  • Day 095 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Day 095 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Had an awesome time at the IFT Food Suppliers trade show yesterday. Met some great people and might have found some new suppliers for ingredients. It was funny to see some of the places I’m getting some of my current ingredients from too. I happened upon one supplier that…

  • Day 094 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 204.8 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Yesterday I only did two keto chow shakes – we got a new waffle maker and my wife made keto waffles, figured we might as well go all-in on “breakfast for dinner” so I cooked a bunch of bacon and sausage. Also yesterday I got some preliminary figures for…

  • Dymatize Protein and availability woes

    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…

  • Couple of changes to the recipe for Keto Chow in testing

    I finally got around to grinding up the multi-vitamin into a powder and seeing if it affected the taste of Keto Chow – it doesn’t. As soon as I can switch over my production pipeline I’m going to start incorporating it into the mix. There will likely be a transition period for a few weeks…

  • Coconut Cream as a possible substitute for heavy cream in Keto Chow

    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…

  • Bodybuilding.com vs. AllStarHealth.com – protein price comparison

    I like ordering from BodyBuilding.com because they get stuff to me the next day. I started using Allstarhealth.com for Psyllium Husk powder and the Cal/Mag/D3 powder but I wanted to see how the price compares between Bodybuildng and AllstarHealth; who ships from California to Utah in 2 days (still pretty good). I put together a…

  • Going to try mixing PB2 into the powder tonight, Calcium Phosphate changes

    I cloned my Keto Chow Recipe and added PB2 to it so I could get actual numbers instead of hoping I was good with a calculator. I also put the specific nutrition info for the Rich Chocolate flavored protein powder since the different flavors have slightly different values. What I came up with looks really good.…

  • Keto Photo Friday: 4 months, 37 lbs – got a long way to go still =)

    Keto Photo Friday: 4 months, 37 lbs – got a long way to go still =)

    I posted this to /r/keto last week, decided it might be nice to have it here too. I started “Obese” (>30 BMI) now I’m just “Overweight”. First time posting progress pics. I was going to wait longer but I was just at a conference where they were doing headshots. I had a similar one taken right before…

  • Powdered Cream not suitable for Keto soylent

    I guess I’m supposed to do clickbait titles if I want more traffic, but I prefer to get the conclusion out there and then back it up in the body. A question came up about how well powdered cream could be used for Keto Chow instead of the liquid heavy cream. The Amazon Page doesn’t show…

  • New ketogenic soylent recipe in development, it’s moar betterer

    Several weeks ago /u/kennufs posted his current Ketogenic soylent recipe. I ordered some of the ingredients and gave it a try recently. It’s so superior to KetoFood it’s kinda silly, probably because it doesn’t have chia seeds and does use a generous amount of heavy cream. I did that recipe for about a week and a…
