Today marked the first day in my new job, and it’s a good reminder of just how well the Carnivore Diet and OMAD (One Meal A Day) combination are working. I’m amazed by how much more productive I am on workdays.
By not eating during work hours, I free up so much more time to focus on tasks, and I have just the right amount of energy to stay alert and learn all the new things that come with a fresh start.
Starting a new job can be stressful, but this time, I didn’t have to deal with brain fog, low energy, or pain.
That’s such a huge difference compared to what I’ve experienced in the past, and I’m feeling energized and ready for what comes next.
Daily Progress
Here’s how I’m doing today:
Weight Loss

| 29 Jan 2025 | 209.2 (94.9 kg) |
Report: I lost 0.7 lbs (0.3 kg) today.
That’s a total of 26.3 lbs (11.9 kg) in 27 days.
That’s an average of about 0.97 lb (0.44 kg) per day.
I’m sticking with the Carnivore Diet and OMAD, and I’m not worried by the lower weight losses.
A loss is a loss and I’ll keep moving forward with consistency, knowing that the progress is real and lasting.
Blood Pressure (BP)
| Date | BP – Before Food (Best of 3) | BP – Before Food (Worst of 3) | Average |
| BP Goal | 120/80 | ||
| 2 Jan 25 – Day 1 | 155/103 | 166/102 | 160.5/102.5 |
| 9 Jan 25 – Week 1 | 159/108 | 162/98 | 160.5/103 |
| 16 Jan 25 – Week 2 | 132/83 | 135/87 | 133.5/85 |
| 23 Jan 25 – Week 3 | 110/69 | 118/72 | 114/70.5 |
| 24 Jan 2025 | 121/76 | 123/76 | 122/76 |
| 25 Jan 2025 | 128/80 | 145/97 | 136.5/88.5 |
| 26 Jan 2025 | 128/74 | 133/82 | 130.5/78 |

| 29 Jan 2025 | 124/80 | 125/77 | 124.5/78.5 |
Report: My blood pressure went up and down today.
My systolic blood pressure (the first number) went down by 3.
My diastolic blood pressure (the second number) went up by 0.5.
My systolic reading has been in the “Elevated” range (120/80 to 129/80) days now, but decreasing day by day.
As I continue to lose weight, I expect my blood pressure to keep improving slowly but surely.
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |
| 2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 7.2 |
| 9 Jan 2025 – Week 1 | 4.6 |
| 16 Jan 2025 – Week 2 | 4.1 |
| 23 Jan 2025 – Week 3 | 3.9 |
| 24 Jan 2025 | 4.3 |
| 25 Jan 2025 | 4.6 |
| 26 Jan 2025 | 4.2 |
| 27 Jan 2025 | 4.1 |
| 28 Jan 2025 | 3.8 |
| 29 Jan 2025 | 3.9 |
Report: My blood glucose went up by 0.1 today.
It’s still within the normal range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L) for 23 out of the last 27 days.
I’m really happy with the consistency and improvement I’m seeing.
Exercise
I walked over 3,000 steps today. It wasn’t the 5,000 steps I aimed for, but I’ll give myself some grace as I settle into my new job routine.
I’m learning to balance work and fitness, and I know that with consistency, I’ll continue to improve the number of steps over time.
A New Job and a New Me
Starting this new job while sticking to my Carnivore Diet and OMAD has been an great learning experience.
With the right diet and a positive mindset, I’m finding that I’m more equipped than ever to face challenges. Gone are the days of feeling drained or foggy.
I now have the energy to power through the day without the usual fatigue, and I feel mentally sharper than I have in a long time. These small victories—like seeing my blood pressure improve, feeling more energized, and thinking more clearly—are all signs that the choices I’m making are truly paying off.
It’s amazing to see how the right combination of nutrition and mindset can transform how you handle life’s challenges. The progress I’m making is real, and I’m excited to see what comes next.
See you tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
