I'm starting to realise I only eat because I'm bored I'm not actually hungry I need to get out of this habit

I've been doing OMAD for 4 days and down 9 pounds! Keep pushing y'all!

Sidenote: You have really nice skin

OMAD since January 1, 2020 Starting weight 262 Currently 3/20/2020 225 Goal weight is 195

I think the main thing I realized while doing the Omar diet is that you appreciate food so much more! Even the smell of food is so much stronger and enjoyable

I did OMAD and counting calories. I went from 198 to 165.8 thought id put it here as a way to show myself how far I've gotten

I did this back in the day, I lost soooo much weight! I went from a size 14 to a size 4 at my lowest! It definitely works!👍

Day 5 on OMAD along with running a few miles a day and I’m feeling so damn good! My daily work uniform especially my pants are feeling much more loose 😎. The hardest part is taking your mind away from food when your stomach is growling. Push for that late afternoon or evening meal, but don’t overdue it. Get a nice sized portion and eat it slowly to appreciate that meal. Also drink water throughout the day which helps a lot of taking your mind off of food. It’s all about dedication and discipline and you will have more energy 💪🏽.

“If you have a very active social life, you may have a hard time” Me being a hermit during COVID days: “Looks like I’ll be ok”

This is crazy because doing OMAD for a week, I lost 7 pounds.

I‘m 5 days in and already lost 8 pounds😧 I was 162lbs and now I am 154lbs❤️

I started OMAD today, plus I'm going to buy a skipping rope and gonna jump for 10minutes everyday. Please please give me some motivation 💟💟💟💟

I've been eating one meal a day for 3 months , have lost 24 pounds and honestly don't feel hungry like I used to . I was constantly needing to eat something

im doing low carb and omad at the same time... and i lost 14kg in 3 weeks

The tongue turns white when you’re body is detoxing. You’re ok 👍🏾

I’ve tried so many diets in the past two years and can’t get passed 4 days. So I’m trying the omad diet and it’s been a week already. I was 166.5 now I’m down to 157.0 which I do believe is water weight right now but I do feel less bloated which I like. My goal is 135.0 so hopefully I get there 🤗🤗

"You're gonna reach your goal when you reach your goal" really resonated with me! Thank you!

Your 4th con, dry mouth is due to Autophagy from fasting. The body doing maintenance, cellular recycling process. Basically, your body is getting rid of toxins because of fasting. It is a absolutely wonderful thing for one's health even if it's annoying. Congrats!

I do omad like 2-3 days a week and the other days I’ll do extreme intermittent fasting like 21 hour fast while walking/jogging 3-4 miles a day and went from 305 at my heaviest to 289 in a little over 2 weeks. My eating period is around 4pm and I won’t go past 7 pm . And I won’t eat till 4 or even 5 the next day. Also do cardio first thing in the morning on a empty stomach , fat will just melt off your body literally. Just cut out soda sweets and junk food and alcohol . It’s so easy when you really put your mind and effort into it . As long as you stay consistent with changing bad habits it goes a long way with weight loss .

Different people, different bodies, different response ❤ I did OMAD for 30 days, no exercise. Lost 10lbs. Now on my 2nd month, doing low carb, still no exercise. I’ve decided to follow Dr. Mindy Pelz re following my hormones. Now I do OMAD and 2 MAD. The thing is, I’m really loving this low carb-IF lifestyle❤

OMAD works wonders and better when you cut all forms of carbs from your diet, as they trigger insulin so hunger, I am on a Keto OMD since September 26th I lost 40 pounds.

Hi, I'm a dentist. This happened to your tongue because chewing stimulates salivation and, if you don't eat anything, you do not chew and your mouth becomes dehydrated. So the tip is to always chew something between meals to keep your mouth healthy, like sugar free chewing gum.

Omg girl you’re so pretty!! And your energy is contagious. Thanks for sharing. I’m starting IF and this was really motivating and super helpful.

I’m on day 3 on omad and I lost 15 lbs !!!! It might be water weight but it’s still 15 lbs 😌😌 I went from 240 to 225 in 3 days that’s insane

Fasting puts your body into ketosis. Dry mouth is a side effect of ketosis. Can be greatly helped by upping mineral intake. Salt, magnesium, etc.

Thank you so much for sharing ! I love how honest you are and how reassured us that everyone is different ..so don’t get discouraged if your weight loss is slower !

It’s crazy how different everyone’s bodies react to this. I lost 30 lbs in 1 and a half months doing this diet when I was 18

I almost quit but I found it easier to stay away from pasta, bread and sugar .. once I stayed away from those foods my body wouldn't feel hungry afterwards and I had the energy to go on with my day till the next day... I also stuck to coffee and tea... I hope this helps anyone out there that's wondering why you still get hungry afterwards! Shout out to the person that gave me that tip it worked wonders!!! ♡♡♡ I have 4 children under 8 years of age believe me I know the struggle.

I've been having 1 meal a day for 3 days and lost 4 lbs...I know it's mainly water weight but I eat whatever I have a taste for and drink about a gallon of water a day

This woman is not only clearly smart but wise. Thanks for the vid. Most of these seem totally self serving but this one is totally helpful and generous. What a nice person. I wish I had her for a friend.

Learning that I’m an endomorph has helped me with not being discouraged when others lose more .

Soooooo glad you mentioned that you "lost 8 pounds in 28 days and that's okay!" Most of what we see on KZfaq is people loosing 10 lbs per week and 30 pounds a month!!!! Thanks for the assurance that some of us have bodies that drop weight much slower.

Thanks.... you just motivated me when you said “your gonna reach your goal”

Sweetie, it’s just your body responding to your change of diet. It’s natural. And if Omad was to become a long commitment, your body would find a new normal ( balance). I’m proud of you!! You inspire me

I'm starting today and I'll keep up updating every week!! Goal weight:120 Weight rn: 193 Day 1: 191 Day 2: 189 Day 3: 188 Day 4: 187 Day 5: 185 Day 6 & day 7: 184 Day 8: i am going to have one little snack today because I'm kinda feeling sick but it's only going to be 120 calories Okay I believe it's day 12 but I stopped doing it for a couple days because I got really sick and the couple days I haven't done it i started treating my body bad by not eating good and not going to sleep early enough and I'm back at 187😢 but I'm going to start again and keep doing it so today I started working out and going on a walk and doing omad again so I'll fill you in at the end of today! Okay hey guys I wanted to update you I've been doing workouts on a app called female fitness and it's been helping I am going to start this again starting with today Monday and show you what I lost!this whole week I was losing weight... Day 1: 184 yay! I'm so proud of myself the workouts really work I recommend that app!

This really encouraged me because my metabolism is extremely slow, so seeing someone not losing a crazy amount of weight actually inspires me because there's actually someone like me :)

Your skin is everything! You have the BEST skin I have ever seen! Give me your skin!!!!! Ok that sounded creepy but lady, how is it that awesome???!!!

I started omad Nov 4th @317 lbs today Nov 15th @ 302 lbs. I have my one meal at 4 Its extremely difficult but it works along with cucumber,ginger,lemon water. I'll update in 2 weeks

Absolutely, well said!!!! I lose weight really slowly too and it can be so frustrating. We all love dramatic stories and the idea of a magic bullet but when it doesn’t happen to you it can be soul destroying and make you give up. When I did intermittent fasting and tested my ketones it showed I didn’t go into ketosis doing OMAD at first at all. A total bummer when everyone else around you is dropping kilos just by cutting our breakfast!! It prompted me to do an extended fast to see how long it took my body...! According to the IF and keto gurus it’s because I’m insulin resistant and it takes more IF and keto to reverse things. However, like you, I STILL get faster (no pun intended!) results than traditional methods of weight loss (it would take me 2 solid weeks of caloric restriction and exercise before my body would even think about giving up that first 2 pounds) AND fasting gets progressively easier and easier. You could try alternate day fasting and the occasional extended day fast to mix things up and keep your body guessing. Think that helps. Also lowering carbs before a fast helps with cravings and hunger generally.

I started OMAD on November 28th, and it’s December 5th today. I lost 15.8lbs. SW: 245, CW:229.8

I love your pros and cons! It is true everyone lose weight differently. I must say your meal looked really good to eat. Being active also helped keep you preoccupied so you won’t break your fast.

First off you meal looks bomb! I have been doing this without even realizing and it's just become habit. It has helped me to cut down on binge eating sweets all day. I tend to eat very late right before bed and am not hungry until the next evening.

I love Omad and intermittent fasting. I’m down about 15 since starting.

I weight 173lbs and my goal is 145lbs I got this I’ll keep y’all updated!

I didn't understand why people only do it for 4 weeks. It works better as a permanent way of life. I eat so much more at one sitting and I'm never hungry. All the good and healthy effects are lost when you go back to old habits

I’ve never heard of this diet. Wow - great job! Congrats on the 8 lbs - hope you keep going! ❤️

Fasting causes gut bacteria to coat the tongue-it's a part of the detoxing process. It may have also been worse because of what you were eating at your meals (especially if you were eating grain carbs)

Omad Starting Date: 07/04/21 Current weight: 134 Kg Will try to update every month ^^

Your skin looks INCREDIBLE! I could tell the weight loss from day 21 to 28. Thank you for sharing your journey, it’s very motivating💚.

With OMAD I focus on making what I eat count, paying close attention to my nutrient intake. So the calories I get are healthy. I also find when I eat clean, I get fuller faster vs. when I eat junk.

Hi. I'm so glad I found your vid, because you helped me to understand a few things about my journey. Now I started this in 2019, because I was just so sick and tired about the amount of time in any given day, that was spent dedicated to food: planning, shopping, preping, cooking, eating, storing etc. So much time, so just like that, I went to one meal a day. Hunger bothered me probably the first 2 days - I felt hungry during the day. After that it was fine. I really enjoyed the extra time, but I do sometimes anticipate the approaching meal time, and I know it's because of training. During the day I would drink water, or 1 hot beverage. What struck me the most, is that tongue coating issue. I thought something was wrong. I would get that white coating. I brushed more, scraped more. I couldn't say what was wrong with my oral health. I changed to an antibacterial mouth wash, and also visited emergency dental. I was going crazy. I got a clean bill, but since my change, my mouth never felt the same. There was also an immediate change in my bowel movements. I went from regular like clock work to irregular. That scared me. How could a better regime make me irregular? I was cofused and tried to force my body. I always knew that it was not good if you did not go every day. So, I started taking laxatives and drinking rich dairy and this caused problems. What I eventually decided to do was to just monitor the way my body started behaving, and going with it. In my mind, scientifically, my body just could not be worse off for cleaner eating. So I went with it. I still do not go everyday, probably every 2 days. I still drink 1 lt of water when I awake on mornings and then throughout the day, with a meal around 6 pm. I have shed pounds, but that was not my goal. I benefited from that. The process has proved to me, that the training of 3 square meals a day, is not necessarily applicable, and the body gets more down time. I however, have no desire to return to 3 meals a day, and I'm glad for a meal free lunch break during the workday. My current regime may change in the future. Good job to you, and all the best in whatever journey you take.

When intermittent fasting, you can become deficient in certain minerals that help your body hold onto water. In short, you need to add a pinch of salt once a day when you are drinking water. Otherwise water will just go through your body and you will become dehydrated, regardless of how much water you drink. In fact drinking a lot will make you even more sodium deficient because it washes out that small amount you take in with your daily meal.

I’ve never heard of this diet, I’d like to try it, also you have beautiful glowy skin!🌸🌺💕

Your skin completely cleared up. It smoothed out and your tone is so even. Great job cutie pie!

I am sooo excited to start tomorrow 😍 ! I am ready and happy to start this journey. Start weight : 195lbs Goal weight : 140 lbs ( I know it will take some time but if I can lose at least 10-15 pounds a month that would be great ! )

I started intermittent fasting 4 weeks ago and I dropped 15 down and 2 inches off my waistline. I'm going to start OMAD only because I'm already doing 20:4 and its almost like I can't finish my second meal.

Congratulations...8 pounds in 28 days💃💃💃We are proud of you!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who looses weight slowly it’s hard to not make progress as fast you want but I’m glad I’m not the only one it’s motivating me to keep going

Thank you for sharing. I also lose weight really slowly and it is nice to see somebody doing intermittent fasting and not immediately dropping a bunch of weight.

7:42 regarding following keto with OMAD for sure would make it easier and you wouldn’t be as hungry, I think you can take bile salts for your gallbladder I know people who have had their gallbladders removed and that’s how they got around that :) you did great! Amazing job!

I can give you some tips from my experience, cuz i use OMAD for years now and i can say that is really powerful tool. When you do omad try yo be keto, cuz it's much easier and you feel less hunger or you do not feel it at all. Food choices is very very important, specially like Lisa said you gotta hit your macros and that's why she had low energy levels on some days and the other reason for low energy levels are the carbs that's why you gotta go full keto. And my last and the most important tip is use OMAD every other day or once or twice a week and is more sustainable long run and is great tools to have less calories for the week and you still get most of the positives. P.S. Sorry for any grammars it is not my main language. And for white tongue I personally use more electrolytes as suppliments, more salt, also lemon water.

You can also add a smoothie with your meals to fill you up and to get more greens in.

I love eating one meal a day. I feel great when I eat one meal a day!!! Stomach is flatter. It's a part of my life now...❤️💗🤗👍😁😃🤣🍑💪🦋🍓🌞🍈🍏🥝🍇🍒👁️

I’ve just started this on January 1st 2020 and I’m just about to complete my first day I’ll keep u updated

Very encouraging journey❤️😌! I tried OMAD for two days this week, as part of my weight loss journey and it wasn’t too bad actually. I’m debating if I should do it again so this video really helped😀! I’m documenting my weight loss journey on my channel also. 10lbs. lost, many more to go! 🙏🏿

Here’s some interesting info in the event you’d like to try keto. I had my gallbladder removed. Flash forward a couple years and I started keto without thinking about my gallbladder. Conventional thinking would have me feeling sick, being in pain, and not tolerating the fat content I was eating. However, I have never felt better. After some research that didn’t just rely on afore mentioned conventional thinking, it’s actually foods fried with a breading or foods fried in rancid oils such as corn oil, canola oil, and vegetable oil that’s hurts me, not healthy natural fats. Also, regarding your tongue and slow weight loss: the boxed foods like rice-a-roni types of things could be causing those things. I enjoyed this video and really appreciate that you completed your challenge! Good job!

I very much enjoyed your viewpoint, so refreshing to not be the ONLY one on the internet who can’t drop 30 pounds in a month. Lol I think you would be very successful with regular Intermittent fasting after this, like just the 16/8 or 18/6 version. Keeps up the self control & brain clarity, without the constant deprivation! Props! 👊🏻😍

Thank you for sharing your experience. I do OMAD...but not on purpose per say. I do Keto and it just works out that I am not hungry. And contrary to many people’s misunderstanding about Keto, you do not load up on fats/calories. It is a higher fat intake way of eating, but calories does matter. Depending on the day, I am between 1000-1300 calories. The rest of my calories comes from the many years of stored fats lol. I do OMAD and eat at the same time everyday. Which in turn, happens to be intermittent fasting. You do not reach full benefits of fasting/OMAD until about 16 hours of no calories. You would be amazed the difference of your results if just changing do OMAD at the same time for your meals. Balancing Keto/OMAD/ IF goes hand in hand and has not be a struggle at all. It’s pretty easy because my body does all the work and my brain loves me for it. It’s been life changing. Good luck on your journey and keep kicking a$$! You rock! ~Bigs

When your body starts detoxing the tongue gets white. The food looked good.

That’s so strange I just started intermittent fasting as well and usually have one big meal a day and the same thing has started to happen to me where my mouth gets EXTREMELY dry

I absolutely love your videos!!! The food you made looks soooo good and the diet actually helped me keep healthy

I’m starting today and I will be updating!! started on October 18th GW: 143 lbs Day 1: 180 lbs Day 3: 176 lbs Day 5: 173.5 lbs

OMAD is actually good for an eating disorder I’ve read, because it promotes self-government.

Well done for being so consistent!!!!

When I did OMAD. I had the same issue. You are not really hungry but your mind is telling you to eat. It's so mental man, it's crazy! The struggle is real. It's an internal battle.

your skin is literally glowing! you are so beautiful!!

Your skin was absolutely glowing on OMAD.

A Healthy Alternative talks about having white tongue during fasting. I think it's just a symptom of detox.

*14:44* I really needed to hear this! I am trying so hard and I was starting to loose hope! Thanks for reminding me that everyone looses weight at their own pace! Much love ❤️

I'm doing OMAD too. I started out with 1.5day fast than was doing 2 meals a day, and sometimes I would eat lunch and not be hungry for dinner so I would skip dinner, so it just developed naturally. Now, I only eat dinner. Sometimes I would have sth little after dinner like a fruit/fruit salad or home-made chocolate dessert ( only because I was making it for my kids). After a while, it gets easier and my energy levels are so so much better now than when I was eating and snacking all day. I used to be exhausted all day. Now I do more housework and even started working out and I used to be a couch potato as I just didn't have the energy even for a walk. I hear that it may take 6 weeks for a body to adjust to a new regimen. For me, it is less than a month and I'm loving it. I lost about 6 kg in 3 weeks. I could have lost more if I restricted myself more with carbs, but heck, if there was an occasion to celebrate sth with my husband I would even have a glass of wine and apple pie for my sister's birthday. Omad is great.

you’re so very pretty & good job!

I've been doing OMAD for a entire year,, I started January 1st 2019..i had 4 stone to lose (56lbs) and I lost all the Weight by the summer of 2019..ive stuck with it as it works. Yes I've fallen off the wagon a few times but this works and you will absolutely lose the weight and if you are careful you will keep it off and maintain.. ♥️

Good video and good points and information! You are easy to listen to on video! Some are not. You get to the points with minimal filler words! Nice job! And congrats on the 8 lb weight loss and accomplishment of will power!

congratulations on the results! Am doing this myself and am super happy with the way I am feeling right now. Also your dog is adorable!

You can get same results doin 4 hour eating window.

Man that salmon bowl looked so good!! Im currently fasting and that was tempting.

I'm on day 5 and had not looked at my tongue. Just did: it's so white! I'm not worried about it. I'm going to hang in there and wait it out longer and see how that changes over the next month or so. Really appreciated your video and the encouragement and your honesty. Thank you for the wonderful information about your experience.

I'm also losing weight, doing intermittent fasting, I've burnt about 15 kilos so far. 13 more to go.

I'm on day 2, pray for me 😂

Your skin is freaking AMAZEBALLZ.

3rd day on IF and already 9lbs down. I was on IF 2yrs ago and lost 60lbs in a few months. So gutted I stopped but I’m back on the bandwagon. So good to see that scale go down everyday.

Your skin is glowing girl ✨👏🏼

Those meals looked amazing!!!!🤩🤩 I just started intermittently fasting and I’m doing ok,

Congratulations on your journey! The white dry tongue was the die off of candida albicans. It is a fungus that lives in our body and sometimes we get overgrowth due to our overeating of refined carbs. It is a normal part of the process.

Im on my day 12.In the first 3days it was really hard,felt dizzy and felt like quitting .but now i feel awesome.i m getting used to it. The best thing is that you witness the results every single day. Started at 77.9kg and now its 73.1... tryong to do for 1month and definitely it would work... for those who wanna try, dont giveup when u feel uncomfortable for the first few days, u l see it urself...good luck to me and all who want to follow OMAD!

Thank you for your honesty and keeping it real!

Right now I am on my first day of intermittent fasting. I had the idea to 'fast' a day (only eat diner) and eat normally in a time period the next day. But I decided to change that and just eat in a time period. I'm fasting for 15h and eating for 9h (from 10am to 7pm)~

many advantages from omad, one of them, you can eat ANYTHING... 🤤🤤🤤

I'm gonna start on the 17th of January and I'll update every Friday! Edit: I'm also going to be following Chloe Tings workout vids!

One thing I'm sure that would help with energy levels is taking multi-vitamins when you wake up. There's times when I forget to take them and I just feel tired and unmotivated the entire day, but when I do take them it feels like I'm ready to go take a walk or exercise for a bit. Just having one meal won't give you all the required vitamins, so taking multi-vitamins will do the trick.
