Doctor Mike Tries KETO for 30 DAYS

The Ketogenic or Keto diet has gotten A LOT of media coverage in the last few years. I decided to follow up my original Keto video with one where I actually try out the diet for myself.
I was not surprised that the keto diet was difficult to stick to because of the restrictive nature of it. However, the weight loss and other benefits were definitely noticed and fairly early on into the diet.
If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Medical Drama Review Series this Sunday so please submit more names of shows/episodes you'd like for me to watch. Love you all!

You can definitely eat salad, veggies, and some fruit like strawberries and blackberries. It's also about net carbs, meaning total amount of carbs minus fiber. Coffee during the morning/mid-day helped me during IF, and Keto Ice Cream (erythritol) helped with cravings.

@magmaface you should follow Dr. Boz (Dr. Annette Bosworth). She VERY scientific and has a plan laid out for you to follow to get back to health. She is a terrific educator. I would advise you to get her book Keto Continuum. I'm reversing diabetes, high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, improving sleep and more. She can educate you on what you need, so you can then coordinate with your doctor for your specific situation. Wish you the best.

Yeah, depending your your stage of health, you could feel pretty sick on Keto, but that is just your body flushing out all the toxins.

[@sevenember3332]

It’s not so much “flushing out toxins” as it is forcing your body to start using fat as its fuel source instead of carbs. You crave carbs more intensely during that time (at least I did, esp. sweets) because your body hasn’t made the switch yet and that’s the cause of fatigue

Your keto journey was very different from mine. I’ve been doing keto for five years now. I will say it is very hard socially and you definitely have to plan your meals and snacks but personally I do like it. I do break sometimes and that’s tough becoming one donut becomes a whole pizza for dinner but when I am strong and stick with it I see results quickly. When I started I didn’t have the flu either because I was told to keep my electrolytes up and that worked for me. I know when im in ketosis or not based on my energy. When I’m in ketosis my mind so clear and I am full of energy (not hyper or jittery) and when I break keto I just wana sleep all day and my mind goes crazy. Overall it works for me but it does take discipline. What helped me in the beginning was counting my macros and looking up every ingredient of what I ate. After I figured that out, I don’t have to be so strict and it’s much easier for me now. The last thing I’ll say is that for the last year I’ve reduced my fat intake so I primarily eat protein and try to stay below 20 meg carbs a day… o li don’t even worry about adding fat it is what it is. Thank you for sharing your journey and I hope to see an update on any new thoughts on the low carb diet in general.

Love your channel, Dr. Mike. Please consider composting that food you threw in the trash at the beginning or giving it to someone. You are so much fun and interesting to watch. Thank you!

You forgot to comment that the keto diet got started to fight epilepsy and has made a renewal in past years for the same reason. Also, true keto is much stricter (higher fats and lower carbs or not necessarily figuring net carbs) and what the average dieter calls keto for the purpose of weight loss, is more like the modified Atkins diet (or modified ketogenic diet) for the purpose of seizure control. Though the strict ketogenic diet has been found to be successful for many children with epilepsy, the modified versions (lower fat, higher protein, and slightly higher carbs) is successful with about 50% of adults who try it.

Like I mentioned in my other comment, on Keto, your body begins to eat the fat within you. This gets rid of your excess fat as well as supplys you with constant energy and stops your energy levels from dropping and rising. Also, the cravings are from your lack of sugar. The sugar in things increase your cravings, sometimes, you can even mistake your cravings for hunger. Do not snack either, because everytime your eat, you raise Insulin, which isn't good to do all the time. (Hold back on the nuts too...) This is why it is much better to rather have 2 large, fatty meals with a great amount of salad with it in a day. If you snack between meals, it could also take you out of Ketosis and set you back a day or 2, depending on what you have. My family has been doing the Keto diet for about a month, and it is NOT just for weight loss. It has improved our energy, skin, my mother's hair has started growing back and looking fresh as ever. On top of it all, it has fixed mine, my brother's and my father's 'Leaky Gut' and has cured my father's crazy psoriasis (which he's had for about 6 years). It has also saved my other brother from getting diabetes. Keto is the way folks! 😁

I have been diabetic since 2007. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I have just recently started Keto. I have found that I have to constantly check my glucose levels because I am hanging between 80 and 88. I usually have a low during the middle of the night and have to eat or drink something to bring it back up. I feel that this brings me out of ketosis sometimes. The struggle is real but I will figure it out. Being pills and insulin dependent for my diabetes, it makes it really hard to keep my sugars high and low enough. Great video, thanks for posting.

I first watched this several months ago and it discouraged me from trying Keto/very low carb. However, recently I have started trying it. I am already off one of my diabetes meds and have lost 15 pounds. One thing I would like to ask. As you cleaned your kitchen of all the non Keto items, were any of them donated to a food pantry? I saw a lot of waste there, especially with the fruits. When I cleaned out my pantry, I donated anything unopened and unexpired that I could. Hunger is a real problem in this country. I sent most to tornado victims in south western Kentucky.

I lost more than he did by just going on a calorie controlled diet. My starting weight was less than his too. Keto is just a pretentious name for a calorie controlled diet. Meat doesn't have a lot of calories. Biscuits do. So he just avoided high calorie foods and ate low calorie foods for a month. It's a bit of a scam pretending that it is something different from a low calorie diet. Just do what I did and get one of those apps that count your calories. Don't eat any biscuits or cake otherwise you will starve. Eat meat because it has low calories. Eat anything you want as long as it is not too dense in calories. It's much better than this diet.

When I did Keto, I added in a few more restrictions and I'm not sure how much credit I can give to those additional factors but they go as follows.. The 5% carbs couldn't come from from refined sugar, and not all at once I did Intermittent Fasting, 18/6 roughly Avoided artificial sweeteners Avoided alternate versions of foods that normally wouldn't be keto (bread, cookies, chips, pizza, etc, but made with "keto approved" ingredients) Pretty much avoided anything marketed towards keto, I was very skeptical and did a lot of research into specifics of everything I purchased and ate Tried to eat home made, natural, unprocessed food whenever possible When forced to eat out..lettuce wrapped beef burgers with cheese and bacon, no sauces, extra lettuce. No diet sodas, only water with lemon Tried not to rely on dairy too much for my macro nutrients, rather have more nuts, for me it was pecans Tried to get in as many vegetables as I could stomach with my meals I did not restrict calories, my goal was never weight loss, it was to combat the inflammation in my joints. I basically ate as much as I reasonably could, during my window, while maintaining the ratio and getting in as much nutrients as possible. I lost about 12% of my body weight in the first 3 months and while I couldn't sustain the diet due to social and financial constraints, it was the best 3 months of my life, and the weight stayed off even after a year of not being on the diet. Notable difference from this video, for me, is that instead of getting hungrier and craving, those became less and less the longer I was on the diet. The mental clarity was not debatable, it was huge, as was the drop in inflammation. I also had more energy, at any given time, than I had normally. Unfortunately as one of the cons, said energy depleted much faster and took longer to restore, like in the video. A second con, for me living in northern Canada, I was much more susceptible to the cold weather while on keto, my body didn't run hot anymore but that was awful in the winter.
