OMAD - Intermittent Fasting ONE MEAL?!

As an Intermittent Faster, I eat One Meal a Day a.k.a. OMAD. My one meal is spread over a number of hours usually. I think of it as a long 3 course meal.... appetizer, entrée and dessert. WHAT I eat within each of those categories certainly changes every day. Also, some days I may simply eat a meal and my eating window isn't open long at all. I try to listen to what my body needs and also go with the flow of the day. I have roughly 30 lbs weight loss with this OMAD method. It's been an easy lifestyle once adjusted and I never feel deprived!

I find it so simple to do one meal a day especially like this. I’ve been fasting almost a year and have experienced with different times. I truly love OMAD, I don’t obsessed over any food. I eat what my body is asking for. I find that there’s so much freedom in this way of eating.

I was doing TMAD but now OMAD. It’s so easy and freeing!!! Love this way of life!! 🥰

[sharonlopez]

I agree with you 100%… 90% of time I have a 1 hr window but have other days the might be 4-6 hr window… love IF/OMAD have maintained 35lb loss since October 2021

Thank you for sharing and doing this video. I have been trying to be too strict with OMAD, IF, and Keto and I just can't do it. I had so many better results when I was not trying to deprive myself of sweets altogether. This video and your Zero video are real motivators for me. Thank you a lot!

[joannabettencourt]

This was GREAT! I always though OMAD was way out of the question but this is TOTALLY doable!! Thanks for the encouragement!!

[hollyprentice]

you go girl, I've just started fasting and looking forward to watching all your videos! I made it to 19h today, I really need a mentor or a challenge group where we can post questions, don't mind people that may have left the channel for one reason, more will follow for your IF knowledge!

[starraustin]

I really like this way of eating. Feel so much better without the mental stressing

[bettysweet]

Thanks for showing your plates. It helps me when looking at my own selections, don’t really know why but it does. I’m in the early stages of IF/OMAD. So far so good.

[mawiyahbomani]

I enjoy your approach and outlook on OMAD. I don't agonize over food choices because what I like and need is mindful eating. I do eat what I love but I don't gorge on craving meals.

I just watched your video on "Fast, Feast, Repeat" because I am trying ADF starting this week (today is my fasting day). I love that here you are eating "real" food, ya know, carbs and all LOL. I haven't had a bagel in months, trying to follow KETO with a 20/4 IMF. I don't find KETO to be sustainable for me personally, but I am getting a better understanding on how they work with my body. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your content, but I just wanted to say that :) thank you!

I've watched quite a few of your videos but must have missed this revelation.. Thanks so much for explaining the 3-course meal approach. I've done OMAD (every weekday, I have weekends off and do 18:6) for over a year but have been completely rigid by only breaking my fast at 23 hours with just one meal. I'm definitely going to use the 3CM way of OMADing from now on without feeling like I've 'failed' that day.

Just discovered your channel and love your videos and information. I ordered the Fast, Feast, Repeat book today and can't wait to delve in!! Thanks for being REAL and helping people!

I love that you are still able to eat what you enjoy. I still don't know if I could do intermittent fasting but you do show some of the perks. 😀

Hi Jackie I’ve been finding that if I have something sweet when I open my eating window I feel so sick so I’ve been having a savoury snack then something sweet later on if I want it. You are keeping me going on this journey with your videos many thanks

[inspiredandenchantedphotog]

Pretty much everything you are saying has resonated with me. It's the only "diet" I've even stuck with for all the reasons you say and I'm loving it!

[NaomiHills]

Wonderful video. I admire you for your diet, and how you are doing so well with it.

[Alimakingherway]

I'm currently 14 hrs in planning to go 23 hours. I've been so drained eating normally and of course I don't want to diet so I've decided to try fasting to see if it helps with my energy levels and so far I'm feeling great! usually I wake up and have coffee first thing and then I'm tired all day but I feel so much energy right now. Hopefully fasting is my saving grace 🙏

[victoriafuller]

Thank you for the Zero app info and the Weekly Average tracker spreadsheet! Really helps me to remain calm when my weight fluxes and I can see the past weeks and how much closer to my goal :)

[sckirbyc]

You hit on a lot of the same points that I feel as to why omad works for me! Cheers

Thanks Jackie
Loving your videos & eating lifestyle.
