The effect of fasting or calorie restriction on autophagy induction: A review of the literature: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1568163718301478 Differential Effects of One Meal per Day in the Evening on Metabolic Health and Physical Performance in Lean Individuals: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8787212/
When I was eating everything, I couldn't stop eating, I stuffed myself uncontrollably. Low to no carbohydrates has saved me, I am eating meat and eggs, salt and water, I love feeling hungry, steak and eggs once a day is blissful
What's funny is when you go carnivore and all your labs improve with weight loss and they're more concerned then when you ate more processed foods that were poisoning you.
@@mgr-v2z I am 70, an R.N. and still working. At the hospital I cannot tell you how many junk carbs nurses eat all day long. Trust me until 3 1/2 ears ago I was eating the same as them. If there was pizza, candy or donuts I was right with them. 😀
The only people who know i eat omad are my husband and our children - and they eat omad too! I make sure we all get our nutrients in. Im 100% strict carnivore, fatty meat eggs, and salt, the hub is about 90%, the children probably 75 to 80%. Everybody is happy and healthy 😊
@dude861 I don't measure my food, I just cook it up and eat it. My meal may be any fatty red meat - thick steak or 2 thick homemade burger patties, or oxtails with the fat left on, or a joint of lamb - with 4 eggs minimum. And a side of chicken pieces with the skin and bone intact for extra protein. I season with salt to taste. The rest of the family will eat the same meat i eat, but they will have a side of steamed basmati rice or some Italian pasta and that's it. No fruits or vegetables. - and i season everybody else's meat however they like it. I drink sparkling water with a dash of acv on ice - 1 litre, and that's it. After I've finished eating and drinking, I dry fast until my next meal the next day around 4/5pm.
I eat a LOT of meat & eggs! I stuff myself every day. But I only eat once a day. Have lost 200 lbs over 4 years. All lab work good. No meds. 67 years old.
Hi I’m a 71 year old lady been doing OMAD ketovore lifestyle for the past 18 months lost 30kilos to get down to my goal weight of 63 kilos, have no more body aches & pains, fantastic blood pressure, on NO medications at all, so now feeling absolutely fabulous! 🤩
Remember that you are not on a weight goal. You are going to settle in were you belong automatically. You will reshape your body by itself. If you have a sudden stop in fat loses eat more tallow and go 16-24 hour's with only water, butter, tallow Redmond salt. Satisfying and gets your body burning up fat
Been pretty much carnivore (less than 10 total carbs/day) OMAD since Aug 1/23, have lost 80 pounds, gotten off all prescription medications, including asthma/allergies/chronic rhinitis, high blood pressure, and multiple daily pain medications for chronic lumbar pain. Pretty much zero exercise as have always been limited to about 2000 steps a day. Am nearly 64 years old and haven't felt this good in my entire life. Stumbled on the info by accident and went down the rabbit hole. What a wonderful adventure it has been. Have gone from size 18 to size 4 after being overweight my entire life as well. Aside from the weight loss aspect, I also discovered a lot of my allergies were caused by foods I was eating every day and didn't even realize they were making me sick.
Dr. Hampton, thank you so much for this information. I have found that I just listen to my body now. I'm almost a year and a half carnivore, strict carnivore. Since my body happens to be one of those that took to carnivore like hummingbirds take to sugar water, I immediately (3 or 4 months) lost 20% of my body weight and felt amazing. But here's the deal, I am now 97 lb and 5 ft 4 in, and at Christmas, I will be 69 years old. I have muscle like there's no tomorrow ...we all call it Maggie Arms because of Maggie the Rancher in Alberta. 😊 Like I said, I feel great but I don't want to OMAD because I'll lose too much weight. BUT, at the same time, if I'm not hungry, I don't eat. * I think there are thin carnivores out there that need to hear this information as well. We can eat three meals a day and still feel good but the key is to listen to your body. If you can and you have excess fat content, then by all means, OMAD and fasting are just miraculous choices...as you put it, TOOLS to better health. Thank you again for being a Dr we can TRUST ❤
It sounds like we started our Carnivore journey around the same time and it is an amazing journey Just loving the fact that I’m not hungry and I can choose to do one the other day or two a day depending on what my body tells me
I am 64 and my weight is 104 lb， height 5ft4in. I tried to donate blood at the red cross and was told I was not qualified (minimum weight for my hight is 110lb). I am on carnivore and I don't have a lot of "fuel storage" in my body. I think the extra fat in many people is an advantage in the context of fasting or when there's a shortage of food😂 I may still try omad and try growing muscles.
@NingyiDu I am totally in the same boat and even less weight than you but also older by a few years. The only two ways we have of adding weight is either * eating carbohydrates to add fat, or * resistance training (lifting heavy things) to add muscle. So I'm just doing what I can to lift heavy things and do the stair machine at the gym for my legs and lifting weights for my arms. It's looking really good in the arm area, and I have strong legs, but I have loose extra skin now in both places. Dr. Berry says that it takes a few years because skin turns over every 3 months. So I guess I'm on the 2026 plan, and I'll be able to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts by THEN and look good 😁 LOL
@@angieobes9835 Thank you.. Yes, I figure if my frame is so small that I wear kids glasses, it pretty much indicates that I am what I am. Now, for the much needed extra skin loss. You'd think that since I went from 119 to 97 it wouldn't look like I have that much extra skin, but I guess adding age to that, doesn't help matters. Dr. Berry says your skin turns over every 3 months. So, I just have to wait it out. LOL Vitamin P again! uggghhh ;)
Dr. Hampton I love you. I really messed up over the Thanksgiving holiday even gained 3 pounds. And it’s tough to get back on. But I’m back. That’s all that matters. I’m 74 year-old on carnivore for six months. I’ve listened to you often. You are very informative and for me supportive. You and Dr. Berry or my go to also I watch the steak and butter girl. My mom and dad are going so they can’t be upset by what I’m doing, but I certainly do have plenty of people around me who are not supportive and saying the same things you were sayingit’s not healthy you can’t just eat me, but I can. You go, Dr. Tony. I have done OMAD. Didn’t know if I could because of my diabetes however, I have also done three day fast. I was so surprised that I could do it.
OMAD is the number one thing that changed my health. I lost 35 lbs without any change to what I was eating. Now though I’m much more careful what I eat trying to eat as few carbohydrates as possible. I workout a lot and my energy level is fantastic. I’m 74 and don’t seem to be aging.
I’ve had several patients only change one thing, fasting, and literally didn’t change their diet, whichdie, which amazes me and had great results like you
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 2 years and 3 month now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) Want to mention if you start to get any allergy symptoms further into carnivore you may have histamine intolerance. Happened to me if I ate smoked meats daily for months straight. Went back to baking my meats and all the symptoms went away! Look into histamine intolerance when starting carnivore to make sure you know symptoms and not to eat smoked aged meats daily like I did if you get symptoms. Eat smoked meats less often. I do go outside daily for at least an hour a day during week and several hours on weekends if possible! I try to stay on consistent sleeping schedule of 6-8 hours of sleep and sleep like a bear!☺️ So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
Thanks for such a long and amazing testimonial And I love all of the influencers you mentioned and I’m so happy that Kerry is working on this wonderful documentary
I’ve been carnivore for 4 months. I just went down to 2 meals a day. I’m finally adjusted to that but I don’t think I could eat enough at one meal to get enough calories. Also, I’m hungry for my second meal. Eggs and bacon for breakfast and a steak for dinner. I’m 68, 110 lbs, feel great, lift weights, walk and do yoga daily.
When I started carnivore I went from needing 3 meals per day to 2 and then to 1 meal per day. Happened organically…occasionally I’ll eat twice per day….but not often.
I started carnivore October 2nd initially for 14 days, but after days gone by I felt less and less hungry until I now don’t even get hungry until after around noon, my biggest cut back is when I dropped the highly processed supermarket foods in January, started intermittent fasting around March 1st and started shopping for Whole Foods, so since January I’ve gone from 190+ to currently 140+ off 2BP meds, cholesterol meds, and never got a chance to start pre-diabetes meds because I drove my hba1c from 6.2 to 5.1 and have been maintaining it ever since….Lucky Me.
@ Interesting…I can explain it to you in a ten page response, but, it would probably be easier for you to just google what is ‘Whole Foods" or "Whole Foods vs Manufactured Foods" or google "Whole Foods markets near me"…bottom line is, there is a huge difference…
At the age of 74 I love doing a lifestyle of OMAD…it works well for me and I feel much better overall. Thank you Dr Hampton for your wisdom and knowledge shared!!
Great video: very succinct and packed with important health information. I've been Carnivore for a year, and OMAD works great for me. I don't get hungry between meals, and have plenty of energy all day. Supper is when I eat, so not much time to digest before bed - but it works well anyway. Perhaps eating morning or noon would be better, but supper is more convenient for me. Good luck to everyone! 🙂
I have been doing carnivore for just over 100 days. Starting out carnivore it was natural to go 2mad. I have done several OMAD days. OMAD seems to be a natural progression as your body adapts to fat and protein intake. For me weekends are an easy OMAD time. This video may just be the push I need to go OMAD. Thanks Dr. Hampton for the great content you provide.
I'm a carnivore that usually eats OMAD in the morning. If I do have a second meal it's within a four hour window. It's so easy and I don't have to eat all day long! It's such a waste of time to eat multiple meals every day.
HI, thx for this info. It helps to support the lifestyle I've chosen for weight loss & better health. I'm 68 yrs old. I recently lost 60 lbs & have maintained for 6 mos so far using intermittent fasting/OMAD. I love the results & the flexibility it affords me. I'm a big foodie so nothing is off limits when I eat but I do consider nutrient requirements & how much/often I eat certain foods. I eat foods that I like. I discovered that I prefer 1 large meal to several small ones that never satisfied me. IF/OMAD give me the flexibility to occasionally not fast at all or to eat more during vacations or social activities. Then I return to the protocol. No more yo-yo dieting ! I can happily do this for the rest of my life.❤
Hi , thx for this new video, 43yo keto low carb hard gainers here I personally can't eat enough calories in one meal ,I always finish by losing to much weight 😬😬
Yes, I do Omad most days and I always feel better when I do. I don't have a breakfast and my 1st meal is not until about 5pm. I've come to find that I can't eat as much food as I used to since consistently eating low carb.
My wife and I been OMAD for 2 plus years. Not hungry till about 3 pm. Eat after 4. This will not work if you are not a fat adapted fat burner in ketosis. A sugar burner would be insane with hunger.
Same for me. I often don't break fast until about 4pm. Sometimes a little later. And I feel good. I've been omad for about a year. Before that, it was 1 to 2 meals a day - carnivore. 😊
Thank you for your input. I have just reached 10 months on carnivore diet. I do not eat omad all the time, but probably 1 or 2 times per week. I like to sneak in a 2 or 3 day fast every once in a while, seems to boost and renew my energy levels. Take care.
One meal a day? I have just four meals a WEEK! No kidding, I only eat at 1300 hrs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, every week. No food, whatsoever, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My régime is: High-(Animal)-Fat; Medium-Protein; Low-Carbohydrate; No-Sugar. I started this after I had watched a documentary on tribes living in the Amazon rain forest. One man was asked what he had eaten that day. He looked puzzled before replying, "Why on earth should I eat today - I ate yesterday?" He only ate fatty animal and fish products and they kept him fully nourished and sated for two days. I discovered this to be precisely the case when I followed suit and I have stuck with it ever since. I have lost much weight; gained muscle; am physically fitter and stronger; am mentally sharper (no more "brain fog"); and I sleep like a baby. At 73 years old I am in better physical and mental shape than I have been for half a century. I only wish I had discovered this fifty years ago.
I always hear people worried about “enough protein.” So how much do we REALLY need? Based on the usual recommendations it’s hard to get it all in one sitting.
Nice one Dr.Hampton. Totally agree. I eat 2 meals a day on Keto. It is so good that Doctors are starting to get people healthy instead of pushing pills.
I love OMAD but all do respect I am plant based with plenty of carbs and I NEVER have hunger pains. Just before my eating time I walk between 3-4 hours everyday and then have my food and never felt better. I am 60 and no medications, below average BP, and resting heart rate hit 39.
Disculpen por el idioma, soy una persona delgada...117 libras, 5'3 , he bajado mucho con cambios en mi alimentación no soy carnívoro estricto,si lo fuera creo que desaparecería. Todos debemos adecuar la dieta a nuestras necesidades. Felices fiestas a todos y también al Dr.❤❤❤
I’ve been carnivore for 2 months I haven’t seen as many results as others. I don’t hurt constantly now and my B/P has come down. My CBG’s still in the high 90s. I’ve started OMAD a we’ll ago and now ready to start 25-48 hour fasts.
For me OMAD is a lifestyle that makes the most sense in all aspects. I've always felt like a trillion bucks eating OMAD and only messing around with some fun foods on holidays only. Eat for health and splurge very carefully.
Dr. Hampton, any research on black coffee and how much it raises insulin? And if it black coffee in the morning technically knocks you out of the autophagy phase? Thank you for your videos! OMAD has helped me considerably drop some fat, but still gain strength in the gym.
After my cancer experience in 2020 I did OMAD next 3 years and I have never felt so great before in my whole life - not a lie. Today because of hard work I do 2 days a day - lunch salat with proteins, eggs etc. and a bigger meal at dinner, feeling just as great. Wish I knew all this before, as my own experiment I can just confirm it works if you want a fresh mind, brain and body.
I have been lowcarb since 2013. “Automatically” I ate less and less and am now OMAD. Feel great, no meds, .lots of energy, when on foreign country trips I feel free because I don’t have to look for food all day. One meal at the hotel will do. And I am 88…
How much protein is necessary when on a OMAD diet? And, how do you get those grams of protein in without feeling to full? Also, what time of day is best for OMAD? I'm 59 and on a ketovore diet, mostly meat but some cheese and occasionally cottage cheese, yogurt, broccoli, and brussels sprouts. I plan to move to a full carnivore diet soon to see if I do better with blood sugar control and weight loss.
I'm regularly intermittent fasting, a 6 to 8 hour eating window . I don't really eat less, but I am sometimes empty, and also digest everything before a new digestion task is added. If busy, there's 1 big meal. No grain, no sugar, no processed foods of any type. I've lost 30 lbs, reversed pre diabetic condition, and just feel better.
I somewhat agree..we can live on the right diet with one meal a day bit as lean muscle mass is strongly connected with longevity and fighting diseases..for most people you can't get sufficient protein, fats etc in one meal to sustain or build muscle..therefore two would be more optimal when we are focused on longevity aswell as health and if your strict carnivore or even animal based..you are getting all the benefits of fasting anyway as its fasting mimicking.
I've been doing OMAD for 2 1/2 years now and have no plans to ever go back. Although 'going back' for me would be 2 meals a day. Yes, I've gotten lots of push-back from moms (mine, my children's, and even a friend of ours - a mom of our kids' friend). Yes, they say I'm going to starve (I haven't) or it's unhealty (without evidence). My weight is stable and good (in a healthy range) - theirs not so much. Interestingly, that friend of ours asked me a couple years ago if I would go "go back to normal". I explained that I don't believe the Standard American Diet (SAD) is normal and it's causing the majority of people to be overweight & obese *And* it's made up! I recommend anyone to look into how we (humans) decided 3 meals a day was the 'norm' (it's more recent than you think) and further why so many people think snacking and constantly foraging on carbs is the way to go! Further, I love having constant energy throughout the day and getting all the time back instead of preparing, eating, and cleaning after the 2 meals I skip!
@@ronburgandy3339 this is the surprising thing I noticed when I first started fasting, which was 16/8 back then - 5 years ago. After researching, I found out it's best to work out at the end of your fast. But that means you've gone the longest without food. I was skeptical - but surprise, surprise my workouts were good. Since then I've actually gained strength every week. I didn't expect this - I thought I'd hit a plateau. The one thing that might help explain is the dramatic increase in HGH when fasting this long. Also I'm in my 50s!
I've been doing it for years. Even before keto. But somewhere along keto I was told the amount of meat to eat was one gram per pound of my weight. I should have recognized that I began to be super hungry, that's when the cheating started. Fast forward 2 years and I was so sick and wasted that I almost died. 8 months on carnivore I'm building my muscles back. More stamina. Absolutely confident that I'm eating correctly. Omad and bbb& eggs.
I've been mostly Carnivore for the past 4.5 years yes I have slipped up a bit now and then I had a cheat day 3 weeks ago and I just now getting over it I do OMAD when it comes naturally and today will be my 6th day doing OMAD and I hope to continue as long as I can get video
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
My adult daughter and I were on Keto together. I recently started Carnivore. She said that’s not sustainable. I feel so much better doing that. Since she’s the cook in our house, I sometimes eat veggies, but only at dinner. So I guess I’m not really carnivore. But it’s a whole lot better than eating rice and grains.She eats 2 meals a day. I eat at 8am ,2pm and 7pm only. No snacks.
I tried OMAD however I can’t eat that much at one time. Most days I do TMAD but there are also days when I eat three times a day. It just depends on my schedule and my time.
I'm doing twice a day, idealy in an 8 hour window, but I'm thinking about trying OMAD starting in january. I'm carnivore and I have to say my 2nd meal is more because I try to time myself, so not really because I'm hungry at that time. Or I may try to do a 4 hour window (something like a light meal1-2 hour before working out (weight lifting), then big last meal when I get back home from the gym).
I think women do better on two meals a day, within a 4 hour eating window. That still leaves 16 hours to rest the gut. I've found eating between 1pm and 5pm is best for me. I eat avocado, eggs, cheese, bacon at 1pm and steak - beef or lamb between 4 and 5pm.
I have been eating omad for a year and a half. my basal temperature is 35.5C what is a good way to reset it back up to 37C? For the last nine month I have been eating beef salt and water only targeting a 1:1 ratio of protein and fat. thanks.
I've been carnivore for almost one year. My worry with doing OMAD is that I will lose weight. I lost 30 pounds in the first two months of carnivore. My weight stabilized and I am now at 170pds and do not want to lose any additional weight.
I did OMAD for years. I lost way too much weight. I am underweight and anemic. I am fairly certain the lack of nutrients is at least part of the reason. I would love to know how to do OMAD safely.
To do OMAD safely without losing too much weight: 1. Eat nutrient-dense foods (protein, healthy fats, low-carb veggies). 2. Meet your calorie needs with high-fat, calorie-dense options like fatty meats, butter, and avocado. 3. Time your meal to suit your energy needs and digestion. 4. Stay hydrated and include electrolytes. 5. Strength train to maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and adjust as needed!
OMAD happens naturally as you tune in to your body and only eat when you are truly hungry. It is amazing how much energy I have eating OMAD and I'm hardly ever hungry. It's nothing to fast for 24 hours once you are consuming fat and protein in the proper proportions.
Been carnivore since 9/23, mostly OMAD since 12/23. In early 2024 I did some 3 day fasts and even a 5 day, then back to OMAD. I strayed a bit on vacation, nothing crazy though. Since 9/23 down about 90 pounds, overall down approx 200 pounds from my heaviest.
I've done omad since college despite what others said. Never really had a weight problem my entire life. Now that I'm menopause age I have packed on the pounds year after year. Tried restricting carbs but I just can't get it right because I'm always hungry and that's one thing I can't tolerate. I get headaches If I try to go beyond omad. Should I just be eating cardboard once a week at this point? Ive been really sad for past couple of years now as I can barely recognize myself. So finally, after gaining more weight this year despite barely eating, I've decided to try weight loss meds. Hope it helps me because I'm at a loss otherwise.
Perhaps the carnivore diet is worth considering. Just eat fatty meats & eggs for 30 days and see how your feel. Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Anthony Chaffee have all the information you need
I am currently eating two times per day. I eat a full dinner of meat, vegetables, and salad. And for breakfast I eat only meat, typically about half of the same meat I had for the previous dinner. I had been doing this because I take pills twice a day that I am supposed to take with food. Is this close enough?
I still feel hungry in the morning but my body dies not feel like i need to eat, like no crash. Been doing omad for about three months now. The hunger goes away tho.
I've had bypass surgery my calorie intake is about 500 to 600 perday I can't seem to eat more I eat beef eggs and bacon am I ok with this amount of food I'm 63 yrsvold blood workbis spot on except cholesterol.TIA
As iam trying carnivore trying 3 meals or 2 meals aday .but when tried 1 meal about 3 and 4 pm 2 o'clock my stomach is making belly music and shaking body. light headed then go to eat any thing ,so 2 meals aday I have to do..maybe one day I do 1meal ,informative thanks video
I focus on nutrient-dense, calorie-rich foods like fatty cuts of meat, eggs, butter, and small amounts of low-carb veggies. Adding fats like butter or tallow helps me easily meet my calorie needs in one meal. Some individuals can’t achieve that so I think you have to do the experiment and see how it goes
My eating window is limited to one hour between 7 pm and 8 pm because I find it difficult to resist food at the end of the day, and this approach has worked for me.
Many people have obsessive compulsive disorder with what is healthy. Omad is one of them. I really have not seen healthy people who think they eat healthy. 😮
I think one meal a day is perfectly suited for those whose lifestyle matches with this dietary pattern Is an experiment worth trying and should be continued only if it fits the individuals needs
Fasting can benefit people with Hashimoto’s by reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting gut healing. However, it’s essential to approach it carefully, as overly restrictive fasting can impact thyroid hormones and stress levels. Start with shorter fasts (12-14 hours) and focus on nutrient-dense foods during eating windows. Always listen to your body and consult a doctor if needed!
Thank you @@DrTonyHampton ! I'm doing OMAD plus a fasting day on fridays. But last friday I had eggs and butter for lunch to ease things up a little bit. Im feeling great but I think I might be overexercising a bit. Thing is I can't get rid of my visceral fat!
Hello my name is Jeffery and I am doing omad and I love it all my cravings have stopped now I can walk down the candy and chip setting of my store and look at it and it is not calling my name but I do buy it for my wife. When I started my omad everyone told me I'm crazy and I was going to be 60 pounds. I am healthy and I'm 170 pounds I was 300 pounds last year every morning And day I feel great I feel like I can fly I newer felt like this I'm 58 and I feel like I'm 17 years old. You will knot die people.

@@DrTonyHampton thank you!
When I was eating everything, I couldn't stop eating, I stuffed myself uncontrollably. Low to no carbohydrates has saved me, I am eating meat and eggs, salt and water, I love feeling hungry, steak and eggs once a day is blissful
I work with nurses who insist that I should eat multiple meals per day. And they are obese and diabetic too.
I think it’s important to expect better from the people who are giving advice
@@DrTonyHampton I very much agree!
What's funny is when you go carnivore and all your labs improve with weight loss and they're more concerned then when you ate more processed foods that were poisoning you.
@@mgr-v2z I am 70, an R.N. and still working. At the hospital I cannot tell you how many junk carbs nurses eat all day long. Trust me until 3 1/2 ears ago I was eating the same as them. If there was pizza, candy or donuts I was right with them. 😀
The only people who know i eat omad are my husband and our children - and they eat omad too! I make sure we all get our nutrients in. Im 100% strict carnivore, fatty meat eggs, and salt, the hub is about 90%, the children probably 75 to 80%. Everybody is happy and healthy 😊
What do you eat in a typical day (the amount) and what does your husband eat?
@dude861 I don't measure my food, I just cook it up and eat it. My meal may be any fatty red meat - thick steak or 2 thick homemade burger patties, or oxtails with the fat left on, or a joint of lamb - with 4 eggs minimum. And a side of chicken pieces with the skin and bone intact for extra protein. I season with salt to taste.
The rest of the family will eat the same meat i eat, but they will have a side of steamed basmati rice or some Italian pasta and that's it. No fruits or vegetables. - and i season everybody else's meat however they like it.
I drink sparkling water with a dash of acv on ice - 1 litre, and that's it. After I've finished eating and drinking, I dry fast until my next meal the next day around 4/5pm.
@@No_Frills_Carnivore Thank you!
I eat a LOT of meat & eggs! I stuff myself every day. But I only eat once a day. Have lost 200 lbs over 4 years. All lab work good. No meds. 67 years old.

Hi I’m a 71 year old lady been doing OMAD ketovore lifestyle for the past 18 months lost 30kilos to get down to my goal weight of 63 kilos, have no more body aches & pains, fantastic blood pressure, on NO medications at all, so now feeling absolutely fabulous! 🤩
Remember that you are not on a weight goal. You are going to settle in were you belong automatically. You will reshape your body by itself. If you have a sudden stop in fat loses eat more tallow and go 16-24 hour's with only water, butter, tallow Redmond salt. Satisfying and gets your body burning up fat
I’ve been OMAD for 2.5 years combined with Ketovore !!!Lost 20 kilos and never felt better.
What is the difference between carnivore and ketovore??
@ Ketovore is in between say around 90% carnivore.
@@johncosta929 And the other 10% basically veggies and spices?
And you seem not to have been killed by it!
@@mikedodge6849 far from it
Been pretty much carnivore (less than 10 total carbs/day) OMAD since Aug 1/23, have lost 80 pounds, gotten off all prescription medications, including asthma/allergies/chronic rhinitis, high blood pressure, and multiple daily pain medications for chronic lumbar pain. Pretty much zero exercise as have always been limited to about 2000 steps a day. Am nearly 64 years old and haven't felt this good in my entire life. Stumbled on the info by accident and went down the rabbit hole. What a wonderful adventure it has been. Have gone from size 18 to size 4 after being overweight my entire life as well. Aside from the weight loss aspect, I also discovered a lot of my allergies were caused by foods I was eating every day and didn't even realize they were making me sick.
Wow 👌
I'm a huge believer in OMAD/PROLONGED FASTING/LOW CARB!
YES, most people think I'm nuts whenever I talk about it, very sad...😢
They’d be crazy not to see the beautiful outcomes
Dr. Hampton, thank you so much for this information. I have found that I just listen to my body now. I'm almost a year and a half carnivore, strict carnivore. Since my body happens to be one of those that took to carnivore like hummingbirds take to sugar water, I immediately (3 or 4 months) lost 20% of my body weight and felt amazing. But here's the deal, I am now 97 lb and 5 ft 4 in, and at Christmas, I will be 69 years old. I have muscle like there's no tomorrow ...we all call it Maggie Arms because of Maggie the Rancher in Alberta. 😊 Like I said, I feel great but I don't want to OMAD because I'll lose too much weight. BUT, at the same time, if I'm not hungry, I don't eat.
* I think there are thin carnivores out there that need to hear this information as well. We can eat three meals a day and still feel good but the key is to listen to your body.
If you can and you have excess fat content, then by all means, OMAD and fasting are just miraculous choices...as you put it, TOOLS to better health.
Thank you again for being a Dr we can TRUST ❤
It sounds like we started our Carnivore journey around the same time and it is an amazing journey
Just loving the fact that I’m not hungry and I can choose to do one the other day or two a day depending on what my body tells me
You have arrived!! Good job ❤
I am 64 and my weight is 104 lb， height 5ft4in. I tried to donate blood at the red cross and was told I was not qualified (minimum weight for my hight is 110lb). I am on carnivore and I don't have a lot of "fuel storage" in my body. I think the extra fat in many people is an advantage in the context of fasting or when there's a shortage of food😂 I may still try omad and try growing muscles.
@NingyiDu I am totally in the same boat and even less weight than you but also older by a few years. The only two ways we have of adding weight is either
* eating carbohydrates to add fat, or
* resistance training (lifting heavy things) to add muscle.
So I'm just doing what I can to lift heavy things and do the stair machine at the gym for my legs and lifting weights for my arms. It's looking really good in the arm area, and I have strong legs, but I have loose extra skin now in both places. Dr. Berry says that it takes a few years because skin turns over every 3 months. So I guess I'm on the 2026 plan, and I'll be able to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts by THEN and look good 😁 LOL
@@angieobes9835 Thank you.. Yes, I figure if my frame is so small that I wear kids glasses, it pretty much indicates that I am what I am. Now, for the much needed extra skin loss. You'd think that since I went from 119 to 97 it wouldn't look like I have that much extra skin, but I guess adding age to that, doesn't help matters. Dr. Berry says your skin turns over every 3 months. So, I just have to wait it out. LOL Vitamin P again! uggghhh ;)
Dr. Hampton I love you. I really messed up over the Thanksgiving holiday even gained 3 pounds. And it’s tough to get back on. But I’m back. That’s all that matters. I’m 74 year-old on carnivore for six months. I’ve listened to you often. You are very informative and for me supportive. You and Dr. Berry or my go to also I watch the steak and butter girl. My mom and dad are going so they can’t be upset by what I’m doing, but I certainly do have plenty of people around me who are not supportive and saying the same things you were sayingit’s not healthy you can’t just eat me, but I can. You go, Dr. Tony.
I have done OMAD. Didn’t know if I could because of my diabetes however, I have also done three day fast. I was so surprised that I could do it.
I always tell my patients to give themselves grace over the holidays
OMAD is the number one thing that changed my health. I lost 35 lbs without any change to what I was eating. Now though I’m much more careful what I eat trying to eat as few carbohydrates as possible. I workout a lot and my energy level is fantastic. I’m 74 and don’t seem to be aging.
I’ve had several patients only change one thing, fasting, and literally didn’t change their diet, whichdie, which amazes me and had great results like you
@@thomasehrlich8623 me too
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet!
I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!”
I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank!
I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do!
I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 2 years and 3 month now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
*My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier!
*my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be.
*My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!)
Want to mention if you start to get any allergy symptoms further into carnivore you may have histamine intolerance. Happened to me if I ate smoked meats daily for months straight. Went back to baking my meats and all the symptoms went away! Look into histamine intolerance when starting carnivore to make sure you know symptoms and not to eat smoked aged meats daily like I did if you get symptoms. Eat smoked meats less often.
I do go outside daily for at least an hour a day during week and several hours on weekends if possible! I try to stay on consistent sleeping schedule of 6-8 hours of sleep and sleep like a bear!☺️
So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
Thank you so much for the detailed report!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thanks for such a long and amazing testimonial
And I love all of the influencers you mentioned and I’m so happy that Kerry is working on this wonderful documentary
I’ve been carnivore for 4 months. I just went down to 2 meals a day. I’m finally adjusted to that but I don’t think I could eat enough at one meal to get enough calories. Also, I’m hungry for my second meal. Eggs and bacon for breakfast and a steak for dinner. I’m 68, 110 lbs, feel great, lift weights, walk and do yoga daily.
Yes, us ladies tend to do better with two meals. 🙂
@@lf7065 Well, I'm not a lady, but I need two meals too. I workout a lot, so I'm just not able to eat enough in one meal to fit my needs.
@@dude861 😀
When I started carnivore I went from needing 3 meals per day to 2 and then to 1 meal per day. Happened organically…occasionally I’ll eat twice per day….but not often.
That carnivore diet changes us metabolically making fasting so much easier
I started carnivore October 2nd initially for 14 days, but after days gone by I felt less and less hungry until I now don’t even get hungry until after around noon, my biggest cut back is when I dropped the highly processed supermarket foods in January, started intermittent fasting around March 1st and started shopping for Whole Foods, so since January I’ve gone from 190+ to currently 140+ off 2BP meds, cholesterol meds, and never got a chance to start pre-diabetes meds because I drove my hba1c from 6.2 to 5.1 and have been maintaining it ever since….Lucky Me.
What does that mean? Shopping for whole foods ?,
@ Interesting…I can explain it to you in a ten page response, but, it would probably be easier for you to just google what is ‘Whole Foods" or "Whole Foods vs Manufactured Foods" or google "Whole Foods markets near me"…bottom line is, there is a huge difference…
Myself I’ve been omad for 29months, being a carnivore I basically just fell into IF and had no issues. Currently I’m 48hrs into this fast
At the age of 74 I love doing a lifestyle of OMAD…it works well for me and I feel much better overall. Thank you Dr Hampton for your wisdom and knowledge shared!!
Great video: very succinct and packed with important health information.
I've been Carnivore for a year, and OMAD works great for me.
I don't get hungry between meals, and have plenty of energy all day.
Supper is when I eat, so not much time to digest before bed - but it works well anyway.
Perhaps eating morning or noon would be better, but supper is more convenient for me.
Good luck to everyone! 🙂
I eat 2 meals a day sometimes 3 to get in enough food. Definitely agree that my hunger signals are absent.
Restoring hunger signals takes time and hopefully it will improve overtime in your case
Thank you for always keeping us informed 🙏🏾
I promise to continue to do just that
On OMAD I struggled providing myself with sufficient nutrition, I'm TWOMAD and that's perfect for me.
Excellent channel doc excited for more content!!
I have been doing carnivore for just over 100 days. Starting out carnivore it was natural to go 2mad. I have done several OMAD days. OMAD seems to be a natural progression as your body adapts to fat and protein intake. For me weekends are an easy OMAD time. This video may just be the push I need to go OMAD. Thanks Dr. Hampton for the great content you provide.
I'm a carnivore that usually eats OMAD in the morning. If I do have a second meal it's within a four hour window. It's so easy and I don't have to eat all day long! It's such a waste of time to eat multiple meals every day.
HI, thx for this info. It helps to support the lifestyle I've chosen for weight loss & better health. I'm 68 yrs old. I recently lost 60 lbs & have maintained for 6 mos so far using intermittent fasting/OMAD. I love the results & the flexibility it affords me. I'm a big foodie so nothing is off limits when I eat but I do consider nutrient requirements & how much/often I eat certain foods. I eat foods that I like. I discovered that I prefer 1 large meal to several small ones that never satisfied me. IF/OMAD give me the flexibility to occasionally not fast at all or to eat more during vacations or social activities. Then I return to the protocol. No more yo-yo dieting ! I can happily do this for the rest of my life.❤
Hi , thx for this new video, 43yo keto low carb hard gainers here I personally can't eat enough calories in one meal ,I always finish by losing to much weight 😬😬
I agree, eating enough calories for many of us is a little too challenging, but I have had many patients fine success with this approach
Yes, I do Omad most days and I always feel better when I do. I don't have a breakfast and my 1st meal is not until about 5pm. I've come to find that I can't eat as much food as I used to since consistently eating low carb.
Love that!
My wife and I been OMAD for 2 plus years. Not hungry till about 3 pm. Eat after 4. This will not work if you are not a fat adapted fat burner in ketosis. A sugar burner would be insane with hunger.
Same for me. I often don't break fast until about 4pm. Sometimes a little later. And I feel good. I've been omad for about a year. Before that, it was 1 to 2 meals a day - carnivore. 😊
I can do 2 meals a day - can’t eat enough protein and fat in one meal
I hear this often
You've simplified this brilliantly! I'll be sharing this video for sure, thank you Dr. Hampton.
I really appreciate that
Thank you for your input. I have just reached 10 months on carnivore diet. I do not eat omad all the time, but probably 1 or 2 times per week. I like to sneak in a 2 or 3 day fast every once in a while, seems to boost and renew my energy levels.
Take care.
Wonderful!
One meal a day? I have just four meals a WEEK! No kidding, I only eat at 1300 hrs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, every week. No food, whatsoever, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My régime is: High-(Animal)-Fat; Medium-Protein; Low-Carbohydrate; No-Sugar. I started this after I had watched a documentary on tribes living in the Amazon rain forest. One man was asked what he had eaten that day. He looked puzzled before replying, "Why on earth should I eat today - I ate yesterday?" He only ate fatty animal and fish products and they kept him fully nourished and sated for two days. I discovered this to be precisely the case when I followed suit and I have stuck with it ever since. I have lost much weight; gained muscle; am physically fitter and stronger; am mentally sharper (no more "brain fog"); and I sleep like a baby. At 73 years old I am in better physical and mental shape than I have been for half a century. I only wish I had discovered this fifty years ago.
I always hear people worried about “enough protein.” So how much do we REALLY need? Based on the usual recommendations it’s hard to get it all in one sitting.
Nice one Dr.Hampton. Totally agree. I eat 2 meals a day on Keto. It is so good that Doctors are starting to get people healthy instead of pushing pills.
I love OMAD but all do respect I am plant based with plenty of carbs and I NEVER have hunger pains. Just before my eating time I walk between 3-4 hours everyday and then have my food and never felt better. I am 60 and no medications, below average BP, and resting heart rate hit 39.
Disculpen por el idioma, soy una persona delgada...117 libras, 5'3 , he bajado mucho con cambios en mi alimentación no soy carnívoro estricto,si lo fuera creo que desaparecería. Todos debemos adecuar la dieta a nuestras necesidades. Felices fiestas a todos y también al Dr.❤❤❤
Thank you for your holiday wishes and the language issue is not an issue in my mind
I’ve been carnivore for 2 months I haven’t seen as many results as others. I don’t hurt constantly now and my B/P has come down. My CBG’s still in the high 90s. I’ve started OMAD a we’ll ago and now ready to start 25-48 hour fasts.
For me OMAD is a lifestyle that makes the most sense in all aspects. I've always felt like a trillion bucks eating OMAD and only messing around with some fun foods on holidays only. Eat for health and splurge very carefully.
💯
Dr. Hampton, any research on black coffee and how much it raises insulin? And if it black coffee in the morning technically knocks you out of the autophagy phase? Thank you for your videos! OMAD has helped me considerably drop some fat, but still gain strength in the gym.
After my cancer experience in 2020 I did OMAD next 3 years and I have never felt so great before in my whole life - not a lie. Today because of hard work I do 2 days a day - lunch salat with proteins, eggs etc. and a bigger meal at dinner, feeling just as great. Wish I knew all this before, as my own experiment I can just confirm it works if you want a fresh mind, brain and body.
I have been lowcarb since 2013. “Automatically” I ate less and less and am now OMAD. Feel great, no meds, .lots of energy, when on foreign country trips I feel free because I don’t have to look for food all day. One meal at the hotel will do. And I am 88…
How much protein is necessary when on a OMAD diet? And, how do you get those grams of protein in without feeling to full? Also, what time of day is best for OMAD?
I'm 59 and on a ketovore diet, mostly meat but some cheese and occasionally cottage cheese, yogurt, broccoli, and brussels sprouts. I plan to move to a full carnivore diet soon to see if I do better with blood sugar control and weight loss.
Switched to omad a year and a half ago and loving it. 😊
That's great!
Already doing OAMD and my body si responding very well. Thanks Dr. Hampton!
I'm regularly intermittent fasting, a 6 to 8 hour eating window . I don't really eat less, but I am sometimes empty, and also digest everything before a new digestion task is added. If busy, there's 1 big meal. No grain, no sugar, no processed foods of any type. I've lost 30 lbs, reversed pre diabetic condition, and just feel better.
I can eat one / meals per day. Low carb , minimal sugar. My mom wouldn't mind. You were her favorite doctor.
I somewhat agree..we can live on the right diet with one meal a day bit as lean muscle mass is strongly connected with longevity and fighting diseases..for most people you can't get sufficient protein, fats etc in one meal to sustain or build muscle..therefore two would be more optimal when we are focused on longevity aswell as health and if your strict carnivore or even animal based..you are getting all the benefits of fasting anyway as its fasting mimicking.
I've been doing OMAD for 2 1/2 years now and have no plans to ever go back. Although 'going back' for me would be 2 meals a day. Yes, I've gotten lots of push-back from moms (mine, my children's, and even a friend of ours - a mom of our kids' friend). Yes, they say I'm going to starve (I haven't) or it's unhealty (without evidence). My weight is stable and good (in a healthy range) - theirs not so much.
Interestingly, that friend of ours asked me a couple years ago if I would go "go back to normal". I explained that I don't believe the Standard American Diet (SAD) is normal and it's causing the majority of people to be overweight & obese *And* it's made up! I recommend anyone to look into how we (humans) decided 3 meals a day was the 'norm' (it's more recent than you think) and further why so many people think snacking and constantly foraging on carbs is the way to go!
Further, I love having constant energy throughout the day and getting all the time back instead of preparing, eating, and cleaning after the 2 meals I skip!
@@markd390 how are you’re workouts? Any strength loss that you have noticed by doing this?
@@ronburgandy3339 this is the surprising thing I noticed when I first started fasting, which was 16/8 back then - 5 years ago. After researching, I found out it's best to work out at the end of your fast. But that means you've gone the longest without food. I was skeptical - but surprise, surprise my workouts were good. Since then I've actually gained strength every week. I didn't expect this - I thought I'd hit a plateau. The one thing that might help explain is the dramatic increase in HGH when fasting this long. Also I'm in my 50s!
I've been doing it for years. Even before keto. But somewhere along keto I was told the amount of meat to eat was one gram per pound of my weight. I should have recognized that I began to be super hungry, that's when the cheating started. Fast forward 2 years and I was so sick and wasted that I almost died.
8 months on carnivore I'm building my muscles back. More stamina. Absolutely confident that I'm eating correctly. Omad and bbb& eggs.
Yes, yes and yes
I've been mostly Carnivore for the past 4.5 years yes I have slipped up a bit now and then I had a cheat day 3 weeks ago and I just now getting over it I do OMAD when it comes naturally and today will be my 6th day doing OMAD and I hope to continue as long as I can get video
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
You should be censored for that stupid ads campaign.
My adult daughter and I were on Keto together. I recently started Carnivore. She said that’s not sustainable. I feel so much better doing that. Since she’s the cook in our house, I sometimes eat veggies, but only at dinner. So I guess I’m not really carnivore. But it’s a whole lot better than eating rice and grains.She eats 2 meals a day. I eat at 8am ,2pm and 7pm only. No snacks.
I tried OMAD however I can’t eat that much at one time. Most days I do TMAD but there are also days when I eat three times a day. It just depends on my schedule and my time.
Same!
@ every time I try to eat one meal, I would just get the major burps like all day, all night, and I felt bloated and gross.
I'm doing twice a day, idealy in an 8 hour window, but I'm thinking about trying OMAD starting in january. I'm carnivore and I have to say my 2nd meal is more because I try to time myself, so not really because I'm hungry at that time. Or I may try to do a 4 hour window (something like a light meal1-2 hour before working out (weight lifting), then big last meal when I get back home from the gym).
I think women do better on two meals a day, within a 4 hour eating window. That still leaves 16 hours to rest the gut. I've found eating between 1pm and 5pm is best for me. I eat avocado, eggs, cheese, bacon at 1pm and steak - beef or lamb between 4 and 5pm.
Good video Dr. Hampton ☺️
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Dr. Hampton ♥️. Have a beautiful day 🙏🏼.
That's the plan
I hear that it’s unhealthy not only from family but providers I work with at the hospital I work at. So many people don’t understand!
Subscribed.
Welcome to my humble family
Thanks Dr. Tony.
I have been eating omad for a year and a half. my basal temperature is 35.5C what is a good way to reset it back up to 37C? For the last nine month I have been eating beef salt and water only targeting a 1:1 ratio of protein and fat. thanks.
Good morning! Two meals a day for me most days
Mine too!

Hello to my great friend that I barely know!
😊🥰
I do OMAD 5 times a week, and 18/6 2 times. Low carb. I lost 140 pounds. I’m full off energy.
Keep it up
I’ve been carnivore OMAD for a month, I love it…
I've been carnivore for almost one year. My worry with doing OMAD is that I will lose weight. I lost 30 pounds in the first two months of carnivore. My weight stabilized and I am now at 170pds and do not want to lose any additional weight.
I did OMAD for years. I lost way too much weight. I am underweight and anemic. I am fairly certain the lack of nutrients is at least part of the reason. I would love to know how to do OMAD safely.
To do OMAD safely without losing too much weight:
1. Eat nutrient-dense foods (protein, healthy fats, low-carb veggies).
2. Meet your calorie needs with high-fat, calorie-dense options like fatty meats, butter, and avocado.
3. Time your meal to suit your energy needs and digestion.
4. Stay hydrated and include electrolytes.
5. Strength train to maintain muscle mass.
Listen to your body and adjust as needed!
OMAD happens naturally as you tune in to your body and only eat when you are truly hungry. It is amazing how much energy I have eating OMAD and I'm hardly ever hungry. It's nothing to fast for 24 hours once you are consuming fat and protein in the proper proportions.
I practice OMAD close to carnivore as much as possible and I can confirm your contents.
Been carnivore since 9/23, mostly OMAD since 12/23. In early 2024 I did some 3 day fasts and even a 5 day, then back to OMAD. I strayed a bit on vacation, nothing crazy though. Since 9/23 down about 90 pounds, overall down approx 200 pounds from my heaviest.
Presently I do 2 meals a day , i'd like to try OMAD but my BMI is only 21.5.
I've done omad since college despite what others said. Never really had a weight problem my entire life. Now that I'm menopause age I have packed on the pounds year after year. Tried restricting carbs but I just can't get it right because I'm always hungry and that's one thing I can't tolerate. I get headaches If I try to go beyond omad. Should I just be eating cardboard once a week at this point? Ive been really sad for past couple of years now as I can barely recognize myself. So finally, after gaining more weight this year despite barely eating, I've decided to try weight loss meds. Hope it helps me because I'm at a loss otherwise.
What exactly are you eating?…meaning-whole foods or supermarket food?…there is a difference.
Perhaps the carnivore diet is worth considering. Just eat fatty meats & eggs for 30 days and see how your feel. Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Anthony Chaffee have all the information you need
I am on OMAD now for 5 days. So far, no changes.
I suggest hanging in there a little longer
The body takes time to change metabolically
I am currently eating two times per day. I eat a full dinner of meat, vegetables, and salad. And for breakfast I eat only meat, typically about half of the same meat I had for the previous dinner. I had been doing this because I take pills twice a day that I am supposed to take with food. Is this close enough?
Righteous Dr. # respect
I still feel hungry in the morning but my body dies not feel like i need to eat, like no crash. Been doing omad for about three months now. The hunger goes away tho.
💯
I've had bypass surgery my calorie intake is about 500 to 600 perday I can't seem to eat more I eat beef eggs and bacon am I ok with this amount of food I'm 63 yrsvold blood workbis spot on except cholesterol.TIA
As iam trying carnivore trying 3 meals or 2 meals aday .but when tried 1 meal about 3 and 4 pm 2 o'clock my stomach is making belly music and shaking body. light headed then go to eat any thing ,so 2 meals aday I have to do..maybe one day I do 1meal ,informative thanks video
I would like to try it😮
If you try it and you can get enough calories in during that one meal, it may be a great way to go
Tony you know the Nation Of Islam been preaching this for over 90 years
How do you get all the calories in 1 sitting if eating healthy food?
I focus on nutrient-dense, calorie-rich foods like fatty cuts of meat, eggs, butter, and small amounts of low-carb veggies. Adding fats like butter or tallow helps me easily meet my calorie needs in one meal.
Some individuals can’t achieve that so I think you have to do the experiment and see how it goes
Where does all the bile go that the liver produces?
I love OMAD. Around midday I usually get a huge energy rush.
The opposite of what happens to people after they have lunch 😉
@@DrTonyHamptonI never thought about that but you're absolutely correct!
I eat 2mad, breakfast and dinner, if I ate 0mad, will it help me break my weight loss plateau?
My lifr style!! OMAD. Strict CARNIVORE going into my 3rd year, metabolically healthy and loving it!!
🙌
I feel great in one meal a day.
Can't... Tried but I'm too active
My problem with omad is that I can't eat enough in one meal. So tmad is for me.
Anyone here tried OMAD, and eating before bed? If so, what’s the result on your a1c’s blood work?Or anyone suggest doing so?
Great question let’s see if anybody has any thoughts
Lost 50lbs and a1c went from 5.8 to 5.3.... I did OMAD and low carb (not everyday). Give it a try!!!!
My eating window is limited to one hour between 7 pm and 8 pm because I find it difficult to resist food at the end of the day, and this approach has worked for me.
Eating OMAD after 6pm was a struggle for me. I shifted back to 2pm or 3pm and now I'm sleeping well and fasting is a breeze!
Doing a 2mad..love it
💯
Make watching RUclips without pharmaceutical Ads normal again… Especially when the videos are about actual, factual health such as this one. 🖖🏽
I totally agree with that logic
Doing it and I love it
I do two meals a day
I tried one meal a day, but found that I couldn’t get enough food in during that feeding window so I typically also eat two meals a day
Many people have obsessive compulsive disorder with what is healthy. Omad is one of them. I really have not seen healthy people who think they eat healthy. 😮
I think one meal a day is perfectly suited for those whose lifestyle matches with this dietary pattern
Is an experiment worth trying and should be continued only if it fits the individuals needs
Seitan has as much protein as any animal product.
Coconut has as much fat as any animal product.
You can be satiated on the plant based and do OMAD .
@@julienfroidevaux1143 suboptimal, but possible
I've lost 4 lbs in 1 week with OMAD
Some of my patients do OMAD just to lose weight and then they go back up to two meals a day once they achieve their weight loss goals
Already doing It Not sure it works for hashimoto's
Fasting can benefit people with Hashimoto’s by reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting gut healing. However, it’s essential to approach it carefully, as overly restrictive fasting can impact thyroid hormones and stress levels. Start with shorter fasts (12-14 hours) and focus on nutrient-dense foods during eating windows. Always listen to your body and consult a doctor if needed!
Thank you @@DrTonyHampton ! I'm doing OMAD plus a fasting day on fridays. But last friday I had eggs and butter for lunch to ease things up a little bit. Im feeling great but I think I might be overexercising a bit. Thing is I can't get rid of my visceral fat!
2mad🤣 on Lion diet & Thank You for THE TRUTH ❤❤❤
You are so welcome
@DrTonyHampton ❤️
Hello my name is Jeffery and I am doing omad and I love it all my cravings have stopped now I can walk down the candy and chip setting of my store and look at it and it is not calling my name but I do buy it for my wife. When I started my omad everyone told me I'm crazy and I was going to be 60 pounds. I am healthy and I'm 170 pounds I was 300 pounds last year every morning And day I feel great I feel like I can fly I newer felt like this I'm 58 and I feel like I'm 17 years old. You will knot die people.
So are you suggesting that one meal a day will keep the doctor away or at least my mom 😅
When I eat meat/fat can not eat more than once a day
