*DISCLAIMER**
Please consult with your doctor before attempting fasting, it can be unsafe for people with certain medical conditions. PLEASE do not watch if you have a history of eating disorders. The results in this video are just my personal experience.
Over a year and a half ago (feels like a lifetime ago) I did another OMAD 30 day challenge while counting and restricting calories. On the final day of my challenge I moved apartments and lost the footage . . . until recently. Watching the old footage reminded me of how much I've grown mentally and improved my relationship with food. I've still got a long way to go but I'm proud of myself and I feel more confident and happy in my body and in my mind. I still fast intermittently and I'm learning that in longterm health compassion trumps perfection.

This decision fatigue is so on point to what I am going through right now, the cravings do pass but at the time we are so involved with it. Thanks for your vids, you are normalizing these struggles. Although 1200 calories is not enough for an adult, do not subtract exercise just bump calories up to 1500 for weight loss at least please

I honestly feel like I should thank you. The end of 2019 and begining of 2020 were very stressful to me, and that maade me gain about 20kg/44 lb. I had never been that heavy, I was tired all the time, wasn't eating well and didn't fit on most of my clothes. I was desperate and near a breakdown when I remembered your first 1 meal a day for 30 days video, and that you talked about fasting. I did my reserch and started fasting well. It's been over a year, I've had my ups and downs, but I'm off 14kg/30 lb!!! That's a whole 3 year old baby. I'm so happy I was able to make such progress, which I couldn't have done without that video. I still need to lose more 4kg/9lb to be on the weight I was before all of that (and another 11kg/24lb if I want to get on the 56kg/123.5lb goal). I'm 170cm/5'6, that would be a slim and normal weight for me. Again, thank you so much for helping me, I have no idea what I would have been of me if I hadn't watched that video (diabetes probably).

When you said 1200 calories I was sure you were super short. Im impressed you stuck with it for a while month. You could certainly go up to 1500/1600 calories if you ever consider counting again.

I am so happy that you are starting to get in a healthier state of mind with your eating habits. Sooner or later it just comes down to that you figure out what is best for you. I have gotten better with my eating habits too finally. I eat when I'm hungry, and sometimes I have a treat every once in a while, but every now and then I eat a little more than I should, but I just say to myself that's OK. I also fast until 3 or sometimes 5 p.m. every day. :)Big hugs and I always love your videos. Like I've said before, you are relaxing to watch. I look forward to seeing more of your journey.

I just did omad from the 4th of april. I'm down 2kg, though I think some of that is water weight. In any case, I always break the fast with some soup, then after a while I eat high quality semi-fatty protein and lots of vegetables. I typically eat two portions until I'm full and at the end I will get in a desert, some fruit , maybe a single scoop of ice-cream or something like this. For exercise about every other to every third day I take an hour long walk, or if I'm not in the mood I will go to the sauna. During the day I'll have 2 or 3 cups of coffee, and plenty of tea, usually green. Sometimes I cheat with my morning cup and add maybe a tablespoon of milk (yes, technically that's breaking the fast but whatevers).. If I don't want to eat clean and feel starving for some carbs on some days so, I'll have a carby meal like a pizza or whatever but will still make it my only meal. After like 5-6 days of OMAD I'm never hungry , I only get slightly hungry when I start to eat and when I do I fill up pretty fast. I have no dips in energy levels, no mental fog, and because of the sauna I usually sleep like a horse. On the off-chance I do get a headache or so, I will do potassium/sodium "keto" style electrolyte drink with just water (no sugar). Pretty sure I could go eat even cleaner, exercise more, but this is a very comfortable diet where I still get to indulge and practice my eating habits.

you should watch Rachel Sharp's video "MY EXPERIENCE WITH INTERMITTENT, ALTERNATE DAY FASTING", fasting clearly works. just simply follow and be strict with the fasting, don't call it a "30 day one meal a day challenge" it absolutely ins't that, it isn't a challenge, it's a healthy lifestyle

We're the same height which I guessed from your body and weight, then you said 1200 calories and I thought, oh, she must be short. Why would MFP tell you to eat so little? I use MFP and I'm on 1500.

It's almost a year after this, but you're making a ton of mistakes. Fasting is not very good. If you eat a ton of calories more then you should, you'll gain weight. If you count calories and you eat all in one meal with calorie deficit, you'll spend the rest of the day miserable. If you count calories and you just eat crap, you'll be miserable even more because you eat a ton of calories in a very tiny meal and you'll seem few or no results after a month. What you need to do is to count every calorie and eat during the day, hight volume foods with low calories. Eat more salads with no dressings, but seasoned. Fat free, no sugar foods. Replace some foods. Don't skip carbs. 1200kcals is two nice meals of chicken, rice, veggies and beans. It shouldn't be sandwiches and cookies. With some more cardio, you can had more calories. Maybe stevia home made cookies,or no sugar jello, or low calorie popcorn, or a entire ridiculous brownie. With the write steps, you can loose a ton of weight and eat a ton of food. Food. Not crap.

The more we age, the more muscle mass goes away. Women's body turns into a tragedy if they don't keep up with muscle mass loss. You should focus on low carbs rather than everything else, more protein, good fat in your diet and keep carbs very low. Most of the stuff we eat are carb rich, we always feel hungry when eating fast food. Losing weight without excise is a bad idea, the skin will just hang where fat used to be.
