100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 02
The first day of Keto Chow only is done, and the initial weigh-in for the city contest is done! I’ll be able to base my progress off that, though the clothes add some additional weight compared to when I weigh myself in the morning. I forgot to check my blood ketones yesterday, so I’ll be missing one data point. I do have breath acetone levels for yesterday though.
Yesterday we went over to my Mom’s house to help her take down Christmas. She made keto fajitas for everyone, I got to drink my Raspberry Cheesecake. So goes the 100 days =) This morning I mixed up 3 days worth of Keto Chow for me (9) and 4 extras for the teenagers that will be inevitably stealing the mixed Keto Chow – I labeled the ones for me because they have 1 tablespoon of MCT in them (and higher calories).
No GI issues to report yet. In the past, when I’ve gone from 2/3 of my meals as Keto Chow to 3/3 as Keto Chow, I’ve had 1-2 days of diarrhea – taking a probiotic usually fixes that quickly. Dunno if it’s the liquid aspect, the fat, or the liquid fat but there seems to be a big difference between mostly and all the way Keto Chow. That said: people who start a keto diet, irrespective of using Keto Chow or not, frequently have issues with “loose stool” – just search the Keto subreddit for “never trust a fart” and you’ll see the reports =)
Chris Bair created Keto Chow to simplify getting good nutrition for "I just need food" meals, focusing on the best available proteins, vitamins, and minerals to save mental energy for important things. You don't have to be doing keto to use Keto Chow but it does make keto easier. In 2023 Chris created SALTT Electrolytes ('salty') as an alternative to existing electrolytes that contained questionable ingredients, like maltodextrin, and didn't align with what he wanted in an electrolyte supplement. The number 1 best seller is the unflavored Clean Slate.
