegan obviously but they’re not 100% restricted unlike veganism, which restricts all meat AND vegetarian products. Keto is more balanced in my opinion

[@TheMercilessEye]

I don't know if you've touched on this specific topic since making this video, but you neglected to differentiate between refined and unrefined or virgin coconut oils. The refined version is definitely bad for you, elevating cholesterol levels markedly, but virgin or unrefined coconut oil doesn't have the same effect, and is a 60% source of triglycerides, which break down in the liver into ketones. The use of MCT is similar, not having the same deleterious effect as refined coconut oil. Both MCT and Virgin coconut oil can have amazing benefits for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. I highly recommend the book "ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: What if there was a Cure?" by Mary Newport, M.D. She also has several videos on the benefits of MCT and Virgin coconut oil here on KZbin, including a TED Talk on the subject -- very worthwhile viewing.

Speaking personally, maintaining high blood ketones for more than about a week feels FANTASTIC. Energy levels are rocksteady throughout the day, regardless of when I eat or how much I eat in one sitting, and there's just this incredible feeling of mental clarity and greater emotional stability. I didn't even expect it back when I tried keto, but then when I experienced it, I found a lot of other people reported the same thing. There's definitely something to it. Plus it makes your pee smells like a bouquet of flowers, which is a nice bonus. The trouble with low carb diets, vegan or otherwise, is sticky, greasy stool. Fiber only goes so far at curbing it. Even adding psyllium husk does only so much. It is not fun, to put it mildly. It also does weird things with muscles. It preserves them, so you don't really lose strength like you'd expect even with a lack of exercise, but it also makes gains very difficult too. And without glycogen, muscles just get thin and mushy (albeit still very functional), so creatine is nice to have to offset that effect. And though there isn't a loss of strength nor endurance, subjective feelings of fatigue come on much quicker, so it takes more willpower to stay active. Those two facets make keto unsustainable for an extended period of time for me. But damn did it feel good for the while I held onto it.

So, something interesting about this...when I started doing vegan keto, I was eating way too much fat...adding coconut oil and avocado to everything. It was decadent, BUT, when I really took a look at my macros, I was way over on calories and fat. Now, the only added fat I have is vegan butter for cooking my tofu(it would stick without it, and it's lower calories than olive oil or coconut oil. My biggest fat source is actually the two blocks of tofu I eat every day, totaling 40.5 grams of fat(for one firm and one extra firm block). There is no room to add fats anywhere. I eat tofu, vegetables, almonds, and beyond meats(which contain coconut oil), and also Morning Star vegan chicken strips, which are unbelievably high in protien.

[@ejr2001]

Thanks for the video Mike! One of the biggest cons for me is the no beans keto mandate. The healthiest societies on the planet all eat a ton of beans. Even ancient gladiators as per the research discussed on The Game Changers were primarily "bean and barley eaters." And Dr. Greger from Nutrition Facts recommends we eat beans 3 times a day--even for breakfast--to not die. Doesn't make sense to me to exclude one of the world's most affordable superfoods, and one that comes in so many natural flavors and variety, which are essential to any diet regimen. SMH

At first i did it all wrong, drinking coconut milk and tons of oil, but slowly added fruit, then rice and potatoes. I still have a problem with peanut butter, but getting better. I added 5 to 10 lbs in 6 months on this vegan diet, but think i can lose it with some exercise, i hope. For me, keto and fasting helped lose the weight but cholesterol soared to 326, but vegan brought down to 145 quickly and i feel more healthy...

[@MelissaJetzt]

I'd like to point out that you failed to define what a "standard keto diet" is. Based on what you shared, it is all meat, dairy, and saturated fat. Butter and bacon. Which is obviously false, albeit very hyped. Anyone who can afford it at least, would have a balance of plant based and animal based sources of protein and fat, not one or the other. And so if that is what is being compared in all of these studies, I think it's fair to say that unfairly lumps all keto into the same category. Besides, in my look into the research, "very low carb" has had a murky definition. A lot of these types of studies that "debunk" keto have way too much carbs in the first place. So it's not even keto. And therefore, their results cannot conclude anything about keto. I'd also like to point out that completely nut based fat is not only prohibitively expensive but typically those higher fat nuts like macadamia come from tropical areas. They're native to Australia but mostly produced in Hawaii and South Africa. So unless you live in those places, you are increasing your carbon footprint. I am keto and a scientist myself. So I do my own research in the literature. In my opinion, a keto diet that relies heavily (but not solely) on plants is a good balanced option. Not just nutritionally, but environmentally. I try to make about half of my meals vegetarian or vegan keto, which helps offset my carbon footprint. As much as the ethics and environmental impacts of veganism resonate with me, I don't think evolutionary biology is irrelevant. Vegans struggle to maintain proper vitamin and mineral levels without supplements and we evolved to be omnivores. If you can't maintain that with whole foods reliably, it seems like an unnatural way to live. Again, in my opinion. But still science based. This comment is intended for discussion, not trying to be argumentative. I think it's helpful for someone like me (keto first, vegan second) to see your perspective (vegan first, maybe keto second in this video) and vice versa. There are a lot of studies out there which make claims that are not what they seem until you read the fine print details. So it's good to do a check on each other. Cheers!

I adore your channel and all your videos Mic, but I gotta say all your videos about weight loss definitely come from the perspective of someone who has never struggled with their weight. I gained 15 pounds when I went vegan and the only way I've been able to lose any of it is to limit my calories to 1300ish a day. 1400 wasn't even doing it for me. Whole food plant based didn't do it for me. My metabolism sucks. The struggle is real.

[@EarthMonkey]

it's hard for people to relate if they haven't been there. I struggled for years testing every diet in the book. I initially lost weight on a whole foods plant-based diet but then stagnated halfway through. I've finally dialed in my diet lost 100 lbs and it doesn't come back which is the key. I have 2 videos on my channel that explain my diet I need to do some update videos though as I've dialed in my diet it's imperative to make sure your body activates the parasympathetic nervous system or thee "rest and digest" system. Removing, stress bad people and habits along with meditation and a positive mindset are all needed to get to this state but need to work in conjunction with a plant-based diet to lose weight, at least for those of us that have absurdly stubborn body fat.

[@hiking1388]

Hey Mic, I know you don't usually cover things like politics, but any chance you could make a video on how vegans might best go about organizing ourselves to promote a 'meat tax'? Or rather, a pollution tax assessed to all foods, I figure it's the best ways to knock out dairy and meat, not to mention provide some much much much needed relief to our environment. Ideally too there would be some subsidies (and/or tax breaks offered to) of vegan/lower carbon footprint products added in as well to appease the masses - people just want easy and delicious food readily available. If vegans can corner the market with relatively available and cheaper processed foods, there finally will be no excuses. People are concerned about convenience (and taste) and their food bill not going up, it is unfair how much of an advantage the animal industry has thanks to things like government-funded subsidies. We need to change that, but how? Anyway thanks for the amazing videos! They are perfect to watch with our Dr Greger-approved meals - we owe you another big thanks for introducing us to him! Looking forward to your future videos :)

Do you eat foods that don't grow in your local area? They need to be taxed at the same rate as meat products.

[@hiking1388]

@@SuperDipMonster You know I used to think that local food was necessary for a lower carbon footprint, and well every little bit counts but see here to explain why transportation of food is less damaging than actual food production: blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/09/04/how-green-is-local-food/ So even in my suggestion, a pollution-based taxed, foods that travel far wouldn't see their price change as much as you expect - so long as their production wasn't energy intensive. Nevertheless, your suggestion would help to kill off demand for Amazon-grown beef. Heavier items are more expensive to ship, right (more fuel needed etc), and beef is quite heavy. So, anything to stop de-foresting the Amazon for beef, I say! To be honest when thinking of this 'pollution tax' I wasn't too concerned with discerning from where that pollution comes from (production or transportation, or both), basing it off of total carbon footprint is fine because either way plants are the winner, and animal products lose. At the very least, we need to level the playing field and stop subsidizing animal products so much - or at least give plants the same subsidies. It would help consumers (and our health) so much, not to mention, the environment. In conclusion, while transportation pollution certainly shouldn't be ignored, I think to help the environment most effectively we should focus on total pollution from our food products. Either way, eating vegan is far (FAR) more helpful to the environment than eating local (but also eating beef etc). What do you think? :)

I also don’t understand how I could stay in ketosis if I’m relying on foods with a high glycemic index (GI) for my protein. Any amount of rice & lentils for example would knock me out of ketosis and it takes 2-3 days to get back into ketosis. I just don’t’ think it would be possible for me to do a “keto vegan” diet because I’m one of those people who has to stay below 10 gr. of carbs a day to stay in ketosis and keep my diabetes under control.
