I been on OMAD for 1 month & a half and I loss 30lbs so far with light exercise. Working on it to loss 40lbs in exact 2 month. Don't give up, you guys can do it too! 💪

[jonjr]

I weighed 297. Went on OMAD, ate whatever I wanted, no counting calories, fats nor carbs. In one year I lost 120 pounds!

[lauren_ashlei]

Alternative days= miserable
Intermittent fasting= irritating
OMAD= GAME CHANGER! EASIEST TO DO!

[wayne]

Been doing OMAD for 2yrs lost 50lbs and I feel great it’s my way of eating for the rest of my life. It’s amazing

[Yourunkbob]

For anyone struggling with OMAD, try this tip. When u feel REALLY hungry and it becomes uncomfortable, try inhaling deeply and holding your breath. Do this repeatedly until you start feeling better. It will help get you through those short periods where you feel like ur starving. To me, it helps because when u take in a lot of air, it kind of feels like you've put something in ur stomach and it eases the feeling of being empty. As soon as you exhale, the discomfort comes back but inhaling repeatedly and holding your breath each time will reduce the discomfort.

I started at 18:6, moved to 20:4 and now I do OMAD. I’m shocked because I am not even hungry. Even when I get to meal time. I basically eat because I need to. I started with Keto and then read a lot about IF. I saw it as a way to lose weight faster, with the health benefits as a great side effect. I stated at 252 and 8 weeks later, I am 223. My GW is 200.

Thanks for this! My life has been transformed by this sort of information. I am turning 65 and for the past 2 years I have combined LOW CARB (Keto) with Intermittent Fasting, lost 82 lbs., came off ALL MEDICATIONS (2 for hypertension, one for high cholesterol and gave up my CPAP for sleep apnea). I am
Loving life! I started my own YouTube channel “Bill C Thompson - Live Healthy, Finish Strong “

[izuki]

Ive been eating OMAD for two years and its been good, as long as you are eating nutrient dense foods, low insulin carbs, i told my doctor and he said i was starving myself, ive lived two years with this life style, it sustainable, eat the right foods.

[method]

I drink coffee in the morning and have dinner only. I have a six pack and can exercise all day without eating (until dinner).

[ahmetcakartas]

I am 120 kg now, will be starting omad tomorrow.. i need to lose 30 kg very fast for health issues so wish me luck guys👌

[wnose]

FYI, if you're thinking of OMAD, I suggest reducing your carb intake (bread, noodles, rice, chips etc) to about 10-20% of normal and increasing vegetables/protein/healthy fat intake. I find carbs make me hungry later.

[yr]

Been doing omad for 3 years. I lost 30-35kg, and able to maintain my weight. My routine checkup normally comes out as high ldl, normal hdl, normal blood pressure and normal triglycerides level. My body composition has around 8-9% fat.

[lesliesimmonds]

I did OMAD for 3 months lost a lot of weight felt great while doing it! Fell off the wagon for a month n a half n feel the inflammation in my back my skin looks horrible my digestion is off so I’m back to OMAD n loving my body again!

[Violetsinbloom]

I've lost 35lbs doing omad..Saturdays are my cheat days its like a reset. Sometimes u may need them if ur trying to lose weight and the weight loss begins to stall

[omadoutlaw]

🤠I have been mostly OMAD for over 5 years now!

[jenny]

I've been doing OMAD with reduced carbs (not low carb, I eat fruit, sweet potatoes etc, & occasionally sourdough bread) for several weeks. First diet I've actually been able to stick to, not felt dreadful on, & has resulted in continuing weight loss. I have 1 day off from OMAD approximately every 6-7 days, either 16:8 or just 3 normal meals, I always try to make them healthy, not overeat, no snacks in between the meals, & the last meal would be low carb. It's such a relief to find something that works.

[dohaqtr]

I can't believe i have done it 2 weeks now i only eat at 1 pm and until next day same time i started at 119kg and today 116kg in just 2 weeks i fill so good i will not stop until i reach my weight loss goal

[redeye]

I Did OMAD cause I'm Broke and just lose my job lol🤣 as I observed, it really stops cravings, i feel fine and has energy to do things.
Before where I eat 3x a day with snacks in between, i always crave and binge eat especially at night.
OMAD is not for all. But it really works for me.

[musicluvrlaurie]

I lost 35 lbs. in two months eating 8-10 meals per week. OMAD, 2MAD, weekend fasts.
High fat, low carb is the way to go as you can fast so easily when you eat satiating healthy fats. I plan to eat this way from now on.

[gabriellarosa]

During the week I do OMAD and weekends two meals a day. I have been doing intermittent fasting do maintain my weight.
