Let’s embarked on a two-week vegan keto journey to see if achieving ketosis is possible following a vegan diet.

There will be challenges.
Why would I do this?  What are the health implications? Does the keto diet live up to all the hype? 

On a typical diet, we consume 45-60% of our calories from carbohydrates. Our digestive system breaks down carbs into glucose to provide fuel for the cells in our body. This fuel, or energy, is also known as ‘ATP’.  All three macronutrients – carbohydrates, fats, and protein – can be converted to ATP through distinct, complex processes. Carbs, however these are most easily and efficiently converted to ATP, making it our body’s preferred energy source of the three. 
With low-carb diets like keto, our body first uses up glucose in our blood for energy. As glucose runs low, we break down our supply of stored glucose (glycogen) found in muscles and the liver. Once depleted of glycogen, the body must adjust to rely on a different energy source—fat. A process known as ketogenesis down fat into ketones.

• 70-80% of calories from fat
• 15-30% calories from protein
• 5% calories from carbohydrates

Many keto dieters simply aim for less than 50 grams of total carbohydrates or 20 grams of net carbs (total carbs–fiber) as a reliable way to enter ketosis. Nutrient-dense foods such as fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds contain carbohydrates and therefore must be avoided or restricted.
