#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.
Best Moments:• “It’s a work in progress.”• “Eating food for me has always been an issue. That’s how I found the keto diet.”• “Food has been my love, my comfort, ... but it’s knowing that food doesn’t love you, food is just nutrition”• “We need to find where that pain is, that lack is, and fill it with something much healthier.”• “Our thoughts aren’t real, they’re just thoughts.”• “Meditation, mindfulness is absolutely crucial.”• “You don’t have to do the work, I’m doing the work for you.”

#31 Carb Chronicles & Fasting Feats: Navigating the Keto diet!
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
In today’s episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast, Rachel talks about carbs and intermittent fasting. She’ll be diving into the world of carbs, what they do to our bodies, how they fit into a keto diet and how many we can eat on a keto diet. She then talks about how to introduce intermittent fasting and what health benefits there are to this.
Key Takeaways
The keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet that aims to put your body into a state of ketosis.
Your keto diet can be broken down into percentages of fat, protein and carbs. Carbs 5-10%; Protein 20-35%; Fat 60-75%
When in ketosis your body burns fat instead of carbs for fuel.
Fiber is a type of carb that your body cannot digest, so it does not affect your blood sugar or ketosis. Fiber also helps you feel full and supports your digestive health.
Counting calories doesn’t work – our focus needs to be on metabolic fitness.
The 5-1-1 method. Fast for 5 days 15-17 hours, fast for one day for 18 hours and take one day off
Best Moments
“With the keto diet your body stays in fat-burning mode.”
“When you are choosing carbs on this diet, choose the ones that are high in fibre.”
“Counting calories doesn’t work.”
“There’s a great thing about being a fat burner… Our bodies are better designed to be fat burners.”
“… insane mental clarity!”
