00:00It's Keto time!

00:12Keto, Keto, Keto.

00:15I challenge you to get my Keto video to 20,000 likes,

00:18and you surpassed that goal plenty.

00:20And I'm actually really excited about this.

00:22I'm unfortunately fresh out of a breakup,

00:26so I'm more motivated than ever to change my lifestyle around,

00:29be healthier, look better.

00:31I want to take you guys along for that journey.

00:33My one month of Keto starts now.

00:51Just do it!

00:54All right, I'm gonna have my very first Keto meal.

00:59It's the middle of the day.

01:00I didn't have breakfast,

01:01so I guess you could say I'm intermittent fasting today as well.

01:04This is my meal here.

01:06Beef chili with Oaxaca cheese, Oaxaca, and cauliflower rice.

01:12To my surprise, the first few days of Keto weren't that bad.

01:16I was totally expecting that I would go with Keto flu symptoms right off the bat.

01:20It wasn't that bad.

01:21I didn't have sugar withdrawal.

01:23All right, well, I'm at the gym right now.

01:26This is my first heavy workout while on Keto.

01:29And I gotta admit, I'm incredibly tired.

01:32And I got a good night's sleep, so it's not because of that.

01:34I suspect that it's probably because I haven't had carbs in four days,

01:38or at least not enough to make me replenish my glycogen stores.

01:43The weight stayed the same.

01:44My strength was there, but I fatigued much earlier in my sets.

01:48Can't even be certain it's due to the Keto diet, but that's what was happening.

01:56Bro, you're a little worse.

01:57All right, my man just shot a shot.

01:59Made me drop my phone.

02:01This guy right here, wannabe basketball player.

02:03All right, today's my first day of cardio with Keto on board.

02:08And I gotta admit, I'm feeling pretty tired.

02:10I just beat both of these guys though.

02:12I was able to keep up with them, and my sprints were fine,

02:15and my game was fine, but I noticed that after a game or two,

02:18when I would be somewhat out of breath, I was totally burnt.

02:21I was really tired, much more than usual.

02:24Again, not certain that it's 100% due to the Keto diet,

02:27but I do suspect Keto is playing a role

02:29in my decreased stamina in my exercise.

02:34The Keto struggle is so real.

02:36I'm eating cat food.

02:38Let me at least fix my hair and make y'all look good.

02:40While Lisa's eating a healthy salad,

02:42with some croutons in there,

02:44I'm eating cat food.

02:45It's not cat food.

02:46Tell them about the cat food.

02:48It's salmon.

02:49What damn cat food?

02:50I'm eating cat food, it's right there.

02:52That's called the Keto struggle.

02:54Going into the second week of Keto,

02:57I was starting to struggle a lot with my food choices.

03:00When I go to work, and I'm gonna be working a long shift,

03:04I can't bring all of these goodies and avocado and all this stuff.

03:08So what did I do?

03:09I brought a Thrive Market can of salmon with some mayonnaise,

03:14and I basically ate cat food.

03:16Eating a diet that's so high in fat,

03:18I mean 75% of my calories were coming from fat,

03:21it's difficult to maintain that,

03:24and I don't plan well.

03:25For example, if I'm going to a big event,

03:27I should probably eat beforehand.

03:29I'm at the Sebastian Maniscalco concert.

03:33The Keto struggle is real,

03:35because this guy is eating a full hot dog,

03:38and I gotta suffer right now with this.

03:41You have to plan ahead if you want to stick to Keto,

03:44because when you go to a fast food joint or a restaurant,

03:47yes, they may have a piece of meat,

03:49but eating high protein is not Keto.

03:51You have to be eating high fat,

03:53so you have to be thinking about

03:54what it is you're gonna choose off the menu.

03:56And you can get a cheeseburger that's very fatty,

03:59has sauce on it, that hopefully is carb-free.

04:02That's not optimal Keto.

04:03That's like the dirty Keto that people talk about.

04:06You're eating high saturated fats,

04:07overcooked red meats, using processed oils,

04:10and that's not something I generally recommend,

04:12or want for myself.

04:18Two weeks in, I already had some results showing.

04:21My clothes were fitting better,

04:22my abs were coming out of hibernation,

04:24like one of them legit came out and said,

04:26what up?

04:27And I was like, oh my God, look at my abs.

04:29I used to see you back in the day,

04:30and then you started hibernating.

04:31It did surprise me that after two weeks of Keto,

04:33I was already starting to see results,

04:35and now I get why this diet is so popular

04:38amongst people who are trying to lose weight quickly.

04:40And not that I'm advocating for that,

04:42but it was nice to see results so early on,

04:44and quite motivational.

04:45I will say though, the majority of the weight loss

04:48that happens in the first week or so,

04:50it's usually water weight.

04:51That's not gonna be sustainable,

04:53that speed of weight loss.

04:56I feel like on Keto, I wake up really hungry.

05:00Normally, I don't mind skipping breakfast,

05:02but on Keto, I'm starving.

05:04It's probably because I'm eating so much less calories

05:06than usual.

05:07Getting into the later weeks of Keto,

05:09I was getting hungry.

05:11That doesn't mean I wasn't satiated.

05:12I mean, eating a lot of fats, you get full quickly

05:15and you're no longer hungry.

05:16But when I say hungry, I mean more like cravings,

05:18bananas, cookies and cream milkshakes.

05:21And then I even noticed a pattern where I was hungry

05:24just because I was bored.

05:26I had a high fat meal.

05:27I had some sardines with guacamole.

05:30I'm full, but I wanna munch on something.

05:33I just wanna eat some chips.

05:34So I realized I like to bored eat.

05:36And on Keto, you really can't bored eat,

05:39unless you just eat nuts all day.

05:41But how much, I don't understand how many almonds

05:43you can eat in one day before you...

05:47I think I broke Keto.

05:49I mean, not technically.

05:50I had several drinks last night.

05:54That technically throws you out of Keto.

05:56They were not sugary drinks.

05:58I just had soda and alcohol,

06:01but that does technically take you out of ketosis,

06:04at least for a short while.

06:05So you probably think I'm a failure.

06:09Look, we all make mistakes.

06:11And two steps forward with one step back

06:14is still one step forward.

06:16That's something that I want you to remember

06:18and take away from my Keto journey.

06:20If you mess up, it's not the end of the world.

06:23It doesn't mean that you're a failure.

06:24Yes, I had a few drinks and it took me out of ketosis

06:27for a little bit because your body actually metabolizes

06:29the alcohol and uses that as energy instead of fats.

06:32But it's fine.

06:33As soon as I stopped drinking the alcohol,

06:35the next day I was probably back in ketosis

06:37and everything was back on track.

06:39So did it slow down my progress?

06:41Probably somewhat, but it wasn't the end of the world.

06:44If I treated it like it was the end of the world,

06:46that would hurt my progress

06:48because that would demotivate me

06:49and cause me to order some cookies and cream milkshakes.

06:52And we know we can't do that on Keto.

06:54I had a renewed determination

06:56to continue and finish my Keto journey.

07:02Even at the mall.

07:06One month of Keto's in the books.

07:10I made it.

07:11I ate 75% of my calories from fat,

07:1420% from protein, 5% from carbs.

07:17I stuck to this bad boy.

07:18But let's talk summary.

07:19Let's talk about what happened.

07:21First and foremost, body.

07:23I started this diet at 208 pounds.

07:26I ended, I weighed in this morning at 202 pounds.

07:30So that's a six pound weight loss in four weeks.

07:32Sounds pretty appropriate,

07:34about a pound and a half per week.

07:35My abs are showing a little bit more,

07:37which gets me really excited for summer.

07:39Now when it comes to my mind,

07:41I don't necessarily feel any big difference that jumps out.

07:46But I do notice that I don't crash as much,

07:49especially in the mid-day section.

07:51Let's talk recommendation.

07:52For the average healthy person,

08:09going on a short course of Keto will help them lose some weight,

08:13and it probably won't be detrimental to their health.

08:15If you're going to start a new diet,

08:17any diet for that matter,

08:18go see your doctor and have that conversation.

08:20Figure out what are the benefits versus harms,

08:22so you can make the most educated decision possible moving forward.

08:26I hope you guys enjoyed me trying out Keto.
