100 day limit

Starting tommorow I'm going to lose weight in a more healthier way. In addition, I'm going to see how much weight I can lose in 100 days, or 14 weeks. I want to lose around 20-35lbs, but that may not be realistic for me. During this period, I'll also be doing omad and 1 hour of exercise everyday.

Best of luck.
I admit I am sad to see your goal of 20-30lb/b in 6 months is now 14 weeks (given the feedback that even that was aggressive). 20-30lbs given you have are 5'4 and 150 is not safely doable in 14 weeks so best to start with a safely achievable goal.
but the process is important and hopefully where you concentrate on a safe and healthy process. eat enough to sustain your exercise and your basic body's needs - that is the healthier way. don't think of the number at the end of X days. eat at a reasonably calorie deficit and exercise for health.8 -
Is your goal to be healthier or to lose as much as you can, no matter the cost?7

Then that is incompatible with rapid weight loss. If you really want to be healthy, you should worry less about how much you can get done in a specific period of time but rather focus on going slow and steady and getting to your goal as is appropriate for your body.9 -

Focus on the journey instead of the destination. IMO your plan is too aggressive and potentially unsafe.3

I was going to aim for 6 months, but then I saw a youtube video where a girl weighed the same as me and became 45kg in 14 weeks. All she did was exercise consistently and eat only fruits and vegetables. She also did the 16:8 method of intermittent fasting.
This is a terrible idea. While fruits and vegetables are healthy as part of a complete diet, eating only fruits and vegetables is very unhealthy. Where are going to get your protein from? She likely lost a lot of weight because she was at a very low calorie deficit and burned a ton of muscle in the process of losing fat. She also could have done a lot more to damage her health in the process.
Please do not take diet advice from youtube. There are a lot of people there promoting very unhealthy things.9 -

And if said girl jumped off a bridge?3 -

Ahh YouTube...the place of solid, 100% factual health advice 🤦🏼♀️9 -

so basically you ignored ALL the advice you got on ALL your posts here (from people who've lost weight, are losing weight) to trust some story on youtube that may or may not even be true and may have been very unhealthy.11 -
Sometimes you just have to stop waiting to get the answer you want to hear and absorb the valuable information you've been given.6

Which youtuber is this?1

45kg is underweight for your height.4

Freelee the Banana Lady, perhaps? Although there are lots of whackados on youtube so...
OP, please don't do this to yourself. It's your body and your life, but at least you can't say we didn't try to dissuade you.4 -
I understand the desire to speed up the process. But to me part of the process is learning something sustainable. One meal a day would not be sustainable for most people.
Maybe try to exercise one hour a day and eat balanced macros. After 14 weeks you may have lost 14 pounds which is close to your goal and you felt better along the way.1 -
If my calculations are accurate, to lose 35 pounds in 14 weeks you'd have to have a daily deficit of 1250 from your maintenance calories. That's really extreme.
Have you eaten a mainly plant based diet before? Fruit and veg tend to be very low calorie foods. Trying to eating enough to fuel your body would be very difficult in one meal per day. Not to mention the lack of nutrients without at least eating grains and nuts.
This entire idea is a plan to fail. What's wrong with losing weight at a reasonable rate while eating foods that properly fuel your body?4 -

It sound to me like you are contradicting your above post where you said that your goal is to be healthier rather than lose weight. You might want to take some time to really think about your goals as they relate to health and fitness. This is step one. Then you can work on a plan on how it is you are going to achieve them.1 -

Additional exercise + massive dietary overhaul + unrealistic expectations = recipe for failure
Your "plan" is terrible from a health perspective, and your goals are at odds with each other.
