However, one of the first things that may strike our readers about the Tim Noakes Diet (also known as Paleo or Banting), is the abundance of meat and healthy animal-derived fats included. So of course you could be forgiven for thinking this eating plan is a no-go for vegans and vegetarians \u2013 however, the good news is, it\u2019s possible to follow the LCHF diet while still embracing an animal-friendly lifestyle. If you\u2019ve got the will, we\u2019ll help you find the way!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a myth that Paleo is suitable for meat-eaters only. However, it takes effort, commitment and a bit of extra planning. The LCHF plan means no beans, no soy, no rice, no grains, which can make it very limiting to those relying on a plant-based diet for all their nourishment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Must-Have Munchies<\/h2>\n<p>Vegetarian athlete <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/paleo-vegetarian-8-weeks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Susan Lacke<\/a> spent 8 weeks on a Paleo diet adjusted for vegetarians, and came up with a list of must-have staples for vegans and vegetarians looking to give it a try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/By-Nature-Organic-Almonds-p-3085.html\" target=\"_blank\">Almonds<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pistachios<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Good-Life-Organic-Walnut-Pieces-Kashmiri-p-2720.html\" target=\"_blank\">Walnuts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Superfoods-Organic-Hemp-Seeds-Shelled-p-3122.html\" target=\"_blank\">Hemp seed<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Avocados<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Eggs (for vegetarians)<\/li>\n<li>Potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Superfoods-Organic-Spirulina-Powder-p-1969.html\" target=\"_blank\">Spirulina<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It may not look like a long list at first glance, but these ingredients can be used to make fresh green smoothies or filling salads piled with veggies. Fresh vegetables, low-sucrose fruits, nuts, seeds and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Oh-Mega-Nut-Butters-mid-175-p-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">nut butters<\/a> are all delicious, healthy and more filling than you\u2019d expect.

Take a daily B12 vitamin supplement to keep your body and mind strong and healthy.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Mineralife-Iron-p-4470.html\">Iron<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Take a readily bio-available iron supplement that your body can easily absorb and use. To improve your iron absorption, eat fruits and veggies that are high in vitamin C.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Omega-Pure-Omega-3-DHA-tablets-p-3471.html\" target=\"_blank\">Omega-3<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Your body needs this essential fatty acid to support overall health and to balance out a diet high in Omega-6.
