Weight: 209.4 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Did a good job at sticking to just Keto Chow, though I could have been better. My parents came home from Hawaii and brought some macadamia nuts for me. The can had 4.5 servings and it’s already mostly gone =). Today the plan is to do Intermittent Fasting (and […]

Weight: 208.7 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Weight: 207.5 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 209.4 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Busy weekend, had to mix and package enough product to last the next 8 days. Saturday I had a steak for lunch, that was yummy. I also made keto chow muffins 3x this weekend and I revised […]

Weight: 207.8 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Made some more muffins this morning. Again the kids finished them off. We watched the finale of “My Diet is Better Than Yours” – it was kinda surreal when the Paleo guy started explaining Intermittent Fasting. My kids actually knew what it was before he explained it.

Weight: 209.6 Blood ketones: 0.7 mmol/L At my weigh-in yesterday I was down 3 lbs from the previous week, not bad. Hopefully this next week will be even better. Somebody asked what I’m using to measure blood ketones. I’m using a Nova Max glucose/ketone meter with it’s incredibly expensive ($2 each) ketone testing strips. I […]

This came up today so I thought I’d post for everyone, the Fat Head documentary used to be on YouTube but was taken down. Now days you can find it on on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/127401963. If you haven’t seen Fat Head, it’s a rather good introduction to HFLC/Keto and explains some of the history behind the […]

Weight: 208.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Weight is still coming down and I had time to run on the treadmill last night. Going to try to do that again today. Today marks the end of week 1 of my city’s weight loss program (“Mission: Slim Possible”) so I’ll be doing my first weigh in for […]

Weight: 208.5 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Weight is coming back down, that’s good. My awesome wife helped make 12 meals of Keto Chow last night and picked Mint and the Chocolate Peanut Butter. It’s been really a long time since I last drank the Chocolate Mint. When I was first developing Keto Chow I was […]

My parents visited Hawaii and my dad sent me some info on his experience.  Keto Chow and traveling is an easy combination. I wondered if airport security would question the plastic bags of powder ,  but no one has seemed concerned. I pack 50 grams of Keto Chow per small snack bag.  I even went to Arizona in December with no […]

Weight: 209.0 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 209.4 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Messed up and had some “sugar free” candy – I put that in quotes because it has malitol which is only marginally better than sucrose. My weight is back up to what it was when I started 100 days of keto, so that’s […]

Weight: 207.9 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Fasting all day yesterday worked well. And the meat (bacon, bacon and more bacon) at Rodizio was yummy. The photo above was my salad before the meat even started coming around. About an hour after I got home I had a lull and decided I should run. I did […]

Weight: 207.9 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Today I have a doctor appointment, time for my 6-month recurring check-up. I have to get a blood test to check testosterone levels. So I’m going to go into it fasting and figure I might as well just continue fasting until dinner since I’m going with a bunch of friends […]

Weight: 208.3 Blood ketones: 1.0 mmol/L Weighed in for the city weight loss challenge – 210.4 with clothes on. Now I get to get rid of all the water weight I’ve accumulated over the last few days. For breakfast and lunch I have the orange jello+vanilla Keto Chow I made earlier this week, it’s all I […]

Weight: 207.6 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L I haven’t been overly concerned with how much weight I have lost thus far because today is weigh-in day for a weight loss contest my city does. So all the water weight I’ve gained recently because of eating lots of yummy salty meat will serve to make my initial […]

Weight: 207.9 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L A local Brazilian Grill had a “kids eat free” promo yesterday so we decided to take the kids. I ate a LOT of bacon (it’s Bacon Fest!) along with other meat. The meat had a lot of salt so water weight was way up again and the protein killed […]

Weight: 207.5 Blood ketones: 0.9 mmol/L Wow, that’s a LOT of water weight! (3.5lbs) Having food with a lot of salt will do that to you I guess. Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L There I go, back down =) Yesterday I made jello using keto chow and some sugar free jello. Put it in […]

Here is a followup experience to an earlier post about “Golden Oldies.” Caution is always advised when considering a new diet and I read all the studies, comments and concerns about [moderate] protein/low carb combinations.  I did not factor in my response to the protein powder because I did not realize my kidney function was diminished.  […]
