So first the good news: The roll out of Keto Chow 1.5 is nearly complete. Rather than list what is updated to 1.5, I’ll just list what isn’t. Weeks Chocolate Fudge Samples Banana and Butter Cream Toffee (as they’re discontinued but I still have some) Chocolate Mint Snickerdoodle Vanilla Cookies & Cream Days None. They’re […]

We got our second round of flavors for Keto Chow 2.0 yesterday. I talked to a different co-packer who had super awesome pricing. However, their minimum order quantities were astronomical. Going off the last 3 months of sales we would be ordering a year’s worth of Rich Chocolate at the low end and 2 years […]

Since posting about it last week the most frequent question I’ve gotten is “what flavors have switched over to 1.5 already?” Well, that depends on the size you’re talking about =) We have a large supply of samples that were made before the switch in all flavors but two that are still available – those […]

TL;DR: swapped psyllium husk for acacia gum, added more xanthan gum resulting in better texture and improved bowel… stuff. It’s been some time since there was a major formulation change in Keto Chow, it’s been stable for over a year. As part of the progress towards Keto Chow 2.0 I’ve updated the recipe. On paper […]

Been having fun with the site lately. And by “fun” I mean it’s been wonky since Sunday when the two web/database servers were getting hammered hard. Load average was up around 50+. I’m hopeful that it’s settled down now. Most recently I got a fun error with SQL where people couldn’t place new orders, got […]

My wife reminded me I need to post something about the state of the flavors of Keto Chow. The ones I can get have diminished significantly in the last while. Piña Colada: discontinued Smooth Banana: discontinued Butter Cream Toffee: discontinued Cinnamon Bun: discontinued Mint Chocolate: not certain, most of my suppliers have removed it from their […]

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 […]

Weight: 206.0 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L More Vanilla for breakfast, lunch and dinner today, that’s all pretty unremarkable. The fun part for today is I just launched a new home page. Hopefully this should give people more information in a nicer format. Let me know what you think!

Weight: 205.3 Blood ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Yesterday evening I spent some time discussing the possible packaging for “Keto Chow 2.0” with my wife. The company I’ll likely be using can package into “Stick Pack” and tubs/bottles, they aren’t able to handle the stand-up pouches I’m currently using (“yet”) so it’s likely I’ll be using tubs for bulk size […]

Weight: 205.5 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Probably going to I.F. (Intermittent Fasting) until this afternoon, – we’ll see if I get hungry or not. The revised formulation of my custom vitamin mix is ordered. It was ordered with magnesium citrate instead of chloride to see if that removes the metallic aftertaste, hopefully it gets here soon! […]

For those that didn’t know: I’m working towards significantly scaling up my operation. Like full-on industrial manufacturing using a co-packer. Today I finally got pricing for a vitamin/mineral pre-mix. There are a bunch of reasons for this but to name a few: Everything in every room in my house has Keto Chow powder on it. […]

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 https://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 […]

A couple days ago somebody suggested that I create the /r/ketochow subreddit. Sounded like a good idea, so I did it. The community is pretty small still but larger than I thought it would be since I hadn’t linked it anywhere yet. So without further ado: https://www.reddit.com/r/ketochow/ Also I re-shot a video of mixing a batch […]

There’s a subreddit called /r/subredditsimulator where automated reddit robots can go around and “play”, generating random posts based on probability. Regular users can’t even post there. Yesterday I hit the big time because /u/keto_ss decided to tag me in a post I am a bit more willpower than average, so when I ordered the sampler, /u/chrisbair […]

Couch Potatoes (who made the “Fat bomb Cheesecake” recipe I did for thanksgiving) just did a video review of Keto Chow. They pronounced it “Definitely not bad” – which is about the same endorsement I got from an 11 year old. In other news, I’m planning on trying the “Keto Chow pancakes” recipe another user posted […]

We are hosting thanksgiving for my family this year and yesterday we hosted my wife’s family for pre-thanksgiving. It was a great opportunity to test recipes. All turned out fantastic so I thought I would share. There will be 5 of us doing keto so we wanted some awesome food. On a side note: I […]
