I have been on OMAD for the last 10 years. This is how I reversed my Metabolic Syndrome and have been totally off from all medications for the past 8 years despite having a CABG.
What's wrong with cabbage?
How many hours of sleep do you get at night?
Fuck yea that’s so good to hear thank you for your feed back been doin Omad for about 4 weeks feeling awesome
I always say that everybody's body will function differently and honestly, OMAD has help my metabolism. Before OMAD, I always had a hard time but I'm glad I chose to do it this way. I used to binge eat too but now eating one meal a day, I already feel full and can keep on going the day without feeling hungry. It wasn't easy to get out of habit of overeating but now, I feel great.
Hey brother do You drink coffe throughout the day?
Not only I looked physically fit and felt better than when I was in my 20s, but it saved me $ buying food items. People even think I look half my actual age.
I find it easy and cheaper to eat really well when I’m only having one meal a day. Buy good whole foods, still much cheaper than 3 crap meals a day.
I've been mostly OMAD for 3 years now. My BMI is 22, I never got sick once since 2019, I'm 46 and my health is better now than in my 20s (I'm a blood donor, my blood gets tested 3 times a year). My energy level is consistent, no glycemic peaks therefore no cravings, no cravings therefore stable mood; I also noticed that my brain works faster; I believe that we awaken our hunter-gatherer instinct when we fast.
That’s what’s up
I’ve been doing omad for a few years too, my bmi is 22 too. feel great.
What's your OMAD 20:4 or 24: 1?
@@cambasasaki5220 I do either 24:1 or 16:8. I donate blood (10% of my blood) every 4 months; each time they test it. It confirmed that a prolonged 24:1 IF period raises HDL cholesterol significantly, that's why I only do that when I feel my gut needs rest. Just to prove the results: 2 people recently guessed I was 37, when I'm actually 47.
Things that have worked for me:
1. OMAD or only eating during a 4 hour period
2. Only drink water
3. No added sugars
4. No fast food
5. No gas station food
6. No snack foods (nuts and dried fruits instead)
I lost over 100 pounds doing OMAD for more than a year ! Your body adapts to it! I Feel great! The key is 1 very protein(meat) rich meal a day. If I cheat(eat more meals) now, I feel bloated and uncomfortable.
Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm trying OMAD to loose massive weight too.
Food makes me extremely sluggish. My mood is affected intensly by food. If I fast all day my mood is high, energy clean, even my periods and digestion are improved. That being said I do OMAD or 20:4. It's a great lifestyle.
Stop eating unhealthy foods and you won't get food coma.
Agreed, same.
low carb does not
Same! Well, except for the period thing, I was assigned Male at birth😂
I agree a lot! Feels amazing and clear minded.
The thing I love about OMAD. Is not only it helps me lose weight but it normalize my body problems and especially my overeating disorder. I don't think about food the same way i think about it when i used to eat 3 meals a day. I tend to overeat And this has been a problem to me. Ending up to a yoyo weightloss. For me Omad is really good.
I have an eating disorder too and I find OMAD really helps me to cut out the distraction and temptation but I also ensure I have about 2-3 days a week whereby I have 2-3 meals per day (but with more exercise on these days) to make the whole experience feels less restrictive and more enjoyable, so I won't give up as easily.
Agreed, for my body it’s everything or nothing, I do totally fine not eating anything but if I put one chip in my mouth I won’t be able to stay away from more
Exactly your genetic copy, same issue. I am finally free ! Thanks for sharing.
I like how you mention feeling different about food in general. I was the same with OMAD - it got to the point that I didn't even think about food and I had to set an alarm to remind myself to eat in the evenings.
Yeah you only think about food when your eating and worry if your getting enough even though you can't squeeze any more into your stomach.
OMAD diet was a miracle for me, it cured my acne and my gastritis problem, and I also lost 10 kilos in 2 months. now i drink a lot more water, i eat fruit with my food, things i didn't do before. Other benefits, I sleep better, I feel less stressed, and my depression problems have not returned. I feel very good.
It helped my PCOS hormonal issues such as acne and oily skin . I feel more confident now OMAD is a bit testimony of my life
I have gastriits too. what is included in your diet?
Do you have coffee?
How do you get all your nutrients in 1 meal?
Even when I eat one meal every other day, I still eat enough calories and protein, it let's me eat large filling meals with a variety of ingredients and I get all my micronutrients I need. I just eat dinner. My body got used to it, but if I eat earlier it makes me overeat and leaves me hungry and feeling bad. So I think it's a good long term sustainable diet
I think one always needs to be flexible, because our bodies are not static. Our health changes over time, so it stands to reason that our diet can/should change as well.
how do you know you eat the variety of MICROnutrients you need in one meal? Do you track your micronutrients and see if they equal what is required by your body based on the RDA standards? A lot of people don't even get their micronutrients and minerals eating 3 times a day because their diets aren't divers so in one meal you're getting all the nutrients your body needs? Hard to believe, but best of luck to you.
@@builtbeyondfailure4098 are you talking about absorption?
Maybe its difficult for the body to absorb all the nutrient in one meal yes.
@@builtbeyondfailure4098 just add mineral salt to your water
@@builtbeyondfailure4098 RDA? Seriously? The FDA is so full of shit the color brown is jealous. Those ass wipes couldn't find their way our of a wet paper bag.
Some great points doc , I do 20/4 daily fast 95% of the time , omad did not feel good for me eating so much food at once splitting it up over the 4 hours feels so much better , early eating does not agree with me tbh , it makes me sleepy , lazy and ravenous ,
2MAD seems to work the best for me. Eat in the morning between 8 - 10 am. Then eat again 4 - 6 pm. Is is 16:8 IF.
OMAD works for some people, especially those who gain weight easily and struggle to lose weight fast,some people lose weight with no struggle but others have a hard time and OMAD works great, so it depends not all diets fit one everyone is different
I'm on OMAD and keto, I feel and look amazing! I eat at 4pm. Today I had two ribbeye steaks, 1 avocado, 2 eggs and spinach, some macadamian nuts, and a coffee with heavy cream. Eveything I eat is grassfed and organic. I've never felt better. I also workout in a fasted state. Once I reach my goal weight I'll switch to 20/4 because I'm weight training and would like to bulk up muscle a bit more. So I think 20/4 would let me get in enough calories to build more muscle.
When I did OMAD, I was also on keto. That mental clarity is amazing, isn't it?!
I have never tried this but intermittent fasting for 16 hours works for me too! Thanks for sharing Dr. Chan!
Hey Jane, glad you found the information useful.
Disclaimer: Changed to OMAD for 3 years now. One meal at 5PM, generally eat anything, however I also reduce sugar intakes as much as possible.. mostly same-day cooked clean food.
1) Not eating enough calories (DISAGREE)
I strongly believe my body adapted, became more efficient. It's like saying a car that spends 22MPG should have same tank size as one spending 8MPG to manage the daily "roadtrip" of 10km. So, to make myself clear: If we both eat same apple (same calories intake), I will probably extract more calories from it , than you. Because we all know that there is not a 1:1 caloric transformation in our body, from the "internet calories table of foods" directly to our energy levels. It depends on the body to extract as much as possible. Think it as two kids, one that knows he gets only 1 meal / day .. and the other that gets 3 meals (or a meal whenever he wants). The first kid will surely eat the whole plate and lick it afterwards, while the 2nd one will leave some fries, some salad on the plate, cause he knows he will get food anytime he wants.
2) & 3) Not eating enough protein & nutrients (PARTIALLY AGREE)
It is harder to cover all the required protein and nutrients in only 1 meal, HOWEVER, the vast majority of the people do not cover it in 3 meals combined. It comes down to personal diet ethics. Here is what OMAD actually helps, by simply making you more conscious about food intake, during your OMAD training. Because it requires strong mind and self-consciousness for months in a row, before it becomes standard and casual for your body.
4). Heavy meals at suboptimal times (DISAGREE)
From personal experience, before ever doin OMAD, every time after lunch and dinner a serious fatigue/sleepiness would kick in (it would go away after 15-30min). After OMAD, I NEVER ONCE got sleepy after my meal. Even though I theoretically eat more once , than I did before during lunch and dinner. On the contrary .. I feel energized and muscle tonus skyrockets in the next immediate hours.
I think it is wrong to apply 3-meals standards to OMAD. We clearly don;t comprehend the full picture. What OMAD did for me was clearly improve my metabolism and digestion efficiency.
On top of that OMAD is what the name says. YOU DECIDE when that meal is. You can put it at breakfast, you can puit it at lunch, you can put it at dinner. (Obviously breakfast is the worst of choices, cause body needs to fully wakeup) For me it's ~5PM, because that's when I get home from work.
I have been on OMAD for 3 months, went cold turkey, start was difficult but when you get used to it it's fine.
I recently found your channel and subscribed. Your videos are so informative and exactly what I am looking for. Keep up the good work!
Hi Agnes, thanks for your encouraging words. Much appreciated. One of the reasons why I started this channel was because many of my patients and also people who attend my lifestyle habits change workshops often have many misconceptions about diet and chronic diseases, but it has not been easy so far, so I really appreciate people who make the effort to drop a note to give feedback, good or bad. Thanks!
It is manageable. I normally eat 4 eggs, 2 pork chops, a 20g protein nut bar, casein shake, beans, and lots of celery stalks
My question is if eating early in the day is better for you, why do I only feel good when I am fasted throughout the day and then eat dinner as my OMAD? My mental acuity is razor sharp in the mornings and afternoons with my current setup, but I've also tried eating just breakfast for OMAD and I always felt terrible until about lunch time, and by then most of the day is gone.
i really love fasting, it makes me feel good and i wnna lose weight so i think i’m gonna adapt tthis to my life
One meal a day is enough for u to live. Been doing for 3 years. A plateful of food as dinner is more than enough for u to last an 8 hour work and exercise the next day. I don’t count calories or macros or anything u said. I just eat til I’m very full.
No one has died doing Omad.
Thank you for your contribution in this domain of eating habits. I would love to see a discussion between yourself and Dr Jason Fung or Mindy Pelz. I think discussion of the positive and potential negative sides of these relatively new patterns are healthy.
Im no doctor, but i dusgree with all the points raised here based on my own
personal experience with OMAD.
2 yrs into OMAD. 20/4. I have type 2 diabetes. Helps a lot to reduce my reading. Plus weekly cycling. It became a habit. I dare not eat in the morning or noon else i will get sleepy and sluggish mentally so i only eat in the evening when all work is done and i can relax. By not eating i feel energetic.
Only drink black coffee, tea or mineral water. All without sugar.
Excellent information, Dr. Chan! 👍 Thank you!
Buddhists following Buddha's example have been practising this way of eating for thousands of years without a problem.
In Buddha time, Buddha and his disciples ate breakfast and lunch only. No dinner. No eat after noon. But if his disciples are sick, not feeling well, Buddha allow them to eat little for dinner until they become well.
@@ThuLe-eh1xe Indeed they would eat before noon and not always breakfast and lunch but maybe sometimes just the one meal as they still do today. My point is if Dr Chan is correct and OMAD is bad for health then surely we would have discovered that by now from thousands of years of Buddhist practice.
@@georgehope5477 In fairness the amount of Buddhists monks eating OMAD is a small fraction of Buddhist monastics world wide... even in Thailand and Myanmar where they are the most strict.
@agatha kinuthia Lord Buddha advocated the Middle Way. He was neither a skeleton or a glutton. Depictions of him as being fat are more rooted in the wealth of his Teachings than in his true, physical appearance. Please reconsider your slanted view of this.
I've settled to 2 hour window from 1 to 3, start with a lean protein, for me a chicken vegetable soup, big pot on the go for a daily start, then prepare the rest of meal which has whatever I'm in the mood for, followed by dessert and or fruit.
I don't feel deprived, or hungry, can eat SAD as long as my calories are around 1800. Also take all my vitamins, minerals at this time. 2 weeks in, down 4kg and I've also eaten my favourite treats. No deprivation, no forbidden food and because I allow myself to enjoy, I don't always have to eat it since I can have it the next day.
It's very freeing not to be on a perpetual diet with culinary restrictions and omad has been the answer.
If there is a luncheon or dinner arrangement, I can adjust accordingly, maybe feel a bit more hungry in the extended time frame but oh so worth it. Love love, love omad.
After dieting all my life, keto or low carb generally having been the main default eating style (love my carbs too much to go longer than a year) and losing and gaining the same weight plus adding extra, omad may become my way of life.
Oh by the way, I have a sedentary, walk the dog lifestyle, at an obese 66 years old, with wrecked thyroid and an inability to generally keep weight off.
Only 2 weeks in but so promising.
@@theraptureisnearbelieveinj448no, I'm doing an anti inflammatory mediterranean diet these days because my body was so stressed and painful, I could barely walk 200 metres. I'm finding that the seed oils compounded my inflammation so have to use only olive oil and animal fats.
My genome nutrition study and microbiome showed a list of food I should be eating genetically and what to avoid. I'm on a heap of powders and pills to get balance in my body so that it can lose weight properly. While I liked omad I'm now doing 3 meals a day with keto snacks if I want sweets. Fruit and vegetables are a joy and I actually have to up my protein according to the paperwork.
I'm happier, less stressed, less pain these days so something is kicking in. All up I've lost 11 kilos since April, some on omad, some on keto but now I'm feeling better with the Mediterranean. I'm thrilled to be able to finally understand my body even though those tests were expensive as is the naturapath who's advising me what supplements to take.
These are valuable insights for people thinking about it. I heard another doctor mention that there is the direct statement in several articles that people can 'eat anything they want' in the short time period allowed, but that is not correct. Most people do understand that they still need to eat healthy food. Some do not and it's a good reminder for them.
I'm not sure what's going on in singapore. But there are tons and tons of medical studies about people and food. And there are credible and informative studies on longevity based on fewer calories.
The meal timing does not matter. What about all the studies that show fasted cardio being beneficial?
OMAD will make you live longer plus the piraha amazonian tribe eat once a day or sometimes even once every two days and they are muscular strong men.
Indeed
It's very good information thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am 19 years old I did other types of intermittent fasting before I got great Benefits ,I wanna do omad for long term your comment really inspired me
Hello Doc, like your content, will you please feature holistic veggies to heal a fatty liver, non alcoholic one, ty
YESSSSSS
I'M LOVING OMAD!!!
FRIENDS WELCOME!
I've been eating omad for two months and I feel great. I do it because I want to lose weight. I've lost 3 kg, slow but steady, and I don't think I'll change anything until I reach my goal (2 kg left to lose). I don't know if I'll keep doing omad after I lose all the weight. On one hand I'm so happy about it, it's the best diet ever, but on the other hand I don't know how much more weight I'd lose if I keep eating like that. I think I'll eat twice a day in a 4 hours window, but we'll see.
Do you think it's possible that your body gets used to OMAD when you lose enough weight, and your body will keep the necessary weight you need? I know there are some people who do OMAD for years and one person who grew up with this diet because of poverty and they don't experience any adverse problems.
It can be really hard to lose weight in a society where high calorie food is everywhere. I found that one meal a day or even sometimes every two days curbs my appetite and cravings, so it's not as hard as it seems. And as long as my meals are healthy I feel good and lose weight.
You won't overeat or undereat if you eliminate the Carbs. The body is meant to run on Ketones Carbs are not a neccesarry macronutrient. Hi protein high fat meal the body will eat on instinct no calorie counting needed. Cook with olive oil and throw in a salad with avocado and oil. My sample meal a couple pieces of Salmon with sourkrout and a side salad with some avacado and for dessert some asparagus dipped in almond butter it's actually quite tasty. The sourkrout provides a ton of electrolytes vitamin c and fiber
There are countries who dont even have one meal a week why should i not do omad ....im grateful for omad
Doc - make a video on problems with eating 3 times or more day. ! If the whole world ate OMAD you would have no patients.
I agree. Thank you doctor.
Glad you found it useful. Blessings, Dr Chan
What if you plan three excellent, nutritious meals and then eat them all as one meal during a 2 - 4 hour eating window early in the day? Is that okay? Or will you still suffer the four potential problems?
What is normal?
Which is reference point?
Thousands of years men did not eat each day all day.
Now we eat almost on each 2-3 hrs and a lot of men suffers from diabetes.
It is different for women.
So we are different.
If someone is as skinny as you Dr Chan then Omad is probably a mad choice there is a Singapore saying “ do thing must agak agak” I am a body builder and a diabetic Omad suits me fine so far as it improves on my insulin sensitivity and keeps me ripped most of the year so yeah maybe not good for people who listens only and not try it out to see if it works perfectly fine
It would be more beneficial to everyone if Doctors talk more about the real problems of insulin resistance , have a nice dayDr Chan 👍
Hi. Can i ask, how much protein do you have in the meal?
@@nasa_fanboy4434 I eat lots of eggs throughout the day and during workouts because they are the best source of whey protein and rich in nutrients when eaten with the yolk as a whole so answering your question when you are eating your OMad Just make sure you have adequate amount of protein according to your body weight ... I think it’s 0ne Gram per pound of body weight , a little surplus I guess is ideal
OMAD is the reason why my backpain for years is gone in just days of OMAD.
If you could shed some light on the link between omad and gall stones that would be very helpful
The key for me has been triple size meals, and variety. So far I have felt totally fine after over 6 months of omad.
People who eat 3 meals a day eat 2-3 bowls of soup, I eat the whole pot.
I've been omad for many months & now at my meal time I get full so fast I eat very little
Hi doctor, thanks for your help, quick question, I want to do Omad for about 6 months to a year to lose about 40 pounds, what If I want to stop at some point and want to maintain that weight and start having a normal lifestyle with 3 meals a day ( watching calories )
Will Omad slow down my metabolism?
Hi Doc. a very insightful presentation. Could you kindly explain what do you mean by " long term OMAD" . If a person does 2 days per week OMAD and rest of the days 18/6 , is that ok. Thank you.
He says it in the description; "What are the potential pitfalls, possible problems of practicing OMAD long term, eating only one meal a day for months, years or beyond?"
How about the long term effects of eating 3 meals a day? No? Nothing problematic? Lol. What a joke
Also a protein deficiency in the developed world in unheard of. LITERALLY BS
i managed to complete the 16/8 and 18/6 IF, but really cannot stand for OMAD..
There is no one size fits all just saying
I respect your points of view but I 100 percent disagree with everything your saying ! If I eat OMAD I’m really just eating 2 meals between 4 pm and 9pm that’s my eating window so I’ll eat and 4 and eat throughout until 9 pm . I eat plenty get all of my nutrients then wait again till the next day and I can feel my brain and my body start to desire food again and be hungry ! I love it absolutely. 3 meals a day is a complete myth. Do not have to do 3 meals a day in my opinion! As humans we just start these ideas and stick to them like ideaologies just like religions! Yes eating 3 meals a day will make you feel good , but you don’t want to feel good all the time it’s just for your brain and body to let your self suffer through that “hunger” for 16-20 hours
Well it’s well known you shouldn’t break your fast by eating breakfast following the lengthy period of time sleeping at night..to continue fasting until at least noon. So no I don’t agree with eating a big meal for breakfast like a King for weight loss. Second by eating later in the afternoon or early eve you have greater time fasting to reap the benefits. If people are fasting they most certainly shouldn’t be eating processed food for their only meal , and likely would be eating plenty of micronutrients through whole foods. I have also read the body doesn’t need huge amounts of micronutrients daily if it is fat burning and using that for fuel. OMAD has worked for plenty of people to get them off medication, improved their blood work, helped them lose weight etc. so I really can’t agree with any part of this video.
You're wrong
@@JustMe-999a that's because you don't have dicipline
Listening to what the “Heath expert's” say, mistake #1. Follow Dr Jason Fung, and you will see results. He’s pretty much the expert in this discipline
Mistake #2, listening to your doctor. Having you in good health is not in their best interest.
@@chogg611 You can add Dr. Ken D Berry too. I personally do Carnivore with a little bit of Keto all of it OMAD of course.
Even if you are eating all three meals a day it does not mean you will meet all your dietary requirements for the day. I think OMAD is great and you can get all of your nutrients if you make a balance meal.
Hi Doctor Chan, I have started practicing 20:4. 1 full meal a day (this could be ceaser salad with grilled chicken breast with one egg/other wholesome food. and 3 meals Is to consume meal replacement shakes by Cambridge. Would that be sufficient for vitamins and nutrients?
For a cutting cycle of a couple months is fine. Then just do it on two days a week to maintain weight during bodybuilding
Not sure if it’s common or just coincidence. Back pain for years. Going to the gym helped a little. Chiropractors didn’t work. Started omad just out of convenience: Dropped my daughter off at school at 8:00 get her at 2:30, eat at around 3:00. Two or three weeks. Back pain gone after literally years of problems. Interesting. 🤷♂️
I own a cattle ranch and was hiring all the fence work done because basically I was handicapped. Now doing it myself.
omad is good if you lack of exercise. means you rely on it solely as counter measure. but if you are active and doing lifting/gym. IF16/8 is close as the best solution to cut.
i have practiced omad for half a week now. i cannot possibly eat enough in just 1 meal, i developed circulatory problems and i just feel terrible with no energy whatsoever. cannot recommend. 16/8 intermittend fasting works so much better for me
It's really good but you need to explain not what is it ideal?
*But why is it ideal*
I only eat in the evenings. My blood work is great, and 100 pounds gone for years…I eat grass fed, organic, gluten free etc. After 2-3 years of OMAD, I could eat another meal several times a week with no weight gain.
Secret of longetivity is hybrid Omad.
Morning Coffee (not the sachet ones)
Bananas for lunch.
Heavy Dinner
1kg beef or Pork
1kg Fish or Seafoods.
Atleast 6 eggs
Vegetables ( steamed or freshly seasoned like salads )
Doctors always underestimate human anatomy.
Long term damage? Problems?
That's just an excuse.
Omad is good for me . I was 80 kg now $65 . Feeling much better back pain is gone .
Dr Chan where is your Noble Prize? Dr Jason Fung has his ... btw I agree it is used for weight loss, and Dr Fung says this. He says to eat normally , sticking to healthy foods, not over eating at this one meal. Cronometer app helps immensely to meet all nutrition parameters.
I just plan on doing OMAD until I wish my goal. I know I can’t eat all my protein in one meal, that’s 182 g. But I’m really fat.
3years ive been omad and make me easily stomachache after eating and vertigo. Idk but make me dizzy more offen. I think i should take a break from omad
I cannot do OMAD because I have a heart condition; if I fast for too long then eat my heart rate skyrockets. So I fast at least 18 hours then I have beverages, soup, chicken broth, unsweetened apple sauce or Jello before and after dinner. Works for me, I’ve lost weight and feel amazing.
Despite the Potienal down falls of omad it’s gonna be better than being obese ?
Can I do (omad) diet with chronic pancreatitis?
1.) Body will long term adapt to your caloric intake, and reduce it if need be. It is a sad sad thing when a doctor giving advice on nutrition didn't do his homework of researching it out before talking the talk. That is why caloric reduction has a short term effect on weight loss.
2.) As a muscular man, I can testify that YOU can EAT and I do EAT more protein than I actually NEED to maintain my muscle mass, in just one meal, protein needs are not that big if your blood stream if saturated with GROWTH HORMONE because your insulin is low the whole day you didn't eat.
It is nothing special, some meat and few eggs cover it very well. In fact, all the excess is converted into glucose, so the purpose of overstuffing your self with protein is counter productive.
3.) If you are eating JUNK food ALL day long, you aren't getting any micro nutrients, but you do get a destroyed hormonal system with obesity as a result. Learning about what you eat is not exclusive OMAD problem. So, NO it's not a problem to get enough nutrients if you eat quality food.
4.) Eating big breakfast... and in general trying to comply with 3-5 meals a day ideology ALMOST KILLED ME. And it probably would, if I didn't stop it.
If you eat 3 times a day, your body will BURN FOOD, and not burn STORED RESERVES. When it burns it all, it'll just make you hungry to get more of it from you. You'll give it again, and lock yourself into ONE WAY metabolic disease where your body is never ever recycling anything, you can even be thin, but your body will be sick.
So, what do you suggest? I been doing omad for half a year and it worked then stopped now it's used for just maintaining.
@tanen benkavod. Hi. Appreciate your comment, i have recently become very interested in fasting and omad.
Im a gym junkie, can i ask, do you believe someone can gain strength and muscle doing omad?
@tanen you are right ... I follow omad with keto for past 3 yrs very comfortable... longterm will it effect BMR
1200 calorie a day you will be ok better than none at all. A lot food but low in calories whole foods plant based high fiber nutritionally dence meals big salad soups and smoothies plenty of water hold you over till the next day gastric sleeve surgery 1200 calories a day of course you don't have it in one meal but you got fuel and food you haven't used up yet we all carrying enough fat to last for days people live on air and don't eat for weeks praying and meditation it's not for everyone but there are people who live this life style who are healthy AF
your "enough" is reffered to 3 times daily eating which is supported by big pharma
The human body is so fragile like we are not suppose to live, thrive, or even exist
A 2 meal/day regimen with approximately 18-20 hours of fasting followed by once a week 36 to 48 hour fast seems to be the most logical dietary plan for both short and long term benifits for most people. Use critical thinking skills and common sense. Reject extremism.
That’s how I’m feeling right now because all I can think about is losing my hair lol. This Omad thing sounds good but I’m afraid of malnutrition
Just found this video. And i must say, i have to choose dinner. If i fast longer than 16 hours my first meal is recommended to be close to a bathroom. For a lot of times i must say. No warnings.there is no "oh just wait till i get home". Rarely i can push to 18hr with no side effect. So when i do omad, i rather eat at home cause of this. As i said, recurrent issue with fasting.
20/4 works for me👌🏽 and Im very active.
I disagree with this Doctor. He left out insulin resistance, and the danger of Diabetes.
For me one meal a day, only can be done properly in 2 hour to 4 hour eating window.
I do OMAD for 4 months now and last week I did a blood test so I can see if this way of eating is good for me. I've lost 5 kg and maybe I could lose a few more to reach ideal weight, but I feel great and don't want to change it. The only thing that is negative and I'm not sure if this is because of OMAD or something else, is that my cholesterol is a little to high which never was before. Is it something to do with fasting? Have someone the same experience with it?
Some doctors say LDL as been demonized. No such thibg as bad cholesterol. Yiu should be OK for as long as your Triglycerides level is normal.
@@victorjosertancinco8532 Thanks... My triglycerides dropped after 3 month of taking Red Yeast supplement to half, so I really think it's not a problem.
How about a multi vitamin with OMAD?
im only doing this due to my moms death last week i just don't have a apptite anymore
OMAD does not work for everyone for me I need at least 2-3 meals a day to not be hungry
If Jesus could fast 40 days & 40 nights...I can do OMAD. And I do.
77 years young.
OMAD is good for big eaters like me.. Lol..
Good day can i take multivitamin in omad
Absolutely.
I am doing omad 6 days per week for last three year
I like my breakfast, lunch and dinner to be like a KING. Supper would be like a Godzilla
doctor sorry to say this in regards to your conclusion in point #1, but doesnt science show that a slight chronic caloric deficit is what leads to longevity?
all ancient cultures have prescribed fasting for a good reason. there is so much science behind all of its benefits!
I did omad for 3 months straight but starting tomorrow I will do 16/8 I lost 30 pounds but now I'm starting to feel sick.
Sounds like a good idea... hope its working well for you.
Update? Hope you are doing well
You contradicted yourself at one major point. You said that a danger in eating once a day is a lack of calories and nutrients, and then you say that the best time for one meal a day is in the morning, which would put said person in an even further deficit.
TLDW: Not eating enough calories/nutrients.
Ive been doing for 2 years
100kgs to 80 kgs to 60 kgs
To probably 110 kgs. I have now hypertension. I wanted to do long term but I think omad will be good
3500 calories per lb of fat so I have over 200+ now
There are no problems with long term OMAD.
#1 most people dont even start omad right they just eat a chicken salad can call that their omad.you need to hit your daily requirements i take in 2000cals in my one omad meal.
#2 the body only needs 65g of protein a day and it shouldnt be that hard to get in one huge meal like a whole meat lovers pizza.you can add a protein shake to add more protein.
#3 with my one huge meal a day i always take a multi vitamin every day thats the whole point of multi vitamins to make up for those macronutrients you arnt getting.
#4 those studies are bs all they do is suggest no other evidence then that.the real question is do you want to be hungry during the day or during the night during the day you can keep busy with work to get through any hunger you feel its harder to go to sleep hungry imo.
i personally do omad long term eat my big 2000 calorie meal around 6pm and im not hungry at night at all before bed.id rather do things during the day to keep busy.
All these methods and fashionable diets change yearly have 3 small meals and healthy snacks a day drink your fluids have a day fasting once a month to shock your body yull all be fine over course of time.
I'm a big eater. I actually gained on omad
