Assuming you eliminate all carbohydrates: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet

You would have to eliminate all carbs to achieve ketosis, not just cut on sugar which was the topic of this thread. It should be noted that, since an animal-based diet has a very large ecological footprint, if a significant part of the world population switched to it, we would have an unprecedented global environmental crisis, unless alternative forms of animal diet (e.g. insects) become mainstream.
