So, I’m officially done. Had my first meal after my 100-day experiment where I was eating ONLY Keto Chow for all of my meals every day. What was my first meal? Chocolate Mint Keto Chow with half a stick of butter. It’s delicious =)
Now comes the not-so-fun-but-important part: compiling all my data for the experiment. I did pull a bunch of graphs and reports out of Cron-O-Meter, Heads-up Health, Keto Mojo, LEVL, and I put on my Zozo Suit again this morning to get measurements. Let’s see what it said!
Starting Measurements
Ending Measurements
Here are all of the measurements I took plotted on a graph, you can see the raw values on the “Zozo Suit” Tab of this spreadsheet.
How about some of my other markers? This morning I weighed myself and was a little disappointed to find that I was 0.1 lbs short of hitting 200 lbs (again). I started this experiment at 244.016 lbs on January 2 and ended today (April 12) at 200.107 – meaning my total weight loss for the 100 days was 43.909 lbs or 19.91 kg. I averaged a 0.439 lb weight loss per day over the 100 days (it was 0.49 up until day 80).
So, where does all of this leave me now? I’m with Beverly: “I do plan to continue using butter as my preferred fat source in my shakes unless there is a reason to stop based upon the blood lab test results” For me, butter checks a lot of the boxes:
- cheaper
- easier to store
- easier to transport
- lots of fantastic saturated fats
- short chain fats
- tastes amazing
- salted butter has more sodium
I really enjoyed following your experiment. And once I’d realized that Beverly had weekly posts about her experience, I enjoyed following her journey. I prefer savory to sweet so I stocked up on the creamy chicken soup when it became available and, I agree with you, butter is the best! Have you ever thought of ghee for one of your experiments? I thought your results when you added in MCT oil were super interesting so I wonder what differences, if any, there would be with butter and ghee (I’m assuming it would have fewer carbs because of eliminating milk solids?).
Looking forward to more savory flavors (no tomato or taco for me — tomatoes are a no go – but the beef broth one sounds intriguing). However, I did try salted butter in a warm Chocolate Mint shake and it was delicious. I plan on trying your method of emulsifying the butter soon.
Hey Chris – Thanks for the data! I’m excited to do 100 days with just the Keto Chow with butter. Can you give me the exact recipe you used to make the Keto Chow in the Blender Bottle? Thank you so much my friend!

Chris, just ran through your challenge videos and ordered my own Keto Chow starter kit (excellent Witch ad btw!)
Quick question: What is the ProBiotic you used? I want to get it since I do experience similar types of issues with dietary changes.
