Somebody asked me about the recipe that I’m using for ketosis. It’s the same as QuidNYCs for ongoing ketosis but with Canola oil instead of Olive. This is mostly because I have issues with the smell/flavor of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. T Along with that, yesterday I recorded a video of me mixing up a […]

I read a really interesting paper that gave some background on Inuit hunters and keto diets. One very interesting thing that stuck out near the end was the length of time required to adapt to ketosis and its effect on exercise. The paper pegs the time needed to adapt to 2-3 or even 3-4 weeks. […]

So first off I’d like to change my description of a Ketogenic diet. I have been referring to it as “The Nuclear Option” since it’s sort of a last-ditch final effort to lose weight. Over on a reddit thread there was a great write up about how when you force your body into ketosis, you are […]

I ate some carbs I shouldn’t have when I went out to dinner with the family. However, did that stop my keto progress? Ok, so this is fairly obvious, talking about a ketogenic diet where you have to keep all carbohydrates below 30g/day, but you should not decide “hey, I’ve had a good 2 1/2 […]

Something that’s been bugging me is how slow my own site (right here) got after I upgraded WooCommerce to 2.2. It got excruciatingly slow and it was super frustrating to me and (I suspect) to people coming here. I did a major upgrade of the server infrastructure yesterday and the site is now running extremely […]

Preparing keto food can be an expensive, tedious process, so I wrote out some tips in this article. So I’m doing ketogenic D.I.Y. soylent right now (the “nuclear option” for losing weight, as I like to call it). There’s info about ketosis in a previous post and info about how bad the “induction phase” recipe […]

Well, I’ve been doing keto for 2 weeks now, sounds like time to write down my experience so far. I looked at various recipes and QuidNYC Ketofood seemed to be the most popular, was fairly simple, and didn’t sound horrible. I noticed that there was an “Induction Phase” variant with mostly the same ingredients and […]

So yesterday I posted about starting Ketogenic soylent, I thought I’d take a little time to explain what that is and what’s going on. DISCLAIMER: This post will contain some generalizations to simplify things, if you want to do real actual research you’ll want more specifics elsewhere. The cells in your body like glucose. A […]

I started consuming People Chow back in January 2014 for a variety of reasons, but primarily to lose weight. Now I’m looking into keto. Initially, People Chow did an excellent job of doing just that with around 14 pounds going away over about a month. The main reason for the loss was I was exceptionally […]

While I was gone, I got a question about adding Bitcoin as a payment option. So that’s now an option along with Paypal. I’m back from the Dreamforce conference! It was a week of soylent-fueled learning stuff (there might have also been a few concerts and parties that I may or may not have gone […]

I’m going to be in San Francisco from October 11 to the 17th for Dreamforce. I plan to ship out all current orders on Friday the 10th before I leave. I will ship any new ones that come in on Saturday the 18th when I get back. There are a few people with active weekly subscriptions […]

Beginning today, all of the mixed People Chow I’m sending out will have 4g of Xanthan Gum per week. I’ve been testing it in my own batches and there’s a marked improvement in the texture of the final product. I was going to wait on this for a bit longer but on Monday I shipped […]

This week I’m down in Arches National Park helping my dad do a nighttime photography workshop. Mostly my job consists of running around and setting up lights and carrying stuff (though I did press the shutter for him a few times when he was light painting, I joke that I’m going to claim copyright on […]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be shipping any orders next week. I’m planning on shipping out everything that comes in before noon on Saturday, September 13th and won’t be doing another round of shipments until Saturday September 20th. I’ll be helping my dad with https://www.meetup.com/NightScape-Photography/events/154916402/ I get to be the pack mule […]

After my post about using a pump to measure oil some people on the reddit thread were wondering why use a pump instead of a measuring cup or even a turkey baster. It hadn’t even occured to me that people would wonder about this! Since I’m mixing up a meal of people chow 4 times […]

There’s a really well produced news story about Soylent and soylent (DIY). You can find it at https://www.sbs.com.au/thefeed/blog/2014/08/12/soylent-meal-replacement – might be an easy way to tell people what the whole soylent thing is about (sourced from Reddit). Share
