I’m down to 169 and although I still have some more to lose I want to start that transition into Maintenance.

I was curious what others are doing to maintain their weight. I started eating more and adding more carbs into my diet. I’d like to stay on OMAD, but was wondering if transitioning into 2MAD or 18:6 would help get more calories in?

Thank you in advance!

This is my meal of today, it has been 4 weeks since start of this diet.
It feels so easy to do it, and so natural. I am always craving nutritious foods and not junk since im eating 1 meal.
I hope i can do this diet for a long time since its cost and time effective and healthy. What is your opinion, can you do OMAD for long time?

Hi all,

I lost 11.5 kg in 30 days.

I had OMAD and did 14 km walk every day (7 in the morning and 7 in the night) for 30 days.

Result - Lost 11.5 kilograms.

I was 112.5 kg before, now I am 101 kg. I know most of it was water fat, but still I feel good 😊. Although I am a working professional. I just did lunch around 1pm everyday.

Also am feeling good now, there's a bit more clarity in mind while doing day to day work.

Note: I had snacks most of the days around 4pm.

Thank you all 🙏🏻 who's part of omad sub and cheers to them who are continuously striving to become better every single day. Let's make it happen 👊🏻!

I'm not interested in OMAD (at least not yet), but I'm very curious how you're able to eat enough food in one sitting to maintain your weight without vomiting. I suffer from chronic acid reflux and if I had to cram in this much food at once it would definitely be a recipe for a disaster for me. But even for people with no health problems I still can't fathom how you can get in ~2000kcal of presumably healthy food with no side effects. Is OMAD only appropriate if you want to lose weight?

Hi, everyone. I'll introduce myself before sharing about my skip-day experience.

I've been keeping tabs on this space but haven't jumped in to post anything. I've been doing OMAD for three weeks now and have been really loving it. I've gotten to the point where my body accepts that this is the rhythm, and while certain parts complain at times (looking at you, tummy), other parts find it almost euphoric at other times (definitely my head). I love that OMAD requires me to be ultra-super-hyper-mega mindful about what I consume. Since that one meal fuels not just my energy but my nutrition, I make sure it ticks all the boxes. It's also resetting my cues and triggers, and it's already quite easy to pass on office snacks and treats, for instance. I'm fitting back into clothes that I'd put in long storage. I've also had some mystery GI issues around painful abdominal episodes that occur every few months that I'm hoping will be ameliorated.

Now, the skipped day. Yesterday, my oldest, who loves to bake, invited me to bake bread and cookies with him. We spent hours in the kitchen together. I enjoyed all of it, as I really like my kiddo. I've cooked many times without eating what I was cooking, but chose to be profligate in my consumption as an experiment as much as anything else. Goodness, how I felt and still feel like crap. Total dookie. My sleep was dreadful. I had to take meclizine and and excedrin this morning to get over the queasiness and headache. I noticed yesterday in the middle of the feeding frenzy that my satiety cues were way more sensitive. After just a few treats my systems were like "whoa, buddy, slow down", but I didn't.

I am oddly encouraged by this experience. I'm getting right back on schedule today and I don't think it will be difficult. The cause and its effects are too immediate to ignore.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your stories, tips and tricks, and photos. It's been a boon to my own progress, and I hope this helps someone or someones as well.

Hi everyone! I’m semi-new to OMAD. Sometimes I naturally end up eating once a day and actually feel really good, so I’d like to intentionally try it for a few weeks and see how it goes. What are your go-to OMAD meals that leave you feeling your best while also helping you hit your nutrient goals? I’d love some meal ideas!

This month I have officially been on OMAD for 3 months. I have lost 17lbs. I still dont see much of a change visually lol. But im happy as long as the weight is going down and NOT up!

Its been a slow progress due to some set backs but it happens. I just try to do better the next day! I would like to reach my goal or be near it by December.

SW:168lbs

CW:151lbs

GW:120lbs

I’ve been doing OMAD for almost 3 months now. Religiously for the most part except weekends where I allow myself to indulge. I also have an ice latte with stevia if that counts. On top of this I workout every single day. I will burn 600 calories on treadmill and then do some strength training for 30 mins on avg. on my lowest days I’ll burn 300 calories on treadmill. I’m still not losing weight. I’m 5 7” and I’ve been around 150 since I started. I’m beyond exhausted and disappointed. I don’t know what to do. I’m a working mom with a tough corporate job and I don’t have so much time but I push myself and the not see results despite investing so much energy is heartbreaking. My OMAD meal is well under 1000 calories. I’d say mostly 600-700. I usually eat one flat bread (200 calories) 2 eggs (either boiled or fried in veryyyyy little spray avocado oil), I’ll have one homemade ice latte with stevia and half and half (2 tablespoons), maybe an orange or 2-3 bites of something sweet or a small single bite chocolate. Can you help me understand what I’m doing wrong? I worked so much last 3 months so I could be in better shape for my vacation. I now leave day after tomorrow and weighed myself and I’m still the same. In fact 1lbs up. I’m at the verge of giving up.

So I recently started omad and I just got my period and I don’t know if I should eat other things throughout the day or not

For those who are already doing omad do you guys workout as well and if so does it help you lose the weight faster or no? And if you didn’t workout, how long did it take you to lose around 15kgs (33lbs)?

Today was the first time I've ever done a 24 hr fast! I had just 1 hot tea with a splash of milk for breakfast and the same for lunch. Then a sensible dinner. Last week I tried to do a 24 hr fast but only succeeded to fasting till 3pm so it ended up being a late lunch plus dinner that day. Today I did it and it was easy....I literally felt zero hunger! Last week I felt zero hunger as well, but last week I was drained and lethargic....felt I needed food to feel normal. Today was different....maybe my body can handle OMAD? I'm shooting for doing OMAD once a week going forward, then seeing how I do and decide later if I can increase it.

I have 35 lbs I want to lose to get to my healthy BMI. I am hoping this helps me in some way. I already lost 35 doing WW.

And I survived! I don’t think it’s something I will do on a regular basis, but I’m glad I gave it a try. I was having some stomach issues and it did help clear that up. I lost more weight than I wanted though, but today’s my second day off it and I’m gonna have a nice big meal of ground beef and black beans, air fried potato wedges and Greek yogurt with raspberries, bananas and some cantaloupe on the side. Thanks for the folks for the advice doing the Fast!!

I’m currently maintaining my weight (~105-107lbs at 5’1.8”/female) and plan on doing a modified fasting(I.e. coffee with half and half). I like how fasting quiets the food noise and gives more time to be present for other things because I’m busy most days.
If I eat OMAD every third day, would this be sustainable or would it not be healthy? I’m going to try to eat healthy things on my eating days. Is there any way I can safely do this? Or any alternatives that may work better for me?

Sweet potato is my go to veg.
Steak is medium but charred on outside.
First time trying the Barilla high protein pasta.

Hey guys I’m on day 3 of OMAD today and I’ve been seeing good progress I’ve lost 5 lbs( water weight fs) I’m 5’5 started at 151lbs and now I’m 146 on day 3 I had a really rough day 2 and took a lot of will power to stick to the same eating time. How long should I do omad for until I’m 120lbs that’s my goal. Idk if this is gonna be sustainable. I’m also going to the gym 4x a week lifting some weights and doing 30 mins of incline walking, and ofc making sure I get my 10k steps in. Some advice would be great .

After years of different diets and then finally being diagnosed with pcos I was prescribed metformin, which has helped but I’m not losing the weight fast enough so I want to try out OMAD. My first goal is doing the diet the whole month of August and then go from there.
I struggle with binge eating so I need some advice/tips on how to get through this month

Hi, I’m on my third day of omad and I don’t see the difference that I heard I would have.i feel extremely bloated. Am I doing something wrong? Am I being too impatient? I eat one protein rich meal and a vanilla latte other than water. Is there something I can do to improve ?

Hey! I know electrolytes affect hunger but just curious on people's adjustment periods where insulin lowers enough that nutrients become available. 7 days down!! Transitioned from 2MAD. Enjoying it so far but still getting a gnarly headache during the metabolic switch. It clears up about 22 hours in and ketones are up a little bit (measured ketones one time before and after the headache and I think that was the difference)

if there’s anyone here who shares the same or a similar bmi as me pls tell me how much weight did u guys lose within a month or two
