1 Year of Keto, 77% the man I used to be
I started Keto on October 20, 2014 and started posting my experiences on November 4, 2014. A lot has happened in a year, I’m 77% the man I used to be; so let’s do a retrospective. (more…)
Transition complete: all packages have the vitamins mixed in now
We started adding the vitamins to the mixture about a month ago. (more…)
11 months, DreamForce14 to DreamForce15
11 months ago I attended DreamForce 2014. It was really good. It was also the “the straw that broke the camel’s back” in that the sheer amount of weight I gained during the conference convinced me to make some changes and start Keto. Attached to this post is the headshot taken last year during DreamForce next to one taken yesterday. You can’t see most of my body but I weigh 60 lbs (4.3 stone, 27.2 kg) less now:
It has been interesting (food wise) to be here at the conference. I just bring Keto Chow in insulated flasks since “breakfast” is juice and bread (I could eat the butter), lunch is a tiny bit of meat with carbs that you have to stand in line for, dinner’s on your own – I figure I might as well keep going.
So anyhow, that’s 11 months down; the rest of my life to go!
Redux: What if blaming the obese is blaming the victims?
I’ve posted this before but with the whole “Dear Fat People” video (if you don’t know, consider yourself lucky) I think it should be seen again:
Great NYTimes article by Gary Taubes
Linky: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/opinion/diet-advice-that-ignores-hunger.html?_r=0
As described on Reddit:
An excellent article highlighting the differences between fat and carb restricted diets, and the aftermath when people end them, and the effect that carbs have on increased hunger.
Gary Taubes is the guy that wrote “Why we get fat and what to do about it” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories”
I also found this great (older article): http://www.businessinsider.com/9-lies-about-fat-that-destroyed-the-worlds-health-2013-11
Finished testing changes to Keto Chow recipe
Today marks beginning of an end: all of the Keto Chow I mix from here on out (and actually going back a few days) has the vitamins included in the mixture. (more…)
Couple of changes to the recipe for Keto Chow in testing
I finally got around to grinding up the multi-vitamin into a powder and seeing if it affected the taste of Keto Chow – it doesn’t. (more…)
Great interview with a doctor, she explains how low carb works in simple terms
She’s been doing less than 20g/day of carbohydrates (Keto) for 13 years! She also does a very good comparison of her inability to tan and her tolerance for carbohydrates. Being pale and getting a sun burn doesn’t mean she doesn’t have enough will power – that’s just how her body is.
From the video description:
Nobody knows more about the practicalities of low carb than Dr. Mary Vernon. Here she explains it for you.
Dr Mary Vernon, MD, is one of the world’s foremost experts on treating obesity and diabetes with low carbohydrate nutrition. She is a practicing family physician, educates doctors on low carb and is active in and former president of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (doctors specializing in treating obese patients).
All multivitamins are not created equal
…though I’m sure their mothers love them all very much. (more…)
