The Ketogenic Diet & Type 2 Diabetes Diabetes

I initially thought that this might really be a great way to lose excess fat (except for the inclusion of meat!). Although you can get the same results by replacing the meat with vegan alternatives, it would definitely require a little more effort & experimentation to find equivalent plant-based replacements for the various meats in Keto cookbooks. I’ve kept my eyes peeled for a vegan ketogenic cookbook for some time now without success so far.
