In this "what I ate vegan", I share one day of eating plant-based keto. It might surprise you if you only know about meat-based keto.
Plus, I'll address the main questions and concerns you had when I told you about me making this on the community page and on Instagram.
This includes:
Why am I doing keto?
Am I doing plant-based keto?
How to do vegan keto?
What about side effects and isn't keto unhealthy?
And what about your macros and nutrients on plant-based keto?
As always, my videos are for inspiration, not to tell you how to eat. Nothing I say is health advice. I'm only sharing my personal experience.
Since this video was posted, I have received lots of suggestions saying I should follow several TH-cam doctors/dieticians. My answer to that is that I HAVE and it led me to worse outcomes.
Over ten years ago when I was newly vegan for animal welfare, I started following the plant-based doctors so I could stay healthy and vegan for life. I won't name them here but eventually I started following their SOS-free, WFPB-touting, "nutritarian" advice. When I took my first hiatus because of tendonitis, I followed their diet recommendations even more closely. But not only did my tendonitis symptoms get more severe, I developed the worst depression episode of my life lasting several months. This wasn't sadness due to my situation. It was a complete shut down of emotions. Which would've been scary if I still had the ability to feel fear.
After I added fat back in, gradually the depression lifted and I got my emotions back! Not right away but over the course of several months.
I didn't make the connection between carbs and tendonitis until years later though. Mainly because I was so convinced by those same doctors that healthy whole food complex carbohydrates could not possibly be the reason. Turns out, those were false assumptions.
So while their way might work for some people or even most people; it was terrible for me.
I hope to bring awareness to this in hopes that it spares one person from the years of unnecessary pain that I experienced. This isn't medical advice and I'm not recommending my vegan keto diet to anyone. Instead, I just hope to encourage you to listen to your own body as you find your way. Only you knows how it feels to be you.
Love,
Mary

Very lovely meal ideas! I have an idea about your tendonitis that might be really helpful, and explain why ketosis helps. One cause of tendon sheath inflammation is toxoplasmosis, and you can get toxoplasmosis from (get ready for this) cat poop. And, ketosis kills toxoplasma, so getting into deep ketosis might get rid of both of these problems for good. Just an idea. I've been on a ketogenic diet for several years-definitely doable and not dangerous :)
@@joantendler6518 oh no haha! I was tested for that once and it came back negative. Good to know about your experience with long term keto. Thanks for sharing ❤️✌️
@@marystestkitchen That's good! In any case, it looks like you've found your solution, so that's the important thing :) I'm normally meat-based keto, but I'll have to try your avocado roses on tofu-amazing!
I am eating vegan keto to keep my ovaries and hormones happy and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made! I loved your Vegan Keto recipe ideas. Definitely going to try the tofu avocado toast. Looking forward to your next one!! ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Nastassja. And the kind words. It means a lot coming from you. I saw your vegan keto noodles the other day and they looked absolutely incredible!
Tofu to very bad for our hormones.
I am looking to do the same. If you have any other meal ideas or other people I can follow please let me know. Thanks!!!!!
@@Rai46149- Latest I heard was that that is an urban myth; however, it’s important to find organic, non-GMO soy. Anyway, Mary makes tofu out lots of non-soy plant proteins as well.
As a type 2 diabetic, keto + intermittent fasting (in my case, only eating lunch and dinner, no breakfast or snacks) is how I can manage my blood sugar levels without medication. I love Heavenly Fan's channel, and am thrilled that you'll be sharing keto recipes and tips!!!
That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Claudia
As a former traditional keto person who ate primarily plant based I can tell you from the amount of groups I have been in on fb,ppl will look for the most processed way to use up those net carbs instead of filling up on high fiber, low carb berries and veggies. So you’re exactly right. Your plant based keto wouldn’t be remotely the same as the studies.
I’m primarily plant based mostly vegan now and it makes the most sense to me for my body.
Your recipes look delicious ❤
This was great! I'm not keto, but my best friend is and I often have trouble knowing what to cook for her since she's not vegan, so I'm gonna file these way as ideas when I next see her. She's on keto on doctor's orders and it really works amazing for her specific problem (insulin resistance). I hope it works for you too!
I get people's comments sometimes (one of my other friends got pretty sick on it, for instance), but keto is different for everyone and no single eating habit is gonna work for everyone. Also, was lovely seeing your face in this video.
Thanks, Lulu 🤗 your friend is lucky to have such a thoughtful person in her life ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed!
Aww Mary! I love these videos where you show your face. Feels more personal. I honestly don’t care about keto at all but I’m always happy to get more vegan meal ideas.
Thanks, Julie! I'll always have vegan recipes for everyone :-)
Okay, Mary. I have some serious vitriol toward meat-based keto because of how it played out for one of my loved ones. BUT I was very interested to see what your plant-based version would look like. It seems way more balanced! And delicious. I’m actually going to try some of these recipes 😁 and as someone with chronic pain, I totally get it. Though I don’t think I’m ready to try this method, I’m so glad its working for you 💚
Thanks so much, Vanessa! I really hope you enjoy the recipes :-) Totally understand that this way of eating is not for everyone.
I too got chronic debilitating pain post my cancer surgery. I started out by eliminating animal products then fried food. Finally i limit fat & oil to 10% of my total daily calories. It does help rid of the pain & mostly the intensity of the pain.
@@ima7333 I hope you feel better soon 🌻 you are in my prayers.
vegan keto is just no starch. keto (with meat) was a reaction to a health minister declaring pritiken diet to be the healthiest on earth. meat heavy diets are all toxic. end of.
I love how upbeat, funny and practical you present your cooking classes, Mary. I am happy you find your way of making your life better and inspiring others to create yummy soulful food.
Thank you so much!
I know you said you feel awkward on camera and I totally understand that but I love seeing you on camera now and then, it feels like hanging out with a friend! I've been watching your channel for many years and I'm so glad you've been able to find something to help your flare ups and pain, I can tell how much it means to you emotionally to get some of your life back! I love your motto of "there are no rules"- my husband and I say this to each other all the time. To each their own, you know? You're awesome, Mary!
Aww 🤗🤗🤗
I love your channel. I started watching years ago and went veg keto myself. I’m back on veg keto and so happy I can binge watch your channel again. I especially appreciate the focus on how you’re feeling and the benefits to your health, I get horrible flare ups with carbs so this feels like a very safe space, thank you! ❤
SO much respect for this approach to ketosis. I have a chronic condition that is sometimes treated with the keto diet but I'm worried about how restrictive diets can be triggering but your approach seems so much softer, I love this idea of using it as a 'treatment' and as needed when you get flare ups. I also need to be able to eat whatever the hell I want at least some of the time! Can I ask if you get keto flu every time you go in and out of ketosis? That would be my only worry about this approach.
No I really don't feel unwell at all. The only thing I notice is my hands going from warm to cool.
I think it is because I keep is low-carb-ish most of the time. OR maybe because I keep in lots of vegetables (which contain electrolytes) and drink lots of water? Pure speculation on my part btw.
I really don't know why I never get keto flu symptoms like fatigue, headache, etc.
Keto flu is often due to lack of electrolytes (because the carb reduction means you flush out a lot of water and the water takes electrolytes with it) so being careful with that is often helpful. Signed: someone who´ll never be keto because wheat is life but thinks everyone should eat what works for them.
@@marystestkitchenketo flu is caused by, low mineral/ mineral imbalance in ratio. Flour and sugers, remove minerals from the bones. Vit. B1 ( nutrition yeast), and B1 Bifotomine synthetic form nerve health...
Hi, Mary. I just wanted to say thank you and offer encouragement. I eat an extreme anti-inflammatory diet due to my chronic health issues. We don't have a full picture of what's going on yet but I also have random allergic reactions to things I'm not allergic to. I have fatigue, muscle spasms, nerve pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, anxiety, etc. I had the allergy testing and am following up with my GP and allergist. But on my own, I tried an elimination diet and found what works for me. It's a weird feeling when you realize that the otherwise-healthy things you're eating on a daily basis are what's been hurting you for so long. I reported back to my doctors and they were surprised that food was having such an impact. Now we have a better idea of why I'm having these symptoms.
I try to watch my nutrition since I have to limit/avoid a lot of foods - that is my biggest concern for the long term. But I think once you know what works for you (and everyone should remember we are all different, health-wise), you have to stick with that. Like you, it has been a tremendous relief to get my life/energy/ability to work back by reducing inflammation. People who haven't gone through your pain cannot imagine what that is like. I wish you the healthiest you that you can be! (And thanks for reminding me about Chronometer - I had forgotten about them!)
I feel this so much ❤️ thanks for sharing your experience. You're so right; most people just can't understand unless they've been there.
Sounds a lot like mast cell activation.
Differently blessed sibling amused me to no end
Sometimes we all feel like that 😂
I enjoyed your relaxed conversational style in this video, and I'm glad you're finding what works for you dietarily.
Thanks, Gene!
Great and entertaining video. You’re very funny and have likable personality😂❤
I am vegan (7yrs) and I think if you’re going to do keto…vegan is the way to go! Even though Dr. Kim Williams (past President of the American College of cardiology and plant-based diet doctor) stated that vegan keto was the only keto diet that was actually beneficial to health. That’s what he’s seen in practice and in the literature.
Love your channel! 🫶🥑
Keep doing you!! 😃
Thanks so much Melanie!
Congratulations on your found health. Being pain free is a beautiful thing.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great content, as always Mary. My feeling is that you’re an informed adult, and you can make your own health decisions. I wouldn’t be concerned about the naysaying. I personally feel much better when I’m in ketosis, my muscle and joint inflammation almost vanish entirely.
Right?! That's the thing. I don't think just living with years and years of pain (meaning chronic inflammation) is healthy either. That's associated with cancer risk and a multitude of badness.
@@marystestkitchen Agreed! I also feel that it stabilizes my bipolar symptoms better than my mood stabilizers, which makes sense since a ketogenic diet is one of the most successful and earliest forms of treatment for neurological disorders like epilepsy. There is a time a place for using it judiciously and mindfully.
@@7eardstapa7 That's so interesting! Thanks for sharing. I did find that when I when low fat and high carb, my depression episodes went to their absolute worst. And I haven't had one since deciding to stop limiting fat and just having as much as feels natural to me
@@marystestkitchen That’s great! I’d love to see more research in this area. If we learn to use food as medicine, we may need less pharmaceuticals as mental health patients. I’m all for that. :)
The internet is such an... interesting place with very... interesting people. I'm glad you found something that works for you and your goals, Mary, and support whatever the heck you do! The intent behind everything you do is to treat your body the best you can and be kind to animals, so even if I don't prepare every recipe you share, I'll still watch 😍 You handle a lot of negative comments with such grace which is inspiring. Have a great day!
You are so sweet and wonderful and such a light in this world of shitty comments. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Just now starting this vegan keto thing for epileptic reasons. Love the channel! Thank you so very much!
You are so welcome!
Kudos to you! I've been a big fan of Heavenly Fan for a couple of years. I do Vegan Keto often, for my own reasons. As you mentioned, many people equate keto with meat-based keto & can't see the potential for a healthier plant-based/vegan keto option that includes plenty of nuts, seeds, avocado, olives, etc. Haven't seen any research on plant-based/vegan keto either. Glad you are doing what works for you.
Thanks for all the kind words, Jason! And love to meet a Heaven Fan Fan too :-)
Thank you for doing this series! I am so interested in this. I never thought vegans could do keto, so I rebuked the diet as silly. But I know my body works better under keto, with my wonky blood sugar and slow metabolism.
You're most welcome. Tbh, I also thought that before too!
You’re totally right that vegan keto is completely different, and I’m glad it’s working for you.
Thank you for addressing everything! I’m really glad you feel better!
Everything looks delicious BTW!
Thank you so much
Loved this vid, Mary… you covered a lot of important keto subjects that we found exceptionally helpful as my wife is just now trying vegan keto. More, please!
🇺🇸🇨🇦🙌
Glad it was helpful!
@@marystestkitchen huzzah!
I've always wanted to try my hand at avocado roses. That second one was the best.
haha thank you I was so proud of it 😂
Great video! You are always easy to watch and it’s good to see your face. Thanks fir all of the good info Mary!❤
I needed this a week ago! 😆 Had to eat very low carb (basically keto) for two days to prep for a PET scan.
To be honest I would not recognize anything you ate in this video as "keto" if you hadn't told me. It just looks like good plant based food to me!
oh no haha sorry I wish I could've helped for that!
I know this is a year old, but I just came to it, and thanks! I'm 47, gently entering into the dreaded 'peri-menopause' stage, have somehow put on way too much weight, and plus I have psoriatic arthritis which is going through a major flare atm. I did a diet a few years back where I gave up sugar, and I did notice a huge improvement in my inflammation levels, and I've been building up to cutting out gluten and dairy (which I know are the most likely culprits for auto immune problems)...but I live in rural Italy and frankly just being vegetarian is already a bit of a challenge eating out, and I feel like if I cut out pasta and pizza i'd be super restricted. But your video has given me inspiration and confidence to try. Thanks!
I appreciate you’re take on vegan keto. I worked for a restauranteur who was making the restaurant switch to keto and as a vegan (and chef) I was always attempting vegan keto recipes. It was a fun challenge for sure!
Also, I’ve considered the possibility of attempting to use ketosis to help my chronic migraines but have never really done the work to make sure I knew all I needed to know to do it right. So good one you!
AND I’ve made about 5000 avocado roses in my life and yours look great! 🥑🌹
Aww thank youuuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mary, great video! I had chronic tendinitis in both arms for a long time. My go to therapy was hot and cold contrast baths for my arms, forearms, and elbows. It works best if you have a double sink but a single sink with a basin works too.
Fill up on sink with ice cold water. I add ice cubes too. Dill up the other sink with very warm water. Then start dipping your arms in the cold water until you can’t stand it. Then switch and dip your arms in the hot water.
I used to do this for 30 minutes at least twice a day. It helped tremendously for pain reduction. I used to boil the kettle to top up the hot water in the sink as it cools down over time from dipping your arms back and forth.
I did the hot and cold treatments too! haha bane of my existence. Now, by keeping up with daily nutrition and staying on a keto diet longer tern, I have absolutely no pain :-) no more hot and cold baths necessary and I can work all day like a normal person again!
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you are able to take control and find what works for your body and adapt to meet your needs. Wishing you have more pain free days!
thank you so much! Since this video was published, I have maintained keto as my baseline diet and found that it keeps the symptoms away completely.
After all the videos that I watched of you today I finally got to see your face 😘 So amazing that you discovered that low carb helps your chronic pain and thrill to see that you stuck with the vegan version of it. Thank you so much for your amazing content.
Thank YOU so much for watching ☺️
Your willingness to share your personal health challenges and learning to reinvent yourself is admirable. This is a life changing journey almost everyone in their lifetime will battle with their own health issues. Every journey is forgiving as we will make mistakes along the way, we will reevaluate and work on making things better. We are all learning to live the best life we can. Thank you, for sharing your journey with us and helping others along the way.
Your recipes are looking great. I will be making your miso tofu this week and cauliflower fried rice but with out oil. 😉
Thanks for your kind words. I means a lot!
Right on, Mary! Your plant-based keto diet thoughts mirror my own. Having been a juvenile diabetic for the majority of my life, every one of my docs has told me to stay far away from meat-based keto, but plant-based keto gets their thumbs up. I’ve made so many meals using your great recipes, tofu cooking methods and ideas, and now I’m so looking forward to trying out this one for soy curls in the air fryer! Thanks for all your hard work and great ideas!
Yay! So glad my recipes have been helpful too :-)
I really enjoyed this video. Its very interesting to hear about keto plant based diets, and the recipes have given me some inspiration to try it out. Would definitely watch another keto addition of 'what I eat in a day' :)
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching :-) I will definitely do this again (without the super long rambling haha)
I'm glad you found a diet that works for you and helps improve your quality of life. This video and the meals you showed could help people who are going through the same thing or another condition where complex carbs just don't work for them. You're also showing that a vegan lifestyle is adaptable to each person and their unique requirements ❤
Thanks so much :-) Your kind words really mean a lot
Great video! A couple of years ago I started vegan keto for weight loss. After the initial few days (keto flu) I felt amazing, very alert and energized. Dropped some weight and I felt balanced, never stuffed or bloated. My monthly cycles were a breeze without any cramps. I was following the standard keto macros. Then awhile later, I started reading how even vegan keto is not healthy because of all the fat consumption. So, needless to say I stopped vegan keto, gained all the weight back and feel inflamed and bloated. In hindsight, the fat I was eating on vegan keto was along the lines of what you ate in this video....olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds which is all healthier forms of fat so it can't be all that bad. I know I felt my best eating vegan keto. I would love to see more on this.
By the way I'm also a fan of Heavenly Ham and Keto Jamaican Girl.😊
Omg I didn't even talk about the monthly benefits! Because I hardly think about it anymore. Period pain is completely gone for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience. it's so interesting that we (me included) will sometimes stop listening to our bodies to listen to generalizations that aren't even based on us!
Thank you for this video. The recipes look amazing! It was fun to watch and very informative. I'm glad this way of eating is helping you manage your pain.
Glad you enjoyed it!
More power to you Mary and more vegan keto recipes please. Glad you've found a way to manage your tendonitis problems btw.
Thanks. Definitely more to come as I figure them out 😁
Hello Mary! You do you. Everyone is different. I do vegan keto and it has done so much good for my body. There are so many foods that naturally have lots of protein. I reduced if not eliminated inflammation and pain in my body since doing vegan keto. What works for me may not work for others. I find telling people that I am vegan keto was like talking about religion or politics. Everyone has an opinion that works well for them. You just have to do you. Good luck and many blessings! Oh yes, I’m a fan of Heavenly Fan too!
That's wonderful! It's nice to know there's dozens of us 😁✌️
I really enjoyed this video. I also have inflammation and it impacts my hands and arms. Some days, so painful I can’t even lift a bag, steer my car properly or pet my cats. That pain is debilitating.
A year ago, I switched to plant based and I’ve had zero pain since. Only took about 3 days to notice the pain significantly decreased.
Now doing a similar version of keto vegan as yourself. Not fussed over numbers either and just want to maintain a healthy plant based lifestyle to keep the pain away, but also have always loved the idea behind keto. It was actually recommended to me my medical team about 5 years ago (to manage weight. I have since had gastric sleeve 4 years ago)
This is really helpful and excited to watch your other plant based videos now. Thank you for sharing your journey and beautiful food.
Ah that feeling of not being able to pet your cats!! That's just the worst. I'm so happy to hear you've found what works for you. If only more people knew that this might be an option!
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate the content you produce. T2D has put me on the occasionally-keto meal plan as well. You're doing Great! Please, keep up the good work. 👍 You are absolutely correct about plant-based keto. The best diet is the one that helps you thrive.
You are wonderful on camera. I'm glad you found something that works in controlling your symptoms. I think your recipes looked delicious. Thank you for sharing.
You are too nice! Thank you so much
Wow, this is so informative. Thank you for sharing about the studies you've read. Keep it up 👍👍
Thank you, I will :-)
I am absolutely going to be trying your tofu avocado toast. Looks amazing!!!!!!
Yay! 😊❤️ Enjoy!
Extremely yum...extremely helpful! vegan keto helps my adhd and chronic pain symtoms.
I'm so glad to help! It's so interesting that vegan keto seems to be useful -- I had never heard of it until I started accidentally doing it!
I have noticed so many health benefits between when I'm eating keto vs when I'm not. I'm not vegan, however, I eat a lot of plant based foods and a lot of fiber. Many of the keto recipes I use depend on fiber as a substitute for thickening agents such as starch. I will use plain psyllium powder to thicken soups (go sparingly) and flax seed or oat bran to give texture to breads. I actually get more fiber when one keto than when I'm not.
As far as health, my overall blood panel improved significantly within a couple months. All the major markers such as cholesterol (both LDL and HDL), triglycerides, creatin, bun creatin ratio, hbA1c, etc were within the optimal range for the first time in 20 or 30 years. This was significant, since diabetes management was the main reason for exploring keto.
I've been on a keto diet off and on for 3 years. When I go off everything suffers. Blood sugars go up, pain increases, I get bloated, my acid reflux increases, and overall digestion becomes worse.
So why don't I do it all the time? Well, being blunt about it. It's a pain in the ass. It's not convenient. I cook meals for other people who aren't on keto, so I either fix them keto anyway (okay to do periodically), fix two separate meals or variations of the same meal, or eat what they eat. These choices tend to operate on a sliding scale of how motivated I feel.
One note about the negative studies citing how bad keto is for you: the vast majority you'll find are short term, small population samples, or both; which indicates poor studies that were done quickly to support their own confirmation bias.
Although the keto diet has been popularized recently, it has been around since the mid 20th century. It was developed as a way to treat various medical conditions and it still used for those successfully today. It's show positive results for treating a variety of neurological conditions such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and depression; as well as inflamitory diseases such as fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy in addition to managing HbA1c levels.
All that aside, thank you so much for this chanel. I enjoy your videos so much. They have inspired me to experiment and I am considering a chanel of my own to share the keto recipes and shortcuts that I've developed on my own.
I have seen some vegan keto videos before, and they didn't look as healthy as your food. I believe it was a lot of beyond meat, and minimal vegetables. You actually had a lot of veggies, which was really nice to see. I love that you added your cronometer info as well. :)
Thanks so much, Jen!
Wow... in reading your comments in the description, I'm fascinated by the low fat/depression link. I've just recently stumbled on info about keto for mental health. Truly hoping it helps with this depression because I've tried just about everything known to man and spent a boatload of money to know avail. Thanks for the info!
I truly hope you find what works for you!
Very happy to hear how much your symptoms have improved :) definitely going to try some of these recipe ideas
Thanks so much! :-) Just being able to have a normal length work day has just been incredible for me.
I hope you enjoy the recipe ideas
I’m really excited about that fried rice recipe 😍 looks so good!
Yay! I'm excited that you're excited!
I was a massage therapist for years. I don't know if this will help with something chronic, but the carpal nerve is connected to stuff in your shoulder blad area (path). If you find a good therapist who knows about that stuff (usually working for a chiropractor), they can work on that area for you. It always worked really well for my clients. Just a thought.
Absolutely massage helps when there is a problem. But I don't have any symptoms since sticking to a keto diet for a while now 🤗
I'm so glad you finally found something that works for your tendinitis ❤
Me too!! Totally life-changer! Thanks so much
This was lovely to watch, your approach makes so much sense! I think people are triggered by the mention of keto because they associate it with weight loss and diet culture, but as you say some feel that veganian is also just about weight loss and that's certainly not the case!
Yes, the reaction is strong to any hint of diet culture!
it's so sweet to see you on camera. I've been a fan for years and have always loved your creative foodie content. I work in a bakery and saw some of your keto bread recipes recently which caught my attention. I recently got diagnosed with POS and am trying to navigate how to go about best treating. My doctor told me to follow a low GI and limit snacking, which is just so unlike my current eat-whatever-I-want vegan diet. And, I'm seeing more content about POS and keto, so thinking it might be an option for me. Your meals just look so "normal" and it's great to see. The first video that comes up on youtube for me when searching vegan keto has breakfast as just half an avocado and coffee... which might kill me. Tofu avo toast sounds so much better!
Thanks for the great content and usual and for letting us into your world a little!
avocado and coffee! ahahaha Don't worry, I'll try to share better ideas than that!
Hello, I am new to this channel, and I find it to be absolutely fantastic! Please post recipes for the mozzarella soy curl salad, the keto rice and the vegan furikake! Thank you
coming soon!
Love both you and heavenly fan! So thankful for both of you.
I appreciate that!
5:15 You can easily get the seed out of the avocado half if you chop with a sharp knife on the seed to make it stick to the knife, then turn the knife like the arm of a clock to twist the seed out. But this is most easily done before you have peeled the avocado.
Haha that's how you get "avocado hand"
@@marystestkitchen Oh, I just looked it up, and poor anyone who has cut their hand that way, ouch! I think the trick is to keep your knife really sharp so that you only need a gentle tap to cut into the seed; that way you get much better precision, and if you still miss the seed you will not cut through the avocado. I use the trick all the time and I have never felt that there has been any risk of cutting myself.
@@kristoferkrus lol you'll get by more easily in life if you just assume people know these common practices and have their own reasons why they don't do them ;-)
@@marystestkitchen That's also true! 😊
Mmmm, I love soy curls. I rehydrate them by filling a 12in fry pan half way with water and some Better Than Bouillon (either Not Chicken or Not Beef flavors), bring it to a boil, add the soy curls, reduce heat to a simmer, cook down until there's no broth left, and then let them brown for a bit. When I've just used water there's still a bit of soybean flavor, but I've found this way eliminates that. I never thought about putting them in the air fryer or baking them afterwards though! I'm definitely gonna to need to try that!
I tried vegan Keto once at the recommendation of my doctor and failed... HARD. 😄 This makes me want to try again.
Could be a good subject for a future cook book eh?? 😃😉
Dude, I do not know if I have enough recipes for a cookbook! I really keep it simple whenever I'm doing the keto protocol...though...it's a good idea!
You're going to love air fryer soy curls btw. Honestly pan fried is good too but just having the variety is really nice.
Personally keto freed up my orthorexia. I was vegan before and found out I cannot process plant proteins as well, however I was literally obsessed with the diet. That's all I researched and that's all I talked about. With keto, all I need to worry about is carbs. Not my ideal diet by far, but I have lost 100 pounds with it. Also it lowered my LDL and for the first time in my life my HDL was at a healthy level
so happy for you!!
Mary thank you for sharing your keto recipes and the benefits of keto you have experienced, I really appreciate it.
You are so welcome!
I appreciate your video. I am vegan but my dad isn't and he has Type 1 diabetes and also on cholesterol medication. Meat based keto is the last thing his heart needs, so I watch your videos for ideas on how I can help him still keep his blood sugar in check without raising his cholesterol. He's already had a heart attack so I don't think I'm being extreme. Like you said, vegan keto isn't for everyone, but for some, it's a great option.
I’ve never seen Mary’s actual face before and oh my gosh is she pretty!
Thanks, Mary, for showing the recipes and sharing your personal story! I've been on keto and low-carb diet these past 2 months because of my insulin resistance, which I reversed :) Similar to you, my symptoms were not present at all when i do this diet. My symptom is reactive hypoglycaemia, which was understandably caused by high sugar/carb intake. During these months, I cycle my carb, so there are days (usually weekends) when i eat simple carbs (still no or minimum added sugar), but since the rest of the days my habit supports my stable blood sugar level, I don't find any dizzy spells.
thanks for sharing your story too! I think there's a big misconception that it's just a weight loss fad but in fact, a keto diet is an incredible tool for medical issues!
You go girl! YOU DO YOU!!!
Thanks for sharing this content, Mary! My partner also lives with chronic pain and they were on a strictly keto diet for a couple years, during which they said they had the lowest pain levels of their life, but that the diet was annoying to keep up every day for years. Now they do something similar to you, where they switch into a keto diet when they are having flair-ups and it seems to be working well for them. Glad its working well for you too!!
You're most welcome! Thanks so much for sharing that story. It's so interesting, I hardly ever hear people talk about the anti-inflammatory effect of ketosis and keto diets.
Delicious food and plating! Love that it is all gluten free and delicious. Thank you🌈✨
Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for everything you do. Very informative video.
You are so welcome
My opinion is: You do what you need to do for your body. As for weight loss (I know you said that's not your objective), ketosis *does* assist in weight loss. I mean, ketosis makes the body use fat for fuel, and not muscle and other proteins. That's what ketosis IS.
I love you videos. I'm really looking forward to making the pumpfu. I ordered the ingredients, and a son as I can, Imma make it.
I'm vegan keto for managing my autoimmune condition and also weight loss. I've been plant based low carb for about 7 years now and EVERY SINGLE TIME I start adding more carbs in,(meaning more than 50-60 grams per day) even healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, I start getting flare ups, sick, tired, and gaining weight. I get my labs done, each year, and my cholesterol levels are ALWAYS perfect, I always get enough fiber, my protein levels are high, and there are so many vegan sources of proteins from beans to chia seeds,...I remember one year my doctor told me my protein was TOO high and I needed to lower my protein intake...as a Vegan. At the end of the day there is no one size fits all, and people need to determine what is working for THEIR unique biochemics. Also you are right, there are no specific studies on vegan keto diet, and so much of the information available....but I will say I feel a lot better eating vegan keto, than eating carnivore keto (which I did prior to going plantbased) for so many reasons. You CAN get plenty of fiber in a carnivore keto diet simply by eating vegetables & seeds into your diet....it's not even that difficult, it's even easier when doing Plant based keto. I deeply appreciate your channel, even though some of your most delicious recipes contain gluten and soy which I can't have ....lol.....but I appreciate it all the same!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! May I ask, since you can't have gluten or soy, what are your main protein sources?
I suffer from tendonosis and found this fascinating. I am inspired to see if ketosis may provide relief. I just love your content, recipes, style and frankness. What Keotone test strips do you use?
Sorry I don't have the package anymore but I just bought the ketone test strips from my local drug store. I think they are all the same? I just bought the cheapest ones haha
Hope you can find relief like I did. I just did a full work day: answering comments, editing photos, video, shooting photos and video ... 6 months ago, I could NEVER! Even 4 months ago, it was 4 hours of work tops.
Great great content. What an eye opener. Just heard of chronic tendinitis & Google it up maybe that is what's causing my pain to but not realizing it. Thank you for sharing your experience. Love your experiments and your mindset. New subscriber 😍
Dense carbs flare my arthritis, keto alleviates these flares, full stop. Great video! Thanks
Well I’m living proof keto works is sustainable and reversed my health issues. I am not living in pain. Best health in decades. Hate the super long sponsorship adds but I forward past them. My doctor is supportive of keto
Hi Mary! I have an autoimmune that causes a lot of inflammation and have also had a few bouts of "treatment" keto. I'm not sure if there is any science out there, and I don't really buy the diet for long term lifestyle changes, but every time I get back to it, people just assume and say things like, "oh the first few pounds are just water weight" and then I just cheer internally because YES, THAT IS WHAT I WANT! I WANT THE EXTRA GONE. IT HURTS. Also the foodie in me loves kitchen tinkering. Restrictions almost become a fun challenge or game, like give me the allergies, give me your food sensitivities and I can still make yummy food for you (or just myself).
haha right? By now EVERYONE and their mother knows the first bit is water weight. And sometimes that's a good thing too!
I’ve been curious about plant based keto. I think I’m on the road to Type 2 diabetes so hopefully it would do me good. I’ll be trying these out :) pls keep the ideas coming! ✨
I will! Thanks so much for watching :-)
Reduce your carbs and sugar content.
I think Vegan YT is keeping the Butler Foods company afloat through the pandemic era, LOL! I briefly cooked a vegan keto diet for personal chefing clients of mine, and became fascinated by the fact that it's more feasible than the gross non-vegan version and seems to require less stringency to achieve ketosis (a thing the gross version adherents HATE to hear). I wish you good luck with quelling the inflammation for longer periods, Mary, as I know how badly losing the ability to do manipulative activities can suck. Thanks for posting!
LOL weird that the plant-based way is seems easier! But then again, when you look at the rainbow, it's just more attractive :-) Thanks so much for your kind words as always
More power to you. It’s your keto diet and there are no rules!
You are the nicest vegan person on YT. Btw, I have same air fryer. ❤️❤️
Oh thank you! Btw, in case you didn't know yet, this air fryer has been recalled. Go to www.recall.cosori.com/ to see if your exact model has been recalled.
Where have you been all my vegan life?? ❤❤ Subscribed!!!
thanks so much!
Hi again Mary. As you can tell, I've found your channel recently. I love your approach and how you so generously share what works for you and make it accessible for the rest of us. Brava Girl! Now the soy curl thing. I'm intrigued. Once again, do you know where I can source here in Calgary. I'd like to try them. I'm looking more from an anti-inflammatory diet approach. Thanks again. J
Homey Foods! If you haven't tried them before she's a great source because she makes small packs of them. Also she carries other soy chuck products (I still like the butler's soy curls best).
Thanks so much for the kind comment :-)
Thanks so much for sharing your health journey! it's so helpful and inspiring!
So glad to see that you have found something that works for you ❤️
Thanks! I had almost given up hope at being able to have a regular length work day like a normal person tbh
I wish i has found your channel earlier. I wanted to be vegan and use keratosis to manage T1D a while back, but the only people trying it were gymbros selling protein powder and snake oil instead of eating wholesome foods like i wanted.
What a beautiful and coming voice you have! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Thank you for finally posting a simple delicious keto vegan fried rice!
You're very welcome!
I'm back on fruit based because of health issue as well. I know that is criticized harshly nowadays as well. However, I don't care what you eat. I find your meals all look yummy and theyre inspiring. I too keep a balance by allowing myself to eat things I crave and love to be able to have my family join in on a plant based meal 😋
Thanks for the kind words. I agree the social aspect of food is something we simply don't need to be giving up!
Thank You❤. Greetings from Slovenija, EU
I really liked how you explained everything here about your diet (plus you're always so calm and sassy at the same time - I love your videos in general), and also (to be honest) how very un-keto your vegan keto diet is (because technically there's a LOT of carbs in vegan protein). 😃
Vegan keto is probably pretty safe when done as you do it (so with a good solid brain and a lot of home cooking!!!) - where real keto is and should stay a temporary fix done under strict medical monitoring.
Also I read that you said in a comment that you ended up realising that removing your trigger foods made you keto, instead of you deciding to be keto out of the blue, and that's the most sensible thing I've read about diet changes too.
And I'm there with you: wheat kills me (not gluten, not the same thing) so I eat as little as possible, knowing that whenever I do crave some good old pastas I'm going to regret it for days. It's my choice as a vegan adult with an excellent diet but suffering from chronic pain to sometimes remove or sometimes eat trigger foods, and I deal with the consequences.
All in all, I think your diet is pretty close to mine (what with me avoiding wheat), I just eat rice twice a week and a bit of bread during the weekend because it's part of my culture (Jewish people love their Challah bread for Shabbat). Funny that! 🤩
I wish you all the best with it, and hopefully your pain levels will stay manageable. Thanks for your video and recipes as always (ps: if you've got an idea on how to do your amazing donuts without wheat I'm interested haha).
Thanks, Alex! Totally agree my diet doesn't sound too far removed from yours either. I would be a magician if I could make wheat-free donuts though. My GOSH. Someone will eventually, I bet.
Wow! I just found your channel and I love this video. I have been high carb vegan for a long time but it’s just not serving me well. Going to try this low carb vegan approach❤️🥑🫐🫒🥗❤️
You got this!
So happy that you found something that works for you ❤️
Thanks! It's honestly been life-changing
You were absolutely right about me to being great for short term health for certain conditions. It isn’t supposed to be used for long term diet. But plant based should be 100% better in general. And I could ramble on. It doesn’t help that holistic health is my life lol
Thanks for adding to the conversation. Tbh, I don't know what it would be long term. Could I possible get the pain from the minimal amount I feel today to...zero? Or is that pure fantasy at this point? lol
@@marystestkitchen Zero is totally possible, I believe but for sure I can only advise anti inflammatory herbs be added in very small amounts daily to your meals. Like turmeric and organic if possible is always best.
@@JollyGoodJewWitch ah good ol' turmeric. I used to take it but the effect is just so mild and over the years I've become so adverse to the flavour, I no longer bother.
I had a stroke which has affected my left hand/arm/shoulder mostly. Doing anything with both of my hands together (like tying shoes or a lot of cooking tasks) is exhausting. I was a vegan chef before the stroke, so not being able to cook and prep, like I used to, is annoying. As you know, when your hands don't work, it limits a lot of things. I"m glad you figured out a way to help get your tendonitis under control.
Sorry to hear that. You're completely right; it affects everything. I hope you can regain what you've lost.
I appreciate your content and totally agree. It was really interesting. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Mary! Check out Heavenly Fan. She has been Vegan Keto for about 4 years. Also, The Diet Doctors channel touches on doing Vegan Keto. Then, there is Dr Eric Berg, and Dr Sten Ekberg. I'm sure there are more for any of your viewers that are interested. Thank you for sharing today Mary.
Thanks, Becky! I'm a huge fan of Heavenly Fan
24:27 When you're so vegan that you can recognize the vegan meat brand just by its looks (Gardein. This is Gardein).
Right on the money!
More minerals in my body helps me with chronic pain. I do a lot red blood building protocal and reducing sugar and carbs, while increasiing herbs and greens. My hands and knees are much better. I am still working at it.
I hope these words help someone.
❤😊❤
I love black rice (the forbidden rice tasr great). I mix it with broccoli rice and cauliflower rice. Brown rice is overwhelming to me!
I’m gonna eat more soy curls! Question, if I make my own cauliflower rice, can I make more than one serving at a time? And if yes, best way to store them? Don’t worry about those negative comments, people need to take your wonderful ideas and convert them to their needs. Also, I get crazy bitter tongue from pine nuts, which is sad because they are delicious. What would you substitute for pine nuts? I try to keep low fat because I have crazy high blood lipids. Right now my triglycerides are 500, so I should try to lower my carbs. I’m only 125lbs and not diabetic and don’t drink alcohol, but my doctor put me on fish oil to try to lower my triglycerides, but I hate to have an animal product back in my diet. I’m thinking of trying to be a bit more vegan keto and see if that helps. Your videos will be a big help for me
Yay for soy curls!
Yes, you can make cauliflower rice in advance. I usually make a whole head and then store it in tupperware in the fridge. Put a paper towel in the box to absorb condensation. I try to use up in 3 or 4 days though. I haven't tried freezing but I think that could work too.
Instead of pine nuts, try pecans or macadamia. They are so over the top delicious especially when you pan toast them yourself.
Hope your health improves!
Very interesting! Is the tendinitis an autoimmune thing? I have just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I'm on a whole plant based elimination diet, which has already worked wonders in a few weeks, it has a focus on gut healing but cuts out all fats and allows some carbs I wouldn't necessarily expect based on other cleanse diets or autoimmune protocols I am aware of. I don't know that much of the theory behind it but it is working. I have also been very interested in trying vegan keto and I like how you use this in your own way for a specific purpose and it works for you, that's awesome! I have looked up videos before and not found a lot on the subject or for ideas. It's polar opposite of how I'm eating right now, I'm not having soy either. I might have to try at some point. I intermittent fast so think it could be the right way to get into ketosis. Thank you, very interesting 😊
Sometimes it is but I don't really know about mine. Intermittent fasting is totally a way to experience ketosis without changing your diet. That's actually how I figured out what ketosis actually feels like and the effect on my tendonitis. The inflammation came back soon after breaking my fasts though (until I started the low carb thing)
will have to try a couple of these, they look good!!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy, Elisa!
I'm watching your video to get an idea what to eat. Last month, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I stopped eating rice, bread, pasta, sugary drinks, processed food and fast food. I recently got a blood test and uric acid is high, need to avoid eating red meat and seafood. I don't know what to eat anymore, I don't want to eat rice or bread cause I'm avoiding blood sugar spike.
Hope this helps! More videos with recipes like this to come...
