The average person's diet is mostly UPFs and is full of supplemented foods rather than building up nutrition from sources like spinach + OJ + cooking for iron, carrots for vitamin a, and so on. B12 isn't too bad because nutritional yeast, soy milk, and many other sources have a good amount of B12, as that is mostly a vitamin supplemented into foods.
The biggest concerns I know of for vegans are iron, omega 3's, and B vitamins if it's a purely raw vegan diet. Protein can also be a struggle for especially active individuals, especially on a raw diet. For a diet with some supplemented or enriched processed (not necessarily ULTRA processed) foods like soy milk, the main concerns are iron (it'd require careful tracking and of course increasing absorption through means like adding vitamin C), omega 3's (ALA and EPA omega 3's from flax seeds and the likes aren't as good, but I'm sure authentic olive oil and seaweed can help), and I guess Vitamin K(3?) that liver has (I don't actually know what the vegan alternative would be, but I know kale has some type of Vitamin K in some capacity).
From further research:
1. Zinc is hard to get, but soaking overnight before cooking seems to help with this as well. Phytates and lectins can both be abated by doing this. Unsure about other anti-nutrients, but it seems boiling or steaming can abate oxalates (found in most plant foods) that inhibit calcium and iron absorption.
2. Calcium, Vitamin D, and a few other elements are harder in raw diets.
3. Iodine is hard to get without iodized salt.
Lol.
People are different. Different bodies require a different diet.
At any rate, in case anyone else is wondering, the overwhelming majority of "real scientists" don't recommend keto or carnivore diets at all. The Mediterannean and DASH diets offers the same short-term benefits without the long-term chronic issues.
Like... if we supposed to eat carnivore. His data kinda goes against evolution since we haven't evolved carnivores teeth.
