It might seem like keto came onto the scene from out of nowhere in the last few years, as if it materialized out of thin air. But keto has an interesting history and it’s important to know about it if you want to feel confident that eating this way is safe and effective when naysayers […]

“Losing weight” is one of the most common goals that often brings people to keto. But with so much emphasis placed on that, it can be easy to lose sight of the many other reasons that someone may choose to eat this way. Let’s go back to basics here and talk about what keto is […]

So, you’re on the keto bandwagon, having a great time and feeling good (and enjoying some Keto Chow along the way, right?), and now you’re ready to branch out and try some new recipes so you can level up your keto cooking game.  Here are some of the best keto cookbooks, websites, and resources to […]

Few things are more controversial than cholesterol on a ketogenic diet. Not the cholesterol in your food—most people understand it’s fine to eat egg yolks, bacon, and butter—but the cholesterol in your blood. Should you be worried if your blood cholesterol level goes up on a keto diet? What if it goes up a lot? […]

The really short version is: “keto” (or a well-formulated ketogenic diet/lifestyle) is quite literally any way of eating that allows your body to produce a form of energy known as ketones (hence the term “ketogenic”). It’s measurable by your metabolic response and is, therefore, a pretty clearly definable thing (though that doesn’t stop people from […]

Hey, Miriam here. (For those that are new here, I’m the co-founder and COO of Keto Chow.) This Mother’s Day, I wanted to share a little bit about my keto journey and how Keto Chow has helped me as a mom. I hope hearing my story helps you embrace and understand your own.  Lots of […]

This post goes along with the recent “Password Security” post: it has absolutely nothing to do with Keto Chow but is something that has come up multiple times on our live streams and people have asked for a written version so they can “play along at home!” I’m going to tell you how Miriam and […]

Many people feel they must give up fruit when they start a keto way of life. While fruit may not fit in everyone’s keto plan, it can be included in most, when it’s done right. (So the good news is you can still enjoy the fun, refreshing flavor, fiber, and antioxidants found in fruit.) Here […]

Continuing our (almost) yearly tradition of introducing a brand new product in (very) early April, we are happy to announce one of our most requested flavors ever: Peanut Butter and Jelly! If you’re a particular fan of that amazing combination of somewhat grape-flavored medicine with some peanuts; and don’t want to bother with mixing together […]

It’s no secret by now that keto diets are great for weight loss, reversing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and improving a long list of other conditions. They can help banish brain fog, address high blood pressure, and even get rid of acid reflux. But considering how much carbohydrate the average person eats, it’s […]

You likely won’t spend much time in online keto spaces before hearing talk of the dreaded keto flu, with fellow keto-ers commiserating together, recommending pickle juice and maybe sharing GIFs in solidarity. But what is the keto flu, and more importantly, how can you avoid it? What is the keto flu? Simply put, the “keto […]

This is a bit of a weird subject and post here on the Keto Chow blog, but the subject comes up frequently enough during our live streams that I decided it would be wise to put together something written to refer people over to when it comes up next time =) There are a few […]

Can you have coffee on keto? There is no one definitive answer to this because everyone is different. The best way to decide if drinking coffee is right for you is to track your own blood sugar levels and ketone levels when consuming caffeine and consult with your qualified health care provider.  Making the most […]

There are as many different ways to do ketogenic diets as there are people doing them. There’s strict keto, clean keto, lazy keto, a well-formulated ketogenic diet, and then, there’s dirty keto. No, dirty keto doesn’t mean eating your vegetables without washing them, or leaving your discarded eggshells on the kitchen counter for weeks at […]

If you know Keto Chow, you know that we are adamant about being open and honest with you and ensuring that we have only the best ingredients. To that end, we’ve been working on improving the formula of our flavors. A few months ago we started an effort to change out the type of oil […]

When you’re new to keto (and sometimes even when you’ve been around the keto block a few times!), it’s easy to assume that if something is labeled as gluten free (GF), it would also be low carb. It’s even easier to assume that something labeled keto or low carb would be gluten free. But this […]
