Vegans and Vegetarians

No matter your dietary preferences, the SOZA weight loss program is accessible to all. We understand that being a vegetarian or vegan may require some extra consideration, but fear not - we've got you covered with many delicious recipes.

​

If you're a vegan, we recommend being mindful of your protein choices, as many meat substitutes may contain hidden carbs that could interfere with your progress. Even wholesome vegetable protein sources like legumes and pulses tend to have higher carb content. Instead, we suggest focusing on high-protein foods such as tofu, Tempe, edamame beans, and seitan.

Nutritional yeast can also be a great addition to soups and sauces, boasting an impressive 51 grams of protein per 100 grams. For more protein add-ons, visit our page.

​

Protein is crucial to your success in this program, so we advise vegans to allow themselves to exceed 1000 calories if needed. Don't worry - you'll still lose weight, although maybe not quite as rapidly, and you may not enter ketosis, but that's okay.

​

To make things easier and more effective during stage one, consider incorporating vegan-friendly protein powders, and meal replacement shakes to boost your protein levels and help you enter ketosis. Don't let dietary restrictions hold you back from reaching your weight loss goals - with the right tools and mindset, you can do this!
