Saw this on XKCD, mouse-over says “The key is portion control, which is why I’ve switched to eating smaller cans of frosting instead of full bottles.” See also https://xkcd.com/1035/

To recap for those who don’t live and breathe this stuff: I’m in the final stages of having Keto Chow produced at a contract manufacturer. Keto Chow 2.0 differs from Keto Chow 1.9 on the protein/flavor/sweetener – I’m not able to get Dymatize Elite in 500KG batches so by necessity we have to get our own […]

Excellent documentary about a super skinny guy that was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. Does a great job at simply explaining many of the key points of a high fat, low carb diet. Here’s their “press release” description from their website: It’s a classic image. An athlete bingeing on massive amounts of carbs before a race. […]

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 […]

To start off, I was listening to Episode 49 of the “2 Keto Dudes” podcast and they shared the content of a really good post. You can find the content on their Ketogenic Forums: “It’s Easy… Until It’s Not… And then it’s Easy Again.” If you’re starting out with Keto and the initial drive is […]

Yesterday we picked up the large “week” bags from the printer and delivered them to the manufacturing facility. At this point, there’s very little left to do. They still need to do some quality control tests of the full recipe stack to make sure it tastes the way it should. I need to sample the […]

On January 13, 2014 I did the first post on my blog about trying nutritionally complete “future foods”. It corresponds to my first submission on Reddit. (My reddit “cake day” is January 9, 2014 BTW.) The Image up top is of my very first batch of powdered food, People Chow 2.3.0 at the time (I […]

TL;DR version Add 79ml (or 1/3 cup) of heavy cream to a shaker/blender bottle for 433 calories (1300 a day); or use 148ml for 667 calories (2000 a day). Add 50g of the Keto Chow powder, then fill the bottle to 16 ounces with water. Shake it up until all the powder is wet. Stick […]

I have two health-related resolutions this year: Strength training 3x a week (StrongLifts 5×5). I’m not eating anything until it’s ALREADY logged into Cron-O-Meter. So far, so good, on StrongLifts 5×5. I did it 3x last week (which is the recommendation for the program): Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday because Friday was a crazy evening. I […]

I’m happy (my wife is even happier!) to announce that we now have 10 colors of Keto Chow branded 28 oz. Blender Bottles in stock and available. These are the actual, genuine, Blender Bottles – not cheap knock offs. This comes after about 2 weeks of delays due to holidays and snowstorms. They all look pretty […]

One of my main New Year resolutions is not to eat anything until AFTER I have it entered into a tracking app. In the past I’ve used MyFitnessPal (hereafter referred to as MFP) – it works fine, has pretty good social sharing so friends can see what you want them to see; and they have […]

I started working on my taxes yesterday… Among other things, I got a final amount for some of the business expenses for 2016. $2,825 for janitorial services, $4060 for various utilities (our gas company makes you pre-pay $1000 when you start an account), and $114,518.83 in Postage and Delivery. If we don’t get a dedicated […]

We use ShipStation to manage our shipment. It works well and helps us get orders out with a lot a good information going automatically to customers. It also compiles statistics about the orders that we’re shipping. We can see cool trends, customer breakdowns and even how quickly we ship (18% the same day, 62% the […]

We finally got our custom packaged fish pills in! We were down to a single bag of the Costco ones so it was perfect timing. The new pills come in a Keto Chow labeled bottle and have better nutrition numbers for DHA and EPA Omega 3s. You can still buy fish pills from another source […]

We’re now expecting Keto Chow 2.0 in the first half of January 2017. It’s a bit of a setback but we’re going to take advantage of it. We found out that the flavor manufacturer didn’t actually start production 2 weeks ago when we told them to. It’s going to be a solid 4 weeks before the […]

The Cyber Monday sale is still going on for a few more hours but we finally finished shipping today’s orders so I figured I would give an update. We shipped both “Black Friday” and “Small Businesss Saturday”and then took a “Leave me alone it’s Sunday” break. Despite shipping Friday and Saturday, we still hit a […]
