You sound like you're on a crash diet.
Maybe try more moderation. So you can keep up the new habits after you lose the weight.3 -
What do you mean I sound like I'm on a crash diet? I'm still eating all the calories I need. I dont quite understand what you mean?5

Omad is not a crash diet

It's not my thing but it still hits calorie requirements and some people love it.1 -
I do one Omad, it works REALLY well for me. I have been doing this for almost a year now and my health stats are vastly improved. I have reached my goal weight for the first time in 10 years. I have battled my weight for my entire life. Multiple times I have lost significant amounts of weight only to fail at maintenance. Various methods have worked for the loss, none worked for me long term. I think this new diet/lifestyle works for ME (Omad is not for everyone) because breakfast is very easy for me to skip, I do have coffee with a bit of milk. Lunch is also easy to skip, I just drink water. Now that I am in maintenance, I add a bit of fruit to my water and then the vast majority of my calories are saved for what has historically been for me, the hardest meal to not overeat, dinner. I like to eat a lot,and to feel full. With my calories "banked", I can do this. Plus, I do meal prep in the morning and chop up lots of vegetables and lean proteins which taste amazing when you have not eaten all day. I feel satisfied with these simple, healthy meals in ways that I never have before. So I say try it, see if it works for you. Everyone has different needs and motivations. There is nothing magic about when your calories enter your body, it just matters on the amount for fat loss, and for maintenance, it has to be something that works for YOU and keeps you healthy.14

You said you're losing a pound a day. That's pretty drastic.1 -
Hey OP, as I said in your other OMAD thread - I don't believe it gives me any competitive edge to losing weight. I think I would have lost the same amount at the same intake but spread over separate meals. OMAD does prevent me from snacking though, and I enjoy it, so I stick with it. If it works for you, it works for you - as it does for me - but I'm not of the sincere belief that OMAD is any more competitive in terms of numbers compared to any other style of eating. I see people on my friends list at similar intakes, spreading over 3 meals, losing at a similar rate to myself.
Since you asked for pictures... here's some. These are more 'progress' than before/after since I have a ways to go yet. Took me about 5 and a half months to lose that amount of weight. I don't have any full-length pictures of myself at my true highest weight but that's about as close as it gets.
224lbs > 157lbs (I'm 5'3 - currently 151lbs (I just had an almighty water drop lol) - photo was taken end of Feb)
(I lost over a foot on my hips, similar on my waist)
Aaaand how the weight changed my face.
As I said... I think if I had eaten 3 meals a day, equalling the same number of calories overall, I'd have still lost that weight. OMAD just helps to keep me on track, and I always tended to be an evening eater - it just condensed that and cut out the frills.

I started 16:8 a week ago and really like it. Now I'm interested in Starting OMAD. Did you find it hard to consume all your calories in one meal at first? My current intake is 1750 calories. I just hate that stuffed feeling. Any tips on getting started?0

Nothing wrong with single daily meals, look at the religious people who are fasting duing the day and eating only once at night, they have been doing that for generations and no problematic health issues (only for certain months of the year, so unsure how sustainable a long term diet like that would be)
I think everyone is looking at a starvation + metabolism shock issue here because it does sound extreme in that sense. I myself wouldnt be able to sustain it, I gym too much to miss energy sources
If the OMAD is working and need help with the cravings, there are certain medications that can be prescribed to help with this (Duramine) no appetite + sped up heart rate + energy out the wazoo2 -
As a Muslim we fast a month a year but that doesn't mean we only have one meal a day we fast from sunrise till sunset it has its health benefits (medically proven) but we do not do it for longer maybe few days around the year if one chooses to. A balance in life is needed7
