The routine is always the same. Just when I was about to have those weird dreams, the buzzer went off. So now I know that my sleeping hours are between 11:30 pm to 6:00 am. There is no more guesswork.
However once a week I will have one of those sleepless nights. It should not happen that often.
I am a bit agitated right now. I am not really hungry but perhaps I am low in sugar. I just feel like being with myself and my own thoughts at this moment.
My right foot is tingling intermittently due to inflammation.
Today is a crucial day. This is day 3 of OMAD LCHF. I need to be fat adapted and at the same time go low on carbs. That takes between 14 to 21 day to happen, said Stephen Phinney. According to Jason Fung, 3 days of fasting can already take me into ketosis. I tend to agree with Jason.
Whatever it is, I need a strategy to SERIOUSLY lose weight. At the same time I thought of killing 2 birds with one stone. I want to create a situation that allows me to quit Nicorette as well. For that I need dopamine.
Can fasting produce dopamine?
Neuro-chemically, fasting increases levels of catecholamines — such as dopamine — which elevates your happiness and confidence while reducing your anxiety.
Cold shower produces dopamine too. No wonder I feel great taking a cold shower after exercise.
Nicotine increase dopamine by 200%.

Of all the things I need to tackle now is the feet inflammation. Most likely that is gout. That means my body is high in cellular waste in a form of uric acid.
I need to solve this issue. This is a very serious issue. I think all these issues are interconnected. Even the medication is contributing to the depletion of dopamine. It is a dopamine antagonist.
I ended having to chew Nicorette to balance back my dopamine depletion.
Bloody hell, why do I have to take the medication if I am no longer ill? I'm pretty pissed with Lizzie on this matter. She actually dictated the doctor to get me to continue using the medication since 2014. This is already the 5th year.
I had been throwing away the lithium carbonate away anyway. Somehow I cannot escape this paliperidone intake because it is a time release jab. In the past I did throw away the medication. Now since I relapsed, Lizzie makes sure she is there every time I go for my jab.
-------------------
I went to buy food for Lizzie at her regular joint. The stall owner, a Chinese guy who is 56 years old was not there like normal. The wife said he had a mild stroke. Even the wife has high blood pressure. All because of what? Failure to manage diet and exercise.
I'm not going down that path. I'll fight this weight gain and inflammation to the end. I'll make sure I hit 57 kg no matter what.
