Round 2, Day 10 – Crawling Out of the Fog—One COMAD Day at a Time

Getting back on COMAD (Carnivore + OMAD) after a break can feel like trying to wake up from a heavy sleep. The mental fog, lack of drive, and sluggish mornings hit hard—but the clarity, energy, and control are already returning.

😵‍💫 The Fog Is Real

Getting back on track feels harder before it feels better.

I’m so glad I’m back on COMAD. I really am. But I forgot how rough the first few days can feel after falling off.

The old feelings came rushing back: hitting snooze, dragging through the day, and needing to force myself to focus. But I know from experience—this passes. And soon, my goals will pull me more than I have to push myself.

The good news? I’m back to writing daily again. It’s a small win—but a win, nonetheless.

Daily Progress

Here’s how I’m doing today:

Weight Loss

DateWeight (lbs)
Weight Goal176.4 (80.0 kg)
8 May 2025 – Worst day207.2 (94 kg)
10 May 2025 – Day 1203.5 (92.3 kg)
16 May 2025 – Week 1198.2 (89.9 kg)
17 May 2025 – Day 8196.2 (89 kg)
18 May 2025 – Day 9202.2 (91.7 kg)
19 May 2025 – Day 10205.7 (93.3 kg)

📉 Today’s Change: +3.5 lbs (1.6 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 10 days): -1.5 lbs (-.7 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.15 lbs (-0.07 kg)

This gain? Classic rebound. Before my 90+ days on Carnivore, this kind of bounce-back used to happen all the time after a sugar binge.

Lesson learned. If I ever go off-plan again, I’ll make it a nutrient-based break, not a sugar holiday. And no more open-ended eating windows. Eating for 8 hours straight Saturday and Sunday didn’t help either.

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): -25
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): -13

This is a huge shift—and a good one. My meds used to take weeks to show results. Now? Just one day.

I credit this to all the work I’ve done dropping weight and stabilizing my system. That’s why I keep going. High blood pressure was the most dangerous thing I faced. COMAD helps me control it.

Blood Glucose

18 May 2025 – Day 85.6
19 May 2025 – Day 96.8
19 May 2025 – Day 106.2

📊 Today’s Change: +1.2 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 5 out of 9

Honestly, with all the sugar I’ve had over the last two days, I expected to be over 7 mmol/L. My meds definitely softened the blow. But this number reminds me: I’m on the edge. And every bite matters.

🌟 Turning the Ship Around

Progress is the reward of discipline.

I’ve been here before. I know what happens next. The fog clears. My energy returns. The cravings fade. And I remember how good it feels to be me, powered by real food, clear goals, and tight boundaries.

The only way to win this long game is to stop starting over.


Stay on the Plan That Works

You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be consistent. COMAD helps me think clearly, lose weight, and feel strong. Every time I veer off and come back, I’m reminded: it’s not about what you avoid. It’s about what you build. Structure beats struggle, every time.

See You Tomorrow! 😊

Warmly,
Paul

Helping people is what lights me up. I’m a curious soul who loves diving into new ideas, uncovering hidden gems of knowledge and sharing what I find. Sometimes, my scientific side takes over, and I overthink things. But I’ve got a creative streak too. There’s an artist in me who loves to dream big and imagine the possibilities. But at my core, if I had to use one word to describe myself—it would be Engineer. I like to build things—whether it’s ideas, solutions, or meaningful connections. So let’s explore, learn, and grow together. I promise to keep it real, keep it fun, and always keep it supportive.
