Keto Success Stories & Experiments

The conference is DONE! We finished last night, packed up, came back to the rental house, washed some stuff while Steve was cooking the steaks we bought on Friday (I had Chocolate Toffee Keto Chow), and then we went to BED. My Oura ring says I slept for 8 hours and 42 minutes. That doesn’t even come close to making up for Saturday night but it’s a start =)

Today we’re driving back home to Salt Lake, I have my 3 meals of Keto Chow mixed up and ready in a cooler with some ice packs. I think the rest of the crew is also drinking Keto Chow for lunch. Anyhow, I’ll be back to high-production-value videos tomorrow =)

We went to a party last night, I drank my Keto Chow on the way to the place. Made not eating the prime rib and keto pasta more bearable.

I woke up with a bit of a headache today. I think I had nearly a full small bottle of the Electrolyte Drops in a water bottle that I keep refilling. Final day of the conference!

Enjoying the conference, haven’t had a chance to watch very many of the presentations because the booth has been crazy busy. I have my food in the sample cooler for today, yesterday Holly and Steve forgot to bring any for them and Steve had to go get lunch. We went to Outback Steakhouse again last night, everyone got yummy meat and I just drank ? – Steve did a shot of melted butter, it was pretty funny.

The 100 days is still going fantastic. It’s been really interesting to talk to people about Keto Chow and how it’s nutritionally complete. Then I tell them it’s the only thing I’ve eaten for the last 2 months, gets about the reaction you would expect! Does give a lot of credibility to what I’m saying though.

Well, another short update. We got in late last night and needed to be at the conference at 6 am. I did bring a bunch of video equipment to the show but I had to run off to the nearest LabCorp right after the conference began to get my weekly blood test.

I also forgot to get some cash for of people want to pay via cash. Bit of an oversight. Right now I’m waiting for a Credit Union to open so I can get some small bills. Fun stuff!

We had to run off quickly this morning to the Carnivore conference. Took the toll turnpike and ended up 45 minutes late. The information presented thus far has been really great. My key takeaway so far is that plants are not your friend and actively work to prevent you from being healthy after devouring them.

I’m still at the same 31 lbs lost. Not too worried. Last night we went to Outback Steakhouse, I had a drink whilst everyone else had steaks. Today at the carnivore conference there was a lunch, I had my Keto Chow ? our friend Siobhan rubbed it in a little.

On the road. I’m actually typing this up Tuesday night so I won’t have to do it while in the car on Wednesday. We did our Facebook live last night, answered a lot of questions, had a good time, enjoyed kicking back and relaxing =)

No idea what my weight will be Wednesday, probably lower than Tuesday but who knows. Anyhow, I should be able to do a better post tomorrow and the video that accompanies this is likely much longer and in-depth. TTFN!

I still ended up eating dinner late last night but I didn’t feel crazy super full all day like Sunday. Looks like I’m down 31.0 lbs as of today. I did take new measurements on Sunday, those are on the Zozo Suit sheet of my blood test results spreadsheet. I expect I’ll be getting my most recent results either Wednesday or Thursday, I don’t know if I’ll be able to update them into the spreadsheet until we get back from Denver though.

I got my teeth cleaned yesterday, I’ve been doing really well at flossing but I also haven’t chewed food hardly at all since my last appointment. They did think I’m a little crazy, but a surprising number of the hygienists and the receptionist there at my dentist office are using Keto Chow, some daily. Anyhow, I had less plaque buildup than normal and my gums were doing much better with very little inflammation at all. I do need to get a crown put onto a tooth that has a filling that’s starting to split.

Tomorrow’s update (and the ones until next Tuesday) may be weird. We’ll be driving to Denver tomorrow, at the Low Carb Denver show Thursday-Sunday, and driving back next Monday. So I won’t have my usual suite of tools and equipment.

It’s rather funny: I usually mention in many of these updates how much weight I’ve lost so far, though that’s not the only thing I’m reporting on each time. Still, anytime I fail to mention how much I’m down, invariably someone posts an almost frantic comment asking how much I’ve lost. Everyone is going to lose, or not lose, at their own pace and according to their personal metabolic state so my results will not foretell how you or anyone else will react.

All that said: welcome to day 62 of my 100 days of only consuming Keto Chow for all my meals. As of this morning, I am down 30.4 lbs – averaging very close to half a pound of weight loss per day. Let’s do a breakdown of how it’s going so far:

• Saturday my blood ketones were at 3.5 mmol/L, my average for the last 30 days is 2.6mmol/L.
• My Ketone/Glucose index average for the last 30 days is 1.7. A ratio of 1 means there is exactly the same mmol/L concentration of glucose and ketones in my blood, you want that number below 1 for treating cancer, epilepsy, and other therapeutic treatments. More info about the glucose:ketone index here.
• I’m down 30.4lbs since the beginning of the experiment, 11.5lbs in the last 30 days.
• I did NOT get enough sleep last night. I woke up early on Saturday and Sunday, based on how bad I’m dragging this morning I think I would have slept until 9 instead of when the alarm went off at 5:20. Looks like I’m averaging 6.48 hours of sleep per night over the last 90 days.
• I finished the day yesterday with 1.8g of net carbs, today I’ll end up with 1.7g.

Speaking of yesterday, I didn’t drink my first bottle of Keto Chow until nearly 3 pm. On a typical nonscience experiment day I probably would have stopped there and not eaten anymore for the rest of the day but I’m tightly controlling variables right now and drank two more, the final one at around 7:45 pm. I REALLY do not like eating that late, and that might have something to do with how tired I am this morning.

Oh, and by the way, “Keto Crotch” is not a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB5idKKh34g
