Robert's Southern Fried OMAD Journey
Replies
-
Doing really well this week, even with some extreme family issues.
Actually, I have great pride in staying on course. First time in a long time.
OMAD gives a baseline of control. When life is chaotic, having “diet” in check takes away a major worry, imho.
I’m using a wider window to eat, but the same amount of food. 4 OMAD days, 2 four- hour windows. Tomorrow will be OMAD, a rich and awesome meal.

OMAD is awesome for feeling in control. Theres no guesswork about eating this or that food or having to eat a particular amount, it's so easy just delaying eating, then eating whatever and then stopping.1

Right. I’m currently tracking food intake more as accountability.
“Oh crap, I would have to log this snack!”
Also lets me know if I need more veggies, fat, etc. Fiber is important.
However, it is unnecessary.
I try to track electrolytes and my deficient vitamins as well.
My main issue is being sure to eat enough to satisfy until the next day.

Well, I had no loss or gain this week.
235lbs this morning, 4/29.
38lbs lost!
My first potential plateau. No biggie.
Guess it isn’t truly a plateau unless I reach 2-3 weeks.
Looking back, I didn’t stick to the plan as well as possible. Was a crazy week. These were situations where I smacked constantly, in the past.
Going to really buckle down tomorrow and set a solid pattern for May.

You have got this! Staying the same is no biggie, you can move on!
Stay strong!1 -
Maintaining in the face of stress is a win, I figure!1
-
Well, I'm down 1lb this week and have been experimenting with calories and weight training.
It's all good, believe my system has been hammered out!1 -
I agree with everyone else! I am never able to maintain during really stressful times, so you are doing great with actually losing!0

One pound is pretty sweet!0

Doing well! A bad day or two doesn't have to derail us like you know. Just get back at it and you will get there. You've made great progress already!1

Well, I needed a reboot, like this past February. Too much food volume, I believe...
Just feeling heavy, even with plenty of veggies.
So, I’m working on my 25th hour of an electrolyte mixture water fast. I’ll break it tomorrow night. So strange, gives me a high of sorts!
Think I’ll be doing this once a month.

great job, way to stay in control during stressful times. I have been having a teaspoon of sea salt during fasting and it is really helping me feel better, i was becoming low on electrolytes myself I found out. mainly sodium. I have been eating avocado and dark leaves for magnesium and potassium.0

Yep, your keto style will drain electrolytes! I try to eat plenty of greens, but you know...dkayingram wrote: »Good luck!
Thank you, the water fast went well. Full of energy today!0 -
Having a minor procedure performed today, had to fast for around 24 hours - so I bet my weight is down tomorrow significantly.1

I hope your procedure went well!0

Hope you do well!

Thanks!
I'm still fasting, food would just put my pressure on my abdomen.0 -
How are you feeling?0

I’m over the general anesthesia, so very well. Scar tissue removal from a previous abdominal surgery. Was interfering with exercise, etc. General soreness. Finally broke my fast tonight with chicken soup, substituting sliced cabbage for noodles!
Thanks for asking.

Thank you. Well, here is a graph of my progress, as of this morning:

I’m elated, just keeping plugging away!
Going to enroll and finish my Master’s degree.

Thanks! Shedding part of this excessive weight and having better overall nutrition really opens mental doors. I stopped my graduate work a few years back, due to declining health. @brittdee88 has inadvertently planted that seed in my whacky mind.
The fasting aspect does heal, the mental clarity component is not a myth.
My best friend from high school calling me a “fat boy” in January was a wake up call, even if he was being his usual self...

I get so annoyed when I hear someone calling someone else fat even if it is a joke, to me its not funny at all
You're doing great!!! I'm glad your procedure went well and congrats on enrolling to finish your masters degree

It's not cool, over 25 years later after high school graduation. However, we are adults and if he chooses to continue the high school jargon - that is on him. I forgive easily. Will never let him know his words struck a nerve.
Thank you.1 -
Sticks and Stones Robert use those words as more motivation! You are doing great! Congrats on going back to school! 0

I'm sorry he called you that - shame on him.
I am glad that you are getting better, though, and it is awesome that it is having ripple effects in other areas of your life! Come back over to the dark side of thick books and thin pockets 0
