DEXA Scan Results (body composition analysis)
I’ve been doing Nutritional Ketosis (aka: “keto”) for about a year and a half now. (more…)
So far, no correlation between breath acetone and blood ketones
For the last 40 days I’ve been checking my blood ketone levels (using a Nova Max and horribly expensive test strips) and at the same time checking my breath acetone levels using a Ketonix. (more…)
My Graduation Pants are WAY too big
I was going through my closet last night and an old pair of pants fell out. (more…)
1 Year of Keto, 77% the man I used to be
I started Keto on October 20, 2014 and started posting my experiences on November 4, 2014. A lot has happened in a year, I’m 77% the man I used to be; so let’s do a retrospective. (more…)
Family Photos, 1 year later
We recently had family photos taken, the last time was 11 months (and 60lbs) ago, just 4 days after I started doing Keto back on October 25, 2014. Time for a comparison.
Strangely enough, I’m wearing the exact same pants, but in a 34 instead of the 38s I wore last year.
And for kicks, here is a comparison from just before I started Keto and about 3 weeks ago:
11 months, DreamForce14 to DreamForce15
11 months ago I attended DreamForce 2014. It was really good. It was also the “the straw that broke the camel’s back” in that the sheer amount of weight I gained during the conference convinced me to make some changes and start Keto. Attached to this post is the headshot taken last year during DreamForce next to one taken yesterday. You can’t see most of my body but I weigh 60 lbs (4.3 stone, 27.2 kg) less now:
It has been interesting (food wise) to be here at the conference. I just bring Keto Chow in insulated flasks since “breakfast” is juice and bread (I could eat the butter), lunch is a tiny bit of meat with carbs that you have to stand in line for, dinner’s on your own – I figure I might as well keep going.
So anyhow, that’s 11 months down; the rest of my life to go!
Interesting user experience with blood sugar on Keto Chow
I did my own test a while ago on the effects of Keto Chow on my own blood sugar levels, a customer (Hi Nick!) sent me an email today (he looked this post over before I published it) (more…)
Weight Update – 199.1
This morning the scale hit under 200 for the first time since… well, probably 1998. For kicks I tried to take a picture but the scale was acting up and gave me numbers higher than 200. (more…)
