Vegan Keto

This unique dietary style has the purpose to drive the cellular rest AND the microbiome reset to its fullest. This low calorie, low protein, vegan only diet (pared with a lot of cardio). Has the purpose, to induce a recomposition of your microbiome with supports of the body's requirements to recycle amino acids. As all is vegan, high nutrient, and keto. Meaning mostly eating, Avocado, Cacao, Nuts, Seeds and Olive Oil, we play favorism towards the gut bacteria, while starving the bad bacteria.

Suggestion Note: Feel free to mix and match the activities as you see fit.
Go your own pace and listen to your body. Daily adherence matters more than specificity.

ToDo

Mentalize the intention of this block (deep recomposition of micriobime, and deep autophagy). Allow the restriction to unfold the benefits.
Buy grocieries for the week
Schedule your meal plan (check out 'suggested day routine')

Avoid

Stop snacking. (your calorie budget does not allow for snacking)
Stay strict and avoid kitchen improvisation
Avoid procastriating VILPA and meditations.

Challenges

Over consumption is difficult here. Snacking is the biggest culpit.
You will feel less total energy because of the lacking calories. Stay focused here, the body will fight to overcompensate, this is the healthiest aspect of it. Keep your training high and fight against instinct.
