#41 Plant-Powered Revolution: Saving Health, Wealth, and the World
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Welcome to this episode of The Keto Vegan podcast with Rachel, where she explores the intersection of health, sustainability, and mindful living. In this episode, she delves into three pivotal topics shaping our world today. First, Rachel uncovers the staggering potential for societal change: if everyone in the UK adopted a plant-based diet, it could save the NHS a staggering £6.7 billion annually. Then, she navigates the intricate landscape of nutrition, unveiling how plant-based proteins offer superior health benefits compared to certain carcinogenic animal proteins. Finally, Rachel confronts the urgent reality of our planet's fate, discussing the critical two-year timeline we have to enact meaningful change. Join Rachel as she unravels these pressing issues and discover how embracing a keto vegan lifestyle can pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable future.
Key Takeaways
Two years to save the world’: UN climate chief pleads for funding
How to save the NHS 6.7bn a year
Going plant-based can reduce Type 2 Diabetes and certain cancers
Prevention is better than cure
For every million people going vegan the anticipated reduction in illness could save the NHS £121m
Diets high in animal protein specifically can be harmful for gut health and may even raise the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease.
The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer)
Processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer.
Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen which means it probably causes cancer.
If you’ve had cancer, maintaining a healthy diet can help prevent it from coming back?
A “quantum leap” in financeis vital to help countries speed up plans to cut planet-cooking emissions.
“When I say we have two years to save the world, it begs the question – who exactly has two years to save the world?” he said. “The answer is every person on this planet.” Simon Stiell
“The only surefire way to get climate at the top of the cabinet agenda is if enough people raise their voices. So my final message today is for ordinary people everywhere. Every voice matters. Yours have never been more important.” Simon Stiell

#40 Buzzworthy Bites: Navigating the Avocado Vegan Controversy
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
In this episode Rachel, having been asked a number of times if she’s actually vegan because she has bought an avocado, thought it was time to explore the issue and create an episode to answer questions such as these:
are almonds and avocados vegan?
can vegans eat avocado?
do vegans eat avocados?
how are avocados not vegan?
why aren’t avocados vegan?
why is veganism so associated with avocados?
fellow vegans do you purchase and consume avocados?
For a keto-vegan avocados are an excellent choice of food because their nutritional values, per 100g, are:
fat 19.5, carbs 2.9, protein 1.9 fibre 3.4. They also include 485 mg of potassium, vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin E, and magnesium.
Find out how Rachel thinks we can change the world; if she remembers the first time she ever had some avocado; and whether she does or does not buy them.
It is claimed that avocados have been blamed for driving millennials to the brink of financial ruin, (this links to an Australian article claiming that eating Avocados on toast is costing millennials the price of a house deposit! Take this article with a pinch of salt I feel!)
Avocados also then became a health hazard with the proliferation of “avocado hand” injuries (caused by sloppy attempts to remove the pit with a chef’s knife).
Finally, and Rachel thinks this is the biggest controversy QI asked that fateful question around avocados not being vegan.
The Vegan Society, who created the word ‘vegan’ and ‘veganism’ states the definition of being a vegan: "is a way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ... In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals." In an ideal world, we would live entirely independent of animals, and would not take advantage of their natural processes. But the definition acknowledges that it is not possible for every individual to completely avoid all forms of exploitation.
Because many crops, in the mass quantity needed, are difficult to cultivate naturally, they rely on bees which are taken, in their hives, on backs of trucks, long distances across California, USA. This is known as migratory bee-keeping. It is an unnatural use of animals.

#39 Carbs on Hold: My Keto Vegan Move
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
In this shorter episode Rachel gets a bit anecdotal as she is moving from her house and shares a bit of her story, going back to 2007. Way back then, after the separation from her husband, she and her three children (ages 9 to 12) moved in with her dad in a quirky place on the beach (the garden backed on to the pebbles on the beach) for six months or so before she moved to Chichester, West Sussex. Back then she was neither vegan nor keto and did all the cooking for her children and her dad. Roll on to 2021 and her Dad suggests that they buy a place together. Rachel, at that time, was single (and seems to be forever that way!) and decided that may be a good idea, especially as her father was getting more and more frail.
However, things were very different this time and her father really turned his nose up at her vegan food so she was unable to cook for them both – Rachel won’t cook meat, in fact, Rachel would prefer if no animal products came in the house at all!
Find out how things turned out and find out a little bit about her mother’s attitude to Rachel’s food too.

#37 Plant-Powered Showdown: Vegan vs. Meat Myths Exposed!
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
In this episode Rachel delves into the world of veganism with a fresh perspective.
As a passionate advocate for animal rights, she is very aware that she is biased towards a plant based diet. But, she also believes in the power of informed decisions. That's why she encourages you to do your own research and question everything, including, if not especially, her own opinions.
Sure, there are critics out there who point to supposed health concerns associated with veganism. But armed with evidence and research, we'll navigate through the myths and misconceptions. From concerns about micronutrient deficiencies to the benefits of supplementation, we'll separate fact from fiction.
Key Takeaways:
Rachel looks at ‘risks of following a vegan diet’ and the risks of eating meat.
Rachel likes to look for evidence and research.
The main criticisms of a vegan diet are the lack of micronutrients such as Vit B12, Vit D, Iron, Omega 3. All of these things can be supplemented by supplements!
All links to articles are at the bottom of these show notes.
Best Moments:
I definitely encourage you to do your own research
I am going to be biased about this!
As a vegan for the animals, I don’t like looking at the negatives of living this way and eating this way because there is no way that I want to eat animal products ever again.
It’s really good for me, really challenging, but really good for me to look at this.
Sausages – I didn’t know they were lean!
Please don’t give up on your vegan diet though, stick with me – I will give you hope!
Some people are really upset about how processed this food (vegan proteins) is.

#36 Crumbs of Contention: Exploring Keto Vegan Bread
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Welcome to another episode of our podcast, where today we're diving into the world of homemade bread, specifically exploring the intriguing combination of keto and vegan baking. Is it worth the effort? Well, let's find out.
In this episode, we embark on a journey to craft two different types of bread rolls: one straightforward and the other a tad more complex. However, as our adventure unfolds, it becomes apparent that these creations might not live up to the expectations of traditional bread enthusiasts.
The first batch falls short, with a texture and taste that leave much to be desired. Despite diligently following the recipe, there are moments of doubt as the dough doesn't quite behave as expected. Yet, undeterred, we press on.
With the second batch, there's a glimmer of hope. The larger rolls show promise, offering a better texture and flavour profile. However, it's clear that these keto vegan alternatives still fall short of replicating the beloved bread we reminisce about from our carb-eating days.
So, join us as we navigate the highs and lows of homemade breadmaking, pondering the “age-old” question: is keto vegan bread worth it?
Best Moments:
Second 6 rolls were better – no way near the same as bread bread. You’ve got to be desperate to want these!
They are curdling a little bit!
I’m not doing the Rachel type thing and chucking stuff in – I’m following the recipe!
Not what I was hoping for!
Here’s the dollop of dough from the second ones
I’m going to assume they’re not going to rise that much
The second bread rolls, the bigger ones, were much nicer than the first ones.
If you’re hoping to have keto vegan bread and it taste like the bread you remember from those days that you used to eat carbs - seriously disappointed!
Ingredients
The most disappointing bread rolls:
Egg replacement – Orgran No Egg, Egg Replacer 3 egg whites, 1 egg converts 2 tsp of egg replacer and 5 tbs water.
25g almond flour
30g coconut flour
1tbs psyllium husk
1sp baking powder
Sesame seeds
salt
60ml hot water.
The not quite as disappointing bread rolls:
2cups almond flour
¼ cup psyllium flour
¼ cup coconut flour
2tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
4 large eggs – replacement 5 egg equivalent
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
1tbs cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 175 degrees c

#35 Embrace & Empower: Breaking Free from Judgement
Thursday Mar 07, 2024
Thursday Mar 07, 2024
In this episode of the Keto Vegan, we delve into a transformative journey centred around the mantra: "Don't Judge." In this episode, we explore the profound notion that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.
Rachel shares a personal journey of sudden transformation towards plant-based living and veganism, highlighting the challenges faced in understanding and embracing those who may not yet grasp this lifestyle choice. Through introspection and growth, it becomes clear that forcing change upon others only breeds resistance. True change must come from within.
We’re reminded to be patient, kind and loving, both to ourselves and others. By releasing the shackles of self-judgment, we unlock the capacity to see beyond surface differences and connect on a deeper level. Through insightful breathing exercises and reflective questions, we learn to embrace ourselves fully, quirks and all.
Moreover, the podcast delves into the importance of navigating relationships with those we may not naturally click with, emphasizing the value of kindness, respect, and inclusivity. Each individual has the right to be treated with compassion and empathy, regardless of differences in opinion or perspective.
Join us as we embark on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and genuine connection. It's time to let go of judgment and embrace the beauty of diversity and understanding.
Best Moments:
Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.
My transformation to plant based and veganism was intense, I’ve had to learn a lot how to be kind to people who don’t get it yet.
When people are forced to change their minds, they’re not going to.
We have to find the way ourselves.
Everybody is doing the best they can with what they’ve got.
Most of us ate meat … until we got ready to change,
Be patient, be kind, be loving.
Stop judging yourself. When we stop judging ourself, something magical happens and we stop judging others.
Key Takeaways
Put your hand on your heart, close your eyes and say to yourself:
what is it like to be me when I’m not judging myself?
What is it like to be me when I don’t judge myself?
Do this over and again for 10 to 15 minutes.

#33 The Power of the Mind: Maintaining Your Keto Vegan Journey
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
Sticking with any lifestyle change can be tough, and the keto vegan path is no exception. But don't worry, fellow plant-powered keto adventurer! In this episode, we delve into the mind-body connection and explore powerful tools like hypnotherapy, affirmations, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help you unlock inner strength, overcome challenges, and stay motivated on your keto vegan journey.
And don’t forget to share your own experiences and questions with me!
Key Takeaways:
Dieting is not about the food you eat – it is all about your thinking. Hypnotherapy can really help get your head into the diet. Rachel is a qualified Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and has created a trance you can listen to. Link below.
Happiness is all about what’s inside. “Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.” Deepak Chopra
Rachel talks about Affirmations and Afformations (no, that’s not a typo!)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a very helpful method to support you in breaking free from anything in your life you want to change. Rachel recommends a audio book by Jessica Ortner that she found very helpful. Link below.
