It was so good to wake up feeling better again. While I’m not back to 100% yet, it’s such a relief to be on the mend again—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Taking a break from the diet has helped me realize what I lose whenever I’m not on it. There’s something newly powerful about returning to my COMAD (Carnivore + OMAD) routine.
It’s not like I’m starting over—no, but I’m moving forward. It’s a fresh start and that feeling is exciting; something I felt often when I was younger, but no so much these days… until now.
I’m learning that there’s a silver lining in everything I do on this diet—whether I’m on the Carnivore Diet, off it, or just getting back into it. It’s all part of this amazing journey, and every step, no matter how small, feels like progress.
Daily Progress
Here’s how I’m doing today:
Weight Loss
| Date | Weight (lbs) |
| Weight Goal | 176.0 (80.0 kg) |
| 2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 235.5 (106.8 kg) |
| 31 Jan 2025 – Month 1 | 209.4 (95.0 kg) |
| 6 Feb 2025 – Week 5 | 204.4 (92.7 kg) |
| 13 Feb 2025 – Week 6 | 205.0 (93.0 kg) |
| 20 Feb 2025 – Week 7 | 202.2 (91.7 kg) |
| 21 Feb 2025 | 203.1 (92.1 kg) |
| 22 Feb 2025 | 202.6 (91.9 kg) |
| 23 Feb 2025 | 207.0 (93.9 kg) |
| 24 Feb 2025 | 203.7 (92.4 kg) |
Report: I lost 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) today.
Total Loss: 31.8 lbs (14.4 kg) in 53 days.
Average Loss Per Day: 0.6 lbs (0.27 kg).
What a nice drop in weight after only one day back on my COMAD diet. I’m really hoping the weight loss continues like this—it feels like a fresh start, just like it was my first week on the diet again.
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 |
| 31 Jan 25 – Mth 1 | 125/81 | 129/84 | 127/82.5 |
| 6 Feb 25 – Week 5 | 124.5/78.5 | 153/100 | 148/96 |
| 13 Feb 25 – Week 6 | 121/81 | 138/75 | 129.5/78 |
| 20 Feb 25 – Week 7 | 137/90 | 148/93 | 143.5/91.5 |
| 21 Feb 2025 | 148/89 | 158/93 | 153/91 |
| 22 Feb 2025 | 138/92 | 139/94 | 138.5/93 |
| 23 Feb 2025 | 133/85 | 145/92 | 139/88.5 |
| 24 Feb 2025 | 137/91 | 146/91 | 141.5/91 |
Report: My blood pressure is up today.
My systolic blood pressure (the first number) is up by 2.5.
My diastolic blood pressure (the second number) is down 1.5.
The levels are still within a manageable range, and I feel comfortable with them. Blood pressure seems to be settling toward the normal range, which is a huge win. I know that as I continue to lose weight, this will likely improve even more. The Carnivore Diet is truly helping with this—slow and steady, but it’s working!
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |
| 2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 7.2 |
| 31 Jan 2025 – Month 1 | 4.4 |
| 6 Feb 2025 – Week 5 | 4.7 |
| 13 Feb 2025 – Week 6 | 5.1 |
| 20 Feb 2025 – Week 7 | 4.9 |
| 21 Feb 2025 | 4.7 |
| 22 Feb 2025 | 6.0 |
| 23 Feb 2025 | 6.7 |
| 24 Feb 2025 | 5.7 |
Report: My blood glucose went up by 0.7.
Days within the normal range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 47 days out of 53 days.
I’m just slightly above the normal range today, but my body is adjusting, and I’m confident it’ll be back into the normal range tomorrow.
Just having this much consistency in my glucose is a huge win. And I think this break has been great for my weight loss, so it’s worth trying even though it negatively impacts my blood glucose for a few days.
Changing My Mind
It’s funny to think—just a few months ago, I never would have imagined fasting for over 23 hours every day, let alone fasting for this long. I used to fast occasionally, and sometimes for much longer periods. But never with this kind of consistency. And I think that consistency, above all else, is the key to the amazing mental clarity and emotional highs I feel now.
It’s starting to feel natural, and intermittent fasting has become the main tool I use to recharge and reset. It’s almost like second nature to me now. Fasting is no longer something I think about much—it’s just part of my daily routine, contributing to my journey toward better health and balance. It’s truly become a natural part of my life.
I hope you consider trying it, at whatever level you and your doctor feel comfortable with.
See you tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
