Round 2, Day 36 – Cracking 190: How One Fast Day Reset My Health

Only five hours of sleep, no alarm… and still, I woke up ready to rise and shine. That spark? That energy? That’s what shows me I’m back on track.

🚀 The Power of One NoMAD Day

One full day of NoMAD (No Meals A Day) and I feel incredible. Not just lighter, but clearer, more focused, more alive. That said—it wasn’t easy. Especially when I was ordering groceries online. All those delicious temptations, from buttery meats to salty cheeses… but I didn’t bite.

“Discipline is remembering what you want most.”
– David Campbell

Here’s the thing: the longer you walk your ideal path, the more it fuels your momentum. Eventually, your diet stops feeling like restriction. It becomes alignment—between what your body needs and what your spirit craves.

⚖️ Daily Progress: Cracking 190!

Here’s how I’m doing today.

I’m finally under 190 lbs—and it feels huge. My goal is still ahead (under 180), but this breakthrough matters. It’s the reward of sticking to a rhythm that works: weekly NoMAD + daily COMAD = forward motion.

No meds. No crash. Just natural recovery. That drop in blood pressure tells me something powerful: maybe NoMAD isn’t just good for weight and glucose… maybe it’s a reset button for the whole system.

It’s worth asking: are we eating too much, too often, too easily? Maybe we’re not sick—we’re just overfed. Maybe our bodies need effort more than ease. It’s possible that the real work/life balance isn’t 50/50. Maybe it’s 80% work, 20% play—and our health reflects what side we lean into.

Worth exploring for sure!

Three cheers for all green readings!
This just confirms it—weekly fasting works for me. One day of deep discipline can unlock seven days of stability, clarity, and vitality.

🧠 What Today Taught Me

When the numbers line up with how your body feels—that’s when you know. I’m not pushing anymore. I’m flowing. I’ve got the right food, the right timing, and the right system. Every week, I’m not just shedding weight—I’m gaining back mastery.


📌 One Powerful Step Forward

Find your rhythm—and build your week around it.
Once you discover the timing, food, and routines that make you feel unbreakable, guard them like treasure. One great day can reset your week. One great week can reshape your whole life.

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.
