You might think that a ketogenic diet requires eating meat, but Dr. Eric Berg explains that the key to fat burning isn't what you eat, but rather controlling your insulin levels — as long as you choose low-insulin-index foods, vegans can lose weight quickly and healthily .

🧠 Key to fat loss: Insulin Index
- Insulin is the hormone that determines whether you burn fat or sugar.
- High insulin levels lead to fat storage; low insulin levels lead to fat burning.
- It's not just sugar that raises insulin levels — high protein, high carbohydrate, and frequent eating also stimulate insulin.
- Goal: Lower insulin levels → Activate fat-burning mode

👉 The foods listed above have almost no effect on insulin , thus helping to stabilize blood sugar and burn fat.
🚫 Foods high in insulin (to be avoided)
- All fruits (including berries)
- Grains: Bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, biscuits, muffins, rice (white/brown rice)
- Legumes: Except for chickpeas/red kidney beans, other legumes have a relatively high index.
- Sugar: Fruit juice, desserts, syrup
- High-concentration protein: Soy protein isolate , whey protein (non-vegan)
⏳ Intermittent Fasting Strategy
- Eat two meals a day (lunch + dinner) → Avoid breakfast/snacks
- Longer meal intervals → decreased insulin levels → extended fat-burning time
- If you feel hungry between meals → increase your intake of healthy fats (such as avocados and olives) → prolong the feeling of fullness.
👉 Goal: To make the body "eat its own belly fat" as an energy source
🍽️ Bonus Points Tips
- Add apple cider vinegar ( 2 tablespoons + water) to each meal → helps stabilize blood sugar and lower insulin levels.
- Sufficient sleep → lowers cortisol (stress hormone) → reduces insulin resistance
- Moderate exercise → Improves insulin sensitivity + accelerates fat burning
🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "vegan = hard to lose weight" anymore. Knowing how to eat right is the key to truly healthy weight loss.
Starting today, a low-insulin vegan diet, a targeted fasting + anti-sugar strategy, and a hormone-based fat-burning program will lay a solid foundation for your body!
Don't be trapped by the myth that "calories equal everything." True health comes from knowing how to eat correctly, make informed decisions, and cultivate a healthy lifestyle! 💪🥑🔥
