Yes
@SOC, that has definitely been a bit of a conundrum for me, too; I'm intolerant to dairy (butter seems maybe ok), and almost all therapeutic ketogenic models use dairy pretty heavily. (However, it is
almost all, not all-there is an MCT-heavy model, which uses relatively large proportions of MCT oil and coconut oil along with other medium-chain triglycerides. That one is touted (not sure how established this is) as maintaining ketosis more easily than the other models, even if more vegetables, etc are consumed.)
HOWEVER, either way, this paper does not necessarily suggest a purely ketogenic diet, as I understand it--it suggests trying to use both the protein-dependent and the fat-dependent pathways to supplement or circumvent the glucose-dependent glycolysis pathway. So Paleo would seem as plausible as ketogenic, based just on this paper. And then individual preferences and characteristics would of course inform any choices.
I have a lot of neurological issues that lead me towards trying a ketogenic diet for myself, but that may well not be true for everyone . . . tagging
@jeff_w since he has tried a ketogenic diet and may be interested in this thread and/or the paper and/or
@JaimeS's most excellent blog post.
Oh, and this is all IF the idea holds up, of course.
And also thinking out loud...
