Metabolisms that use ketosis (fat burning - as opposed to sugar burning - for most of metabolic needs) can be achieved with multiple ways including plant-based.
Below are some ways to enter ketosis
Fasting greater than 72 hours or Intermitten Fasting (Jason Fung MD)
Plant Based - green juicing - low carb, low protein, low fat - high in micronutrient and fiber - not to exceed 1 month - recommend medical supervision
Terry Wahl diet - with limiting carbs
Duke Keto - Eric Westman MD - low carb, moderate protein, moderate fat
Carnivore - Ken Berry MD - no carb, high protein, high fat (although Dr. Berry may not agree)
It's ketosis that is resulting in healing - ketosis appears to have a wide range of effect from insulin sensitization, anti-inflammatory, and anti-neoplastic.
In my practice, we focus on metabolic state and how to reach that state taking account of patients' preferences.
