Intermittent Fasting, Keto and Calorie Deficit

I am tapering my running workouts these past weeks. I am doing 1 to 2 workouts per week, down from the usual 5 workouts. My weight has remained at 74-75 kilograms this December. As the new year enters, I went back to keto. I reduced my carbohydrates to 30 grams and boost my fats to 125 grams. My proteins remained at 90 to 94 grams.

After 3 days of keto, I began my 16-8 intermittent fasting protocol. I eat my breakfast at 6 am and then eat a second meal at 2 pm. My weight began to go down on the 3rd day of my intermittent fasting IF. I am now at 71-72 kilograms after two weeks into this program. 

I am also observing my calories. Making sure I remain in the budget daily. I eat from 1600 to 1660 calories a day. My averages this week for fat is 127 grams. For carbohydrate is 40 grams. For protein is 97 grams. I want to lower my carb average to 30 grams or even lower.

I am happy that my belly is now flat. My waistline is down to 85 cm from 90 cm. I want to tighten it some more with cardio and core exercises.

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:
