This is an excellent playthrough video by prenatual I found on YouTube. All credit goes to him.

Description:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The Missing Link. Factory Zero playthrough.
Perfect ghosting (no enemies alerted). No take-downs (except "the boss room"), no aug upgrades, no weapons, no items (except quest-related). 'Give me Deus Ex' difficulty. 9/10 achievements earned (except That Old Adage, which requires CASIE aug).

Great solution. Just keep in mind that the creator seems to have done somewhat of a speedrun (at least in some places), and things like jumping off a high ledge and crouching 3meters above the ground while landing on a box you dropped just before jumping can be very difficult to do, the general path still works.
Also, even though the video doesnt show you getting the last achievement "That Old Adage", it tells you when to save and how to go about getting it.
Thumbs up!

awesome video... the guy is using a PC though so there are some things he can do easier than we can...
I'm having trouble around the 1:07:40 mark... somehow he's managing to "roll" the crate in front of him so as to not set off the turret. I can't figure out how he's doing this. If anyone has any advice for this part, I'm interested.

As the achievement dialogue states, you cannot use any weapon, grenade, or use any praxis points.
This means you can't utilize the points you earn by gaining levels EITHER. You need to do the entire DLC with the stock enhancements they provide. Just take your time, save often, and explore a lot. You'll be crawling through a lot of air ducts and scrounging for pocket secretaries a lot, since you won't be able to hack anything above level 1. Make sure you take down as many guards as you can - quite a few of them have pocket secretaries on them.
I would also recommend not even picking up any weapons, grenades or praxis kits. Just remove the chance for an accident and/or temptation. When you first get your gear back, there are two boxes on the floor - one for praxis kits (7) and another for guns. Don't open either one.
Good luck!

God damnit, the description should say "no Praxis points, or kits" because it makes u you assume you can use Praxis points from leveling up, just not Praxis kits. Thanks for this, I'll be doing it again super patient now that I know.

Yeah, it is poorly worded.
I'd also recommend saving at the point where you need to make a choice (you'll know when it is). After you get this achievement you can go back to that save, spend some of your praxis points (since you already got this one) and do the "All of the above", "apex predator", "back stage pass", and "That old adage" achievements. Three of those need specific enhancements to even be accomplished.

I completed the entire add on including all achievements on easy setting in 8 hours, its actually pretty easy as long as you use stealth to your advantage remembering you only have 2 energy bars and only single takedowns so if your up against 2 guys either avoid them or take 1 out and hide till your bar fills up if you had just 1 bar to begin with.
You can use pro energy bars, painkillers as much as you like just dont use weapons, praxis kits or grenades..
If like me your going for the clean sweep in 1 run make use of save points you only need to use a weapon once in the entire add on to blast the cylinder to save both the prisoners and the scientist so make a save point use the weapon get the achievement and revert back to the save point and then choose 1 or the other.
Dont even bother picking up grenades and when you visit the store only purchase what you need i.e pro energy bars, etc..
Drop all weapons you may pick up and never have them equipped and this achievement will be a breeze.

so u can set off alarms still and ull be ok? as nothing says u did it with out triggering alarms this int foxiwst of the hounds? can u confirm please???

You can set off alarms it doesnt have anything to do with the achievement just dont touch your Praxis Kits and if you have to for another achievement make sure you have a save point to go back and continue with, Foxiest Of Hounds is a completely different achievement and only for single player campaign not DLC...
No Praxis Kits, No Explosives, Weapons so stealth is the best way to go and of course hand to hand combat.

A truly infuriating (I won't express just how much here because it would only descend into a string of vehement profanity and I don't want to annoy the moderators) and badly programmed achievement. It's clearly scripted off a trigger press merely by having a weapon picked up and selected, meaning even if your gun never fires or a grenade never gets thrown, you can still lose. Lazy and aggravating.
It doesn't register whether you use items/weapons, but whether you UNHOLSTER them. I never fired once on my first playthrough, nor did I throw any grenades.
Obviously I was used to picking up any items I found as is standard in Deus Ex so did that but made sure not to use them. Did all the stealth stuff elegantly, thought I did really well but NOPE. *quiet seething* As if the missing textures etc. on Xbox One backwards compatibility aren't galling enough.....
Anyway in case anyone's in the same position (my sympathies): I managed to get it by just putting the game on the lowest difficulty, being careful not to pick ANY weapons or grenades up, checking my inventory regularly, cheesing as much as possible, running, sponging a lot of bullets, getting angry at the references to my lack of stealth (I WONDER WHY), and using the game's own dumb enemy AI against it. Then it unlocked at the end. It can still take about an hour and a half from dying and reloading but it's a hell of a lot quicker than stealthing it.
I'll strongly reiterate that health and energy consumables are also fine as others have said.
REALLY not how I like to game but like hell was I gonna do it properly again and it took way less time.
Hope this helps.
PS. If you haven't got all the achievements yet, save regularly, so you can revisit a couple of relevant stages. Personally I was laser focused on getting this one first but luckily two of the remaining ones are very close to the end, literally just before the last section.

I will post an incredible video guide that I used to obtain all the trophies is one playthrough. (Well technically you can only get 9 of them, but if you reload your final save you can get the final trophy)
All credit goes to prenatual.

A list of things you will want to take into account:
- Do NOT use any praxis points to upgrade your augmentations.
- Do NOT fire a weapon or use an explosive.
- You CAN pick up a weapon or explosive.
- Stealth and takedowns are key.
You will want to stealth your way through this DLC to get the achievement. Getting into gunfights isn't a good idea, because obviously, you can't use guns. You're limited to level 1 hacks ONLY, you can only takedown 1 enemy at a time, and you will have to wait the maximum amount of time for your energy to restore so you can use more takedowns.
This achievement may seem daunting, but if you approach it right, it isn't too bad.

Just as the description says: do not upgrade any augments (use Praxis kits), use any weapons or toss any explosives (mines or grenades; explosive barrels, if thrown, do not count 
).
This DLC does not take that long, and honestly, is not that difficult. If you do not feel confident breezing through this mission without any handy augments, then play on the easiest difficulty.
Stealth is key here, as well as exploring the areas thoroughly. You won't have the abilities upgraded, such as hacking, so anything above a Level 1 will be off limits UNLESS you can find an alternate route (and they exist). Also, leaving enemies alone OR dealing with them one at a time will make things much, much easier for you since you only have 2 fuel cells, and no upgrades on how quickly the first one regens.
DO NOT PICK UP ANY WEAPONS AT ALL. Seriously, just leave them where they lay. Do not even give yourself the opportunity to make an error and put a gun in your hands. If you want to sell the guns, I say do not worry about it - there are plenty of pain killers, energy bars and hypostims laying around so you literally will not need to buy anything.
If you get stuck in an area, and can not seem to find a route around a secure door or laser grid, then refer to the below articles; there are some keycodes and passwords for SOME, not all, of the doors/terminals:

Highly Missable! You must complete The Missing Link without using any Praxis kits, weapons, or explosives. Check out the Factory Zero section in the roadmap for more information. If you need a guide, checkout the complete Video Walkthrough.

To receive this trophy you must:
- NEVER use PRAXIS upgrade points, whether taken from the map, received as bonuses for completing quests, or received when leveling up;
- do not use any weapons, including non-lethal ones;
- DO NOT perform lethal neutralizations (for these you need to use the blades built into the elbows, which apparently counts as using implants);
- do not throw grenades, mines and other special equipment.
I’m not sure about products that increase health, energy levels and other benefits. I personally ran with empty equipment, so I didn’t use anything.

It’s quite difficult, but you can never turn on the alarm or light up.
Plus it shows how to get all the other Missing Link trophies in one playthrough.
