# Diet Day 11

We are one and a half weeks into our diet. My wife joined me on this
although she does not need such a strict diet. We are doing a SIBO
diet, which is a very strict minimum carbs diet to get rid of the bad
bacteria.

Basically all you get is proteins and fat like in keto but even
stricter. So currently we are always in the kitchen as you have to
cook/bake everything. Breakfast is hard. The first two days we ate eggs
and bacon, but then we made some flat "bread" using linseed, almond
flour and such. A lot of nuts and seeds are permitted. After
experimenting a bit with not so delicious recipes we finally found a
good one on a keto website called keto buns.

The first week was hell as we were very tired, had headaches mixed with
dizziness and we had to get right into the kitchen after work to
prepare something for the next day.

Why I need all this? Quite frankly I diagnosed myself as the doc only
said that yeah, after surgery SIBO can occur but we cannot do hydrogen
breath test because of covid. Thank you very much.

Fortunately you can make the bad bacteria suffer if you do not give
them their favorite food: carbs. So I do not need a diagnosis and a
prescription. I read multiple documents about SIBO and particularly
one by swiss docs described all my symptoms including the situation
after you get an atibiotics treatment in a hospital - which I did.

Fact is: almost all my symptoms went away on the second day of not
eating carbs. It will be hard to keep up with this during Christmas,
but hey, I feel well. And as a side effect I lost weight. To be honest
I tried to lose weight since the end of September so I lost ~7 kg in
10 weeks. Pretty good.

Today I made the keto buns after work again that will be our breakfast
tomorrow and my wife is cooking the main course right now.

Yesterday when surfing the web a bit, somewhere I saw REBOL mentioned.
I checked and the website is still there you can download the
interpreter and it works! At least the 64 bit linux version I tested.
I do not really remember the language itself but I know I loved it. It
was something else, very much not like C or the kind.

Development stopped many years ago and REBOL 3 never got out of its
alpha stage. There is a similar language called Red that claims to be
95% source compatible with REBOL. I was perusing the REBOL/Core Users
Guide today a bit. I want to write some scripts again! But I had to
bake my buns...
