Tell me about your OMAD experience

I'll sometimes do this to reset after overindulging over the weekend. I'll do OMAD on Monday and Tuesday and then eat normal the rest of the week. Works for me!

This sounds like a horrendous way to live. I can’t even imagine.

Once they overcome food addiction, they will be much better.

This isn't about food addiction. It's about low blood sugar.

It worked for me l lost 15 lbs in a matter in 4 months down to 175. But food habits didn't change and I gained it all back. Bwa wa wa.

I'm sorry for what you went through, but I do OMAD and I don't consider it an eating disorder. I no longer obsess over food. I drink bulletproof coffee which keeps me full, tea and seltzer. Then I eat a healthy, filling meal. And I don't feel deprived, because I used to do Keto and I hated not having fruit (besides berries) or root vegetables.

And I struggled w/ weight most of life, now I have no issue.

You're delusional. Eating one meal a day probably gets you to 800 calories if that. That's not healthy.

I'm usually around 1100-1200, because I use healthy fats like olive oil and avocado. And the coffee has fat in it, too, which is why I stay full. It took time to get used to, but I'm fine. Obviously not for everyone, but I don't feel deprived. It's easier than a restrictive diet where they tell you to cut out entire food groups.

I mean as of now, 4:09p EST, I have eaten anything. I had my coffee and tea and I'm not hungry. My body got used to eating later.

Yes, if suffer from diabetes. Everyone else with normal functioning body but carry excessive fat, perfectly fine.

This is OP. As mentioned, I’m not doing a water/clean fast - I’m having coffee with a bit of half and half, hot tea (herbal tea), and some broth in the run up to my meal. It’s going well so far - can see a physical reduction in inflammation and feel mentally clear and precise.

I’m quite overweight and tried intermittent fasting with a traditional “eating window” which just didn’t make any difference for me. I am hoping this is more effective!

I guess I'm not a person! (Or perhaps a poorly designed one?) My metabolism and inhuman appetite are in sync and I am able to eat incessantly (which I guess means more than once daily) while maintaining my weight.
