    The thing about hunger is that it increases the more regularly you eat. When you're fasting you get into a flow after some hours and the feeling of hunger is mild or goes away completely.

    I've been doing OMAD for over two and a half months. I don't weigh myself because it triggers me to binge, but I know I've lost a lot of weight. During that time I did two two-day fasts and one three-day fast. I'm so used to it now that it is normal for me. Just now, at over two and a half months I am beginning to feel the hightened clarity and re-connection to my body. I am also doing a lot of stretching and walking since I'm still too big to do much else. I love OMAD; it's really changed my life. It's safe to do long term. I admire how you experiment with your body and go full bore into whatever you do. Peace to you and yours. Thank you.

    @@user-360johnn when I started fasting I also started to transition to a low carb/high (good) fat diet - not 100% keto but following the principles and make my body gain some metabolic flexibility so I would not be dependent on blood sugar for energy. I also did not start hard on 2 meals. Started with 3 over a 6 hour window but at some point with the right food choices I did not feel the need to do 3. But was also a gradual process - I think this is important. The majority of my training is HIIT or weighted workouts. In the first 2 to 3 weeks the pure cardio HIIT workouts were not easy as the body was learning were to get the energy from, however the strength workouts were ok. After a good 2 to 3 months I can actually sustain a higher peak of intensity for longer on the cardio workouts on empty stomach than I could before, and my strength also gone up ! I usually workout after fasting for 16 to 20 hours and I feel good. Personally I’m not very strict on timing, my only rule is to have the first meal after working out, and sometimes it happens in the morning, sometimes it happens late afternoon.

    When I was still in a calorie deficit I LOVED watching food videos😂 it actually helped me get my "fix" of food by just staring at it, imagining eating it, and especially hearing people describe it's taste & texture. I also really recommend those of you that are trying to lose weight, to watch 10,000+ calorie challenge videos! seeing how disgusting people felt from eating my favorite foods made me WANT my healthy, low calorie foods & I felt better about myself. Now that I'm eating at maintenance, food videos aren't as attractive to me. I'm moreso watching this video for the education of it.

Got to eating once, towards the end of the day, and ultimately dropped from 270 to 190 in a 3 month period. Went to see the Dr to make sure I was healthy, I was worried I was messing myself up, but got a full bill of health from him and told I was now an example for keto and intermittent fasting success.

    I like doing one or two meals a day, but either way, staying in a state of ketosis has been by FAR the best thing I've found for my health; I've lost 80 pounds literally without even trying. I just wanted to feel better and be healthier, i wasn't trying to lose weight, no counting calories or anything, no exercise routine, none of that. I still don't get nearly enough exercise, but this is the best shape I've been in since well over a decade ago. I actually have more abs NOW than i did when i was younger and could do 1000 sit-ups 🤣 Thank God for keto 🙏😇🙏

    Not that this will necessarily work for anyone else, but I found the greatest benefit from doing a slightly modified version of omad . I would still have the one big meal but then I would have a protein shake or something about an hour to 2 hours later. So more like one and a half meals a day? But that prevented me from being extremely over full and also made sure I could hit all of the macros that I needed to. I lost like 25 lb in 5 months doing this and you're still doing intermittent fasting for essentially 22 or 23 hours a day. Just made it a bit more bearable in my opinion. Alternately, you could have a really light snack to tide you over for an hour or two and then have the big meal. That helped me push my food later into the day so that I would be full when I went to bed instead of binging on snack foods or junk food.

    Been doing OMAD 22/2 since March of this year, 213 to 155 pounds! You can really do OMAD wrong folks. Break your fast with protein, don't break fast with carbs, go easy. Eat whole foods, get rid of the seed oils canola safflower sunflower soybean oils, sugar and processed foods! I only use grass-fed ghee and avocado oil. If you got cravings you are probably eating junk. Dirty OMAD ain't the way to go, calories matter especially where you getting those calories from. Official calories is at 2200 max. GOD bless.

My gym has this digital weighing machine which I plan to use every 15 days as it actually calculates the body fat percentage. You already have beautiful abs and your OMAD definitely increased the muscle definition. Even your arms & face look so good now! Kudos for that!

    I was doing it like this 20-4 fasting with just two vegan meals a day. Then, it stopped working as well for me. In March -May I did it every day went from 155 lbs down to 147 lbs. But I wanted to burn fat which is not the same as losing weight. Fast forward to now. This past six weeks I did the 20-4 fasting with two meals again and I am always hungry and not as motivated. I weigh at 158 lbs as of last night. Thinking of trying the OMAD diet

    I`ve been intermittent fasting for several years, changing between the different types O.M.A.D.. 20/4 and even 16/8 on holidays because O.M.A.D is very anti-social . I find that soda water and black coffee are the best to kill the pangs but better than both is a short sharp exercise session, even a few push ups, burpees or whatever , things you can do wherever you are. Lately. I started to feel sluggish after a meal so I changed my fasting hours from evening to early in the day. Now I eat a huge breakfast , I`m full all day and everything I do kind of feels like a type of exercise and the bloat ends early in the day so I`m also sleeping better. I`m no where near as hungry as I used to be and I can also be a little hungry and it`s okay: I don`t have to feel full all day, I can live with a little hunger. Meal prep is important if you`re working outside of the house and upping the protein and laying off refined sugars is still important even if you`re only eating once a day. Most important of all is that it makes you feel great.

    I've been doing one meal a day routinely for the last 7 or more years (give or take the occasional party and family gathering). Personally works for me. It gives control over what i decide to put into my body given what I've done during the day. I'm not a regular weight lifter..i'm I data scientist by day and someone who enjoys physical activities (yard work, skiing, surfing, hiking, etc.) when i'm not. IMO most important part is that 1 meal covers standard nutrient intakes and you have an app to track that you make sure you're getting what is necessary. IDK how this diet would work if you wanted to gain mass.

Wish I can go back to omad but my only thing missing is gaining that drive to get up & workout. I don't know what happened &...I just don't seem to care as much as I did when I was younger for staying built/jacked.

    I used to do something similar to this, I was always a skinny kid who skipped breakfast, school lunch, and only ate dinner and a ton of snacks at around 7-8. I never really felt hungry so I never really ate, my bodied was adapted to that. Here's what's interesting though, mid 2022-now(2023) comes around and I start to change my diet. At first it was a painful time with eating a healthy breakfast and being full the whole to having to, lets just say, empty the bowels multiple times a day which was icmpltely odd as usually I'd only do my business once a week. Skip to today and my body can't handle not eating in the morning. Interesting stuff right?

    OMAD is the best thing that ever happened to me. My brain is clear my love handles went away as well As any other inflammation in my body and changed my face as well. Calmer too. Stopped taking adderall. My pp works like I’m 17 again. When I go back to eating normal is no bueno. BUT also…. I am a “chi” or energy master. And holy shit. When you don’t have food constantly in your stomach, the body burns fat as well as breathing better from the pelvic floor Much easier and also much much more chi. Intake of chi works exactly like digestion. In fact the place where chi is stored is also in the region of the stomach!!

During the last nine days or so, the hunger during the day has almost completly dissapeared. I sometimes get hungry for half an hour or so, but it really just goes away when disstracted, and doesnt nesseceraly resourface. If anyone has any questions, id love to share my insight.

We eat in thirds. Meaning, one third of your stomach food, one third water and one third empty.

    ​@@Kirkov36 for real do research, I was surprised basic idea is like everything else in the body - use it or lose it if not exercising, body eats itself a lot more and there is significant lost, just like there's significant muscle loss when not exercising whether fasting or not with exercise and fasting, that signals to the body not to eat it's own muscles since it needs to use them, so it'll eat more body fat for energy, and in research I think it was around 85-95% of muscle and strength was usually retained despite fasting and losing crazy amounts of fat during long fasts -Edit: the % retained is about the difference between not fasting being the reference point of 100% muscle retention, and compared to fasting but not exercising being the reference of 0% (0% set by the lowest person in the study, some people retained more naturally so they landed in the 20-35% retention range just because of genetics, but the point is that compared to regular eating the fasting barely had the body consume it's own muscle as long as the person exercised) and same thing for gaining weight after - if not exercising, body will slow metabolism when the stomach is all empty, so then when not fasting the slow metabolism has people convert more food to fat instead of using it up as energy. If exercising while fasting, and when back to eating, the metabolism is forced to stay high the entire time and thus not have that weight gain issue afterward. that's the core summary, the whole topic is really interesting with the details involved, especially with how it's such a big misconception in western countries because of all the advertising and basically lies told because people are getting paid to sell food and constant eating to all the customers - even advertising that sort of stuff to young gullible kids in schools and uneducated parents that don't know any better and don't do any research

    When I want to cut I do two things : 1) Don't eat once per week. It creates a weekly deficit in one shot and allows maintenance/small surplus the other six days. My day of choice is Sunday. 2) Increase step count. I walk every morning just to be active. But a few days per week I'll add on an extra hour in the afternoon. **This process lets me lose 1.5-2lbs per week pretty effortlessly and since I never feel deprived six days per week, my hunger cues are stable. I do regular IF the other six days with 2-3 meals in a 6hr window. 👍

Have getting daily steps be your main focus. 2) Work on keeping it to 2 meals in a 4-6hr eating window and get used to taking in more protein. Once you spend 6 months building those two habits, then I'd slowly start working in 2-3 full body lifting workouts per week. Also if you have no real experience with lifting or calisthenics, I'd get a reputable coach that could help with form. 👍
