[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering adopting a modified OMAD to lose the rest of my postpartum weight (35 pounds - baby is nearly one and is weaned).  I’m considering skipping breakfast - having black coffee or tea - drinking some broth for lunch, and then eating a normal dinner.  Has anyone tried something similar? What were your results?[/quote]

Do some research  before making this choice. All the research establishes that IF doesn't result in any greater weight loss than minding portions and eating healthier food choices.

Further, cortisol spikes in the early morning and particularly for midlife women, failing to feed your body as soon as you get up to level off that cortisol spike drives greater hunger later in the day - your OMAD may result in larger portions being consumed than if you started your day with a nutrient dense satiating meal.

I start my consumption of fuel as soon as I get up with a serving of walnuts, a few baby carrots and my morning caffeine which happens to be green tea. That usually curbs my hunger until late morning/lunchtime when I have my big meal of the day, then in late afternoon/early evening I eat a lighter meal - nothing after 6/7pm so my body gets a 12 hour break from digesting food every day.

I changed my diet 8 months ago and have been losing weight steadily at a healthy rate of loss. I ditched nearly all refined sugar (I have the occasional treat, but it's very occasional), added sugars, ultra processed foods and now cook 98% of my meals myself from fresh, wholesome ingredients. My diet is not bland at all and I actually consume some very rich and pleasurable foods, but my hunger is under control because I eat both timed and type of fuel with the intent to counteract normal hormone fluctuations for a women of my age.[/quote]
