At first glance, this may seem healthy, but at second glance it is simply too much for our pancreas and the associated insulin production. The constant “firing up” with high amounts of carbohydrates means that the body is constantly busy producing insulin and thus the blood sugar level is constantly running at full speed. The result: the body is constantly trying to get rid of the added glucose and thus has no chance to burn its stored fat cells. A dilemma, because unfortunately the permanent carbohydrate consumption in turn leads to a feeling of hunger… Fortunately, there is a simple way out of this vicious circle (also for non-vegans/vegetarians):

The ketogenic diet paired with sufficient exercise and intermittent fasting!

Okaaayyy… but ketogenic and vegan – so that contradicts itself completely. Or don’t they?

Nina: Now I actually have to smile a little, because this question is almost a classic! No wonder, because the classic ketogenic diet is always associated with high meat and fish consumption at the same time. Admittedly, meat and fish are often the main source of animal protein in the classic ketogenic diet. But ketogenic also means eating high-quality good fats and lots of healthy low-starch vegetables and fruit in moderation. So it’s actually perfect for vegan or vegetarian people.

The only problem is that replacing animal proteins with vegetable proteins does not work 1:1. Vegetable proteins, such as soy, deliver far too much nitrogen waste and thus deprive our body of the possibility of preferentially using fatty acids and ketone bodies for combustion. This is counterproductive as far as the desired effect is concerned – because unfortunately it tends to achieve the opposite!

At this point, however, there is a super-simple solution: Vegan amino acids such as those contained in our MyAMINO ®. There, 99% of the amino acids can be utilised by the body at just 0.4 kcl per piece and 1% nitrogen waste. I know that for many this is dry matter and not tangible, so perhaps a brief example: As a 24 to 39-year-old woman with an office job, little physical exertion and the desire to lose weight, I would actually have to eat 2.3 kg of tofu to achieve the same protein utilisation capacity of 20 pieces of MyAMINO®. Not to mention the calories and the fact that you can’t lose weight with such immense amounts of tofu.

But of course, the rest of the diet and exercise must also be coordinated, and this also applies to non-vegans! The great thing about protein and MyAMINO® is that you don’t have to suffer from hunger, you are pleasantly satiated and, most importantly, you are well supplied with all nutrients. Because health always comes first. What I can promise, by the way: With a strict hyperketogenic diet plan, the desired ketogenic metabolism will be achieved much faster and better!

Are you sure? That really helps you lose weight? Why and especially how long does it take then until my pounds melt away?

Nina (laughing): That works – definitely! Above all, it helps to boost the desired fat burning. A fact that many other diet variants completely miss, because often people only lose water and valuable muscle mass.  But above all, this approach takes into account the issue of supporting detoxification – which, by the way, is extremely important because toxins can be stored in the fatty tissue. This is because the almost non-existent nitrogen loss from MyAMINO® results in a high degree of organ relief, e.g. in our liver – one of our central metabolic organs!

If the liver is relieved, it can devote itself to other things, such as toxins, which are usually stored in the fatty tissue and can be automatically mobilised during weight loss. In other words: If you lose weight, the stored “toxins” in the body are automatically released. This is often the case, by the way, when you suddenly become moody or complain of headaches. But don’t worry, it will pass quickly and with the described mix you can lose weight efficiently, gently, organ-relieving and vegan.

All clear or maybe not …
If you get stuck, where do you find support, Nina?.

Nina: I know, that’s a lot of input! And maybe one or the other point is still unclear. But don’t worry, we don’t leave those who want to lose weight – no matter whether they live vegan or not – who want to eat a ketogenic diet in combination with MyAMINO® alone.
