4.5 hours of sleep, a quick shower, and I feel better than I used to on 8 hours of sleep plus a two-hour nap.
I know I keep talking about this, but it still shocks me—this endless, steady energy without needing extra sleep to recharge.
When I started this journey, I was 57 lbs (26 kg) overweight. That’s a lot of extra fuel, and now, I’m actually using it. But what surprises me most is how cleanly fat burns. I never thought of it that way before.
Combine that with the fact that animal protein is one of the least toxic foods you can eat, and my body isn’t wasting energy detoxing like it would on the SAD (Standard American Diet) diet. That means more energy for me.
A win for energy, a win for health—a win-win for the Carnivore Diet!
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) |
| 27 Feb 2025 | 201.3 (91.3 kg) |
Today
+ 0.5 lbs (0.2 kg)
Total Loss (in 58 days)
34.2 lbs (15.5 kg)
Average Loss Per Day
0.59 lbs (0.27 kg)
I ate more last night, and I guess this is the price. Some days, I feel like I could skip food altogether. But other days, I just want that comfort of eating.
Since I don’t need to eat until Saturday afternoon (Today is Thursday), I think I’ll take advantage of this and try a NoMAD (No Meals A Day) fasting day tomorrow, to balance things out.
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 |
| 27 Feb 2025 | 133/86 | 137/82 | 135/84 |
Today’s systolic blood pressure (the first number)
+ 6.5
Today’s diastolic blood pressure (the second number)
– 5.0
Still under 140/90, which is where doctors say high blood pressure begins (for now, though medical guidelines tend to shift over time).
Once I hit a healthy weight, I expect my BP will settle closer to 120/80. If I’m right, that means weight is the biggest driver of blood pressure, not some random genetic lottery.
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 |
| 26 Feb 2025 | 5.3 |
| 27 Feb 2025 | 5.3 |
Today
My blood glucose stayed the same.
Days within the normal range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L)
49 days out of 55 days.
Since I’m now at zero carbs, I expect my glucose will stay steady unless I eat carbs again.
Reflections on my Journey
Every day, I see more proof that:
✔️ Fat is a powerful, steady fuel.
✔️ Weight loss is predictable—small changes add up.
✔️ Energy is not just about sleep—it’s about what you eat.
What’s next?
💡 A NoMAD fasting day to reset.
💡 Keep tracking progress—every number tells a story.
💡 Stay consistent—because this is working.
See you tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
