Blood test for a year on DIY nutritionally complete “future foods”, 1/4 of that doing keto
I just got back my blood tests and they look good (at least as far as I can tell =). The last time I had it all tested like that was March 2014 after 3 months of People Chow.
So here’s how they stack up to each other:
| Name | 1/6/2015 | 3/20/2014 | target |
| Sodium | 141 | 142 | 135-145 mmol/L |
| Potassium | 4.7 | 4.4 | 3.5-5.1 mmol/L |
| Chloride | 103 | 106 | 99-111 mmol/L |
| ECO2 | 28.2 | 29.6 | 21.0-32.0 mmol/L |
| Glucose | 87 | 79 | 74-106 mg/dL |
| BUN | 21 | 19 | 7-18 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 1.11 | 1.1 | 0.6-1.3 mg/dL |
| BUN/Creatinine Ratio | 18.9 | 17.3 | 8.0-27.0 Ratio |
| Calcium | 9.5 | 9.2 | 6.5-11.8 mg/dL |
| Alkaline Phosphatase | 79.2 | 83 | 50-136 U/L |
| Cholesterol | 135 | 142 | 0-200 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | 96 | 160 | 0-200 mg/dL |
| HDL, Cholesterol | 45 | 43 | 40-60 mg/dL |
| LDL (calculated) | 71 | 67 | 0-160 mg/dL |
My wife points out that I really should have done a blood test before I started People Chow last January but hey, I forgot to do it at the time.
Clearly I’m dying due to the massive amounts of saturated fat I eat every day on my ketogenic diet… or not =) I do think it’s funny that my glucose level is slightly higher even though I hardly consume any glucose anymore.
Chris Bair is a technology and computer geek. He became involved in the nutritionally complete "future foods" movement in January 2014, originally with a conventional recipe and later switching to a high fat, low carb "ketogenic" variant on October 2014. In January 2015 he created the recipe for Keto Chow and released it without restriction for anyone to use, at the same time he began mixing the recipe up for people that wanted a finished product and has seen steady growth in the business every month since.
