It’s been a full-on week. One of those where you pull an all-nighter—not because you planned to, but because you had to. I needed that time to finally build a system for handling my workload better. And I’m proud to say, it worked.
What really got me through that push wasn’t caffeine or some secret hack. It was COMAD (Carnivore + One Meal A Day)! I had the energy. I had the focus. I didn’t crash.
At 64, I never would’ve thought I’d be able to pull something like that off again. But here we are.
To everyone reading this—I hope your week was amazing, and if it wasn’t, I hope this next one is better.
Daily Progress
Here’s how I did this week:
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) |
| 28 Feb 2025 – Month 2 | 200.1 (91.2 kg) |

| 14 Mar 2025 – Week 10 | 194.7 (88.3 kg) |
| 21 Mar 2025 – Week 11 | 194.9 (88.4 kg) |
📉 This Week’s Change: +0.2 lbs (+0.1 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 83 days): -40.6 lbs (-18.4 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.5 lbs (-0.22 kg)
I stayed 100% Carnivore all week. The scale didn’t move much, but I did. I felt light. I had energy. I was sharp. Still, I’m thinking of taking a short break this weekend—just to shake things up and see what happens next.
I’ve noticed something important: when I check in daily, I stay focused. But now that I’m only writing about this weekly, my attention has started to drift.
Measure daily. Eat daily. Manage daily.
Some might say that’s obsessive. But honestly? Most people aren’t focused enough. They’ll judge you not because you’re too driven—but because they’re not driven enough.
You ever notice how some drivers think everyone else is either going too fast or too slow? That’s not about speed. That’s about judgment. In their minds, their pace is the perfect one. And anything else? Wrong.
But life isn’t lived in someone else’s rearview mirror.
Do what makes you better. Do what brings you peace. Do what brings you happiness! As long as you’re not directly harming someone else, their opinion isn’t your responsibility.
That’s theirs to deal with. Not yours.
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 |
| 28 Feb 25 – Mth 2 | 120/77 | 147/77 | 133.5/77 |
| 7 Mar 25 – Wk 9 | 137/79 | 145/86 | 141/89.5 |
| 14 Mar 25 – Wk 10 | 121/80 | 131/76 | 126/78 |
| 21 Mar 25 – Wk 11 | 134/84 | 142/94 | 138/89 |
💪 This Week’s Systolic Change (First number): +12
💪 This Week’s Diastolic Change (Second number): +11
Out of 14 readings this week, 9 were below 140/90. That’s solid. The highest I hit was 154, the lowest was 121. That’s a huge improvement compared to where I started this year.
I’m proud of that. It shows me that this isn’t just about weight loss—this is about healing.
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 |
| 28 Feb 2025 – Month 2 | 5.1 |
| 6 Mar 2025 – Week 9 | 5.5 |
| 7 Mar 2025 – Week 9 | 4.8 |
| 14 Mar 2025 – Week 10 | 4.1 |
| 21 Mar 2025 – Week 11 | 5.3 |
📊 This Week’s Change: +0.8 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 67 out of 76
Yes, it crept up a bit this week. But it stayed in the normal range the entire time. Lowest was 4.1. Weekly average was 4.7.
That’s a win.
Here’s the truth: my blood sugar is no longer a concern. It’s stable because I’m eating in a way that supports it.
To be honest, if I wasn’t reporting it for you, I probably wouldn’t test it at all—unless I broke the diet. And even then, maybe not.
I’ve learned that my blood sugar is totally under my control. If it ever goes high again, it’ll be because I chose to let go of the habits that are keeping me healthy.
Closing Thought for this week
Focus creates results when you measure, adjust, and persist.
This isn’t just a “diet” anymore. It’s a reboot.
I’m 64. I’m sharper. I’m more energized. I’m more in control. And I’m not done.
Next week, I’ll share more updates on my progress. And tomorrow, I’ll post something I’ve been wanting to write for a while:
“The Science of Autophagy: How Fasting Cleans and Repairs Your Cells.”
Until then, thank you for following my journey. Wherever you are in yours, just know—you’re not alone.
You’ve got this.
Until then, have a great day and a fantastic week!
See you! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
