Ketosis weight loss diet for vegetarians?
I am trying to start a ketosis diet to lose weight but I am a vegetarian. What are some good foods that I could eat? I read egg whites and cheese are good and protein powder, but no nuts. My main protein income is usually nuts and beans. Are beans still ok? And it says to up the fat intake. I only get about 5% of the daily fat as it is and barley lose weight. Uping the fat doens’t make sense.. How would that help me lose weight? I do not want to take meds or anything to induce ketosis.

Beans are too high in carbs to throw you into ketosis (unless you’re hardcore at working out).
If you are really looking for the best weight loss diet, I suggest doing what this mom did, combining the Acai diet with a cleansing program for the best diet result

You don’t need a diet, you need a LIFESTYLE CHANGE: Eat less, move more. Eat four to six meals a day with breakfast being the largest and dinner the smallest. Eat the majority of your calories earlier in the day. Avoid sodas and junk foods.

A ketogenic diet should only be done by bodybuilders before a show, and only if that bodybuilder knows that s/he benefits from a ketogenic diet. This is not a permanent dietary change for the bodybuilder, but rather something to do for no more than 8 weeks at a time, and only pre-contest as it usually inhibits gains in size, strength, and overall appearance (the muscles tend to look flat instead of full).
Having said this, there is simply no reason you should be on a ketogenic diet. None. Even if you weren’t a vegetarian I’d tell you the same thing. Eat properly and exercise. That’s all it takes. Honest. Really. I lost about 100lbs in about 10 months and I did it consuming about DOUBLE the carbs as I did protein.
