Round 2, Day 12 – Winning with Easy Discipline

After just one night without cheese and two days of clean COMAD (Carnivore + OMAD), I’ve dropped over 6 pounds. I only got 6 hours of sleep, because I wasn’t tired until late, and I still woke up groggy—but once I was moving, the fog cleared. And when I faced a task I usually put off, I had it finished before I even noticed I’d started. Discipline is finally feeling effortless again.

So, even with a slow start, my body snapped into gear. It’s like I crossed a tipping point—where action takes less effort than delay, and production is easier than procrastination.

This is one of those moments where COMAD proves itself. Last night’s dinner was just meat and eggs—no cheese, no extras. And that one change seems to have made all the difference.

Daily Progress

Here’s how I’m doing today:

📉 Total Loss (in 12 days): -7.7 lbs (-3.5 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.64 lbs (-0.29 kg)

That’s a huge drop overnight. No cheese? No problem. This gives me a solid strategy going forward. Simplicity wins again.

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): +10
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +1

One number is now outside my comfort range, but it took 3 days to get there. That tells me my current meds are working—but maybe I need to tweak the schedule. I’m thinking Sundays and Thursdays, or every 4 days, always at the same time with my evening meal.

I like having rules I create myself. The more self-made guardrails I have, the more freedom I feel within them.

📊 Today’s Change: -0.8 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 6 out of 12

If cheese was spiking my glucose, it’s good to know. Just one day without it brought me straight back into range. This is the kind of fast feedback that makes experimenting worth it.

🌟 Discipline Gets Easier When It’s Personalized

It’s not about rules—it’s about building a system you believe in.

This journey isn’t just about numbers. It’s about finding what works for me—what foods, what schedule, what limits. The moment I make those choices my own, they stop feeling like rules. They start feeling like freedom.

Simplify to Multiply Your Results

Sometimes all it takes to unlock momentum is removing one small thing that’s holding you back. Today, that was cheese. Tomorrow, it might be bacon. Or timing. Or mindset. Start small. Remove the thing you suspect might be slowing you down—and let the results do the talking.

The fewer decisions you have to make in the moment, the more consistent you’ll be. Cut the noise. Stick with what works. For me, it’s meat, eggs, one meal, and clear metrics. Simplify the routine and your body—and life—start working better, faster, smoother.

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.
