Welcome to The Keto Vegan! I’m Rachel, and I’m so excited to share a special episode with you today. I’ve been experimenting with homemade liqueurs, including my own orange and raspberry creations, and I can’t wait to tell you all about them. I’ll also be showing you how to make my signature cocktail—the Hot Lips Martini—using my freshly made orange liqueur. So, grab a seat, sip along with me, and let’s dive into this delicious keto-vegan journey together! Ingredients: ¼ cup Truvia for Baking Caster sugar to go with ½ litre of vodka Peel the oranges, don’t use the juice, just the peel. Raspberries – 2 packs. Every day give a good shake – make sure you have an airtight container (unlike me!)

Welcome back, my fellow plant-powered, keto-crushing, animal-loving listeners to another episode of 'The Keto Vegan'! Today, we’re diving into a topic every vegan has probably scratched their head over—literally. Yep, we’re talking about the creepy crawlies! From head lice that seem to think your hair is a five-star resort, to ants who’ve mistaken your kitchen for Coachella or Glastonbury . And don’t even get me started on those fungus gnats treating your houseplants like their own personal jungle gym. So, what’s a vegan to do? Break out the magnifying glass, a moral compass, and maybe some lavender oil? Let’s find out!   Cinnamon oil and peppermint oil are fragrant ways to stop ants coming into your home.Pinot Noir is the red wine of my choice! Ketosis not affected by it at all (weeing on those sticks again!)Vegans against head-lice: Self-Defence is the only way!What do vegan parents do when their children have head-lice?“What do vegans do about headlice?” “Not eat them!!”“You want to remove the eggs as well as the nits!!”“Lice are parasitic insects that infests the hairs of the human head and feed from blood from the scalp.” Sounds good doesn’t it”   Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how   Host Bio Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.

Welcome to The Keto Vegan Podcast! Today, Rachel is diving into a topic she once had strong feelings about—Tofu. For the longest time, she hated tofu—the texture, the bland taste, it just didn’t work. But over time, Rachel discovered a few game-changing ways to prepare tofu that transformed her opinion completely. In this episode, she’ll share three delicious, keto-friendly methods that made tofu not only bearable but truly enjoyable.

In this episode of The Keto Vegan podcast 🥦, we explore the global obesity crisis and the challenges of dieting 🥬. With 64% of adults in the UK overweight and 1 in 8 people worldwide living with obesity, this issue is more urgent than ever. We ask: if obesity were treated like addiction, would governments take stronger action?   We dive into why diets so often fail, with 95% of people regaining lost weight due to restrictive eating and biological changes that make weight loss harder. We also discuss the psychological toll of obesity, where 82% of people blame themselves for their condition, leading to shame and missed opportunities for help.   But it’s not all bad news. We introduce the vegan keto diet as a sustainable solution for weight loss, focusing on nutrient-dense, plant-based foods. Throughout the episode, we share practical tips on how to implement this lifestyle and tackle common dieting challenges.   We also look at the role of the food industry in promoting ultra-processed foods 🍩🍧 and the need for stricter regulations to protect public health, especially for children. With personal stories and real-world advice, this episode offers both insight and inspiration for those looking to make healthier changes.   Information Links from Episode Are you 7x more likely to die from obesity than smoking?

Welcome to The Keto Vegan Podcast! 🌱✨ In this episode I talk about my personal experiences of how I best lose weight. And, surprise, surprise, it’s nothing to do with the food. It’s ALL about the mindset!  We all know what to do to lose weight, so why don’t we do it consistently? It’s about taking full responsibility and recognising that every moment is a choice. In this episode, I also discuss about the book “Whole Brain Living” by Jill Bolte Taylor. This fascinating book explores the four different characters in our brain and their unique roles. One of these characters, Character 2, is responsible for so much of our behaviour and choices! Join us as we explore these topics and more, helping you navigate the keto vegan lifestyle with confidence and joy.

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan podcast! I’m Rachel, your host, and I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you. Recently, I finally got the chance to visit Mangosteen, a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Southsea that I’ve been eyeing on Facebook for what feels like forever. Their photos always look so mouthwatering, I just couldn’t resist any longer—especially after my middle daughter and her partner went without me! So, I grabbed my eldest daughter and my granddaughter, and off we went for a little foodie adventure. Now, my expectations were sky-high—after all, I’d been drooling over their dishes for months! Did Mangosteen live up to the hype? Well, it didn’t quite reach the lofty heights I’d imagined, but it was still a good experience, and I’m already planning my next visit. In this episode, I’ll be diving into what we ordered, what we loved, and what could have been a bit better. Let’s get into it!

In this episode of The Keto Vegan podcast, I’m joined by Luke and Kingsley for some festive fun. Nearly a year ago, while still working as a teacher, I did a lot of forward planning and recorded this episode where we made a delicious creamy, raspberry cocktail. Things got a little tipsy, and I decided to hold off on sharing it until now. But now that I’ve moved on from teaching, it’s time to let you in on the fun.

In this episode, Rachel takes listeners on her recent adventure to The Wickham Festival in Hampshire, UK. Determined to stay true to her keto vegan lifestyle, Rachel set out to explore the festival's offerings with her two sisters and brother-in-law. The family opted for a glamping tent, which turned out to be less luxurious than anticipated – no electricity and no proper bed, a far cry from her expectations of glamorous camping. Armed with more preparation than her previous school trip to Paris, Rachel navigated the festival with high hopes for abundant vegan food stalls. Despite the limited options, she successfully maintained her keto vegan diet throughout the event. The few days spent at the festival were incredibly relaxing, and to everyone's surprise, the English weather was delightfully pleasant. Join Rachel as she shares her experiences, challenges, and tips for staying keto vegan while enjoying festival life.

Rachel and Luke (see episode #28 Keto Vegan Kickstart: Two Weeks with Luke and Kingsley - Unveiling Challenges, Tips, and Laughter!) meet for a drinks eve and decide to record for a podcast too! This is before Rachel launched the podcast but was recording as much as she could for future episodes.   Rachel has waited until she retired from teaching before allowing this one to go ‘out there’. Definitely not acceptable to show students a tipsy teacher!   She’d had a G&T before she started!She wasn’t using measures.She makes a messShe swearsShe’s gets it wrong more than once   Best Moments “I can feel it getting colder, as I’m shaking. Coffee is still going everywhere!” “Let’s just taste that to see what it is like and see how cold it is.”Luke: “When does the sugar-syrup go in?”“And it helps to put the sugar syrup in as well!!!!”“hmmm, that was too much sugar syrup, I don’t like things too sweet.”“This could be one of the bloopers reels!”“Hey, it’s Rach, the vegan martini!”Luke: “You can be a vegan martini, you can identify as whatever you want!”   Frangelico – carb count in 1oz of Frangelico there are 11g of carbs!!!!!!! Sugar free syrups: Amazon do a selection. Frangelico link – I’m not giving a link because it’s almost pure sugar!

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel, and today we have an incredibly inspiring guest, Kate Galli. Kate is not only a dedicated personal trainer but also a passionate vegan health coach. Her journey to veganism is both compelling and enlightening, and I'm thrilled to share her story with you. Kate's transition to veganism has been a transformative journey. Starting as a vegetarian at 16, she spent years gradually moving towards a fully vegan lifestyle. For the past eight and a half years, Kate has embraced veganism wholeheartedly. This journey was profoundly influenced by her mother and Kate's unwavering love for animals, which began when she was a typical little girl who adored animals but, paradoxically, also ate them. A pivotal moment for Kate was when a friend pointed out, "If I eat an animal, that animal needs to die!" This simple yet powerful statement sparked a deep reflection in her. Kate realized she had been misled by marketing propaganda, which portrayed a false narrative of happy farm animals. She recalls with shame how she once consumed up to 21 free-range organic egg whites a day, believing it was a humane choice. The turning point came when Kate watched the documentary "Cowspiracy." It was then she understood that if she was vegetarian for the animals, she had to be vegan for the animals. Despite her fears of losing the muscular physique she had sculpted over two decades, Kate chose to prioritize her integrity and the well-being of animals over her vanity. And spoiler alert—only good things happened! Throughout her journey, Kate's core emotional states of freedom, integrity, and passion have driven her. As a personal trainer, she emphasizes the importance of clarity in one's goals and the intense emotional connection to the "why" behind those goals. Kate's story is a testament to the power of aligning one's actions with their deepest values and the profound positive impact it can have. Join us as we dive deeper into Kate Galli's inspiring journey to veganism, her dedication to animal rights, and her passion for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals through a compassionate lifestyle. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Best Moments “I was that typical little girl that loved animals and ate animals”When Kate was 16 a friend said to her: “If I eat an animal that animal needs to die!”“I’d been lied to. I believed the marketing propaganda ‘nothing to see here, our cows are happy, our chickens are happy’. I bought free range organic eggs, I’m ashamed to say I ate up to 21 free range organic egg whites a day!”“The documentary was Cowspiracy, I had no choice! I realised if I was vegetarian for the animals I must be vegan for the animals.”I was fearful, I thought this body I’d sculpted over two decades … I thought I’m going to lose muscle, I’m going to gain fat, I’m going to get all weak. But it’s about more than my vanity, so I became vegan. Spoiler it’s only good stuff that happens”The personal trainer in me always goes back to getting really clear on what your goal is, and the why of your goal, and the huge emotional intensity attached to that ‘why’.   Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how   Guest Bio: Kate Galli Personal Trainer - Vegan Health Coach Website: http://www.strongbodygreenplanet.com To help you create a BODY and LIFE you LOVE by successfully managing your TIME and your MIND.

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast! Rachel, your dedicated host, is back to share her latest adventures in navigating the world as a keto vegan. In this episode, Rachel talks about her recent experience at her cousin's wedding, where she faced yet another challenge with the food options—or lack thereof—for vegans. Unfortunately, there were no keto vegan options, and to make matters worse, the vegan dishes she requested were gone by the time she arrived. This marks the second wedding where she's encountered this issue, and it's starting to get quite frustrating. Rachel also recounts her trip to Butlins for an Adult Big Weekender. Thankfully, the food situation was slightly better due to the availability of a small kitchen, allowing her to bring her own food. Despite this, she ended up trying a not-so-great vegan burger at one of the pubs and later broke keto for a surprisingly enjoyable Vegan Royale at Burger King, which she suspects was more enjoyable due to a few too many G&Ts. On a brighter note, Rachel shares her visit to VK Diner in Waterlooville, a fantastic spot her daughter discovered. This diner specialises in vegan ‘dirty’ food and offers a refreshing change with its extensive menu, giving Rachel more than just one or two options to choose from. Join Rachel as she delves into these stories and reflects on the ongoing challenges and occasional triumphs of being a keto vegan in a world that's still catching up. Key Takeaways In Rachel’s recent experience weddings & vegan don’t seem to go well together.Rachel had a bit of a rant, nothing to do with the champagne or G&Ts!Find out what Rachel thought of the Burger King Vegan Royale.The VK Diner is perfect for vegans and you can do keto there too.

Welcome to another delightful episode of The Keto Vegan podcast! Today’s journey takes us through the bustling streets of Paris, but not as a casual tourist. Oh no, Rachel, our intrepid host, decided to take on the City of Light accompanied by 35 energetic 12- and 13-year-olds. Talk about a challenge! Rachel embarked on this school trip with high hopes of maintaining her keto vegan lifestyle amidst the croissants and baguettes of Paris. Spoiler alert: things didn’t quite go as planned. Picture this – a devoted keto vegan in a city famed for its pastries, cheese, and all things carb-laden. It was a recipe for a few dietary detours and, let’s be honest, a lot of laughs. As Rachel navigated the streets with her young charges, she quickly realized that finding keto vegan options in Paris is like trying to find a needle in a baguette haystack. Surrounded by excited kids and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, she found herself in a carb-loaded culinary whirlwind. Let’s just say, Parisian patisseries won this round, and Rachel returned home with more than just souvenirs – a few extra pounds tagged along too. Damn it! Join us for this hilarious and heartfelt recount of Rachel’s Parisian adventure, where keto took a back seat, and veganism met its match in the form of irresistible French carbs. This episode is a delightful mix of travel tales, dietary dilemmas, and a whole lot of humour. Welcome to The Keto Vegan podcast – let's dive in!

In this episode of the Keto Vegan Podcast, Rachel explores the differences between "fiber" and "fibre" on European and American food labels and why it's crucial for accurately counting carbs. If you're following a keto diet, understanding these distinctions can make a significant impact on your meal planning and nutritional tracking. In Europe, you'll often see "fibre" on labels, while in the U.S., it's "fiber." This small spelling difference can lead to big confusion, especially when calculating net carbs for your keto lifestyle. Join Rachel as she breaks down these labelling differences, explains how they affect the final carb count, and provides tips to ensure you're getting your dietary fiber/fibre just right. Whether you're in Europe or America, this episode will help you navigate food labels with confidence and keep your keto vegan journey on track.
