Not too long ago I had some sort of conflict with tofu. After years of consuming it, I convinced myself that it was unhealthy and proceeded to avoid. Due to my over information overload from many sources about the subject about soy, I decided half heartily to call it quits. However, since "going keto" my dormant affection for this soy protein has been abruptly awakened.

Perhaps the circumstances have changed and while progressing into a keto diet I now look to my old companion to fill my low carb protein need. What a trusty friend this mighty soybean is. Of course, I choose organic non-gmo whenever possible.

As I approach my 1st full week of maintaining a novice's attempt to a vegan keto diet, I can't help but be grateful for how much I learned and seen within myself. As a self-adorned "carb queen", I was anticipating an internal counter strike from my reactive moodiness called "hanger." Well, as a complete surprise it appears that my hangeriness has pulled out a white flag and has given up. It turns out, my battle tactics of fueling myself with fat instead of insulin spiking carbohydrates has allowed me to overcome a habitual destructive emotion. Who would have thought?

I too go back and forth about tofu. I still eat it since it is the only vegan protein substitute offered at most my local restaurants.

Keto is great. I also suggest that you look into the OMAD (One Meal A Day) diet. It’s been working wonders for me.

I've been doing intermitted fasting for 1 week 3 meals no snacking 16/8 with Keto. Slowly I'll progress to a shorter eating window and cutting back a meal. Who knows... maybe one day I'll also be a OMADer like yourself!

That's amazing you're doing OMAD. What are the big differences you feel since eating only one meal? :)

Congrats!

OMAD provides me with so much.

Increased free time.
More flexibility on what I can eat.
Super Boosted testosterone & hgh after 22 hrs.
My self control is at an all time high.
Every meal is like thanksgiving.
More too I’m sure.

I’m already a healthy weight, but I assume that if I wasn’t then I’d lose weight very quickly. I’ve axtualky gained about 5 lbs since eating OMAD.

I suggest you check out Conscious Calisthenics on YouTube. Is OMAD info is top notch.
Any questions are welcome too.

That's so great! I'm glad you're seeing and feeling so many benefits! Maybe someday but for me it's one step at a time!! Cheers!!! :))))
