    7 Weeks Vegan Keto - My Results

    by romylondonuk | Leave a Comment

    If I am completely honest, those 7 weeks actually already ended in August, but what can I say - life gets busy and gets into the way of updating you here right away 😉

    Before I go into the results I just want to remind you that these are simply my results - they can be completely different for someone else and as previously mentioned, please consult your GP before starting a Ketogenic diet - if not done right, it can do more harm than good.

    Weightloss through vegan keto

    During my first two weeks of Keto the weight simply fell off me (nearly literally!) about 4 kg were already gone, but I was realistic that probably most of it has just been water  - which you usually lose first when starting a diet.

    After that sudden weight drop, the weight pretty much stayed the same for a while and only very slowly moved further down.

    After 7 weeks I have lost a total of 5.7kg - and they have also stayed off after going off the Keto, so I am sure it is now safe to say that this weight has actually gone off my hips and was not just water 😉

    I have since also stayed with the same breakfast option - as I really figured that I absolutely love coconut yogurt with frozen berries and topped with nut butter. (Absolute yum!)

    My vegan keto results after 7 weeks

    Weight: -5.7kg

    Of course, weight does not always show actual weight loss / fat loss, so I decided to also track my measurements during the keto time, to have a better picture of my progress

    Right Arm: -1cm

    Left Arm: -2cm

    Waist: -7.5cm

    Hip: -7cm

    Right Thigh: -5cm

    Left Thigh: -3cm

    Chest: -1cm

    Going off keto

    One thing was sure to me from the beginning: going straight off the keto and back to my old 'normal' was definitely a no-go. I am sure you have heard of this mistake and main reason why people yo-yo so much after going on a diet? Yup, but not me - I had told myself.

    The plan was to slowly transition back into eating more and more carbs, however, I left the processed carbs such as sugar and also pasta completely out of my diet until this day. Instead, I started introducing more and more veggies again, whilst reducing the fat content and protein, so more fruits and veggies (yay!)

    I have to admit I missed eating as many veggies and fruits as I wanted during keto, so I was more than happy to slowly transition. Week by week I increased my carb intake, but one of the first things I did was stopping to count all calories. After 7 weeks I feel that I had really gotten to the point of having a good eye for the right portion size throughout the day.

    From more veggies and fruits I started eating something 'carby' once a day after about 2 weeks, such as Cous Cous, Quinoa or Brown Rice, which works very well for me and hey - the weight has all stayed off and has not come back on yet.

    Conclusion

    Through the Keto diet I have figured that a low carb diet seems to work better for my body - and no, I'm not saying carbs are a bad thing 😉 Our bodies simply need it to function normally, but the amount of carbs that work well for us, can be different for each and everyone of us.

    Throughout the years I have had a lot of hormonal imbalances - which mainly result in skin issues and also anxiety. During the keto I have had much more clear skin than ever since before my teenage years. When I transitioned off the Keto and had a piece of chocolate, I immediately got a breakout again - so I feel it is safe to say that refined sugar is definitely 'not my thing' and in my eyes not worth it, if it results in these skin issues 😉
