Journal entries:
Feb 13, 2024: I have started the Keto diet for about four days now. There were a couple of things that I noticed. The first is that my weight looks like it had gone up. This actually gave me a worrying feeling because I wasn't sure if the change to my current diet may be causing me to not judge the amount of calorie foods that I've been eating. The other thing that I worry about is whether I'm eating a healthy diet.
I'm consuming a lot of meat right now. I'd say at least 3 or 4 lbs of meat. In addition, I am consuming at least two avocados along with spinach and tomatoes.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I stopped eating today at around 4:00PM. I'm considering a one day fast for tomorrow. the fast would include coffee with splenda (sweetener), and dry cream (about 50 cals per cup. I normally use a lot of dry creamer). In addition, I may or may not include tomatoes and spinach. I will also prep by bringing two avocados and a can of tuna or chicken. I will see if I can fast until around 6:30PM but I have my doubts that would be possible. I would be purely doing it to see if I can do it but it may also help me to judge what I would feel like if I started limiting my foods.
I'm also going to use my faith to help aid in the Keto diet following heavy prayer to help motivate myself. Although not everyone who sees this journal is religious, I think it's important to emphasize that prayer could be used as a motivator. Attending a church and then using prayer on the side could distract thoughts about food. It will be an interesting experiment.
I also got some ketone test strips. Unfortunately, I picked up a book (I'll list the books that I'm reading at the end of the Journal soon) says that these test strips are inaccurate and it sounds like ketones shouldn't leak out anyway. Nevertheless, we'll see what they say anyway. I will not depend on them as data for the diet.
This ends the journal for today 2/13/2024.
February 14, 2024 - Ash Wednesday
This morning, I came across a video called Food Theory: I Quit Sugar for 30 Days! by The Food Theorists. In this video, I learned about how sugar can affect the body. After about six minutes into the video, I began to understand that the affects of sugar for sweetness can be found in many things including sweeteners. Living on a diet for those with type-two diabetes could be most effective for those avoiding sugar but I also consider the thought that maybe even sweeteners may be enabling those with type-two diabetes to feel the need to consume foods that may further exasperate their symptoms. For me, the thought of giving up anything sweet including my sweeteners feels like a lot. But at this time of lent, I feel that maybe Gods message to me is that I should be willing to give up these things. At 4:00PM on 2/13/24, I finished my last large meal for the day. This morning 2/14/24 at around 6AM, I had four coffees with Stevie and about 2 tablespoons of dairy-free powder creamer. After church service at around 6:45PM, I had consumed about two avocados, a can of chicken, two avocados and two quest protein bars. My experience at about 6:30PM was that I felt hyper. This may have been brought up by the church service and finding out that I would be taking a beginners class soon. I believe that this type of fasting could work but because I consumed so much (about 1,000 to 1,500 calories in a single sitting), I don't think it is a healthy way to eat food. Considering this, I will continue to monitor the possibility of using a lesser restrictive form of fasting with this Keto diet and focusing on low-carb foods to see how this benefits me. I would like to add that I only had a couple of the feeling of hunger at around noon and later in the day that only lasted 30 minutes at most. I believe that this might be from the thought of food and not something in my body triggering the response of needing food. But I could be wrong.
Tomorrow (2/15), I plan to include some eggs and meat along with my normal coffee routine in the morning followed by a large quantity of vegetables in the afternoon. I will try the keto strips again but based on what I've read, I don't think there's any benefit using them. If anything, I should not be eliminating anything onto the strips.
Nonetheless, the purpose of this keto diet is to consume and not eliminate sugar. According to my research and the book that I've been reading, it is ok to consume < 10g of sugar and <50g of sugar for those that exercise. Although, the book also says not to over exercise. Therefore, I will be following this plan for the next six months of lent.
February 15, 2023:
I decided to have a single egg and a medium to small amount of turkey meat (the amount you'd typically see on a large sandwich). Additionally, I am having up to four coffees with powdered creamer each(I tend to use a lot). I anticipate the total calorie count for the meal is probably: Turkey (160), egg (78), creamer (20 to 30 each per coffee): 398. Additionally, I will have a cup of small tomatoes (25), box of spinach (45) totaling for the day of about 468 calories. Depending on the whether I do the hike or not this evening, I may be able to subtract up to 400 calories from that number bringing me back to 68 calories. However, if I do the hike then I will definitely be adding the quest bar which is about 180 calories to this count and finally, I will have a small dinner containing some kind of meat and dairy free coffee. Also, I checked my weight this morning and it looks like I had lost 6lbs and am on the path of losing weight. My mental health is also doing well after the light breakfast.
February 16, 2024
Yesterday, I concluded with a medium meal containing mainly meat and yogurt. I also did a hike up Cowles mountain that took a little over an hour to complete. This morning, I was about 203 lbs and I did have some ketones. From what I've read, it's usually not good to have ketones. However, the hike and the low sugar diet may be causing the ketones. Less than a year ago, I had some blood tests done including a GFR. My doctor was able to test above >90. Normally these tests only check for kidney failure. All tests showed that I did not have any indicators of health problems w/o medication.
This morning, I had two cups of coffee. At least 4g of carbs, 0g of sugar were in the coffee creamer and sweeter. I'm finding that avoiding carbs is extremely difficult as anything that is sweet could contain carbs and most things do contain carbs. It sounds like carbs can break down into sugar over time. I'll continue this day focusing mainly on the food items shown in a few of my keto books. I do not plan to hike since I have a big day today.
February 17, 2024 - 6:31PM
Today has possibly been my best day yet. Last night, I used one of the ketone strips and I noticed that were was some ketones indicated by the strip. In fact, it seemed like there was a lot more. I don't know what triggers that. Through out today, I've mostly been living off of coffee w/ splenda + dry creamer/almond milk and sugar-free sports/energy drinks. I started off with black coffee to try to stay faithful to lent but in the afternoon I began adding to my coffee and then eventually I added the other drinks. My throat has been a bit dry. I should try drinking water and adding more water next time. This evening, I had a fish salad, tuna salad, and avocado. I do not plan to add anything else. The journey using lent has really helped to keep my mind focused on this diet. While I don't think I'm close to what someone following a keto diet would follow diet wise, I do feel that I'm doing a lot better incorporating more foods with fat and eliminating foods with sugar. My plan is to end the day with water since I feel like I've really neglected this part of the diet. I also need to be conscious about the amount of calories I'm taking since it's just as important that I take on calories as it is that I follow the plan, if not more important. I'll concentrate on this as well. I do have hard-boiled eggs if I feel like having a late-night snack.
Also, mood wise is something I'm not sure of. I don't think the diet has done too much to my mood but I'll have to wait and see if my overall mood has been more stable.
February 19, 2024
I had two eggs this morning. This afternoon I will be doing my hike up Cowles Mountain while also practicing my light Keto diet. I will also remember to incorporate water into my diet.
Following the hike, I had a medium chicken salad and tuna salad that evening at 6:00PM. Prayer is incorporated.
February 20, 2024
The plan for Tuesday is to have some coffee with splenda and powdered creamer, followed by baby tomatoes and a box of spinach in the morning/afternoon. I'm not sure what I'll have that evening and I will not be hiking since it's going to rain. I also need to remind myself to drink water.
February 21, 2024
Today is Wednesday. There's going to be some activities at the 1st Lutheran church today so I had some hamburger meat this morning. Additionally, it is expected to rain today so I won't be doing my hike later in the afternoon. I had a moderate amount of ketones measured today. Last night, I was having trouble sleeping so I also incorporated some peanut butter. There does not seem like any other noticeable changes.
February 23, 2024
I've created the following Playlist containing videos of people who are using the Keto diet to stabilize mood and health. This morning I had a couple avocados. Followed that evening by some fish and chicken salad. Additionally, I hiked up cowles mountain. There was some ketones detected. Overall, I should focus on the amount of food eaten and the types of drinks consumed. I only touch zero calorie drinks but I do drink a lot including zero-colas.

February 24, 2024
I had an avacado this morning followed by a hike up Cowles mountain. In the afternoon, I also had some chicken. In the evening, I had some hamburger meat mixed with a can of vegetables and potatoes. It's unknown how this is helping mood wise. My weight seems to also stayed the same. I'll talk a little more about this next.
I also picked up a couple of library books about Keto. In total, I have selected the following books to read for this and next month:

February 25, 2024
Today is Sunday. I plan to have a small meal this morning and then head to Church.
My other activities include a book-reading group at the 1st lutheran church and a new members course which talks a little about the history of the Lutheran church and their beliefs. The book-reading group is quite interesting. The book we've chosen talks about someone experiencing all walks of religion. She begins in Hawaii where she found an alter that was created by someone sometime. She compares the alter to Jacobs ladder (from the bible) where Jacob was resting somewhere and he had a vision or dream where he saw angles climbing up and down this ladder entering and exiting heaven. I've compared heaven as a literal location on earth. For me, the two locations would be the Church itself (sanctuary) and Cowles mountain (the act of climbing the mountain). It's these two spots where I feel close to God. I've also experienced God in my car, at home, and at work. The author also talks about the feeling of being in her skin. This means appreciating her body, the shape, and so on. I thought about this for awhile. It's true. Everyone has a look that they can appreciate for themselves. They can use God to help them to achieve that appreciation. But looks can also be used to determine the health status of someone. I don't think enough of this is done in this world. For example, someone who is obese can have an increase change of developing heart failure, metabolic conditions, and cancer. So looks is a good reference for us to keep us in check. Nonetheless, unless someone is extremely absorbed in their looks or if others are using looks against someone in a mean spirited way, we should redirect that train of thought and consider looks as a means to determine our health status maximizing any parts that we feel comfortable with doing.
Finally, I've been learning about the new members group at the church and what I've come to realize is that while I've been attending this group, I've had very negative feelings. I feel this is in part due to my restrictions which I've been practicing that could be altering my mood. This Sunday, I wrote a reminder for myself. The reminder goes as follows "I need to remember that the people in the church are doing a lot for me and I can relax on my criticism of the things I'm encountering because they will love me no matter what". With this reminder at hand, I have learned to work on my mood which has gotten pretty negative these past couple of weeks. This is in part, part of my personality but it could also be due to the foods I've eaten. I've included a part of my baptism record below which I wanted to share because I am proud of my baptism and the message means a lot for me. I thank everyone in the church including the pastor for being there for me.
Today as I write this at 12:43PM, I plan to hike up and down Cowles mountain. I will then consider something within the scope of Keto to have this day.
February 26, 2024
Today's diet consisted of a bowl of tomatoes, a box of spinach, a chicken breast, two eggs, coffees with a half cup powder creamer, and other zero- sugar sports and energy drinks. My mood levels have been a mix. The ketone strip did not indicate any ketone. I found this video interesting which talks about cholesterol on a keto diet.
https://youtu.be/0dAeX7jp3YI?si=-FEiuIUAxL8e_ohN
Interesting enough, I did not feel a need to eat much today. However, I also did not do any physical activities today. My thoughts are that the prayers are helping me through this process. I've also woried about how others feel about the legitimacy of my baptism record not wishing to dirty it up with more religious decrees(?). When I had visited another church, I had believed I needed to be re-baptised under their church to become a member. The Lutherans say that puts doubt in one's mind and I hadn't realized it at the time but I understand now that it had affect me and even traumatized me. So I'm definitely paranoid when it comes to adding to my religion and this and the restriction on my diet has affected me adding to my mix of moods today. I used to eat a lot of bananas, fruit, and some sweets. My plan tomorrow is to continue with the restrictive diet, physical activity, and incorporating prayer and the lent booklet along with a religious book into my diet. I will probably incorporate meat, eggs, and other stuff to my diet.
February 27, 2024
Today I decided to break from my diet and eat more than I usually do including about five protein bars, a hotdog, cookie, chicken, meat, and fish. This decision was based on finding that my mood was not improving and I was getting a little irritable. I find that I get that way when I start to focus on limiting my diet and/or when I'm starving myself. Monday was pretty bad because I believe I did eat less than 1100 calories that day. I also incorporated my hiking today. I wanted to also share my hiking websites here.

(Sorry for the large link :( I just cant figure out how to copy links from my new phone.).
https://www.facebook.com/JeremiahONeal.mronealsubaru?mibextid=ZbWKwL -My social media where I post photos almost daily on my hike up and down cowles mountain and other hikes/jogs.
Todays hike also went well. It takes me about 30min hiking up Cowles mountain and 37min going down Cowles mountain. I have also jogged up Cowles mountain and that can take 25 to 27min.
February 28, 2024
I felt much better today after having a little more food than I felt I needed. This included Starbucks fancy drinks, hot dogs, bananas, protein bars, and diet soda. I also jogged for about 30 min and walked for 15 min. I also visited the 1st Lutheran church where I learned more about the Lutheran religion. As a christian, I could feel an understanding between what I believe and how the church teaches belief. For example, I've come to terms that I can pray anywhere and God will be with me and be there for me. The pastor made use of an example where Jesus was there to protect the pastor from harm while taking on the death of his own life. This was quite interesting. The Greeks torture methods were quite surreal. To imagine the process devised by the Greeks came to be a great example of the eminence force they had on people was quite brutal. This of course is not the most devious torture device. A great one involved forcing people to drink milk and honey. The person was then strapped to a boat to rot. As you can imagine, almost anything could happen in that state. Either way, religion has become a great tool to help me progress through this project.
February 29, 2024
One thing I've been finding out myself, and I feel it's important that I be truthful, is that I have a difficult time when it comes to change. For example, when it comes to my religion, I feel that my baptism record is perfect (the one I posted above), and I fear that I could somehow make it imperfect by amending to it such as in the case when the Latter-Day Saints wanted to re-baptize me. It could have changed my connection to my God entirely. But I'm also an atheist and my beliefs in atheism brings be comfort. It wasn't until recently when I started communicating with God when I started having both a connection to my faith through my baptize record and my atheist views. My belief is that trauma is the cause to how I've developed my views. For example, in 2021, I used to be 350lbs at my heaviest weight. This was probably caused by my low feeling of self-worth. But I've also had experiences before this where I had an extremely difficult time finding work right after getting my degree in 2009 and before that when I was struggling in college. I wrore a lot about my experience which was actually traumatic in a book I wrote called Sufficiently Educated here (https://zenodo.org/records/7783660/files/Sufficiently_Educated_Book.pdf?download=1) But on top of that, I've discovered that my experience in the Lutheran church was not good. When I was in Sunday School, I was yerning to be with my grandfather who was in the main part of the church but even before that, I found out that my father was having a difficult time mentally and was actually under the influence when I was a couple months to possibly a few years old. For example, he was intoxicated on drugs and would shake the trashcans at night. This was during a time when my mother was trying to divorce him. This may actually be the reason why I do not do any alcohol or drugs because I may have felt that these two things lead to harm. I'm pretty onguard and I have a difficult time putting my trust into things to the point where any change makes me extremely upset. Through out this journey, I have felt upset a lot. I feel that I fail a lot and that is because I'm not trying hard enough. When I was hiking back down Cowles mountain, I thought about this. I prayed while reading the lent journey booklet. The message I received from God was that I need to be honest about myself and be upfront to those helping me in the church. Not hiding these things. zenodo.org/records/7783660/files/Sufficiently_Educated_Book.pdf?download=1
March 1, 2024:
Today, I watched another video by Living Well with Schizophrenia titled Another Honest Update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuNdaZoPVZU What I found fascinating from this video was that Lauren was doing quite well using Keto to manage her symptoms. I've been practicing a light form of the Keto diet along with Lauren for about two weeks now. The past three days had been extremely difficult for me and it started when I was having a hard time sleeping. I felt the need to get a sugar rush to get me through the day. This is somewhat of a coping mechanism for me as well since I feel that I need something sweet as well to feel happier. While this does gradually push me away from my goal on staying within a boundary of Keto, I find that unlike in Lauren's case where she's doing it to get off her meds, my case does not really require much motivation. For example, I actually feel better with the rush of sugar and that can progress throughout the day. That lack of motivation can cause me to question myself about the benefits of the Keto diet. But until I'm staying on the Keto diet for long enough, I won't have anything to base my own personal experience on. 40 days is used in my case because even two weeks of a change in habits can lead someone to stick to their habits for a long period of time. I'm using lent in this habit forming experience as an excuse to see if I can create a change that can persist for even longer than 40 days. I do know that based on the experience I'm hearing from Lauren that she will probably also stay on her version of medical Keto for a long period of time and so this gives me the chance to try Keto for a longer period of time as well. The experience in the end should be quite interesting. Also just to note, depending on how this goes for me, I may continue to write my journal on the diet for as long as I do the diet.
March 2, 2024:
I had a pretty bad experience yesterday. I had a large burrito, rice, a coffee with sugar, and two cookies, in addition to everything else that I had. I'm going to change things up a bit today. I will try to consume low sugar and low carb foods by consuming Keto friendly protein bars for my sugar addiction and meat and avocados for the Keto diet in high amounts (when I feel the need to eat). I'm also going to jog around Fiesta Island for 30min instead of hike this afternoon and I'll try to consume a lot of water. I'm hoping this combination will put me back into ketones and this trend will continue this and next week. I also need to continue focusing on prayer before I consume foods again. This helps me to concentrate on the foods I am eating. It's also a very good dieting strategy since it motivates focus.
This evening, it occurred to me through a new members class that I am taking that the author of the pamphlet we're working with made it sound like baptism should not be offered to children whose families do not continue to take part in church. I'm not sure if that's exactly how it was worded. I had come to the realization tonight how scared that would be for me. I said, emotionally, that I did not want to be with the devil. In my baptism record, it says (and I'm bolding the parts I feel that are important): Your heavenly Father willed that you not remain dead in trespasses and sin but come to new life in Him. In obedience to our Lord's command you have received Holy Baptism so that by the power of the Holy Spirit through water and the Word you might obtain the forgiveness of all your sin, deliverance from spiritual death and the devil, and the gift of eternal salvation. By Baptism God has made you a member of the holy Christian church, and His church, in turn, has acknowledged its responsibility for your further growth in Christian faith and knowledge and for your continued spiritual welfare. I've reluctantly said in the past that if I were sentenced to a life in hell, I would not only deserve it, but I could stand it as well. In reality, I would be so scared to be in a place like that and it's through my past trauma that causes me to believe that. I do believe that people have been traumatized in church and some develop riskily behaviors. The 40 days of lent has been quite hard for me both mentally and spiritually but I can only imagine how hard it was for Jesus. I will be sure to continue to pray and get past my Atheism views which I now understand is a result of trauma.
March 3, 2024:
Today's diet went ok. In addition to eating a lot of chicken, milk (for coffee) and protein bars, I did have some sugar and pasta. Hopefully, I will begin to break some of these habits and work on consuming only Keto friendly foods. The test strips have not shown any ketones. In addition, it is very important that I follow through on everything from here on, no matter what. That would mean not making a concern over some of the things I've posted including yesterday. I've kept those things here for now in order to reflect on them just as I kept a photo of the old me on this website here: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/author/jeremiah-oneal/ It's not because I am ashamed of myself but because I want to be able to look at my past self and understand how much I've improved on since the weeks and years of my life. This is a part of me that makes me proud to be who I am.
March 4, 2024:
Today's diet is doing fairly well. I have not seen any indications of ketones. However, I am still trying to stick to an all meat diet. I did consume roughly 700 calories worth of protein bars. But I also stuck to about 1,400 calories worth of meat/fish and 200 calories worth of coffee (creamer) followed by about 100 calories worth of vegetables. I also hiked up and down Cowles mountain. I should really consider if the amount of foods that I'm eating is excessive and not just the types of foods. Since this is well above a 2,000 calorie diet; I think there's areas for improvement and I think that needs to start with the bars that I'm eating since they really aren't that healthy. I've read that protein metabolizes into sugar eventually and is that really what I need is a lot of sugar? I think one bar would have been better. In any case, my prayers aren't working as they used to as well. Not the answers to my prayer but the frequency and time when I'm doing these prayers. I would like my prayers to happen in order to focus on this project. Instead, I'm worrying about everything except for this project. This isn't good and while God is going to be there for me especially when I feel like I'm failing, a lot of the stuff that I'm doing can happen from my end and I can do better by being direct with God. I'm going to try to make my goal to stop worrying about learning about the Lutheran religion and my baptism and my faith and only focus on my goal for lent starting now.
March 5, 2024:
Today's diet will consist of about two coffees with Splenda and low fat milk/creamer, two eggs, a box of spinach, and a box of tomatoes. In addition, I plan to have some chicken and possibly one or two protein bars in the afternoon followed by my hike. Also, apparently something big is going to happen in PCUSA GENERAL ASSEMBLY (https://www.pcusa.org/news/2023/4/19/committee-on-the-office-of-the-general-assembly-op/), I am pro-LGBTIQ btw. I believe that when inclusiveness is practiced that it allows people that may not have the same views of those with an 'in' to the church to be allowed to practice and take part within religious organizations. People like GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic who were traumatized early in their church lives leading this person's family to believe in other things such as pyramid schemes which financially drained them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7urcE4IwMf0 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7urcE4IwMf0
www.pcusa.org/news/2023/4/19/committee-on-the-office-of-the-general-assembly-op/
If you're interested to know on the specific views that I have on inclusiveness, you should check out my book, https://www.sufficientlyeducated.com/ The physical book is about $9.00 and there is also a free digital book on the same website. I also have the manuscript available here https://github.com/S7argazer/SE-Published_Book On that website (GitHub)The manuscript is licensed under Attribution 4.0 International so you're more than welcome to use any of it for yourself. I just happen to sell physical copies of it as well to get the word out since I feel it has some good ligament work. (I'm a cyber security professional, not a book writer so I'm not interested in making money off this knowledge).
March 6, 2024:
In the morning, I will have some coffee with milk/powder creamer and splenda or sugar-free syrup. In addition, I may have some meat. Then I have a box of spinach and tomatoes. After this, I will do a jog for about 30 min around Fiesta Island. I plan to meet one or more church people at 4:30PM this day to do some walking and then after this I may have soup or anything else they may have. At the end of the night, I will follow this up with my prayer and lent journey reading. I may or may not consume additional foods throughout the day.
Some things I need to focus on is being a little more mindful on the amount of foods that I'm eating and I need to put batteries in my scale and keep track of my weight again. I'm hoping that my weight hasn't gone up +2 to +4 lbs during the time my scale hasn't been working but maybe it has not.
March 7, 2024
I didn't get much sleep so unfortunately, my dieting did not go so well. This morning, I had at least four coffees with splenda, sugar, and milk. After this I had about 4 or 5 protein bars and then this evening I had some sugar enriched ice coffees and a burrito. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to make it up with hiking. I did speak to someone about a concern I had. Basically, I brought up the following letter
which talks about my concern. I've removed all personal information from the letter and I'm not including the wording from the response but I felt pretty good. My concerns have pretty much been remedied and I'm reading to move forward with my religion and beliefs.
March 8, 2024
Today, my plan is to try to fast until 3:45pm. With the exception of coffee with powder creamer and splenda, I will make an effort to not consume any foods and only drink water. This fasting period will measure my discipline in order to determine what is achievable for myself. Following the fasting period, I will consume one item, then at 6:00, I will have a meal of my choosing. In addition, I will focus on heavy prayer. Basically, I will pray more than I do. I'm also planning to hike cowles mtn.
Today's plan worked out well. I had a couple coffees both hot and cold with milk and a sugar-free flavor. At the night, I had an avocado, two nicks bars, a small shrimp and medium chicken salad and a few free treats. I prayed to God. In my prayers, I determined the following: That this day went well and that I will need to repeat this day once more for Saturday. So for Saturday, I need to maintain only having coffee with a sugar-free option and milk. That evening, I may incorporate my meal for the day and if I need to thought I did not need to this day, I will include a single protein bar or source. I will also do either a hike or a jog. I will try my best to make it the best jog I can possibly do on average of what I normally try for.
March 9, 2024:
Following a short visit to the library, I plan to do a physical activity which will likely involve jogging for 30min around Fiesta island and maintaining some other physical activity. I will also include coffee as usual and will fast once again.
Tonight went fairly well. I had a couple coffees with milk and I had one cookie. That evening, I jogged for about 30min. In the evening, I had about three avocados, two protein bars, chicken, fish, and potatoes. Tomorrow I will probably go back to a normal eating schedule. I do need to remind myself to drink more water throughout the day. I also had two bananas

Today I plan to have a quick breakfast, coffee, and then head to church. Afterwards, I may do some walking and then some work or a meal. In addition, I'm probably going to gradually go off the Keto diet in about a week or two and switch back to my original diet. The diet that I had been on (I've posted a photo of the form I use to track my diet) started in around January of 2024. It consisted of all the foods I enjoyed and I could easily track these foods by marking the points in the little squares at the bottom. For example, my coffees in the morning usually consisted of three coffees with a lot of powdered creamer. I would put four (x) marks in the squares at the bottom. You can see on the form that I've already marked one of the squares. My keeping track of the foods I was consuming this way, I knew exactly how much I was having through out the day and could limit my diet to under <2,300 calories per day. I also factored my hiking with these points and if I didn't want to hike, I would simply check about six boxes which I estimated to roughly the amount of calories I had not burned. I could also estimate other food items as well using this chart. For example, an avocado was roughly 230 calories and a banana was 110 calories. So I could mark 4 boxes instead of 2 in order to indicate how many calories I had consumed. All of the foods below are great items for health. I've done some research and the bananas and eggs alone contain a lot of the macros that are needed for a proper diet. I've also worked with this chart for many months and I've had a lot of great results. Keto on the other hand has a set of issues. Like I was saying, if a banana contains 110 calories and an avocado contains 230 calories then that really leaves less on the menu overall. With obesity being the main problem, considering a diet that works to lose weight vs a strategy that may work for some but can be hard to follow for others might not be ideal. There's clearly a balancing act. Have you ever been invited to be a guest just to have a plate of food placed in front of you? The craving for some may be so overwhelming that they may be tempted to have the same large plate tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. I always say my body is my temple. Keep it holy by placing only the foods you want into it. Your mouth is your door into the temple. Close it, don't let anything through when it violates your temple. With that in mind, remember too that sometimes the temple becomes too corrupt. When that's so, have a medical expert deep clean the temple. If your primary doctor can help. Consider now googling your BMI. If you're under, do talk to your doctor. If you're overweight, try changing things up a bit. Since I've never been underweight, I've never had that experience so I'm not sure where I could help. But in any case, basically, my plan going forward is to gradually get off Keto and back to my original diet.
March 8, 2024
Today, my plan is to try to fast until 3:45pm. With the exception of coffee with powder creamer and splenda, I will make an effort to not consume any foods and only drink water. This fasting period will measure my discipline in order to determine what is achievable for myself. Following the fasting period, I will consume one item, then at 6:00, I will have a meal of my choosing. In addition, I will focus on heavy prayer. Basically, I will pray more than I do. I'm also planning to hike cowles mtn.
Today's plan worked out well. I had a couple coffees both hot and cold with milk and a sugar-free flavor. At the night, I had an avocado, two nicks bars, a small shrimp and medium chicken salad and a few free treats. I prayed to God. In my prayers, I determined the following: That this day went well and that I will need to repeat this day once more for Saturday. So for Saturday, I need to maintain only having coffee with a sugar-free option and milk. That evening, I may incorporate my meal for the day and if I need to thought I did not need to this day, I will include a single protein bar or source. I will also do either a hike or a jog. I will try my best to make it the best jog I can possibly do on average of what I normally try for.

Today I will be working on my new diet consisting of the foods from the list above. This morning, I'm having two coffees and then I will probably grab a Starbucks Americano with Almond milk or a Starbucks brown sugar shaken espresso (7/32). I also have two 'Nicks Bars(about 3pts each) (13/32).

I didn't have a chance to fill out this form from yesterday (It's Thursday the 14, while I write this right now), so I'll just quickly sum the day up. In the morning, I had Coffee (3/32), Starbucks Brown Sugar Shaken Expresso (6/32), A Starbucks "Power bar" (11/32), some meal that I got with my friend at Panda Express which had meat, (15/32), an egg roll(19/32), a cookie and some sugar packet (22/32). I also jogged for 30min and walked for about 40min. That evening I also had soup (26/32), and a lot of sweets (42/32). Sweets is my main crutch at the moment. and I need to drink more water.
March 14, 2024:
Todays day is starting strong with coffee (4/32), Starbucks Brown Sugar Shaken Expresso (6/32), Two nicks bars, (11/32) A few sweets (20/32), few coffees (30/32), and a few bananas (38/32) and Chicken (47/32)
March 15, 2024:
I have been thinking a lot about Christianity today and part of yesterday and whether or not the things in the New Testament align with me or if I feel that more than likely that Christianity had been used as a weapon against the Jewish people, and others throughout time to attack them for the faith that they followed. Everything from the crusades up to the concentration camps really makes me question whether or not I feel that the intent of Christianity is a good thing or not. Like the Mormons who created a religion to place Joseph Smith above all else. I do believe that there is something good in everyone. Whether or not I want to continue on that track is another thing. Given the option, I would rather attend the Lutheran Church not as a confirmed member but as someone learning about the faith to determine if what I'm believing at this time is true or not. But at the same time, I should really start to look at Judaism and see if their religion more closely reflects my beliefs in what most likely happened. Nonetheless, I do feel that some sects(?) of Judaism and the Lutheran Church (minus the anti-semitism part). A final path that I can take would be to revisit Athiesm.
I've also thought about maybe the possibility that I may feel guilty because my distant g-erman heritage and because even earlier (4th gen?) ancestors in my tree had slaves. This guilt that I hold may be causing me to feel responsible for my decision to call myself a Christian and therefore wanting to push away from the name and learn about the people that were always under attack like they talk about in the old testament. Additionally, I do agree that people have had Jesus experiences but I also feel that for those people, they hit the bottom of their barrel and when they turned to religion and learned about the story of Jesus, every better than where they once were experience could only be attributed to Jesus and not simply getting out of the rut which I believe is more likely. For example, a man name John Doe falls down a pit. This pit represents the bottom of the barrel. John Doe picks up a leaflet and in the leaflet it talks about a wizard name Froboz. Suddenly, John Doe finds a rope and pulls himself up. The next day, John Doe trips and falls on the floor, while John Doe is pushing himself back up, John is thinking about Froboz and wondering if it were Froboz that helped John to push himself back up just like it was Froboz that helped John find that rope. See what I'm getting there? I cannot believe that Jesus was there at my worst time because I know that to think that would mean that anytime I'm having a bad time, I'm thinking about Jesus. But I can believe that God helped the people of Israel to get through the troubled times they were having being enslaved and starving and lost. I can say that God was there for them because they believed that God was there for them. I can also say that I can pray to God and that God will be there for me because like the people back then, I can find comfort in those things. The distinguish then is why is it different for Jesus in my opinion? Mainly because while the people of Israel called to God, I feel that Jesus said that he was God and called to them. I believe in the former that we should call for help and not the other way around. This is a choice that I need to make and I need to be assured that I feel comfortable with what I decide to believe in.
Theres also a feeling that maybe I'm rushing things because I am in the Lutheran membership class and that possibly Im feeling like I did when I was attending the Mormon church on Fairmont Ave. that I am making a quick decision that is deciding on what I ultimately believe. This video here https://youtu.be/6uicAn4l9z4?si=_Wg7t3Xf6C38CJjC&t=2090 is reminding me of that experience.

If anyone is struggling with religion or even needs to take a break, find other things to believe in, the following video above was done really well.
I've come to the realization through this journey that my religion and responsibilities have started to cause some problems. I feel at this time that I need to back away from religion and focus on my responsibilities of finding a job with decent pay. That's not to say that I need to quit religion. I will still practice it at the 1st Lutheran church. I have met some wonderful friends there and I intend to stay with the church but also focus on my career as well.

There comes a time when people may have their own personal differences from what they hear about. It could be the way of dieting or the way of faith. In my personal situation, due to very bad abuse within my family, some of it which I've written in a book called sufficiently educated, these events influenced the way of my believing and some of my influences I feel may have created an episode that others feel could be handled differently if only I wanted to listen to those differences. I would like to get this message heard that I truly feel that when someone is in a situation, sometimes I feel it is best not to rush the person. They may not be ready on May 2, 2024. Maybe waiting until May 2, 2025 (1 year later) may be better suited for that person. Think about all the cases you've been through. Maybe you felt that the doctor rushed you to a diet. Your lipid panel might not look good. But given time, you may come to realize that you can listen to that doctor. You may not have been in that situation a year ago but you are ready now. That's how I feel. I'm not quite there but I know I will be. I want to comment also that I am very blessed to be part of the 1st Lutheran church. It's so amazing and the friendships I've made has also been amazing. I'm looking forward to the week and the weekend. My diet wasn't too good this day. I had three Starbucks drinks totaling around 570 calories and then five protein bars totaling around 950 calories. I also had a great soup and salad which probably came to around 500 calories. Of the meal that I had, it was the soup that was the most healthiest. Hopefully I can do better tomorrow.

There was a story about a couple and a drunk driver who was also attending a college. The drunk driver killed the couple. She was very unremorseful and victim shaming. She got 7-years each (the max sentence possible). When she got out. She graduated college. But when she walked, none of her classmates wanted to be there with her.
Remember, the pain these victims (the couple) went through. Whenever you're asking people to forgive a person for their actions. You may just as well be asking them to continue living on with the PTSD while letting the perpetrator go off with a mere slap on the wrist. You are essentially driving that stake through the victims wrist over and over and over again.
It reminds me of the quote, So give what is Caesar's to Caesar and give to God what is God's. Therefore, I'd respond saying, let Jesus forgive those who commit acts of great harm and let the people go on with the peace whatever they feel is owed (including what is forgiven or not forgiven).

This update is going to go detour into a different direction than what the main topic of this journal is about. About a week ago, I was talking to people about the idea of forgiveness. This is a group of people that I had been with for some time. Then, just yesterday and today, I decided to do my own research on the topic. I came across this article https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1150626/jewish/Am-I-Wrong-To-Forgive-a-Murderer.htm To some, the forgiveness of a murderer is tolerable, others see the forgiveness from the eye of the victim. As I contemplated on the idea, I began to form a conclusion on the topic. While both sides may not seem unreasonably wrong, I felt personally more tied to the side that letting go of the thoughts of the murder may be reasonable but never letting go of the thoughts of the victim or of the crime itself. To me, there cannot be forgiveness.
The overarching problem is that many people adapt this idea of they're doing something and therefore, I should follow along. This is especially true when there's a leader involved. But I've concluded that this is an unhealthy relationship. People can be objective on both sides provided the space allows. I made the decision at that point that for my own morals, and beliefs, I need to consider something different that follows my core beliefs.
Look at it this way. Cancer is a murderer. It is flawed. But it's also something that does not need to be forgiven. The person suffering through it, their life taken from it. This is the person that sympathy needs to be directed towards. Cancer will always exist. We're not yelling at it for eternity but we also don't need to forgive it as well. It's a part of evolution that is unfortunately there. So I'd leave this journal article where we all have our own ideas of what the meaning of forgiveness means but just because someone believes in forgiving murderers, does not mean that you have to. And hopefully we'll get past this new fad that's going around and understand what forgiveness truly means to the abuser, the victim, and people as a whole. Remember without Justice, there is no Liberty.
Mar 23, 2024
This is a well executed video talking about how certain groups of people believe that without a God, there are no morals. It explains why that is simply not true.
I've decided this night that I am completely done with religion. All of the time I've spent reading about religion and studying religion has been useful to allow me to understand my upraising but now that I have a better understanding of religion, I've decided that it is not for me and therefore I have now quit religion. I've posted some links to people who have deconverted from their religion. This is from people who I believe were immersed in religion. I never really hit that and therefore my experience is a little different. Nonetheless, it is interesting to see their experience. The next thing I need to start focusing on is Cyber security and my Masters of Science degree. I'm thinking that should be my next goal in life. In addition, I want to reach out to some people who I never met but were close with a certain family member. I'm hoping this will be a long term blog not only focused on my diet but also my new interests.

General counsel, Derek Gaubatz writes that forgiveness is up to the person alone, which he states in a 2007 email. This decision involves forgiving the other person that was done to the victim. In other words, You don't have to do that in order to receive the grace of God through the Lord's prayer. At least, that should be how it is done.

Happy easter. So yesterday, I noticed that even though it felt like I was eating less throughout the day, I had in fact eaten a lot more than I needed to. So to start out for today, I had a hard boiled egg (78cal) and a Owyn protein shake (170cal). In addition, I will probably have several coffees with powdered milk. I'll just put down (100 to 200cal) for this. This totals 448cal for today leaving me with 1052 cal left for the day. Being mindful while eating is pretty important to maintain the proper nutritional diet. Avoiding sweets will be especially helpful. I'm going to remain hopeful doing my best staying within my budget. In addition, it will be important for me to continue to maintain drinking water throughout the day as well.

Light Keto For Health and Wellbeing
Light Keto
Plus: All vegetables, some fruits and Less fat
Plus: All vegetables, some fruits and Less fat
Journal
In this journal, I will talk about my experience on a modified Keto diet. The diet will last from February 12, 2024 to March 23, 2024. In this diet, I will limit or cut out any pastas, bread, and sugars. I will also be setting limits on foods that I already avoid including whole milk, cheese, etc. While meat will be a primary staple of this diet, I will not include an abundance of fat into my diet (like the Keto diet suggests) I will also not limit any vegetables and most fruits. Since I do enjoy bananas a lot, I will be cutting out the majority of these fruits.
The purpose for this diet is to see how Keto can help improve mental health.
The journal will be updated at least once ever 14 days. However, at the start, I will be updating the journal more frequently.
Finally, do not use any of this information you find on this website for medical advice. If you have health concerns, talk to a doctor or professional. There are a lot of good weight loss plans out there including ones that may be offered by your doctor or insurance plan. Also, reach out to any of the major hospitals in your area.
The light keto journal follows the 40 days of lent Feb 17-Mar 28.
