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.

Too many Pallets! Let’s get more racks

Now that we’re on the cusp of starting to get the 2.1 samples and getting the 10 new flavors of 2.1, we’re running out of rack space to store the pallets of Keto Chow that are coming in. Last week when we temporarily ran out of Chocolate we also got a massive shipment of Vanilla – so vanilla took over Chocolate’s space on the rack. Anyhow, today we are getting more pallet racks, enough for 104 additional pallets full of Keto Chow (288 bags a pallet). I did the math and the total capacity of the racks is only 75% of the total manufacturing order I placed for Keto Chow 2.1 so I guess it’s a really good thing that we didn’t get everything in at the same time (and we’ve also already sold a significant amount too =) – and that doesn’t even take into account the pallets of samples we should be getting in a few weeks. Both of the guys who came to do the install ended up asking a bunch of questions about Keto, I think it can help them a lot!

Anyhow, it’s all done and here’s a time lapse of the construction:

Chocolate Keto Chow 2.1 Back in Stock

Took a long time driving, but I just got back and completed the quality check of a new batch of Chocolate 2.1 – the inventory finished syncing up to the shopping cart and it’s available for purchase right now

Of note, this particular batch uses the new zipper that doesn’t suck!

Flavor of the Week May 21-May 27: 10% off sale on Vanilla 2.1 week packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Vanilla 2.1. Check out the reviews of 2.1 Vanilla!

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

Loving this for my lunch most days. Why?

    1. Quick and easy to make and take with you
    2. Cost per meal is really reasonable. Delicious and nutritious lunch for under $4 (including your fat). Hard pressed to get that most places.
    3. Helped with any cravings I have had/may have had for sweets. I used to be the kind of person that could be totally cool with a 4 donut lunch or a candy bar and a piece of pie. This makes me feel like I’m getting what I want with out the sugar killing me.
    4. It keeps me full. I drink it around noon typically and usually don’t have dinner until between 6-8 PM. I do snack from time to time if I am really hungry, but most days (like 90% of the time…and typically only if I don’t eat until later) I make it to dinner and never feel depraved. If you had lunch at noon and dinner at five like a lot of people this is all you’d need. Do IF, Keto Chow for lunch, still have plenty of room left for a nice filling keto dinner.

Stop questioning yourself….buy some!

Here’s another, 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:

Easy check out pricess and the item I bought showed up quick. Keto Chow is the best tasting, low carb shake I have tried. Really good flavor ( bought the chocolate and add PB2 to change it up if I want)

Vanilla Keto Chow 2.1 now available

Keto Chow 2.1 just arrived! We have a bunch tonight and more on the way tomorrow. We now have all 8 of the original 8 flavors in stock (for a day or two, then we will run out of chocolate but we’ll get more of that in about a week).

So if you’ve been waiting for Vanilla, go get it!

Printing more Keto Chow 2.1.0 bags – Vanilla 2.1.0 is being packaged right now

I don’t remember if I mentioned this earlier: when we ordered everything for Keto Chow 2.1.0, we had one place print the bags and then another place had to make the actual pouches since the first place didn’t have their pouching machine working yet. Not a big deal, except the pouching place screwed up some of the bags and we were short 15,000 – primarily Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Salted Caramel. It wasn’t a good day when I learned that. They also used the wrong zipper so it gets clogged with powder easily.

Time moves on and the place that did the printing (and is SUPER FAST!) has their poucher working. We’re running the missing 15000 bags right now – here’s what it looks like, in case you’re wondering. Please excuse the vertical video, I wasn’t the one filming it.

Anyhow, this becomes important because: Vanilla 2.1.0 is being packaged right now, we will likely see it sometime later this week and then the original 8 flavors will all be complete and then we can start making the samples for all 18 flavors of Keto Chow 2.1.0! …

Except we are almost out of Chocolate 2.1.0 because of the missing bags, the ones that are being reprinted. So we’re going to run Chocolate (and Chocolate Peanut Butter) really quick and get those packaging while we run the batches for samples. Ideally we should only be out of stock on Chocolate for a week or less. Then we can do the “week” bags of Chicken Soup and the rest of the new flavors. Still looking at June for the samples of 2.1.0 to be available.

I can’t tell you how happy I am with Keto Chow. Keep doing what you are doing. I will be buying Keto Chow for as long as you are selling it.

The new 2.1 has blown me away on flavor and texture compared to the previous revision. Keto Chow has gone from a simple everyday routine thing and into something I look forward to..

Chris on the Keto Geek Podcast

Tuesday, I had the honor of recording an episode of the KetoGeek podcast. It all came about because I had listened to the KetoGeek Podcast episode with Dave and Siobahn and decided, hey, I should order some of those “infamous” energy pods… So I did. When it arrived, there was a hand-written note from Fahad (the founder and guy that does the podcast) thanking me for the order and noting that he used Keto Chow back when he first started keto. I looked it up, he was one of our earlier subscribers (incidentally, that option is coming back with a vengeance in about a week if I can get the negotiated rates with UPS down enough) way back at the beginning of 2016.

Anyhow, he invited me on the podcast and it was posted late Wednesday night:

On an aside, at the end of the recording, I promised to create a Keto Chow facebook group. I did =) You can find it at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketochowsupport/

Flavor of the Week May 7-May 13: 10% off sale on Strawberry 2.1 week packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Strawberry 2.1.0 – this is the first 2.1 flavor to go on sale and the first time we’ve had strawberry on sale since December 2017. Check out the reviews of 2.1 Strawberry!

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

Keto Chow is the best and it’s well worth every penny is a great taste great flavors easily made I suggest anybody that is on keto have you some Keto Chow

Here’s another, 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:

I’ve gone through about 8 “weeks” of the 2.0 formula, which was fantastic and helps me stay keto without having to spend a lot of time prepping meals. The fact that the 2.1 thickens much and faster is the biggest difference I’ve noticed in the 3 flavors I’ve tried so far. It makes it great if you’re pressed for time and didn’t plan ahead to have one chilled. The downside is that the powder clumps up if you’re not using a wire whisk in your shake bottle. That’s an easy remedy, but worth noting.

Overall, I feel just as satiated with the new formula as the old and will continue to use this as an easy meal replacement to meet my macros.

Keto Chow 2.1 Banana Available – what’s next.

We have Banana Keto Chow 2.1 available now. It’s out of order – we were supposed to get Vanilla next. I think they went with Banana first because it was a smaller amount and the protein supply for 2.1 was getting low.

The next round of protein was shipped a few days ago and should be arriving early next week. It’ll get tested and then for realsies they are going to do the small batches necessary to make the 2.1 samples. Once those are all made, we can get the samples packaged and start selling those! I expect we will be getting the 2.1 samples sometime in early June, depending on the scheduling of the machine that is being used to package them. We should be getting all of the flavors at the same time and the sample bundles will be going up for purchase immediately.
