Hi. I just started OMAD this month and so far I've lost over 3kg. I'm very happy that this seem to work for me. I love the lifestyle. This is the first time in my life I managed to control my eating when my hormones rage every month-and I'm 50 years old!

I started with having a cheat day every Friday as a reward to myself after a week well done. Unfortunately this slows weight loss so had to stop this.

I eat 1000-1200 kcal every 22-23 hours, usually within the hour and lowcarb/keto.
I've been lowcarb for a few years. I naturally gravitated towards less carbs even before I knew it was a thing because I noticed carbs made me feel unwell.

I also truly believe that low carb is what kept me at reasonable weight.

I recently gained weight because I went back to carbs when my doctor wanted to test me for glucose intolerance. For this test you need to eat carbs for a few weeks beforehand.

I didn't feel good, I felt sick and I'm never going to go back to full carb again. It was so bad it scared me.I have an auto immune disease and symptom free for years and suddenly I started getting symptoms again!

I started March 6 at 82kg and today I'm 78.7. My first goal is 70kg. My profile is public so anyone is welcome to take a look.

Just adding some stats: I'm 169cm (5'7") I eat between 12:00pm - 2:00pm.
My name is Marie

Welcome to OMAD all you newbies

Welcome everyone!

Good evening. My name is Robert and I live in the Southeast US. 44 years young.

I'm 5'11 and currently 241lbs, began at 273 in early January. I want to be below 200lbs on average, with a long-term goal of 180lbs and 10% bodyfat.

Will be starting OMAD tomorrow. The eating window will be between 4-8 PM, intially.

Let's say I've had a lifetime of mood and weight issues. Failed relationships and unfulfilled potential. Well meaning doctors...

I've had some successes and am grateful. However, I'm tired of feeling so up and down. It has been to the point of considering an early exit.

My latest search led me to this "insane" idea of intermittent fasting. Luckily, I'm an open-minded guy. The science made sense.

Why not optimize it with OMAD? Food would no longer control me, nor the never ending mood cycles. Could this cure bipolar? Depression? Anxiety?

My doctor is astounded and intrigued. He is on board.

I'm willing to give it a whirl.

IF has resulted in 32lbs lost (from 273 to 241) since January. However...

This is a constant battle - multiple meals in a short window. Just more chances to binge.

I started using this app 1/2 the way into my journey. Have been watching and commenting on Joe's videos for a month.

Long story short, I need this and a little support.

Will do all I can to help anyone here.

Thanks.

Welcome everyone!

Start your own progress thread so we can follow and support you!

Hey Robert! Seems we have a bit in common. I am 42 from the Southeastern US. I started at 303 lbs. in January and am down 47 lbs. through a combo of IF and and OMAD. My current goal is to enjoy my meal tonight, and that's enough for me these days. This way of eating is revolutionary (at least from my vantage point.)

Although I cannot speak to the eradication of depression or anxiety, I can tell you the cessation of the feeling that food is ruling my thoughts and desires throughout the day has been a relief for me on a very acutely conscious level. I get more done at work, and have more fun playing, because I just don't think about food all day. In full disclosure, I do plan my meals with thoughtfulness, prepare them with anticipation, and enjoy them with presence. All in all, I feel it is a very healthy relationship, which is something I have not been able to claim for some time personally.

So welcome to the group, and to OMAD! We are here to help.

I feel so hurt and I fight with him all the time..
so I really need your advice and supports...
much appreciated and thanx in advance.

Maybe you had too many calories in your meals. Try filling your plate up with lots of vegetables and fruit so there isn't room for higher calorie foods. Don't let your brother discourage you and dont give up!

thank u dear for your kind words :-)

well to be honest my meals were mostly carbs and sweet...I have a sweet tooth...and I cant imagine living without carbs...maybe I need check the keto forum

Eat the carbs but after filling up on low carb stuff so there isn't room for the high carb stuff like Brenda said!

Welcome all. Please start a thread!

Welcome to all of the new OMADers!

Forgot to add I’m only 5ft tall so have very little leeway, and have gained quite a few pounds back, hoping to get back to around 111 pounds which is where I was.
