Is Eating A Vegan Keto Diet Even Possible? Here's Everything You Need To KnowLainaa:
It *is* possible.
The keto diet has built up a reputation for being able to help with losing weight and keeping it off. But it is also known for how much meat people eat to try to achieve their high-fat, low-carb goal. So is there a vegan keto diet that allows plant-based folks to also follow this way of eating? Surprisingly, yes.
Just as you can still go out to eat on keto by making a few tweaks, you can adapt the diet to fit whatever eating restrictions you have—you just need to get creative about it. So, it is possible to be vegan and keto at the same time. But even dietitians acknowledge that it may not be the easiest to do.
Eating a vegan keto diet is “difficult, since you're not eating any animal protein,” says Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD, a co-founder of Culina Health in New York City. Jessica Cording, a New York-based RD and the author of The Little Book of Game-Changers, agrees. “Technically, this is possible, but it takes a lot more planning and careful consideration than if someone was incorporating animal proteins,” Cording says.
