Keto Chow Base Powder (1 week)
In stock
Please note: this isn't the full mix and if you're getting the regular flavored mix, you don't need to get this.
The Base Powder (Just the Minerals and Vitamins) is mainly for international customers who want to save on shipping - it's everything but the protein (which is the #1 ingredient by weight and volume in Keto Chow). We have some additional details and info about the Base Powder on this page. When you mix it with the appropriate amount of protein powder you will end up with 21 meals worth of Keto Chow. Works great with
- Dymatize Elite 100% Whey (this is what was used in Keto Chow 1.9)
- Dymatize ISO100
- Isopure
- Optimum Nutrition Gold
- MyProtein Impact Whey (among others, most of their offerings are super low in carbs)
- And if you don't like Whey protein, there are a myriad of ones available that use egg white protein, casein, beef, soy, rice, and other protein sources! Just look for one with 2g of (non-fiber or "net") carbs per 28g or so of protein.
Order exactly 5, 13 or 18 and get 5% off - this is how many packages fit into our standard boxes. If you order 7 or 19 or another number other than those EXACT quantities, you won't get the 5% (and shipping will cost more).
Keto Chow is perfect for ketogenic/keto/low carb diets, or people who just want to lose weight (even if you're not doing keto). It tastes great and can be easily tailored to your caloric requirements just by adding more or less heavy cream or oil. Comes in a variety of flavors. I have a great write up on the Basics of Nutritional Ketosis – What is Keto, how to do it, how to succeed.

What is “Keto”?
If carbohydrates are available, your body will burn that first. If carbs are not available, your body will burn fat & your fat stores! “Keto” (scientifically known as “Nutritional Ketosis” but usually referred to as just “keto” or a “ketogenic diet”) involves restricting your diet to moderate protein, very low carbohydrates and high fat. It’s similar to the the Atkins diet, but with more solid science. When you are consuming enough protein to keep muscles happy, restricting carbohydrates as low as possible and making up the rest of your calories in fat, your body switches into a fat burning mode. Your liver will begin converting fats into energy molecules known technically as “ketone bodies” – which is where the name of the diet comes from. People end up with MORE energy and vitality on a ketogenic diet. Muscle cells are finally gaining energy instead of all the fuel getting stored away in fat cells because of insulin, specifically insulin resistance.
