    Sous Vide Update: Yeah, it is yummy.

    Completely unrelated to Keto Chow but still quite relevant to ketogenic diets. The chuck roasts I had cooking for 44 hours with my Sous Video “Precision Cooker” finished cooking (like yesterday but whatever, I was going for awesome overkill). Turned out awesome. On an unrelated note, I’m claiming a personal victory: none of my kids…

  • Awesome article over at Art Of Manliness: Everything You Know About Cholesterol Is Wrong

    This was published yesterday, it’s a really good read and does a great job distilling down how messed up the “Generally Accepted Dietary Wisdom” is on Cholesterol: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2015/08/25/everything-you-know-about-cholesterol-is-wrong/ Some of the things he wrote lead me to believe he’s at minimum aware of ketogenic diets and maybe even doing keto/paleo.

    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…
