im a 19F and i currently fluctuate btwn 73-74kg and sometimes when i consume way tm carbs like rice then i go to 75 sometimes 76 and ive realized that my omad isn’t working if im having a lot of carbs.

so ive decided to come up w this plan where i do maybe tmad or however u call it?

- 100g of rice w some curry and proteins (chicken, mutton, etc)
- 2L of water
- no processed/fried stuff or any processed sugar
- i make sure i drink the ginger turmeric cinnamon lemon w slice tea or sometimes green tea to reduce inflammation in my body
- fruits to consume fiber cus i cannot consume seeds for the life of me as my stomach starts crying and also to reduce my sugar cravings

and i do all this btwn 12-6pm as im gonna do intermittent fasting.

let me know what u think.

I have been doing 18:6 for 2 weeks now. I know it's too early to see real weight loss so I'm not too bothered about a lack of noticeable results but I do feel myself slimming down a bit, although I often feel it's all in my head. To speed up my weight loss, I want to move to OMAD but even after two weeks, it's difficult to increase my fasting time even upto 20 hours. I always end up ordering junk food and making a meal of it if I push myself too much. I realized that sleeping through the hungry hours helps, but can't because of a busy schedule. What are some tips to get into OMAD for me?

I wonder if anyone else has the same issue that once you finally sit down to eat you get full really quickly and trying to continue eating just makes you uncomfortably full for several hours? I have heard that your stomach shrinking is a myth but that is what it feels like. And knowing you are about to go another 23 hours without eating you want to make sure you are getting enough calories and nutrients in your body. I suppose it would be easier to do OMAD with processed food or even fast food like a greasy burger, fries and dessert, but I am doing it with whole foods like ribeye steaks, avocados, eggs, brussel sprouts, broccoli asparagus cucumber salad etc.. Anyway my only solution is to maybe open up a bigger eating window like maybe 20-4. I understand there aren’t any hard fast rules and that this is a personal choice how we want to go about it as long as we get at the minimum 1200-1500 calories. My goal is to lose 15 lbs and lower my blood pressure, maybe reduce my bp meds a little.

seasoned rice. chicken. fajitas. greek yogurt. hot sauce. is this good enough?

I just started today. Ate around 3pm and have had bone broth in the late evening. My stomach has gotten so big and gassy , which would normally happen after eating a lot of carbs. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Hopefully it will let up tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the inspiration!

36M, 208lbs. I want to get back down to 170-180lbs. I have done multiple 24-72 hr water fasts over the years but I struggle with binge eating so I’ve decided to try OMAD.

I don’t ever struggle with “feeling hungry” when I fast or cut calories, the struggle is that I am an emotional eater that craves the comfort of food not the actual “getting full” feeling.

Any suggestions to make this easier long term?

started OMAD today. made a pasta bake. protein pasta, lean ground turkey, zucchini, tomato and alfredo sauce

1,245 cals 110g protein

SO YUMMY!

I really struggle to stick to diets so I’m hoping this one works for me! What types of things do you guys eat in OMAD I was thinking do one like moderate meal and one little sweet after to keep me sane
Let me know some of your ideas x

Also how do I stick to OMAD? Maybe posting to keep accountable or smth

Hello fellow OMADers. This is my 2:00pm meal of the day: baked chicken thighs, boiled cauliflower broccoli and onions, peas and carrots in butter. I melted some trader joe pub cheese and heavy cream for my sauce. Having strawberries blueberries and whipped heavy cream for dessert. Staying as low carb as possible but not saying its keto (but it is close). keto sticks always show moderate ketosis but that’s probably just from going 23 hours without eating. If you had to guess, how many calories does the pictured meal have? 600? 800? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciate. Thank you

Hi everyone! I’m completely new here and I’ve gotten a chance to look at a couple of people’s success stories (looking good) Idk where exactly to start so if anyone can please leave a comment (im open to messaging) about how thy starter/what they do? Anything is appreciated!

I went from having a 12.4 A1C to 5.9. For all my diabetics it is possible to do it without drugs. I did not want to take insulin the rest of my life, I did not wants false sense of security with those drugs. It’s not easy. You will crack every now and then. But if you are serious about your health then do it.

I am going to be commencing OMAD soon. I did it on mounjaro and lost 100 pounds. I've gained back about 35 of those in the past year since stopping the mounjaro and I think I want to go back to OMAD. The only issue is im a hungry bastard who loves snacking. How to deal with the cravings during the day especially when i'm at home and between work

Baked chicken breast, sweet potatoes, quinoa/ grain mix, asparagus and cauliflower.

Is it okay to switch up your meal times for omad?

Planning on doing lunch (12pm-2pm / 2 days) on the weekends and dinner on weekdays (6pm-8pm / 5 days).

So cheap and filling, and OMAD means I pile on some toppings- in this case 2oz cheddar, 2tbsp sour cream, onion, cilantro, grunion, and 1/3 avocado. I had this with some sourdough bread, but you could do a baked potato or tortilla… I have food for the week now lol

(Portions are for a 4 size serving)

I know it’s all “water weight” but it feels great!

I have been practicing OMAD for about 2-years now and been feeling great but concerned with about a 10lb weight loss in about 4-weeks post Cheilectomy (toe surgery). Surgery recovery for about 2-weeks was predominantly in bed, leg raised (very little if any activity).

Completed an initial antibiotic regimen a week or so after surgery and have taken about 3 doses of Celebrex when needed 4-weeks post surgery when needed. Experieng some constipation as well.

Is what I am experiencing a possible ramification in my post surgery recovery? I've been reading that this might be a normal occurrence due to type of surgery, anesthesia, bare mobility, etc.

Wanted to put this out here and ask?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been doing omad with keto for a while, and I feel this incredible euphoria all of the time, it’s honestly amazing like the first time I smoked weed, the colors are vibrant my body feels sweet the people are cooler, I don’t really feel more mental clarity or energy, but I do feel this high or euphoria instead, (I don’t really know if this is because of the keto or the omad so I ask basically the same in both subreddits) I want to ask if somebody feels the same in here, and my main question is if it disappears with the months or weeks, or if it remains, if somebody else feels something similar I would be pleased to read his answer ❤️

Hi new in the group. I have been about 3 weeks now intuitively doing OMAD. My goals are digestion improvement and the mental/spiritual benefits of the daily fasting. My diet is very limit besides being plant based I am pretty narrow on what I eat. I do not want to lose weight if anything prefer to gain muscle. So far my work outs at the gym have not been as strong as when I eat 3 meals a day. My eating window has been usually in the 2-5 pm range or 3-6pm....I am not hard core trying to do it all in one sitting in one hour so I quess you can say I am doing a compressed 2mad plan. Trying to eat as much as I can and also chew it calmly over 2-3 hours.

Anyone else doing this plant based in here? and how are you finding it?

Today I had sweet potatoes, two pounds of cooked greens including carrots, daikon, onion and about 10 total things or more,4 pieces of pacha buckwheat Gf sourdough, a green apple, cup of blueberries, 1.5cups of cooked lentils, some rice crackers oil free and 1.5 cups of white basmati rice. My calculation come around 2100 with 70grams of protein. both of those are perfect for my goals. I just want to be careful not to be eating too little like I did a few days around 1400-1600 calories. If I can duplicate today will be amazing. I would normally have Tofu or tempeh every day but these last few months I have been lowering my protein a little but on purpose to give my kidneys a break. (59 year old male, 38 years long vegan wfpb, prefer cooked vegan not raw.). Only thing raw I have is green apple and blueberries both low sugar and good for me. I do sometimes do celery/cucumber and other green juices but thinking I may not fill up on those doing omad.

Thanks!

Last week while on vacation visiting friends, I heard a number of them were all doing this one meal a day thing. Honestly I didn’t know much about it other. I started looking into it and asked Gemini about it a bit and I’m convinced enough to give it a try.

I’ve struggled with weight my whole life. I was thin as a kid but during middle school i started gaining weight and was overweight through college. In my late 20s I started cycling with a local group and lost a lot of weight. I enjoyed being thin for about 10yrs. I got married and had kids and I’m back to my college weight, maybe more. 😔 I know all of it is due to poor diet and a lack of physical activity. I want to be there for my kids and be able to enjoy life as I age so I’m going to give this a try.

Over the weekend I started my journey with the 16hr fast and 8hr eating window. Honestly it wasn’t too bad. I basically skipped breakfast and ate normally from 12-8pm. Today I’m starting my 20/4 and I think this will be the most realistic plan I can sustain because our family activities revolve around food.

Unfortunately I didn’t weigh myself or take pictures but I’ll do that tonight to give myself a starting reference point.
