Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L My wife wanted to go to dinner with friends before we went to the “Home and Garden show” so we went to Texas Roadhouse. With my still very painful if I chew hard] jaw I got the grilled chicken salad without the croutons. I think I would have been OK […]

Weight: 205.2 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Not sure why my ketones are down today. I did really well yesterday. The only hiccup was I didn’t have any Keto Chow ready for dinner time which was OK since my wife had gotten me a bunless burger from Five Guys (with the free extra bacon and extra cheese, […]

Weight: 206.1 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L The kids apparently were too concerned with playing and didn’t eat enough dinner, so they split up my wife’s Keto Chow she had brought in the car. I drank mine before we left, she had to get a replacement when we got home. Share

Weight: 204.7 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Now that’s what I’m talking about: whoosh! Back down to where I was on Friday. Further giving credence to the notion that it was all water weight and likely the result of inadvertent carbohydrate consumption. Going to keep this trend going. The FexEx boxes came yesterday so I’ve re-enabled that as […]

Weight: 207.1 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L There was a party over at my sister’s house last night. We brought pastries, smoked salmon, veggies and a bunch of cheese. I did this because my mom, my dad, my brother, my wife and I are all doing keto and it’s nice to have something to snack on. I’ve […]

Weight: 206.6 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L Weight: 207.3 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Um, that’s the wrong way. +2.7lbs since Friday? You’d almost think I got too many hidden carbs on Saturday. (This is likely exactly what happened, went to dinner with my parents and I’m guessing the “sugar free jello” at the buffet wasn’t low carb… […]

There’s an interesting reddit thread over on /r/keto about a NPR article that talks about the potential of keto for cancer treatment. The basic premise is: cancer cells aren’t doing what they are supposed to do, particularly metabolically. If you deprive them of readily available glucose they don’t grow/shrink. More research is needed but it’s […]

Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Did a really good job at not chewing anything all day yesterday… until I made jalapeno  poppers wrapped in bacon for my wife – I ate a couple of those. Bad idea, my jaw hurts again now =( We finished up a marathon session mixing last night, We’re almost completely out […]

Weight: 204.6 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Again with the running! I went to my dentist yesterday to see if the pain in my jaw was tooth related, got a panoramic x-ray and everything looks good. Based on my description and the way my jaw was closing, the dentist posits that I hurt the “disc” in my jaw […]

Weight: 204.9 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Ran again last night, there was a comment yesterday about my routine. Feel free to try what I do. Looks like I’m doing a 4 minute warm up, then 5 rounds of 2 minutes running+2 minutes walking, followed by a final 2 minutes of running with a sprint and then […]

Weight: 204.5 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Not much to report today, drank 3 keto chows yesterday (Peanut Butter & Cookies and Cream). My weight is still coming down nicely. I was able to run last night, I’m doing the slightly more intense workout now: running for 2 minutes then walking for 2 (last week was run 1 […]

Weight: 205.1 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L I like finding reviews of my stuff around teh Intrawebs. This morning I was looking through my server logs and found Hey Keto Mama’s review of Keto Chow. I also found her recipe for a Keto Chow “Shamrock Shake” (which is the photo for today’s post) – seriously, go read the […]

Weight: 204.8 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 204.1 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 205.7 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L This weekend went great, mixed a bunch of Keto Chow powder and completely filled up all my recycle bins with Dymatize 5lb tubs. The picture is after I was already half done crushing the ones from Saturday. […]

Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Weight stayed the same, I’ll take it. I totally called it with the food yesterday, lunch was a bunch of food trucks. While I’m sure it was yummy, everything either had a sugar glaze or whatever. The only ray of light was breakfast there was a giant bowl of bacon […]

Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.8 mmol/L Weight is still going down and my ketones are getting up into happy territory. At the weigh in yesterday I was down 5 lbs compared to the week before. This wasn’t hard since I was up 4 last week. Today I’m going to be at Snow Force – I’m guessing there […]

Weight: 205.3 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L Still down compared to last week, sticking to (almost) 100% Keto Chow is working well. I have another weigh-in for the city weight loss challenge today. It shouldn’t be hard for me to be lower than last week since that was +4 lbs compared to the prior week. Even though […]
