Cookies and Cream 2.1.1 Now in Stock!

We just received a new shipment of Cookies and Cream 21 meal bags. Interestingly, this shipment is the first v2.1.1 Keto Chow we’ve gotten (we switched protein to one that doesn’t have sunflower lecithin and tastes a tiny bit better, Chris is the only one that can tell the difference).

Eggnog 21 meal packs are currently in packaging and should be arriving Monday or so with Pumpkin Spice Caramel later that week or the week after.

Fixed Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow now in stock

In case you missed it, we received a bunch of the Savory Chicken Soup (you mix it up HOT and you can use butter!) some time ago that had extra riboflavin to make it more yellow. The problem was: that also gave it a metallic aftertaste for some of our users. Now we have the fixed version back in stock in the large 21 meal bags. It’s the same stuff that’s in the samples.

We’ve had people doing all kinds of things with the Savory Chicken Soup – adding veggies, using it to replace cream of chicken soup in recipes, adding hot sauce and chicken. Most just add some salt and maybe some pepper to get it to where they like it and call it good but we’d love to hear what YOU do with it!

Do Low Carb Diets Cause Early Death? (video)

This entry is part 122 of 131 in the series Ketogenic Diet

So there’s been a big to-do the last few days about a new study that purports to indicate that a low carb diet will cause an early death. The news headlines have been rather extreme, and it seems that everyone has forgotten the PURE study from 12 months ago. Regardless: our friend @kendberry.md Ken Berry, MD, put out a video discussing, at length, everything going on in this study.

From the description of the video:

Do low-carb diets really lead to early death? Here is my response to the recent article published in the Lancet Journal of Public Health. I’ve included links below because I want you to actually read the study and verify what I’m saying. This topic is so important, and this field of science is so dubitable, that you can’t take anyone’s word about it, you need to read it yourself.

Harvard University currently is highly esteemed in the fields of medicine and nutrition research. The Lancet is currently highly esteemed in the fields of medicine and nutrition publication. But, if they don’t both stop publishing rubbish such as this as valid science from which we can glean valuable information, the reputations of both will suffer soon. Main-stream media’s blind, thoughtless parroting of whatever Harvard and the Lancet say is actually crippling both institutions, and destroying their credibility.

Your one life and your health are too important to entrust blindly and thoughtlessly to “expert opinion” you need to read and watch and research for yourself, and listen to your own body.

Second Flavor of the Week August 20-August 26: 10% off sale on Root Beer Float 21 meal packages

So earlier today we did a (flavor) of the week BONANZA on the remaining v2.0 samples we still had – after fewer than 4 hours they were all sold out. Actually, they sold out and then the website might have sold a little extra, we’re still figuring that out. Anyhow, they’re all gone now so we decided to run a SECOND sale this week:

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Root Beer Float 2.1. Really the only thing missing is the very slight hint of carbonation that’s left over after adding ice cream to root beer, other than that, it’s awfully close! Check out the flavor reviews of 2.1 Root Beer Float! Or even better, see what people are saying about it on Reddit: Here and Here

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Great selection… Superior customer service and support… Fast shipping… Special offer weekly and on bulk orders of 4 weeks or more… Great tasting product s

Here’s another review, it should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such. This particular review actually comes from Instagram (please note that we do NOT recommend bathing in Keto Chow, no matter how good it tastes =):

I wasnt sure if a meal replacement shake ass for me, I like food and I have hovered my weight for a decade.

After deciding to jump head first into Keto I needed something easier that met my macros but also tasted good.

These where a godsend.

I tried each of the available flavors and found ones I enjoyed and ones that where a pass, but this was the perfect way to determine which I woild want for my “week”

(Flavor) of the Week August 20-August 26: $1 BONANZA on the remaining 2.0 samples – 78% off

OK, to start, let me explain the “bonanza” – it’s from a TED Talk by James Veitch about replying to spammers, you should watch it, I’ll wait =) OK then:

SAMPLE BONANZA!! For the next week, you can get 78% off the remaining Keto Chow 2.0 samples (which is Vanilla 2.0 and Salted Caramel 2.0) – they’re cut down to $1 each. Yes they’re the older version of the product but hey: convenient packaging to take anywhere an all that. Plus they’re quite literally below our cost to make them (like WAY below cost).

UPDATE: um, that went really insanely fast. We’re already sold out of the 2.0 samples.

You should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow 2.0 Samples. Here’s a “taste”:

Great selection… Superior customer service and support… Fast shipping… Special offer weekly and on bulk orders of 4 weeks or more… Great tasting product s

Flavor of the Week August 13-August 19: 10% off sale on Natural Strawberry 2.1 week packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Natural Strawberry 2.1. We introduced the Natural Strawberry as a way to test out using monk fruit as a sweetener instead of sucralose. Occasionally we’ll get someone that likes the concept of Keto Chow but personally is avoiding certain sweeteners – this gives them the option of doing so. Monk Fruit does not taste the same as sucralose though; it’s far better than stevia in the taste testing we did, but it does only work with certain flavors and strawberry was a good fit. Check out the flavor reviews of 2.1 Natural Strawberry!

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Tastes great, priced just about right. Speedy shipping, and the sample packs are perfect for trying flavors, and for portability. Super people to work with. :-)

Kinda mad at @ketochow right now because their heavenly luscious, scrumptious, melted icecream tasting chocolate shake is so fantastic that now my @atkinsnutritionals chocolate “delight” tastes like someone filled a kiddie pool up with hose water, 12 toddlers played in it, and someone mentioned chocolate 3 houses down. Then they bottled it. I. Am. Ruined. I LOVE #ketochow ???? #ketoaf #ketochow #chocolate#whyisitsogood #isthisdrugs#notsponsored #wishiwasthough#imhooked #iwanttobatheinit

Keto Chow 2.1 Availability Update: Chicken, Cookies&Cream, Eggnog, and Pumpkin

Just wanted to give an update on what’s going on with the out of stock flavors:

  • Savory Chicken Soup (reformulation) will be going into production on Monday – that likely means we will be getting it a week later around August 20
  • Cookies & Cream will be starting right after, so expect it the following week
  • Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice Caramel are set to do their initial runs following Cookies and Cream. I expect we will see the large 21 meal bags of those arriving right near the end of August or beginning of September.
  • The Chocolate Peanut Butter samples are still likely coming near the end of August.
