Health Journey 2026 - Day 55

Hey everyone, how are you doing? I am back to share how I did on day 55 of my carnivore journey. My blood sugars stayed pretty stable again - higher around my first meal of the day (got up to around 120) but then around my 2nd meal they did start lowering. I did not take any meal time insulin today, just my long acting. Anyways - what did I eat? Meal 1 - About 4 oz of top sirloin steak. I would have had more but this cut was extra fatty. Yes I still need the fat, so I had butter in it's place. Meal 2 - I had almost 10 oz of salmon. I did add some butter since it is not very fatty at all. I really should be doing a 1:1 ratio at least of fat to protein. I think I did get close to that today. For fertility I should be doing at least 1.5 fat to 1 protein ( a sweet spot of 120 fat and 80 protein) Anyways -- my macros ending up being approx: 1,213 calories, 0 carbs, 95 fat, 83 protein. One good thing to note is my blood pressure has been pretty good these past 55 days. if it was a bad diet, surely my blood pressure would be showing it, right? I am interested how my A1c and other bloodwork will look when I go back to the doc in December, and how much more weight I will lose by then.

nope not in the last 2 years. But hoping that losing weight and healing my hormones with this way of eating will help it to happen. Yes that is good for sure

Blood pressure goes up if one has a diet high in salt. My doctor told me to get more salt in my diet. I also tend to have low blood pressure. I’m weird.

I have a TON of salt lol....on this diet you actually need more because you don't hold onto water and salt like you do with a standard american diet, so you lose it quickly...so need to consume more than on a normal diet. Low blood pressure would be scary too...so I can understand why they'd recommend that.

@MommyOfEli2013 She told me to eat chips, and I was like, how about a Pedialyte? Lol Chips make me feel sick.

@AmbiePam I am sorry that they do, chips are so good lol. I would say an electrolyte drink might help, so I guess what you mentioned

I am sure that it does, but we have been checking ours daily lately and it's always been good when I check it.

Day 55 is a real milestone, congrats on sticking with it. Nice that your sugars stayed stable and your blood pressure is doing good too. Hope the bloodwork in December come back with good news for you.

Well it needs to be for the rest of my life...even though I will probably have a carb day here and there. Yes they have been mostly stable, I do hate when they go over 100 though. Yes that is a good thing too
