Carb Management and Hypertension

Trying to control a high blood pressure with medication since 2015. October last year I began to tackle my health issues with nutrition and dieting. I'm still trying to lose at least 24 lbs to get to a healthy weight. I've just started another cycle of strict keto dieting. This means less than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. I monitor my blood pressure with a home monitor and an app on my android phone.

It seemed like too long but it finally hooked downward. This is an average line curve so this isn't just luck.

My carbohydrate intake several days before and just 2 days ago I started to implement strict keto (less than 20 grams Carbs) and my average blood pressure goes blue.

I stopped my medications last October. I am not medicating now. I drink garlic ginger tea everyday. But from my perspective it's the carbs restriction that has the biggest impact.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
