I find getting back into OMAD difficult too. I used to have to have a splurge day for sanity but now it is much better for me to not have splurge days so I don't have to go through the struggle of getting back into it over and over again.1

first weigh in this morning @ 201.0 lbs, I've been on OMAD 5 days now and every day is getting easier
diet is going as planned so far, trying to get in a good grove for the first couple of weeks to build on good habits: getting good quality food, making the time to meal prep and fasting outside the eating window1 -
It does get easier. I find if it feels like it isn't happening, some coconut oil will do the fix.0

everything was going according to plan, flawless beautiful OMAD meals until I fukked up thurs, fri, and sat ate a bunch of crap, so prbly destroyed any progress
at least my elbow injury has gotten better,I'm dreading the weight in tmw morning, hopefully next week will be better0 -
2nd weigh in: 203.2 lbs
it wasn't that bad after all, a couple of pounds up, I also started with creatine, so some water weight funckiness is expected
will focus on completing this week no pigging out, baby steps lol0 -
end the week badly this time again, 4 good omad days then 3 crappy non omad days, I'm entertaining the idea to go to an alternate day fasting schedule, so I'd be extending the fasting window to 47 hours, just a trial run, a couple weeks to jump start the weight loss, then I'll go back to standard omad
tomorrow morning 3rd weigh in, hope I didn't gain much this time0 -
yesterdays 3rd weigh in 202.0 lbs
I keep hovering around the 200s, but not gor long since I started the alternative day fasting schedule
this week I have tue/thurs/sat off and the rest omad days0 -
I have to just try to stick to OMAD (20:4 for me). Longer seems to backfire for me although some have done well doing that.
I'm trying a new routine, I run 3xweek and I plan on eating normal carb omad night before that and then lc omad on the days I run. I get a real drain on the glycogen doing that (close to 3000kcal) before I eat and then I'm still not getting in carbs tell the next evening after all that. I think that forces a big draw on the glycogen and hopefully a lot of gluconeogenisis and lipolysis. Will see.0 -
I actually did great, had great sleep with vivid dreams, woke up an hour before the clock completed rested, no hunger no negative sides, I think I stroke gold with this alternate day fasting schedule, I eat so much volume of food with so much water and fiber that I think I was needing more time in between meals
we'll see0 -
If it works, is safe, and sustainable, do it!0

on day 5 combining OMAD and ADF, no regrets
I cant believe I didn't try this before, less time dedicated to cooking/eating meals with a 45+ hour fasting window followed by a feast, eating until Im bursting at the seams, I feel like I'm getting my OMAD grove back, thank the gods

4th weight in this morning 199.6 lbs
I was expecting a bigger loss but I'll take it, this week I have 3 OMAD meals tue/thu/sat and the rest is sweet water fasting , loving it so far, not even hungry0 -
That's a good loss, congrats!0
-
quick midweek update, everything going according to plan, Im dropping body mass so fast is not even funny, not sure how it will translate to the weigh ins short term, since I eat a large volume of food plus the creatine. loading
the coolest thing is I'm not hungry at all on fasting days, so for now smooth sailing0 -
Nice to not be hungry. I'm always hungry!0
-
5th weigh in 193.8 lbs
2 weeks completed without deviation,Im aware prbly half if not more of the weight change is glycogen depletion, but the numbers are heading in the right direction, and more important compliance is good
