Round 2, Day 10 – Crawling Out of the Fog—One COMAD Day at a Time

Getting back on COMAD (Carnivore + OMAD) after a break can feel like trying to wake up from a heavy sleep. The mental fog, lack of drive, and sluggish mornings hit hard—but the clarity, energy, and control are already returning.

😵‍💫 The Fog Is Real

Getting back on track feels harder before it feels better.

I’m so glad I’m back on COMAD. I really am. But I forgot how rough the first few days can feel after falling off.

The old feelings came rushing back: hitting snooze, dragging through the day, and needing to force myself to focus. But I know from experience—this passes. And soon, my goals will pull me more than I have to push myself.

The good news? I’m back to writing daily again. It’s a small win—but a win, nonetheless.

Daily Progress

Here’s how I’m doing today:

Weight Loss

DateWeight (lbs)
Weight Goal176.4 (80.0 kg)
8 May 2025 – Worst day207.2 (94 kg)
10 May 2025 – Day 1203.5 (92.3 kg)
16 May 2025 – Week 1198.2 (89.9 kg)
17 May 2025 – Day 8196.2 (89 kg)
18 May 2025 – Day 9202.2 (91.7 kg)
19 May 2025 – Day 10205.7 (93.3 kg)

📉 Today’s Change: +3.5 lbs (1.6 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 10 days): -1.5 lbs (-.7 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.15 lbs (-0.07 kg)

This gain? Classic rebound. Before my 90+ days on Carnivore, this kind of bounce-back used to happen all the time after a sugar binge.

Lesson learned. If I ever go off-plan again, I’ll make it a nutrient-based break, not a sugar holiday. And no more open-ended eating windows. Eating for 8 hours straight Saturday and Sunday didn’t help either.

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): -25
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): -13

This is a huge shift—and a good one. My meds used to take weeks to show results. Now? Just one day.

I credit this to all the work I’ve done dropping weight and stabilizing my system. That’s why I keep going. High blood pressure was the most dangerous thing I faced. COMAD helps me control it.

Blood Glucose

18 May 2025 – Day 85.6
19 May 2025 – Day 96.8
19 May 2025 – Day 106.2

📊 Today’s Change: +1.2 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 5 out of 9

Honestly, with all the sugar I’ve had over the last two days, I expected to be over 7 mmol/L. My meds definitely softened the blow. But this number reminds me: I’m on the edge. And every bite matters.

🌟 Turning the Ship Around

Progress is the reward of discipline.

I’ve been here before. I know what happens next. The fog clears. My energy returns. The cravings fade. And I remember how good it feels to be me, powered by real food, clear goals, and tight boundaries.

The only way to win this long game is to stop starting over.


✅ Stay on the Plan That Works

You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be consistent. COMAD helps me think clearly, lose weight, and feel strong. Every time I veer off and come back, I’m reminded: it’s not about what you avoid. It’s about what you build. Structure beats struggle, every time.

See You Tomorrow! 😊

Warmly,
Paul

Helping people is what lights me up. I’m a curious soul who loves diving into new ideas, uncovering hidden gems of knowledge and sharing what I find. Sometimes, my scientific side takes over, and I overthink things. But I’ve got a creative streak too. There’s an artist in me who loves to dream big and imagine the possibilities. But at my core, if I had to use one word to describe myself—it would be Engineer. I like to build things—whether it’s ideas, solutions, or meaningful connections. So let’s explore, learn, and grow together. I promise to keep it real, keep it fun, and always keep it supportive.
