Facebook Live recording from September 3, 2019

This entry is part 126 of 131 in the series Ketogenic Diet

Every week we do a live broadcast where we answer questions, talk about fun stuff, and more! Here is the high-quality recording straight from the camera in UHD4K

We talked about:

  • The Keto Chow flavor of the week is Root Beer float. It’s 10% off until Monday morning.
  • Keto Salt Lake 2019 Youtube playlist
  • Matt and Megha from Keto Connect have a new cookbook coming out on September 17 – you can Pre-order on Amazon
  • Cayts onion rings
  • We made chaffles for our kids for school lunches so we ordered a bunch of other OOO (one on one) flavors to add to the chaffles made with vanilla keto chow. The recipe Miriam made was:
    • 1/2 scoop vanilla keto chow
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 or 1 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese
  • Discount link and code for OOO flavors is on https://old.ketochow.xyz/our-favorite-things/
  • Joe pokes fun of us for making rather basic videos =)
    • Making Keto Chow Ice Cream https://youtu.be/qlm0E__B_mo
    • Heating up Savory Keto Chow https://youtu.be/3d_0gz6_Qg8
    • Fixing overly salty or thick Keto Chow https://youtu.be/7tUVQUbJiQI
  • If you don’t like the thickness of Keto chow add more water. We say “add 14 oz of water” but we think sometimes people understand that as “add water to 14 oz in the blender bottle” if you’re measuring that way it would be to the 20 ounce line.
  • Can you use half-and-half with Keto Chow – what fats to use with Keto Chow https://youtu.be/drx1cAEtJc4
  • Using Keto Chow for emergency situations (hurricanes, power outages, scout camp, etc…)
  • 2 Krazy Ketos video about keto in a power outage
  • If you want to eat fewer meals than 3 can you still use keto chow? Yes, make 3 shakes at once and then split it into 2 meals. Or eat your three at once with less water. There are lots of options you can do.
  • What do you do with electrolyte drops?
  • What can you make with the Chicken Soup Keto Chow? How do you make it?
  • Amanda’s dumplings recipe on Instagram
  • Keto Chow packages show delivered but nothing is there. What’s up? How do you handle it?
  • What do you do if Keto Chow is too sweet? Add some salt!
  • How do you handle “cheats” or falling off the wagon?

New Video: What is “Keto”?

This entry is part [part not set] of 2 in the series Keto Chow Information Videos

What is “Keto” or a Ketogenic Diet, how do you do it? Miriam and Chris from Keto Chow sit down to talk about how to do a well-formulated ketogenic diet and set yourself up for success.

We have several other videos you should check out:

Here are Chris’ suggestions for calculating your macros:

Carbs are an upper limit, meaning do not go higher than that. You want to be as far below them as possible, approaching zero if you can.

You want to hit your protein goal. If you go over it, that’s not a big deal. There’s a thing in your body that can turn protein into glucose but it’s DEMAND driven, not supply-driven, and so long as you’re keeping your carbohydrates low, your insulin will be low as well and too much protein isn’t something to be concerned about. Too little protein is a problem. A lot of people argue about this but Dr. Benjamin Bikman settled the debate back in 2018:

Fat is more variable. If your insulin is low then your body will be able to supply fat using your body’s reserves (yay!). If you are just starting keto then your insulin is likely high enough that the fat is locked away and you will not be able to access it readily. Here’s the rub: you’re not eating carbs so you don’t have glucose; but you also can’t access stored fat so unless there’s sufficient fat on your plate, your cells will not have any sources of energy and you’re going to get hungry. Probably REALLY hungry and think this keto thing is a pack of lies. The solution is to make sure you are getting sufficient fat until your body figures out what it’s doing and can pull from storage. Especially when you’re starting up the amount of fat you’re eating. Throw some extra butter on your steak, add some more heavy cream to your diet root beer, etc… After you’ve adjusted, then you can start running a caloric deficit but you’re probably not even going to need to deliberately do it since your body should clue-in and tell you “nah, I’m full – save that for later”

Finally: this cannot be emphasized enough: get salt. Like: a lot of salt. Not to be melodramatic but everything you’ve been told about limiting salt consumption is dead wrong and has no application to a ketogenic diet with low insulin levels. Salt your food. Salt your drinks. Eat some pickles. Drink some pickle juice. Make some chicken broth. Add more salt to your food. Failure to get enough salt will result in you feeling like crap and getting “Keto Flu” – I can speak from experience.

Fixing Keto Chow that’s too salty and/or too thick

This entry is part 128 of 131 in the series Ketogenic Diet

You keep hearing how amazing Keto Chow is, the reviews are fantastic… but you mixed it up and it’s super thick and it’s WAY too salty – what’s going on? Was everyone lying? No, you just need to add more water!

On the Keto Chow instructions, it says to add 14 ounces (or more) of water, sometimes that gets interpreted to “mix to 14 ounces total” and if you do that it’s going to be WAY too thick and unbearably salty. It’s going to be GROSS. What you need to do is add more water, most people like the taste and thickness when the total mixture is around 20 ounces, or a nearly full Blender Bottle. If your Keto Chow is already mixed up and not the way you like it, just add more water!

Sample Bundle are the Best

Hey Keto Chow. Thank you for providing samples of your Keto Chow flavors. I wish more companies would offer sample sizes before buying the larger full size bags. It shows how much you believe in your product and that you want customers to be happy with their choices. I loved the taste of every flavor. I will be buying several 21 serving bags. Snickerdoodle and Salted Caramel WOW delicious. The blender bottle is awesome too!

Linda L.
Yum! 3 bags!

Bought 2 regular Strawberry & 1 Chocolate Peanut butter!
Strawberry is still my favorite but I am going to use the chocolate/peanutbutter to make one of the recipes they have on the website!
I’m horrible at eating breakfast and I really look forward to my shake in the morning to start me off right. ??‍?❤️

Brenda S.
Great Product

I have tried a variety of “Keto Friendly” type shakes. They were like liquid chalk and left me hungry in a very short window. The Keto Chow has been rock solid in the taste department and actually provides a long-lasting hunger buffer. Besides the great product, it was actually the Hansel & Gretel commercial that caught my attention. The Witch made me do it…

Jason H.
A Rich and Creamy Surprise!

I am not going to lie, I was not expecting to like this product as much as I do. The flavors actually taste like what they say they are. I always use heavy cream in my Keto Chow shakes and it comes out so creamy, delicious and satisfying. I was so surprised how tasty they are. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.

Tina D.
Tastes great – Quick service

After watching the Facebook ad we tried the sample. Shipped quickly and the taste/quality of Keto Chow did not disappoint. We will be ordering more.

David G.
It’s as good as the commercial!

I was a bit skeptical however Keto Chow is delicious. The package arrived pretty quickly and included the quality shaker, Keto Chow packets, and easy instructions. Every flavor in the sample pack was amazing in my opinion. I usually don’t like fake strawberry or root beer flavors but even THEY were yummy! There was no dreading drinking the shake. I actually looked forward to each one. I made a shake at night before I went to bed and drank it for my first meal the following day, which for me, is around noon. The shake kept me satisfied until supper time.
Keto Chow is not as crunchy as Hansel or Gretel but much easier to prepare. ha ha I love the witch commercial for Keto Chow. It’s witty, funny, and smart.
Good job friends.

Donna J.
Earned a new customer

I first heard of Keto Chow via Facebook after watching the “Keto Witch” video. I must confess I was a bit annoyed and expected the video being dull and corny. It should not surprise me the “Keto Witch” mentioned every reason why I fell off the Keto wagon so many time. Shortly after the video, I started reading reviews and watching a few videos. I ordered the sampler deal and thus far I have been pleased with every single flavor. They’re so tasty and filling. I just placed an order for a month and added some soup samples too.

Joanna V.
Amazing!

I really expected to not like some of the flavors but they were all amazing. So much so that I have a hard time wanting to eat anything else. SOOOO good!

Kimberly H.
LOVE this product!

I am loving this product! It has helped me to lose 15 lbs. in a matter of 3 weeks quite easily, by giving you the feeling of not being deprived and hungry all the time! I am using the shakes with intermittent fasting. All the flavors that I have tried have been great.

Audra B.
Surprising Taste and Surprising Results

I have had different shakes all with that same aftertaste or its close but not really. I have enjoyed drinking and tasting the different flavors. Also a surprise was that I am not craving sweets anymore. Which makes this way easier than before!!!!! Something I can stick with and complete. Thanks,

Anette R.
Easy, convenient, and delicious!

I’ve known about Keto Chow for quite some time, but never took the steps to try it. Once I compared costs between what I was spending eating out throughout the month, it was cheaper and healthier to take the leap. My first purchase was Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Snickerdoodle has just the right level of sweetness and Chocolate Peanut Butter takes care of all of my sweet tooth battles. I just placed another order of Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cookies & Cream, and Chocolate Mint. A meal replacement that tastes this good and is keto friendly makes everything so much easier when you have a busy schedule.

Chey-Anne P
Amazing! I’m liking this product a lot!

I’ve tried lots of keto shakes and low carb type meal replacements. They were OK but not great. I am totally blown away by this meal replacement. The taste, consistency and all of the nutrients are top notch. My favorite is Vanilla and chocolate. I’m going to try the cookies n cream. Delicious! I’ll be buying this for sure!

Just a reminder: We are closed for Labor Day Monday, September 2

Just by way of reminder: The United States Post Office, as well as UPS and all major parcel carriers, will be closed on this coming Monday for Labor Day. Consequently, Keto Chow is also closed. That means that order placed after about 10 am on Friday (tomorrow, 24 hours from when I’m posting this) will not ship until Tuesday, September 3rd.

If an order comes in on Friday afternoon and it’s set to be shipped by UPS Next Day Air, it will not be delivered until Wednesday, September 4. I know I’ve been guilty of forgetting about weekends and holidays when I’ve placed orders online but I want to make sure that people are informed as possible.

The photo was taken by one of our “sample monkeys” (yes, that is their actual job title) halfway through preparing several hundred Starter Bundles, they thought it was cool, so do I =)

Amazing Product — Amazing Company!!
I LOVE Keto Chow! The flavors are fantastic and it really curbs my appetite, helping me to stick to my keto plan with ease. My 16yo daughter really loves it, too. It takes all the guess work out of putting together a meal with correct macros and satisfies my sweets cravings as well. Recently, our order came through the mail with a large puncture in the packaging. Not only did we lose more than a third of the contents, I was concerned about potential malicious contamination. I took a couple of pictures and sent a quick note to customer service. Within moments, Jenn contacted me back and let me know that they were sending out a replacement for me at no extra charge!! What an awesome company and the BEST keto meal replacement we have tried!!

Susan M.

ALTERNATIVE WAY TO SERVE
I really love this stuff, and the banana flavor is great. I started by following the directions, but then I tried adding it to my keto smoothies and drinking them instantly and it all got MUCH easier.

I use almond milk, ice, avocado oil (as specified), low carb nut butter, Rebel Icecream (which is super keto friendly and basically heavy cream) and I blend it into a thickshake and it is AMAZING. I have it for breakfast every day and it really gives me the energy I need. I’m actually not hungry again for hours, and it’s so delicious, especially in summer, it’s a thick shake for breakfast.

Catherine T.

THIS. IS. THE. REAL. DEAL!
I’ve tried lots of meal replacements. Who hasn’t? I am just now getting to the end of my sample packs (I ordered two), and I will be placing another order within the next 24 hours. This stuff is GOOD people! If you are looking for a meal replacement that is DA BOMB, try KETO CHOW. I don’t think you’ll regret it. I know “I” have NOT regretted a single serving!

Ann E.

Finally something that taste great!
so many options and so many disappointments. Keto Chow was recommended by a co-worker and while skeptical I took the plunge. I was delighted with all of the flavors. The mix results in a thick, creamy consistency and the flavors don’t have that weird after taste – even the banana was good!

Rebecca N.

Awesome!
I love Keto Chow! I’ve been drinking it daily for lunch for about a year and a half now and continue to enjoy it. In fact, I like it so much that I look forward to every day’s flavor (I rotate between 8 different kinds) and am always sad when I finish one. I stay well satiated until my next meal, too! I highly recommend this product and will always remain a [satisfied] customer.

Marilyn S.

Great and unique product
These mean replacements are rather amazing. They DO NOT have an odd aftertaste, are filling, and the nutritional balance is just right. I have used then per package instructions and also in pound cake made with CarbQuick. The pumpkin spice pound cake was one of the best I have ever had, and greatly keto. My next project is going to be the tomato soup mixture in a meatloaf.

Steve B.

Smooth, not chalky like other meal replacement drinks.
And the taste is even better! After just trying the first flavor for me, (Strawberry) that this was something I was going to want to reorder. I have since ordered the 10 pack sample, and the soup samplerpack. My plan is to try as many as I can so I know what ones I like best before I order digger bags.

Julie R.

Order more quickly!
This is amazing! I have tried every diet known to mankind. Shakes always left me starving. Not Keto Chow, I am full! There is so much of it and it is thick and delicious. I didn’t order more for a few days after my trial pack arrived, big mistake. Couldn’t wait for my order to arrive, watching that tracking number like a crazy woman. I need to lose over a 100 pounds. Doing keto and having these yummy shakes, I actually feel like I will be able to do it this time. Thank you !!!

Joyce P.

Best of them all !!!
I just have to say, I’ve tried so many so-called Keto and LC shakes and meal re[lacement drinks over the years and they all vary in the macros, the nutrients the good or bad ingredients, etc, but they all shared one unmistakable characteristic. They all tasted awful! They were either too thick or too thin or just weird in texture. Even if the texture was palatable the taste was either non-existant or just plain gross. Every health shake for any purpose, protein, weight loss, meal replacement, etc. needs to step up their game. your product is head and shoulders above them. I think Strawberry will be my favorite, I’m just waiting for my sample of the natural strawberry to compare and then I will place an ongoing subscription. I can’t recommend your product more highly and look forward to trying the savory flavors and the electrolyte drops as well. I wish you great success in your business and thank you so much for developing it. Cheers to a long and wonder consumer relationship.

Valerie C.

My go to meals after surgery
So I bought a few big bags of Keto Chow because I live alone and had shoulder surgery on my dominate hand. I had to have something easy to make that didn’t make a mess. So I went to Costco, loaded up on butter and bought an immersion blender. I bought blender bottles to make 3 batches each time. I haven’t found a flavor I don’t like, so I’m very impressed. I made Keto Chow Ice Cream for one meal following the 2KrazyKetos recipe. I will continue to use Keto Chow for meal replacement and an ice cream treat too! The only thing I don’t like is the packaging. The package is hard to get closed properly.
