I did my own test a while ago on the effects of Keto Chow on my own blood sugar levels, though a customer (Hi Nick!) sent me an email today. He looked this post over before I published it. I am diabetic, and I’ve been taking daily measurements of blood glucose.  The first week, my […]

An interesting thread on Reddit talks about the glycemic load of the official Rosa Labs Soylent 1.5 and how it has twice the glycemic load as Coca Cola. It got me thinking: I wonder what the glycemic index of Keto Chow would be. I already know that it has virtually no detectable impact on blood […]

We got home from our vacation Saturday evening (the kids didn’t even notice it was “free Slurpee day”). We had a few hours after unpacking to get orders out. The week before we left I built up inventory in anticipation of a lot of orders and that’s what I came back to =). I didn’t […]

Same guy who did that excellent review of Keto Chow posted another (hilarious yet informative) write up about how he mixes up Keto Chow: https://www.insignificant.info/blog-native/2015/6/29/ketochow-prep-accessories It’s a good read, make sure you don’t miss the footnotes. Share

This morning the scale hit under 200 for the first time since… well, probably 1998. For kicks I tried to take a picture but the scale was acting up and gave me numbers higher than 200. I’m going to live in denial and accept the first pronouncement. And hows about a photo? On the left […]

So I tried using Coconut Cream in my Keto Chow instead of Heavy Cream. It works but it wasn’t very pleasant. Since many people do Keto Chow at a higher calorie amount (2000 calories a day instead of 1300) I decided I would try using enough coconut cream to hit 2358 calories/day to see if it’s […]

Every few days I check my web stats and see where people are coming from. Got a fun surprise today: https://www.insignificant.info/blog-native/2015/6/24/ketochow-diet Includes quite entertaining commentary (make sure you click the numbered notations, I missed them the first time, they’re really funny), along with a super official “Appendix” where he ranks the different flavors. Personally I think […]

For kicks last night I mixed up some Keto Chow in one of the smaller blender bottles that I got a loooong time ago. Turns out they work just fine for Keto Chow with the only “issue” that you end up with a noticeably thicker mixture, which isn’t really a bad thing. I’m going to […]

Yesterday marked 8 months doing ketogenic “soylent”, and the day before that was my 20 year High School reunion. At the reunion I kept getting “wow, you look exactly the same!” probably because the organizers made us name tags that had our Senior portraits on them. If I remember correctly I was about 200 when I started […]

A comment on another post asked about the feasibility of using coconut cream for Keto Chow. It just might work. I looked into “Trader Joe’s Coconut Cream”: I calculated for 250ml of this Coconut Cream for a target kCal/day of 1300 (same as 50ml of heavy cream. It ups the NET carbs from 12g to […]

I changed the Keto Chow labels to include a 3 columns: no cream/oil, 50ml of heavy cream, and for 119ml of heavy cream, representing approximately 454, 1300 and 2000 calories/day (3 meals) respectively. Here are the new labels, you can expect to see them appearing on packages probably around the time I get back from […]

On on /r/keto /u/rhoymand has done a series on testing his blood sugar response to various foods (here is one on a Quest Bar). I’ve been curious what effect Keto Chow has on blood so I got a glucose meter (cheap as free!) and some test strips (holy cow, these are expensive!). Today I did a […]

Did an interview with Maggie Zhang a short time ago, she published the article today. It’s called: How Soylent’s Meal-Replacement Competitors Got A Not-So-Bland Taste Of Success. It’s a good read. In other related news, the guy in the cube next to me who is mixing his own Keto Chow is now down 33lbs since […]

… due to me trying to drill a hole in my leg. I was drilling a hole in a trailer hitch and the drill bit broke. The drill with half a bit flew out of my hands and punctured my leg. Got two stitches and a tetanus shot. Share

Found this today via random chance. It’s an article that appeared in Reader’s Digest. It was following the release of Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It – which was a condensed version of Good Calories, Bad Calories. So if you want a really quick summary, from the Author himself, here you go: […]
