I tried mixing the PB2 powdered peanut butter into my Keto Chow powder all at once while I was mixing a week instead of adding 12g into each individual meal. Worked out great! It simplified making the meals (only had to weigh once, instead of twice) and when mixed up fully there were less clumps […]

I cloned my Keto Chow Recipe and added PB2 to it so I could get actual numbers instead of hoping I was good with a calculator. I also put the specific nutrition info for the Rich Chocolate flavored protein powder since the different flavors have slightly different values. What I came up with looks really good. […]

Last week I posted about my disappointment with Dymatize “Gourmet” having too many carbs because I couldn’t try their Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor. I decided then to grab a 16 ounce jar of PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (they also make a much smaller 6.5 ounce container it’s nearly the same price as the 16) and try […]

I got a message asking what the difference was between the Dymatize Nutrition Elite “Gourmet Vanilla” and Dymatize Elite Gourmet “French Vanilla” – In a nutshell: the difference is carbs. I freaked out and got super excited when I saw that the “gourmet”line has peanut butter chocolate flavor. I almost ordered some right then and […]

I’m pretty happy that I finally got through my stall; I was stuck between 222 and 220 for 2 1/2 weeks. Yesterday I weighed in at 217.9. This morning the scale said 212.2. While it would be awesome to have dropped 5.7 lbs in a day I’m not buying it. Even my scale saw it […]

I posted this to /r/keto last week, decided it might be nice to have it here too. I started “Obese” (>30 BMI) now I’m just “Overweight”. First time posting progress pics. I was going to wait longer but I was just at a conference where they were doing headshots. I had a similar one taken right before […]

I still haven’t heard anything from MaxK about him launching a new place to order People Chow. To re-cap briefly: I stopped mixing people chow for new customers and am only sending it to existing subscribers. In my opinion Keto Chow is way better than People Chow, even if you’re not going full-bore with a […]

I was able to lose the 10lbs necessary for a 4% reduction in 4 weeks to win a DietBet. For any interested in some statistics, here you go: It was $30 to compete. My actual winnings were $43.87. The “pot” was $66,210 with 2,148 players each paying $30 1132 ended up losing the 4% and […]

This morning I finally hit 220.5 lbs. This is kind of a big deal for a variety of reasons. It’s within rounding distance of being exactly 100 kg (220.46 lbs). I’m almost as excited about being 100kg as I am about being 37 (“I’m 37, I’m not old.” “Well I couldn’t just call you ‘man’.”). […]

Yesterday for kicks I did a little experiment and didn’t eat anything from 21:00 the night before until 18:00, so 21 hours without eating just to see what would happen. I had read that doing a ketogenic diet my body would cope with fasting extremely well, and it did. I still drank water and some zero […]

I ordered a bunch of flavors and mixed them up into Keto Chow last night: Chocolate Fudge, Pina Colada, Smooth Banana, Cookies and Cream and the staple Chocolate Mint, Strawberry and Vanilla. Not pictured is “Rich Chocolate” – I got the 10 lb bag of that one. I then mixed Rich Chocolate, Pina Colada and […]

In addition to the 3 flavors I normally stock, there are 8 other flavors you can get as a special order. There have been several requests for samples of these, so I’m going to work on that. Today I added samples of Butter Cream Toffee and Cinnamon Bun. Unlike the other samples, I’m going to be […]

Hey, got a new theme going on the site. I also added the ability to pay with your credit card. I installed the new theme to try to figure out what the deal was with product reviews not showing up correctly but I decided to keep it. I added “CreditCard” as a payment option, using […]

Trace amounts of ketones are showing up now and everything is returned to normal (thankfully). It also seems that keeping up on electrolytes spared me the Keto Flu this time, which is AWESOME! I still am anxious for my weight trend to head down steadily, that should be this week. I didn’t loose nearly as […]

warning: TMI – Last time I started ketosis (back in October) I bucked the normal trend of getting constipated when starting and went the opposite way. Well, It’s happening again, lucky me. I’m not sure if it has to do with gut fauna dying off (not likely since I only are carbs for 6 days) […]

As previously noted, I started a local weight loss contest yesterday that compares percentage of weight lost as opposed to total pounds. I successfully replenished my glycogen reserves by eating carbs for a few days and gained a fair amount of water weight. So that craziness is over. Now I’m back doing a ketogenic diet which […]
