Doctor Mike Tries KETO for 30 DAYS

[Music] it's keto time [Music] keto keto keto i challenged you to get my keto video to 20 000 likes and you surpassed that goal plenty and i'm actually really excited about this i'm unfortunately fresh out of a breakup so i'm more motivated than ever to change my lifestyle around be healthier look better i want to take you guys along for that journey my one month of keto starts now [Music] [Music] just do it all right i'm gonna have my very first keto meal it's the middle of the day i didn't have breakfast so i guess you could say i'm intermittent fasting today as well this is my meal here beef chili with o aksa cheese oh ok and cauliflower rice to my surprise the first few days of keto weren't that bad i was totally expecting that i would go with keto flu symptoms right off the bat it wasn't that bad i didn't have sugar withdrawal all right well i'm at the gym right now it's my first heavy workout while on keto and i gotta admit i'm incredibly tired and i got a good night's sleep so it's not because of that i suspect that it's probably because i haven't had carbs in four days or at least not enough to make me uh replenish my glycogen stores the weight stayed the same my strength was there but i fatigued much earlier in my sets can't even be certain it's to do to the keto diet but that's what was happening bro you're the worst all right my man just shot a shot made me drop my phone this guy right here wannabe basketball player all right today's my first day of cardio with keto on board and i gotta admit i'm feeling pretty tired i just beat both of these guys though i was able to keep up with them and my sprints were fine and my game was fine but i noticed that after a game or two when i would be somewhat out of breath i was totally burnt i was really tired much more than usual again not certain that it's 100 due to the keto diet but i do suspect keto is playing a role in my decreased stamina in my exercise wait wait the keto struggle is so real i'm eating cat food let me at least fix my hair make sure i look good while lisa is eating a healthy salad hi with some croutons in there yeah i'm eating cat food it's not cat food tell them about the cat food it's salmon damn cat food we're getting cat food it's right there that's called the keto struggle going into the second week of keto i was starting to struggle a lot with my food choices when i go to work and i'm going to be working a long shift i can't bring all of these goodies and avocado and all this stuff so what did i do i brought a thrive market can of salmon with some mayonnaise and i basically ate cat food eating a diet that's so high in fat i mean 75 of my calories were coming from fat it's difficult uh to maintain that and i don't plan well for example if i'm going to a big event i should probably eat beforehand i'm at the sebastian maniscalco concert the keto struggle is real because this guy is eating a full hot dog and i gotta suffer right now with this you have to plan ahead if you want to stick to keto because when you go to a fast food joint or a restaurant yes they may have a piece of meat but eating high protein is not keto you have to be eating high fat so you have to be thinking about what it is you're going to choose off the menu and you can get a cheeseburger that's very fatty has sauce on it that hopefully is carb free that's not optimal keto that's like the dirty keto that people talk about you're eating high saturated fats overcooked red meats using processed oils that's not something i generally recommend or want for myself two weeks in i already had some results showing my clothes were fitting better my abs were coming out of hibernation like one of them legit came out and said what up and i was like oh my god look it's my app i used to see you back in the day and then you started hibernating it did surprise me that after two weeks of keto i was already starting to see results and now i get why this diet is so popular amongst people who are trying to lose weight quickly and not that i'm advocating for that but it was nice to see results so early on and quite motivational i will say though the majority of the weight loss that happens in the first week or so is usually water weight that's not gonna be sustainable that speed of weight loss i feel like on keto i wake up really hungry normally i i don't mind skipping breakfast but on keto i'm starving it's probably because i'm eating so much less calories than usual getting into the later weeks of keto i was getting hungry that doesn't mean i wasn't satiated i mean eating a lot of fats you get full quickly and you're no longer hungry but when i say hungry i mean more like cravings bananas cookies and cream milkshakes and then i even noticed a pattern where i was hungry just because i was bored i had a high fat meal i had some sardines with guacamole i'm full and i want to munch on something i just want to eat some chips so i realized i like to board eat and on keto you really can't board eat unless you just eat nuts all day but how much i don't understand how many almonds you can eat in one day before you i think i broke keto i mean not technically i had uh several drinks last night that technically throws you out of keto they were not sugary drinks i just had soda and alcohol but that does technically take you out of ketosis at least for a short while so you probably think i'm a failure look we all make mistakes and two steps forward with one step back is still one step forward that's something that i want you to remember and take away from my keto journey if you mess up it's not the end of the world it doesn't mean that you're a failure yes i had a few drinks and it took me out of ketosis for a little bit because your body actually metabolizes the alcohol and uses that as energy instead of fats but it's fine as soon as i stopped drinking the alcohol the next day i was probably back in ketosis and everything was back on track so did it slow down my progress probably somewhat but it wasn't the end of the world if i treated it like it was the end of the world that would hurt my progress because that would demotivate me and cause me to order some cookies and cream milkshakes and we know we can't do that on keto i had a renewed determination to continue and finish my keto journey even at the mall one month of keto's in the books i made it i ate 75 of my calories from fat 20 from protein 5 from carbs i stuck to this bad boy but let's talk summary let's talk about what happened first and foremost body i started this diet at 208 pounds i ended i weighed in this morning at 202 pounds so that's a six pound weight loss in four weeks sounds pretty appropriate about a pound and a half per week my abs are showing a little bit more which gets me really excited for summer now when it comes to my mind i don't necessarily feel any big difference that jumps out but i do notice that i don't crash as much especially in the midday section let's talk recommendation [Music] for the average healthy person going on a short course of keto will help them lose some weight and it probably won't be detrimental to their health if you're going to start a new diet any diet for that matter go see your doctor and have that conversation figure out what are the benefits versus harms so you can make the most educated decision possible moving forward i hope you guys enjoyed me trying out keto if you want me to continue trying out weird things diets whatever drop it down below in the comments and smash that like button and
