On Wednesday, I have my initial weigh in for a local weight loss contest. It’s based on % of body weight lost. In the past the winners have lost anywhere from 15 to 21%. I figure that no one else doing it is going to be starting out without glycogen in their system so I’ve […]

A question came up about how well powdered cream could be used for Keto Chow instead of the liquid heavy cream. Let’s take a look. The Amazon Page doesn’t show any nutrition information and I couldn’t get a response from the manufacturer… so logically I bought some. Here’s the nutrition information. Pay attention to the […]

Hey, how about a “year in review” post? I started mixing soylent almost a year ago, starting January 13, 2014. You can read my full exploits Here (in chronological order!). It’s been an interesting year with a lot of downs and a few ups (most notably there in October when I gained back everything I […]

A commenter on my last post asked if it’s possible to mix up without any coconut flour at all. Yes but you have to increase the psyllium husk to 18g. I wasn’t sure what that would taste like but I was interested to try it. Unfortunately my shipment of Chocolate Mint, Strawberry and Vanilla proteins will […]

I’ve long maintained that participating in this community and also working along with the community is really nice. Overall (and in most instances specifically) everyone is super agreeable. When enough people asked that I decided to I start mixing people chow for people one of my major concerns was dealing with jerks. To date I […]

While it’s not as fun as “Fun with Flags” here are some fun graphs. Here’s my weight since I started doing keto. High spot is 257.8, this morning I was 238.0 (Thursday I was 235 but I ate a LOT of shrimp and prime rib on Friday): I got myself and my wife each a Jarv Premium […]

I started doing keto food using Anthony’s USDA Organic Coconut Flour (5 lb), because the cost was better. I actually went through two of them before starting on my new Nutiva Organic Flour, Coconut, 25 Pound that I didn’t get from Amazon, I got it from these guys. Wow, what a difference! The Anthony’s is […]

Following a question on reddit I went through the nutrient info for just about all of the ingredients and made sure the info was as accurate as I could get. The recipe has 92.3g of total carbs with 62.2g of insoluble fiber, 10.8g of soluble fiber. Including the soluble fiber in the equation, that gives […]

OK, it’s morning and I’m drinking down Ketosoy. Here are my impressions. I was wrong, it appears the chia seeds are not ground. Personally I don’t particularly like the taste of ground chia seeds due to my experience with the “induction phase” recipe. Anyhow, not being ground (or at least not ground very much) the […]

In what would appear to be a resounding conflict of interest, I’m going to do a review on ketosoy. Hey, he was nice enough to send it to me (thanks!) I figure and honest, objective review is in order. So let’s get going! So I got a day’s worth, it came in a standard USPS […]

I have this written up in text for on my Ketofood Preparation page, but I wanted to do a video showing the process. There’s a different video of measuring and mixing the dry ingredients. As a follow-up, here is what it looks like the next morning after everything separates. Note that the oil didn’t separate, […]

I usually grab the free shaker bottle every time I do an order, the most recent one is a new design. The plastic is more clear and the lid is angular with a different spout and a loop. The plastic feels more sturdy too. Here are Tuesday’s meals, all mixed up and ready for the […]

I read a really interesting paper that gave some background on Inuit hunters and keto diets. One very interesting thing that stuck out near the end was the length of time required to adapt to ketosis and its effect on exercise. The paper pegs the time needed to adapt to 2-3 or even 3-4 weeks. […]

I ate some carbs I shouldn’t have when I went out to dinner with the family. However, did that stop my keto progress? Ok, so this is fairly obvious, talking about a ketogenic diet where you have to keep all carbohydrates below 30g/day, but you should not decide “hey, I’ve had a good 2 1/2 […]

After my post about using a pump to measure oil some people on the reddit thread were wondering why use a pump instead of a measuring cup or even a turkey baster. It hadn’t even occured to me that people would wonder about this! Since I’m mixing up a meal of people chow 4 times […]
