I have never been able to resist sugar and snacking. I started on a two meals a day and soon I had no cravings whatsoever. It’s much easier to be hungry than to resist cravings.

I lost 22 kilos in 6 months, from 90 kilos to 68 kilos, by eating 2 meals one at 1pm and other at 8 pm, iam 5 feet 9 inches

i've always seen it like a car engine. If you keep the engine on at all times will degrade the engine really fast. So eating twice a day allows the body to have long intervals where it is not digesting food, and helps the body live longer.

Optimal fat loss happens when insulin is low. So imagine skipping breakfast and having lunch/dinner finishing your last meal at 6pm. You fast from 6pm-noon. This allows insulin to fully lower and around 8hrs per day your body is tapping into fat stores.

If you're eating 6x a day, you're constantly spiking insulin levels. Then after your last meal, at most you're getting 8-10 hrs before you eat breakfast. This is only enough time for your insulin to return to normal. So you never truly tap into bodyfat for energy. Now can you lose weight with 6x a day? Yes. But the ultimate goal is to drop excess fat which is not automatically tied to weight loss. This is why you see so many people that lose scale weight that still have high body fat percentages.

It's all about Insulin, the fat storage hormone. Every time you eat your Insulin rises and causes fat storage. I Eat 2 low carb meals a day, 6 am and 6 pm....dropped 10 pounds a month. 230 to 170. Still at 170 for 3 years now.
Stick to meat and vegetables like early humans did for millions of years. They didn't eat grains and carbs. The only time they ate fruit (fructose) was in summer to fatten up for the long winter. They dont teach much nutrition in Medical School. The emphasis is on diagnosis and medications, when food should be. You absolutely are what you eat.

I’ve been on intermittent Keto diet. All I eat are fats, protein and low carb vegetables. The only liquids I consume are water, tea and coffee. No sugar added of course. The way to lose weight with a 2 meal a day fast is to make sure not to consume anything in between your meals. Literally. All you drink is water in between. Do this consistently and you will be in better health and shed weight. You will not starve or lose muscle. This is the proper way to lose weight with only 2 meals. I eat at 12:00pm and at 6:00pm. That’s it.

I stumbled into this diet after my work schedule didnt allow me lunch. I have been doing it for one month now and i feel great. I even started cooking more and am saving money from fast food. I have lost weight and i hardly got any cramps from my period.

I was an obese teen. I did this in my early 20s because I was a college student who slept in til 11. and lost 70lbs in 6 months. My entire 20s, I didn’t eat breakfast and maintained. Fast forward to my 30s and 40s, I do breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack… and I gained. Did the 2 meals again and back to sustainable weight loss. It works.

On my 27th day of OMAD. From wearing size 12-14 clothes, now wearing 8-10. ❤❤❤This is a lifestyle for me now.

Try them all and whatever works, go with it. But eating 6 small meals did not work for me. Cutting carbs below 80 grams per day worked. But if you pig out at a buffet, plan on not eating for at least 18 hours and better yet 24 hours. It takes a while to burn off 2700+ calories at a buffet.

He should break it down and say the more you eat the more insulin you trigger.

[darrengaudry]

But I'm hearing this from a guy with a double chin!

[CemetaryGates]

Genetically more meals is NOT what we ate like for millions of years, feast and famin is what our bodies know.

[frankiefernandez]

FAIL... sugar is the problem. Every 3 hours the urge to eat is not so much hunger...it's your addiction to sugar.

[mugdhaapte]

its one of the old indian way of eating...and it works and very simple...world copies india and says new studies...

Doing 2mad has helped me lose weight and helps me feel fool and not constantly thinking of eating.

It is important to separate people the eat the standard American diet(high glycemic index) and people that eat a plant based diet(low glicemic index). Probably if someone eats foods with high glycemic index, it is better for that person to eat small meals more frequently in order to avoid huge spikes on insulin. But if someone eats foods with low glicemic index, then that person can sustain a normal insulin level by eating with less frequency.

I do weight lifting and I eat 4 to 5 times per day. I'm losing a lot of fat because I'm building muscle and muscle burns fat.
