Here's the foods they said you should eat on Ketotorian:

Here’s a list of the foods you should eat while following the ketotarian diet:- Fruits: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries (although they should be limited)
- Non-starchy vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, summer squash, cabbage, lettuce, greens, Brussels sprouts, avocado, green beans, mushrooms
- Dairy: unsweetened nut milks
- Proteins: hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, natto, tempeh, spirulina, nutritional yeast, peanuts, tree nuts, hemp protein powder, peas, eggs and fish (optional)
- Fats: olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, nut butters, ghee (optional)

I find unsweetened nut milks to be a silly entry under dairy - especially since it's the only entry. It's not enough that they're calling "soaked nut liquid" a milk - now they want you to believe that it's actually a dairy product, just plant based.
They really don't know what they're doing when it comes to these lists though - If you eat more than a couple small servings of any of the items aside from the oils and ghee, you're going to get some carbs that will count towards your 25 g net. They don't even mention most green leafy veggies, and yet include things like peanuts and berries - well, there goes their carb allowance for the day!

Conversely, here are the foods you should avoid on the ketotarian diet:- Carbs: bread, pasta, rice, oatmeal, grits, tortillas, chips, crackers, cookies, cakes, pastries, ice cream
- Fruits: bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, mangoes, cherries, pineapples
- Starchy vegetables: sweet potatoes, corn
- Nightshades: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, white potatoes
- Dairy: cow’s milk, ice cream, yogurt
- Proteins: meat (beef, chicken, pork), beans, chickpeas, lentils, non-fermented soy products (tofu, black soybeans), seitan
- Fats: lard, bacon fat, seed oils

I'm surprised they felt the need to add the various meats, lard, and bacon to the lists of unallowed proteins and fats - don't vegetarians and vegans already avoid those?
