Carbohydrates (and sugars in particular) are converted into blood glucose almost immediately (as opposed to fats). That gives an instant gratification, which is the common pattern of all addictions. That is not to say that only carbs can cause addiction. There are many other factors involved. I am addicted to coffee (even…

For the purpose of avoiding an insulin spike, it is largely irrelevant whether some foods contain only carbs or both carbs and fat. Dietary carbohydrates will convert immediately into glucose and that will trigger an insulin response, which will eventually trigger fat storage, whether taken with dietary fat or not.

Let me start by saying that a ketogenic diet is a choice. One has to do a bit of homework first, and then decide if that is the best for them.

Good point. I usually measure my waist at the largest part, and it has been stuck to 87 cm for a few months, despite my weight going still steadily down. I wonder if I have just reached a plateau and I should stop going on with a calorie deficit.

I started OMAD 3 years ago. It took me a few months to get it right. OMAD works better if you do a ketogenic diet, otherwise you'll be constantly hungry. You cannot live on such an extreme calorie deficit. You're going to be wasting muscle, regardless of your weight loss. If you need to lose weight or fat, keep your…
