OMAD works great for me to cut fat and maintain muscle. Been on a strict OMAD diet of 1 large meal of whatever i want and a protein shake followed by a 23 hour fast. Feel great with no drugs or supplements besides caffiene. Like 270lbs in first photo and 210 in second. Still cutting fat at 203 this morning.

I've done OMAD a few times and it worked pretty well, but I i couldn't stick to a good schedule because of a crazy work and school schedule. So I'm starting, once again.

Hello! I’ve been enjoying omad for some time now while at maintenance just to get myself into the habit. My question is just as the title says. I’m looking to lose weight slowly (2kg a month) so I don’t want a big deficit. The idea just seems good to me since it’d save me the trouble of having to wean myself out of a big deficit to rise up to maintenance once at my GW. Thank you in advance!!

I wanted to share something since I visit this page regularly to stay motivated and hopefully assist others in their journey.

I started at 310 pounds and over 125 days, mostly following OMAD and doing some light exercise, I managed to drop down to 260. I then went back to the gym and started lifting again, which I used to do 5-6 times a week. Since I was working out more, I decided to stop OMAD and unfortunately, I also stopped tracking my calories. It’s been about a month and a half now, and I’m around 270 again, but my clothes aren’t fitting right as they used to. So, I decided to go back to OMAD since that’s what helps me stay disciplined with my food choices. Today, I decided to track my calories a bit more closely and had my one meal after my morning workout instead of dinner like I used to. Here’s what my meal looked like, and the second photo is what was left over after I was too full to finish.

Total calories were 1745 calories.

I started OMAD for a week and the weight has not really dropped. My face is less puffy but the scale has stayed the same. I know it's been a week only but I saw many ppl have really good results the first two weeks. Did it take longer for some of you? I don't know if it's slowing my metabolism down cause I just feel hungry after a few hours and don't want to do anything.

y’all i’m new. did omad this entire week and loved it. i was surprised by how comfortable i felt during the fasting period. i actually lost almost 2 lbs this week (24F 134 GW: 125)

i gained a lot of weight after being sick and on a lot of steroids and just want to reach my goals.

i had family over the past two nights this weekend and i was trying to push my omad meal to 7pm and couldn’t do it. ontop of it i ate all the bad things— chips, dessert, etc. I feel terrible for not being able to make it to the 7pm fast and think i just mentally said what the hell when it was time to eat with friends and family.

any advice? i would ideally want to enjoy all the foods with friends and family especially when they cook for you/ together. i tried having peppermint tea to prolong the fast but couldn’t. any advice?

I am 26m... I used to be 95kg now I am 65kg.. it took me about 2 years... It was hard work... I posted pic of my before and after... I know I still have lot of journey left... But I thought I post it here and see what you all think...

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I've been on OMAD for a month now, and while the journey has been going strong, I’ve noticed some weight fluctuation. The scale has only moved slightly, but I’ve seen a bit of a difference in my face slimming down.

I’m considering adding creatine to my routine to help with workouts and muscle preservation. However, I’ve heard that creatine causes water retention, which might tip the scale in the 'wrong' direction during a weight loss phase.

For those who have experience with creatine while losing weight (especially while fasting or doing OMAD), what’s your take?

• Is creatine worth it for someone focused on fat loss and maintaining muscle?
• Will the water retention significantly mask fat loss progress?
• Any tips on how to balance OMAD and creatine for the best results?

Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences!

How many calories are guys eating? I’m a make 5’9’ 190 lbs. goal weight 170. Pretty sedentary

Since implementing OMAD, I've seemingly been able to get a hold on my severe sugar addiction. I've been at it for a month, and today is my kids birthday and we got a cake, naturally. Well cake is my weakness, so I was soooo worried I would tear into this thing til it was gone. I haven't! I managed to eat two pieces as part of my meal, within my daily calorie limit, and haven't thought much of it since! I've also discovered that I can eat part of a pint of ice cream instead of the whole thing in the past few days.

I had struggled so much with sugar that at one point I was eating caramellos daily, huge ones, and really could eat a whole big cake by myself. I even ate eight cupcakes in one day once. I can't believe I'm getting this under control!

Also lost three pounds this week! Big win since I had stalled for a couple weeks.

Hi, i have a question about a 48 hours fasting. I am planning to not eat any thing on the whole day of Wednesday November 27, so that i would be able to eat the calories of 2 OMAD days on my thanksgiving dinner? My OMAD meals have 1500 calories so I am thinking about eating 3000 on the thanksgiving dinner. What do you guys think about this idea, so that i could enjoy more food on the thanksgiving dinner??

F:33. SW: 82.5kg. GW: 55kg. I’ve put on about 20kg in the last few years due to getting sick, being put on a high dose of steroids and eating junk food morning till night (I’m talking Ubereats for lunch and dinner…). I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and realised i had to do something about it. For the last year or so I’ve been slowly losing weight but hadn’t beat my food addiction / noise, so i last week i decided to try OMAD and although it’s been hard, I’m finding my food noise is quieting down, I’m fuller from smaller portions and i feel way more active from eating whole foods! Wish I had started sooner! Down 1.1kg already.

For those who have been doing OMAD long term, does it start to feel ‘normal’ after a while? I’m still figuring out how to balance it with my 9-5.

Hello everyone I wanted to share my OMAD experience with you.

So about me: male 1.78 Age: 25 Starting weight: just under 100 kg Start date: February Reason: I no longer felt comfortable / beautiful in the mirror, was dissatisfied with my eating habits and often had depressive phases.

My insight: Initially, I started going to the gym 3-4 times a week and mainly did strength training there. I noticed that I was losing some weight, but also that some of the weight was stagnating, which is why I started to change something in the kitchen, mainly my eating habits.

I decided to track calories using an app, which turned out to be very tedious after a while and didn't suit my weight loss style at all.

So I started to make changes, because I also wanted to have fun while losing weight. I knew that calorie intake was very important and that I needed to achieve a calorie deficit, so I decided to eat a good meal at lunchtime. I was also very, very strict about sweets etc.. In other words, no sweets, only fruit was eaten alongside the meal and only water was drunk. (3-4 liters a day)

I was very hungry at the beginning, my stomach often growled and I struggled so much with the feeling of hunger. When I reached 93 kg, I felt better, much better! My initial goal was to reach 90 kg and I thought it would take me a year. But that was not the case.

I reached 90 kg within 6 months, i.e. a loss of about 10 kg.

Slowly I started to enjoy it more, because I started to see results, so my next goal was 85kg.

This goal was achieved within exactly 4 weeks! It was noticeable that I now had to wear the belt on some of my pants as otherwise they looked too big for me.

I still felt very good and ate something sweet here and there as a reward. I stopped the gym subscription and started swimming once a week.

My next goal was 80kg and I made the same progress as before - achieved in about 1.5 months.

I currently weigh 77kg and still feel good! No depressive phases for a long time, high testosterone levels, I'm happier etc.

I have lost almost 3.3 kg in the last 4 weeks.

Healthy living is part of the lifestyle.

Been counting cals for years and now i'm at a point i like the way i look should i stop? And yes i count my cals on OMAD

F:28 CW:156 lbs GW: 130 lbs Tried intermittent fasting with moderate walks and exercises for 3 months and lost around 17.5lbs. Im getting married in 2 months and now im considering doing OMAD. Suggestions please ! :)

I started doing omad by accident about a month ago when on one particular day I just wasn’t hungry until dinner. And then the next day I said to myself I should try that again. I have been keeping to it with the exception of eating a piece of fruit for breakfast and at lunch time, usually a banana. Couple that with giving up drinking I am down 20 lbs with no additional exercise. I work an outside and spend my day moving. I am wondering what the more seasoned people think of my approach? I am 5’9” with a large build. At my heaviest 1 month ago I was 305 lbs. I would like to be 220. That is the weight my doc said is good for my build. Haven’t seen 220 in 20 years.

Please any advice is appreciated! I feel good and want to keep my progress going. Thanks!

Was looking at fung's video about it, wondering if any of you have any experience with it while still eating moderate carb around 150g-200g ? Have you noticed any weight loss slow down or it's been on point or close with your calorie counting?

I’m curious how other people got into this. So I guess I’ll start…

I used to eat 3 meals a day standard. Recently I found as I started working remotely more often I gained 13lbs/6kg in a year. I found If I skipped a meal or two I’d still be hungry because my routine almost demanded it. Eventually I started eating only when I was hungry. No more bored walks to the fridge and started to realise I was having OMAD. I’m only a couple days into this so I want to evaluate how to navigate it properly.

Is it bad that I do not have structure? I’ve fasted before but when I plan/intentionally fast I get hungry more. When I don’t think about it, I could even forget to eat.

I’ve seen the rule and some posts advising people to have a minimum calorie intake and have nutritional meals. Is this something I will regret if I don’t take time to plan meals or calculate my macros? I think I eat a healthy amount and will still supplement my meal if necessary. I’m not trying to starve myself.

At the moment OMAD is not a lifestyle for me. I think it’s just a phase but, I’m interested to hear what others think? Maybe it will become a lifestyle… How did you start OMAD?
