Round 2, Day 29 – The Real Power of Fasting—Getting More from Less

I’d forgotten how good not eating can feel. No cravings. No crashes. Just clarity.

Food might bring short bursts of pleasure, but going without it—even for a day—brings something deeper: energy, peace, and focus. Especially in today’s world, where fake food is everywhere and real nourishment is hard to find, giving your body a true break can feel like hitting reset on your soul.

⚖️ Daily Progress:

Here’s how I’m doing today.

Weight Loss

📉 Today’s Change: -4.4 lbs (2 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 29 days): -16.5 lbs (-7.5 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.57 lbs (-0.26 kg)

One of my top-10 single-day drops from this year.
Lowest weight this year!
And it all came from not eating. One day off food, and my body responded loud and clear: Thank you.

That’s the magic of fasting when you’re already on Carnivore. There’s no crash, no confusion—just clean, powerful fuel from the days before, and deep cellular repair on the day off.

Blood Pressure (BP)

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): -4.5
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +7

So, while fasting worked wonders for my weight, it didn’t help my blood pressure as much today. Over 140/90 is my personal “action point,” so I’ll take my meds when I eat.

This isn’t about all-or-nothing for me.
It’s about listening and adjusting. I’m playing the long game.

Blood Glucose

7 June 2025 – Day 294.8

📊 Today’s Change: -0.4 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 16 out of 29

Still in the green zone—and that’s what counts. Glitches happen (thanks, life). But overall? This number is staying strong and steady.

And that’s proof the Carnivore + Fasting combo is working under the hood.

🧠 What You Save Becomes Your Strength

No company gets rich when you eat less.
Only you do.

Less food means more time, more clarity, and more control.

You skip the prep. The dishes. The “just one episode” that turns into three.
Before you know it, you’ve won back four hours of your day—and you’re not even tired.

Today wasn’t just a weight win.
It was a productivity win.
A mental clarity win.
A “get things done” win.

That’s the power of skipping what you don’t need.

💡 One Big Takeaway

Skip the noise. Eat less. Live more.
If you want more energy, better numbers, clearer thinking, and extra time in your day—try doing nothing. Seriously. Just skip a meal. Or two. Let your body do what it was built to do.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your health…
is nothing.

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.
