Everything about the stunt at the center of The Keto Project: a fit doctor, 600 burgers, 30 days, and a blood draw every week.

No spoilers on the final labs — that is what the film is for. Start with the bloodwork post, then the book, then watch it on Amazon.
On Day 9 of the 30-day, 20-burgers-a-day experiment, Dr. Mike's own journal describes carnivore diet sleep problems: his Fitbit logged him falling asleep at 12:15 even though he was in bed before 10. He also logged stomach pain, head discomfort and cold sweats running close to around the clock,
