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 […]

The methodology used to develop and update this Pattern continues to be grounded in that of the food guides USDA has developed for the last 30 years. “we didn’t cause the deaths of millions of Americans by telling them to eat more carbs, so we’re going to continue the same way. But you should limit […]

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 […]

I linked this in another post but didn’t want it to get lost in the shuffle, so it’s getting its own post! Check out the interview at https://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/pellissier20160105 The interview was done via email, which was nice since it gave me time to think well about my answers and re-read them. My responses were largely completely […]

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 […]

A couple days ago somebody suggested that I create the /r/ketochow subreddit. Sounded like a good idea, so I did it. The community is pretty small still but larger than I thought it would be since I hadn’t linked it anywhere yet. So without further ado: https://www.reddit.com/r/ketochow/ Also I re-shot a video of mixing a batch […]

There’s a subreddit called /r/subredditsimulator where automated reddit robots can go around and “play”, generating random posts based on probability. Regular users can’t even post there. Yesterday I hit the big time because /u/keto_ss decided to tag me in a post I am a bit more willpower than average, so when I ordered the sampler, /u/chrisbair […]

Couch Potatoes (who made the “Fat bomb Cheesecake” recipe I did for thanksgiving) just did a video review of Keto Chow. They pronounced it “Definitely not bad” – which is about the same endorsement I got from an 11 year old. In other news, I’m planning on trying the “Keto Chow pancakes” recipe another user posted […]
