Keto Research



Welcome to Keto Research. 

Research into ketogenic diets is scattered around the internet and often difficult to interpret. The purpose of this site is to accumulate the research in the forms of videos and research papers and make them available to the public. The videos are largely taken from presentations made by experts in the fields of nutrition, diabetes, and heart disease.  The research papers represent some of the most up-to-date findings on ketogenic diet and its impact on health.

My take: The ketogenic and vegan diets are both restrictive. When combining the two, the resulting set of allowed foods in quite small. In my opinion, a keto-vegan diet is so severely restrictive that it would be difficult to maintain long term. It will also be difficult to get all the vital nutrients your body needs.

Veggie Keto

My take: Expanding the veggie portion of a ketogenic diet makes a lot of sense. But, there are certain nutrients (esp. vitamin B12 and EPA) that can be difficult to get from non-animal sources. My opinion is that eggs should be a part of any ketogenic diet.
