Experiment Methodology Food Log Blood and Other Tests Experience Results October 20, 2017, I (Chris Bair, that’s me) started an experiment on myself to see what would happen if I ate only Keto Chow for 4 weeks while getting weekly blood tests to monitor my health and what was going on in my body. I […]

I have the second-to-last test results from my experiment back. To quickly recap: I’m doing a test where I’m only eating Keto Chow and drinking water. Nothing else. No snacks, no diet soda, no gum, no nothing. I am taking the Keto Chow fish oil pills as they are required to get the right EPA […]

Way TL;DR: eating only Keto Chow & drinking only water for a week and a half has brought down my fasting insulin to 3.7 μIU/mL and raised my ketones to 3.2 mmol/L. I’ve also lost 9.2lbs but that’s not on the graphs below. On October 22nd, 2017 (3 years and 2 days after I started Keto) […]

Quite some time ago I tested Keto Chow 1.5 and how it effects (my) blood glucose levels. Time to run the experiment again! This time I didn’t forget to not eat so I started with a clean sample. My first meal was at 11 am, with my previous meal 17 hours earlier at 6 pm […]

I’m in the final stages of doing some changes to the Keto Chow recipe (v2.1) and I wanted to do a “burn-in” test to make sure that everything is working. Might as well experiment on myself, right? My plan for the next 4 weeks is to ONLY eat Keto Chow, drink only water, take fish […]

As mentioned earlier, starting January 1, 2017, I committed to writing down everything I eat in Cron-o-meter before I eat it. Turns out this works quite well, which I already knew but somehow was ignoring and doing “lazy keto” for the last few months by only eating Keto Friendly food but not really tracking food […]

Several months ago I got a letter from my health insurance company telling me that they thought I should start taking statins. Number A) That’s crazy! Number B) No freaking way am I taking statins, given what I know about their side effects. Number C) Are we looking at the same results? Because the ones […]

The results from the 2016 Eaters Survey are in. I’m not a stats guy, can’t even hope to work R but I can poke around a bit with Excel and a few other tools. One question I had was “given the gender disparity in the 2015 survey, would the ketogenic versions change the results? Would […]

Weight change for the 100 days: 209.9 lbs to 205.4 lbs. That’s not really stellar progress but compared to gaining I suppose I’ll take it. I also didn’t “cheat” once; meaning I didn’t ever deliberately eat foods containing sugar, starch or other carbohydrates – but that wasn’t a surprise, aside from “robins eggs” that are still […]

Weight: 208.0 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L So I’m stuck in a up and down cycle – it’s entirely what I’ve been eating and has a simple explanation, despite that I’ve decided it serves as good experience. I’ll call it “gives me a better understanding of what others are going through” yeah – that’s it. I’ll […]

Weight: 206.6 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L Weight: 205.5 Blood ketones: dunno Weight: 207.5 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Saturday was a busy day with loads of physical activity in the yard with the kids, followed by everyone but me getting a slurpee (had some diet rootbeer). Then we hit the park and played there until the rain came and sent us […]

Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Had an awesome time at the IFT Food Suppliers trade show yesterday. Met some great people and might have found some new suppliers for ingredients. It was funny to see some of the places I’m getting some of my current ingredients from too. I happened upon one supplier that […]
