Hey a fellow vegetarian Indian! I've been on this diet for over 8 months now and it's definitely possible, although not eating eggs will make it a tad harder. Below are some things (sans eggs) that I eat regularly. Note that this is a little heavy on carbs for a strict keto diet since will end up eating between 30-40g of carbs per day. The daily limit to keep you in ketosis varies from person to person. This worked for me. I don't calorie count since it's too much of a hassle for me. So you might want to tailor this plan based on your needs. I've changed parts of this diet since I started working at a new place where I can get cafeteria food.
Breakfast: Bullet proof coffee. It's simple, fast, keeps you satiated and is heavy on fat. After having this, the rest of your meals only need to be low carb, with good amounts of protien and fat.
Other meal ideas:
Hope this plan gives you a starting point. Believe me when I say this diet works! You feel much better after cutting out the carbs, especially after being on a carb heavy diet such as a vegetarian Indian diet. Good luck!

These have 1g of net carbs per serving, with 3.5 servings per can.
I made keto Louisiana "red beans" and "rice" with sausage! Sorry for the low picture quality. The recipe is a bit involved, but I like my keto meals with some complexity.
-1/2 onion, diced
-1/2 red or green bell pepper, diced
-1 jalapeño pepper, cored, seeded, & minced (optional)
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1lb cooked smoked sausage links, sliced (I found a brand that has 1 carb per link. You could also use shrimp and/or chicken)
-1 cup chicken broth (or water + bouillon)
-15oz can black soy beans, drained and rinsed (I used these https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6 )
-1 bay leaf
-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
-1/2 tsp dried thyme
-1/4 tsp dried sage
-2 tsp dried parsley
-1 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning (like Tony C's)
-Salt & pepper to taste
-24oz riced cauliflower (I used 2x 12oz bags of the frozen Trader Joe's brand)
-Avocado oil, butter, or lard for sautéing
-Xanthan gum (optional)
Yield: 4 servings @ 8g net carbs each (would only be 6g net carbs if you use a zero-carb meat/protein. You could cut another 1-2 carbs per serving if you leave out the onions & peppers, but it would definitely change the overall taste.)
Thank you! Another option: If you go to www.camelcamelcamel.com, you can set up an Amazon alert to email you know when this one...

Goes on sale (though right now it's $2.50/can on Prime, which is good). Last October, they messed something up and it went to $2.79 for 12 cans by mistake. Got 2 cases for around $6 shipped.
I love camelcamelcamel. :)
Edit: Sorry OP - didn't mean to hijack! :) Can't wait to try those hemp hearts too!
I know, right? The only way I found out about them was through a recipe book. They are so amazing and I really missed beans. They sell them at places like Whole Foods, but I get mine online from Amazon for cheaper.
If you want legumes with almost no carbs, try these.

Protip: you can make keto Tex-Mex.
Puffy tortillas
Tortilla chips

At 20 carbs or less a day, I’m down 74 lbs since the end of spring, and I don’t even exercise or really even try to run a calorie deficit. You can literally just get trays of Whataburger patties with cheese, fried eggs, and all that jazz.
Check out /r/ketorecipes and /r/keto for extra. There’s a recipe for just about every form of Mexican food. (Bonus tip: baby corn has no carbs, and fiber doesn’t count, so you can get the HEB low-carb tortillas if you’re feeling lazy.)
Edit: ps - black soybeans have 1 net carb and can be mashed and refried like pintos. Watch out for added carbs in shredded cheese and bacon, but both are A-OK otherwise.
Percentages are more useful for people on medical keto, say epileptics. Here, it is more typical to track in grams.
People on here tend to have the most success keeping to 20 g net carbs per day which is carbs minus fiber (in US). Outside US the label typically already reflects the math, is my understanding.
So, you can eat anything that fits into your macros. The calculator in the sidebar is a good one, set carbs to 20 g and activity to sedentary, most folks do a 20% deficit.
If you want to eat pinto beans, the rest of your day has to be pretty carb free. Black coffee and a steak for your other meal would fit nicely. ;)
As an alternative, Black Soybeans (have only seen them canned) are very low in net carbs and are great in burritos, tacos, etc.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
Put olive oil, onion, and chicken into large pan on the stove. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside. Add garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add every other ingredient and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and let cook uncovered for 20 minutes or so.
Tweaks:
You can increase the amount of cheese in the recipe to help thicken the sauce a little. You can also top with more cheese or sour cream after serving.
I didn't have any jalapeno or other peppers on hand but you can definitely add them in for extra heat. Speaking of heat, this chili does have a bit of a kick to it so if you're sensitive to spice just leave out or reduce the amount of Cayenne Pepper.
Finally, you could serve with pork rinds or something if you wish to have a crunch.
Nutrition:
Makes about 11 cups of food, which I estimate to be about 6 servings (I took about 1 cup out to eat. Ended up going back for seconds)
I buy them from Amazon, but they aren't prime eligible and you have to buy a whole dozen at once. I did it, though, because I use them in a lot of recipes: http://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381764143&sr=8-1&keywords=black+soybeans+eden
I bought a case on amazon
It's this: https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6?th=1
Found it on a shelf in the organic section of my local supermarket.
Black soy beans can be used in place of black beans anywhere you like. They are the only keto-friendly bean that I know of. (An equivalent amount of black beans would have 24g net carbs.) Put them in some keto-friendly chili with beefy crumble to up the protein, eat them with tofu/eggs in a scramble, make a Mexican-inspired bean dip out of them and eat with veggies or cheese chips... Tons of options for them! :)
I always got this brand, and I found it at health food stores as well as big chain grocery stores that have a decent natural foods selection.
Black soy beans! They're kind of hard to find in the wild but they're readily available on Amazon.
They don't make good baked beans, but black soy beans are low carb and pretty darn good. Not sure if the carb count is in the link, but they are low carb.

Edit to add the nutritional label I found online http://www.edenfoods.com/store/images/products/nlea/103050.gif
This is mine. My non-keto SO loves it.
Cook the bacon. Remove it from the pan and cook the chorizo and ground beef in the bacon grease. Throw everything except cilantro and sour cream in a slow cooker for 8 or so hours. Top with cilantro and sour cream.
In my house we call this chili "Scott can't have this, it has pork".
If he just has to have some sort of beans, black soy beans are super low carb and a great replacement!

I'm with you there. But, you can make your own refried beans out of these beans and they taste great! Then you can make these tortillas and you could have an amazing bean burrito that's around 4 or 5 carbs. And that's if you load it up with beans.
FYI: I discovered these a few weeks ago, but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger and buy black soybeans without trying one can.

I use this calculator from the Mayo Clinic. According to that, if you are completely inactive 1600 calories a day will maintain your current weight. So if you consume, 1100 calories a day you will lose one pound per week (3500 calories per pound). You can eat a bit more and you'll simply lose weight at a slightly slower rate. Just never go above 1600 calories in a day.
Finding foods that taste good is key to success. I make a shake with the extreme milk chocolate flavor of this protein powder and soy milk. It is delicious. It literally tastes like a chocolate milkshake (as the Amazon reviews confirm), but is really good for you. Low calorie and high in protein. Another dish I make are these beans with garlic powder and other spices. Sometimes I add rice, but not too much (because rice are pure carbs). These beans are high in fiber and protein, so they are perfect. And the spices make the whole thing taste really good. The full receipe is here. The whole dish only costs $1.30 a meal and you can literally have all the ingredients shipped to your door from Amazon. Another tip is that if you drink, you can use the website Get Drunk Not Fat to make efficient choices about what you drink. :) Finally, be sure to take a multivitamin to make sure you get all the nutrients you need even though you have a calorie deficit.
Eat smart and the pounds will fly off in no time. I find the Hall of Fame to be really awesome motivation. With each pound you lose it will become easier to stay away from the bad stuff. Then once you are at your goal weight, you can start to eat more calories because then you just need to maintain. You don't have to be perfect, you just need to make smart choices overall. You can do it, I promise. :)
2nd this also can get them off amazon Eden Organic Black Soy Beans, No Salt Added
No problem!
FWIW - I'm not sure how easy these beans are to find in stores; I never looked and just assumed that I would have a hard time finding them locally. I ended up buying a 12 pack on amazon for $20 (with free shipping)

They have them at my local upscale grocery store. But it looks like they are easily available online
I read that they can be difficult to properly cook, but when cooked they are very similar to kidney beans. They are also available on Amazon. I'm still on the fence about trying them though..
I misread the question and thought you were asking for the recipe for refrying. You can buy them in amazon https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6
Also haven't tried these yet I read their a good replacement for los frijoles. Gonna try one can if I can find them first. Only 1 carb per serving.

Usually total.
Eg. http://www.swervesweetener.com/products/swerve-sweetener-granular-12oz/ 0 calories, 0 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sugar, 0 grams of starch... yet 4g of carbs per serving. Or these ones -- https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6... it's 8 grams of carbs per serving, but only one gram of actual net carbs... scallops by contrast are a higher carb food at 1.5g of sugar per oz.
I would like to add cans of black soybeans.
You can add some soybeans to your diet perhaps! They taste awesome in taco, salad, chilli etc
Here is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6?th=1
and try Isopure Zero carb for smoothies and waffles. I made zero carb cookies with Isopure which had 11 protein and 57 Kcal!
Here
> 0.8 grams of protein per pound of lean bodyweight should suffice
I agree, I've seen this number in plenty of places. Just wondering why multiple servings of protein powder instead of whole foods, I guess? I tend to limit my intake to one serving a day, but at the end of the day that's personal preference. Again, nuts, eggs, tofu, meat replacements are other good sources.
>Problem with beans, black soybeans or otherwise, is that they're way too high in carbs - otherwise, I would love to.
Black soy beans only have 1 gram net carb. They're great for veggie keto. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GZS9Q6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_HcmZxb4MVJ9T3
>Also, could you expand on why evening is a "weird place" for it?
Re: bulletproof coffee. I've been doing IF as well, I definitely get not drinking it in the morning. Usually people use bullet proof coffee as a tool to stave off hunger for a long time. It seems like a weird place to use those calories, since you'll likely be eating a large meal soon after. Why not include real food for those calories? I think that's why it feels strange. Maybe a fat bomb after dinner? Or some extra cheese with all that veg?
If you still want to do a bulletproof coffee, maybe after lunch to get you to dinner?
>I've never heard that yogurt is something to worry about and now I've heard it twice.
It IS only 7 grams of carbs, but straight from sugar. That is pretty indulgent, considering it's nearly half your carbs for the day. Also having something with that much sugar can cause more sugar cravings and more hunger, which is worse (in my experience) earlier in the day. Maybe try cottage cheese instead?
I'd probably just omit beans and make it a meat-heavy chili like most other people are suggesting.
If your mother really wants the taste of beans for some reason, black soybeans are very low in net carbs. They might be tough to find in person though
Just a fyi, they sell these at my local supermarket and at walmart near me and is a good substitute to black beans and taste great imo.
