OMAD

Intermittent Fasting works for me, I started with the 16/8 split and altered it to 14/10. There’s a really cool video on YT about OMAD by What I’ve Learned. Yes the mental clarity is really cool.

It's all about CICO. It doesn't matter if you eat 8x a day or once. I do OMAD for many years cause it's practical, but there's no magic in it.

OMAD and Keto at the same time. Its the best thing ever. Lost 26 pounds in 5 weeks.

You can’t lose 5 pounds in 4 days. That’s all water weight since you are probably eating less carbs

For weightloss you can get it over with quicker by going Snake Diet approach with multiple days in between your single meals, then once you get to your goal weight move back to OMAD for maintenance.

I began OMAD in March of last year. I lost 20 lbs in a few months, then hit a wall.

I am still on OMAD, and still at that wall. I need to lose 20 more, but I can't eat much less than I do. Sucks.

OMAD sucks dick. I've utilized it in the past while cutting, and while it works, it's incredibly far from optimal if you care about keeping and building muscle. I lift 6-7 days a week, and OMAD is just not sufficient enough for me to have good workouts. Either I end up feeling like ass because the food is sitting dormant in my stomach, or I'm lacking some nutrients that really make me feel like shit, for me it's usually sugar or potassium.

Far better to eat 3-6 meals throughout the day to have steadier energy levels throughout the day. On OMAD you're eating either sometime before or after you train. Carbs are god-tier pre and post workout, glycogen is important. If you're consuming carbs on OMAD you're also going to have a singular large spike of insulin where you'll end up feeling amazing and then lethargic and horrible.

It's also better to keep your metabolism consistently working throughout the day to keep your body and hormones functioning with as little variation as possible.

TL;DR: It works (because CICO), but if you're an active person and want to maximize performance and have more consistent energy throughout the day, it's better to eat smaller meals more frequently.

Ultimately it comes down to calories in vs calories out - But there are benefits to Intermittent Fasting outside of that (OMAD is essentially extreme IF).

I had good results keeping to a 6 hour eating window, after a short time your body adapts and you stop being hungry until you are used to eating at 12 (or whenever). While I don't think it has any magic weight loss properties it is just harder to eat more when you only eat in a short time frame.

Doing Keto here.. easiest shit ive ever done.

works like a charm

MKUltraExtreme · 2020-09-03T16:54:39+00:00

Weight training plus keto meal intervals. This is far better and has helped me lose nearly 12 kg in a span of 4 months, and helped maintain it during another 5 months of virtually no gym exercise during the lockdown.

One meal a day is unhealthy unless practiced carefully. The body metabolism sort of slows down to accommodate the calorie deficit judiciously, and it can hit a wall thereafter if one is not careful.

Drink 500-750 ml water as soon as one wakes up; it revitalizes the body and boosts metabolism.

Never skip breakfast.. we need it to rev up our metabolism after a low metabolic state (sleep).

Having fluids half an hour prior to a meal can reduce the amount we consume too.

Been doing exactly that for over two years now. I'm really steady right around 130, and have gotten so good at controlling my weight that I can go up or down at will, slowly but steadily, just by what I eat at that one meal.

Don't overthink it. I had no idea two years ago that anyone did this, I made it up myself and it just works. You don't need books or research. Calories in, calories out. Losing weight is just hunger management, deciding when to be hungry, that's it.

Yeah i used to do that back in the day. Back then we just called it being depressed

2020-09-05T15:03:56+00:00

I was doing OMAD before I even heard of it. I just didn't have much an appetite for anything other than breakfast foods. And cooking in general takes a lot of time. Like the soups I make take 60 minutes to prep, cook and eat.

I do a omad keto style diet because it is what seems to work for me. I know cico is great but im always hungry with it so i do keto.
