To Eat or Not to Eat: My Keto Diet

About six months after deciding on my birthday to switch to a keto diet, one of the most difficult diet plans to maintain, I wanted to check my progress.

First two weeks

Around the first two weeks of the keto diet I was in daily mental torture. I had hunger most of the time. I had very low levels of energy during the day and at the end of it. I felt I could not stand still. Sometimes I lean against the wall of the U-Bahn otherwise I knew I could fall down.

The “Gettin’ used to” period

More and more I did not feel urge to eat as much as I used to.

The temptation period

This is where I started to salivate at the sight of people eating a pizza, or a Croissant Au Beurre. The temptation is strong, especially the smell of fresh baked Croissants in the morning as I walk to the U-Bahn.

The historian period

I call it the historian period, because every time I pass by a bakery or a fast food shop, I silently laugh at the ignorance I was at, and sadly most people still at. It is like reliving memories of the past where I did not care about the nutritional value of the things I ate.

To eat or not to eat

What I eliminated from my nutrition:

  • hydrogenated oils
  • every fucking fried thing
  • all cereals
  • everything artificially sweetened
  • processed meat
  • all fruits except berries
  • Potato
  • carrots
  • beans
  • peanuts

What I allowed myself to eat:

  • all vegetables except mentioned above
  • all types of nuts
  • all types of natural oil: coconut oil, olive oil,
  • Butter
  • goat milk
  • cheese
  • fish
  • meat
  • poultry
  • Berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries

Supplements and special food I included in my keto diet

After a long research on the Internet, I’ve come with the most important supplements for my situation:

keto diet beta carotene
keto diet beta carotene
  • Vitamin C. I needed a natural source of whole vitamin C, and vegan. I am sticking with this product.
keto diet vitamin C
keto diet vitamin C
  • Vitamin D3 with K2 for better absorption. I am using this supplement.
  • Multimineral, without Calcium. I am using this.
  • Salt: no more processed table salt. I switched to himalayan salt. Here is my favourite.

Call Forward And Call Hunt on CUCM

Image
Call forwarding is one of the features of the call coverage in Cisco CUCM. Call Hunting is when CUCM distributes a call on more than one Directory Number (DN), whether consecutively or simultaneously, depending on the algorithm. Hunt Pilot A Hunt Pilot is the entry point for the whole call hunting process. It is hit by a Call. The Hunt Pilot number is a dialable entity and has many similarities with Route Patterns : We can configure Route Filters with Hunt Pilots, Hunt Pilots can Provide Outside Dial Tone , We can set Hunt Pilots with the Urgent Priority flag, They can route or block calls, They can apply Calling and Called Party Transformations. Hunt Lists After hitting the Hunt Pilot, the call is presented by CUCM to the Hunt List. Each Hunt List contains one or more ordered Line Groups. A Hunt List can be pointed by one or more Hunt Pilots. Line Groups Each Line Group contains one or more member (we’ll refer to them as Hunt members, hunt parties or Line Group members). A Line Grou...

Show Voice DSP Commands On Cisco IOS Gateways

Image
This article is a series of IOS commands that deal with DSPs and PVDMs. To determine the type of PVDM in your router:  show inventory Our router is using PVDM3-64. “show voice dsp”, “show voice dsp active” and “show voice dsp voice” “show voice dsp voice” For example, if you have a PVDM3-64 voice card, and you do a “show voice dsp voice”, you’ll get 64 lines, which correspond to 64 DSP voice channels. That’s the maximum allowed with this type of cards. Here is the output of the “show voice dsp voice” command, on a voice gateway: You notice that some channels are “busy” while other are “idle”. We’ve got 64 entries, so all channels of this DSP are used in voice termination. “show voice dsp” and “show voice dsp active” What if we want to see only active DSP voice channels? We can get that information with the command “show voice dsp” or ...

IOS Commands To Verify Voice Ports

Image
show voice port “show voice port” displays verbose information about all the voice ports on a voice gateway. Let’s examine “show voice port” on a E1 PRI gateway: On this gateway, we have two E1 PRI trunks, thus two voice ports. Each voice port is in the form “slot/subunit/port:signaling channel”. In the table that comes after each displayed voice port, we have 31 lines. These are the available channels on each PRI link. Notice that the column “CH” refers to timeslot, and not the channel. The 16th timeslot carries the 15th channel, which is the signaling channel (D channel). show voice port summary This command lists the voice ports and their timeslots combined into one table.
