More about vegan ketogenic diets

1. The vegan ketogenic diet excludes all meat and animal products, including dairy, honey, and eggs. 2. A standard ketogenic diet typically includes approximately 70-80% of calories from fat, 20% from protein, and 10-15% from carbohydrates. However, we recommend a modified ketogenic diet, which adjusts fat to about 60% of total calories, with the remaining 40% coming from protein and carbohydrates. This adjustment may help some people better adhere to the diet while still reaping the benefits of ketosis. 3. Aim for at least 50 grams of net carbs per day, calculated as total carbohydrates minus grams of dietary fiber. If you accidentally consume too many carbohydrates in a day, consider increasing anaerobic or high-intensity exercise to burn the extra calories. 4. You can obtain plant-based protein from sources such as soybeans, natural soy products, tempeh, soy milk yogurt, fermented bean curd, natto, nutritional yeast, algae, kelp, nuts, and seeds. 5. Healthy plant-based fat sources include avocados, coconut milk, coconut oil, olive oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, camellia oil, nuts, and seeds.
