Time to post a video of mixing up a week of Keto Chow. It’s very similar to my earlier videos for People Chow and Ketofood. You can find the recipe for Keto Chow here. There’s also a video showing what to do with the powder, mixing up 3 meals here.
I mix all 7 days at the same time and do not have a problem with it separating or consistency in the mixture. It’s pretty tiring when people want to argue the merits of mixing this way so I’m not going to argue with them anymore =) I’ve been mixing this way for going on 8 months, never had a problem. You don’t like it? don’t use it! Go ahead and mix every day individually; but this works far better for me than mixing individual days ever did.
Chris,
Thanks for posting a vid of the new recipe, it is very informative for me as I decide whether or not to embark upon soylent. One question that comes to mind is how you mix each day from the weeks worth of KetoChow. I would assume you just scoop some into a blender bottle, but you mentioned in the video that measuring by volume is inaccurate. Do you measure each meal bottle by weight instead (using the scale again)?
The video for mixing 3 meals is at https://old.ketochow.xyz/2015/03/mixing-3-meals-of-keto-chow/
I didn’t hear you say how much salt went into the mix?
6 grams a day
Also, if we’re using the cod liver oil rather than fish oil capsules – how much cod liver oil goes into a shaker cup (assuming 3 shaker cups per day)? The listings on diy.soylent.me don’t make this clear.
Thanks again for all your work on this, Chris!
Liquid fish oil and capsules are both there so you can choose which to use. Either 5 pills/day or 5ml a day. Just zero out one or the other.
dymatize – 770 g
Psyllium Husk – 112 g
Calcium / Magnesium D3 – 35 g
Xantham Gun – 10.5 g
Calcium Phosphate – 14 g
Colin3 bitartrate – 14 g
Potassium citrate – 42 g
Salt – 42 g
vitamin k – 7 pills.
I noticed that you didn’t add any ground up multivitamin which is what’s listed on DIY.soylent. Do you take them whole daily now or did you just skip that?
This video predates grinding up the vitamins and including them, at the time I was just taking the vitamins in pill form.
is there a benefit to grinding them over just taking them with your fish oil?
It’s one less thing to remember, that’s about it.
Hey Chris! So I prefer to mix all the vitamins together, without adding the protein. So that way when I make it every day, I measure the vitamins in, then protein, HWC, and coconut oil. To figure out how much to add per day of JUST vitamins, I’ve been adding up the total amount in grams that is used for 21 meals (per your recipe), dividing by 21, and adding that per meal. Thats correct, right?! I’m all up in my head about my elementary math skills now. Thanks :)
yep, that should work
Hi Chris,
I haven’t been able to locate any Choline L-Bitartrate supplements that are available in Australia. Is there anything else similar that I could use to replace it. Or if not would the keto chow still work okay if I skipped this ingredient?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with what is and what is not available in Australia. Skipping the choline is a VERY bad idea, it’s a necessary nutrient that you would need to get from other foods if it’s not in the mix.
Psyllium Husk is mentioned on this video, but I don’t see listed here https://old.ketochow.xyz/keto-chow-recipe/ Can you tell me why it was removed from the recipe?
In this video, Chris was mixing up the initial beta release of Keto Chow (version 0.7) dated March 2015. This version used Psyllium Husk powder as the fiber source. Over time, we’ve updated the recipe and now, versions 1.5.0 and above use acacia gum as the fiber source.
