About Chris

Chris Bair is a technology and computer geek. He became involved in the nutritionally complete "future foods" movement in January 2014, originally with a conventional recipe and later switching to a high fat, low carb "ketogenic" variant on October 2014. In January 2015 he created the recipe for Keto Chow and released it without restriction for anyone to use, at the same time he began mixing the recipe up for people that wanted a finished product and has seen steady growth in the business every month since.

Facebook Live recording from April 9, 2019

Every week we do a live broadcast where we answer questions, talk about fun stuff, and more!

This week we talked about:

  • Mocha is on sale this week
  • Day 98 of my experiment: 100 days of eating nothing but Keto Chow
  • Using butter with Keto Chow tastes fantastic. I like Salted butter for the added salt. What flavors have we tried?
  • We’re at Fitcon this week, at Keto Salt Lake in 2 weeks, there are only 35 tickets left!
  • Shelley wants to know if anyone has problems getting their daily water
  • Someone asked how long it took for Keto Chow to arrive: a dissertation on when we are open and when we ship orders.
  • What do you do if your Keto Chow is too thick
  • Mary wants to know what to do when you go out and everyone wants you to eat non-keto food
  • Over on Reddit DefNotAShark asked for advice on how many calories to shoot for during his own 100 days of Keto Chow
  • StacyStitches posted an exceptionally long review of all the flavors she tried, others chimed in with their own reviews.
  • DrawInfinity tried Chocolate Keto Chow hot and absolutely loved it.

Here is the facebook live recording, complete with the user comments:

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 99

This entry is part 105 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

Went down a little more yesterday, I’m now down 43 lbs since starting this experiment. If all goes like it currently is, I might just hit a new goal before I finish this experiment!

We did our weekly facebook live last night, I have the UHD4K recording getting rendered right now, it’ll be posted in a bit. Aside from that, today is all about preparing for the FitCon show that’s coming up later this week. We got new signage and other fun stuff.

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 98

This entry is part 104 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

I dropped a bit yesterday, as of this morning I’m down 42.4 lbs. Sweet.

People keep asking what I’m going to eat when this 100 days of only Keto Chow are over. I think they are expecting either some crazy feast or for me to say “not Keto Chow!” On Friday morning I’m going to get my final blood test taken, then I’ll have some Keto Chow for breakfast. Lunch will be at Buffalo Wild Wings where they fry their wings in BEEF TALLOW. I’m going to get the dry seasoning traditional wings, they’re 1-2g of carbs. Dinner will be something with the kids, likely the smoked pulled pork from Costco. Saturday we’re going to be at Fitcon in the Keto Chow booth so I’ll be back to drinking Keto Chow for breakfast and lunch, dinner will be at a Churrascaria (Brazilian BBQ). Sunday, back to Keto Chow with brisket for dinner that I bought from https://paizlees.com/– who raises beef in Southern Utah. Monday, probably Keto Chow for breakfast and lunch and steaks for dinner (which will be the norm for the foreseeable future: Keto Chow and meat, all day every day).

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 97

This entry is part 103 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

Welcome back to me! I had planned to record videos for day 95 and day 96 whilst we were camping but completely forgot. It was actually really nice to unplug – not that we had a chance, we were camping in the middle of Utah’s West Desert with mountain ranges blocking any cellular signal we might have picked up. It was a fun time though, Miriam and Holly were doing a week of carnivore so the meals tended to be amazing steaks, keto pancakes (eggs+cream cheese, covered in whipped cream), roasted chicken thighs, you know – stuff I was not eating at the time. On the other hand, while driving back home I did try Chocolate Toffee Keto Chow that was mixed up with butter for the fat. That was yummy enough that Miriam made sure to make some for her today. My meal prep was insanely easy – gram a pre-made Keto Chow from the fridge. Done. I did help with making meals for everyone else – even managed to burn the back of my right-hand making hamburgers.

OK, so day 97. This morning I mixed up enough Keto Chow to last me through Thursday dinner, which will be the end of my 100 days of eating only Keto Chow for all my meals, the following morning I’ll be getting my final blood test. This morning I hit 40.1lbs lost – that’s cool =)

Flavor of the week: Get 10% off the Mocha Keto Chow 21 meal packs between April 8 – April 14

Until April 14 you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of the Mocha Keto Chow.  It should be noted that Check out the flavor reviews of Mocha. We sometimes get asked: “what can I do with Keto Chow besides make shakes?” The best place to start is our Keto Chow Recipes page, here is a great recipe that uses Mocha Keto Chow:

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 96

This entry is part 102 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

I forgot to record a video update for day 96. We went camping out in the middle of Utah’s West Desert, far from cell signal and anything else. Everyone else had meat, I drank Keto Chow =)

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 94

This entry is part 100 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

Hello and welcome to Day 94! I have my penultimate blood test today and I received the blood test results from myself and Beverly yesterday – those are both up on the spreadsheet (look for the “100 Days of Keto Charts” tab for the easy to read graphs): https://bit.ly/2HMIMUo

I’m quite happy to be back from the convention. Every time I do one of these it seems like my email inbox explodes. I prefer to keep it completely empty with every message taken care of. When I’m at a convention, there are a lot of things I simply can’t address on my phone and need my actual desktop, so it sits there and festers, gnawing at my brain.

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 93

This entry is part 99 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

Can’t believe it’s day 93 already (and not butter… actually it is butter, yum!). It’s been interesting talking to people about Keto Chow, they’ll frequently ask if you can eat it for all of your meals if you’re just too lazy to cook. I’ll chuckle and say “actually yes, I’m on day X where it’s the only thing that I’ve eaten for all of my meals – since January 2” They usually blink a few times and have a TON of follow-up questions. Using your own product like this REALLY has some serious benefits for showing people that you mean what you say and truly believe in the product and what you claim it to be.

I got up and going early so I could come into the office and get a little bit of work (and this post/video) done before heading to the show again today. I’m not sure what we’re getting out of the convention. It’s more for large food manufacturers that are showing their stuff to supermarkets. The most frequent questions we get asked are “are you in the [associated foods] catalog?” and “are you in the [associated foods] warehouse?” Nope, we are not. We are in OUR warehouse and we have a forklift to load trucks. The prospect of going for retail is interesting but comes with a lot of overhead (figurative and literal) and I’m not sure it’s where we should devote some of our time and energy. Interestingly enough, one big takeaway for us is that the Ketogenic Diet (or “keto”) is now hitting the mainstream in a big way. Many of the people that we talked to were ones that are currently doing keto and were interested in Keto Chow for their own personal use (including people running bakeries and caramel businesses). We’re not allowed to sell at the show but several of the other smaller “local” vendors placed orders on our site last night, a few we’re shipping direct and one we’re bringing her order with us to the show today =)

100 Days of Keto (Chow) Day 92

This entry is part 98 of 107 in the series 100 Days of Keto Chow

We’re at the Associated Foods show, it’s mostly store buyers wanting to get wholesale information ?

Getting my meals ready involved stopping for 5 seconds at the fridge and grabbing 2 blender bottles of Keto Chow to throw in the cooler. Easy stuff!
