Vegan-keto recipe, Moroccan beet soup with delicious spices.

I recently read the book Ketotarian. This book about the vegan-keto lifestyle by Will Cole describes following a (mainly) plant-based diet. He is convinced that this is the best for your health. He himself has been a vegan for years and that did not bring him the health he aspired to and he has been treating patients for years as specialized doctors in 'functional medicines.'

In his book 'ketotarian', Cole's describes an approach that makes your body work most efficiently: fat burning, anti-aging and it even benefits from the health of your brain.

Personally, I find it too difficult to stick to a fully vegan and low-carb diet. When I go into the kitchen and I see those delicious roti pancakes in my drawer, I have completely forgotten about the low-carb :-). I do believe in his theory 'healthy eating, not too much, and mainly plants'. So let's work with some ketotarian recipes with fresh ingredients and self-ground spices like I prefer to make my own food.

      • 1 tbsp coconut oil
      •  
      • 1 leek in rings
      • 1 onion in coarse pieces
