One thing I've been consistent on is upping my water intake. I have a slight addiction to Coke unfortunately. Lemme tell ya...flavored carbonated water is a life saver! Anyone else use this when fasting or OMADing?

Gonna try and commit! I weighed about 180 with clothes and shoes on. I'm a 31 male, so I think it's possible for me to get into a comfortable weight before Summer. I just need to commit. All I had yesterday was a burger from takeout because I was willing for it to be my one meal, so I'm going to focus on getting what I need today that'll satisfy my nutrition needs to compensate for that.

Do people have snacks on OMAD? I know it's one meal a day, but I would like to know about any safe snacks to have.
Oh, and I almost forgot to add, I hear this isn't healthy, but I see results and people seem fine. So, I think as long as you're eating and getting the desired nutrients a person needs to survive with your one meal a day, you'd be fine, right?

So this weekend i definitely went a bit overboard. Ate more food than any man should at the Korean BBQ and i don't want to derail good progress. So following some others i saw in suggestions, i thought a great way to reset the scale would be to skip tomorrows food altogether going on a 40 hour fast and recovery the calorie balance.

For this type of short fast? Should i be considering any supplements? Any tips? Feedbacks? I don't indulge in any tea, coffee, sodas or whatnot... H20 and grumbling complaints all the way.

Im guessing i should atleast skip my planned leg day!

I am having trouble with a lot of meats over the past few years, namely beef and pork, sometimes I can do small amounts of chicken, most fish seems fine but I normally do not eat a ton of fish, but am open to trying more. I'm trying to change my diet by replacing meats with fish or veggie options, but the problem is, I generally only eat once a day, and I want to make sure I am getting what I need.

I've tried researching some but I'm mostly getting dinner ideas (not as a single meal for the day but just regular week night meals), kits to be sent, or athlete specific things (high protein). I'm no athlete, bordering on sedentary (I stand anywhere from 9-12 hours a day at work with some moving around but am mostly in one spot, but try to go for walks on my day off), and while weight loss would be a great addition, I'm mostly interested in just changing my food choices to make me feel better and not nauseous after eating.

I would love if people could share recipes, resources, or sites where they get ideas for a single meal a day and weekly meal planning based around that. Thank you in advance!

Hi! Ive been starting omad for 5 days now but I'm wondering what to avoid. I'm not eating any processed sugar, no fast food, and no chips. however I'm curious Is zero sugar soda okay? I have a Dr Pepper that's 0 calories and no sugar. Am I able to still drink it? Also is there any other foods I should avoid? I have seen as long as you don't go over ur calorie deficit is okay, but I wish to get opinions from anyone who experienced. Any response is appreciated!

Note: this is a huge plate A chicken breast cooked in OIL, sweet potato topped with BUTTER, eggs with added CREAM yay. There's also a whole pint of blueberries for fiber not pictured.

Hello everyone been in this subreddit for a bit. But I have never started omad so just making this post to officially start my omad and see how much weight I lose. I have been slowly losing weight but I get into a cycle where I have some good days then I binge and repeat. I really want to and need to control myself. I hope omad gives me the discipline to not binge and eat how humans were ment to eat. I am starting my journey Sunday 2nd feb wish me luck!

I will try post every week/regularly recording my weight and keeping myself accountable.

I've OMAD'd, with success, in the past. Also extended fasting. I have found OMAD being the easiest for me personally to sick to.

I'll be 40 in a couple of weeks and I really want to get some weight off my bones and just ready to go all-in. Combined with getting back to weight training.

I would really appreciate some encouragement, personal experience, tips. Etc. Thanks so much!!

How to help dizziness and headaches while waiting for OMAD time? What can I incorporate nutrients and vitamins wise to help?

I do 10k-13k steps at work and sometimes heavy lifting and feel so faint if I don’t eat until later

I have Lyme disease and even 12 hours can sometimes make me feel weak so lmk what helps yall please! It’s the only way I lose weight

Got through my first week. Woof. Is it normal to be very thirsty and also be sort of turned off by food when it’s mealtime?

So a little about me I am 36year old female Heaviest I weighed was 94kg...lost 10kg with a dietitian and about 5kg through loose intermittent fasting so I am now at 79kg this all over a period of three years. I have tried for a year to complete a clean (no coffee no tea no liquids except water) OMAD and today it happened! I dry fasted for 14 hours and then had water till 9pm breaking my fast with a zero sugar energy drink,chicken and coleslaw. I made it! The difference - DRY FASTING....kept my hunger at bay till 4pm had a hunger pang and pushed through! I am so proud....I have 30-35 kg to lose....as for now I am finishing my zero sugar drink and then it's back to dry fasting and omad day two...be blessed friends

Hello everyone!

I have been doing a sort-of 2MAD for the last week-and-a-half, and have already lost 8 pounds. I understand most of this is water weight, but I’m thrilled regardless and am looking forward to seeing any and all decrease!

I suffer from migraines so I have been eating an orange or a banana in the mornings before work to stave off the hunger headaches. In the evenings, between 5-7, I find a window of time to eat my actual (and last) meal.

I’m going to start moving towards taking out those fruits in the morning and enjoying them with my meal during the window instead.

I’m very happy so far with how everything is going, and I am very glad to have found this community :)

Please share with me your success stories and ways you "bounced back". I'm feeling bummed because my OMAD isn't working as well as I'd like it too. I lost 6 lbs in the first week, now a month later I'm up 3lbs. On weekends I do 2MAD, but overall I am eating substantially less, and feel betrayed.

I know the beginning can be rough so I'd love some stories that will convince me to keep going.

Did 1 48 hour fast this week instead of my usual 2. Didn’t get to do much cardio (Tuesday and Thursday). But man I’m happy. When I walk, I feel so confident. I like what I see in the mirror. I don’t look wide in photos. It’s crazy how ur head shape changes when u lose weight. Clothes just look better on me. My abs are visible.

Omad works for me, but i’m always so tired. I drink coke zero during the day cause it sparks a little joy in me, but i’m starting to feel like I need some energy drinks or something to keep going on some days (coffee and tea upset my stomach). does coke zero or 0 cal energy drinks break a fast?

Hello,

I'd like to try omad for weight loss. Recently I have been VERY VERY active. I run 3 to 5k early morning before work 5 to 6 days a week and then would walk commute to and from work AND I lift weight 5 days a week. By the end of the day I average 20 to 25k steps + the runs A. I try restrict by having small meals Throught the day but it just makes me feel so restricted and I binge eat and am hungry foggy and annoyed by every little inconvenience. I heard that omad could fix that but I have no idea how to do this with my level of activity. Was hoping to get some help, thanks y'all.

I sorta fell into OMAD naturally, as my ADHD meds kill my appetite, so I really can't stomach food until dinner. However, I'm struggling to eat enough calories and, besides that being unhealthy, I think it may be lowering my metabolism and making it harder to lose weight.

I can usually eat about 800 calories, before I feel like I'm struggling to myself eat more. I'm shooting for 1200 - 1400 calories per day. Besides Ensure or similar products, does anyone have any suggestions of a food that is calorie dense but not too unhealthy I can supplement with? Thanks!

Anyone experiencing low mood during omad? Not all the time. But today I couldn't get out of bed, just because. I do have some pyschological medication that I take. And I'm usually fine. But today was a low day. I wasn't even in the mood during my eating window. FYI: Almost a month of OMAD and I've seen very slight progress. I think I have only lost a kilo. Plus I am not an active human. I'd like to start light exercises in the new months (every other day).

Hello. I've been doing OMAD for about 5 days now. I tend to eat whatever my family is eating. But with this being said, I doubt I'm getting all the right nutrients. For example tonight I'm gonna eat pizza haha.

Is there vitamins or a drink you recommend to make sure I'm getting the nutrients my body needs before I hit a deficiency?

This would make life easier. As we are trying to go more whole foods and such, it's very hard in a family of 7 to always do so. So I was thinking a pill or drink may remove my worries of nutrient deficiency

Thanks in advance!!

I have been practicing OMAD for a couple of weeks now. My routine is to eat two meals (Breakfast and Lunch combined) + protein shake from 9 - 10 AM. After that, I just drink water.

Recently, I've been thinking more about the timing of my OMAD. Doing it in the morning takes a lot of time out of my day, and I have this... feeling that I am less focused 1-2 hours after I eat the large portion. This unverified feeling interferes with my noon and afternoon activities.

Because of this, I inquired a bit more into fasting. Allegedly, your mental performance is better when you have not eaten, because of hormones as well as your body not focusing its energy on the digestion process. So, I have been thinking if it would be better to eat at ~6 PM. At the same time, I wonder if my energy in the morning would be less if I went the morning without eating, but logically it shouldn't matter because I would still have the same amount of nutrients and calories, right?

So, do any of you have any anecdotes or scientific information on the difference in eating in the morning or at night. Do you feel more concentrated? Do you have a better mood? Does eating make you feel tired and less energetic?

I am not concerned with feeling hungry throughout the day, so that doesn't need to be a factor. I just want to know the mental effects.

Thank you in advance for responding.

So, I'm planning on finally starting OMAD this year, but I've been wondering; the TDEE Calculator, it gives us the calories we should eat to keep maintenance, to bulk, or to cut. Now i'm unsure how accurate it really is, but when you guys eat, and let's say you're cutting calories are 2100, does your one meal have to hit that exact goal, or is it okay to be under as long as it's a significant amount of protein and other macros?

Hey guys.. I'm 20 and i weigh 69.4kg and I'm 5'3. I have been following omad for the past one month and i have already lost 3kg with some exercises too. So i have a very round fat face and with very soft features. Does loosing weight help to get rid of it?? I haven't seen much of a difference till now but i really wanna lose my face fat. Can anyone suggest some exercises or should I just follow diet only. Please reply I'm desperate!!!!

5months omad, now changing to 16:8 and starting heavy lifting. This was good boost to burn fat. I lost lot of muscle and strength too, but now i have to get my strength back with clean eating and lifting. My wife says im too tiny :D so is time to grow but with muscle this time :D
