I love the Carnivore Diet. Last night, I was up late working on submissions, got only three hours of sleep, and yet—I feel fine. No brain fog, no sluggishness, no dragging myself through the day. Just steady, sustained energy.
I’d write more, but honestly, my workload is massive right now. It’s not that I don’t want to write. I do. But when your schedule is packed to the brim, something has to give. And today, that’s the length of this post.
Still, I can’t get over how much more I fit into a week now compared to what used to take me a month. The mental sharpness, the efficiency, the sheer ability to power through—it’s incredible.
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) |
| 26 Feb 2025 | 200.8 (91.1 kg) |
Report: I lost 2.7 lbs (1.2 kg) today.
Total Loss: 34.7 lbs (15.7 kg) in 55 days.
Average Loss Per Day: 0.63 lbs (0.29 kg).
Dropping my portion size to one-third of normal worked. But I also think taking two days off the diet instead of just one, and “resetting”, made a difference. Interesting to see how these small changes affect the numbers.
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 |
| 26 Feb 2025 | 120/83 | 137/95 | 128.5/89 |
Report: My blood pressure is down and up today.
My systolic blood pressure (the first number) is down by 10.5.
My diastolic blood pressure (the second number) is up by 3.
This reading is definitely moving in the right direction. I’ll take it!
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 |

| 24 Feb 2025 | 5.7 |
| 25 Feb 2025 | 5.9 |
| 26 Feb 2025 | 5.3 |
Report: My blood glucose went down by 0.6.
Days within the normal range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 48 days out of 54 days.
That puts me back in the normal range. Feels great!
Reflections on the Journey
Today, every metric is moving in the right direction. And while I don’t have time for a deep dive, I want to pause and appreciate how far I’ve come.
Six months ago, I never would have believed I’d be here—losing weight, controlling my health, and feeling more alive than I have in years.
What’s making this work?
1️⃣ Consistency. Even when life gets busy, I stick to the plan as best I can.
2️⃣ Adaptation. I’m learning what works for my body—tweaking portion sizes, adjusting fasting, and seeing what gives me the best results.
3️⃣ Mindset. This isn’t a diet. It’s a way of life. And the more I lean into it, the better I feel.
Well, that’s about it. 3 hours sleep and with over 23 hours of work later, even on this diet and eating system, I’m starting to tire.
And I’ll be up again in another four and a half hours to do it all over again.
So, I’ll say “see ya”!
Warmly,
Paul
