I was trying to find some place where I could kind of journal on the process and progress of starting OMAD coming from doing IF (intermittent fasting) off and on for the past 2 years.
Hopefully this is the right place, if not, please redirect me; I did notice several others posting their progress but I just started so no progress yet but wanted to share my experience thus far.

I wanted to give some background information about how I found IF and OMAD:
Sometime in the past 2 years, I discovered IF- I think through NerdFitness, they wrote an article on it and it fascinated me and thus I began learning about the benefits of fasting. I also found the 5:2 book which I never finished reading. I can't recall how it felt in the beginning but it's always felt pretty natural for me and didn't face any struggles with fasting and discovered that it comes quite easy for me.

I've never been a huge breakfast person, mostly because I'm not a morning person and the longer I can sleep in, I will, with or without breakfast. So, I've been naturally IF'ing for years but didn't know the benefits and always felt I should be eating because that's what we are told by everyone.

I've also been trying to lose weight for as long as I can remember; I probably started gaining as a 4 or 5 year old from what I can see in pictures. Over the past 3 years I have been working on getting fit and healthy through lifting and cardio, counting calories and macros. The first two years were mostly successful with losing around 50lbs total ( I did gain about 15-20 lbs then lost it again within that time, gained another 15 or so, lost it and now I'm up.. another 15+ and in the process of getting back down again)

So now here I am trying OMAD and so far so good. I lost 4.4 lbs in just 3 days! I'm sure it's water weight but still, that's nice. The first 3 days were amazing. The 4th day I messed up because I had dessert an hour after my meal and the 5th day I went way off and got too hungry and ate late after work. Today I'm back on the grind. I'm feeling hungry only a few hours later and not sure why. I think I'm not drinking enough fluids.

So far, the benefits of the OMAD are incredible as far as how I feel and what I'm eating. I feel so incredibly sharp mentally and energetic (the first 4 days anyway). It's almost unreal how much energy and brain power I felt I had. I did have a few cups of coffee/tea but didn't go crazy with it. I also felt my mood was better overall. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll feel that way again since today I was tired and didn't do it officially; today felt more like an IF of 16:8 without the 8 ; ) I also found that fasting for 23-24 hours didn't feel like a big deal at all.

I have been sharing this with others and my zeal has kept people from questioning it haha. I am weary of telling certain people who believe in getting your macros in and eating 6 meals a day and all that. I still am trying to get more protein than fats and carbs but seems like carbs win sometimes. This is making me think ahead on what I'll eat for my meal and make sure that it's on the healthier side and has a lot of veggies and some fruit and lots of protein.

I have been sticking to the one plate rule, mostly. Sometimes I get food that's in a bowl and I know it would fit on one plate but I eat it out of the bowl. I've also had some smoothies with my meals or a protein shake. I know I'm eating way less than I'm used to but overall I'm excited about this and think it'll be great for me. I will continue to check in and hope that I can do this for at least one week straight and then see about a splurge day or if I can keep going for the two weeks like recommended.

I realize I'm long-winded, so please excuse me and I'll do a TL;DR for those who won't read all this ; )

TL;DR I've been doing IF on and off for a couple years, found OMAD, it's amazing, I lost 4.4 lbs in 3 days, off track for a couple, getting back on and love the benefits. I feel sharp mentally and super energetic during the fasts. I mostly follow the rules but occasionally digress. I'll check in to give updates on my experiences/results.
