Hey guys! I look completely beaten up but I made a video to update on my OMAD challenge and address some comments. Timestamps: 1:58 Am I still fasting? 2:54 Did I maintain the weight loss? 4:47 Jumping into one meal a day? 5:53 Is fasting unhealthy? 7:22 My relationship with food now? 8:44 Future fasting videos?
Stability for a year is fantastic! I'm in my 60s, so I remember a time when people had less trouble maintaining a stable, "healthy" weight. Most people hat breakfast at 8, lunch at noon, and dinner at 6pm. These meals had to be prepared by someone in the household from raw ingredients, fast food was a treat you might have on a Saturday, and snacking was not all that common. People ate primarily home-cooked meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner in about a 10 hour span. Not so different from 8/16. And people who skipped breakfast, which I think was many/most of us, were eating 8/16 aside from a coffee in the morning. I think it's also significant that since so little pre-made food was eaten, we were not eating hidden sugar. And nobody walked down the street drinking huge, calorie dense coffees. Nobody walked down the street drinking coffee at all. Everything in life and society supported a way of eating which was clearly healthier. It's much harder today when the workplace often has food lying around, and people cook far less for themselves. There is a belief that we don't have time to cook, but since we have time to binge Netflix, we clearly have time to cook. Making a meal does not have to be a long complicated activity, but advertising has convinced us that it is. I applaud you for your transparency in this effort, and for your success in maintaining a stable weight despite the influences of modern life which can make that a struggle. Brava you!
This is such a great prospective! Thank you so much for sharing! I find everything you mentioned to be true. . .I'm constantly bombarded with fast food and junk food at work and home at all hours of the day whether I want to or not. I tried my best to keep strong self discipline with all kinds of diets and even the traditional 3 meals and exercise to stop my exponential weight gain but failed every time. So I found fasting and found that limiting the time I eat was so helpful for me. It's honestly a shame that our society is built on this calorie dense always available food culture. It means that every day is an uphill battle with food and eating and weight and self image. I'm slowly getting myself out it . . .so thank you so much for the love and support
@@theadventuresofrah I really admire you and your efforts. I think you will help a lot of people without tipping them into disordered eating. I think we have to make friends with hunger. It isn't an intolerable state; it's just the signal that in a little while we will need to eat. I think we have confused not feeling too full with being hungry, and hunger with pain. Hunger is, as you have demonstrated, a manageable and necessary sensation, not an emergency, and not virtue. I'm sorry that you have such a lot of societal crap to deal with. All these things get in our heads. You didn't create this situation, but you are dealing with it beautifully!
Just want to add, that hunger, while it's not an emergency, is a call to be answered. Learning to recognize both hunger and satiety in a peaceful way, and not confusing either of them with anxiety, boredom, sadness, etc., is so important. And so difficult when, as you say, our society is built on screwing that up. My family has experienced eating disorders of a few types. I know how these things get out of balance. What you have demonstrated is one way to find balance, and you have stayed balanced for a year!
WithMetta omg this sums up my life before college! Im 24 now but before we mainly ate home cooked meal even to lunch in school we took our own lunch with us and I honestly loved it and i was so much thinner ! I graduated from college with 12 kg (24 pounds i think) added to me and I’m still trying to get rid of them 🤦🏻♀️
@@la4549 Yours is not an uncommon story, Leena. Maybe this big interruption we have now will allow us to break some habits we want to break. I'm pretty convinced we do best when we eat homemade meals, made of food ;0) , and forego the desserts masquerading as coffee. Good luck with your 12 kg. Losing them slowly is actually better than losing them quickly. :0)
the fact that you uploaded the previous video a year later actually gives us more of a view of how to maintain it! so excited to try this out, been trying to find a way to lose a couple pounds. ps your voice is so calm and soothing its great
1-year-later (again!) - Curious how you did with your own fasting journey. I started intermittent fasting this month (Nov 2020) and it's definitely removing extra inches from me! Her 1st video of eating once a day reminds me so much of what I've experienced this month! I have a lot of health issues, so taking me longer to adapt, but one day at a time! And I do agree with her about how she has more control over food now. I am a late-night snacker as well.. so her story is motivating
I did this and lost 45 lbs in 2 months! It really does work! 👍 I kept it off for years, and maintained my weight until I got sick & had surgery. Then I gained a good amount of weight so right now I’m trying to lose again so I’m dieting & doing light exercises.
I stress eat so badly at work/after work! definitely think it's linked to our jobs :( I want to start OMAD again today, I have done a week before and I loved it x
yes for sure, the constant snacking and not really having proper sit down meals . . plus all the stress adds up. If you tried it before and loved it, then keep going! You got this
I absolutely adore your personality. When I first saw this image of you I got choked up and I thought poor baby, no one better not put their hands on her. And then when I saw that it was posted a year ago I got a little perspective and calmed myself down. But I like all the other people just feel like you are so honest and straightforward it's so refreshing, you work so hard. I'm 63 years old and new to omad and I absolutely love it, your videos really help me. thank you so much.
I probably commented on your last video and I’ll say the same on this one... fasting is miraculous💕 it’s a beautiful experience everyone should try! Sometimes when people write negative comments it’s because they haven’t taken the time to study this method, they believe the typical “eat a lot in little portions” idea which is completely a misguided way to live. Fasting has healed me in many ways it’s also removed a lot of my sugar addiction and it’s practiced in history and in a lot of religious and spiritual practices💕 beautiful video and keep it up🤩
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I agree 100%. A lot of people think that fasting= starvation and that's why they call for the many small meals a day diet to lose weight. But eating many meals small meals a day was completely unsustainable for me and did nothing for my food addictions. I always ended up giving up and gaining it back. I've had such wonderful experience with fasting that I'm fully adopting it as a lifestyle. There is something so effortlessly easy and natural about it. It's not even about the weight loss anymore. . .its benefits exceed that. I'm so glad to hear you had a similar experience :) sending you much love!
I came from your OMAD video to this one. I love your honesty and your very natural way of talking in front of the camera. Blessings from Northern Ireland 😊
Thank you for having uploaded your updated video! I’m doing ADF (Alternate Day Fasting) because I felt it would be more doable. I’ve lost 6.6 lbs in my first week. 👏🏼 I’m noticing better sleep because I’m going to bed lighter, less cravings, I’m more mindful when I do eat. It’s as I thought it would be, but I started with a positive determined mindset and motivated. I’ve also hit my head stepping into my fire escape 😂. I hit it so hard my neighbor came over to ask if I was ok. Anyhoo, you are awesome and super brave for sharing your experience. I wanted to find real people going through this journey I would embark on. You’re the best!
I love fasting. Sometimes I do 16/8 other times 18/6 but I do it most days. Also no eating between meals is a terrific boost. I loved your 30 day challenge, it’s what bought me here.
Thank you for not being afraid of showing your body, real bodies are so needed for the world to correct all the fake images we're flooded with. Trying to figure out my issues similar to yours, thanks.
Thankful to see your video! I’ve just began my once a day eating this week. I feel great but today was a little tough. Your video inspired me to keep going! Thank you and way to maintain!
I am definitely looking forward to your results at the end of your next 30 days!! We got this!! I just started my fasting journey for next 30 days just yesterday. It’s definitely challenging, but it’ll be worth it in the end. I struggle with binge eating so I’m hoping that this will help with my relationship with food.
I've been intermittent fasting for 5 months now, I do 4-5 days a week 16-8 I'm going to the gym around 4 times a week, I haven't yet weighed myself though. 🙈
@@AGPostarStudios Yes, I've lost alot of inches. I don't weigh myself which is bad but will do. I don't do it every as it's not sustainable and tbh I'm not completely strict in my diet but I make it a habit to do it for atleast 4 days a week.
@@BudgetFriendlyCreations Yes I am, I've made it my habit to do it atleast 4 days a week. I definitely see weight loss. I've been going to the gym for a year so I'm toning up really well. 😊
im really happy it worked out well for you! I will somewhat fast normally because my appetite fluctuates and sometimes i just dont get hungry and will only eat at dinner. right now i am definitely eating more than i should, so i might try to steady my eating habits instead of just doing what my body decides. i'll be easier some days and harder others when i really crave stuff.
I’m a mom of two adult boys and when they were children, they constantly bruised themselves. They were typical healthy, rambunctious boys. At that time, I read that Princess Di always carried a tube of Arnica Gel in her handbag to use on William and Harry. So, I purchased a tube at my local health food store and began using it and I was amazed! It works quickly, it is not greasy, and is cooling on your skin. I highly recommend everyone keep a tube around just in case you have an accident like yours. PS your videos are just the encouragement I need to try intermittent fasting myself. Thanks!!
Thank You for posting YOUR very *Honest & realistic results* Through my own method of beans, veggies, apples, bananas, rice (and little bits of Mars bars!) I dropped from 195 pounds to 158 pounds in the space of 3 months - that was in 2012. Now it is Oct. 2020 and I have stabilized at 160-165 for the past 8 years
Darling, you have been so big motivation for me to start after watching your video. So I am just in week number 3 of body prep. And I am going to support all you say. I feel better. I eat food, I am not looking for just make me feel nice stuff. I sleep better and my hormonal balance has improved. ( Almost 47 yo) so I can't as you say to anyone just do it, but those who's health allow, I can only recommend. Thank you and all the best. Get well soon.
Thank you for this. I did ADF fasting with great success but now I am in a plateau. I am trying to do OMAD but have heard some negative things with regards to gaining the weight back. However I have found a couple youtubers like yourself that have managed to not gain the weight back with OMAD. I would likely be going back to ADF but I definitely don't want to ruin any progress I have. I worked too hard. Also it makes me feel better that you are in the healthcare field and you were willing to participate in something like this. Lots of people say that fasting is negative without knowing anything about it. Fasting is incredible really. I did want to say you looked beautiful this entire time :)
Girl, how are your energy levels? Mad props to you. Doctor? Nurse? That was my only thoughts on the OMAD challenge video! Those are long exhausting days! You look great btw!! I eat plant based, but I was finding myself eating junk and processed foods, so I am currently challenging myself this month as well. Whole foods and small eating window. I'm hungry, but I feel good! Just a headache at the moment LOL.
My energy levels have been surprisingly good once I got used to it. I no longer have the 3 pm/ afternoon crashes, my energy levels stay consistent. I'm actually a biomed engineer but I work in the OR and so I have those long hrs plus on call too. I was worried about that when I first started fasting but I've been doing well :) I also eat plant based and I'm super addicted to junk food and processed foods. . .so I feel your pain LOL
I’ve done that same thing, on the car door! Ouch! Glad you missed your eyeball! I’m so proud that you’ve maintained! That’s gotta be the hardest part of it all!
I just watched your 30 day challenge last night. I have pretty much done intermittent fasting pretty much my whole life. my biggest challenge is if I stay up late I get super hungry before I go to bed and end up eating something bad right before I fall asleep. Derp! Thanks for sharing.
Hi .. I've been doing intermittent for years and now work around a 4 hour feeding window with some days on omad ... It's worked GREAT ... feel so much better in all parts of my life ... sleep, energy, mental state and concentration ... I built up slowly like you from 12 hours ..then it's not such a body shock ... I've lost over 40 lb ...( We call that 3 stones in UK ) A great tip I found is to really hit the fluids but make sure you top up the electrolytes as you pee of course so much more ....I just used the simple replacement powder sachets and added these to water..i just have one a day ....or just a little salt if you can't get them. They REALLY are a hidden secret and keep you feeling great ..it's not food shortage oftentimes making folk feel slow . It's dehydration and shortage of minerals... Can't really get over the increase of general alertness .... It's obviously the 'Hunter's hormone' being around in my body ...not that I'm ever hungry now at all ... I just do primal diet in my feeding window ( no processed foods ) and it really works ..I think personally it's the modern smashing up of carbs and blending so we can absorb them as body fat which is killing us now ( the Millers are the killers ) ......I'm living now in a different body ...eating TONS of the right stuff and loving it so so much ....keep in touch ... thanks for sharing .... Keith UK xx
Well done you. I am starting fasting tomorrow, I plan initially doing a day fasting then eating and so forth. Initially I am going to just 'eat healthily' without counting calories but no junk food. I will see where I am in 14 days. Thank you for inspiring me. I have subscribed 🤞
last year, i started dieting with 58kg which had me calorie restricting about 500 to 700 a day & 2 hours of excercise but i only got down to 55.7 for a month. after that, i gave up bcs everything seems to work so slow for me and im a student so i got no time at all to excercise. i even thought that i dont have a chance to be skinny anymore. but last month, i suddenly had the motivation to do so. i started IF (20:4) combined with OMAD as a 57.9kg & 146cm 15 years old girl. it has already been exactly a month and im now 53.1kg. so yes, IF is the the real game-changer!
Thank you for the update, I am going thru this at the moment and seeing videos like yours really help. Great to see your successes and learning from it.
I just watched your OMAD video this evening. Thank you for your positivity, you are very inspiring. I also work a stressful job and struggle to live a clean healthy life at times. I do the occasional fasting. I hope in the future, I can eliminate sugars and caffeine from my life. Keep up the good work.
This is so amazing and inspiring !!!! You are maintaining it !!! WELL DONE ! I am so proud of you and happy for you and also really wanna do it as well ! This is amazing !! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it really is inspiring.!
Thanks for up date I have been thinking about doing this and I love Your explanation about slowly getting there looks like 12 hours on 12 hours off is how I shall begin
I left a bunch of comments that might be helpful today on your old video, but another one I have been up to lately is started doing a hundred pushups a few days a week....same as you with food....i just do it on the days i feel like it....but for sure a couple a week. It is doing great things for my upper body without any other workout beside that i hike a lot and thats usually when i do my pushups. Im now up to 150 pushups a day in about 5 sets of varying number. Go girl....Goooooo!!!
I’ve been doing the 16/8 for quite awhile off and on but just recently started the every other day method. It’s tough I’ll probably go back to 16/8. Great job 👍
yay so excited to see your journey through the videos! it’s inspired me to try the intermittent fasting as well to help with cravings and overall health:) might as well try it out! xx
Husband and I have been doing intermittent fasting and counting carbs for 3 months now, it took awhile to shorten our eating window. Also, detoxing from sugar was difficult too, omg and the cravings! But together we’ve lost 55-60 lbs so far, and we have intentions to keep going. The combo with IF and low carb is hands down a killer combo. You’ve already got IF down, I think you’d see crazy results with cutting sugar/carbs. :) btw you’re badass for maintaining a whole year! Keep up the good work!
thats some awesome progress! Congrats to you both! I would love to cut down the sugars and simple carbs but I keep delaying it especially since I've very stressed lately and they tend be my comfort food. I know that cutting them out will benefit me in the long run but I'm struggling hahaha. Any tips?
Rather than calorie deficit, have you considered Keto? My A1C went from 7.5 to 5.3 in three months and lost 23 pounds of mostly water weight caused by inflammation from Sugar and grains. I'm 70 years old and changing my whole eating life was daunting. Now I'll never go back. I use almond or coconut flour, avocado oil instead of canola or seed oils, above ground veggies and no root veggies, whole butter, heavy whipping cream, cheese, eggs. Stevia for sugar substitutes. It's to train the body to burn fat as fuel and not glucose. Just a thought. I am proud of your maintenance. It's a big deal. Pats on the back to you. xoxo
MsAstroStone Keto isn’t good long term. Less than a year is best. Keto can cause strokes, and heart attacks due to the increase of red meat and increase of too much calcium. (:
@@theadventuresofrah Even if you don't do strict Keto, Vegan style, you can remove sugar and replace it with monkfruit, exchange wheat flour for almond flour and coconut flour, which will reduce inflammation. Good luck with working on your health. xoxo
I just watched your first video two days ago, now I find this video. Glad everything is going well for you. I would suggest trying keto with OMAD for your thirty day challenge. I've been doing that for a couple weeks and my pants are getting loose. I don't own a scale either so I go by how my clothes fit.
I'm fasting every other day. I do eat breakfast every morning: steel cut oats with fruit. After that nothing but water, tea or coffee till the next morning. Eating days I allow myself what ever I want.
Well done. Its really hard to stick to just one meal a day. I think an easier one to stick to would be to totally fast for one day a week and it normally for 6 days. You would automatically eat a 7th less food per week. Best wishes. Robert
Are you familiar with "set point theory"? I've kept my weight off by "resetting" my set point. I'm actually lowering my weight again and hope to reset it again. Your first video was excellent and one could see you become happier as time went on. Your eyes became "brighter". Best of luck to you. You have been inspiring.
My goodness, how are you doing as this pandemic is coming thru. Please stay safe if you are still working at a hospital. Enjoyed your videos, hope there are more to come. I have 100 lbs to lose.
Thank you for sharing, it is nice hearing your Story, may lot of Success come upon You, love, Diana Lipski 💕 a 8 years Vegan Lady 💕 have a Loving, Sunday 😍
Congrats! Been doing IF for about a year and a half. Its by far, the best way to keep your weight down without the typical "dieting". Our ancestors never ate 6 times a day, nor did they go much more than one meal a day. The FDA food pyramid is insulting and only designed to keep people eating way more food than they actually need.
I've read that the OMAD diet is great for IBS So far I've eliminated breakfast and my tummy feels a bit better already (still got coffee in the morning though lol, black no sugar) I'm looking forward to looking better and feeling better I'm gonna go all out for the holidays though and carry on afterwards 🙃
I also practiced intermittent fasting before I got pregnant and lost lots of weight.. But instead of limiting calories I've cut down on carbs, not eliminated, just cut down and upped good fats. It helped a lot with getting rid of hunger. I don't think I could do IF without changing what I was eating.
I found intermittent fasting and keto and I lost over 40 pounds, then I met my gf and crashed. I’m trying to get back on my wagon. 16:8 doesn’t work anymore because I’m eating way too much sugary foods. So I started back on omad keto and I’m also going to do some 24-48 hour fasting when working consecutive days. It’s easy to fast at work because I’m not allowed to eat anything when sitting with patients in my hospital job.
Im a midnight nurse... I gain 40 pounds in a year and a half... Nothing seems to work for me... I just love my snack and eating chocolate all that stuff... but I think you give me the strength to do 16/8...
I once had a mad half hour and on the way out of the living room I decided to moon my boyfriend and as I bent down I smacked my face on the wall, giving myself a black eye. When people asked what happened the next day in work I was so sketchy answering them ha. I was in NO hurry to tell that story :-)

Keto Love me too! It’s been great for me :) good luck on your journey and thanks for the lovely comment ☺️
Thank you for not being afraid of showing your body, real bodies are so needed for the world to correct all the fake images we're flooded with. Trying to figure out my issues similar to yours, thanks.
This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I started my OMAD yesterday. Looking forward to improving my approach to eating and hopefully better health.
I love how open you are with your struggles. Keep up with your new ways of dealings with your food issues and keep smiling. Your honesty is beautiful.
What a beautiful woman you are! I've so appreciated your honesty and vulnerability. You give other women the courage to do the same.
Love how open you are with realistic reasons. Thank you so much.
You actually replied! Thank you.
Thankful to see your video! I’ve just began my once a day eating this week. I feel great but today was a little tough. Your video inspired me to keep going! Thank you and way to maintain!
I am definitely looking forward to your results at the end of your next 30 days!! We got this!! I just started my fasting journey for next 30 days just yesterday. It’s definitely challenging, but it’ll be worth it in the end. I struggle with binge eating so I’m hoping that this will help with my relationship with food.
Good luck! I'm rooting for you :)
Why does everyone’s black eye justification sound so fake? I ran into a door? I’ve survived a long time without doing that. 🤔
lol I know what you mean I thought the same thing until I walked into my car door hahaha
My sister had a black eye and she lied to her friends and said she ran into a door
ive walked into a tree before
You would not believe I accidentally kicked my bed so hard I need few stitches.
I walked into cupboard doors a few times 🤦♀️ thankfully never had any black eyes, just a very sore nose
I've been intermittent fasting for 5 months now, I do 4-5 days a week 16-8 I'm going to the gym around 4 times a week, I haven't yet weighed myself though. 🙈
Asma Vasyat do you physically see weight loss
Are you still doing it? If so how many weight you lost?
@@AGPostarStudios Yes, I've lost alot of inches. I don't weigh myself which is bad but will do. I don't do it every as it's not sustainable and tbh I'm not completely strict in my diet but I make it a habit to do it for atleast 4 days a week.
@@BudgetFriendlyCreations Yes I am, I've made it my habit to do it atleast 4 days a week. I definitely see weight loss. I've been going to the gym for a year so I'm toning up really well. 😊
@@asmavasyat3170 nice
im really happy it worked out well for you! I will somewhat fast normally because my appetite fluctuates and sometimes i just dont get hungry and will only eat at dinner. right now i am definitely eating more than i should, so i might try to steady my eating habits instead of just doing what my body decides. i'll be easier some days and harder others when i really crave stuff.
Thank you so much for your video. Really, thank you!!
I’m a mom of two adult boys and when they were children, they constantly bruised themselves. They were typical healthy, rambunctious boys. At that time, I read that Princess Di always carried a tube of Arnica Gel in her handbag to use on William and Harry. So, I purchased a tube at my local health food store and began using it and I was amazed! It works quickly, it is not greasy, and is cooling on your skin. I highly recommend everyone keep a tube around just in case you have an accident like yours.
PS your videos are just the encouragement I need to try intermittent fasting myself. Thanks!!
Thank You for posting YOUR very *Honest & realistic results*
Through my own method of beans, veggies, apples, bananas, rice (and little bits of Mars bars!) I dropped from 195 pounds to 158 pounds in the space of 3 months - that was in 2012.
Now it is Oct. 2020 and I have stabilized at 160-165 for the past 8 years
Definetly deserves a sub! Thanks for updating! Just finished watching your last vid from 2 months ago haha. Im hooked now you look great also!
aww thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, welcome!
Darling, you have been so big motivation for me to start after watching your video. So I am just in week number 3 of body prep. And I am going to support all you say. I feel better. I eat food, I am not looking for just make me feel nice stuff. I sleep better and my hormonal balance has improved. ( Almost 47 yo) so I can't as you say to anyone just do it, but those who's health allow, I can only recommend. Thank you and all the best. Get well soon.
Darina Kalinova Great that it is working well for you ☺️👏🏻
You are awesome and real ! You go girl ☺️
I just subbed to you, I love your personality ❤️❤️
aww thank you! Welcome!
Thank you for this. I did ADF fasting with great success but now I am in a plateau. I am trying to do OMAD but have heard some negative things with regards to gaining the weight back. However I have found a couple youtubers like yourself that have managed to not gain the weight back with OMAD. I would likely be going back to ADF but I definitely don't want to ruin any progress I have. I worked too hard. Also it makes me feel better that you are in the healthcare field and you were willing to participate in something like this. Lots of people say that fasting is negative without knowing anything about it. Fasting is incredible really. I did want to say you looked beautiful this entire time :)
Girl, how are your energy levels? Mad props to you. Doctor? Nurse? That was my only thoughts on the OMAD challenge video! Those are long exhausting days! You look great btw!! I eat plant based, but I was finding myself eating junk and processed foods, so I am currently challenging myself this month as well. Whole foods and small eating window. I'm hungry, but I feel good! Just a headache at the moment LOL.
My energy levels have been surprisingly good once I got used to it. I no longer have the 3 pm/ afternoon crashes, my energy levels stay consistent. I'm actually a biomed engineer but I work in the OR and so I have those long hrs plus on call too. I was worried about that when I first started fasting but I've been doing well :) I also eat plant based and I'm super addicted to junk food and processed foods. . .so I feel your pain LOL
You are exactly right - eat when you’re hungry. A lot of people don’t recognize hunger. They eat because they think it’s “time“ to eat.
I’ve done that same thing, on the car door! Ouch! Glad you missed your eyeball!
I’m so proud that you’ve maintained! That’s gotta be the hardest part of it all!
I'm such a klutz! And thank you! I'm pretty proud of that too.
I just watched your 30 day challenge last night. I have pretty much done intermittent fasting pretty much my whole life. my biggest challenge is if I stay up late I get super hungry before I go to bed and end up eating something bad right before I fall asleep. Derp! Thanks for sharing.
Hi .. I've been doing intermittent for years and now work around a 4 hour feeding window with some days on omad ...
It's worked GREAT ... feel so much better in all parts of my life ... sleep, energy, mental state and concentration ...
I built up slowly like you from 12 hours ..then it's not such a body shock ... I've lost over 40 lb ...( We call that 3 stones in UK )
A great tip I found is to really hit the fluids but make sure you top up the electrolytes as you pee of course so much more ....I just used the simple replacement powder sachets and added these to water..i just have one a day ....or just a little salt if you can't get them. They REALLY are a hidden secret and keep you feeling great ..it's not food shortage oftentimes making folk feel slow . It's dehydration and shortage of minerals...
Can't really get over the increase of general alertness ....
It's obviously the 'Hunter's hormone' being around in my body ...not that I'm ever hungry now at all ...
I just do primal diet in my feeding window ( no processed foods ) and it really works ..I think personally it's the modern smashing up of carbs and blending so we can absorb them as body fat which is killing us now ( the Millers are the killers ) ......I'm living now in a different body ...eating TONS of the right stuff and loving it so so much ....keep in touch ... thanks for sharing .... Keith UK xx
Well done you. I am starting fasting tomorrow, I plan initially doing a day fasting then eating and so forth. Initially I am going to just 'eat healthily' without counting calories but no junk food. I will see where I am in 14 days. Thank you for inspiring me. I have subscribed 🤞
last year, i started dieting with 58kg which had me calorie restricting about 500 to 700 a day & 2 hours of excercise but i only got down to 55.7 for a month. after that, i gave up bcs everything seems to work so slow for me and im a student so i got no time at all to excercise. i even thought that i dont have a chance to be skinny anymore. but last month, i suddenly had the motivation to do so. i started IF (20:4) combined with OMAD as a 57.9kg & 146cm 15 years old girl. it has already been exactly a month and im now 53.1kg. so yes, IF is the the real game-changer!
What is IF
Intermittent fasting
Thank you for the update, I am going thru this at the moment and seeing videos like yours really help. Great to see your successes and learning from it.
I just watched your OMAD video this evening. Thank you for your positivity, you are very inspiring. I also work a stressful job and struggle to live a clean healthy life at times. I do the occasional fasting. I hope in the future, I can eliminate sugars and caffeine from my life. Keep up the good work.
thank you! I'm also hoping to eliminate sugars from my life 😭you got this 💪
I just love your energy! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us 💕✨
thank you Kay 💕
You're Awesome!!! You have definitely inspired me to begin intermittent fasting!
Ty for sharing your journey and knowledge 🤗😘🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love all your other videos!! I’m so glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much!
That's so great you maintained! Great information!
This is so amazing and inspiring !!!! You are maintaining it !!! WELL DONE !
I am so proud of you and happy for you and also really wanna do it as well !
This is amazing !!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it really is inspiring.!
Congrats to you. You have stressful job and breakroom filled with food is daily temptation. Good for you. 👏👏👏👏 👏
Thank you for being very honest and It's good to come from a normal person. best Regards
Thanks for up date I have been thinking about doing this and I love Your explanation about slowly getting there looks like 12 hours on 12 hours off is how I shall begin
Thank you! :) yes start slowly from 12 hrs and see how you feel from there, you got this!
Girl! You are sooooo beautiful! Honestly. You truly are!
I left a bunch of comments that might be helpful today on your old video, but another one I have been up to lately is started doing a hundred pushups a few days a week....same as you with food....i just do it on the days i feel like it....but for sure a couple a week. It is doing great things for my upper body without any other workout beside that i hike a lot and thats usually when i do my pushups. Im now up to 150 pushups a day in about 5 sets of varying number. Go girl....Goooooo!!!
You are a beautiful human being! I love your honesty. Wonderful! Congratulations on keeping the weight off for a year!
Exercise consistently for like 3 to 4 days a week you'll see much better results and it's much more healthier as well.
I’ve been doing the 16/8 for quite awhile off and on but just recently started the every other day method. It’s tough I’ll probably go back to 16/8. Great job 👍
yay so excited to see your journey through the videos! it’s inspired me to try the intermittent fasting as well to help with cravings and overall health:) might as well try it out! xx
yay I'm glad to hear that! I'd love to hear about your experiences when you do. . .you got this!
Thank you so much! You seem very radiant and happy!💗🤗 Proud of you
I love your energy 🥰❣️🤚 we need more people like you. Thanks for sharing
Husband and I have been doing intermittent fasting and counting carbs for 3 months now, it took awhile to shorten our eating window. Also, detoxing from sugar was difficult too, omg and the cravings! But together we’ve lost 55-60 lbs so far, and we have intentions to keep going. The combo with IF and low carb is hands down a killer combo. You’ve already got IF down, I think you’d see crazy results with cutting sugar/carbs. :) btw you’re badass for maintaining a whole year! Keep up the good work!
thats some awesome progress! Congrats to you both! I would love to cut down the sugars and simple carbs but I keep delaying it especially since I've very stressed lately and they tend be my comfort food. I know that cutting them out will benefit me in the long run but I'm struggling hahaha. Any tips?
Something peacefully, genuine, and special about this girl. I could listen to you all day. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing and being transparent....thats
What its all about!!!
Rather than calorie deficit, have you considered Keto? My A1C went from 7.5 to 5.3 in three months and lost 23 pounds of mostly water weight caused by inflammation from Sugar and grains. I'm 70 years old and changing my whole eating life was daunting. Now I'll never go back. I use almond or coconut flour, avocado oil instead of canola or seed oils, above ground veggies and no root veggies, whole butter, heavy whipping cream, cheese, eggs. Stevia for sugar substitutes. It's to train the body to burn fat as fuel and not glucose. Just a thought. I am proud of your maintenance. It's a big deal. Pats on the back to you. xoxo
MsAstroStone Keto isn’t good long term. Less than a year is best. Keto can cause strokes, and heart attacks due to the increase of red meat and increase of too much calcium. (:
I don't eat any animal products so that will be difficult for me.

@@Auntyalias2014 oh so it is possible! I'll do some more research and try it out. Thank you for the info :)
@@theadventuresofrah Even if you don't do strict Keto, Vegan style, you can remove sugar and replace it with monkfruit, exchange wheat flour for almond flour and coconut flour, which will reduce inflammation. Good luck with working on your health. xoxo
Aw i watched that video yesterday so happy that this one pooped up ❤️❤️ btw your an inspiration to me
Thank you Ashlee
Great video, very inspiring ❤❤❤ I cant wait for more🙂 I have been keto almost 2 yrs and have been thinking about adding omad!!!
Love you channel keep it up !! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
ugh love you and this video and your honesty :)
💜💜💜
I just watched your first video two days ago, now I find this video. Glad everything is going well for you. I would suggest trying keto with OMAD for your thirty day challenge. I've been doing that for a couple weeks and my pants are getting loose. I don't own a scale either so I go by how my clothes fit.
Thanks for the update!
I'm fasting every other day. I do eat breakfast every morning: steel cut oats with fruit. After that nothing but water, tea or coffee till the next morning. Eating days I allow myself what ever I want.
Well done. Its really hard to stick to just one meal a day. I think an easier one to stick to would be to totally fast for one day a week and it normally for 6 days. You would automatically eat a 7th less food per week. Best wishes. Robert
I'm looking forward to your next video. I'd really like to hear your results after trying it with a daily deficit.😊
Looking forward to hearing how you get on 😀
thank you!
Do you drink caffeine, coffee or black tea, during your fast or is that breaking the fast?
unsweetened tea and black coffee don't break the fast. I don't like coffee but I had unsweetened hebal tea on some fasting days.
Yes! I have the same experience than you about not letting food control me!
Are you familiar with "set point theory"? I've kept my weight off by "resetting" my set point. I'm actually lowering my weight again and hope to reset it again. Your first video was excellent and one could see you become happier as time went on. Your eyes became "brighter". Best of luck to you. You have been inspiring.
I started today wish me luck
me too lol
How’s it going so far @sniddhia ?
Did it work for u??
My goodness, how are you doing as this pandemic is coming thru. Please stay safe if you are still working at a hospital. Enjoyed your videos, hope there are more to come. I have 100 lbs to lose.
Oh man, I hit the top of my head like every 10th time I get into my car. I feel you. 😂
I am so proud of you!
omg I can't wait for more videos!!!
yay! Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing, it is nice hearing your Story, may lot of Success come upon You, love, Diana Lipski 💕 a 8 years Vegan Lady 💕 have a Loving, Sunday 😍
Congrats!
Been doing IF for about a year and a half.
Its by far, the best way to keep your weight down without the typical "dieting".
Our ancestors never ate 6 times a day, nor did they go much more than one meal a day.
The FDA food pyramid is insulting and only designed to keep people eating way more food than they actually need.
I've read that the OMAD diet is great for IBS
So far I've eliminated breakfast and my tummy feels a bit better already (still got coffee in the morning though lol, black no sugar)
I'm looking forward to looking better and feeling better
I'm gonna go all out for the holidays though and carry on afterwards 🙃
Thank you Rah, very cool.
I'm gonna start today, please wish me luck. It's been so hard to loss weight for me and I hit the top 90kg I feel so ugly 😢
Lots of luck! How is it going for you? I know it can be tough, but stay positive and love yourself. That helps with the weight loss.
Use the green makeup stick and then your base foundation. It should cover it.
I also practiced intermittent fasting before I got pregnant and lost lots of weight.. But instead of limiting calories I've cut down on carbs, not eliminated, just cut down and upped good fats. It helped a lot with getting rid of hunger. I don't think I could do IF without changing what I was eating.
I once walked into a pole thing on the street and damn it hurt
Food is NOT therapy
I found intermittent fasting and keto and I lost over 40 pounds, then I met my gf and crashed. I’m trying to get back on my wagon. 16:8 doesn’t work anymore because I’m eating way too much sugary foods. So I started back on omad keto and I’m also going to do some 24-48 hour fasting when working consecutive days. It’s easy to fast at work because I’m not allowed to eat anything when sitting with patients in my hospital job.
I’m here for the black eye in the thumbnail
LMAOOOO
Watch your other video and this back to back. 😊
Netflix binge eating - literally my kind of dissorder
Place a hometrainer in front of your tv. Only watch netflix when using your hometrainer.
How many people clicked on just to see if she would talk about the black eye? 🖐
That is great! Good job❤
thank you! 😊
Im a midnight nurse... I gain 40 pounds in a year and a half... Nothing seems to work for me... I just love my snack and eating chocolate all that stuff... but I think you give me the strength to do 16/8...
Good luck!
I once had a mad half hour and on the way out of the living room I decided to moon my boyfriend and as I bent down I smacked my face on the wall, giving myself a black eye. When people asked what happened the next day in work I was so sketchy answering them ha. I was in NO hurry to tell that story :-)
LOL that's hilarious. That requires a cover story for sure
Amazing my dude
Thank you :)
