It’s doable, but very difficult. Requires supplements.
Protein sources are critical in this approach, I would map out the DIAAS scores of the protein sources to make sure it is complete.
A complicating factor is it’s very difficult to hit the micro targets and protein targets and keeping the carbs <20g, so many of the vegan approaches are low carb <100g and not ketogenic
Hi thanks. I have grown sceptical of most online food advice, but I will look into your link.
Contrary to what any reader of this thread might think, I would very much like to be shown nutrient dense low carb vegan food. I lived for more than a decade with my staple protein (and carb I suppose) being legumes/pulses. (At one point I had five pressure cookers lol - many large consumer of pulses/legumes will understand this). Even with copious amounts of dried seaweed the ultimately perpetual bloated stomach > gas is what forced me back to eating meat. It just wasn’t good for me. I now quickly put on weight if I eat a high carbohydrate diet. Low carb I am in good health and shape.
I know we have so many problems stacking up, including food production. Climate change ultimately means many millions, maybe more, will die of hunger over the next century. And I respect people’s wishes for the humane treatment of animals, but plenty of people pushing a vegan diet don’t exactly deal with reality. Nature is red in tooth and claw, and there appears to be plenty of evidence suggesting eating meat is what caused us to evolve as we have due to the nutrient density of it. I personally won’t willingly accept a diet that isn’t good for me. I did it for more than a decade - possibly longer than many of the vegans I read online.

I think the !plantbased@lemmy.dbzer0.com community is where you need to go to have productive discussions of the plant based options.
Personally I’m biased and I moderate the !carnivore@lemm.ee and !ketogenic@dubvee.org communities.
