Weight: 207.5 Blood ketones: 0.9 mmol/L Wow, that’s a LOT of water weight! (3.5lbs) Having food with a lot of salt will do that to you I guess. Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L There I go, back down =) Yesterday I made jello using keto chow and some sugar free jello. Put it in […]

Weight: 204.1 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Yay, my ketones are coming back! I’m down nearly 5lbs in the last 13 days – not bad. Got a family function today, probably going to be all desserts. I’m going to drink a Keto Chow (Cookies and Cream) on the way and snack on the smoked gouda we’re […]

Weight: 204.7 Blood ketones: >0.1 mmol/L The plan was to do Keto Chow for 3 meals a day for 100 days though I decided I wasn’t going to kill myself or stress about it. Yesterday evening we went out to dinner at a Chinese Buffet. There was a Mongolian grill so I was able to find plenty […]

Weight: 205.3 Blood ketones: 0.5 mmol/L Looks like I’m properly hydrated again since my weight went up just a little. One thing I’ve noticed about losing weight and winter: I’m cold. Like all. the. time. This is odd since I used to be the big fat guy that wore shorts all winter. I bought a […]

Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L (04:50) Hey hey, I’m 10% done! The experiment with Intermittent Fasting seems to be a success, though I did have a headache when I woke up this morning. Some of that could have been mild dehydration. Still I’m happy with the results.I didn’t do Intermittent Fasting today because I […]

Weight: 205.9 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L (04:50) Yesterday I tried Intermittent Fasting again. I’ve done it in the past but usually did regular keto food (half a pound of melted cheese and some bacon). With Keto Chow being a liquid, it complicates things. My approach was to skip breakfast, skip lunch and then drink 1 (Chocolate […]

Day 7 (Sunday) Weight: 206.9 Blood ketones: 0.8 mmol/L Day 8 (Monday) Weight: 206.4 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Uh-Oh, my ketone level is on a downward trend. I’m going to have to do better (I swiped quite a bit of the chicken we made the kids for dinner, probably jump started gluconeogenisis). Whatever, let’s focus on the […]

Weight: 206.6 Blood ketones: 1.3 mmol/L Woo Hoo! Blood ketones are almost to 1.5+ (1.5-3 is “optimal range” for nutritional ketosis). That’s great. Made Keto Chow pancakes for breakfast, they were quite yummy. We ran out of our silver bags that we use for the weeks of Keto Chow yesterday and had to use my “backup” […]

Weight: 207.6 (again) Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Weight’s the same and ketones are down a bit. Dangit. This is when you “Keep Calm and Keto On” (KCKO). Ran on the treadmill again, I switched back to a fitbit Charge HR for tracking that. Yep it’s better than the chest strap, plus fitbit talks to cron-o-meter. The […]

Weight: 207.6 Blood ketones: 1.0 mmol/L Totally got trolled by my scale today. For review, yesterday I was up a bit at 208.9; today I weighed myself and it said 202.4 – I doubt I lost 6 lbs overnight. So I tried again, same thing, so I picked up the scale and shook it a […]

Weight: 208.9 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Water weight is so fun, up and down daily. I’m not too concerned, my blood ketones are still going up. I ended up drinking three blender bottles of banana (keto chow) mixed with chocolate (keto chow) yesterday. Ran on the treadmill again and the heart rate monitor was still […]

Weight: 208.5 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Blood ketones are increasing and hey hey, I’ve only got 10lbs to go before I’m back down to what I was in September. I didn’t overtly eat anything carby Thanksgiving through New Years, I was actually pretty good during the holidays but I think too much sugar alcohols (specifically […]

Weight: 209.0 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Yesterday was the first day of “100 days of keto.” I have a batch of chocolate+banana and another batch of chocolate peanut butter keto chow in the fridge. They’re are all mixed up, and I ended up with 3 peanut butter ones for the day. I started tracking my […]

This was cross-posted to /r/keto earlier this week and I’ve decided I’m going to do it, mostly just for kicks (I haven’t done a “cheat day” since January 2015). I’m also doing it to get losing weight more better-er. I’m planning on doing a post every day, both here and on /r/100DaysofKeto (in the daily […]

This morning the scale hit under 200 for the first time since… well, probably 1998. For kicks I tried to take a picture but the scale was acting up and gave me numbers higher than 200. I’m going to live in denial and accept the first pronouncement. And hows about a photo? On the left […]
