fasting

And…. done, or at least I will be tomorrow morning at this time. 100 days of eating only Keto Chow for all of my calories. 298 meals (I skipped 2 meals early-on), several gallons of Heavy Cream, bottles of Avocado Oil, 24 sticks of butter. What’s my first meal going to be tomorrow after getting my blood test? Keto Chow. Yep: Day 101 will start with Keto Chow because it’s just so easy to make and take to work, lunch will be chicken wings =) Here is the original post where I laid out my plan: Starting 2019 with a plan.

The scale this morning reported that I’m down 43.6lbs since the commencement of this experiment, I’m optimistic that might hit 44 by tomorrow which will get me to one of my goals. That’d be a fantastic capstone to the experiment.

I’ll get my final blood test tomorrow and will have those results back by at least Thursday of next week. Until then, I do have the results from the most recent test which is the first week of doing butter for both Beverly and for me. It’s very interesting to have n=2 with two very different people (tall dude, short lady). The full results are on the online spreadsheet. Here are the comparison graphs showing how we both have reacted to the different fat types:

We most definitely do not react the same… and yet the trends are doing the same things. MCT oil seems to make both of our triglycerides go up, my increase is more pronounced. Avocado Oil lowers both of our LDL-P and (to a lesser extent) our total cholesterol. I really don’t like the reaction of my HDL to avocado oil though. A 26 is alarmingly low. It’s coming up on butter, we’ll see how the next test goes.

Went down a little more yesterday, I’m now down 43 lbs since starting this experiment. If all goes like it currently is, I might just hit a new goal before I finish this experiment!

We did our weekly facebook live last night, I have the UHD4K recording getting rendered right now, it’ll be posted in a bit. Aside from that, today is all about preparing for the FitCon show that’s coming up later this week. We got new signage and other fun stuff.

I dropped a bit yesterday, as of this morning I’m down 42.4 lbs. Sweet.

People keep asking what I’m going to eat when this 100 days of only Keto Chow are over. I think they are expecting either some crazy feast or for me to say “not Keto Chow!” On Friday morning I’m going to get my final blood test taken, then I’ll have some Keto Chow for breakfast. Lunch will be at Buffalo Wild Wings where they fry their wings in BEEF TALLOW. I’m going to get the dry seasoning traditional wings, they’re 1-2g of carbs. Dinner will be something with the kids, likely the smoked pulled pork from Costco. Saturday we’re going to be at Fitcon in the Keto Chow booth so I’ll be back to drinking Keto Chow for breakfast and lunch, dinner will be at a Churrascaria (Brazilian BBQ). Sunday, back to Keto Chow with brisket for dinner that I bought from https://paizlees.com/– who raises beef in Southern Utah. Monday, probably Keto Chow for breakfast and lunch and steaks for dinner (which will be the norm for the foreseeable future: Keto Chow and meat, all day every day).

Welcome back to me! I had planned to record videos for day 95 and day 96 whilst we were camping but completely forgot. It was actually really nice to unplug – not that we had a chance, we were camping in the middle of Utah’s West Desert with mountain ranges blocking any cellular signal we might have picked up. It was a fun time though, Miriam and Holly were doing a week of carnivore so the meals tended to be amazing steaks, keto pancakes (eggs+cream cheese, covered in whipped cream), roasted chicken thighs, you know – stuff I was not eating at the time. On the other hand, while driving back home I did try Chocolate Toffee Keto Chow that was mixed up with butter for the fat. That was yummy enough that Miriam made sure to make some for her today. My meal prep was insanely easy – gram a pre-made Keto Chow from the fridge. Done. I did help with making meals for everyone else – even managed to burn the back of my right-hand making hamburgers.

OK, so day 97. This morning I mixed up enough Keto Chow to last me through Thursday dinner, which will be the end of my 100 days of eating only Keto Chow for all my meals, the following morning I’ll be getting my final blood test. This morning I hit 40.1lbs lost – that’s cool =)
