Keto as a Vegetarian/Pescatarian
The Keto diet is a very popular diet. I have followed it for a few years now. When I first started keto, my mom, who was vegetarian, wondered how she could follow it also.
As a vegetarian, it can be difficult following a low carb, ketogenic diet due to the fact that vegetarians turn towards beans and legumes to replace meat.
My Pescatarian Keto Cookbook
My new cookbook, Pescatarian Keto, is geared towards those who live the Pescatarian diet and want to follow keto, or you may be following keto and looking to approach it in a different way. Either way, it is a delicious way to approach a healthy eating lifestyle!
There is also a 14 day meal plan including a shopping list to help you get started burning fat and boosting your health. You will also find information on how to get started and what to eat while following the Pescatarian Keto diet.
