What is Ketogenic Diet?

Theketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates - Source Wiki.

How does Keto Diet work?

The key with any keto diet is to trigger the process called ketosis. It's actually a process to force your body to utilize the excess fat as energy instead of carbohydrates.

On the contrary, the logic should be that anything high in fat or protein but low in carbs can be considered a keto food since that will trigger the ketosis process.

What foods should you strictly AVOID while on Keto?

  • Legumes or Beans: chickpeas, lentils, green peas, kidney beans, etc.
  • Root vegetableslike potatoes, yam, sweet potatoes, carrots, beetroot, etc.
  • Grains and Cerealslike whole-wheat products like bread, pasta or crackers, rice, barley, millet, semolina, bulgur, oatmeal, cereal, etc.
  • Fruit: all fruits, except avocado and moderate portions of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
  • Sugar or Sweetenerslike carbonated drinks, sweets, fruit juice, pastries, smoothies, ice cream, candy, chocolates, jaggery, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave, dates, etc.
  • Unhealthy Fats: processed vegetable oils, trans fat, etc
  • Alcohol: beer, wine, liquor, or cocktails
  • Sugar-free diet foods: sugar-free chocolates, sweeteners, syrups, puddings, desserts, etc.

What foods to eat on Keto?

  • Eggs: local, pastured, or omega-3 whole eggs.
  • Low Carb Veggies: cauliflower, french beans, broccoli, mushrooms, bottle gourd, brinjals (eggplant), zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, green leaves like spinach, kale, tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc.
  • Butter and Cream:grass-fed butter, heavy cream, coconut cream. Peanut butter, almond butter are also a good option.
  • Cheese: unprocessed cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, cottage cheese (paneer), goat, cream cheese or, blue
  • Nuts and Seeds: almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, etc.
  • Healthy Oils: extra virgin olive oil, clarified butter (ghee), coconut oil, and avocado oil
  • Sweeteners: stevia, erythritol, xylitol, monk fruit
  • Avocados: Whole avocados or homemade guacamole
  • Condiments: salt, pepper, herbs, and Indian spices

How to follow an Indian Vegan Keto diet

Designing an Indian Keto diet plan for vegans may be a little complicated, but some options are still open.

Soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, nuts (almonds, walnuts, peanuts), and seeds (such as flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds) are good options to include in your diet, other than vegetables.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician, so please don't take any of this as medical advice. One must only go on a Keto diet after consultation with an expert or doctor.

My husband tried the Keto diet for a considerable amount of time & his weight loss was very, very evident. Many of my friends asked what Indian food is, keto, So I wanted to document the recipes and share them. The collection below is the Keto diet for Indian vegetarians without eggs recipes.

There are many types of Keto diet, namely Strict (clean) keto, Dirty keto, and Lazy keto. So my husband followed the Lazy keto diet where it is a less restrictive option than a standardketo diet for tracking macronutrients. This could help someone lower their carbohydrate intake and potentiallylose weight.

I have taken the liberty to share certain keto alternatives for some recipes shared below, which may not be completely keto compliant. This prevents people from getting overwhelmed when they switch to a Keto diet plan. This is left to the individual's preferred keto diet choice as we know there are multiple types of ketogenic diets available. So stick to what suits your diet plan.

I promise to keep updating this collection with more delicious recipes.
