KetoChow Sub-Reddit plus a video

This entry is part 112 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

A couple days ago somebody suggested that I create the /r/ketochow subreddit. Soudned like a good idea, so I did it. The community is pretty small still but larger than I thought it would be since I hadn’t linked it anywhere yet. So without further ado: https://www.reddit.com/r/ketochow/

Also I re-shot a video of mixing a batch of Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow. And I started a Frequently Asked Questions section.

 

And a reminder: the 100 days of keto starts January 4!

Hit the big time (not really)

There’s a subreddit called /r/subredditsimulator where automated reddit robots can go around and “play”, generating random posts based on probability. Regular users can’t even post there. Yesterday I hit the big time because /u/keto_ss decided to tag me in a post

I am a bit more willpower than average, so when I ordered the sampler, /u/chrisbair told me to stop drinking water, from nausea to headaches to lethargy.

Don’t know why I would have done that =) Then again, I don’t think robots should drink water so I suppose it’s accurate. The bot has posted other fun stuff like

You have to take a new picture. I’ve tried them all and then reheat them in the oven for a minute or 2 and then gained back 100 lb. It’s easy to make with a food scale, so I am going for.

Ok!

Fun Keto Chow stuff

This entry is part 110 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

Couch Potatoes (who made the “Fat bomb Cheesecake” recipe I did for thanksgiving) just did a video review of Keto Chow. They pronounced it “Definitely not bad” – which is about the same endorsement I got from an 11 year old.

In other news, I’m planning on trying the “Keto Chow pancakes” recipe another user posted on reddit. Good times.

100 days of Keto – starting January 4

This entry is part 2 of 81 in the series 100 days of keto

This was cross-posted to /r/keto earlier this week and I’ve decided I’m going to do it, mostly just for kicks (I haven’t done a “cheat day” since January 2015) but also to get losing weight more better-er. I’m planning on doing a post every day, both here and on /r/100DaysofKeto (in the daily post). Anybody want to join in? There’s more info in the side-bar of https://www.reddit.com/r/100DaysofKeto and the form to sign up is here.

My Graduation Pants are WAY too big

This entry is part 109 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

I was going through my closet last night and an old pair of pants fell out. They’re the Guess jeans I wore the last day of High School – way back in June 1995. Guys signed my year book, girls wrote on the pants. Yes I know, not the best idea. We’re all stupid in retrospect and I really need to throw them away now that they’ve apparently served their purpose (and before my kids read some of the stuff written on them).

Anyhow, I hadn’t looked at them in years and was surprised to find what size they were: 38. I must have carried the weight differently back then because I’m fairly certain I weighed about 220 at the time and 38 is the size pants I was wearing last year when I weighed 250. Decided I might as well try them on one last time and do a “bathroom mirror selfie”

Graduation Pants

Yep. WAY too big! I’m currently wearing 34 and even those are starting to get big. I doubt I’ll ever get to 30 but you never know.
