Preparing keto food can be an expensive, tedious process, so I wrote out some tips in this article. So I’m doing ketogenic D.I.Y. soylent right now (the “nuclear option” for losing weight, as I like to call it). There’s info about ketosis in a previous post and info about how bad the “induction phase” recipe […]

Well, I’ve been doing keto for 2 weeks now, sounds like time to write down my experience so far. I looked at various recipes and QuidNYC Ketofood seemed to be the most popular, was fairly simple, and didn’t sound horrible. I noticed that there was an “Induction Phase” variant with mostly the same ingredients and […]

So yesterday I posted about starting Ketogenic soylent, I thought I’d take a little time to explain what that is and what’s going on. DISCLAIMER: This post will contain some generalizations to simplify things, if you want to do real actual research you’ll want more specifics elsewhere. The cells in your body like glucose. A […]

I started consuming People Chow back in January 2014 for a variety of reasons, but primarily to lose weight. Now I’m looking into keto. Initially, People Chow did an excellent job of doing just that with around 14 pounds going away over about a month. The main reason for the loss was I was exceptionally […]

While I was gone, I got a question about adding Bitcoin as a payment option. So that’s now an option along with Paypal. I’m back from the Dreamforce conference! It was a week of soylent-fueled learning stuff (there might have also been a few concerts and parties that I may or may not have gone […]

I’m going to be in San Francisco from October 11 to the 17th for Dreamforce. I plan to ship out all current orders on Friday the 10th before I leave. I will ship any new ones that come in on Saturday the 18th when I get back. There are a few people with active weekly subscriptions […]

Beginning today, all of the mixed People Chow I’m sending out will have 4g of Xanthan Gum per week. I’ve been testing it in my own batches and there’s a marked improvement in the texture of the final product. I was going to wait on this for a bit longer but on Monday I shipped […]

This week I’m down in Arches National Park helping my dad do a nighttime photography workshop. Mostly my job consists of running around and setting up lights and carrying stuff (though I did press the shutter for him a few times when he was light painting, I joke that I’m going to claim copyright on […]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be shipping any orders next week. I’m planning on shipping out everything that comes in before noon on Saturday, September 13th and won’t be doing another round of shipments until Saturday September 20th. I’ll be helping my dad with https://www.meetup.com/NightScape-Photography/events/154916402/ I get to be the pack mule […]

After my post about using a pump to measure oil some people on the reddit thread were wondering why use a pump instead of a measuring cup or even a turkey baster. It hadn’t even occured to me that people would wonder about this! Since I’m mixing up a meal of people chow 4 times […]

There’s a really well produced news story about Soylent and soylent (DIY). You can find it at https://www.sbs.com.au/thefeed/blog/2014/08/12/soylent-meal-replacement – might be an easy way to tell people what the whole soylent thing is about (sourced from Reddit). Share

A few days ago there was a post on the Soylent Discourse forum about using a popcorn butter pump for oil. The one linked was far larger than I would like and is designed for gallon size containers. I wanted one that would hold a few days (or weeks) of oil and would be practical on my desk […]

So I’ve been getting some of my supplies from supplementwarehouse.com lately and they have a promo for a free shaker cup with purchase. It does add to the shipping cost if you have a small order but the difference has been negligible on the orders I’m doing. If you want more than the free one […]

I’ve said it before but D.I.Y. soylent is really handy when you’re busy. It’s great for a variety of situations. Like at work and when you’re busy mixing up…. more People Chow? Share

Following a discussion on Reddit, I’ve added the option for having cocoa powder mixing in with people chow. I’ve been doing it myself for a while and it mixes better if you mix it all at the same time (though the Hershey Special Dark powder I’m using tends to have a few little tiny clumps […]

I’m back doing the “regular” People Chow (as opposed to Low-Cal). I’m mixing the oil into each meal instead of downing the days worth when I’m getting ready in the morning. I figured it would be a good time to make a video just about mixing up a meal in a blender bottle to highlight […]
