Love this! Very educational and would love more diet review videos. It’ll help keep everyone informed and debunk a lot of those myths. Safe to say I will probably never do the keto diet, I love pasta too much 😂😋
For 95-99% of the people: Eat a balanced diet and not to much for the rest of your life. The sceptic guide to the Galaxy podcast discussed a large meta study regarding this about 4 weeks ago.
Keto works, thats for sure! You just need to know how exactly to use it and what exactly to eat! Check customketo4u.com they create an 8 week ketogenic meal plan just for you, with all recipes and even a shopping list 👍
My wife and I had tried to conceive for 7 years with no success. After numerous unsuccessful fertility treatments, we finally found a doctor who treats patients with food. It actually happens to be ketogenic diet. Thank God for internet (access to information) that lead us to this doctor. The reason we could not conceive was because our bodies were inflamed due to excessive consumption of carbohydrates. All we had to do 3 months of ketogenic diet. And I emphasize just as the doctor emphasized, it has to be at least 3 months. Thank God and of course the doctor, the miracle has happened! Now we have a beautiful little girl, and another one on the way! Great video content! Thanks! Wishing you all good health!
I have hypothyroidism and trying keto was really bad to me...But what about who has hypothyroidism and intermittent fast? Can people like me do this intermittent fast? I don´t think so
I am a Big Fan Dr. Mike. I request you to make a video on depression and loneliness. Cuz I am sure a lot of people suffer from this. Please make one :) ❤️
I have tried every diet out there and Keto has been the only one that works. I im in my 20s, down 70+ lbs in less than a year. Diets are not one size fits all. I was carb addicted and within days of starting the diet, I felt no cravings and have had no problems since. My medical labs are better than ever and I feel great!
Yeah, but the foods you're eating don't make you wanna die. Thats why it works for me. If you restrict calories, but hate what you're eating you will eventually relapse. Keto is delicious and sustainable for me, not for everyone. And it makes you feel full much quiker. I love it!
"keto is caloric restriction" Wrong. You eat until you're not hungry. Keto is keto, whether you eat 200 calories or 4000. I lost 12 pounds in a month so far, and haven't "got off my ass" at all. If you have to exercise, either you're too stressed or you're doing the diet wrong.
I’ve been on Keto, or trying to for 5 months. Retired 67 yrs old male, went from 210 to 165 lbs. I’ve got more energy than ever, in fact, I walk between 10,000 and 18,000 steps almost every day (5 to 9 miles). Some days I’m sure I let a few too carbs in, but I’ve been real good about throwing out processed foods, anything with sugar, starch, and high fructose corn syrup. I miss pasta, rice, potatoes, decadent desserts, but since I’m at the weight I want to be at, I’ll allow myself a departure. I also gave up a pretty heavy beer habit. I kind of obsessed over pre diabetes so I tested for glucose and ketones every day with an affordable meter. I don’t know what my numbers were before the diet, but recent A1C is 4.8. The thing I’d like to emphasize is because your eating more saturated fats, you don’t get hungry. It takes a a week or 2, but eventually when your are fat adapted, 1 meal a day, or eating inside a window of say 18 hours fast, 6 hours eating, is quite easy. Eventually I found I could go 72 hours without eating anything, just coffee, tea or water. Never got hungry. I only stopped because I felt I should eat. Bowel habits improved, chronic cracked heels disappeared, sleep much better, and my mind is sharper. I’m not going to go back ever to the Standard American Diet. That’s what causes BMI issues and pre diabetes, I’m convinced.
Try shirataki noodles as a pasta substitute. They come packaged in water and have almost no carbs. They can be found in Asian grocery stores and some other stores as well. They stink of the sea when you open them, but rinsing removes much of the smell and cooking in a sauce removes the smell completely. I keep several packages on hand in my fridge.
Same here, been doing it for a couple years now. Never going back to the S.A.D diet again. It's disgusting how much dextrose, maltodextrin, and fructose is in literally everything. Looking at it now, all I'm doing is stripping out the processed garbage that fills the majority of grocery stores.
I started keto after thanksgiving to help reduce my migraines. My doctor recommended it. I lost 18 pounds in the first 3 weeks. 7 months in and I’m down 60 pounds and my migraines are virtually gone. I feel so much better now, too.
I'm on keto + IF OMAD. Lost 67lbs in just under 6 months, AND put on 10-12 lbs in muscle. And you can drink on keto, Vodka for example has no insulin or glucose response. Your body will burn off the calories 1st but it does not knock you out of ketosis. Just watch the extra calories.
DH SPEK'S I basically just ate all of my own old recipes, but tweaked the recipe ingredients to cut out non-keto foods. Look at the book Keto in 28. It was a super affordable and very informative book that helped. I just had all of my blood work done and my results came back excellent!
DH SPEK'S - I've been on Keto for 1 full year now. I've lost 104 lbs. "From 286 down to 181.8 currently". I'm not bothered if my meals are boring, so I eat the same exact thing every day. Breakfast- 3 egg omelette, 1/4 cup cheese, water, bacon or sausage, water. Lunch- 10-12oz of ground beef, taco seasoning, 1 full cup lettuce, 1/4 cup cheese, a TON of sour cream, lots of hot sauce. Dinner- Same exact thing as lunch only with chicken and only 8-10oz. I also take a multi vitamin, fish oil, and a 0 carb pre workout for gym days.
I'm just starting this diet. How have you been feeling without fruits and vegetables. Do you feel healthy without them and get them through your multi vitamin? If so, maybe I'll try it your way. Do you use coconut oil and butter when you cook? Would love to hear back when you have time. Please be careful with so much meat. It's acidic, making it a perfect environment for cancer to grow. But then they say cancer needs to be fed sugar to survive. But if you add turmeric to your meats, they say it makes it safer. That's what I did when I had cancer. Keep safe. Looks like you're doing great! And it sounds like you're a Mexican food lover like I am with making taco salads. Yum!
I’m waiting as well. I am also willing ... on my limited knowledge to debate him on the negatives. (1) a ketogenic diet can be broken ... you just have to get back on the diet (2) people all over the world are staying on a keto diet ... it can be done (3) His claim it lacks nutrition, pray tell ... what nutrient is lacking???? I claim it’s more complete than a vegan diet! (4) harms the kidneys? I thought that was high protein ... which isn’t ketogenic? Evidence please? ... is that enough, good job on your pillars of longetivity, the research on blue zones and telomeres supports you but I think you have some work to do in the ketogenic arena ... and nice RUclips channel, good job on the video creation
I’ve been on keto for months now and lost a lot of weight and feel great. And I didn’t have the keto flu because I made sure to get enough electrolytes. Keto is my life style, not a diet. I love it!
I never had keto flu - my body was super happy from day one. And over time, my arthritis knee pain has reduced by at least 2/3. I have no desire to ever go back.
Battery Life Add salt, eat salmon, eat avocados, pickle juice post workout is a life saver. When you first start out, a lot people supplement their magnesium. Just take some time to google which foods have the highest level of each electrolyte and incorporate these foods into your daily diet.
Been off and on for about 1.5 years, mostly on. Times I’ve cheated were where abroad on vacation and the like. I’ll never go back. I came from powerlifting and bodybuilding. I’ve been a macro counter for years. Never had an issue with carbs aside from cutting season. I hang out around 245lbs now (power lifted at 280 and bodybuilding around 260) these aren’t good weights even at 6’4. No more joint pain, no more wanting to binge eat etc. plus! Now I only eat Whole Foods. Best part about it, in my opinion.
I have been living a ketogenic lifestyle for over a year now and it has been the best decision. I used to be anemic, had migraines all the time, and was always tired. I don't even get migraines anymore and my energy levels are through the roof. The thing that really gets me going is that my hair looks better too! Hyper
Dr. Mike, I'm vegetarian and thinking of going vegan. Can you make a video about the benefits & disadvantages of a plant-based diet? THANK YOU!! You're my favorite!! 🙌🙌
Lol there are so many nurses and doctors on here who advocate for the keto diet. Daphne Reloaded is a great channel on here, she’s a nurse and ex-vegan of 15 or so years, who has gone full-carnivore to reverse the years of damage the vegan diet caused. She goes into great detail about the deception of the modern day vegan health nuts, while thoroughly explaining how our bodies THRIVE on a diet high in animal fat and protein. These are the medical professionals who actually took the time to research the science behind our current obesity epidemic, our current sugar addiction (and inundation: sugar is in everything now), and have decided to sift through all the bullshit taught to them and the public by our government (the food pyramid, for example, recommends 6-11 SERVINGS of grains/carbs a day... to our body that’s 6-11 servings of SUGAR). Another example would be the stigma behind saturated fat and cholesterol. Our body NEEDS fat and cholesterol to regenerate the cells in our vital fatty organs. Please research LDL cholesterol, and how it has zero to do with indicating inflammation or an unhealthy heart. The real indicator of heart health is our ratio of true cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL, what many consider the “good cholesterol”, though it’s not even cholesterol lol) There’s a great video on here explaining the double standard between alcohol and sugar. You don’t think twice about handing your kid a jolly rancher or nerd rope, but we’d never consider once to crack open a beer for our kids. Ironically enough, our liver goes through the same taxing chemical process whenever we consume carbohydrates, especially in high amounts. Anyways that concludes another rant on this video. I cannot stand the amount of propaganda being spread which defends a diet which would never ever occur in nature.
@@reggieshmeggie4219 , so Dr. Jason Fung is also just another freak like sv3rige? Dr. Sarah Hallberg too? I guess every doctor who doesn't agree with you must be some sort of quack right? Fact is, while a keto diet isn't for everyone, there is mounting evidence that it is saving lives. (especially those with type 2 diabetes) Besides, sv3rige is a psychotic carnivore. He isn't a keto pusher lol That guy is just as insane with his new carnivore diet as he was with his stupid vegan one.
@@sativadva yeah because nurses go to med school and are diet and reasearch experts. Humans aren't primal malnutritioned cave dwellers on the verge of extinction anymore, get over it and eat your baked chicken and veggies.
I've just found your channel last night and I've been watching all of them. I think I have a doctor crush. You are so smart and funny and happy and kind. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and personality with the world.
I’ve been keto now for over four years and I find it very easy to maintain and the food is delicious. My cholesterol numbers are perfect but even more importantly, no more dangerously high triglycerides. The only fault I’ve found so far with keto is the sad fact that I didn’t find out about it years sooner than I did. Keto is so easy for me to stick with and I will not allow anything or any so called special occasion to derail me. My health is way too important to me.

I told one of my girl friends that I have been on the Keto diet for a few weeks, and she seemed quite unsure about it until she watched your video. She sent me the link to your video and now here I am, watching even though I'm already on this diet. I will be spending the rest of my day watching your videos! Hahaha
I really think that Keto Diet depends a lot of the lifestyle of each person and how carb sensitive they are. I went keto for about half a year and I felt terrible, I started to lost hair, I lost my period and had low energy everyday even though I was doing clean and healthy keto. So I discovered that my body feels better in a moderate to high carb diet with appropriate calorie intake for my body. Now I can lose weight eating whatever I want in moderation and I have lots of energy all the time also my hair stopped falling and my hormones are getting back to healthy levels.
@Adriana A I was eating on my maintenance calories and my macros were 70% fat /25% protein/ 5% carbs. I ate a lot of healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, salmon, almonds and olives but even so it affected my overall health.
I really appreciate that you are focused on evidence and facts rather than than assumptions. As someone who followed the Keto Diet for a while and did a lot of research on it when my doctor recommended it for migraines and epilepsy, there are a lot of people who are misguided and get their information for celebrity news sites. Keto is not for everyone, because we all have different bodies and experiences. Some people love carbs and do enough exercise to not need to do specifically low carb, while some people feel that keto keeps them from overeating. It all depends on your lifestyle and what the doctor says. I love carbs, but Keto allowed me to stay in control and not overeat (while also doing IF and occasionally OMAD).
Someone literally mentioned to me today how they’re going to try the keto diet and I thought to myself “I really need to look this up!” I’m so glad you made this! I’m a nutrition major and I love your videos! They’re so easy to understand and they’re definitely easy on the eyes 😁😍😂
Keto has been great for my hormone imbalance, so many of my PCOS symptoms are alleviated from this way of eating. I agree it’s not for everybody or even most, but for hormone regulation it can be life changing.
I started the keto diet a few years ago. I'm an RN and I've been type 2 diabetic on insulin for years. I lost 45 lbs the first year and lowered my cholesterol readings, improved my liver enzymes, I was able to reduce the insulin I took to an occasional dose rather than Lantus 80 units plus Humalog 20 units per meal. BUT you are right it is very hard to sustain. I found out something else. Since I had given up grains I realized that I was gluten intolerant. No more diarrhea as long as I stay off grains. Withdrawing from sugars was great too. I can go through the store and avoid all the snacks and not feel deprived. In addition my husband and I found permaculture gardening. He's retired so we bought some chickens and grow our own food. We also have some beehives as a hobby but I don't eat the honey. We give it away or sell it. My hubby lost 130 lbs on the paleo diet and reversed his kidney disease. His doctor said he is his example patient for others that need to lose weight to prevent a life of dialysis.
I doubt it will be a genuine outcome. He already has dismissed it in his mind and knows what he's going to be saying. You're better off looking at the scientific proof with a non dogmatic minded professor/doctor
i love the mental clarity you get when in ketosis. it is like somebody flicking a switch and your brain starts to work. the difference is amazing. unless you have experienced it, you will never know how good it feels
From what I've heard on the podcasts I follow your risk of heart disease eating meat/fat is only an issue if you consume sugar and large amounts of carbs with it. Also, the study linking meat consumption to heart disease didn't specify where the meat was coming from so it could have been from people eating burgers and fries everyday therefore they checked off that they eat meat. They also never inquired as to what they were eating for the rest of their diet, it could have been milkshakes and cookies. That being said I'm not an expert and I didn't conduct any studies of my own.
Vindelextreme 2.0 Why there has never been evidence that it isn’t, heart disease is caused by sugar not fat, and cholesterol like fat, is required for human health, now it’s best to buy grass fed butter.
Lost 60lbs in the last 5 months so far on the Keto Diet. Stop insulin dependability with my type2 and can actually be considered borderline as of blood work at my next appointment. As a diabetic, I was already used to cutting carbs and sugars so KEto came natural. But it isn't about just dieting and sitting around. I go to the Gym at least 3 times a week and count my calorie intake as well. It is a lot of work but I am loving the results.
thanks roger i too am on keto DAY #3! haha but i love it and have done it before lost 30 pounds and kept it off for 2 years not on keto. cant wait to hit my goals!
uh a persons calorie intake is very personal. I would suggest you calculate your own TDEE Total Daily Energy Expenditure. There are lots of calculators online so you won’t have to do the math yourself. That way you can see how many calories you should eat :D
Hi I'm on the same way search for an app called carb manager put that you are on keto diet and it will give your macros right away also you have to put what type of activity you do on a daily basis
@@sheilacasandraparra2101 I use Carb Manager... helps regulate your meals. I also only eat 2 meals a day with intermittent fasting of 8hrs on 16 hours off meals meaning I do not eat after 4pm and will not eat again until 8 the next morning. I am now down 110lbs and my numbers are better than ever. My daily carbs for my height, age, and weight at this point is about 2300 a day, but I cut that to 2000 even. I generally take in about 1500 to 1700 to be exact.
i actually did try keto first and i always feel sick, that is the reason why i switched to a different diet which is agoge diet, i have never felt better, not just that i feel great but i can see changes on me as well, it really helped me lose weight by still enjoying my meals
I have type 2 diabetes and was obese. I lost 100 pounds doing the keto diet and have since reversed all of my diabetic symptoms. I have been doing keto now for 3 1/2 years. When I compare my health and how I felt before keto, I would say the keto diet is actually quite easily sustainable. Also, one thing Doctor Mike didn't not mention is how intermittent fasting can be incorporated into the keto diet and make it even easier to maintain. But he is right, it's not for everyone.
Ive recently started following the ketogenic diet with the *HyperKeto* plan, and I have to admit, Im seeing some impressive results! Energy all day long, and the fat is melting away.
I have struggled with weight my entire life and feel as though I’ve tried every “diet” imaginable. One month ago I began the Keto diet and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. In the first month I’ve lost 20 pounds. As great as that is it’s not even the best part. After cutting out the carbs and sugar I’ve felt the best that I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Before I was constantly tired and sluggish. Now, I have tons of energy and just feel great! I never suffered any symptoms of the Keto flu because I’ve taken a potassium and magnesium supplement from day one and I feel as though they’ve helped. This might not be the right diet for everyone but it’s definitely been the right choice for me. I only wish I would have started it sooner!
I’m so thrilled you are jumping into this topic, but I also feel like this is where you need to give dietitians their recognition. Dietitians have a lot of background knowledge on different diets, in fact this is our field. It’s awesome that you are informing people, but as a healthcare professional, you should also inform people on the health care professionals they can turn to for this type of information and research. However, I’m really glad that you talked about the negatives and not just the weight loss aspect.
+Paul Austin They know more than the snake oil merchants that call themselves nutritionists. I'd rather trust someone who went to school for several years than a job title that literally anyone can call themselves. (Really, any Tom, Dick, and Harry can call themselves a nutritionist. It literally means nothing.)
Thanks for addressing this diet. I have been wondering about the long term effects. I have a friend who has struggled with weight loss for years and has been successful with this diet.
I've been eating keto for the last year and a half. Not only am I now at a much healthier weight, but it has fixed several serious health issues I had. I am healthier now than I have been in two decades. (I am sixty years old.) I also have no problems sticking to the diet. I DO allow myself to cheat, meaning I could have that milkshake or Thanks Giving dinner or whatever. The proviso however is that if I do cheat, the next day is a total fast, no food at all. That puts me right back into ketosis, lickety-split. I am not willing to trade my health just to go back to eating heavy carbs.
Since we're on the discussion of weight loss, could you consider a video explaining the function of the thyroid and its role in regulating metabolism? I have Graves' Disease and I'd like to educate others on why having a fast metabolism is not as wonderful as it sounds. You could even use it to further explain why a balanced diet and exercise are that much more important! Stay healthy my friend. :)
Looks like everyone wants Dr. Mike to try the Keto diet (me included 😁) because the number of likes is at 24k now and I know it's going to get way higher than that soon... Great video as always Dr. Mike!
I would love your take on the “Mediterranean diet” and why so many nutritionists and doctors suggest it to patients who want to change their eating habits long term, whether for losing weight or not. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on why it is successful and long term. Thanks dr. Mike great vid 👨🏻⚕️
The only thing correct in this statement is that the Mediterranean diet was promoted due to it having lower "fattening" foods, however it was because a bunch of doctors went to the Mediterranean on vacation when it was promoted and came back happy from greece. LDL and saturated fats are not to blame, however I will not argue with a vegetarian/vegan. There are studies to show the higher the cholesterol, the longer you will live, and specifically also showing the lower the cholesterol, the more diseased you are. I've seen too many diabetic vegetarians that are malnourished to change my mind. The entire history of old studies supporting vegetarianism are epidemiological highly skewing data, and also using "facts" like cholesterol is bad and low fat is good, and eating fat makes you fat. Even non-epidemiological studies, like the one by Ancel Keys, is total bunk, and literally cherry picked the data to show that supported his hypothesis, which he needed to get a grant, and then suppressed other researchers when omitting pertinent data. Someone needs to go through all the data and support or debunk it all. But please, don't promote things that aren't true when they just are not. PS: you eat carcinogens when cooking vegetables too, are you on the raw diet? cheers.
As a "mediterranean" person i can say that the Mediterranean food is a good way to be healthy and strong, but i'm not so sure if is a good way to lose weight.
'Where do you think protein in nature comes from? The only organisms which can produce the amino acids we need for proteins are plants. ' Plants cannot produce Vitamin B12 except for some obscure seaweeds that nobody fucking eats. There are also several other aminoacids and essential nutrients that are severely lacking in plants.Those are the FACTS and they are not negotiable.Take your pseudoscientific blabbering somewhere else.
@@dana102083 I don't know what studies you're reading but a statement saying that high cholesterol means you're healthy is absolute insanity. Overall cholesterol is supposed to be less than 200, LDL less than 100, triglycerides less than 150, and HDL(aka healthy fats) are supposed to stay over 60. This is something we know to be true and the more foods you eat that are high in unhealthy fats such as certain animal meats, then you are going to be more unhealthy then those who aren't. These severely clog arteries and cause so many heart problems as well as issues for the rest of the body. So while you may not agree with someone who is vegan it is reality that most doctors and nutritionists are promoting a more plant based diet with less meats because is simply far healthier.
@Daniel Sadjadi It's only expensive if you live in US or anywhere outside the Mediterranean area. I live in Italy, and it's easy for me to follow the Mediterranean diet as most of the products can be easily found in our territory. I don't like calling it a diet as it is actually a lifestyle, that's just what we eat and that's the foundation of our food traditions: carbs, legumes, veggies, meat, dairies, oils, nuts, fruits. Everything is in there. It's considered an effective diet because you don't exclude food groups, you just have to control your portions and exercise.
I had/have (LOOK I HAVENT GOT MY EEG BACK YET) teenage epilepsy. I literally went on the keto diet for like 3 months, and MY SEIZURES ARE GONEEEEEEEEE im so happy
But you can't stay on the diet. It can't be done long term. As soon as the carbohydrates start creeping back into your diet, and they will, it's all over. This diet is giving you false hope.
Larkin Huey That’s a lie, for one carbs aren’t necessary however you can eat a hefty amount and stay in keto, just bc you started eating doesn’t mean anyone can lose has too, and btw keto isn’t a diet at all.
As a librarian, there are no sexier words than "evidence based" when talking about any kind of scientific information or claims that are yet unsubstantiated by research.
Bethany Herman Evidence based is often the way morons try to sound intelligent, who base their knowledge on faulty studies in means of not being a good reference to a ketogenic diet, referencing science based as a cliche line to be a closeminded fool. He had wrong on basicly all points, not knowing the very sciencebased literature he supposedly likes so much. Keto flu is a electrolyte deficiency, about ldl as only a typical marker for sad as a decently good marker, until you go ketosis and hightened ldl is caused by the liver upregulating fatenergy/triglycerides transport for energy. And cancercells with damaged energy conversion from fat is often affected, which is why using ketosis has been shown to be helpful; Although you need to be mindful of TMAO ( inhibit activity with aspirin or olive oil ) and neu5gc ( avoid meats i you can, although the science is not seemingly very convincing yet. Better safe than sorry..) There is good science on keto, But some love to say they are evidence based, while not knowing anything about the standard foodpyramids limitations, diffrences in wheat, the Gmo of tomatos to have more lectins to fight of pesticides only to eat those lectins etc. people are morons.
The problem is you can't use Keto forever and diets aren't short term, they are lifestyle changes. This is why people on fad diets lose weight then gain more back. You don't need dangerous diets just eat in moderation and lower your calorie intake. Simple simple simple.
Butter is 20% milk. Milk causes big insulin spikes because of it's inherent proteins and carbs. Milk is also responsible for activating metabolic pathways that cause the wrong cells to grow substantially (cancer cells). Butter is definitely not bad because of the fat but it should be avoided because of it's milk content.
Been doing Keto for three weeks and the first couple days were the hardest. I combine it with intermittent fasting and am Loving the results! My sugar cravings have reduced significantly and I notice a lot less bloating. I feel so satisfied and satiated with so much less because I'm adding in healthy fats like almond butter, avocados, raw cheeses and nuts! I Love this way of eating and this it's the fasest I've ever seen my weight come off and I'm not stressing or killing myself over it!
ndorm21 yep. Diet here, diet there, diets, diets, diets. I suggest a new one: the awareness diet. It is very simple: you be f*ckin aware of what you eat and what your body is telling you. Simple hein? Garranty great results and no pain, no constrictions, no self mutilation, no strict codes. Its fluid, natural, and our ancestors have been using that diet for generations untill we nessed things up.
My favorite video so far. I did the keto diet for about 3 months. the flu almost killed me, but after that it was great. I lost a good chunk of weight and kept it off. ultimately the diet was too restricting so I switched to a simple low carb diet (not keto). Dr. Mike if the video hits 20k likes, make sure and get a lot of electrolytes when first transitioning. it usually lessens the keto flu effects or gets rid of it entirely.
Just saying electrolytes is broad. Saying the specific nutrients can help them find the vegetables and again sea salt. If you do keto you need atleast 7-10 cups of veggies a day.
Or you could consume electrolytes through other means and also obtain those three components. I used to take magnesium pills, get my potassium from a mio electrolyte water flavoring, and put salt in there. Table salt. Doesn't matter what salt, if you're looking for mineral content and variety then sea salt, if you're just looking to cure keto flu any salt works. It's the sodium content that matters. But I'm sure the doc would know about it regardless.
Julian Leng I hear you but if you don’t specify people may assume they should eat bananas or other unhealthy sources. Sticking to the veggies is what worked for me.
I would say that I was 16 years old when I got on keto the 1st time. I’m an offensive lineman and weighed about 295. Within the first 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks I dropped down to 270. I will say say that it did slowdown for a while after that, but losing that much weight so quickly is very encouraging. I will also add, now I’m almost 18 years old and my whole family is starting the diet this time, and it is way easier to stick to this diet when you are not doing it alone. You don’t wanna sit down at dinner and be eating a cheese burger with no bun(my favorite keto food) and everyone else is enjoying a nice big regular burger
I’m 15 I play defensive lineman and idk if you’ll see but what was things you ate. I weigh 270 and I just wanna lose it to be more faster and just feel better. Btw respect to linemen✊🏼 we some big guys😂
@@braydenperrine728 lots of cheese and meat, like bacon chicken and steak. its really all about staying away from sugar and carbs, and only drinking water. you can eat what you want as long as there are no carbs in it
I suggest if anyone is going to try the keto diet they do so for several months for an honest review and opinion. My family has been doing it for over 3 months now and we are having a lot of positives. For the first few months you will make mistakes b/c there is a learning curve for doing it properly. Good luck.
yes yes yes! so many quit during the flu due to lack of preparation. if everyone invested a month of their time to just learn about keto and the lifestyle changes you'll make, before diving in.. and even reducing carbs slowly before they start.. can be huge. People are adrenaline junkies, and want fast results, will make fast changes and blame the diet. Its the most natural "diet" in the world, humans evolved, like literally from vegetarians in the homo__(somethingrather) to homo erectus I think.. when they went carnivore and started cooking with fire. The density of our food was much better than and now, we eat empty calories constantly. Keto has changed my life, people see it, and they ask for help.. and i dang well give it to them too!! For me, the keto flu lasted an entire month. I had one day of 26 grams net carbs and i broke ketosis.. the only time. I was very sensitive. I'm hoping it helps with my migraines over time, and already has helped with my joint condition. Keep it up!!
Good fact based presentation of the Keto Diet along with some reasonable commentary. Another reason to try/do the Keto Diet is if your "eating" is easily and frequently affected by sugar/carb cravings. I've been like that most of my life where a cookies and cream milk shake will make me feel like some more carbs (mmm...bread, cake, and pie) leading to a vicious cycle. Four months in: no cravings and 36 pounds less weight to lug around wherever I go.
Whoop whoop you go girl! I suffer from binge eating disorder, when I was strict keto I had it under control (mostly) fell off the wagon recently and it's a vicious battle to get it back under control
Yup, I started it to control my diabetes. Eating moderate and sensible just never worked for me. Even a half cup of whole wheat pasta or rice jacks up my blood sugar. So, it's easier to just not allow them at all. 😊
Started this diet weighing 372lbs 2 months in and I'm down to 339lbs. I also doing one or two 24hr fasting every week. Started lifting weights and exercising. I haven't felt this good in a long time.
I would love to hear your thoughts on foods and cross reactivity. Example my birch allergy makes it impossible to eat apples. So these diets that say go eat a carrot, eat fruit are not doing it. Adkins was a GI nightmare, Keto looks like a fad.
I am my own research. I am a type 2 diabetic and I did not have to drop much weight to see results. Keto took my fasting blood sugar from the 300’s to the 90’s in two weeks, without medication. I then hit ketosis a month later. 6 months into keto I lost 50 lb, my Pcos gone as well. The first thing to go down was my stomach and they say they’re is no such thing as spot reduction🤗. I’ve been on keto for two years. I started following this woman Stephanie Person on RUclips and Facebook since she had 8 years on keto and looks fantastic. I learned as much as I could from Doctor Berg and the research of Dom D’agostino. From the research of Doctor Jason Fung MD, I added fasting and intermittent fasting. I have more energy now at 40, then I did in my mid twenties. I am so grateful for RUclips and for all these Angels that share all this information.
Bibi Love spot reduction is usually used in terms of exercise. Like the myth that doing situps and crunches will help you lose belly fat. Your body will lose fat where it chooses to you have no influence over it. That's why spot reduction doesn't work because you can't choose where.
No fucking shit bud. When you dont eat sugar your blood sugar goes down.. wow! fucking magic! Try eating sugar again and see waht happens pal. Congratulations, you just made your diabetes worse because fat is the cause of diabetes in the first place.
Hahahahahaha show me the evidence that fat causes diabetes! He just told you his numbers dropped from the three hundreds to the nineties.....how is that worse. Anyway how would you know his medical condition.
MellieBellie722 honey, you're yet another commenter thats failed to address my point. Diabetes getting worse aside, how does not consuming sugar heal diabetes based on the completely obvious observation that blood sugar goes down when not consuming it? If not eating sugar for a period of time truly heals diabetes, show me their blood sugar levels after bringing sugar back into the diet. Are you really that incapable of thinking about that? Now to address your question, since you clearly need someone to hold your fucking hand when google is readily available, ill explain it to you. Its pretty fucking simple, fat in the bloodstream blocks insulin from allowing the uptake of glucose into cells. nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/17/fat-is-the-cause-of-type-2-diabetes/
My brother is on the ketogenic diet to control his seizures. Herpes encephalitis took a toll on his body when he was 7 years old. He’s 22 now and doing well. This diet and one seizure drug helps him be seizure free, something that we didn’t ever think would happen. There’s also benefits for me and my family as well. Since he has to eat specific foods, it makes us eat healthy so he won’t feel left out. This diet has worked for my brother, but may not work for you, just ask your doctor before starting it.
Emily Strittman I feel you I’m epileptic and I am going to start the ketogenic diet because I’ve tried everything to control my seizures... different seizure meds such as keppra and lamictal and zerrontin lamictal seems to be the only drug that somewhat help I’ve tried five different birth control pills to control my hormones to lower my seizure rate but all of them has side effects that took a severe toll on me and my body I finally got the implant it worked for three months and now every side effect that goes with it I have... the hair loss the lack of appetite etc I’m having it taken out and that was the last resort to control my hormones to lower my seizure rate I guess we are back to square one but we will keep trying hopefully the ketogenic diet works as well for me as it has for your brother
I follow a Mediterranean diet, although I don't like calling it a diet as it is the main lifestyle in Mediterranean countries (I live in Italy). I also started to do intermittent fasting without realizing it, as my University timetable (+ part time job) is pretty messed up, so I can eat only in a certain time frame. It does help because, if I have lunch at 2 pm and then have dinner at 6:30 pm, it means that I am still full from the previous meal, so I eat only the right amount of food. I don't find it difficult to restrain myself from eating more than I should. The only problem is that I wake up extremely hungry lol.
There's definitely soda, ice-cream, cookies, pizza, almost everything can be made with very low carb ingredients. There's entire brands building profits around how this works- they are however low net carb, so we in keto communities treat them as something to only eat on rare occasions.
True. If you're relying on processed ingredients, you're doing keto wrong. I think for it to be healthy almost 100% of the carb budget needs to come from low-carb veggies.
Raphael Cutia Glycemix index is relatively moot when you combine carbohydrates with protein or fat. The GI is assuming you're eating the food listed in isolation, e.g. brown rice is medium glycemic, but eat it with chicken, veggies, and peanut sauce and that number will obscured (usually lower, particularly with high fiber/higher fat foods).
L F It's no coincidence that fat people are usually found eating a lot of high glycemic foods. High glycemic foods spikes your blood sugar levels, when your blood sugar levels crash in 2-4 hours after eating, your body will make you crave more carbs to get energy again. Rice also isn't that good. Both white rice and brown rice contain inorganic arsenic(inorganic arsenic is worse than organic arsenic), and brown rice contains more inorganic arsenic then white rice. You can get approximately 80% of the inorganic arsenic out of rice with the right steps, but it can still be very harmful to your body in the long run. Wheat products also are causing issues noted by the spread of celiac disease. Low glycemic fruits and vegetables are the way to go unless you're going to carb up with some watermelon or something an hour pre-workout.
I started Keto back in August of 2017, and have since lowered my blood pressure, am no longer pre-diabetic, and have lost a total of 110 pounds. I love Keto and since I wasn't really a sweets guy in the first place? It wasn't so bad giving up that stuff. Glad to see you put an honest opinion on this diet based on research and facts. A lot of hate out there for it. It's the only diet that's ever really "Worked" for me, so for now, I'm content staying with it. Love the vids Doctor Mike. Thanks as always!
DeadCrescendo How did you avoid ketoacidosis? My blood sugar is on the higher side and I'm also looking to lower cholesterol but it appears that keto is contradiction between the two. Anyway I'm more worried about blood sugar, so how long did it take for your levels to drop to normal?
Sherry P Around 2 months if I remember right. Got the doctor visit thingy somewhere. Thats another thing. If you're doing Keto long term go to your doc every now and again and check yourself out. The diets not for everyone and like Doc Mike said there can be some serious side effects
Ketoacidosis is not the same as Ketosis. They are two entirely different things. Ketoacidosis is a serious condition associated with very high blood sugar in type 1 diabetes. Ketosis means the presence of ketones and occurs when following a ketogenic diet or low-carb diet.
Thanks to the keto diet I lost more than 70 pounds and I no longer have diabetes. For me it is a lifestyle. I feel very energetic and happy! If I feel like bread or it happens stick, there are many delicious recipes that can be used. This has been my lifestyle for over a year and I love it… I love the Keto diet
@@modona100 I need to break this down for you. Okay. A ketogenic diet will *not* cure diabetes. It will cause it when you consume carbohydrates. The reason we get diabetes is when we consume saturated fat, it goes to the muscle and causes insulin resistance. To put it simply: Imagine I have a watering can. I then cover the water holes with tape. I then run water through it. Of course it doesn't work, because it's blocked by the tape. Now imagine the tape is saturated fat (Very high in the ketogenic diet) and the water is glucose (Very low on a ketogenic diet.) Also cholesterol plays a role
MG44bee you seem to have very little knowledge on ‘diabetes’. At least have the sense to use type 1 or type 2. Type 1 is autoimmune and incurable. Type 2 isn’t always diet based, it can be genetic/hereditary, or it can be triggered by pancreatic diseases.
21K... Now you have do it... Down 45lb in 6 months eating as much as I want and no change in exercise. Yes, it takes will power to cut out carbs, but totally worth it...
I'm not keto but I've found that cutting just the high glycemic carbs makes a huge difference. Slowly raising your blood sugar levels with a small spike of insulin leads to a person feeling full for longer, keeps blood sugar levels stable and gives a person energy for a longer period of time. Staying away from the processed foods is big too. Especially with how bad gmo is for a person. In fact, approximately 91% of America wants gmo on the label of products, but the junk food companies have spent around 46 million dollars to avoid having to put gmo on the label. The fda a couple years back even banned a chemical found in popcorn bags and pizza boxes which has been linked to cancer........ There's a reason why diseases like celiac disease are just now becoming a mainstream issue. If we don't stop eating processed foods, it's only bound to get even worse.
The issue with any extreme diet is it is super easy to bounce back. Many of my friends who are also weight lifters cycle on and off of it the way it should be done and some end up bouncing back to old habits. If it wasn't for their high activity levels they would more than likely regain all the weight they lost and more. The key to health is balance no need for extremes, being healthy isn't a trend it's a lifestyle.
Take this advice with a grain of salt as I'm no doctor, but I grew up with chronic asthma. I would do just good ole fashioned calorie counting. Get the Myfitnesspal app to help track your food consumption then just do light physical activity if your asthma is triggered by exercise like mine was. A mile or two walk a day is better than nothing.
I'm 4 weeks into my custom keto diet plan and I've lost 14 pounds which I must say is pretty incredible, it's actually amazing watching my body transform into something I am actually proud of rather than something I have always tried to cover up.
AND you have an account that makes money from it... makes me wonder... especially when I look terrific following a diet DROWN in carbohydrates! Stop giving unhealthy advice to people JUST TO MAKE MONEY. Ugh!
@@adaw332 I’m 19, I would recommend it to some pre-diabetic/diabetics, women with PCOS, and people who have a problem with food addictions/ravenous hunger and insatiable cravings. I did need to lose weight and I lost 65 pounds in about 6 months with little to no physical activity and kept it off for about 2 years now. I found that due to my decreased (nearly diminished) intake of sugar and refined carbs, there was a great decrease in my appetite/cravings, something that I had a huge problem with and going low carb aided in fixing my relationship with food as I only ate when hungry and because I had no cravings, I would make choices that were better for my body rather than my taste buds which also led to massive improvements in my mental health. It’s not very sustainable due to how restrictive it can be so I don’t recommend it for everyone but if you have enough willpower to make it past the first week, I think it’s one if the easier and most effective diets out there and would be an optimal choice for many many many people.
first do keto after you've reached your target weight stop keto and start intermittent fasting to avoid regaining weight thats what i did and it worked very well
Keto Diet Exit Plan: FIRST WEEK Add 1 large baked Potato (White or Sweet) or 1 cup of cooked Rice to meal one OR meal two. SECOND WEEK In addition to changes in week 1 You may replace the Keto snack with up to 3 Fresh Fruits of your choice - eat the snack after meal 2 WEEKS 3 & 4 In addition to changes in week 1 and 2 Add 1 large baked Potato (White or Sweet) or 1 cup of cooked Rice to meal one and meal two for a total of 2 cups of Rice or 2 Baked Potatoes PER DAY You may replace the Keto snack or Fresh Fruits to any snack of your choice that does not exceed 250 KCAL
That's a good idea... I did keto + IF, got almost to my target weight and had to quit keto because of other life things, but found it very hard to maintain (hence restarting 2 years later), but IF is probably a good strategy. I'll have to remember that...
I used keto diet before for 1month. I lost 10kg. and after that, I do intermittent fasting. I eat anything I want now without regaining weight but I do 16hrs fasting.
I needed this, i'm lucky keto diet hasnt caught on here in Africa. Ketosis happens naturally here half the people can't even afford food here so we don't play like that. But hey to each their own.
Princess. Wangeshi I’m from Algeria ( North Africa) and here avocados, and berries are very rare and expansive ( a single avocado cost 13 dollars and berries here are only a little bit existant during spring). BY going on keto I will end up eating nothing but cabbages and chicken 😞. Potatoes, apples and bananas were the few healthy food that I truly enjoyed eating
Its the best way for him to discover how easy and sustainable this way of eating (not a diet) is. Diets are short term... keto is for life with some carb cycling once in a while.
Jordan Bratcher The percentages he gave on fats, proteins, and carbs is exactly what Dr. Atkins recommended and most people wouldnt give Atkins a try because they think it's extreme but it's the same diet just rebranded. I tried it can't say I would personally recommend it but what works for one person may not work for another.
Its closer to original Dr Atkins rather than the modern version, which promotes junk processed foods. However most people who have done Atkins overeat meat, I did as well 20 years ago. I ate so much meat that my mouth hurt. Low carb and keto diets these days have a much great focus on veggies.
afaik the last version of the atkins book was written by Stephen Phinney, a keto researcher for decades. And he is not about junk food, or about abundance of meat, but to eat at your personal protein requirement (moderate protein diet). Original atikins took protein/meat liberal. I think you are confusing atkins junk food sales "low carb power bar" and the other junk they sell with the book....though to be honest - I havent read that book by phinney, but I could not imagine he would promote the atkins junk in it.
Snit 77 I followed the 2002 edition and never ate the bars, ever. When the book was written the products, I think, had just come out. I had no interest. I cooked most of my meals at home with the occassional meal out because you never know what's in the marinades. I followed the list of allowed foods but I missed fruit a lot, not cakes or soda or any other junk just fresh fruits. I also missed starchy vegetables. My health also declined. That being said that was just my experience but it may not be everyone's. Anyway, they are the same percentages.
*As someone who has suffered from terrible social anxiety about my weight, with my mental health also taking a nosedive too, one of my friends on Facebook told me that she was having great success with a ketogenic way of eating.* *It sparked my interest, and I ended up doing extensive research. I realized that it was the complete opposite of what I was eating, what the weight loss plan told me to eat, and what the government’s nutritional guidelines said. My head was in a complete spin, and I didn’t know what to do.* *Fortunately, when I talked to another mother from my daughter’s school, she mentioned that she ate keto and recommended this Keto diet, and finally, it all made sense to me. I started following this Keto Diet earlier this year.* *Within a few weeks, my mental health was so much better. My head felt clearer, and my anxiety was decreasing. But more importantly, the constant urge to binge has gone. I finally felt like my life was not revolving around food.* *I am happy to pass on the details of this exact Keto diet that has worked for me for all those interested. Just leave a comment below and ask for More Info or details and I will update this post with the information and link.*
i just learned about keto diet and looked into it more, i’ve been reading and watching videos for the past hour and it’s so crazy.. i’ve lost about 20 pounds since quarantine but my mental health, anxiety, and cravings have been so high lately. It’s crazy how 75% of fats i’ve been avoiding for the past 6 months. I cut out red meats, dairy, salt, etc; because that’s what i was told by social media and today’s society. I would love to hear what you did to start your keto diet, i’m 100% in and going to give it my all. Just to mention im around 140-150 and I’m constantly also working out and trying to make my life better but if this is going to boost that then let me know what you’re doing!!
Wonderful to hear this. There are beautiful stories that come out of the community, and other ones that aren't that good... I wish we already had more science to pinpoint what people do right and wrong that either changes their life for the better or makes them live in a nightmare while trying the diet. I guess oy time will show us
I would bet half of those effects are placebo, of course if you go from eating mcdonalds to keto you’re gonna feel better but i would bet my left kidney that if you ate a balanced diet with a moderate amount of carbs you wiuld feel even better.
So I’ve gone on keto/low carb just over a week ago, I actually enjoy the food so much and have gone out to restaurants a few times in this time (I’m home for summer so it’s like a long holiday eating out will be a part of that) and I’ve gotten around ordering something super yummy yet keto friendly every single time if you cook enough and know your ingredients it is quite sustainable
Earlyy!! Your videos are awesome!!💖💖 You've seriously changed my perspective of Doctors, THEY CAN BE COOL😎😎 Love your vids, Best Doctor in the World!!❤❤
Just because he is cool does not mean he is right,just because he is a Doctor/pill pusher does not mean he is right. You dont take nutritional advice because someone is cool. This channel appels to teen girls and lonely women.
Every day Im learning more about the ketogenic diet thanks to HyperKeto. Its not just about losing weight, but also improving overall health and well-being... come on u know that.
This was one of my favorite videos by far. I attempted the keto diet about a year ago and it was just too limiting for me. I know many people who've had success with it. For me, I think I'll just stick with cookies and cream milk shakes as well 😉 I'd love to see your take on vegetarian and vegan diets as well.
Samtastic Nails that's a great idea! Vegetarian wouldn't have that many side effects, but I've been on vegan diets in the past, and the amount of vitamins I had to take were just too much after a while. You CAN get everything you need nutritionally from vegan diets, but it is extremely difficult to, and taking diet supplements just got old after a while. Though, there are people who live off of Soylent now, which is vegan. So, it definitely looks like it is getting easier.
Wesley it's not really difficult, you just need to learn how to cook. People act like it's hard, when in reality the issue is your meals have been so revolved around animal products you most likely starved yourself eating vegan without knowing it. I suggest trying it again eating nutrient dense vegan food (because Oreos are vegan and not healthy) and learn how to cook. Because a vegan diet is possible, but can be unhealthy if you're not doing it correctly. Just like an omnivore diet.
@No I truly do not understand vegans. I understand vegetarians but vegans seem to be individuals who are without the ability to think logically. Why not consume eggs and dairy products? If you say because it is cruel to animals, which is the reason I hear, you are simply willfully ignorant. You can buy eggs that come from pasture raised chickens. Not cage free because that can mean anything. Pasture raised, which means the chickens live their lives in grass fields and have a stress free life. These also produce the most nutritious eggs. Same goes for cows, goats or sheep.
Wesley I'm glad you agree! I have friends who are also vegan. One of them said she learned being raw vegan limits your nutrient intake as some veggies have to be cooked in order to get proper nutrients from them. I'll have to ask her if she takes supplements. It's seems rather tiring to me. I dunno if I could partake in any of these lifestyles, but I think the "everything in moderation" is the best route for me. I understand soy protein isn't exactly good for you, as consuming too much of it can cause extra estrogen to be produced in the body. If this is wrong, maybe Dr. Mike can shed some light on the pros and cons of soy.
Sorry Doc. Living proof you might be off on this one. Been keto 5 years + 174 days. Down 155 pounds, got rid of 29 medically diagnosed "uncurable" diseases. You do have to be vigilant since things creep up or things that should be keto friendly have hidden sugars. As far as have a shake with friends, I enjoy "feast days" like holidays and birthdays with my family. I just make my next meal keto. I lost 28 pound the 1st month, that wasn't all fluid. The 155 pounds wasn't all fluid. I'm full and healthy. People who use intensive exercise and calorie cutting to loss weight have a 99% chance of regaining, so why not just change your diet and enjoy certain feast days.
I put my mom (94) on the keto diet to control her seizures- she is seizure free for over a year now... I absolutely believe this way of eating is good for your brain. I changed my diet with her and will never go back..We were both carboholics...but being healthy is far more beneficial than having to have my bread, pasta or rice...getting past those cravings and staying away from them is simply a mindset, in my case, anyway. As always, I appreciate your input, Dr. Mike. : )
I don’t know how a person can say that the keto diet is difficult to maintain unless they’ve tried it. It has simplified my life, and made me much healthier and happier.
What the health is not good documentry and it is very narrowed and very fact based and some are even myths and untrue. They are many reviews on that one and even some vegans do not agree on the tactic that it is made there. :D you can watch it from unnatural vegan, who actual said about eating diary and meat in general of what is good or not and also other nutritionist, which I believe they can be even better then doctors if they update and use their knowledge wisely, because they are focused on one point of medicine, when doctors are in more fields. :D I hope I helped.
Cristiano Ronaldo Yes the science is pretty based on this one, meat is healthy for you, if you eat in smaller portions not as much as a normal person do.But it is recommended to eat more fish, because they have better quality nutritions in general. They have also omega 3, which meat from cow or pig does not. It is recommended to eat smaller one, to have less metals in them, then bigger ones. Also diary are not bad for you, but you should consume things like quark and yogurt for example, which are better for you then milk for example. Also Skyr is one of the best diary products ,loaded with proteins and low on carbs and fat. I think mostly people are unhealthy because in today society all the proccessed food have higher content of carbs and fat in general. And that is super unhealthy for you body, because the carbs and fat are not proccessed as good as they should be. That is why keto diet is successful and also vegan diet for example. Because our body works better if carbs are like high andfat low or the other way around. The proteins are of course very important, almost more important then carbs and fat. :)
Too bad he's famous now and doesn't have time for such tings. 20k likes means noting to him now. Or maybe he just hasn't noticed yet, this is nearly half a year old now...
I imagine he would also have to do the diet long-term before he could accurately share his experience. Would you really want him to do the video after only being on the diet for a week?
Great video, and I love your channel! As someone who's bipolar II, I'll be curious to see what further research reveals for keto and bipolar disorder, considering the relationship between bipolar and epilepsy. Anticonvulsants for epilepsy are often used as mood stabilizers for folks with BD, both illnesses are connected to the ANK3 gene, both are characterized by cycling, both are often comorbid with chronic migraine (which is also sometimes treated with meds that work for epilepsy and bipolar). Anyway, you probably know a lot of that already, but I wouldn't be surprised if we find that a diet developed to treat epilepsy is helpful for BD as well!
Mr. Samosa It's supposedly based on what our pre-civilization ancestors ate, but it's completely made up. Half the foods that are "paleo" didn't exist before we selectively bred them. And ancient humans ate whatever they could get/was in season.
Pumpped Most of the foods in the grocery store have been selectively bred to bring out more desirable traits. Before selective breeding cows were a lot smaller, lettuces were really bitter, brassicas were just one straggly plant, grains had far fewer and more difficult to access seeds, apples were smaller and tasted like a lot of different things, watermelons had very little edible flesh... the list goes on and on. Food as we know it and the variety we have access to did not exist for paleolithic humans. (This process is very different from genetic modification though.)
I like how you ended with the disclaimer that its different than genetic modification, rendering your points completely useless. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with selective breeding optimizing foods. If you honestly think that selective breeding has changed food to a significant enough degree to make a difference, i feel sorry for you. Btw im not even paleo, you just sound like a fucking dumb ass.
Liz Lee, you started off great and then your stupidity came out. You think eating fruit is only healthy in a small portion? Not sure what you're even talking about when you refer to unripe apples at the store.. they're ripe.
Love this! Very educational and would love more diet review videos. It’ll help keep everyone informed and debunk a lot of those myths. Safe to say I will probably never do the keto diet, I love pasta too much 😂😋
Chelsey Blankenship Me toooooo!!!!!!!
Chelsey Blankenship I know! A world without pasta is a world I don't wanna live in!
And cookies n cream milkshakes lol
For 95-99% of the people: Eat a balanced diet and not to much for the rest of your life.
The sceptic guide to the Galaxy podcast discussed a large meta study regarding this about 4 weeks ago.
Chelsey Blankenship so you an Italian?

Cauliflower rice?
I relate so much. I tried doing keto once, I gave up on the second day.

You can actually eat brown rice if you wanna keep eating rice. If you don't wanna do the keto 100% its okay. It's still better than nothing.

My wife and I had tried to conceive for 7 years with no success. After numerous unsuccessful fertility treatments, we finally found a doctor who treats patients with food. It actually happens to be ketogenic diet. Thank God for internet (access to information) that lead us to this doctor. The reason we could not conceive was because our bodies were inflamed due to excessive consumption of carbohydrates. All we had to do 3 months of ketogenic diet. And I emphasize just as the doctor emphasized, it has to be at least 3 months. Thank God and of course the doctor, the miracle has happened! Now we have a beautiful little girl, and another one on the way! Great video content! Thanks! Wishing you all good health!
2 years late, but massive congrats! Hope she’s well
Also losing all that weight makes you more sexier.
wow thats fantastic
when i was on keto i had literal dreams about eating bread
hahhahahahhahhahahah
Dude, literally same
😆
It's how your French inside felt (bread in French is pain)
I have hypothyroidism and trying keto was really bad to me...But what about who has hypothyroidism and intermittent fast? Can people like me do this intermittent fast? I don´t think so
I am a Big Fan Dr. Mike. I request you to make a video on depression and loneliness. Cuz I am sure a lot of people suffer from this. Please make one :) ❤️
and anxiety, specifically social anxiety
Mikayla Nicole yah a separate video on social ANXIETY is also much needed
Yes Doctor Mike please make more content about mental health
Absolutely, still pondering how to introduce my mental health series. If you have any thoughts I am all ears!
Doctor Mike Not exactly related but your videos often help cheer me up. Thank you!
I have tried every diet out there and Keto has been the only one that works. I im in my 20s, down 70+ lbs in less than a year. Diets are not one size fits all. I was carb addicted and within days of starting the diet, I felt no cravings and have had no problems since. My medical labs are better than ever and I feel great!
All diets work, if you get off your ass, keto is caloric restriction, that's why you lost 70lbs...
Yeah, but the foods you're eating don't make you wanna die. Thats why it works for me. If you restrict calories, but hate what you're eating you will eventually relapse. Keto is delicious and sustainable for me, not for everyone. And it makes you feel full much quiker. I love it!
"keto is caloric restriction"
Wrong. You eat until you're not hungry. Keto is keto, whether you eat 200 calories or 4000.
I lost 12 pounds in a month so far, and haven't "got off my ass" at all. If you have to exercise, either you're too stressed or you're doing the diet wrong.
I’ve been on Keto, or trying to for 5 months. Retired 67 yrs old male, went from 210 to 165 lbs. I’ve got more energy than ever, in fact, I walk between 10,000 and 18,000 steps almost every day (5 to 9 miles). Some days I’m sure I let a few too carbs in, but I’ve been real good about throwing out processed foods, anything with sugar, starch, and high fructose corn syrup. I miss pasta, rice, potatoes, decadent desserts, but since I’m at the weight I want to be at, I’ll allow myself a departure. I also gave up a pretty heavy beer habit. I kind of obsessed over pre diabetes so I tested for glucose and ketones every day with an affordable meter. I don’t know what my numbers were before the diet, but recent A1C is 4.8. The thing I’d like to emphasize is because your eating more saturated fats, you don’t get hungry. It takes a a week or 2, but eventually when your are fat adapted, 1 meal a day, or eating inside a window of say 18 hours fast, 6 hours eating, is quite easy. Eventually I found I could go 72 hours without eating anything, just coffee, tea or water. Never got hungry. I only stopped because I felt I should eat. Bowel habits improved, chronic cracked heels disappeared, sleep much better, and my mind is sharper. I’m not going to go back ever to the Standard American Diet. That’s what causes BMI issues and pre diabetes, I’m convinced.
Are you still on that diet?

Try shirataki noodles as a pasta substitute. They come packaged in water and have almost no carbs. They can be found in Asian grocery stores and some other stores as well. They stink of the sea when you open them, but rinsing removes much of the smell and cooking in a sauce removes the smell completely. I keep several packages on hand in my fridge.
Same here, been doing it for a couple years now. Never going back to the S.A.D diet again. It's disgusting how much dextrose, maltodextrin, and fructose is in literally everything. Looking at it now, all I'm doing is stripping out the processed garbage that fills the majority of grocery stores.
I started keto after thanksgiving to help reduce my migraines. My doctor recommended it. I lost 18 pounds in the first 3 weeks. 7 months in and I’m down 60 pounds and my migraines are virtually gone. I feel so much better now, too.
I'm happy for you :O
I'm on keto + IF OMAD.
Lost 67lbs in just under 6 months, AND put on 10-12 lbs in muscle.
And you can drink on keto, Vodka for example has no insulin or glucose response. Your body will burn off the calories 1st but it does not knock you out of ketosis. Just watch the extra calories.
DH SPEK'S I basically just ate all of my own old recipes, but tweaked the recipe ingredients to cut out non-keto foods. Look at the book Keto in 28. It was a super affordable and very informative book that helped. I just had all of my blood work done and my results came back excellent!
DH SPEK'S - I've been on Keto for 1 full year now. I've lost 104 lbs. "From 286 down to 181.8 currently". I'm not bothered if my meals are boring, so I eat the same exact thing every day.
Breakfast- 3 egg omelette, 1/4 cup cheese, water, bacon or sausage, water.
Lunch- 10-12oz of ground beef, taco seasoning, 1 full cup lettuce, 1/4 cup cheese, a TON of sour cream, lots of hot sauce.
Dinner- Same exact thing as lunch only with chicken and only 8-10oz.
I also take a multi vitamin, fish oil, and a 0 carb pre workout for gym days.
I'm just starting this diet. How have you been feeling without fruits and vegetables. Do you feel healthy without them and get them through your multi vitamin? If so, maybe I'll try it your way. Do you use coconut oil and butter when you cook? Would love to hear back when you have time. Please be careful with so much meat. It's acidic, making it a perfect environment for cancer to grow. But then they say cancer needs to be fed sugar to survive. But if you add turmeric to your meats, they say it makes it safer. That's what I did when I had cancer. Keep safe. Looks like you're doing great! And it sounds like you're a Mexican food lover like I am with making taco salads. Yum!

Justin Helms -In soviet russia, the KETO diets YOU!
I'm patiently waiting for you to start the keto diet, Dr. Mike
64k now :)
I’m waiting as well. I am also willing ... on my limited knowledge to debate him on the negatives. (1) a ketogenic diet can be broken ... you just have to get back on the diet (2) people all over the world are staying on a keto diet ... it can be done (3) His claim it lacks nutrition, pray tell ... what nutrient is lacking???? I claim it’s more complete than a vegan diet! (4) harms the kidneys? I thought that was high protein ... which isn’t ketogenic? Evidence please? ... is that enough, good job on your pillars of longetivity, the research on blue zones and telomeres supports you but I think you have some work to do in the ketogenic arena ... and nice RUclips channel, good job on the video creation
You need high potassium (lots of leafy greens) in your keto that helps the kidneys and the liver. Dr. Eric Berg has some good advice on this.
I’ve been on keto for months now and lost a lot of weight and feel great. And I didn’t have the keto flu because I made sure to get enough electrolytes. Keto is my life style, not a diet. I love it!
I never had keto flu - my body was super happy from day one. And over time, my arthritis knee pain has reduced by at least 2/3. I have no desire to ever go back.
Where can you get your elektrolyts
Battery Life Add salt, eat salmon, eat avocados, pickle juice post workout is a life saver.
When you first start out, a lot people supplement their magnesium. Just take some time to google which foods have the highest level of each electrolyte and incorporate these foods into your daily diet.
Been off and on for about 1.5 years, mostly on. Times I’ve cheated were where abroad on vacation and the like. I’ll never go back. I came from powerlifting and bodybuilding. I’ve been a macro counter for years. Never had an issue with carbs aside from cutting season. I hang out around 245lbs now (power lifted at 280 and bodybuilding around 260) these aren’t good weights even at 6’4. No more joint pain, no more wanting to binge eat etc. plus! Now I only eat Whole Foods. Best part about it, in my opinion.
When my body was getting used to Keto, I was so stupid! My brain was so slow for a few days. 🤣 Now I feel happy and healthy.
I have been living a ketogenic lifestyle for over a year now and it has been the best decision. I used to be anemic, had migraines all the time, and was always tired. I don't even get migraines anymore and my energy levels are through the roof. The thing that really gets me going is that my hair looks better too! Hyper
Awesome! Most migraines are due to eating gluten.
Dr. Mike, I'm vegetarian and thinking of going vegan. Can you make a video about the benefits & disadvantages of a plant-based diet? THANK YOU!! You're my favorite!! 🙌🙌

My mom is a nutritionist, she has a certificate. Nutritionists don't get nearly as much education as legitimate doctors who went to Medical School.
This may be the first doctor talking about this diet that actually has a medical degree and not a doctorate in some homeopathic bullshit
Lol there are so many nurses and doctors on here who advocate for the keto diet. Daphne Reloaded is a great channel on here, she’s a nurse and ex-vegan of 15 or so years, who has gone full-carnivore to reverse the years of damage the vegan diet caused. She goes into great detail about the deception of the modern day vegan health nuts, while thoroughly explaining how our bodies THRIVE on a diet high in animal fat and protein. These are the medical professionals who actually took the time to research the science behind our current obesity epidemic, our current sugar addiction (and inundation: sugar is in everything now), and have decided to sift through all the bullshit taught to them and the public by our government (the food pyramid, for example, recommends 6-11 SERVINGS of grains/carbs a day... to our body that’s 6-11 servings of SUGAR). Another example would be the stigma behind saturated fat and cholesterol. Our body NEEDS fat and cholesterol to regenerate the cells in our vital fatty organs. Please research LDL cholesterol, and how it has zero to do with indicating inflammation or an unhealthy heart. The real indicator of heart health is our ratio of true cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL, what many consider the “good cholesterol”, though it’s not even cholesterol lol)
There’s a great video on here explaining the double standard between alcohol and sugar. You don’t think twice about handing your kid a jolly rancher or nerd rope, but we’d never consider once to crack open a beer for our kids. Ironically enough, our liver goes through the same taxing chemical process whenever we consume carbohydrates, especially in high amounts.
Anyways that concludes another rant on this video. I cannot stand the amount of propaganda being spread which defends a diet which would never ever occur in nature.
@@sativadva she's not a doctor. Her claims are not scientific. She's just another freak like sv3rige. Damn the cult is going strong.
@@reggieshmeggie4219 , so Dr. Jason Fung is also just another freak like sv3rige? Dr. Sarah Hallberg too? I guess every doctor who doesn't agree with you must be some sort of quack right? Fact is, while a keto diet isn't for everyone, there is mounting evidence that it is saving lives. (especially those with type 2 diabetes) Besides, sv3rige is a psychotic carnivore. He isn't a keto pusher lol That guy is just as insane with his new carnivore diet as he was with his stupid vegan one.
@@sativadva yeah because nurses go to med school and are diet and reasearch experts. Humans aren't primal malnutritioned cave dwellers on the verge of extinction anymore, get over it and eat your baked chicken and veggies.
@@breezyn are you an idiot? I told Daphne reload is a freak. Did I mention that other dr are? No. What the fuck is wrong with you?
I've just found your channel last night and I've been watching all of them. I think I have a doctor crush. You are so smart and funny and happy and kind. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and personality with the world.
I’ve been keto now for over four years and I find it very easy to maintain and the food is delicious. My cholesterol numbers are perfect but even more importantly, no more dangerously high triglycerides. The only fault I’ve found so far with keto is the sad fact that I didn’t find out about it years sooner than I did. Keto is so easy for me to stick with and I will not allow anything or any so called special occasion to derail me. My health is way too important to me.
My husband has been doing keto for about 6-7 weeks and has lost 20 lbs. He isn't as irritable and has a better digestive system.

She sent me the link to your video and now here I am, watching even though I'm already on this diet. I will be spending the rest of my day watching your videos! Hahaha
I really think that Keto Diet depends a lot of the lifestyle of each person and how carb sensitive they are.
I went keto for about half a year and I felt terrible, I started to lost hair, I lost my period and had low energy everyday even though I was doing clean and healthy keto.
So I discovered that my body feels better in a moderate to high carb diet with appropriate calorie intake for my body.
Now I can lose weight eating whatever I want in moderation and I have lots of energy all the time also my hair stopped falling and my hormones are getting back to healthy levels.
underrated comment
Maybe not enough fat?
THIS!
@@ricardofbernardi2 I was eating 70% of my calories from fat
@Adriana A I was eating on my maintenance calories and my macros were 70% fat /25% protein/ 5% carbs. I ate a lot of healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, salmon, almonds and olives but even so it affected my overall health.
I really appreciate that you are focused on evidence and facts rather than than assumptions. As someone who followed the Keto Diet for a while and did a lot of research on it when my doctor recommended it for migraines and epilepsy, there are a lot of people who are misguided and get their information for celebrity news sites. Keto is not for everyone, because we all have different bodies and experiences. Some people love carbs and do enough exercise to not need to do specifically low carb, while some people feel that keto keeps them from overeating. It all depends on your lifestyle and what the doctor says. I love carbs, but Keto allowed me to stay in control and not overeat (while also doing IF and occasionally OMAD).
The fact that our bodies can change and adapt is crazy. I feel like we ignore that too often.
Someone literally mentioned to me today how they’re going to try the keto diet and I thought to myself “I really need to look this up!” I’m so glad you made this! I’m a nutrition major and I love your videos! They’re so easy to understand and they’re definitely easy on the eyes 😁😍😂
Did you end up trying it?
Keto has been great for my hormone imbalance, so many of my PCOS symptoms are alleviated from this way of eating. I agree it’s not for everybody or even most, but for hormone regulation it can be life changing.
Hi how are you doing a year later? Are you still following keto? How’s your PCOS symptoms?
*What are the evidence for those potential harms?*
I started the keto diet a few years ago. I'm an RN and I've been type 2 diabetic on insulin for years. I lost 45 lbs the first year and lowered my cholesterol readings, improved my liver enzymes, I was able to reduce the insulin I took to an occasional dose rather than Lantus 80 units plus Humalog 20 units per meal. BUT you are right it is very hard to sustain. I found out something else. Since I had given up grains I realized that I was gluten intolerant. No more diarrhea as long as I stay off grains. Withdrawing from sugars was great too. I can go through the store and avoid all the snacks and not feel deprived. In addition my husband and I found permaculture gardening. He's retired so we bought some chickens and grow our own food. We also have some beehives as a hobby but I don't eat the honey. We give it away or sell it. My hubby lost 130 lbs on the paleo diet and reversed his kidney disease. His doctor said he is his example patient for others that need to lose weight to prevent a life of dialysis.

i love the mental clarity you get when in ketosis. it is like somebody flicking a switch and your brain starts to work. the difference is amazing. unless you have experienced it, you will never know how good it feels
spive21 i agree 100%. Not only do you have mental clarity, you feel strong and have so much energy. You feel like you can conquer the world.
About as good as heart disease that good..
From what I've heard on the podcasts I follow your risk of heart disease eating meat/fat is only an issue if you consume sugar and large amounts of carbs with it. Also, the study linking meat consumption to heart disease didn't specify where the meat was coming from so it could have been from people eating burgers and fries everyday therefore they checked off that they eat meat. They also never inquired as to what they were eating for the rest of their diet, it could have been milkshakes and cookies.
That being said I'm not an expert and I didn't conduct any studies of my own.
Charity-Faith Chasse sure blame carbs not like carbs have lower insulin spikes without meat or dairy. Keto is a weight loss program for idiots.
hehe gotta love a good troll. thnx for the lough crashhover. ;)
Only the Agoge diet works for me, I lost so much fat and feel great. Keto just made me tired.

Lost 60lbs in the last 5 months so far on the Keto Diet. Stop insulin dependability with my type2 and can actually be considered borderline as of blood work at my next appointment. As a diabetic, I was already used to cutting carbs and sugars so KEto came natural. But it isn't about just dieting and sitting around. I go to the Gym at least 3 times a week and count my calorie intake as well. It is a lot of work but I am loving the results.
thanks roger i too am on keto DAY #3! haha but i love it and have done it before lost 30 pounds and kept it off for 2 years not on keto. cant wait to hit my goals!
And you are the exact person the Keto diet is for. Congratulations on your good health, and may it continue for the rest of your life 😊
uh a persons calorie intake is very personal. I would suggest you calculate your own TDEE Total Daily Energy Expenditure. There are lots of calculators online so you won’t have to do the math yourself. That way you can see how many calories you should eat :D
Hi I'm on the same way search for an app called carb manager put that you are on keto diet and it will give your macros right away also you have to put what type of activity you do on a daily basis
@@sheilacasandraparra2101 I use Carb Manager... helps regulate your meals. I also only eat 2 meals a day with intermittent fasting of 8hrs on 16 hours off meals meaning I do not eat after 4pm and will not eat again until 8 the next morning. I am now down 110lbs and my numbers are better than ever. My daily carbs for my height, age, and weight at this point is about 2300 a day, but I cut that to 2000 even. I generally take in about 1500 to 1700 to be exact.
i actually did try keto first and i always feel sick, that is the reason why i switched to a different diet which is agoge diet, i have never felt better, not just that i feel great but i can see changes on me as well, it really helped me lose weight by still enjoying my meals
*What are the evidence for those potential harms?*

I have type 2 diabetes and was obese. I lost 100 pounds doing the keto diet and have since reversed all of my diabetic symptoms. I have been doing keto now for 3 1/2 years. When I compare my health and how I felt before keto, I would say the keto diet is actually quite easily sustainable.
Also, one thing Doctor Mike didn't not mention is how intermittent fasting can be incorporated into the keto diet and make it even easier to maintain.
But he is right, it's not for everyone.
Ive recently started following the ketogenic diet with the *HyperKeto* plan, and I have to admit, Im seeing some impressive results! Energy all day long, and the fat is melting away.
I have struggled with weight my entire life and feel as though I’ve tried every “diet” imaginable. One month ago I began the Keto diet and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. In the first month I’ve lost 20 pounds. As great as that is it’s not even the best part. After cutting out the carbs and sugar I’ve felt the best that I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Before I was constantly tired and sluggish. Now, I have tons of energy and just feel great! I never suffered any symptoms of the Keto flu because I’ve taken a potassium and magnesium supplement from day one and I feel as though they’ve helped. This might not be the right diet for everyone but it’s definitely been the right choice for me. I only wish I would have started it sooner!
I’m so thrilled you are jumping into this topic, but I also feel like this is where you need to give dietitians their recognition. Dietitians have a lot of background knowledge on different diets, in fact this is our field. It’s awesome that you are informing people, but as a healthcare professional, you should also inform people on the health care professionals they can turn to for this type of information and research. However, I’m really glad that you talked about the negatives and not just the weight loss aspect.
Dietitians know nothing only a few know what is real
Right because you went through 4 years of school and a dietetic internship so you know so well. Thanks. Good day sir

They know more than the snake oil merchants that call themselves nutritionists. I'd rather trust someone who went to school for several years than a job title that literally anyone can call themselves. (Really, any Tom, Dick, and Harry can call themselves a nutritionist. It literally means nothing.)
Thanks for addressing this diet. I have been wondering about the long term effects. I have a friend who has struggled with weight loss for years and has been successful with this diet.
sweetninabean81 has your friend been able to keep the weight off?
MrTripppleB right now she's still doing the diet. It's been about 6-7 months. She's still losing the extra weight.
I've been eating keto for the last year and a half. Not only am I now at a much healthier weight, but it has fixed several serious health issues I had. I am healthier now than I have been in two decades. (I am sixty years old.) I also have no problems sticking to the diet. I DO allow myself to cheat, meaning I could have that milkshake or Thanks Giving dinner or whatever. The proviso however is that if I do cheat, the next day is a total fast, no food at all. That puts me right back into ketosis, lickety-split. I am not willing to trade my health just to go back to eating heavy carbs.
Since we're on the discussion of weight loss, could you consider a video explaining the function of the thyroid and its role in regulating metabolism? I have Graves' Disease and I'd like to educate others on why having a fast metabolism is not as wonderful as it sounds. You could even use it to further explain why a balanced diet and exercise are that much more important! Stay healthy my friend. :)

Great video as always Dr. Mike!
I would love your take on the “Mediterranean diet” and why so many nutritionists and doctors suggest it to patients who want to change their eating habits long term, whether for losing weight or not. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on why it is successful and long term. Thanks dr. Mike great vid 👨🏻⚕️
The only thing correct in this statement is that the Mediterranean diet was promoted due to it having lower "fattening" foods, however it was because a bunch of doctors went to the Mediterranean on vacation when it was promoted and came back happy from greece. LDL and saturated fats are not to blame, however I will not argue with a vegetarian/vegan. There are studies to show the higher the cholesterol, the longer you will live, and specifically also showing the lower the cholesterol, the more diseased you are. I've seen too many diabetic vegetarians that are malnourished to change my mind. The entire history of old studies supporting vegetarianism are epidemiological highly skewing data, and also using "facts" like cholesterol is bad and low fat is good, and eating fat makes you fat. Even non-epidemiological studies, like the one by Ancel Keys, is total bunk, and literally cherry picked the data to show that supported his hypothesis, which he needed to get a grant, and then suppressed other researchers when omitting pertinent data. Someone needs to go through all the data and support or debunk it all. But please, don't promote things that aren't true when they just are not.
PS: you eat carcinogens when cooking vegetables too, are you on the raw diet? cheers.
As a "mediterranean" person i can say that the Mediterranean food is a good way to be healthy and strong, but i'm not so sure if is a good way to lose weight.
'Where do you think protein in nature comes from? The only organisms which can produce the amino acids we need for proteins are plants. '
Plants cannot produce Vitamin B12 except for some obscure seaweeds that nobody fucking eats. There are also several other aminoacids and essential nutrients that are severely lacking in plants.Those are the FACTS and they are not negotiable.Take your pseudoscientific blabbering somewhere else.
@@dana102083 I don't know what studies you're reading but a statement saying that high cholesterol means you're healthy is absolute insanity. Overall cholesterol is supposed to be less than 200, LDL less than 100, triglycerides less than 150, and HDL(aka healthy fats) are supposed to stay over 60. This is something we know to be true and the more foods you eat that are high in unhealthy fats such as certain animal meats, then you are going to be more unhealthy then those who aren't. These severely clog arteries and cause so many heart problems as well as issues for the rest of the body. So while you may not agree with someone who is vegan it is reality that most doctors and nutritionists are promoting a more plant based diet with less meats because is simply far healthier.
@Daniel Sadjadi It's only expensive if you live in US or anywhere outside the Mediterranean area. I live in Italy, and it's easy for me to follow the Mediterranean diet as most of the products can be easily found in our territory.
I don't like calling it a diet as it is actually a lifestyle, that's just what we eat and that's the foundation of our food traditions: carbs, legumes, veggies, meat, dairies, oils, nuts, fruits. Everything is in there. It's considered an effective diet because you don't exclude food groups, you just have to control your portions and exercise.
I had/have (LOOK I HAVENT GOT MY EEG BACK YET) teenage epilepsy. I literally went on the keto diet for like 3 months, and MY SEIZURES ARE GONEEEEEEEEE im so happy
But you can't stay on the diet. It can't be done long term. As soon as the carbohydrates start creeping back into your diet, and they will, it's all over. This diet is giving you false hope.
Larkin Huey That’s a lie, for one carbs aren’t necessary however you can eat a hefty amount and stay in keto, just bc you started eating doesn’t mean anyone can lose has too, and btw keto isn’t a diet at all.

As a librarian, there are no sexier words than "evidence based" when talking about any kind of scientific information or claims that are yet unsubstantiated by research.
Bethany Herman I wish that sentiment bled over into, as a hair stylist, mechanic, or stay at home parent...
Sometimes the evidence is the research.
Bethany Herman
Evidence based is often the way morons try to sound intelligent, who base their knowledge on faulty studies in means of not being a good reference to a ketogenic diet, referencing science based as a cliche line to be a closeminded fool.
He had wrong on basicly all points, not knowing the very sciencebased literature he supposedly likes so much. Keto flu is a electrolyte deficiency, about ldl as only a typical marker for sad as a decently good marker, until you go ketosis and hightened ldl is caused by the liver upregulating fatenergy/triglycerides transport for energy. And cancercells with damaged energy conversion from fat is often affected, which is why using ketosis has been shown to be helpful; Although you need to be mindful of TMAO ( inhibit activity with aspirin or olive oil ) and neu5gc ( avoid meats i you can, although the science is not seemingly very convincing yet. Better safe than sorry..)
There is good science on keto, But some love to say they are evidence based, while not knowing anything about the standard foodpyramids limitations, diffrences in wheat, the Gmo of tomatos to have more lectins to fight of pesticides only to eat those lectins etc. people are morons.

The problem is you can't use Keto forever and diets aren't short term, they are lifestyle changes. This is why people on fad diets lose weight then gain more back. You don't need dangerous diets just eat in moderation and lower your calorie intake. Simple simple simple.

*All the people who keep saying butter is bad:* Explain yourself.

Butter is 20% milk. Milk causes big insulin spikes because of it's inherent proteins and carbs. Milk is also responsible for activating metabolic pathways that cause the wrong cells to grow substantially (cancer cells). Butter is definitely not bad because of the fat but it should be avoided because of it's milk content.
@@Pclub4ever But it is mostly saturated fat so don't take too much. Vegetable oils like olive oil are far better fats.
Doesn’t butter clog your arteries?

I feel so satisfied and satiated with so much less because I'm adding in healthy fats like almond butter, avocados, raw cheeses and nuts!

please do a series on diet trends! so good, more informative than tv shows. TY!
ndorm21 yep. Diet here, diet there, diets, diets, diets. I suggest a new one: the awareness diet. It is very simple: you be f*ckin aware of what you eat and what your body is telling you. Simple hein? Garranty great results and no pain, no constrictions, no self mutilation, no strict codes. Its fluid, natural, and our ancestors have been using that diet for generations untill we nessed things up.
My favorite video so far. I did the keto diet for about 3 months. the flu almost killed me, but after that it was great. I lost a good chunk of weight and kept it off. ultimately the diet was too restricting so I switched to a simple low carb diet (not keto). Dr. Mike if the video hits 20k likes, make sure and get a lot of electrolytes when first transitioning. it usually lessens the keto flu effects or gets rid of it entirely.
Twenty Juan Pilots you get the “flu” if you are not consuming enough potassium, magnesium and sea salt.
Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium are the components for electrolytes.
Just saying electrolytes is broad. Saying the specific nutrients can help them find the vegetables and again sea salt. If you do keto you need atleast 7-10 cups of veggies a day.
Or you could consume electrolytes through other means and also obtain those three components. I used to take magnesium pills, get my potassium from a mio electrolyte water flavoring, and put salt in there. Table salt. Doesn't matter what salt, if you're looking for mineral content and variety then sea salt, if you're just looking to cure keto flu any salt works. It's the sodium content that matters.
But I'm sure the doc would know about it regardless.
Julian Leng I hear you but if you don’t specify people may assume they should eat bananas or other unhealthy sources. Sticking to the veggies is what worked for me.
I would say that I was 16 years old when I got on keto the 1st time. I’m an offensive lineman and weighed about 295. Within the first 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks I dropped down to 270. I will say say that it did slowdown for a while after that, but losing that much weight so quickly is very encouraging. I will also add, now I’m almost 18 years old and my whole family is starting the diet this time, and it is way easier to stick to this diet when you are not doing it alone. You don’t wanna sit down at dinner and be eating a cheese burger with no bun(my favorite keto food) and everyone else is enjoying a nice big regular burger
I’m 15 I play defensive lineman and idk if you’ll see but what was things you ate. I weigh 270 and I just wanna lose it to be more faster and just feel better. Btw respect to linemen✊🏼 we some big guys😂
@@braydenperrine728 lots of cheese and meat, like bacon chicken and steak. its really all about staying away from sugar and carbs, and only drinking water. you can eat what you want as long as there are no carbs in it
I suggest if anyone is going to try the keto diet they do so for several months for an honest review and opinion. My family has been doing it for over 3 months now and we are having a lot of positives. For the first few months you will make mistakes b/c there is a learning curve for doing it properly. Good luck.
yes yes yes! so many quit during the flu due to lack of preparation. if everyone invested a month of their time to just learn about keto and the lifestyle changes you'll make, before diving in.. and even reducing carbs slowly before they start.. can be huge. People are adrenaline junkies, and want fast results, will make fast changes and blame the diet. Its the most natural "diet" in the world, humans evolved, like literally from vegetarians in the homo__(somethingrather) to homo erectus I think.. when they went carnivore and started cooking with fire. The density of our food was much better than and now, we eat empty calories constantly. Keto has changed my life, people see it, and they ask for help.. and i dang well give it to them too!! For me, the keto flu lasted an entire month. I had one day of 26 grams net carbs and i broke ketosis.. the only time. I was very sensitive. I'm hoping it helps with my migraines over time, and already has helped with my joint condition. Keep it up!!
Good fact based presentation of the Keto Diet along with some reasonable commentary.
Another reason to try/do the Keto Diet is if your "eating" is easily and frequently affected by sugar/carb cravings. I've been like that most of my life where a cookies and cream milk shake will make me feel like some more carbs (mmm...bread, cake, and pie) leading to a vicious cycle. Four months in: no cravings and 36 pounds less weight to lug around wherever I go.
Whoop whoop you go girl! I suffer from binge eating disorder, when I was strict keto I had it under control (mostly) fell off the wagon recently and it's a vicious battle to get it back under control
Yup, I started it to control my diabetes. Eating moderate and sensible just never worked for me. Even a half cup of whole wheat pasta or rice jacks up my blood sugar. So, it's easier to just not allow them at all.
😊
Ur just such a likeable person
True statement
@username, Facts!
Started this diet weighing 372lbs 2 months in and I'm down to 339lbs. I also doing one or two 24hr fasting every week. Started lifting weights and exercising. I haven't felt this good in a long time.
How about now? Cause that initial loss sounds like water weight
Love that you have a t-shirt that says PRN!!
magicbloo - 👍 have a Coffee "as needed" 😂 JUST HOOK ME UP TO A COFFEE DRIP...!!! 😂
Omg lol I didn't even realize that

Doctor Mike, thank you for the due diligence on research!! As a food professional, it's aggravating to hear misinformation on diets all the time!
What are some good programs/diets for weight loss and muscle gain (primarily muscle gain)? Just asking sense you said you were a food professional
I would love to hear your thoughts on foods and cross reactivity. Example my birch allergy makes it impossible to eat apples. So these diets that say go eat a carrot, eat fruit are not doing it. Adkins was a GI nightmare, Keto looks like a fad.
I am my own research. I am a type 2 diabetic and I did not have to drop much weight to see results. Keto took my fasting blood sugar from the 300’s to the 90’s in two weeks, without medication. I then hit ketosis a month later. 6 months into keto I lost 50 lb, my Pcos gone as well. The first thing to go down was my stomach and they say they’re is no such thing as spot reduction🤗. I’ve been on keto for two years. I started following this woman Stephanie Person on RUclips and Facebook since she had 8 years on keto and looks fantastic. I learned as much as I could from Doctor Berg and the research of Dom D’agostino. From the research of Doctor Jason Fung MD, I added fasting and intermittent fasting. I have more energy now at 40, then I did in my mid twenties. I am so grateful for RUclips and for all these Angels that share all this information.
Bibi Love spot reduction is usually used in terms of exercise. Like the myth that doing situps and crunches will help you lose belly fat. Your body will lose fat where it chooses to you have no influence over it. That's why spot reduction doesn't work because you can't choose where.
Gon97405 thanks for clarifying. 👍🏻
No fucking shit bud. When you dont eat sugar your blood sugar goes down.. wow! fucking magic! Try eating sugar again and see waht happens pal. Congratulations, you just made your diabetes worse because fat is the cause of diabetes in the first place.
Hahahahahaha show me the evidence that fat causes diabetes! He just told you his numbers dropped from the three hundreds to the nineties.....how is that worse. Anyway how would you know his medical condition.
MellieBellie722 honey, you're yet another commenter thats failed to address my point. Diabetes getting worse aside, how does not consuming sugar heal diabetes based on the completely obvious observation that blood sugar goes down when not consuming it? If not eating sugar for a period of time truly heals diabetes, show me their blood sugar levels after bringing sugar back into the diet. Are you really that incapable of thinking about that? Now to address your question, since you clearly need someone to hold your fucking hand when google is readily available, ill explain it to you. Its pretty fucking simple, fat in the bloodstream blocks insulin from allowing the uptake of glucose into cells. nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/17/fat-is-the-cause-of-type-2-diabetes/

Tiffany Huynh No cookies and cream milkshakes for him!! 😂
My brother is on the ketogenic diet to control his seizures. Herpes encephalitis took a toll on his body when he was 7 years old. He’s 22 now and doing well. This diet and one seizure drug helps him be seizure free, something that we didn’t ever think would happen. There’s also benefits for me and my family as well. Since he has to eat specific foods, it makes us eat healthy so he won’t feel left out. This diet has worked for my brother, but may not work for you, just ask your doctor before starting it.
Emily Strittman I feel you I’m epileptic and I am going to start the ketogenic diet because I’ve tried everything to control my seizures... different seizure meds such as keppra and lamictal and zerrontin lamictal seems to be the only drug that somewhat help I’ve tried five different birth control pills to control my hormones to lower my seizure rate but all of them has side effects that took a severe toll on me and my body I finally got the implant it worked for three months and now every side effect that goes with it I have... the hair loss the lack of appetite etc I’m having it taken out and that was the last resort to control my hormones to lower my seizure rate I guess we are back to square one but we will keep trying hopefully the ketogenic diet works as well for me as it has for your brother
What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting
Aimee Bravo he made a video on that 😊
Aimee Bravo Keto and intermittent fasting go great together.
My thoughts on that are good. Watch Bulldog mindset about IF.
He does fast.
I follow a Mediterranean diet, although I don't like calling it a diet as it is the main lifestyle in Mediterranean countries (I live in Italy).
I also started to do intermittent fasting without realizing it, as my University timetable (+ part time job) is pretty messed up, so I can eat only in a certain time frame. It does help because, if I have lunch at 2 pm and then have dinner at 6:30 pm, it means that I am still full from the previous meal, so I eat only the right amount of food. I don't find it difficult to restrain myself from eating more than I should.
The only problem is that I wake up extremely hungry lol.
There's definitely soda, ice-cream, cookies, pizza, almost everything can be made with very low carb ingredients. There's entire brands building profits around how this works- they are however low net carb, so we in keto communities treat them as something to only eat on rare occasions.
True. If you're relying on processed ingredients, you're doing keto wrong. I think for it to be healthy almost 100% of the carb budget needs to come from low-carb veggies.
Great video??
Would you do one on the medical view of veganism? I think it may be very interesting.
Yeah this is incoming!
My mom actually went on this diet 4-6 months ago and she had lost 50 lbs.
Finally, an informative content for Ketogenic Diet.
Now all I need is a Low GI diet and I'm good to go.
Raphael Cutia Glycemix index is relatively moot when you combine carbohydrates with protein or fat. The GI is assuming you're eating the food listed in isolation, e.g. brown rice is medium glycemic, but eat it with chicken, veggies, and peanut sauce and that number will obscured (usually lower, particularly with high fiber/higher fat foods).
Finally hearing what you want congrats youre now 10.
L F It's no coincidence that fat people are usually found eating a lot of high glycemic foods. High glycemic foods spikes your blood sugar levels, when your blood sugar levels crash in 2-4 hours after eating, your body will make you crave more carbs to get energy again.
Rice also isn't that good. Both white rice and brown rice contain inorganic arsenic(inorganic arsenic is worse than organic arsenic), and brown rice contains more inorganic arsenic then white rice. You can get approximately 80% of the inorganic arsenic out of rice with the right steps, but it can still be very harmful to your body in the long run. Wheat products also are causing issues noted by the spread of celiac disease.
Low glycemic fruits and vegetables are the way to go unless you're going to carb up with some watermelon or something an hour pre-workout.
I love coming to Mikes channel because he's completely honest
No.Liars and manipulation
I started Keto back in August of 2017, and have since lowered my blood pressure, am no longer pre-diabetic, and have lost a total of 110 pounds. I love Keto and since I wasn't really a sweets guy in the first place? It wasn't so bad giving up that stuff.
Glad to see you put an honest opinion on this diet based on research and facts. A lot of hate out there for it. It's the only diet that's ever really "Worked" for me, so for now, I'm content staying with it.
Love the vids Doctor Mike. Thanks as always!
DeadCrescendo How did you avoid ketoacidosis? My blood sugar is on the higher side and I'm also looking to lower cholesterol but it appears that keto is contradiction between the two. Anyway I'm more worried about blood sugar, so how long did it take for your levels to drop to normal?
Sherry P Around 2 months if I remember right. Got the doctor visit thingy somewhere.
Thats another thing. If you're doing Keto long term go to your doc every now and again and check yourself out. The diets not for everyone and like Doc Mike said there can be some serious side effects
On a side note my friend with type 2 diabetes dropped his blood sugar by around 80 points after 3 months. It was amazing.
DeadCrescendo wow, thanks for the insight!
Ketoacidosis is not the same as Ketosis. They are two entirely different things. Ketoacidosis is a serious condition associated with very high blood sugar in type 1 diabetes. Ketosis means the presence of ketones and occurs when following a ketogenic diet or low-carb diet.
I love your videos. So educational . Can you please do more diet reviews? There are so many outside and we all have different body types
Me:Clicks video about Keto diet
RUclips: Lasagna ad before the video begins
SABOTAGE!!!
Space Force Lol keto lasagna is possible but I feel, in all honesty it is a conspiracy.
Thanks to the keto diet I lost more than 70 pounds and I no longer have diabetes. For me
it is a lifestyle. I feel very
energetic and happy! If I feel like bread or it happens
stick, there are many delicious recipes that can be used. This has been my lifestyle for
over a year and I love it… I love the Keto diet
Wait... diabetes are curable?
@@modona100 I need to break this down for you. Okay. A ketogenic diet will *not* cure diabetes. It will cause it when you consume carbohydrates. The reason we get diabetes is when we consume saturated fat, it goes to the muscle and causes insulin resistance. To put it simply: Imagine I have a watering can. I then cover the water holes with tape. I then run water through it. Of course it doesn't work, because it's blocked by the tape. Now imagine the tape is saturated fat (Very high in the ketogenic diet) and the water is glucose (Very low on a ketogenic diet.) Also cholesterol plays a role
MG44bee you seem to have very little knowledge on ‘diabetes’. At least have the sense to use type 1 or type 2. Type 1 is autoimmune and incurable. Type 2 isn’t always diet based, it can be genetic/hereditary, or it can be triggered by pancreatic diseases.
Bear at the end 😍 great video, but I'm a dog person, so the pupper's part is on replay. 😁
21K... Now you have do it... Down 45lb in 6 months eating as much as I want and no change in exercise. Yes, it takes will power to cut out carbs, but totally worth it...
I bet this diet wouldn't go well for an athletic guy like Mike. He is in best shape.
I'm not keto but I've found that cutting just the high glycemic carbs makes a huge difference. Slowly raising your blood sugar levels with a small spike of insulin leads to a person feeling full for longer, keeps blood sugar levels stable and gives a person energy for a longer period of time. Staying away from the processed foods is big too. Especially with how bad gmo is for a person. In fact, approximately 91% of America wants gmo on the label of products, but the junk food companies have spent around 46 million dollars to avoid having to put gmo on the label.
The fda a couple years back even banned a chemical found in popcorn bags and pizza boxes which has been linked to cancer........ There's a reason why diseases like celiac disease are just now becoming a mainstream issue. If we don't stop eating processed foods, it's only bound to get even worse.
The issue with any extreme diet is it is super easy to bounce back. Many of my friends who are also weight lifters cycle on and off of it the way it should be done and some end up bouncing back to old habits. If it wasn't for their high activity levels they would more than likely regain all the weight they lost and more. The key to health is balance no need for extremes, being healthy isn't a trend it's a lifestyle.
If you think of it as a quick fix diet, yeah, you'll bounce back... But I feel so much better that I have no intention of stopping.
Don't get me wrong if it's sustainable for you by all means but I see a lot of people bounce back easily.
also explain.. OMAD (one meal a day) type intermittent fasting
Kavish Purohit He has a video on it already
lennic95 What video is it? I can't find it. TIA!
lennic95 no he has video on if., but not specifically on OMAD
OMAD is very easy to do on keto bc you dont get hungry as often
I've been doing strict keto for 9 months (aka no cheat days) and feel sooooo much better! Keto flu was horrible but salt and electrolytes helped.
Update: june will be 2 1/2 years! Woohoo never felt better. Its a lifestyle for me, not a diet!🤸♀️
@@tymom9313 I’m one week (well, had a cheat day Friday 💀) but I’ve been doing good
Can you do a video on asthma? And what is the best exercise/meal for someone who is heavily asthmatic and looking to lose weight
Take this advice with a grain of salt as I'm no doctor, but I grew up with chronic asthma. I would do just good ole fashioned calorie counting. Get the Myfitnesspal app to help track your food consumption then just do light physical activity if your asthma is triggered by exercise like mine was. A mile or two walk a day is better than nothing.
I switched to Keto just before Halloween, as of today, I've gone from 295 to 270. It's worked brilliantly, so far.
Yeah, "so far" is the problem. Not to worry, you will put every ounce back on. In fact, you will probably crack 300 this time.
@@loverofthemilf Maybe you should try things before you deem yourself an expert. Your statement makes you appear ignorant.
Larkin Huey You wish
Calories in and calories out simple don't need keto to lose weight. I have carbs Pro and fat all healthy and went from 157 to 130.
Adam Nichol Can you be more clear? Bc I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.
I'm 4 weeks into my custom keto diet plan and I've lost 14 pounds which I must say is pretty incredible, it's actually amazing watching my body transform into something I am actually proud of rather than something I have always tried to cover up.
AND you have an account that makes money from it... makes me wonder... especially when I look terrific following a diet DROWN in carbohydrates! Stop giving unhealthy advice to people JUST TO MAKE MONEY. Ugh!
@@adaw332 i would recommend the diet. i am not making a single dime from it.
@@hebechilln how old are you and what do you recommend it for? Did you need to lose weight and how much?
@@adaw332 I’m 19, I would recommend it to some pre-diabetic/diabetics, women with PCOS, and people who have a problem with food addictions/ravenous hunger and insatiable cravings. I did need to lose weight and I lost 65 pounds in about 6 months with little to no physical activity and kept it off for about 2 years now. I found that due to my decreased (nearly diminished) intake of sugar and refined carbs, there was a great decrease in my appetite/cravings, something that I had a huge problem with and going low carb aided in fixing my relationship with food as I only ate when hungry and because I had no cravings, I would make choices that were better for my body rather than my taste buds which also led to massive improvements in my mental health. It’s not very sustainable due to how restrictive it can be so I don’t recommend it for everyone but if you have enough willpower to make it past the first week, I think it’s one if the easier and most effective diets out there and would be an optimal choice for many many many people.
@@hebechilln ok. It makes sense now. Congratulations on your achievements!
first do keto after you've reached your target weight stop keto and start intermittent fasting to avoid regaining weight thats what i did and it worked very well
How many days were you on keto diet and for how many days did you fast? Need reply.
Keto Diet Exit Plan:
FIRST WEEK Add 1 large baked Potato (White or Sweet) or 1 cup of cooked Rice to meal one OR meal two.
SECOND WEEK In addition to changes in week 1 You may replace the Keto snack with up to 3 Fresh Fruits of your choice - eat the snack after meal 2
WEEKS 3 & 4 In addition to changes in week 1 and 2 Add 1 large baked Potato (White or Sweet) or 1 cup of cooked Rice to meal one and meal two for a total of 2 cups of Rice or 2 Baked Potatoes PER DAY
You may replace the Keto snack or Fresh Fruits to any snack of your choice that does not exceed 250 KCAL
That's a good idea... I did keto + IF, got almost to my target weight and had to quit keto because of other life things, but found it very hard to maintain (hence restarting 2 years later), but IF is probably a good strategy. I'll have to remember that...
I used keto diet before for 1month. I lost 10kg. and after that, I do intermittent fasting. I eat anything I want now without regaining weight but I do 16hrs fasting.
@@kurapika1726 its different for everyone
I needed this, i'm lucky keto diet hasnt caught on here in Africa. Ketosis happens naturally here half the people can't even afford food here so we don't play like that. But hey to each their own.
Princess. Wangeshi I’m from Algeria ( North Africa) and here avocados, and berries are very rare and expansive ( a single avocado cost 13 dollars and berries here are only a little bit existant during spring).
BY going on keto I will end up eating nothing but cabbages and chicken 😞. Potatoes, apples and bananas were the few healthy food that I truly enjoyed eating
In Ethiopia we mostly eat vegan low carb traditionally. I was skinny af there.

I can't concentrate when someone this beautiful is talking to me! That's a lie; I learned a lot and am now second guessing starting the keto diet.
Jordan Bratcher The percentages he gave on fats, proteins, and carbs is exactly what Dr. Atkins recommended and most people wouldnt give Atkins a try because they think it's extreme but it's the same diet just rebranded. I tried it can't say I would personally recommend it but what works for one person may not work for another.
Its closer to original Dr Atkins rather than the modern version, which promotes junk processed foods. However most people who have done Atkins overeat meat, I did as well 20 years ago. I ate so much meat that my mouth hurt. Low carb and keto diets these days have a much great focus on veggies.
afaik the last version of the atkins book was written by Stephen Phinney, a keto researcher for decades. And he is not about junk food, or about abundance of meat, but to eat at your personal protein requirement (moderate protein diet). Original atikins took protein/meat liberal. I think you are confusing atkins junk food sales "low carb power bar" and the other junk they sell with the book....though to be honest - I havent read that book by phinney, but I could not imagine he would promote the atkins junk in it.
Snit 77 I followed the 2002 edition and never ate the bars, ever. When the book was written the products, I think, had just come out. I had no interest. I cooked most of my meals at home with the occassional meal out because you never know what's in the marinades. I followed the list of allowed foods but I missed fruit a lot, not cakes or soda or any other junk just fresh fruits. I also missed starchy vegetables. My health also declined. That being said that was just my experience but it may not be everyone's. Anyway, they are the same percentages.
krisher1979 I did the 2002 edition. I don't even know what edition they're on now to be honest. I'm glad they're promoting vegetables now.
*As someone who has suffered from terrible social anxiety about my weight, with my mental health also taking a nosedive too, one of my friends on Facebook told me that she was having great success with a ketogenic way of eating.*
*It sparked my interest, and I ended up doing extensive research. I realized that it was the complete opposite of what I was eating, what the weight loss plan told me to eat, and what the government’s nutritional guidelines said. My head was in a complete spin, and I didn’t know what to do.*
*Fortunately, when I talked to another mother from my daughter’s school, she mentioned that she ate keto and recommended this Keto diet, and finally, it all made sense to me. I started following this Keto Diet earlier this year.*
*Within a few weeks, my mental health was so much better. My head felt clearer, and my anxiety was decreasing. But more importantly, the constant urge to binge has gone. I finally felt like my life was not revolving around food.*
*I am happy to pass on the details of this exact Keto diet that has worked for me for all those interested. Just leave a comment below and ask for More Info or details and I will update this post with the information and link.*
i just learned about keto diet and looked into it more, i’ve been reading and watching videos for the past hour and it’s so crazy..
i’ve lost about 20 pounds since quarantine but my mental health, anxiety, and cravings have been so high lately.
It’s crazy how 75% of fats i’ve been avoiding for the past 6 months. I cut out red meats, dairy, salt, etc; because that’s what i was told by social media and today’s society.
I would love to hear what you did to start your keto diet, i’m 100% in and going to give it my all. Just to mention im around 140-150 and I’m constantly also working out and trying to make my life better but if this is going to boost that then let me know what you’re doing!!
Wonderful to hear this. There are beautiful stories that come out of the community, and other ones that aren't that good... I wish we already had more science to pinpoint what people do right and wrong that either changes their life for the better or makes them live in a nightmare while trying the diet. I guess oy time will show us
I would bet half of those effects are placebo, of course if you go from eating mcdonalds to keto you’re gonna feel better but i would bet my left kidney that if you ate a balanced diet with a moderate amount of carbs you wiuld feel even better.

Every day Im learning more about the ketogenic diet thanks to HyperKeto. Its not just about losing weight, but also improving overall health and well-being... come on u know that.
"Is it weird if he just pops into frame" No it's encouraged lol That dog is so cute!!!
Love my little bear bear (not so little)
not so little but still love :)
This was one of my favorite videos by far. I attempted the keto diet about a year ago and it was just too limiting for me. I know many people who've had success with it. For me, I think I'll just stick with cookies and cream milk shakes as well 😉 I'd love to see your take on vegetarian and vegan diets as well.
Samtastic Nails that's a great idea! Vegetarian wouldn't have that many side effects, but I've been on vegan diets in the past, and the amount of vitamins I had to take were just too much after a while. You CAN get everything you need nutritionally from vegan diets, but it is extremely difficult to, and taking diet supplements just got old after a while.
Though, there are people who live off of Soylent now, which is vegan. So, it definitely looks like it is getting easier.
He did sort of his take on the vegan diet when he reviewed "what the health"
Wesley it's not really difficult, you just need to learn how to cook. People act like it's hard, when in reality the issue is your meals have been so revolved around animal products you most likely starved yourself eating vegan without knowing it. I suggest trying it again eating nutrient dense vegan food (because Oreos are vegan and not healthy) and learn how to cook. Because a vegan diet is possible, but can be unhealthy if you're not doing it correctly. Just like an omnivore diet.
@No
I truly do not understand vegans.
I understand vegetarians but vegans seem to be individuals who are without the ability to think logically.
Why not consume eggs and dairy products? If you say because it is cruel to animals, which is the reason I hear, you are simply willfully ignorant.
You can buy eggs that come from pasture raised chickens. Not cage free because that can mean anything. Pasture raised, which means the chickens live their lives in grass fields and have a stress free life. These also produce the most nutritious eggs.
Same goes for cows, goats or sheep.
Wesley I'm glad you agree! I have friends who are also vegan. One of them said she learned being raw vegan limits your nutrient intake as some veggies have to be cooked in order to get proper nutrients from them. I'll have to ask her if she takes supplements. It's seems rather tiring to me. I dunno if I could partake in any of these lifestyles, but I think the "everything in moderation" is the best route for me.
I understand soy protein isn't exactly good for you, as consuming too much of it can cause extra estrogen to be produced in the body. If this is wrong, maybe Dr. Mike can shed some light on the pros and cons of soy.
Sorry Doc. Living proof you might be off on this one. Been keto 5 years + 174 days. Down 155 pounds, got rid of 29 medically diagnosed "uncurable" diseases. You do have to be vigilant since things creep up or things that should be keto friendly have hidden sugars. As far as have a shake with friends, I enjoy "feast days" like holidays and birthdays with my family. I just make my next meal keto. I lost 28 pound the 1st month, that wasn't all fluid. The 155 pounds wasn't all fluid. I'm full and healthy. People who use intensive exercise and calorie cutting to loss weight have a 99% chance of regaining, so why not just change your diet and enjoy certain feast days.
I put my mom (94) on the keto diet to control her seizures- she is seizure free for over a year now... I absolutely believe this way of eating is good for your brain. I changed my diet with her and will never go back..We were both carboholics...but being healthy is far more beneficial than having to have my bread, pasta or rice...getting past those cravings and staying away from them is simply a mindset, in my case, anyway. As always, I appreciate your input, Dr. Mike. : )
I don’t know how a person can say that the keto diet is difficult to maintain unless they’ve tried it. It has simplified my life, and made me much healthier and happier.
Can you talk about the effects of meat and dairy on your health? I just watched ”what the health” and it was mind-blowing.
I mean the science is pretty straight forward on those topics, but i would like to see his opinion as well.
Suuuch a good docu! That was the documentary that solidified me going vegan!
What the health is not good documentry and it is very narrowed and very fact based and some are even myths and untrue. They are many reviews on that one and even some vegans do not agree on the tactic that it is made there. :D you can watch it from unnatural vegan, who actual said about eating diary and meat in general of what is good or not and also other nutritionist, which I believe they can be even better then doctors if they update and use their knowledge wisely, because they are focused on one point of medicine, when doctors are in more fields. :D I hope I helped.
omg yes
Cristiano Ronaldo Yes the science is pretty based on this one, meat is healthy for you, if you eat in smaller portions not as much as a normal person do.But it is recommended to eat more fish, because they have better quality nutritions in general. They have also omega 3, which meat from cow or pig does not. It is recommended to eat smaller one, to have less metals in them, then bigger ones. Also diary are not bad for you, but you should consume things like quark and yogurt for example, which are better for you then milk for example. Also Skyr is one of the best diary products ,loaded with proteins and low on carbs and fat. I think mostly people are unhealthy because in today society all the proccessed food have higher content of carbs and fat in general. And that is super unhealthy for you body, because the carbs and fat are not proccessed as good as they should be. That is why keto diet is successful and also vegan diet for example. Because our body works better if carbs are like high andfat low or the other way around. The proteins are of course very important, almost more important then carbs and fat. :)
Hey Dr.Mike did you do the Keto diet? You said you would with 20,000 likes and I would like to see that video
Tera Kloc same
Too bad he's famous now and doesn't have time for such tings. 20k likes means noting to him now. Or maybe he just hasn't noticed yet, this is nearly half a year old now...
he posted this on my youtube feed saying “starting the 2 week Keto Diet as I promised!” so i think he’s doing it now
I imagine he would also have to do the diet long-term before he could accurately share his experience. Would you really want him to do the video after only being on the diet for a week?
Damn I didn't even hit keto flu till the 3rd week. Was hoping he would do it for a month
Great video, and I love your channel! As someone who's bipolar II, I'll be curious to see what further research reveals for keto and bipolar disorder, considering the relationship between bipolar and epilepsy. Anticonvulsants for epilepsy are often used as mood stabilizers for folks with BD, both illnesses are connected to the ANK3 gene, both are characterized by cycling, both are often comorbid with chronic migraine (which is also sometimes treated with meds that work for epilepsy and bipolar). Anyway, you probably know a lot of that already, but I wouldn't be surprised if we find that a diet developed to treat epilepsy is helpful for BD as well!
This is really interesting. I'd like to know what do you think of paleo or vegan diet
Mr. Samosa It's supposedly based on what our pre-civilization ancestors ate, but it's completely made up. Half the foods that are "paleo" didn't exist before we selectively bred them. And ancient humans ate whatever they could get/was in season.
Ok there bethany. What foods are you referring to that were "selectively bred"
Pumpped Most of the foods in the grocery store have been selectively bred to bring out more desirable traits. Before selective breeding cows were a lot smaller, lettuces were really bitter, brassicas were just one straggly plant, grains had far fewer and more difficult to access seeds, apples were smaller and tasted like a lot of different things, watermelons had very little edible flesh... the list goes on and on. Food as we know it and the variety we have access to did not exist for paleolithic humans. (This process is very different from genetic modification though.)
I like how you ended with the disclaimer that its different than genetic modification, rendering your points completely useless. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with selective breeding optimizing foods. If you honestly think that selective breeding has changed food to a significant enough degree to make a difference, i feel sorry for you. Btw im not even paleo, you just sound like a fucking dumb ass.
Liz Lee, you started off great and then your stupidity came out. You think eating fruit is only healthy in a small portion? Not sure what you're even talking about when you refer to unripe apples at the store.. they're ripe.
I personally loved Bears appearance
