The ketogenic vegetarian diet is exactly what is sounds like. It combines the ketogenic diet with the vegetarian diet. Vegetarians do not consume meat or fish, but unlike vegans, other animal products are permitted. Many people choose to adopt this lifestyle for religious, moral, and/or health reasons.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the adoption of plant-based diets, and many people still believe that such diets are detrimental to one's health. Over the past 30years, however, evidence has increasingly suggested that (mostly) plant-based diets are actually healthier than traditional western diets in which meat consumption is high, which results in high intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, calories, carcinogenic preservatives, salt, sugar, and chemical byproducts from the cooking process. Guidelines have been established for those who wish to be able to successfully adopt plant-based diets in a healthy and responsible way. These include ensuring adequate intake of plant foods high in iron and protein, as well as supplementation of some micronutrients such as vitamin B1

The ketogenic diet, on the other hand, is based on the reduction of blood glucose through the restrictive consumption of carbohydrates, the energy source from which glucose is derived. Glucose typically serves as the body's main source of fuel so doing this results in the production of alternative energy sources by the liver's ketone bodies - a source of energy produced from the breakdown of stored fats.
