Her unique approach harnesses the health and weight loss benefits of the ketogenic diet and unites it with the vegan lifestyle.

MacDowell offers more than 60 recipes that are all free of meat, eggs, and dairy and are keto compliant. MacDowell's revolutionary new approach emphasizes a nutrient-dense nutrition plan sourced from whole, natural foods that are rooted in healthy fats with plant-based proteins that are lower in carbohydrates. She has created a sustainable model that will enable those living a vegan lifestyle to achieve optimal health, lose weight, and eliminate cravings for inflammatory foods. Vegan Keto is complete with full-color photos, four easy-to-follow weekly meal plans, shopping lists, and tips and tricks for getting started and staying on track.

After years of crash diets, disordered eating and constantly feeling sick, she realized there was no quick fix, and enrolled in a nutrition program at Bauman College to try and fix her eating habits from the inside out. During her time studying nutrition, Liz stumbled across the ketogenic diet one night browsing Reddit, and decided to give it a go. Through lots of trial and error, she found what works for her body, and began creating low carbohydrate vegetarian recipes to keep things interesting and healthy. Liz started MeatFreeKeto.com to share these recipes with others who want to explore a low carb or ketogenic diet, without eating meat. By eating a plant-based low carbohydrate diet, Liz has been able to control symptoms of endometriosis and Raynaud's, as well as kept her blood sugar and weight in check, while eating nutrient-dense and flavorful meals. When she's not cooking up new recipes (and making messes) in the kitchen, Liz loves to hike, read, practice yoga and indulge in the occasional computer game.
