    Lol, didn't even think it was possible. I mean being vegan is practically the opposite of keto unless your diet consists of eating avocado, olive oil and nuts(or almond butter) all day. As a lifter myself, that would be just a torturous diet, just lean protein alone would be a huge chore. I wish you good luck on that journey if you do take that path, because it isn't an easy diet

    It's possible, I know a few people who have done it. However, it's a pretty limited diet. Most people would probably only be able to sustain it if they've got the dual motivation of an ethical objection to animal exploitation and a health condition that is helped by keto.

    It's a torturous way of losing weight. With all the Tools out there for losing weight, this one is the most restricting one out of the whole group. I don't even know if there's a diet more restricting that the vegan keto.

    Raw vegan keto

    Might as well just die if you're at that point of your life that you need to eat raw vegan keto. Imagine bulking with that diet.

    Yes, I would never ever choose it for weight loss.

    Can someone please enlighten me by saying what a day of food might look like on vegan keto, as I don't even comprehend what it might be. Vegan protein powder mixed with vegetable oil?

    Some nuts (especially pecans), some seitan, some avocado, a few low carb vegetables, and the rest is oil? That's all I can think of.

    Unfortunately there are people who believe that successfully losing weight must include absurd levels of deprivation and suffering.

    I agree that vegan keto would be torturous and almost psychotically restrictive (not to mention completely unnecessary and no more effective than any other diet of equal calories, since calories are what matter for weight loss). Not something I would even consider. I'm not about making anything in my life needlessly and ridiculously difficult.

    The Low Carber Daily group has an excellent Launch Pad sticky that has a section on types of low carb diets. One section is vegan ketogenic diets. This is a list of sources they put together.

    Vegan keto is not very common, and does take more planning than many keto diets, but it can be done healthfully. Good luck. :)

    Do you have a medical condition that warrants you to restrict your carb intake?
    If not, why keto or low carb? Do you believe that it's a superior way of losing weight?
    Weight loss comes from creating a calorie deficit. It makes no difference as far as weight loss is concerned which way of eating you pick.
    Calories in calories out.
    Keto and low carb are just another way of eating. Nothing special for most people. Don't believe the hype about it. You'll see a lot of evangelists preaching The word of keto with a lot of unsubstantiated claims about it. If you enjoy eating low carb or keto, go for it! But don't believe it's some magical diet.

    How long have you been vegan? Are you vegan for ethical reasons? If so, that's cool. But as far as weight loss is concerned, it comes down to calories. Calories in calories out. ( See a theme here? All weight loss comes from creating a calorie deficit. No matter which diet you decide to do) being vegan doesn't automatically mean healthier. I haven't eaten meat in over 30 years myself so I'm certainly not against vegan or vegetarian diets. I'm just against misinformation. whichever diet you decide to do, is totally up to you. Just know that for weight loss it's not necessary. All you need to do is create a calorie deficit. Besides the fact is that being vegan doesn't automatically mean healthy and being keto definitely doesn't automatically mean healthy.

    Yes, those things and (IIRC correctly), there is also coconut milk/butter as an option.

    Well yes, I clicked some of the links. I still have no idea how oil, a bit of tofu, seeds and a couple of ounces of vegetables a day (any more and you’re over the carb limit for keto) translate to a full day’s menu that’s fit for human consumption.

    I barely understand non-vegan keto. But this just seems so bonkers.

    I know someone doing raw vegan. It's not going particularly well for her.

    You can eat more than a couple of ounces of veg per day on keto.

    That's true but is harder on vegan keto. Omnivores have the luxury of zero carb protein, vegans don't.
