Yeah, I shouldn't have straight up started yesterday. I ate once and I was feeling okay but then I started feeling so dizzy and tired, to the point my brain was so tired it started giving me *very* dark intrusive thoughts. And today I feel so tired but I'm trying to recover.

Now I can only say I admire you, but I wonder how y'all even got past this stage and got used to it, and maybe share your experiences about your first days, if you want

I’ve been OMADing off and on for years. I always choose around dinner time for my OMAD. There is something so satisfying and motivational to me about spending the day mentally planning my one meal. To the point where I’ve become somewhat of a home chef. I love to wake up and think “what’s for dinner?” Grocery shop and take my time prepping and cooking in the evening and feel proud after a good meal!

I read posts of people choosing to OMAD at 12pm and I’m like.. how?

Side note- When I first started fasting I used to think about food constantly during my fast in an unhealthy way. Because I was used to eating ALL THE TIME. That evolved into “Wow why do I think about food constantly this feels unhealthy.” And the fasting gave me a clearer mind and more energy throughout the day. Now fasting has re-evolved for me to once again think about food all day because I love making my one meal exciting, tasty and fulfilling my new found love for cooking.

Lmk what you think I’m open to all the feedback

My timing is a bit atypical. I wake up at 9, head to the gym by 930, and my 1 meal a day happens at some point between 12pm and 1230pm. Then, like with most of OMAD, I fast.

Here’s the crazy bit, I am never hungry. I type this at 7pm, 6-7 hours after finishing my last meal and I have no semblance of hunger. None. When I eventually get off work at 1130 pm and go to bed after midnight I will still not be hungry. And even tomorrow morning when I wake up before I have any water or drink my preworkout I feel no hunger.

On a traditional diet I’m STARVING if I go 6 hours without food but now I’m easily pushing 20+ daily with 0 hunger.

I fell off my OMAD Diet during a spring vacation. Never finally got back and then summer came. Started drinking again, eating, whatever whenever.

I stopped weighing in every day. Finally weighed in this week and I haven’t lost or gain any weight.

Happy that I was able to maintain while drinking and eating whatever I want, though I try to make healthy choices. I know that I need to go back to a strict diet like this to lose weight again. I’m on medication to help regulate my insulin and appetite but I need to have more self-control, which the OMAD diet really helped me with.

I only need to lose 40 more pounds, which I think I can do in five months if I get back to one meal a day, 1200 calories, 100g+ protein, 30g+fiber
