Availability on Salted Caramel, Samples, and Sample all the Things! (Caramel on Thursday)

We’re currently out of Salted Caramel in the large 21 meal bags, we are also out of stock on the Sample all the Things! bundles we have been making until we get the individual meals/sample ready, because we only had the mass-produced individual meals/samples for Keto Chow 2.0 available in the Chocolate flavor.

I just talked to the new company we’re using to package the individual meals. They’re currently about half way through the flavors and are hoping to have the rest done early next week. If all goes well, we might have “for realsies” samples available sometime Tuesday evening (don’t hold your breath though). Regardless, next week we should have individual samples ready for sale, both in the bundle and individually!

UPDATE: As for the Salted Caramel weeks, that mixed Friday afternoon, is being packaged, and is scheduled for delivery on Thursday, August 17.

It’s fitting that right as we sold out of the final 22 samples of Chocolate Fudge 1.9, we also got word that 2.0 will soon finally be complete!

Flavor of the Week August 7-August 13: 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. By far it’s our most popular flavor, 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”:

This company is hands down the best company I’ve ever purchased from. They have a fantastic product, incredible customer support, and great response times.

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’ve been using Keto chow for weight loss for around 5 months, it’s been the key to my success. Currently down 35 pounds!

July 31, 2017: Most shipments in one day, in our biggest month ever

Yesterday, July 31 2017, we shipped more packages than any other single day before, it was a record (15% higher than the previous record from a week ago). Granted, if you add together all the orders that came in during our Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale in 2016 there were more orders, but yesterday was the biggest shipping day we’ve had so far… and most of those were ordered before we put Chocolate Peanut Butter on sale! Oddly, it was also the final day of what turned out to be our biggest month ever, both in order total and order numbers. It was even bigger than the customary January spike we get when people decide it’s time to lose some weight for their new year’s resolutions. Frankly it’s amazing we were able to sustain growth mixing the old product the way we were. in the v1.x days Now that we’re getting sizeable shipments of product in, we’re getting closer to the point where we can scale WAY up and not have to worry about running out of product (which is ironic in that: right this moment we are out of stock on Chocolate 2.0). I’m expecting to soon get some actual movement on the samples front too, then we can REALLY go for it!

Now, before you ask how much/many that was, I’m going to be upfront that I’m being “deliberately evasive”. It’s the term I use when my kids want to know a surprise or something that I’m not going to tell them, after a few questions I’ll just say I’m being deliberately evasive and they (usually) let it drop =). Here’s a pretty graph that shows Keto Chow gross sales from launch in January 2015, up through yesterday in July 2017. I’ve very conveniently replaced the numbers with pictures of bananas at random intervals (though I could have left the bottom one alone, it’s 0):

With any luck, by the end of the year, I’ll be exceeding my e-commerce store order “quota” and have to upgrade that again =)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow is back in stock!

Our “supplier” happened to be in the area today so they brought a single pallet of Chocolate Peanut Butter week packages today! It’s not even close to the full order (that’s coming tomorrow or Friday) but it’s enough for you all to get some – so go get it!

Quick note on Chocolate Peanut Butter availability

Our stock of Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow 2.0 ran out over the weekend but we are getting more in later this week. We may get it as early as Wednesday though it’s now looking more likely to be either Thursday or Friday (July 27 or 28). We’re also getting quite low on Chocolate 2.0 and may run out of that just before we get more, which should be sometime next week.

Flavor of the Week July 24-July 30: 10% off sale on Strawberry 2.0

Late last week we received a shipment of Strawberry 2.0 – enough that I think we have enough to do our first sale on 2.0! We’re running a 10% off sale on the 21 meal “week” package (because we don’t have the samples… still) – normally the price is $64.00, with the 10% discount it’s $57.60 – you won’t see it as a separate “discount” in the cart, the price will be lower from the outset.

As far as the Strawberry 2.0 flavor goes, it’s a marked improvement over 1.x. Strawberry Blast 1.x wasn’t really one of my favorite flavors, the consensus was that the flavor wasn’t strong enough – and I agreed. It was an OK base for adding in other flavors but needed more strawberry flavor. With control over flavoring with 2.0 I was able to amp up the strawberry, now it’s similar to the taste of Strawberry Quik (and the additional coloring makes it even look right instead of a pale pink). But hey, you don’t have to take my word for it, check out the reviews of 2.0 Strawberry!

Banana and Mocha arrived, ALL flavors are in stock (in the week bags)

Just got back from picking up Banana, Mocha, and Chocolate Keto Chow 2.0.1 – we were almost out of Chocolate so I’m super excited to be able to say: we have all of the flavors of Keto Chow in stock right now (in the 21 meal “week” bag). Strangely, this is actually the first time we’ve had all of the flavors available at the same time (thanks, vanilla =) – hence the “party” picture. Now I just need to figure out how to get the samples going and things will be awesome!

Vanilla and Salted Caramel Keto Chow 2.0.1 now in stock

This entry is part 97 of 131 in the series Ketogenic Diet

Good news: Salted Caramel is back in stock and we finally have Vanilla available! Both are version 2.0.1 – I’ll get to the minor version bump in a bit.

Following the fun we had with Vanilla before, when we got today’s batch of Vanilla Keto Chow we pulled a bag from each lot and tested them to make sure the viscosity and flavor were correct – they passed! We did the same thing with the Salted Caramel (it’s standard procedure now). Anyhow, today was Vanilla and Caramel; tomorrow we are supposed to be replenishing Banana and Mocha with Chocolate coming Friday or Monday if all goes well. All are a smaller batch to tide us over until they can deliver the full order of 2.0.1.

Speaking of 2.0.1: It’s a relatively minor change, the only difference is a change in the amount of iron – previous versions of Keto Chow provided 100% of the RDI (18mg a day) if you did 3 meals of Keto Chow. This is the recommended amount for pre-menopausal women; but for post menopausal women, or for men, that amount is borderline high. 40mg a day is the short-term upper tolerable limit, but I didn’t want to be causing a slow build-up of iron in men (especially in myself =) if Keto Chow was used exclusively for all meals over months. The downside to this change is that many women will need to supplement their iron using something like this, this, or this in order to prevent anemia if they use Keto Chow exclusively for all their meals. An occasional meal with red meat will also work (and let’s be honest, you could really go for a rib-eye right now – amiright?). The new packaging notes this change, also the packaging is actually accurate now – no more “label correction” sticker!

If you are curious, you can read the entire Keto Chow changelog/version notes – going back to the very beginning with version 0.7 =)

Quick note on flavor availability and stock levels

As I expected, Salted Caramel went out of stock yesterday =( I just got off the phone with the manufacturing place and they’re going to start packaging more Caramel tomorrow (we’ve been working on the next order for quite some time); followed immediately by Vanilla, Banana, Mocha, and Chocolate (which are still in stock but getting low). I’m hoping it goes smoothly and we’ll be restocked on all the flavors sometime in the next few days.
