  • Why I make Keto Chow

    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)

    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…

  • Staying keto at Disneyland

    Staying keto at Disneyland

    Phineas and Ferb taught me to be careful about what I post online (they carved it into a meteor or something so it was really important) so I usually don’t post anything about going on vacation until after I get back. I’m back. We finally took our kids to Disneyland. Some of the stuff was too…

  • A Keto Vacation

    A Keto Vacation

    Got back yesterday from vacation at Bear lake (because we’re the BAIR’s! get it?! …sorry, “dad” joke) My parents came along which made meals interesting – 4 adults eating (mostly) keto and 6 kids eating regular food. We only cooked 5lbs of the bacon we brought but we did power through an awful lot of…

  • Weight Lifting Update – time to play critique my form

    Yesterday I was lifting alone (normally my wife also lifts but she had something to do and wouldn’t be home until late) so I decided to record some of my lifts. We’re prepping a room in the basement for some remodeling, hence the random dressers and boxes all over. I filmed the first and last…

  • Stronglifts5x5 update, random stuff

    My Dad made the news last night. Funny thing is I was in a bunch of the photos shown…. though you can’t see me because I’m hiding behind rocks holding lights =) Glorified light stand and pack mule I am. So I guess I made the news too =) I had the day off yesterday so…

  • Power Rack arrived this morning

    Power Rack arrived this morning

    FedEx brought the power rack this morning. We got it assembled, and ready for today’s workout. Now I just need to visit Cal-Ranch or Tractor Supply and get some horse stall mats for the floor.

  • Testing with acacia gum progressing well, thinking about starting lifting

    Testing with acacia gum progressing well, thinking about starting lifting

    So my test of Keto Chow with Acacia gum instead of Psyllium Husk powder seems to be going pretty well. Acacia gum doesn’t thicken like psyllium does so I’m having to use a thickening agent too, MOAR fiber I guess. It’s smoother that the psyllium, like really smooth with almost no texture at all except…

  • Day 100 – 100 days of Keto (Chow) retrospective plus a rant about skinny weight loss coaches

    Day 100 – 100 days of Keto (Chow) retrospective plus a rant about skinny weight loss coaches

    Weight change for the 100 days: 209.9 lbs to 205.4 lbs. That’s not really stellar progress but compared to gaining I suppose I’ll take it. I also didn’t “cheat” once; meaning I didn’t ever deliberately eat foods containing sugar, starch or other carbohydrates – but that wasn’t a surprise, aside from “robins eggs” that are still…
