Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I’m Rach—your host, part plant-powered 🌱, part opinionated 💬, and very much not a fan of tofu ❌🍥. This episode is for all you non-vegans out there who’ve got a vegan in your life 💁‍♀️ and are quietly stressing about how to feed them, whether you’re allowed to mention cheese 🧀, or what on Earth to do at a BBQ 🍔🔥. Don’t worry—I’ve got you. With over 4% of UK adults now vegan 🇬🇧🌱, chances are you do know someone. And if that someone is also keto vegan? You’ve basically found Bigfoot 🦄. I’m breaking down how to be a more thoughtful friend—from meal planning to ethical respect—and sharing some real talk 🎤 on what not to do if you want to stay in your vegan friend’s good books 📚💚. There’s a Part Two coming 🔜, so make sure you subscribe, follow, and share this with anyone who’s ever asked, “Can vegans eat honey?” 🐝 (Spoiler alert: no). 🔑 Key Takeaways Ask, don’t assume. Just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean your friend likes it 🙅‍♀️🍄—preferences vary! Cook one inclusive meal. No separate plate politics—vegan food is for everyone 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🥗. Respect the ethics. Don’t bring animal products 🥩🚫 into a vegan’s home. It’s not just awkward—it’s disrespectful. Fake meats aren’t universal. Some love ’em, some don’t 🤷‍♀️🌭—best to ask first! Don’t exclude vegans to avoid “the hassle.” That’s exclusion based on beliefs 🙈—not a good look. Best Moments “Why don’t you cook food that everybody can eat? I know—vegan food—everybody can eat it. Isn’t that incredible?” 😲🍽️ “Don’t take your animal products to their place. Often, people are vegan not because of dietary but because of ethical reasons.” 💔🐄 “Don’t assume that your vegan friend is going to be like Rach and eat all your fake meats.” 🍔🧐 “If you do think they’re a vegan, not going to invite them because it’s going to be too much hassle—this is actually exclusion because of their beliefs.” 🚷💭 “Vegans aren’t intending to make your life difficult. What vegans want? They want to live their life. They don’t want to cause harm to any animals.” ✌️🐾💚 #VeganEtiquette 🌿 #KetoVeganPodcast 🎙️ #VeganFriendship 👯‍♀️ #HostingVegans 🍴#VeganUK 🇬🇧 #PlantBasedProtocol 🥕 #KetoVeganLiving 🥑 #VeganRespect 🙌#DinnerPartyTips 🍷 #VeganDinnerHosting 🎉 📚 Valuable Resources VeganFTA article: https://veganfta.com/blog/2025/08/01/12-common-mistakes-non-vegans-make-with-their-vegan-friends/# 📝 Food carb, fat & protein count: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how🛒 Keto-vegan start-up menu & shopping list: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how 👩‍🏫 Host BioRachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation 💪 through the keto diet.
