Weight: 206.74 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Weight: 207.9 Blood ketones: 0.5 mmol/L Well, my ketones are up but I also had dinner with the family yesterday. (Dinner consisted of split chicken breasts with ham and swiss inside, wrapped in bacon and then dipped in eggs and Parmesan cheese.) That was enough salt for me to gain […]

Weight: 204.6 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L Friends took us out to a really nice restaurant last night. Like “valet parking, the menu was in French and located in a cabin” fancy restaurant. After some extensive study of the menu before hand I ended up getting the “Bacon Wrapped Elk Strip Steak” which as  matter of course comes […]

Weight: 206.2 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L We went to dinner last night at Texas Roadhouse, I got the pork chops, salad and broccoli. I should have been WELL under my net carbs for the day. But then I ate a couple peanuts, then some more, and more, and more. I think I ended up eating like […]

Weight: 205.1 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L 3 Rich chocolate Keto Chows yesterday, plus some asparagus covered in cream cheese, mmmm asparagus. I was putting in some details in Cron-O-Meter this morning (the aforementioned asparagus and keto Chow) and noticed there was a shortcut to add blood ketone readings. I was pretty surprised! Turns out they added a […]

Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L I did a new video showing how to mix up meals of Keto Chow: a single meal, two meals with ice in a blender and 6 meals in a gallon pitcher. Share

Weight: 205.6 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Had a great Pi day yesterday. I went and got a DEXA scan and a RMR test. Drank a couple Keto Chows for breakfast and lunch and made fathead pizza for the family for Pi day. Oddly the kids had no problem eating a low carb pizza with the crust made […]

I’ve been doing Nutritional Ketosis (aka: “keto”) for about a year and a half now. I started out at 258 back in late October 2014. I got down as far as 198 but came up some with Thanksgiving, Christmas and the like. For the last while I’ve been (mostly) doing 3 meals of Keto Chow […]

Weight: 205.9 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 204.3 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L When I finally ate yesterday around 5:00 PM my ketone levels were only at 0.3 mmol/L, they should have been up there in the 1.0-1.5 range. Today they’re non-detectable? This is why I would NOT recommend people check their blood ketone levels every […]

Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L My wife wanted to go to dinner with friends before we went to the “Home and Garden show” so we went to Texas Roadhouse. With my still very painful if I chew hard] jaw I got the grilled chicken salad without the croutons. I think I would have been OK […]

Weight: 205.2 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Not sure why my ketones are down today. I did really well yesterday. The only hiccup was I didn’t have any Keto Chow ready for dinner time which was OK since my wife had gotten me a bunless burger from Five Guys (with the free extra bacon and extra cheese, […]

Weight: 206.1 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L The kids apparently were too concerned with playing and didn’t eat enough dinner, so they split up my wife’s Keto Chow she had brought in the car. I drank mine before we left, she had to get a replacement when we got home. Share

Weight: 204.7 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Now that’s what I’m talking about: whoosh! Back down to where I was on Friday. Further giving credence to the notion that it was all water weight and likely the result of inadvertent carbohydrate consumption. Going to keep this trend going. The FexEx boxes came yesterday so I’ve re-enabled that as […]

Weight: 207.1 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L There was a party over at my sister’s house last night. We brought pastries, smoked salmon, veggies and a bunch of cheese. I did this because my mom, my dad, my brother, my wife and I are all doing keto and it’s nice to have something to snack on. I’ve […]

Weight: 206.6 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L Weight: 207.3 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Um, that’s the wrong way. +2.7lbs since Friday? You’d almost think I got too many hidden carbs on Saturday. (This is likely exactly what happened, went to dinner with my parents and I’m guessing the “sugar free jello” at the buffet wasn’t low carb… […]

There’s an interesting reddit thread over on /r/keto about a NPR article that talks about the potential of keto for cancer treatment. The basic premise is: cancer cells aren’t doing what they are supposed to do, particularly metabolically. If you deprive them of readily available glucose they don’t grow/shrink. More research is needed but it’s […]

Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Did a really good job at not chewing anything all day yesterday… until I made jalapeno  poppers wrapped in bacon for my wife – I ate a couple of those. Bad idea, my jaw hurts again now =( We finished up a marathon session mixing last night, We’re almost completely out […]
