Vacationing for a week (mostly) using powdered food
This week I’m down in Arches National Park helping my dad do a nighttime photography workshop. (more…)
New video of mixing a week of People Chow
I did a video several months ago on how I mix up a week of the dry ingredients for People Chow at a time. Lots of people liked it (a few didn’t, meh) and a bunch commented on my inability to do math =)
I now present to you, new and improved, better mixing video (more…)
Anniversary – 365 days (mostly) on DIY nutritionally complete “future foods”
On January 13th, 2014 I mixed up my first batch of People Chow 2.3.0 you can read my first blog post about it here. People Chow 2.3 wasn’t very good. (more…)
3 years of powdered food – from People Chow to Keto Chow
On January 13, 2014 I did the first post on my blog about trying nutritionally complete “future foods”. It corresponds to my first submission on Reddit (my reddit “cake day” is January 9, 2014 BTW). The Image up top is of my very first batch of powdered food, People Chow 2.3.0 at the time (I still have all 3 of those blender bottles, used the yellow one yesterday). It’s been an interesting journey. You can read some of my earlier “in review” posts if you want the full story:

3 years ago I weighed 260lbs (I’m 5′ 13″), my low point was at 200 in October 2015. I slacked off and did “lazy keto” without tracking my intake, just sticking to low-carb foods, and you can see that on my graph:
Recently I re-committed to getting back on track for realsies. It’s a bit pathetic: I know exactly what I need to do to lose weight – it’s rather simple so I should just do it, which I am. Since January 1, 2017, I haven’t eaten anything until after I logged it in Cron-O-Meter. Unsurprisingly, it’s working quite well. Guess I should have read my own stuff =) I was at a post-new year’s high of 223.7 and now I’m at 215 after a week and a half.
You can expect to see my weight graph more frequently now as it goes down further (and I’m less ashamed of the trend =). So there you have it: 3 years of blogging about “Engineered Staple Food” aka “soylent” – this post is number 371.
2019 Complete Food Survey
Hey, do you enjoy the convenience that comes with getting 1/3 of your daily nutrition in every meal of Keto Chow? It’s what’s sometimes called a “Complete Food” (though I personally prefer “engineered staple food” but whatever =) – for the last several years there’s been a survey for people that use complete foods – you’re invited to participate in this year’s survey: https://completefoodsurvey.com/ – most complete foods aren’t ketogenic like Keto Chow but we have a huge userbase and tend to skew the results of the survey towards keto diets =)
