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, […]

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, […]

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 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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

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. […]

A great article that talks about how diet advice ignores hunger can be found here: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/opinion/diet-advice-that-ignores-hunger.html?_r=0 As described on Reddit: An excellent article highlighting the differences between fat and carb restricted diets, and the aftermath when people end them, and the effect that carbs have on increased hunger. Gary Taubes is the guy that wrote “Why […]

I did a small number of changes to the recipe for Keto Chow. The LIQUID part of the coconut oil was causing confusion. I’m removing it in favor of just MCT. MK-4 pills have been replaced with MK-7, you still open up one for each day (7 for a week) and add it when mixing together […]

Since my wife switched from “Whole30” to keto I’ve been burning through blender bottles much quicker. We finished the last round this morning. So I mixed up some chocolate fudge using all of the blender bottles that weren’t in the dishwasher. Took about 20 minutes, ended up with 10 of them. That won’t even last […]

Today marks beginning of an end: all of the Keto Chow I mix from here on out (and actually going back a few days) has the vitamins included in the mixture. No more emailing me because I forgot to put them in the bag. No more questions about if people can use vitamin Y instead of […]

Over on Reddit there’s a great post from a guy that’s lactose intolerant and wanted to try Keto Chow. I often get questions about this in relation to the heavy cream and it’s interesting what he found. The TL;DR version is: Don’t replace the heavy cream with MCT oil, 63ml of MCT is WAY too […]

This article does a great job distilling down how messed up the “Generally Accepted Dietary Wisdom” is on Cholesterol. Everything You Know About Cholesterol Is Wrong Some of the things he wrote lead me to believe he’s at minimum aware of ketogenic diets and maybe even doing keto/paleo. There’s also an excellent section “Beyond Good […]

I decided to take a video of mixing up a batch of Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow. The mixing device was sparkling clean before I dumped the powder into it; that powder is messy stuff man. For this video I let off the cover that normally keeps the dust down a bit. I will sometimes […]
