Key takeaways The first continuous ketone monitor cleared in the United States is Abbott's Libre Duo 10 Day, authorized by the FDA on 25 August 2026 for people aged two and older with diabetes, and it exists to flag rising ketones before diabetic ketoacidosis — not to grade a keto diet. Our 30-day burger experiment

On day 4, the film shows Dr. Mike guessing out loud that inflammation from fast food beef would climb along with his cholesterol before any labs confirmed it. This post covers what he predicted, what the routine looked like on camera, and what separate studies say about red meat and inflammatory mar

A fit doctor, Dr. Michael Brandon, ate 600 fast-food burger patties in 30 days on camera with bloodwork before, during and after, and that single-subject test is what our keto diet documentary, The Keto Project, is built on. Ours puts one body through a fixed protocol with repeated panels, brain scans, HRV and a fitness

No, the film does not test seed oils in fast food directly. Dr. Mike ate only Burger King burger patties for 30 days — no bun, no fries, no sauce — so the fryer oil and the bun's seed-oil load were deliberately left out of the experiment. What the film does show is a beef patty isolated from ev

Key takeaways The final bloodwork results from Day 30 are the one part of this experiment I will not type out, because the reveal is the film itself. What I can give you is everything around them: exactly which tests were drawn, on which days, which markers we watched hardest, and which numbers had already

You can almost certainly build muscle on red meat alone, because red meat carries complete protein, leucine and creatine, and the lifting does the rest. What red meat alone will not do is make the first weeks of hard, short, anaerobic work feel normal, and the published trials suggest maximal strength holds on very-low-carbohydrate eating

On day 5 of the experiment, 100 burgers in, Dr. Mike sat down and read the label on what he'd been eating and asked, on camera, what is actually in these things. The film shows the patties themselves were plain beef, no seasoning added by the restaurant beyond what's on the label, but the

By the end of day 2, Dr. Mike had eaten 40 burgers in two days, on the same 20-patties-a-day protocol he started on day 1. He told the camera he felt fine so far, but the film suggests his appetite was already dropping faster than either of us expected, even with 18 more patties waiting for him that

Ketosis on fast food is possible if you strip the bun and keep carbs low enough, but the patty itself isn't what decides it. The film shows Dr. Mike testing blood ketones with a handheld meter during the 30-day burger experiment, and in my experience the bread, sauce and sides are almost always
Yes, meat sweats appear to be real for some people, though there's little formal research on the phenomenon itself. On day 6 of the experiment, the film shows Dr. Mike eating all 20 patties in one sitting specifically to test for it, and what happened to his body temperature afterward is worth
