SoulSister's OMAD journey

I have a question maybe some of you can answer.
During the holidays i 'broke' my OMAD once and I had a pizza in the evening (my eating window is lunchtime otherwise). It was intentional I knew i would do it as I went out that day so I was really looking forward to it. However once I was eating the pizza I didn't quite like it. I was just not hungry and generally it was kind of a 'meh' experience (there was nothing wrong with the pizza per se). I noticed this when I have my cheat days too. Foods I was really looking forward to eating just doesn't taste as good now or i am just not eating them with that 'OMG this is so good' feeling I used to. Maybe that is the reason why I find OMAD now easier as this happened a couple of times so i know even if i would break my fast i would not enjoy the food that much anyway so why bother. I'm talking outside my eating window. So weird.
Why is that? Does anyone know?0 -

Probably mostly habit and mindset - I don't usually experience anything like that, HOWEVER note that I have other aids to make food extra delish anyway LMAO. Make sure you're not thinking of it as a "cheat" but rather as a conscious decision, that way it doesn't feel off limits?0 -
I think our tastebuds change as we don't eat or eat certain foods, too. They adapt a bit. So maybe the pizza tasted different because your tastebuds ae different.0
-
I totally agree with the tastebuds changing.....I love me some dark chocolate....and when I eat it now it is still awesome but not how I remember when I would eat all I wanted whenever I wanted.....I think it is also a change in our mindset as well...….0
-
Thanks for the responses ladies! I really was quite disappointed :0))0
-
I love dark chocolate better than the milk ones!0
-
I think that by eating omad we forcibly reduce our carb intake so when we eat a 'treat' outside our window our bodies are not really primed to need the fix. So it's not like what we remember as far as appeasing the fantasy. Maybe?0
-
This is very possible. Maybe i truly am fat adapted and when i have unnecessary carbs my body is just like meh, its ok but we dont really need it. Thanks for your response.1

11/01/19 - 166.6 lbs
25/01/19 - 165.1 lbs
My weight was fluctuating like crazy during this time.
I know as I got new scales for xmas so I weighed myself daily in the past 2 weeks. Least was 163.9lbs and most was 167.1lbs after my 'cheat' day. No wonder we are totally confused, that's a 3.2 pound fluctuation within 2 weeks! How is that even possible.0 -

LMFAO boo - that's NOTHING - I swing 6-10 pounds from Mon morn-Fri morn every week - salt, hormones, glycogen..they all affect weight and are not "fat loss" related..worry not, it's normal0 -
Here's my graph showing the swings:

I can always swing back and forth like that too from the start of the week to the end of the week. I purposely don't weigh everyday because I would go insane if I did, even though the sensible me knows it fluctuates....the psycho side of me gets anxiety over the higher number....but it is so normal...….
You are doing great! What is your goal weight?

Crazy. 6-10 pounds a week? Whaaaat? Whoa!
My goal weight is staged. First 150, then 140 and maybe 130. Im 5 8 and a half. I will have to see it to decide. I was thinking maybe to go for a short maybe 3 month gym session as its too cold here to even walk outside.. Waiting for spring.0 -
Same for me...I have decided to have mini goal weights as its easier for me to achieve ( hopefully ) Can't wait for Autumn as it would be cooler then
Have a wonderful weekend0 -
Yes the mini goals are awesome. they really motivate me!0

The last 2 weeks were quite busy for me as I am going through a busy period in my life. I started to restrict my calories more so I believe that is the reason behind the result here. I also notice more peace of mind and generally more energy levels. Was thinking of writing an Omad update of the changes I noticed.1 -
Nice loss this week - You'll be in the 150's before you know it1

WOW how cool!!! Great results you totally are rockin it!0
