      Its so bad because the intestines get super gassed up from eating just once a day and it is difficult to be passed. This can cause many problems in the digestive system and even make you short of breath when the gassed up bowels compress the lungs

      I swear intermittent fasting or omad are amazing to learn to distinguish real hunger from anxiety/boredom hungry. I don't do IF anymore, but I did for a year and I can tell when I'm physically hungry, and when I just want to eat because im stresses and want to munch on something 😳🤣 that way is easier to caught myself!

Thank you for helping me with that! I’m two months in, have lost nearly 40lbs and will for sure be participating the 5K! I’m so excited to be doing this challenge. I will be cycling on my fat boy bike which I’ve had forever but finally started to use two months ago. I’ve been riding on average 2 miles a day, which is a miracle for me! I also ordered two shirts for the fundraiser, one that is one size smaller than I am now, and a second one that is 2 sizes smaller so I have a goal to work for! I can’t wait to get them. Sorry for the long post, but I am literally excited about life for the first time in a long time. Thank you for helping me get my A$$ in gear. Do you chick, always, because you are amazing!!

    I agree with OMAD was difficult for a person with a history of binge eating. I can't see myself eating my caloric intake in one meal without it stretching my stomach if I was only to eat healthy wholefoods. I tried it for a week. I wouldn't recommend if you're a binge eater as it can be triggering. I stopped as it triggered me. I went back to do 16:8.
    I hate eating in front of people too, for many reasons, but I won't say as they are not nice and I don't want to trigger anyone.

      Yes. It is disordered eating. Better to not mess with these things. You'll be better off eating good healthy and tasty food 3 times with fruit snacks and exercising everyday. Within a year you'll have a healthy sustainable body. If you keep trying things like this and diets you'll be dieting forever.

      Giny Grey it is not easy, that’s for sure. I had no motivation at all- and the same would happen to me, except I would never try hard enough to lose in the first place, I just kept gaining and gaining. I’ve worked in the food business all my life and that was a huge factor. I also am surrounded by amazing restaurants that I would order from frequently. Since covid, I’m not working and unable to go out to eat, so I think that’s what has helped me more than anything this time around.
      It’s hard. I’ve overeaten and have been overweight since i was 5. I was/ am definitely addicted to food. I love food and I LOVE to cook! my biggest issue was portion control. I started there, and it was tough. But you get used to it. Then I took it a step further and started eating healthier, more vegetables, grains, lean meats, etc, and that has transitioned into *mostly* vegan. I still will eat unhealthy things from time to time, but I try to stay within my calorie budget. Counting calories has made me realize the ungodly amount of food I was eating all the time, and now I’m full on half the caloric intake I used to eat. YOU CAN DO THIS!! “Don’t be afraid to start over. This time, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.” I believe in you !!

    I actually loved OMAD, and it worked really well for me, when I was working a warehouse job. I had a Keurig in my workspace, and there was no food around, so it was easy to just drink water and black coffee during the day. My one meal was in the evening when I had dinner with my spouse. This routine was a lot harder to keep up when I wasn't in the warehouse anymore, and my next job was in a natural foods store with a cafe in it. I could smell fresh food cooking all day, and I wasn't able to resist having a bite for lunch most days. So, the more you're able to separate yourself from food, the easier OMAD becomes.

    As an avid OMADER, I can’t imagine starting OMAD cold turkey, or starting from a full carb diet. To me you have to ease into it - low carb first, then IF 16:8, IF 18:6, IF 20:4, then OMAD. Once your solidly OMAD’ing like a pro, then you can reintroduce some carbs but not too much. This progression took weeks for me. Otherwise my blood sugar would be freaking the hell out.

I'm doing it currently but it took me almost a year of gradually changing and adjusting my eating habits from 16:8 to 18:6 and 20:4 to get to the point where I feel comfortable with such long periods of fast and dont suffer from side effects. A YEAR. And here she is doing it just like that, I could literally feel my body screaming 😭

    I've been doing OMAD for months since the quarantine started but I didn't even know it was some sort of diet. I never liked breakfast so I cut on that and with corona, since I did not exercice much, I was less hungry and substained on one meal a day. I like to have big meals and I have trouble stopping to eat so I feel like it's the perfect "diet" for me. I barely snack but it happens sometimes I just don't blame myself for it. I lost some weight but most importantly, I feel like it's the right way for me to control my food addiction. I recommend you to try it :)

      Last year I was doing omad and it helped me with my appetite. Back then I was subscribed to a 1200 kcal delivery service and I ate the meals they gave me in one sitting. I cancelled my subscription after a couple of months because I noticed I can barely finish all the food in my eating window, which means I was wasting money. By the time I quit omad I can only handle around 700-800 kcal per meal the most if it's not junk lol

      Stephanie Reibold that’s great! I have heard stories of it helping some women (especially if they have insulin resistance or PCOS). However, the research I did shows that for many women it can cause a whole host of hormonal problems, mainly due to GnRH pulses being disrupted. This can be as minor as a delayed period or as severe as early menopause. The reaction varies from person to person, but the negatives far outweighed the benefits for me since I want to try to have children in the next year. Another main issue is just not getting enough calories to meet at least your BMR (I thought I was doing well by eating under, but this damages the metabolism in the long-term). I would definitely consider going back on IF once I go through menopause.

    The eyes are the window to the soul, the stomach is the mirror of emotion. Your emotional mood can affect appetite, and your diet can affect your emotions. That's why when you are hungry you lean towards negative emotions, and how comfort food can brighten your spirits. If you are having severe cravings it could be possible deficiencies in your single meals, make sure you are supplementing and taking proper vitamins.

    This was so relateable!! When I started my weight loss journey, I learned the difference between "head hunger" and physical hunger. You are making so much progress! There is so much more to weight loss and dieting than the scale moving. It is a mental journey and you are hitting every single one of those mental obstacles! Overall this challenge I'd say was a huge success because of what it is teaching you.

    I used to overeat and it made me borderline obese for years. I finally decided to see if I knew the difference between really hungry and just really wanting to eat.
    I fasted and waited until my stomach would growl to see how long it would take before I got a real, definite signal from my body that I was hungry, and not an emotional one...
    It took 36 hours. (So many years of overeating I’m not surprised).
    Definitely important not to eat just because the family is, or just because it’s lunchtime, etc. when you know you’re an overeater.

    I've done OMAD several times, and it's my favorite. It allows me to indulge in foods I really love that I'd otherwise not be able to enjoy.It also allows me to stay focused on my job and other things during the day instead of thinking about what to cook. And it got rid of the mental fog during the early afternoon. But I can understand how it's not for everyone, and that's fine. You have to find what works for you.

    @AngelicaPickles1 4 года назад +14

    Ive been mostly OMAD for around 2 years now. I think it helps when you eat a high fat, low carb diet. I eat keto, so the high fat meals help keep me satiated longer and allow me to hit my macros. Don't think OMAD really works for any other way of eating. Like you would have to eat A LOT if you ATE low fat, high protein or high carb. And it's definitely beneficial for me as I only have to worry about one meal a day. Prior, I was a compulsive overeater, would eat all day, every day. Carbs would kickstart a binge. But by doing OMAD, I basically get to binge once a day. And that works for me. Definitely not food focused anymore. Now I am at the point where food is fuel. I eat it because I need to. Sometimes, if I'm feeling really lazy, I turn it into a 2-3 day fast.

    • @carlataylor9645
      @carlataylor9645 4 года назад +1

    @JennRighter 4 года назад +23

    It's weird I'm commenting before watching the video...I have gravitated toward one meal a day my entire life. Yes, I've tried to do all the things and everything, six small meals, three meals, intermittent fasting, etc. The main issue I always had and still do, is any time I EVER eat breakfast I feel like garbage. Which is a huge issue in the health/weight loss narrative.
    So, I am 40 years old as of 9/11. I was overweight or obese from a very young age until I was in my early twenties. I had dieted and tried all of the things since middle school.
    This is just me, and I am not recommending it to anyone, it is just my personal experience. I do the opposite of what anyone tells anyone to do, lol. I eat-you guessed it-one meal a day. And I eat it at night because it's always been the only time I'm hungry. IF for some reason, maybe hormonal or whatever, I get hungry, of course I'll eat. But it RARELY happens. Also, the meal I eat is very large and nutritionally complete and I eat it slowly and enjoy it. After everything I ever tried that was suggested, this is where my natural way of eating fell into place. I didn't even know there was an OMAD diet at all.

    ❤️ Fasting with OMAD! You get to eat all your calories in one sitting than planning it for entire day - as if eating is your only job! More power to you, Beatrice!

    Are you a mind reader? Cause I just started omad 3 days ago and only the other day I was thinking, “I wish beatrice would drop a video on omad rn.” Really needed this 🥺💙

    🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Oh boy...I could never eat OMAD 😩 Just doesn’t seem sustainable to me, but everyone is different. But I agree with you.... you don’t know what works for you unless you give things a try!
    Lol I’ve cut myself with knives so many times, I’m surprised I still have fingers 😁 And YES I was just thinking the same thing about having a job where I sit at a computer all day, and then afterwards i sit at a computer editing videos lol
    That’s great you lost almost 3 pounds in a week! 👍 Lol love the Eminem 😂

      Yeah, it’s definitely not for me either... I guess I could see it some days but on the regular was a bit difficult 💛🦕 Thank you Heather!💛

      I mostly did OMAD for a year in high school (March to November)
      I went from 80kg (170lb?) to 55kg (~120lb)

    I actually recovered from my binge-type eating disorder by eating whole foods, doing OMAD, and getting enough sleep every night. It helps me to know I can eat as much as I want in my OMAD and that keeps me from feeling deprived. And I also meal prep a week ahead of time though to remove the food-focus issue. I keep 'em all in the freezer and thaw my food out the night before.

    You can get some blue ray blocking glasses off of Amazon! I got mine for $30 or $40 a couple years ago when I started working in an office and my eyes never hurt anymore. I wear them when I work on the computer, watch TV, and I have a blue light filter on my phone as an option for Android. Just a tip!

    Always waiting for your next video! Love them all. I'm on day 4 of my own 90 day workout challenge (30 minutes a day) I'm currently 223! When I started I was 226. I also started clean eating. You inspired me to do this! 😁
