Quick update today, we’re going to go set up a booth at a local conference this morning so I gotta be done really quickly.

Not much to report, the experiment is still going well. I got a crown on one of my molars yesterday, for whatever reason (likely because it’s on the top), my teeth don’t hurt at all today. That’s cool.

Wowsers, here we are at 90% of the way through my 100 days of only eating Keto Chow for all of my meals! I have to say: using butter in Keto Chow is absolutely fantastic. Chocolate is a little weird because if it’s heated, the cocoa powder settles over time (I covered that in depth on Day 88) but it just needs a good shake. I’m going to need to mix up some more Keto Chow with butter tomorrow and I’ll have the camera at home in order to do the weekly Facebook Live so I’m planning on recording a short video showing the process that I’m using to mix it up. The short version is: use warm water, melted butter, and a blender/immersion blender; pour it into containers for storage (we use blender bottles), and either drink it cold the next few days or you can reheat it.

It should be noted that today we launched a new flavor of Keto Chow and the Chocolate Keto Chow is the Flavor of the week and correspondingly 10% off for the large 21 meal bags.

Hoo boy, day 89! I did Chocolate and Chocolate Mint Keto Chow with butter for breakfast and lunch, didn’t even bother heating them up – the butter was fantastic. I think when I’m done with the 100 days, I’m going to stick with using butter a fair majority of the time. I think butter would also be a great option for travel, TSA doesn’t care about butter ?

See you all on day 90, I have some cool stuff for tomorrow so watch out for it!

Hey there, welcome to day 88! I did start losing weight again after about a week-long stall. As of now, I’m down 39.7lbs since starting this challenge on January 2.

I’m here at the office for just a bit and then on my way to help my dad. Today for lunch I’m drinking Chocolate Keto Chow with BUTTER as the fat source. Didn’t even bother heating it up, I’m just drinking it cold and enjoying it. Because you have to heat the water to get the butter to emulsify, the heat causes the cocoa powder to separate once it cools. A good shake fixes that right up but it’s interesting. The Chocolate Peanut Butter and Mocha should have the same issues but none of the other ones likely will. Here’s my Breakfast, Dinner, and Lunch: Creamy Tomato Basil, Chocolate Mint, and Chocolate.

Butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, BUTTER!

Last night we mixed up a bunch of meals of Keto Chow with butter as the fat source, 3 meals at a time using an immersion blender and warm water; then we poured them out into blender bottles and stuck them in the fridge. I think I did 6 meals of Creamy Tomato Basil, 6 of Chocolate Mint, and either 3 or 6 of regular Chocolate. I tasted the Chocolate Mint in the video that accompanies this post, it was good. Keto Chow with Avocado Oil is fine, especially if you mix it with a blender, but I personally like the Heavy Cream more and I think I like it with butter best. I have an empty mug of Chocolate Mint on my desk that is making me pretty sad. I’ll be having some of the tomato for lunch later today, that’ll be happy times (until it’s gone too).

Went to LabCorp this morning to get my latest blood draw. The phlebotomist started recognizing me finally and remembered my weird experiment. So that was fun =)

I’m stalled out a little on my weight loss – holding steady at a 38.7 lb loss since I started this 86 days ago. Today is my final day of doing all of my fat in the form of 45ml of Avocado Oil and 15ml of MCT (per meal), starting tomorrow I’ll be doing 66.67g of salted butter per meal (200g per day) and continuing that for 2 weeks to finish out the experiment. I prefer heavy cream to Avocado Oil and I’m guessing that I’ll quite enjoy the butter. I’m planning on making a video showing how we mix up the butter so it doesn’t separate out when refrigerated.

One of our friends asked yesterday why I think I’ve lost 38+ pounds doing only Keto Chow compared to normal food. Here are my answers:

Yesterday I finished cutting together the “behind the scenes” footage from the commercial shoot. We’re planning on showing that, along with the commercial, in a week or two – doing it on YouTube as a “premier” so that everyone can watch it together for the first time. Should be cool stuff!
