welcome everyone to depression to
expression. my name is Scott and today
we're going to talk about the ketogenic
diet challenge.
I went through four mental health
reasons that's what those 30 days of
logs were all about when I was trying to
do is experiment and see does food have
an impact on my mood now the answer is
obviously it does obviously it does but
I was looking for ways that the
ketogenic diet would increase my energy
overall mood how I felt in the mornings
and what it did was actually something
that I didn't expect I'm going to talk
about three things that the ketogenic
diet basically cured in 30 days it's
pretty remarkable and then I'm going to
talk about what foods I'm introducing
now that I've already introduced and
what the effect has been so far because
if you follow me on Twitter and an
Instagram and stuff you know I've been
talking about man I just want that
coffee I just want a nice old-fashioned
plain donut how about a maple dip how
about a vanilla dip how about an apple
fritter I was craving some of that stuff
and well I'm gonna tell you what I've
introduced and what the effect is but
first the three things oh and also blood
test results too you can check this
video out I was in the hospital cuz I
fell off my bike and what they do is
they take your blood when you're in the
hospital see if everything's a-okay and
it just so happens I wanted to do that
anyways for the ketogenic diet so I'm
like hey nurse May please have those
test results can I have a copy of that
now this doesn't include like B vitamins
and things like that you need separate
tests like for an actual physical to get
those but there's pretty cool things in
this blood test that I think you'll find
very interesting because the ketogenic
diet man that's a way different way to
eat then I was used to like I was pretty
high carbon when you're doing 70% fat
20% protein 10% carb I was barely doing
10% carb there it was very very
different and the blood test actually
surprised me so you ready sit back relax
take your pants off if you haven't
subscribed please subscribe this is a
mental health channel depression to
expression where we express ourselves
we freely with confidence alright let's
do this the first thing the ketogenic
diet cured at around day I think it was
around day 15 after the keto flu after I
felt terrible the big cure was my
allergies seasonal allergies now I can't
remember a time where I didn't have
seasonal allergies where my eyes weren't
itchy where my nose wasn't running or
plugged where my ears and the roof of my
mouth weren't itchy it hasn't happened
and that's a result that I didn't know I
didn't expect that to happen and let me
tell you going through a summer and not
having to sneeze not having to take
allergy medication was awesome like I go
to bed and I can actually breathe
through my nose for all of you who
suffer from seasonal allergies it's like
going to bed and you have to breathe
through your mouth and you wake up with
the dry mouth the Pastis this was a
treat this was a real treat and again
from an early early age I've been taking
arias Claridon doesn't work for me arias
is the one allergy medication that I
take that just does wonders I'm spitting
everywhere and I was just so surprised
by that result so surprised and so happy
so that's number one
seasonal allergies gone with the
ketogenic diet gone number two this
isn't really a cure and this was pretty
much an obvious thing because my my
calorie intake I don't think was as high
when I when you go off carbs as you can
see by the vlogs if you I'm gonna you
know put a link up here where you can
see every single vlog I did for the 30
days and you can see how I'm pissed off
at the beginning going through keto flu
there's times of depression times of
more anxiety times where I'm just like
this diets stupid and then other times
where after the keto flu I get used to
things get used to the habit you know
eating differently getting used to
cooking differently buying the right
vegetables buying meats finding them on
sale you get used to the whole thing
after just a few weeks but the one thing
was my calories were definitely
at the beginning I had to eat non-stop
and I was telling Michaela who
introduced me to this diet and told me
to try it she was like yeah you're gonna
like be hungry a lot of the time at the
beginning your body's just not used to
it my body was craving carbs and I'm
just like use the fat for energy you
idiot my body wasn't listening for a
while so what it did is uh for all you
ladies or gay men I'm gonna show you my
stomach now it's nothing serious okay
but I had a beer belly before the
ketogenic diet not a beer belly but I
had a kangaroo pouch I was growing a
Joey in there and from the reduced
calories but also you talk to anyone you
reduce carbs your stomach gets flat man
it gets flat so that was what I saw even
around week one flatter stomach and no
bloating after eating huge improvement
huge improvement so I just want to show
you like that's pretty cool right and
I'll do a little flex like guys I
haven't done a sit-up in a month a
because that accident bruised my ribs
right I don't know if you can see that
that's my hip but that was all bruised
my ribs are still bruised here so I've
been able to work out but look at that
man that's crazy now if I push out
that's the push out that's the push out
but you're never actually going cool
like when you're walking around right so
that's pretty cool what do you think I
do a little twist you know it's all
lighting at the end of the day and I'll
have to make this a thumbnail so I get a
click or two but um guys like in all
seriousness not to flaunt or beep be
cocky about how my body looks you know I
don't do that type of thing but I wanted
to show you and you asked for it
again I should have done it before
thinking if I have any pictures of a
before I probably do but I did lose 10
pounds on the keto diet and the 10
pounds were on it was honestly in that
stomach area that's where you know women
get it in the hips
and men get it right in the bellies
right in the lower abdomen so that was
pretty cool what do you think that's
pretty cool so we're at no allergies
that's number one awesome number two
belly fat gonzo number three headaches
headaches now here's the tough thing
here's the tough thing I got a pillow
about a week and a half into the
ketogenic diet a new pillow a Casper
pillow but I was sleeping at my parents
place I was sleeping at friends places
so I had different pillows throughout
the month and I was still getting no
headaches in the morning in the
afternoon night never never and let me
tell you I would get headaches often in
the morning ketogenic diet no headaches
no headaches can you believe that now I
went with these three three cures I'm
not I'm not advertising any diet like
I'm never one to be like carbs are bad
like to eliminate this or go vegan or go
carnivore do this and that I'm just
sharing my own experiences here and with
these three improvements that's pretty
awesome that is pretty cool just after
30 days of eating differently I don't
know what the long-term effects of keto
are well I'll talk to I'll talk to you
about the foods I'm reintroducing but
that's so cool that is so cool because
usually I'll have a headache in the
morning just it feels like inflammation
that's what it feels like and with the
weather to certain certain weather
cloudy weather I don't know different
pressures in the air I get headaches for
30 days not a headache even during the
Quito flu not a headache so that's cool
those are the three things so we have
allergies no bloating and a flatter
stomach and no headaches that's really
cool so next I'm going to go through
introducing my foods and last I'll show
you my blood results so again if you
follow me on Instagram or Twitter all
the links are below all the great links
to all these cool playlists and what we
do here on depression to expression it's
all available in the description but I
was craving donuts
carb withdrawal is a real thing and you
know people get hangry and maybe people
before their morning coffee they're less
they're impatient and they're not fun to
be around
that's carb withdrawal man like I was
feeding for a little bit I was pissed
off I was really mad about having to eat
so much at the beginning but let me tell
you the one thing I wanted more than
anything was a doughnut
I wanted a doughnut and I haven't had
one yet but what I have introduced
slowly but surely is Mikey - Mikey -
genic diet was different than most
because most people stick on the dairy
coz dairies great for fat bunch of
cheaters but I didn't do dairy I didn't
I had no fruit not a single fruit this
was meat and veggies that's it that's it
oils of course oils ruj and water no
coffee either no bullet coffees no
butter in my cup my coffee none of that
because that's a big thing with keto as
well doing the bullet coffees nothing so
what I wanted to introduce first was
fruit I first had a plum waited a day
had a banana and a peach waited two more
days no reaction so good news those
three fruits like I miss bananas I would
have a banana every single day at least
two bananas and no reaction whatsoever
fruit a ok second beer I had a beer and
no reaction whatsoever I waited a few
days right the taste was delicious I'm
trying to think of what beer I actually
had oh it was at the wedding it was a
Sleeman it was a Sleeman yes I could
have chosen a cool Ontario craft brew or
something from Toronto it was a Sleeman
but it was delicious it was delicious
and it was out of wedding so maybe I
sweat I danced I had lots of food
I didn't eat carbs there during the meal
but the B
success so we're at fruit beer a ok
haven't had a bagel or any bread or
anything whatsoever but the other thing
I did have was oh wait let me just think
oh right sorry the bread that was just a
lie I had a burger with the bun burger
with the bun and phone please and no
reactions whatsoever didn't feel groggy
didn't feel any adverse effects I know
what you're thinking like yeah
maybe I would have if I did this maybe
for a two-month period or three months
like do 90 days and then go back to the
original diet um but I was definitely in
ketosis man like oh it was the best
feeling when I woke up one morning and
wasn't starving that happened at around
day 26 27 I woke up and I wasn't
starving like I would get up in the
morning and I'd be in pain cuz I'd be so
hungry and after like you know three
weeks I I wasn't starving that was a
great feeling but so I was definitely in
ketosis but the bread didn't do anything
and the last thing that I reintroduce
was sauces so I did catch up and this
barbecue sauce that was fairly low sugar
but I I dipped chicken and a burger in
there and that was it now I the way I
did the burger was no sauce on the
burger so I could see how the bun is
just alone and then reintroduce sauces
on their own I was very careful about
this no reactions whatsoever but
remember this is mental health I did the
ketogenic diet for mental health reasons
not to not to lose weight not to see
what my workouts would be like and
energy levels that way pumping iron
although I my energy wasn't great the
whole time but this was for mental
health and as far as anxiety or anything
like that or depression no real benefit
with the ketogenic diet no big benefit
because I was feeling good from the
beginning now as I told you all before
the real test would be going off
antidepressants and maintaining the
ketogenic diet and that's something I'm
still debating and I'd appreciate
you're balanced opinion there and don't
go after me about that but it's a big
decision because I've gone off
antidepressants before and I've almost
died and I know the withdrawal effects
it's like well if you've gone through
that yeah I don't need to describe it so
last but not least this is very uncut
let's go through the blood results now
as I said before the nurse was nice
enough to give me a copy I'm trying to
figure out how to best share this with
you guys
they measured sodium potassium chloride
total co2 glucose levels and creatinine
I believe that's how you say it creatine
creatine NIEM so sodium perfect and my
meals I added salt on everything since
with carbs and breads you're getting a
lot of salt that way you do need to salt
your food with the Kido that's one thing
I learned potassium on the high end but
right on chloride perfect glucose was on
the low end so they give you a range of
four moles per liter 27.8 and I was at
four point six so the nurse did say that
was on the lower end glucose and well
obviously I'm not getting the carbs so
that I think that makes sense
or maybe I wasn't full keto I don't know
those experienced or maybe a doctor's
watching please let me know creatine
which is creatine you get all that from
meat right that was at 84 out of 112 so
that's a perfect range I just want to
talk about the things that were high for
me and with this blood test so red blood
cell count was on the height like it was
too high so they give you a range of
four point three to five point six e 12
per litre don't know what that means
anyways it was five point six for red
blood cell count was high as well as
which is cool MP v MP V stands for the
platelet volume the your blood platelets
and how large they are
and I was these were fairly big and if
something is again I was talking in the
MPV I can tell you exactly what that
means mean platelet volume average
platelet volume calculated measurement
of the average size of platelets found
in the blood and is typically included
in the tests as part of the CBC so what
this means if it's high it says normally
occurs when your body constantly creates
new platelets because of a continual
loss of existing platelets this can be
caused by things like recent surgery
infection inflammation or from heavy
blood loss so I didn't lose any blood
but I'm thinking maybe inflammation
could have had something to do with this
although with the lack of seasonal
allergies like allergies it's a it's an
immune response right so I'm thinking
the inflammation my immune system went
down but who knows I know I'm kind of
talking out of my ass here because I'm
not a doctor and I have absolutely no
medical training when it comes to comes
to blood tests if you know more about
this stuff please comment below this is
a this is a dialogue so please help me
out a little bit if you find this
interesting and the other thing that was
high was monocytes abs monocytes when
they're high a heightened percentage in
your blood can be caused by chronic
inflammatory disease such as
inflammatory bowel disease so another
thing with inflammation isn't that
interesting two of the things in my
blood that could be caused that are high
that could be caused by inflammation
that is very interesting isn't it so
those are the blood results blood tests
white blood cell count was perfect
again I talked about the glucose being
perfect I said red blood cell count was
perfect and that's about it so that was
the ketogenic diet there's the three
cures that's the reintroduction of food
so far so good again I'm not going back
to heavy carb anymore I told you I'd
update you on that I'm not it doesn't
make sense and I'm definitely not eating
dairy again I don't miss it I do not
miss dairy I don't miss cheese I don't
miss milk I don't miss yogurt
don't miss butter none of that so excuse
me Dairy is something that I'm fine with
missing out on that's a big inflammatory
thing I guarantee if I reintroduce dairy
allergies would come back
I could probably experiment with that
for sure but I just have to go buy dairy
I don't really want to buy stuff and
then the blood cell or sorry the blood
tests all seems good right except for
the the high the high parts but the
nurse said that's like honestly nothing
to worry about
we'll see if I'm dead within a week
please call for help now that's so
that's the 30-day challenge everyone
Kido
I'd highly recommend it if you suffer
from seasonal allergies if if you want
to try something different for anxiety
for depression right for for any kind of
physical illness that you have um I'm
all about just trying everything
attacking something that you suffer with
from every different possible angle and
see what works and diet for the most
part is something that people don't
really think about and that we don't
experiment with which is actually pretty
nuts let me tell you it wasn't fun for
the first two weeks but it's two weeks
out of your life man it was definitely
worth it as an experiment and I'm gonna
change the way I eat for the rest of my
life a burger here and there is great
but as far as heavy passes and dairy
sauces and cheeses and candy it's just
not worth it anymore it doesn't do
anything for me so like I would keep
this diet altered version where you know
I can have I can still have fruit which
is fantastic but I do it just from the
seasonal allergies point of view and the
headaches pretty awesome and I'm pretty
excited so I hope this gave you some
motivation to to try this yourself I
know a lot of people who are following
the vlogs everyday we're doing their own
challenges please comment let me know
how your 30-day challenge went I know a
lot of you were getting rid of refined
sugar some of you stopped drinking
coffee
other people were doing meditation for a
month every day let me know how that
went and I hope you enjoy the new
backdrop
