:-)
I've been working hard over the last few months so that I can finally put together a vegetarian keto diet
plan! Meeting the macronutrient targets proved to be a real challenge. Although there are several
vegetarian recipes on my blog, not all are sufficient in protein.
vary based on your activity and lifestyle - make sure you know your ideal "average" protein intake.
2. If you only cook for yourself, freeze or refrigerate the remaining servings or halve the
recipes if needed (e.g. freeze half of the Vegetarian Keto Lasagna for next week - see the
meal plan).
3. Prepare the keto buns in advance (you can make the full recipe of 10). Freeze to keep fresh
and defrost at room temperature the night before or in the oven just before serving.
4. Have some hard-boiled eggs in the fridge ready to be used in recipes or for snacking. You
shouldn't need any snacks between the meals but if you do, make sure you have some
keto-friendly snacks at hand (eggs, cheese, nuts, etc). Here is a list of snacks you can try
and here is a complete keto diet food list.
5. Very low-carb diets (below 20 grams of net carbs) are often deficient in magnesium. I
recommend you take magnesium supplements or add snacks high in magnesium such as
nuts. Also, if you get any symptoms of "keto-flu", make sure you eat additional sodium (I use
pink Himalayan salt.)
6. This diet plan may not be suitable for everyone. You may have to make small adjustments.
If you need to have less protein, reduce the portions of dairy and eggs. Don't worry about
small excess of protein, it will not kick you out of ketosis. In fact, protein will keep hunger at
bay. If you need to add more fat (or less), focus on added oils and fatty foods when making
your adjustments. You can find your ideal macros using KetoDiet Buddy. If you need to add
snacks and more food to serve with the meals, have a look at this list.
7. Some recipes are higher in total carbs & fibre. If you fear that fibre will impair your weight
loss, have a look at my post here: Total Carbs or Net Carbs: What Really Counts? Fibre can,
in fact, help you lose weight. Body responses vary and you will need to try what works best
for you.
8. Lastly, if you don't feel hungry, don't eat, even if it means you will skip a meal.
You can download your weekly SHOPPING LIST for both weeks.
And here is a quick overview of this diet plan in PDF. Although it's just a quick
preview of the diet plan, we've been working on a complete ebook including recipes
so stay tuned! :-)
Also see more diet plans here ("regular" ketogenic diet plan, keto & paleo diet plan
and diet plan for the fat fast.)
If you use the KetoDiet iPad App, you can add these meals directly from my blog to the planner. If
you don't have an iPad, just print this plan out. The good news is that we have been working on a
universal app to bring the planning feature to the iPhone too! Also, there will be an Android app
coming soon after :-)

Recipe Substitutions:
If you don't like certain ingredients or are intolerant to certain foods, here are options you can try:
If you don't eat dairy, you can use coconut milk instead of cream or more eggs instead of
cheese. You can also try my dairy-free 7-Day Grab & Go Keto/Paleo Diet Plan. However,
this diet plan is not vegetarian.
Instead of a Keto Bun: 1 Low-carb Bagel or a 1-2 slices of Low-Carb "Rye" Bread or these
buns (no psyllium) or Nut-free Keto Buns
All the following can be substituted with one another (small nutritional differences):
Chocolate Keto Smoothie or Vanilla Keto Smoothie or Pumpkin Smoothie or Leprechaun
Protein Smoothie
You can try other breakfast options like pancakes and waffles or granola but I've tried to
keep the sweet meals to a minimum and include only quick breakfast meals, especially for
Using these alternatives won't significantly change the nutrition facts. However, keep in mind that the
shopping list is created without using any substitutions.
