I hope not; the idea of a vegetarian in ketosis sounds pretty ridiculous in my opinion. To stay in ketosis you'd have to really limit your fruit/vegetable intake which seems to me like it would defeat the purpose of being a vegetarian. If you plan on eating only vegetables, the amount of them you would need to eat each day would surely knock you out of keto and I imagine It would be near impossible to get an adequate amount of protein because a lot of vegetarian protein sources are not necessarily low carb. I'm sure it's possible but I can't think of a single reason why that would be at all productive.

Not sustainable or really possible and extremely unhealthy.

You can be a ketogenic vegetarian, but you really need to consume more than just veggies. Dairy and eggs come to mind. Ketogenic vegan diets are very difficult.

nope, 'cos I like meat and dairy.

Figuring out how to get your proteins and fats is the challenge - nuts etc ?

There are various people doing this and you can find blogs about it but personally I do not see the need nor would I recommend it unless you really know nutrition and know what you are doing. It possibly a good way to ruin one's health if practiced incorrectly for extended periods seeing the very limited nutrient profile it would require.

If you do it, please blog about and link to this thread. I'm always interested in how people don't listen and the results.
