"What is vegan keto diet?" "Is vegan keto possible?" Some people are curious and they would want to know.

A plant-based keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein diet that excludes all food sources from animals. The ketogenic diet of course is quite well-known for its meals filled with animal foods. But vegans and plant-based eaters can adapt to this type of nutrition and reach ketosis by relying on high-fat, plant-based products like coconut oil, avocados, seeds, and nuts. With strategic planning, vegans and plant-based eaters can reap its potential benefits.

Now, many reports have talked about the ketogenic diet helping people with type 2 diabetes lower their sugar levels, drop A1c, and get dramatic weight loss in a short period of time.

But is a plant-based diet better? As you may have guessed by now, trying to be healthy through this nutrition doesn't sit well with Mastering Diabetes and friends in the science and nutrition community.

Here's Dr. Neal Barnard as to why he wouldn't vouch for a plant-based keto diet.

Dr. Neal Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.
