Is “Doctor Mike On Diets: Intermittent Fasting | Diet Review” worth watching?

by Doctor Mike · Uploaded Feb 2018

Substance score88out of 100Watch

Worth watching — it scored high on substance.

The verdict

The creator, a licensed medical doctor, provides a balanced, evidence-based overview that distinguishes between animal studies and human clinical data, while explicitly acknowledging the lack of long-term human research.

Key points

  • Prerequisite knowledge level: General health literacy; no specific medical background required.
  • Intermittent fasting (IF) is presented as a tool for caloric restriction and hormonal regulation rather than a 'magic' weight-loss solution.
  • The video highlights significant gaps in current research, specifically the lack of long-term human studies and the absence of standardized nutritional guidelines for fasting windows.
