I am now into my second month with OMAD, and I really, really like it ! Since there is only ONE rule (eating only once a day), it is pretty simple to follow this eating plan.
I kind of sneaked my way into the idea, and started by doing a 16:8 fasting window, and having an earlier dinner. My eating window was from 8am-4pm, and then I fasted after that.
Once I saw how easy that was, I started eating only a protein shake for breakfast and then the late lunch after swimming.
After I read that it was much better to exercise at the end of your fast because you burned fat better then, I eliminated even the protein shake, and that actually started me on the one meal a day plan.
I like that I only have to be concerned about one meal a day, and even though there are no restrictions on what you can or can’t eat during you one meal, I mostly stick to low carb foods, and only have other foods occasionally, like if we go out for lunch , or something similar.
I have also joined several facebook groups, and an OMAD forum, so I feel like I have some good support to keep following this WOE (way of eating).
If anyone is interested in the forum, PM me and I will give you the link for it, since it is not a conflict with this forum in any way.
There are SO many health benefits from intermittent fasting that this is not just a temporary weight loss plan, it is going to be a way of life for me, and hopefully, a step into even better health.
