Why I make Keto Chow
I want to help people change their lives… and help them not go nuts in the process. Nutritional Ketosis (aka “Keto” or “Ketogenic Diet”) can be highly effective but it’s daunting, especially for beginners. Keto is the only thing I have ever tried that has had any lasting effect on my health and my weight.…

Random Photos and Fun (plus an update on KC2.0)
We went camping over the weekend. As usual, we ate a lot of bacon, sausage, and eggs (with hash browns for the kids, who aren’t doing keto). We were at Willard Bay, a freshwater reservoir that was built adjacent to the Great Salt Lake by erecting a dike – essentially a dam around the entire…

Keeping the kids alive until Mom gets home
This week my wife and 3 of our kids are at a girl’s camp, so I’m working from home so there’s somebody here in case something explodes… or somebody looks at the 6 year old wrong and the world ends. Last night I was buying food for my wife to take (camping while doing keto…

Keto Chow 1.5… ice cream?
The overwhelming consensus of Keto Chow 1.5 is tastes like melted ice cream I agree and decided to see what would happen if I tried making it back into ice cream. So I mixed up 6 meals worth of Cookies&Cream and put it into (one of) my ice cream makers. One of my daughters did…

Keto Chow 1.5
TL;DR: swapped psyllium husk for acacia gum, added more xanthan gum resulting in better texture and improved bowel… stuff. It’s been some time since there was a major formulation change in Keto Chow, it’s been stable for over a year. As part of the progress towards Keto Chow 2.0 I’ve updated the recipe. On paper…

Day 044 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)
Weight: 207.8 Blood ketones: <0.1 mmol/L I was reminded that I need to get running again – with the conference and crazy hours I had completely stopped. I’ll try to get that going again, should help. Water weight is going down again (or so it seems). The scale I was using to weigh out 300g…

Keto Chow in paradise
My parents visited Hawaii and my dad sent me some info on his experience. Bright, sunny Hawaii is a radical departure from his recent photographic work (photos of nightscapes – check out http://intothenightphoto.blogspot.com/ in several of his shots I’m the guy turning on the light to paint the scenes). He seems to really like measuring out 50g into bags ahead…

“Golden Oldies: Impressions and comments on the keto chow solution for Senior citizens.”
I have another user experience to share (with permission): Gender: Woman Age: 66 Length of time on keto chow: 4 weeks. Results: very positive. A favorite blouse fits so much better than it did a month ago, just before starting Keto Chow. I tried the Atkins diet several years ago and was moderately successful. Losing…

Dymatize Protein and availability woes
The photo is about half of the Peanut Butter packages we mixed last night, waiting to be sealed. I decided it looked kinda cool so I took a picture, they last longer. Something that I’ve been concerned about lately is the availability of the various flavors of Dymatize (which is a central component of Keto…
