Chris

Chris Bair is a technology and computer geek. He became involved in the nutritionally complete "future foods" movement in January 2014, originally with a conventional recipe and later switching to a high fat, low carb "ketogenic" variant on October 2014. In January 2015 he created the recipe for Keto Chow and released it without restriction for anyone to use, at the same time he began mixing the recipe up for people that wanted a finished product and has seen steady growth in the business every month since.

The kind of people Keto Chow appeals to

There is an excellent post over on /r/keto with this comment. For some people, especially those with atomic families, eating is less about the food and more about the social interaction and tradition of breaking bread with those you care for. Obviously having one person sit at a table drinking a shake while everyone else […]

PSA: Banana and Chocolate Peanut Butter mixed is yummy

It was recommended to me quite some time ago but wasn’t until this last week that I finally got around to mixing banana and peanut butter (half of each). It’s quite good. That is all. Share

Amazing Analysis By Credit-Suisse On Fat In Diets

The Credit Suisse Research Institute identifies and provides insights on global themes and trends. Its objective is to provide our clients and the public with leading edge advice by […]

1 Year of Keto, 77% the man I used to be

I started Keto on October 20, 2014 and started posting my experiences on November 4, 2014. A lot has happened in a year. I’m 77% the man I used to be; so let’s do a retrospective. I initially started keto without having done the right research and didn’t know what “keto flu” was or how […]

Is Powdered MCT oil viable for Keto Chow

With Keto Chow there are several liquid ingredients you have to add to the mixture for it to be complete. Heavy Cream MCT Oil Fish Oil You have the option of doing the fish oil as pills (which is what I personally do). But wouldn’t it be cool to somehow include the MCT oil as […]

Scaling up meals of Keto Chow (6 at a time!)

Whilst replying to a thread over on reddit, I remembered something I had pondered upon a few weeks ago. I was making 12 blender bottles of Keto Chow for my wife and myself (lasts a whole 2 days if we both eat 3 meals a day) and thought that making Keto Chow for 2 is […]

The “vitamins now included” stickers

So it’s been about a month since I started putting the vitamins into the powder mixture. All of the packages I have mixed up have the vitamins included. So the “vitamins are included” stickers are a bit redundant. I’m running low on the stickers and don’t want to make more so as soon as I […]

Family Photos, 1 year later

We recently had family photos taken, the last time was 11 months (and 60lbs) ago, just 4 days after I started doing Keto back on October 25, 2014. Time for a comparison. Strangely enough, I’m wearing the exact same pants, but in a 34 instead of the 38s I wore last year. And for kicks, […]

Awesome results from a Keto Chow user

I got a great email from a Keto Chow user this afternoon, I asked permission to share it (since I’m always seeking confirmation). I’ve edited a few spelling errors but that’s it. TL;DR Male/28 5’7″, start weight 185, hit goal weight of 130. (I’m small framed/boned). I just wanted to thank you for this product, […]

Transition complete: all packages have the vitamins mixed in now

We started adding the vitamins to the mixture about a month ago. Some of the flavors and sizes are less popular than others. Some flavors and sizes we had just made a lot the day before the transition started. As of Saturday, all of the packages now have the vitamins included in the mixture so […]

11 months, DreamForce14 to DreamForce15

11 months ago I attended DreamForce 2014. It was really good. It was also the “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” The sheer amount of weight I gained during the conference convinced me to make some changes and start Keto. Attached to this post is the headshot taken last year during DreamForce next to […]

Pro tip: close the lid

At a training, all the is to eat is pastries and fruit. I guess I could eat the butter but that’s a bit excessive. Luckily I brought along keto chow (I planned on this happening and didn’t want to go into carb coma during class), unluckily I apparently did not securely close the little spout. […]

Making Keto Chow in a Hotel

Doing something like Keto Chow in a hotel room presents some interesting issues. I’ve done another “soylent” in hotels before and Keto Chow while camping. I’m using a couple tools to make this all work in my hotel room. A refrigerator. Doesn’t come standard in the room though a quick call to the front desk […]

Redux: What if blaming the obese is blaming the victims?

I’ve posted this before but with the whole “Dear Fat People” video (if you don’t know, consider yourself lucky) I think it should be seen again: Share

Fun with Nginx

WARNING: the following is geeky devops/sysadmin stuff that has nothing to do with keto. I moved servers quite recently and in the process went from Apache to Nginx. Nginx is indeed much faster but it has come with a pretty steep learning curve to get everything working right. And today I ran into a problem […]

New “how to prepare Keto Chow” video (6 meals)

Had some time yesterday to make a new video on how to prepare Keto Chow. I also wanted to talk about using an insulated thermos. For insulated thermos, I’m thinking of ones like a 40 ounce Hydro Flask or a 16 ounce one because you can use them for when you won’t have refrigeration available. […]
