Waking up today, I felt more grounded than I have since breaking the diet for a few days. I’m not back to 100%, but I’m grateful to be healing mentally, emotionally and physically.
Taking a break from the diet made me realize how much I value the clarity and stability that come with being on it. There’s something powerful about returning to my COMAD (Carnivore + One Meal A Day) routine—it’s a bit of a reset really, more than anything though, it’s another step in the right direction.
I’m realizing more every day that there’s a silver lining in all I do on the Carnivore Diet—whether I’m on the the diet, off of it, or getting back into it. Every step counts, and each one brings 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) |
| 25 Feb 2025 | 203.5 (92.3 kg) |
Report: I lost 0.2 lbs (0.1 kg) today.
Total Loss: 32 lbs (14.5 kg) in 54 days.
Average Loss Per Day: 0.59 lbs (0.27 kg).
Even though it’s a small loss, it’s still a win. I’ll work on dropping more by adjusting to a smaller meal portion tonight.
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 |
| 25 Feb 2025 | 138/87 | 140/85 | 139/86 |
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.
For now, I’m comfortable with these levels. They’re still under 140/90, which is is as high as I want it to go until I hit my goal weight.
My plan?
Keep monitoring, stay consistent, and let the diet do its work.
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 |
| 25 Feb 2025 | 5.9 |
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.
This was a surprise but not too concerning. I expected my blood glucose to be in the normal range by now. This is a marathon though, not a sprint. A day of eating less should bring it back into normal range soon.
Changing My Mind
If there’s one thing this journey is teaching me, it’s that health isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about mindset.
When I first started Carnivore, I had this rigid idea that success meant sticking to it perfectly, no matter what. But life doesn’t work like that. And honestly? That’s not how real progress happens.
Now, I see things differently. It’s not about never slipping—it’s about how fast I get back up.
Each day, I get stronger—not just physically, but mentally. I trust my body more. And even more, I trust myself. And I know that as long as I keep showing up, keep learning, and keep adjusting, I’ll get where I need to be.
I’m playing the long game. And I’m winning.
See you tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
