Looks like it’s time for an update since I’ll be completing 6 months of Keto in 3 days. Dunno if I’ll reach 50 lbs, I’m at 48.3 pounds lost since I started. I’ve lost 2 shirt sizes (XXL to L), gone from size 38 pants to… I need to buy new ones and they’ll probably […]

My wife and I just finished a 12 week weight loss challenge our city puts on. Just before it started I “leveled the playing field” by eating carbs for a few days which had the “desired” effect of making we gain a whole lot of (mostly water) weight that took about a week to keto […]

I like ordering from BodyBuilding.com because they get stuff to me the next day. I started using Allstarhealth.com for Psyllium Husk powder and the Cal/Mag/D3 powder but I wanted to see how the price compares between Bodybuildng and AllstarHealth; who ships from California to Utah in 2 days (still pretty good). I put together a […]

My mom (who apparently dresses me funny, thanks for noticing) bought me this suit back in 1998 after I moved back to the states from Chile. I’ve been down to below my “got married” weight for a while so I decided to try it on for kicks. Yeah, it fits! This is the equivalent of […]

Finally got the time to make a better video showing how to mix up 3 meals of Keto Chow for a day. We refinished the counter about a month ago, it’s less yellow-green now. Share

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. […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
