Lol. I guess it's very difficult on family gatherings. Especially considering that majority don't know that corn is not a vegetable but grain, so it comes as a shock that you can't eat even corn on the cob.

@@FeyonaT Corn that is harvested when the seeds are dry is considered a grain. Sweet corn when harvested before maturity is usually considered a vegetable. Sweet corn is grown to be eaten fresh as a vegetable rather than as a dried grain that would be ground into flour for example. So corn on the cob would thus be a vegetable (and the kernels are fruit actually)

[@DrDerekLiao]

Nice, it doesn't matter how healthy a diet could be, if it is difficult to stick, it's a recipe for a disaster.

[@Archangel591]

Really underrated concept. Diet adherence is one of the most important things. Eating super healthy for a week and then giving up and going back to eating full garbage is worse than someone who eats 95% garbage all the time. That one week of "healthy" does not do much anything. Which is why diets and lifestyles and focus on moderation are the best. Don't attempt to become a Pro athlete or lose 10kg a month. It's not sustainable for the vast majority of people, nor is it even healthy at that point. Extremism of any kind is unhealthy. Make smaller adjustments that can become part of your lifestyle, so that you can sustain them indefinitely. On day at the gym per week isn't a lot, but doing it for 50 years, is far better than going 5x for a few months and then giving up completely. Reducing the amount of junk food in the diet by 30% is going to be more sustainable and better for your health than a short term complete avoidance, followed by binging double the amount.

Getting a healthy dose of R&R (even if it's just for one week out of the year) coupled with a healthy dose of fear as a motivator (do you want to be comfortably retired at retirement age or do you want to work until the day you die) and then calculating how much you'll need to save for retirement (yes, in addition to anything your work provides like 401k and Thrift Savings Plan, etc.) to reach that 'comfortable' state, unless you don't mind working for the rest of your life (I know a few people who say they don't care if they work for the rest of their lives right now, but I know I'd prefer to be comfortably retired myself, lol.)

Unlike you, I wasn't eating a healthy diet before - I always ate way too much sugar/bread/white rice/pasta, just unhealthy carbs and not enough vegetables and fruit.

[@lydiabauer629]

I tried the whole 30 (age 20) to better understand my dietary habits and what certain foods do to my body. It basically showed me that I’m sensitive to lactose and gluten. It also showed how my eating habits really affected me in my energy, clarity, and overall performance in daily life. My skin cleared up, I slept better, waking up wasn’t a pain for the first time in my life! Now (age 25) I’ve used what I learned and make better habits with food. I agree with Doctor Mike that it’s a bit overboard and not necessarily the BEST diet BUT it is a clear set of rules to follow that can lead to better food awareness. I could’ve seen these changes by “just eating healthier” but I didn’t know what that meant when I was 20. 4.5 years later, I stick to simple food that’s unprocessed, while allowing treats here and there in moderation. I feel great.

All about “control” so I’ve been easier on myself and eaten some things (some healthy, some not, but not overdoing it) that aren’t on the plan. It’s tough get out of that mindset once you’re in it and small cheats have helped significantly...plus, I don’t think it really does what it says it does unless you’re severely unhealthy.

[@billmarshall268]

I feel like people that criticize this diet didn't do it right. Everybody I know that did it correctly had superb results.

[@KateLaChapelle]

I appreciate how you emphasize in both of your Whole30 videos that it's more of a challenge/protocol and isn't trying to be a diet you follow the rest of your life. When I did my Whole30, I was having serious digestive issues, but was unwilling to go to a doctor at the time and this seemed like a way to maybe help. Doing Whole30 helped me figure out that I was having issues with apples and led me down the path of researching low-FODMAP. I finally wound up seeing a gastroenterologist because I wanted to get a professional's opinion before I went down the road of a low-FODMAP protocol (I really didn't want to say goodbye to onion and garlic) and working with him found out I have celiac! So yeah, Whole30 is definitely not a cure-all and can't replace dealing with an actual medical professional, but I did find it really helpful when I wasn't mentally or financially (all my testing has cost me like $3k+) ready to work with a doctor yet.

I did whole 30 by a doctors recommendation and ended up in the ER. I am anemic and didn't realize it would hurt anything.

[@ellisewarner]

Hahaha

[@Dain75]

How is loose normal? Different clothes are supposed to fit differently. Some fit tighter than others. Like a corset is not loose.

[@LonaWu]

@@Dain75 it's a running joke here that Mike's clothes are for children because of how tight they are on him. So if he goes to a bit loose from usual tight, then suddenly it's in the range of what everyone would call a normal fit

@@TiMalice2009 Yes, but for some people it also mean getting drunk :/ When I was still a student, there was a club we would go once or twice a week with a friend, we would drink almost only water (which was for free too) and had lots of fun, while some people seemed not to be able to have fun, dance and enjoy themselves without booze, sure we would drink a glass or two of alcohol sometimes, but we really don't need alcohol to party. I find it kinda sad all those people who can't have fun without drinking alcohol and I hate when they try to push other people to drink alcohol as well.

Would love to hear you talk about the FODMAP diet! It was recommended to my from multiple specialists and I'm so far 5 months in and still in the reintroduction phase! I feel like it's still very new and there isnt much trustworthy information around it

[@amandasnider2644]

I was on the Fodmap diet for two years and never felt good enough to reintroduce food into the diet until I began to go to a naturopath and we figured it out together. Biggest thing was that I desperately needed to take digestive enzymes with every meal and I had a blood test to determine what I was actually sensitive of. I'd highly recommend going to a naturopath who also has training as a dietician as well

[@bexproctor360]

If never heard of that one ?

[@toshamccarty5115]

Great request. October/Nov 2018, a new doctor told me to go on it. I tried to do it and I actually felt worse and so stressed out about it that I had to quiet it or risk losing my mind while alienating my family. I decided to get a food allergy test instead. While that food allergy test had its issues it put me on to a "sensitivity" to pork. I was stunned. Thanksgiving ham was primarily the meat I ate starting out and I felt so ill afterwards. I never would have caught it going by the FODMOD diet, which allowed all meats but recommended limiting red meat, while cutting or limiting everything else I had been eating since 2008. Cutting out pork cleared up much of the sickness, well sever sickness I had been having every month for the last 3 years.

[@aaronboogie4469]

Wow! I can't believe you pulled that off in the middle of the holidays! I think another tip we can all take away is to not start an extreme diet like this during a month that we know there's going to be a lot of temptations. I think there's a reason why so many of us start our diet and exercise resolutions in January because it's generally a slow month for everyone.

[@PlayMobil554]

Hey mike! Love the vids! One thing that i would love to see is more about your life in NYC. I'm not from america but i would love to visit some day and NYC is definately on the bucketlist. Like what are your favourite places to go too? Whare do you live (Don't show us too much, you don't need any stalkers)? Nice resturants? Where do you go for fun? Could be a nice video idea and i think a lot of people would be interested! Keep up the good work! /Med. Student from Sweden

[@jellybeansbud3610]

Sugar yes, but a sugar-free sweet counts too 😉

[@emilygastelum6641]

It's still a valid statement though. My mom is diabetic and when her blood glucose gets too low (sleepy, foggy, feeling sick in general), she needs a piece of candy or something sweet to get it back to normal. It's not always about the high glucose but also when it gets dangerously low for a diabetic.

[@jordan4835]

[@tsukareppi]

Hi Dr. Mike. I've watched a lot of your "Tries the XX Diet" videos, and they are really educational. I notice that they are mostly about your experiences, how hard or easy they were, and how you felt. That gives a real feeling of what a person actually goes through. I don't know if it is feasible, but it would be really interesting to see some blood work before and after these diets to see if there have been any positive or negative changes at the end of each diet. You know, you being a doctor and all. ;)

[@gordonstandish2380]

Whole30: No legumes. Dr. Mike: *Eats peas* Whole30: ...

[@Digitalhunny]

Ah, Doctor Mike... Green peas _ARE_ a Legume!! You _should_ have just enjoyed everything at that Greek dinner. Strictly speaking, green peas are not vegetables. They are part of the legume family, which consists of plants that produce pods with seeds inside. Lentils, chickpeas, beans and peanuts (peanut butter) are also legumes. Had a friend whose child was _allergic_ to lentils & legumes. Sorry about this information at such a late time. Better luck _next_ time. 🤗🥂

[@Wuffskers]

Green beans, sugar snap peas, and snow peas are an exception to the no legumes rule

[@deevila9995]

Snow peas and sugar snap peas are allowed in Whole30

[@shannoneg2000]

@Petri Dish Without Germs Green peas, green beans and snap peas are allowed because they do not contain the same level of antinutrients and lectins that are more prevalent in other beans.

I'm so glad you address how this can either lead to or lean in the direction of disordered eating. If there is ever something to take to your doctor before going on a diet, it's the mental health aspect. If your doctor knows you have ED history, would they ever recommend a "diet"?
