INTRODUCTION
T he fear of being stranded with the choice of what to eat can be frightening. Carbs (wheat, veggies & fruits) are the life of the vegan diet; while on the other hand, extremely low carb meals and high fats are requisites of the ketogenic diet.

It simply means your body is being compelled to burn fat as a source of energy instead of glucose gotten from carbs.
The vegan lifestyle has abundance of high fat dietary dishes that are plant based, delicious and very nutritious.
