OMAD ADVICE

Jawillard60

Just curious...can you drink a protein shake or green smoothies if you eat one meal a day? I might try OMAD once a week to start. But, it may be a little tough until I get used to it.
Thanks for any info.

What do you expect from OMAD? Strictly speaking, if you have this smoothy outside your one meal then it's not one meal a day. But OMAD does no magic to weightloss, meaning you can do whatever you like.

OMAD doesn't have biological weight-loss advantages over, say, two or three meals.

Calories in < Calories out. That's it.

If you go to "Groups" in the navigation bar at the top and type in "OMAD" there are some groups you can join, where you'll get more support for this than in the main forums.

You could call it TMAD instead?
Liquid food is still food.

In terms of body composition while losing weight there's a good chance that the protein shake in addition to your main meal slot would be slightly beneficial.

Worth thinking about whether choosing a tougher path is sensible though, dieting is hard enough without making things harder.

Liquid food is still food...makes sense. I just wasn't sure about it. Definitely don't want to make losing weight any harder. Thanks for setting me on the right path!

Technically not omad, but if it fits in your calories it doesn’t matter. I tried omad for a bit, and it was just a recipe for binging. I would HIGHLY recommend you slowly work your way up to it. Extend your fasts by about an hour or two each time, do not go straight into it
