30 DAYS OF KETO DAY 14: GOOD NEWS FROM THE DOCTOR

2019-07-23 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 16 min

Chantal documents day 14 of her 30-day keto trial. She shows her breakfast (scrambled eggs with cheese and thick-cut bacon), packs keto items (collagen peptides, Starbucks dark roast coffee, ketone test strips), and travels with Pete to an appointment at an eating-disorder clinic. At the appointment she reports only two binges in the month and receives optimistic feedback from her program psychiatrist: her Vyvanse is helping, her mood improved, and the doctor recommends minimal antidepressants and not completely depriving herself. They eat at a Greek-style restaurant (Chantal brings home leftovers: mushrooms, feta, and chicken) and Pete brings baklava for his mom. Back home she reviews keto snack options she bought (SmartSweets, a low-net-carb bar, Lily's stevia-sweetened chocolate chips), discusses testing urine ketones, and plans to continue the keto trial.
