Progress Tracking Templates

Purpose of Tracking

Progress tracking serves three purposes. First, it makes the cumulative effect of the sequence visible. Participants often do not notice gradual improvements in real time. Reviewing tracked data reveals patterns that would otherwise be missed. Second, it enables troubleshooting. When results are slower than expected, tracked data helps identify where the sequence may have been interrupted or where interfering factors may be present. Third, it provides motivation. Seeing blood glucose trend downward, energy ratings trend upward, and symptoms diminish provides evidence that the work is producing results.

Tracking is not required. Some participants prefer to proceed without formal tracking. However, participants who track consistently report greater awareness of their bodies and more confidence in their progress.

What to Track

The following metrics provide a comprehensive picture of terrain restoration. Participants may track all or only some, depending on their goals and circumstances.

Fasting Log. Record the date, duration of each fast, and any notes about how the fast felt. This helps identify patterns. Some participants find that certain days of the week are easier for fasting than others. Some find that fasting becomes more difficult before certain phases of their menstrual cycle. Tracking reveals these patterns.

Salt Intake Log. Record which salt was taken, the amount used, and the time it was consumed. The rotation schedule requires specific salts on specific days. Tracking ensures compliance and helps identify whether a particular salt is producing specific effects.

Blood Glucose Log. For diabetic participants, record fasting blood glucose each morning, pre-meal readings, and post-meal readings as recommended by a physician. Also record any hypoglycemic events, including symptoms and how they were resolved.

Energy Ratings. Rate energy levels twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Use a scale of one to ten, with one being completely exhausted and ten being fully energetic. Consistent ratings over time reveal whether energy is improving, stabilizing, or fluctuating.

Sleep Quality Log. Record hours slept, number of awakenings, and a subjective quality rating from one to ten. Also note any factors that may have affected sleep, such as stress, caffeine, or late meals.

Digestion Log. Record frequency and regularity of bowel movements, any bloating or discomfort, and any unusual symptoms. Note the timing of symptoms relative to meals and fasting.

Mood and Mental Clarity Log. Rate mood and mental clarity on a scale of one to ten. Note any significant emotional shifts or periods of brain fog.

Cravings Log. Record what was craved, when the craving occurred, and whether it was acted upon. Also note whether the craving passed on its own or required intervention such as drinking water or having broth.

Symptoms Log. For participants with specific symptoms such as joint pain, headaches, skin rashes, or other conditions, record the presence and intensity of each symptom daily.

Monthly Summary. At the end of each month, review the tracked data and write a brief summary of progress, challenges, and any adjustments made to the protocol.

How to Track

Terra provides two formats for tracking. Participants may choose whichever suits their preference.

Printable PDF. A set of forms designed for printing and manual entry. Each week has its own page. Each day has spaces for fasting, salts, blood glucose, energy, sleep, digestion, mood, cravings, and symptoms. A monthly summary page is included.

Editable Spreadsheet. An Excel or Google Sheets file with pre-formatted columns and automatic calculations. Energy averages, blood glucose trends, and other metrics are calculated automatically. Charts are generated from the data.

Both formats are available to program members. Instructions for use are included with each download.

What to Look For

Tracking reveals patterns that are not obvious in daily experience.

Blood glucose trends. A single high reading is not concerning. A trend of rising readings over two weeks is worth investigating. A trend of falling readings indicates that the sequence is working.

Energy patterns. Energy that is consistently low in the afternoon may indicate that broth intake needs to be increased or that the two-hour wait is being shortened. Energy that fluctuates with the menstrual cycle is normal and does not indicate a problem with the sequence.

Sleep quality. Sleep that improves over the first month is common. Sleep that worsens may indicate that the evening meal is too large or too close to bedtime.

Digestion. Digestion that becomes regular and quiet is a sign of gut healing. Digestion that remains erratic may indicate that food interference is still present or that broth intake is insufficient.

Cravings. Cravings that diminish over time indicate that the body is receiving what it needs. Cravings that intensify may indicate that the body is detoxifying and that extra support is needed.

When to Review

Tracked data should be reviewed weekly for small adjustments and monthly for overall progress assessment.

Weekly review. Look at the past seven days. Are fasts being completed consistently? Is blood glucose trending in the right direction? Are energy ratings stable or improving? If not, identify the variable that changed. Did a restricted food creep back in? Was the two-hour wait shortened? Was broth skipped on multiple days?

Monthly review. Look at the past four weeks. Has average blood glucose declined? Has average energy increased? Have symptoms diminished? If progress is slower than expected, review the tracking data for patterns. Some participants find that progress stalls during certain weeks of the month. Some find that progress accelerates after a specific point in the rotation.

End of program review. At the conclusion of three months, review the full dataset. The cumulative effect is often most visible when comparing month one to month three. Many participants who felt that progress was slow discover that their month three numbers are dramatically better than their month one numbers.

Troubleshooting with Tracking Data

When progress is slower than expected, tracking data provides answers.

Blood glucose is not improving. Check fasting compliance. Has the fasting window been shortened? Have calories been consumed during the fasting window? Check food interference. Have restricted foods been reintroduced? Check medication. Has medication been adjusted appropriately as blood glucose improved?

Energy is not improving. Check broth intake. Is broth being consumed on most eating days? Is the broth made from browsing animal bones? Check the two-hour wait. Is the wait being shortened? Check sleep. Is sleep quality adequate?

Digestion is not improving. Check food interference. Are high-phytate or high-oxalate foods still being consumed? Check broth intake. Is broth being consumed before meals? Check the two-hour wait. Is the wait being observed fully?

Cravings are not diminishing. Check sugar and processed food intake. Even small amounts can perpetuate cravings. Check meal composition. Meals that are low in protein and fat may leave the body hungry for nutrients.

Summary of Tracking Templates

Tracking is a tool, not a requirement. Participants who find tracking stressful or obsessive are encouraged to track less frequently or not at all. The goal is restoration, not data collection. For those who find tracking helpful, the templates provide a structured way to observe progress and troubleshoot challenges.

These tracking templates are for educational purposes only. Blood glucose data should be shared with your healthcare provider. Do not adjust medication based solely on tracked data without physician supervision.
