Ali's OMAD Journal
Hi – my name is Ali from the UK. I could do with losing 50lbs but as I’m getting older (I’m 48) I’m finding just cutting back or doing more exercise doesn’t seem to be so effective plus I seem to be lacking the energy or motivation to exercise as I did even a year or so ago. OMAD makes sense as once a day I can eat a…

Unexpected benefits of fasting
So I was very surprised to notice my hand ( carpal tunnel or arthritis who knows something going on with it) finally had some relief after fasting (less swollen less cracking less pain almost back to normal although still little swollen). This was unexpected, not the reason I started fasting but very pleasantly surprised…

Committing to Omad
I've been stopping and starting omad and other IF diets for around four years, during that time the yo-yo effect has seen me gain around 35kg. I dabbled with omad a fortnight back but caved on the fourth day after I had a beer. Looking to start again and this time stick to it. I do some gentle yoga and tai chi in the…

Jason Fung is a quack
the guy says you can eat 10 000 cals and NOT gain weight, you will just burn it out magically also says if you restrict calories, you eventually will gain weight because your body will restrict calorie expenditure to the point you will gain weight, has he ever heard of something called BMR? these pearls of wisdom start…

OMAD and, um, bowel movements...
Sorry, no other way to put it. OMAD is my way of life, it's changed me for the better in every single way. My overall health has vastly improved and that's even more important than the weight loss. However, I do have one problem area and that's going number two. It's been like this since I've started. I eat fruits and…

What brought you to OMAD?
For me, it was by accident. I was working overnights, going to school full time days and raising 3 kids on my own. I only ever had time for one meal a day. Yet, I found I was energized enough to do what needed doing and I wasn't hungry. Plus the bonus, I lost a lot of weight. I went back to eating 3 meals and watched my…

Me, my weight and ME!
Hi guys, just got started on OMAD a week ago, after working up to it from 16/8 and 20/4. Actually the shift was spontaneous, as my appetite was pretty much non existent^^ I have severe ME/CFS and can't really move much at all as I'm pretty much housebound 95% of the time. However one of the few things I can control is when…

Vegan OMAD
Any other vegans up in here? :smiley: I know I can't be alone! I just started OMAD 2 days ago. I added a couple daily goals to just eating one meal a day.

KaHee's Journey of Self-Love & OMAD
We all can be so hard on ourselves. It is so easy to pinch our fat, look in the mirror and just be discouraged because we haven't hit our goal yet. How many times have we tried a diet or start a workout routine to just feel defeated 2-3 weeks later. Well, unfortunately progress takes time and being patient is hard when you…

Share how you get through days when you pass your OMAD mealtime and find yourself "Hangry"
A quick trip across town with my husband and Aunt turned out to be longer than expected. After we finished piddling here and there, we made a stop at the grocery store and my husband, who just got back from a month offshore, wanted some snack foods. As soon as he grabbed Pringles, I could feel tension rise in me. My…
