Halfway! I am officially 50% done with my 100 days of eating nothing but Keto Chow. Honestly, it’s really been quite easy. It’s been a drag when I was cooking amazing Keto food for my family but other than that, I’m not bored with what I’m eating, not suffering any debilitating problems, the only real issue I’ve had the entire time was that I needed to take a probiotic when I switched to eating Keto Chow for all my meals to get things happy in my tummy. My first blood test of the experiment should be available for me to look at tomorrow afternoon. I suspect it will say that I am alive, my triglycerides are low, my HDL is normal, and my LDL will be quite high, not that LDL being high matters.

We did our Facebook live last night, had some technical issues but it was great to hear from Taffiny. I think I have a solution for the technical issues so this won’t be a problem in the future, looks like https://www.golightstream.com/ is the answer. We have the Blender Bottles with the new Keto Chow logo on them up on the site, that does mean that the $1 Blender Bottle party is over =( We do still have some of the old ones but they’re now $6.50 each (which is still a really good price)

Oh man, we are so close to the half-way point! As of today I’m down 25.4lbs, my blood ketone levels were on the low side last night at 1.9mmol/L but today they are up to 2.3mmol/L (not that that really matters, still cool though). I’m still really enjoying the “just heavy cream” part of the current section, it’s really yummy.

Spent all morning moving Miriam’s computer, we’re going to put Steve up front to handle walk-in customers now. I need to put up a bunch of recipes on the site today, especially since we’re going to be having Taffiny (the lady that made many of the recipes on our site) as a guest on the Facebook live we are doing tonight. Be sure to join us at 7:30 pm Mountain time!

Had a fantastic Meet-up yesterday, I think we had over 30 people here. Lots of fun! I drank my Keto Chow =)

So close to halfway! =) We’re going to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for Valentine’s Day lunch today. I’ll probably drink my Keto Chow beforehand and just tell the server that I’m fasting, that’s easier than “Well you see, I’m doing this weird experiment where I am only drinking a high-fat ketogenic meal replacement shake for 100 days and I’m currently on day 44 so I can’t eat any of your delicious wings that are deep fried in BEEF FAT and have fewer than 2g of carbs in them, so I’ll just have a drink please.” I told Miriam that I would be quite willing to go out for food but she’s been reticent to do it – something about social conventions and it being weird that I’m not eating. I’m perfectly fine not eating, it’s a lot like doing keto when there’s no viable food available and so you just don’t eat – same thing =). Speaking of beef fat, I did finally get the squares of rendered beef fat that I made from the trimmings off the brisket, cut up and put into the freezer. So I have probably 2-3lbs of those now that I can use for cooking in the future and it was way better than throwing all that away! I’ll probably use some to deep fry chicken wings sometime after April 12.

Only got a kinda half-dinner yesterday, we were doing some short videos to promote Keto Chow and part of it involved drinking some Keto Chow – except I didn’t drink a whole one because I only have my breakfast and lunch ones and the one we were using as a prop was half full. All-in it was a good experience though we were inordinately tired after it was all done. Normally the videos I shoot are just me improvising in front of the camera, these had a bit of a script and took a bunch of takes.
