Mark's Carnivore Experiment

23rd September, 2019

Day 5

On Day 4 I ate one large meal at midday. When I woke up this morning I wasn't hungry, so I didn't want breakfast. This surprised me. I had a black coffee though.

I have not lost any weight for three days now, which is odd. Ketones have increased today, probably due to the fast?

No bowel movements for 3 days, but don't feel constipated.

My waist size has gone up slightly along with my blood sugar level from yesterday. Very odd.

My Stats

• Weight: 85.3 kg (188 pounds)
• Waist: 99 cm (39 in.)
• Body fat: 22%
• Blood sugar level: 4.8 mmol/L
• Ketones: 8.0 mmol/L (Moderate-Large)
• Feeling: Absolutely fine, lots of energy.

Breakfast

Skipped.

Lunch

I think I over-did it on lunch today. I need to be more careful with my measurements. One meal contained over 2400 calories.

• 2 beef steak and bone marrow burgers (372g or 0.82 pounds)
• 300g Flat iron steak (0.66 pounds)
• 2 large fried eggs
• 60g lamb liver

I should have only had the 1 burger on hindsight. Half way through the meal I felt full, but I kept going until I had finished all of it. At this point I felt a bit bloated and knew I had eaten too much.

During the afternoon I started to feel sleepy again and it was a real challenge to get on with my work. Even five hours later I still felt full and sleepy.

Dinner

Skipped.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.
