Unfortunately, I'm insulin resistant so my body/energy just degrades now if I am a glucose driven individual. Sugar kills me. That's what happens when you spend the summer at grandmas in your childhood drinking Pepsi all day long and playing Final Fantasy II. Hell my body broke when I was 11 years old and just degraded since up until 2014. All because of sugars.
But since doing high fat/really low carb I just feel so different and amazing and I'm losing fat.....not just water and muscle. No BS!! Depression went out the window and I'm strong both physically and mentally. Humans were meant to run on fat.....not glucose...the back up system. My A1C dropped from 5.3 to 4.9!!!
Let me warn all of you.....if your goal is to lose body fat, then ketosis is for you and it will preserve the most muscle. Don't try and burn fat while still a sugar burner like I did.
However the question is if someone could achieve ketosis w/out animal products. Personally, I just wouldn't risk doing high fat w/out animal products. But the risk is fat oxidation while cooking animal fats. Personally, I bake around 375F (still too high) and cook with saturated fats at med-low temps. But lets forget about animal products and focus on the fat.
Also, vegans eat their own body fat too like any other human so if you REALLY wanted to get technical.....no human could ever be 100% vegan. And a calorie is not just a calorie either. Carb calories and fat calories are metabolized differently depending on the person.
