New to OMAD!
Hello everyone Just wanted to check in. I began my OMADic odyssey yesterday, having had some experience of Leangains IF. Today has been challenging, but I feel I need this programme as I'm looking for a way of life, not a target-driven goal obsession as propounded by weight loss groups! This seems an approachable forum,…

All About Bears, the OMAD Mascot...
Feel free to add this collection on information. As a researcher of all things bears, the OMAD namesake needs a thread devoted to the study of these remarkable creatures: http://phys.org/news/2012-03-black-wound-capabilities-hibernation.html

Grain Coffee to quench hunger
Is possible to sip thru the day grain coffee (like spelt coffee etc.) to quench hunger or it will not trigger OMAD benefits?

Getting rid of U forever(pls. add something OMAD living has inspired u2 4ever rid yourself of)
I've been spending the last 4 hours or so, going thru my attic, closets, etc. of ALL of my "former" FAT clothes, shoes, all kinds of stuff (the "good" the bad and the ugly). I'm shedding the "weight" of excess "stuff", not only from my mind and body, but now from my home--period. I'm throwing away, giving away and selling…

Why Breakfast really IS the Most Important Meal of the Day..............to skip.
I have been reading about the ancient civilisations who understood the importance of not over-eating, especially at breakfast. "At the period of their greatest power, the Greeks and Romans ate only one meal a day." For example, here are some good quotes from the book entitled “The Hygienic System: Orthotrophy” by Dr…

Never knew it had a name...
I used to do low carb but it got too expensive. Switched to warrior diet for a while but somehow lost the way and gained the kilos instead. Growing a 5kg Fibroid didn't help. But that isn't an excuse anymore. Had it removed 4 years ago and was just lazy. As a child/teenager I never ate breakfast and rarely lunch. Never…

Food / Activity tracker
Is anyone here using one? I usually use FitDay and it is OK, but a but cumbersome at times. I tried using myfitnesspal but it is so inaccurate that I had to give up, the recipe import section is a brilliant function and would work so much better than typing it all into FitDay, but the Calories and Nutrional Value is way…

OMAD: Meal size
If you don't calorie count, how much does everyone eat during their one-hour window for weight-loss? The one average-size portioned meal that's recommended? if not, has it helped you lose weight eating until you're satiated? TIA!

Amanda's Journey from IF to OMAD
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…

OMAD Basics: rule #9. Splurge day--how does this work for you? What are you eating on these days?
Hello Everyone! I was going over Omad Basics thread and today is day 39 for me, tomorrow will make my 40th day! When I started Omad, I started with the intentions of doing this for 40 days--but all that has changed and I'll be Omading (as Bo-Bo says) for the rest of my life. My initial intentions were to eat only one meal…

What time is your meal of the day?
What time does everyone eat?? I fast as long as I can...usually eat by 2pm...it is really hard for me even with coffee and gum. i workout in the mornings which helps with the hunger. I start getting painful hunger pangs around 11:00. I get through them and stay hydrated but i start fading mentally/physically if i wait…

Rainbow OMAD Thread
Good day everyone! I am starting this thread to track my progress with OMAN, continue to stay motivated, and possibly find an OMAD buddy who would like to track with me! I (re)started June 25, 2016. Last year I stumbled on OMAD and whittled myself down 30 lbs (to 184lbs). I was halfway to goal, but a 2 week visit to…

Cara's OMAD journey
Hey ho I see most people are doing their own threads so thought I'd do mine as well. Today marks one week since I started IF and 3 days since I started OMAD. It's also my first splurge day and I've felt gross all day, I don't like the feeling of being full, it's fine post dinner on OMAD days because I just chill out and…

Fumpy diary
Hi guys Decided to give this a go, I used to eat like this when I was much thinner. I've been edging towards this for the last couple of days and managed to get to one meal yesterday so will use yesterday as official start date. I tried to start last year I think but ended up having to do a lot of travelling and I don't…

Sean's OMAD Log
Hello everyone. I'm creating this journal to keep track of my OMAD diet -- I'm hoping that being more public with my diet will help me actually create some long-term consistency with it. Today I've not done any dieting at all -- I've been quite terrible, in fact, having a hamburger and fries from Jack in the Box and later…

Scale going up
Ok I know this is probably being a bit melodramatic but did anyone see their scales nudge up in the first week? I get the whole fluctuations thing but it kinda makes me go arghhh this is not working for me. It's literally only been a few days so I know this is an overreaction. I guess what I'm looking for is a bit of…

Etherial1's OMAD Journey
Hello, I started OMAD this past Monday and I've kept busy by refinishing the woodwork in my home. It's a pretty strenuous job, if doing it by hand like I did the other day, but today, I use the sander. Anyway, I started out on the 16:8 (8-Hour Diet) for about 3 weeks, and found I wasn't hungry after my first meal of the…

I've just started eating the OMAD way on April 26
So i've been a very casual user of MFP since 2013 when my weight was 277. My weight has slowly increased over the years and on April 26 I tipped the scales at 291. I have tried so many different diets and I've never managed to stick to anything for longer than a week. Lately diets don't seem to work at all and by chance I…

ISHA---->OMAD 27-NOV-2015
Hello everyone!! I have just joined mfp and started this way of eating. In just under a week I have lost 5 pounds. It suits me really! I am 178 pounds right now, want to get to 130 as realistic goal but 121 as the ultimate goal. I am short, 5.2", so that would be great. I have about 58 more pounds to lose to be really…

BiloxiNative's OMAD Journey
First off, thank you, Joe, for such a wonderful resource! It's nice to have a place to come where there is support for this WOE. The average "man on the street," or even "person on a weight-loss forum" can't wait to tell you how OMAD is such a bad idea, it won't work, it's dangerous, and so on. As I said in my intro on the…

Hi to all
Just joined this forum and wanted to say hi and use this as a progress thread. I’m Craig, I’m 42yrs old and from Lincolnshire, England. Early last year I managed to lose around 50lbs in 5 months for a family members wedding but doing a version of the 5:2 diet. I was actually doing 4:3 where I’d eat 500cals on Monday,…

My Lunch
Green Tea is the best appetite suppressant, too bad I have to hide in my thermos as fake lunch. I feel like still living in culinary closet.
