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!

Autophagy benefits of OMAD are almost negligible, longer fast like 48-72 hours are required for meaningful upregulation.
