Welcome to The Keto Vegan Podcast, with me, Rachel! As the crisp autumn air sets in and sunlight đ„ïžbecomes a bit more scarce, it's a perfect time to think about how we can keep our bodies nourished and healthy through the changing seasons. Today, we're diving into an essential topicâbone health and vitamin D, especially for us living in the northern hemisphere.
Did you know that from October to March, the lack of sunlight here means weâre unable to produce enough vitamin D naturally? This is a crucial piece of the puzzle because vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium, which is vital for maintaining strong bones. But don't worry, there are plant-basedđȘŽ ways to make sure we're covered. Weâll also explore vegan-friendly sources of vitamin D and supplements, including the best options for those of us who want to avoid animal-derived ingredients like sheep-grease!! Yuck! đ
So, grab a cozy blanket and a nice Pinot-Noir đ·as we explore how to maintain our bone health in the cold monthsâand remember, you donât need to compromise on your vegan lifestyle to get the nutrients your body needs! Let's get into it.
Key Takeaways
A microgram (mcg) is 1,000 times smaller than a milligram (mg). The word microgram is sometimes written with the Greek symbol ÎŒ followed by the letter g (ÎŒg). Sometimes the amount of vitamin D is expressed as International Units (IU). 1 microgram of vitamin D is equal to 40 IU. So 10 micrograms of vitamin D is equal to 400 IU.]Many Vitamin D supplements are made from the oil of sheepâs wool â basically Sheep Grease! No matter how well looked after these sheep are I think thatâs a âNOâ from me!How much Vit D should we supplement in the winter every day?Best moments

In this episode of The Keto Vegan podcast đ„Š, we explore the global obesity crisis and the challenges of dieting đ„Ź. 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 itâs 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 đ©đ§ 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.

Welcome to The Keto Vegan Podcast! đ±âš
In this episode I talk about my personal experiences of how I best lose weight. And, surprise, surprise, itâs nothing to do with the food. Itâs ALL about the mindset! We all know what to do to lose weight, so why donât we do it consistently? Itâs about taking full responsibility and recognising that every moment is a choice.
In this episode, I also discuss about the book âWhole Brain Livingâ 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. Letâs get started! đ§đż

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan podcast! Iâm Rachel, your host, and Iâm so excited to share todayâs episode with you. Recently, I finally got the chance to visit Mangosteen, a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Southsea that Iâve been eyeing on Facebook for what feels like forever. Their photos always look so mouthwatering, I just couldnât resist any longerâespecially 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-highâafter all, Iâd been drooling over their dishes for months! Did Mangosteen live up to the hype? Well, it didnât quite reach the lofty heights Iâd imagined, but it was still a good experience, and Iâm already planning my next visit. In this episode, Iâll be diving into what we ordered, what we loved, and what could have been a bit better. Letâs get into it!

In this episode of The Keto Vegan podcast, Iâm 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 Iâve moved on from teaching, itâs time to let you in on the fun. Join us as we mix up some holiday cheerâbetter late than never! Enjoy responsibly!

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 â 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 âout thereâ. Definitely not acceptable to show students a tipsy teacher!

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 alertâonly good things happened!

Best Moments
âI was that typical little girl that loved animals and ate animalsâWhen Kate was 16 a friend said to her: âIf I eat an animal that animal needs to die!ââIâd been lied to. I believed the marketing propaganda ânothing to see here, our cows are happy, our chickens are happyâ. I bought free range organic eggs, Iâm ashamed to say I ate up to 21 free range organic egg whites a day!ââThe documentary was Cowspiracy, I had no choice! I realised if I was vegetarian for the animals I must be vegan for the animals.âI was fearful, I thought this body Iâd sculpted over two decades ⊠I thought Iâm going to lose muscle, Iâm going to gain fat, Iâm going to get all weak. But itâs about more than my vanity, so I became vegan. Spoiler itâs only good stuff that happensâThe 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 âwhyâ.Valuable Resources

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 optionsâor lack thereofâfor 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 âdirtyâ 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.

Welcome to another delightful episode of The Keto Vegan podcast! Todayâs 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 didnât quite go as planned. Picture this â 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, letâs 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. Letâs just say, Parisian patisseries won this round, and Rachel returned home with more than just souvenirs â a few extra pounds tagged along too. Damn it!
Join us for this hilarious and heartfelt recount of Rachelâs 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 â let's dive in!
