42 Days of Keto Chow – Day 05
This is from last night, finished uploading while I was sleeping. We’ll see if I can make videos a regular occurrence for these updates.
Flavor of the Week January 8-14: 10% off sale on Chocolate 2.0.1 week packs
For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Chocolate 2.0.1. Check out the reviews of 2.0 Chocolate!
Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:
I really enjoy the peanut butter chocolate flavor. I tend to get tired of “shakes” for meal replacements, but this one actually tastes delicious so I doubt I’ll be tired of it anytime soon!
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 have been sort of stalled with my Keto progress and the winter holidays weren’t helping. Decided to try Sample all the Things! along with 16:8 fasting to jump start me.
I haven’t tried all of the flavors yet, but I’m really happy with the product so far. I use the shake to break my fast and the mixture of the ‘sweet treat’ indulgence feeling and the ideal macros seems to help me keep calorie intake moderate during my feed window.
After three days of this, experienced a whoosh (sudden drop in weight after a stall)! Feels like I’m back on track, cravings are under control, focused and energetic … all the good things are happening. Once I figure out what flavors I like, I plan to order more to keep on hand.
It’s finally happened: we’re doing advertising for realsies
We’ve had a few ads here and there on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit. We’ve done booths at Keto Con and will be at Breckenridge 2018, plus an appearance at the HVMN get together in San Francisco in a few weeks. Today our ad on the Livin La Vida Low Carb show went live. Best part: I totally got “jimmylovesketo.com”
On a side note, I have 3 suckers subjects that are going to be repeating part of my earlier experiment involving living on just Keto Chow, this time for 3 weeks but importantly, they’ll be doing a week of Keto Chow with Avocado Oil and we’ll see how that affects their triglycerides. I am going to be starting my fatty acids n=1 experiment this Friday with the final test just before Breckenridge, should be cool!

This is by far the best shake I have ever had. I can drink it every day and not get tired of it. I crave it and look forward to having it. It feels like a treat. I blend it with ice and not as much water and use a spoon to eat it like ice cream. I’ve lost 40 pounds since starting keto chow.

I’m a Desk commander, and having these squirreled away in my office has saved me from the abundance of convenience foods in the area more than once.

Love the product, and turnaround and service are bar none the best I’ve experienced.

I have upgraded my previous review now that I have landed on Vanilla as my flavor of choice. it is the easiest to modify with spices or extract. Ive used pumpkin spice extract with a nice effect, and added nutmeg to give a hint of eggnoggy goodness. my last order was 2x vanilla, 1x chocolate, 1x cookies and cream. during the week I have a breakfast and lunch KC and a sensible meal. Only have a breakfast KC on the weekends. it has been 3 months and I have lost and kept off 20lbs. Keto is a lifestyle i can maintain. Congrats Chris!

I’ve tried Soylent (powder and liquid), Schmilk, Jimmy Joy, Feasy, and Keto Fuel. Keto Chow is easily my favorite meal replacement regardless of diet. The flavors are amazing, the texture is perfectly smooth, and the packaging is convenient and really professional looking. If I had any complaint, it would be that some flavors are a bit too sweet for me, but YMMV.
Chris on the C-Realm Podcast, “Keto Chow in the media” page
I was using the website “Live Chat” to talk to a guy that uses Keto Chow, turns out he does a podcast, not one that has anything to do with Keto or nutrition but, well I’ll just quote from his subreddit:
The C-Realm community concerns itself with such topics as peak oil and resource depletion, the manufacture of consent and worldview management by the corporate media, social transformation, accelerating technological development, and the varieties of psychedelic or entheogenic experience.
The podcast I was on was one of his “Members Only” Vault podcasts. After a month or so he posts them to the Internet Archive which is where you can find the interview I did. Added win that he found a screenshot from Futurama of “Batchelor Chow” which is where the “chow” in Keto Chow comes from. Anyhow, check out the podcast.
In other news, I added a “Keto Chow in the Media” page where I can link podcasts like this, news stories, and the like. You’ll find my recent press release about the 4 week experiment there too.
Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin and more) Keto Chow payments expanded
In the past, we’ve had the option of paying for Keto Chow using Bitcoin (BTC) – it’s a pretty manual process where I need to send a payment request via email. Ideally, the shopping cart would have a QR code on the checkout page but the service I was using kept losing payments and was terribly buggy. Yesterday I had a customer ask if we support other cryptocurrencies. We didn’t, but we do now. Here are all the ones we support:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
- Etherium (ETH)
- Litecon (LTC)
- Dash (DSH)
The payment process will stay the same: if you select that payment method you’ll need to message me for the wallet info, I’ll send it over with a QR code you can scan. Once the payment confirms, I’ll change the order status and we’ll ship out your order ASAP (which is typically the next business day unless you do it early in the morning).
N=Me – (week 1 results) 2 weeks of Keto Chow, half heavy cream and half avocado oil
My previous experiment where all of my calories for 4 weeks came via Keto Chow brought out some interesting data in my 3rd week. That week I changed my fat source from heavy cream over to avocado oil, this resulted in some remarkable blood tests. A question arises as to whether my elevated triglycerides, lowered LDL, lowered HDL, and more oddities are a result of the reduced carbohydrates (under 2g net a day average), or the composition of the fats I was eating: Saturated vs. Monounsaturated, vs. Polyunsaturated. I’m planning on doing a more in-depth experiment in early 2018 but this shorter experiment will serve to further solidify a hypothesis and steer the latter test.
I just got back my week 1 blood tests and have those posted on my Experiment Results page. I expect I’ll get the final blood tests on Wednesday of next week.
For the most part, it’s been nice to be back on exclusively Keto Chow. The only real downside is that this experiment falls right in the middle of the run-up to Christmas with the accompanying parties and dinners. That sucks in that I’ve passed on some really awesome Keto food that I normally would have eaten, but what better time of year to skip all that? =)

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like bringing a blender bottle to a big dinner and not eating anything else =).
Flavor of the Week December 11-December 17: 10% off sale on Base Powder
For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Keto Chow Base Powder. What’s “Base Powder”? Check out this post! The short version is: you add a little scoop to your chosen protein powder and it makes Keto Chow, with all the vitamins, minerals, etc… Want to save even more? Order exactly 5, 13 or 18 and get an additional 5% off – this is how many Base Powder packages fit into our standard boxes. If you order 7 or 19 or another number other than those EXACT quantities, you won’t get the 5% (and shipping will cost more).
Here’s the part where I say you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:
Keto Chow is the best keto meal replacement product I have ever tried. And I’ve tried my share. I now need to look no further. These meal replacement shakes are customizable to an individual’s dietary needs, which is very important to some people. The instructions and options were a little overwhelming to me at first but the product was worth it and everything seems so simple now. Keto Chow is my go-to meal every time.
