The study, published in the journal Sex Roles, involved 146 undergraduate students of varying ethnicities in same- or mixed-gender pairs. The students were all assigned both a self-disclosure task, where the goal of the conversation was to facilitate sharing and listening between friends, and a negotiation task, where friends had to make a decision together and make a case for their point of view.

Here, we explain how to do a vegan keto diet (which goes a step beyond the mostly plant-based keto 2.0 diet), the potential benefits and risks, and who may want to try it. “A vegan keto diet follows the same principles [as keto] but without any animal-derived products, like meat and dairy,” says cardiologist and plant-based diet proponent Joel Kahn, M.D. The ideal macronutrient breakdown (i.e., percentage of your daily calories coming from fat, protein, and carbs) for a keto diet typically looks something like this: Some experts have expressed concern that—depending on how it’s formulated—a traditional keto diet may be too high in animal-based saturated fats and low in heart- and gut-friendly fiber....
