Kitty Gonzalez OMAD Becoming a Warrior
I was a little sad I was starting today, I guess it's because I have such an emotional connection to food, for me it's like saying goodbye to an old friend. But as the day wore on, I started to feel more excited about my new way of eating, and well, my first meal is one of my favourites, not only because it tastes insane,…

OMAD = being able to order the BIG burger
Heheh I posted this on the intermittent fasting board this morning, but figured you guys would get a kick out of it too! Skipped lunch yesterday and met friends and family for dinner, so I decided to try the "COLLOSAL" [sic] burger! Mainly for the spectacle of the thing. But, I do the low-carb thing, so no bun for me ... I…

M_Foote 2016
Good morning to all in MFP land. Particularly the OMAD section! 2015 was not so hot, if you were following my progress. Some of you however, absolutely killed it! Great job! I started 2016 at 327.8 lbs. After a strict week of OMAD, I am 321.8 today. So, here we are!

Lisa's OMAD log
I am doing protein powder in the AM and lunch until I my blood sugar stabilizes along with all my zero calorie fluids. I know the shakes will eventually pass as I get used to the new way of eating. I also recently started a new job and I do not think they would appreciate if I passed out on my new patients midmorning;-)…

Rockingthechange's OMAD Journey
I am excited to join this group!!!! I have been flirting with the idea of OMAD not just for weight loss but for eventual weight maintenance as well. I lost 60 pounds by eating within the boundaries of hunger and fullness but when I had to go back on steroids for a flare and started Lyrica and Cymbalta for pain relief, I…

hmvanwink check in
Hi All! I declared that Monday would be my first day of OMAD and I am here to say I have failed! Not completely but I am struggling with only one meal. I have cut calories dramatically and I am losing but I have obstacles to overcome and hunger is not either of them. The first is breaking the routine of eating. I am lucky…

Knee Brace Needed...
So, I'm needing a knee brace if I'm going to stay in the running game and hope to see any sort of reasonable recovery. As much as I haven't wanted to admit it, I do need a good brace.

Vrojapu OMAD Fan
Hi Karla, thanks for the instructions on creating this - I am certain arguablysamson had also posted them but I kept missing the boat. It's now week 3 of semi-OMAD -- I do great for a couple of days every week then backslide, but it's getting easier all the time (to do OMAD, not backslide, I mean)! I would very much like…

Rate Limited Fat Absorbtion with OMAD?
I have a question. Since the body is rate limited in producing enzymes to support fat storage, does eating in a small window (high calorie input rate) result in the body not being able to convert all the temporary excess cals into fat that are above the rate limit level that can be supported? I've asked questions like this…

Power vs Energy
If a person walks a certain distance, the energy expended getting there is the same no matter how fast you go to get there. If you get someplace fast, the power level you operated at to get there was higher than if you went slower but the energy expended (cals) is the same whether you go fast or slow. How does going faster…

Exercise
So, heavy exercise is not a recommended part of OMAD when trying to lose significant amounts of weight; we all know that, right? However, some coming to this board may just want to do OMAD for reasons other than losing weight. Maybe they just like the simplicity, whatever. So, what did you do today that qualified as…

How One-Meal-a-Day Saved Me from Morbid Obesity
On June 1st, 2013, I found myself with the need to make a decision. I was 363.4 pounds at 6'4. My knees hurt, my ankles hurt, my blood pressure was 152/117. I ate, well, fiendishly, like I had for most of my life. For a while, I took the expensive Benicar which cost me $50 a month in an attempt to regulate my…

Leeyuhsee's OMAD thread
so I started trying this out on September 10th. The first day was pretty hard, but not bad. I'm four days in now, and I feel like this has changed how hungry I get. Yesterday was my splurge day, and after a few hours of tennis with my tennis group, I went to a brunch. I ate a little, but got full fast, and remained that…
