    Hello I'm Deborah.
    Start weight: 239.4 lbs
    Current: 223.8 lbs
    Goal 140 lbs
    Height 5"4'

    I've been OMAD since January 13th. I've IF for two years without any weight loss. My struggles are medication for bipolar which causes weight gain.

    I have fallen in love with OMAD. I have an odd sleep schedule so I awake at 3 pm, I eat at 9:30pm. 23:1. I also eat a ketogenic diet. I started OMAD early Jan but didn't lose. When I combine keto with OMAD Ive lost 15.4 lbs in 33 days.

    I have approximately 85 lbs to lose. I'm thrilled I found OMAD.

    I quit all diet foods, sugar, artificial sweeteners, diet drinks. I believe I failed my weight loss journey before because I ate and drank those things.

    Originally 209 lbs

    I chose the omad approach due to work. I driver a truck for a living and my schedule fluctuates. I usually eat til I was full and then sit in a truck which usually left me feeling sluggish and tired. I'm usually lenient on the weekends but I don't go overboard. It's also easier for me to track my macs this way. Omad has allowed me to have a cookie or two without me sabotaging my day.

    Hi my name is Joeann, started omad Sunday feb 19. Have,nt been able to give up my morning decaf coffee ,coffee mate creamer and 2 pkgs of stevia yet. It helps me to make it to 3:00 pm in the afternoon.I chose 3:00 noon becuz it helps me not to over eat at night. So far,so good. Looking forward to making this work.

    Hello everyone, I'm Deborah. I started OMAD mid January 13th.

    Start weight 239.4 lbs
    Current 221.4 lbs
    5"4'
    Goal weight 140 lbs
    I OMAD around 9:30pm

    I'm in shock. I spent so much time struggling because I believed I could lose weight drinking diet soda, diet food, Atkins stuff, and artificial sweeteners. I gave that all up. I'm stunned and grateful to find OMAD and reconfigure LCHF to KETO I spent two years practicing IF but never heard of OMAD till early January. I don't know why but I wasn't able to lose weight on OMAD alone so I started KETO with. It's was a game changer. Though I did all that time fasting I never lost weight. So I tried all kinds of different fasting protocols. The resistance to loss may be thyroid I'm hypo or maybe it's medication for bipolar. But wow, OMAD and keto.... I'm sold! I've lost 18 lbs so far. 81 lbs to go!

    I'm 45 and feel it's going to be an amazing year!!qvsazedo82ou.jpg
