  • Day 012 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Day 012 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 204.7 Blood ketones: >0.1 mmol/L The plan was to do Keto Chow for 3 meals a day for 100 days though I decided I wasn’t going to kill myself or stress about it. Yesterday evening we went out to dinner at a Chinese Buffet. There was a Mongolian grill so I was able to find plenty…

  • Day 010 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 205.0 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L (04:50) Hey hey, I’m 10% done! The experiment with Intermittent Fasting seems to be a success, though I did have a headache when I woke up this morning – some of that could have been mild dehydration. Still I’m happy with the results.I didn’t do Intermittent Fasting today because…

  • Day 009 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Day 009 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 205.9 Blood ketones: 0.6 mmol/L (04:50)   Yesterday I tried Intermittent Fasting again. I’ve done it in the past but usually did regular keto food (half a pound of melted cheese and some bacon). With Keto Chow being a liquid, it complicates things. My approach was to skip breakfast, skip lunch and then drink 1…

  • Days 007 & 008 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Days 007 & 008 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Day 7 (Sunday) Weight: 206.9 Blood ketones: 0.8 mmol/L Day 8 (Monday) Weight: 206.4 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L   Uh-Oh, my ketone level is on a downward trend. I’m going to have to do better (I swiped quite a bit of the chicken we made the kids for dinner, probably jump started gluconeogenisis). Whatever, let’s focus on…

  • Day 006 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Day 006 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 206.6 Blood ketones: 1.3 mmol/L Woo Hoo! Blood ketones are almost to 1.5+ (1.5-3 is “optimal range” for nutritional ketosis). That’s great. Made Keto Chow pancakes for breakfast, they were quite yummy. We ran out of our silver bags that we use for the weeks of Keto Chow yesterday and had to use my “backup”…

  • Interview I did about Keto Chow and Ketosis

    I linked this in another post but didn’t want it to get lost in the shuffle, so it’s getting its own post! Check out the interview at http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/pellissier20160105 The interview was done via email, which was nice since it gave me time to think well about my answers and re-read them. My responses were largely completely…

  • Day 003 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 208.9 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Water weight is so fun, up and down daily. I’m not too concerned, my blood ketones are still going up. I ended up drinking three blender bottles of banana (keto chow) mixed with chocolate (keto chow) yesterday. Ran on the treadmill again and the heart rate monitor was still…

  • Day 002 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)

    Weight: 208.5 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Blood ketones are increasing and hey hey, I’ve only got 10lbs to go before I’m back down to what I was in September. I didn’t overtly eat anything carby Thanksgiving through New Years, I was actually pretty good during the holidays but I think too much sugar alcohols (specifically…

  • 100 days of Keto – starting January 4

    This was cross-posted to /r/keto earlier this week and I’ve decided I’m going to do it, mostly just for kicks (I haven’t done a “cheat day” since January 2015) but also to get losing weight more better-er. I’m planning on doing a post every day, both here and on /r/100DaysofKeto (in the daily post). Anybody want to…
