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!

    What we learned from this video: Dr Mike is single
  • @brenna1425
    my mom had a diabetic scare in july of 2021, her blood sugar was around 470 and she switched to keto instantly with no hesitation. it’s now February 2022 and she’s lost about 50lbs and she can now sometimes have dessert at dinner and is introducing more carbs into her diet. I’m very very proud of her.
  • My dad has been on Keto for 3 years so far. He started it as an experiment during Covid and decided to keep going. He has lost so much weight and has gone down from large clothing to medium. I’m very proud of him
  • @beckytaylor6885
    You lost me at "break up." Does not compute. Internal error. That can't possibly be right.
  • Comment section: 10% - reactions and follow up questions 90% - He's now single

    I did strict keto for 3 months to reverse type 2 diabetes. I am now pre-diabetic. I Lost 50 lbs, got off all meds and loved the diet. I did not have carb cravings. Stayed on the keto diet for 3 yrs but relaxed on the strict carb restrictions a little.
  • I’m on Keto right now and have so far lost 5 kgs over about 3/4 weeks, even with a few slips now and then I’ve still lost weight, now that I’m starting to control myself I feel like the diet is going to be so much easier
  • @leahv3299
    Has a breakup Normal person: eats a whole pizza and a pint of ice cream Dr. Mike: goes on a diet
  • When he said "I was hungry just cuz I was bored", I couldn't have related any more.
  • @TheSaboorAnsari
    Thanks Dr. Mike. You make staying healthy and learning about our bodies so much fun and interesting. ❤️👍🏻
  • @DonPiccolo
    This was actually super motivating for me, since I just started Keto today. Thanks, Doc.
  • @minddrift7152
    So he's single, a doctor, a very social person, goes to bars/clubs and concerts, works out and plays basketball with Bros...what in God's name am I doing with my life?!
  • @TheLawndryman
    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.
  • 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.

    “I want to look better” excuse me?
  • @blackmamaessa
    Did he just say, "fresh out of a break up?" very interesting information
  • @MagmaFace
    Thank you for this video! I just tried a 30 day keto diet myself.. not for weight reasons, but for my terrible cystic acne and general health 😥If there is anyone out there doing the diet for skin reasons or health reasons, I'd love to know if it's helped you. I am documenting my progress on my YT channel with before and after pictures, so I can look back to see what is working for me. I am so insecure of my face and skin... it sucks.
  • @MicheleDoenges
    My doctor recommended somewhere between South Beach Diet and Keto for me to combat my PCOS and Insulin Resistance. Thanks for making this video. It really helped give me a visual idea of what that's gonna look like.
