- DISCLAMER: Please don't attempt fasting without checking with your physician. Especially if you have a medical history or a history of an eating disorder. Your health is more important then following a random girl on youtube ❤️ This video is based on my personal experience, fasting might not be a good fit for everyone.
I'm back to one meal a day fasting and it feels great! I'm hoping to adopt fasting as a lifestyle to curb my sugar addiction, binge eating, and reach a higher level of fitness. I'm taking it week by week and seeing where it goes. Thanks for joining me.

Keep vlogging we miss u
I hope you’re going to feel better/happier... you seemed really happy the first time you did it. You look great btw, but I understand wanting to be healthy/fit. You got this girl! 💚🐝
Thank you so much!!
Good timing, I’m starting a month of OMAD today
Me too!
Best of luck!
The Adventures of Rah thank you 😊
The Adventures of Rah thanks :)
How are you doing ?
You are not alone ..... I was struggling this morning with hour 37 and I found strength in your channel....thank you
You're so inpriring! I am getting back into fasting too, and I know what you mean about the habits and triggers! I find that when I get stressed or upset at work, I want to turn to food for comfort. Its so interesting how fasting really teaches you about hunger and your mental relationship with food.
What if you got a plain, unsweetened green tea from Starbucks? That way you could still have a "treat" but something that won't interrupt your fast?
Super excited to see your progress, congrats on getting back to it!
Yes, I love things that force me to take a step back and examine my mindless behavior. . and fasting has done just that. It really opened my eyes to my stress coping mechanisms and how to change them. I know it's going to be a long haul to unlearn these behaviors but I'm happy I now recognize them. The plain green tea from starbucks is a great idea, I'll have it as backup. :)
I've been doing OMAD since beginning of Aug 2020..i didnt do it for weight loss..more for spirituality..i lost 5kg and I'm feeling really great so this is my lifestyle now. I do have a small smoothie in the morning and maybe snack.on very minimal fruit or raw/roasted nuts in the evening if I really need it. Lunch is my main meal and I eat whatever and how much I want. I'm vegan and very health conscious so make sure I eat lots of fruit and veg etc..im eating less crap and even more healthier. I've cut out sugar too and maybe have a little treat on the weekend. We don't realise how much crap we can eat in just 7 days!
This is so awesome! I started it for weight loss but I loved all the other benefits that came with it so I'm sticking to it to see how it goes. I feel like my relationship with food has gotten so much better and it helps me cut out a lot on my emotional eating throughout the day. I'm mostly plant-based as well but I still have a long way to go to cut out the processed food and sugary foods I'm addicted too. I might adopt a longer eating window and add a smoothie or smaller meal in the future depending on how it all goes.
If you do IF after being in ketosis by following a healthy Keto diet you really aren’t hungry anymore during your fasting window. Doing IF while still being carb addicted seems like a set up for suffering, and failure. I’ve been fat adapted and doing OMAD for over 2 years and I’ve been constantly in ketosis the whole time. It’s feels great to not be addicted to sugar. Such a feeling of freedom. Making sure you get enough potassium and magnesium by taking electrolytes and sea salt as well as extra B vitamins helps get you through the transition phase. Good luck on your journey ❤️
Ahhh....this was perfect because I kind of got off my IF because of a bit of stress....not too badly but because I have a few kilos to lose I don't want to waste time and just get better at being consistent. So this was perfect because I felt I had someone doing it with me . You look fabulous and thanks for the support
I work in the medical field and it IS THE WORST for dieting or eating healthy in general! There is always crappy food laying around! I gained like 30 pounds when I started working in the medical field.
I've since lost 25, BUT....I know how you feel! Stay motivated and stay the course!
PS - I have the same cute water bottle!!!😀❤🧡💛
It truly is! Forget the freshman 15 . . . The healthcare 30 is reaalll. I’m working on losing that too and building good lasting eating habits. 💪
You’re inspiring! You can do it ❤️
Thank you so much!!
I've heard that we gain fat around our bellies because of high cortisol levels. So in order to lose belly fat we need to reduce stress. Meditate, take long walks while listening to music, sleep more and so on and so forth 🙂
Glad to see you found your way out of self destruction and are doing positive self care. I struggle with my weight too and I’m obese, and it’s hard sometimes emotionally. Your journey is inspiring especially when you’re practicing good habits like fasting. I hope you reach your desired goals.
Yes! Thank you! The emotional aspect is the hardest. . .I've come to realize how much I eat not because I'm hungry but because I'm sad or emotional. I'm hoping I improve my relationship with food.
Hi, been subscribed to you for awhile, love your personality 🤗 Want to leave a quick note for everyone practicing OMAD.
Thanks for sharing!!
Let's go!! I'm doing intermittent fasting with an 8 hour eating window and it has been challenging! I hope to eventually try OMAD
You got this! I think you are doing it right, start with 8 hours and see how it is before you progress to OMAD. That's how I did it as well.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I recently got back into IF and am considering OMAD. Your honest experience is really helpful!
Great job, I was doing two meal a day for about 2 month, and now I am doing one meal a day for just about a month. through this process, I lost 25 pounds. I do suggest eating healthy when you go into your feeding time, foods like, broccoli, kale, cauliflower and avocados with drizzle of olive oil and seas salt are amazing. Foods such as wild caught salmon, cods fish, Flounder and shrimp and great! strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry are amazing fruits to incorporate into your daily intake . Final suggestion, I would cut down as much carbs as possible for at least a month. :) GooooooD Luck!
That's awesome! Congrats 💪 My goal is to eat healthier but I'm taking it slowly
The Adventures of Rah , “Rome was not built in a day” you will be successful with no time ! You are very smart, talented and driven. All the best and can’t wait to see the updated video soon! :)
Cheers
Hello Rah. Great to see you back on OMAD. I hope all goes well. Keep up the good work and you will have more energy..!!!!!!!! Nice video & I am on OMAD & got started recently. This video gives me motivation. No more snacks for you sweet girl.....LOL
You both are so good. I've just recently started intermittent fasting (with a 8 hour eating window) and this has been challenging. I hope to one day be able to try this.
@@ItsShayWhite. It becomes easier after you cross the boundary of 2-3 weeks of fasting. The best tip is not to hang around food during your fast. I have lost 16 lbs in 2 months. Try to break your fast with a bone broth and then eat the big meal after 45 minutes. I am not craving for sugar anymore. Make sure to take some Multi vitamins too when you brake the fast. and Good luck and All the best to you...!!! keep on fasting...!!!
@@terryevp4084 Thank you so much for the tips!!
Thank you so much!!
6:06 From my personal experience, drinking coffee without sugar for a long term say a year has helped tremendously in cutting down my sugar intake to the point that I don’t crave them like I used to in the past…I only ate sugar in its natural form e.g. fruits, vegetables or rice (being Asian).
Now whenever I see sugar rich based food or drinks, I don’t feel tempting even though sometimes I want to but I could just pass…
im doing intermittent fast 3 or 4 days a week, 16h fasting per day, good for maintaining weigh, good sleeping and to avoid excessive amount of food.
So glad you made this, I’ve been doing Omad for about two months, but this last week has been a struggle..I feel like I have a friend to keep me motivated again :)
You got this! Some weeks are harder than others.
Yes yes yes YES rah! So excited for your journey. You are seriously like hanging out with a bestfriend 💖 you are motivating me to get it together and upload the videos I have recorded of my weight loss journey (I get so lazy to edit but I love filming 😭) . Can’t wait to see next week’s episode and sooo happy you’re taking us on this journey 🥰💖
Yes! Thank you!
Here is my favourite sweet treat: combine 1tsp:1tsp:1tsp honey, butter and pure unsweetened cocoa powder. When you crave chocolate, this is THE BEST. You just mix it in a small glass or on a plate, eat it with a spoon, lick it off of it and I swear it tastes like chocolate cake cream. It is very satisfying and not bad for you. Cause 1 teaspoon of honey is nothing compared to what we are used to consume. I've already lost 35 pounds in 5 months with no stress, enjoying my low carb high fat 2 meals a day diet. And this sweet treat helps really well. 😊👍
Love this!! Keep it up!!
Great job! Do it while you’re young. It’s sooooo much harder when you’re old😱
My mum is 62 and having great success with keto. Personally I couldn't make it work but many seem to
Sheeessss baccccckkk !!!
yesssss
The Adventures of Rah gotta make a Instagram for us to follow you :)
Sending love and positive vibes to you 🙂♥️✌️
Thank you 🙏🏻 ☺️ same to you ❤️
Your story could be mine. I am also back to fasting after cheating from March to End of July. With work and the pandemic I got free food(healthcare professional!) and never said no to anything, went back to bad eating ,stopped fasting and didn't even train those months. I deliberately put on weight from Dec to Feb bc I actually went underweight with OMAd..and was fine in FEb. But by March? I overshot my weight gain and everything was thrown out the window. I am one month back into my fasting and eating that got me to my flat abs originally but the weight loss is much slower this time. One month in and I only lost 5 lbs (about 2 years ago I had one month where I lost 10 lbs). but at least it's not a gain. So I march on and keep doing this. When i hit my goal I need to remember this part of my journey... and not ever let myself relapse again. soon I hope to share my own vid. I am embarrased and applaud your bravery. I look so different than my profile pic in just a few short months..so different. If I didn't fully grasp that sugar is poison, my visceral fat reminds me of the damage I did to myself. I hope soon to be brave like you are and post my own vid. Cannot wait to keep following you. BAck to work where I shall say no to the breakroom snacks!
Hey! It’s okay to have a setback ( god knows I’ve had plenty) it’s nothing to be embarrassed about because it’s all part of the process. Whenever I have a setback like that I just remind myself that I’m trying to unlearn habits and systems that are 20+ years in the making and that takes times. As for slow wright loss . . . I think slow and steady is the best. After I lost the initial 10 pounds I spent a year maintaining that loss to build up the habits. It’s true that I wanted to lose more and do workouts and get fitter and stronger but I felt that would all come in time (and I think it is). I believe a slow fitness journey leads to life long results. Just keep going! 💕
Ps. and those break room snacks are sooo dangerous lol 😩
Ps. I would love to see your video one day when you’re ready to post!
When we eats veggies and fruits together (in the same eating window) the fruit ferments in the digestion system because it digest faster than veggies, often resulting in bloating and discomfort.
I just want to clearify that I didnt mean you are bloated I mean the feeling of it!! 🤣
You got this.
That's great progress!!
thank you Stefani!
I love these vids. You have the same measurements as me (not height abd chest area tho) and this helps me alot doing omad
Yay, La communauté OMAD
Oui! 😁
Good
Today is my 6th day of omad 😆😆 really proud of myself.
Height=163cm current weight=55kg goal weight=47. I'm eating a healthy diet consisting of lots of veggies, protein from fish and chicken, almonds and fruits during my one meal. I usually eat at 3 and then fast until the next day at 3. Hoping to continue for a month 😆
That’s awesome 👏 you should be proud! It sounds like you’re are feeding your body the nutrition it needs! You got this 💪 💕
@@theadventuresofrah thanks, good luck to you and everyone. Stay safe 😆
I'm dabbling in paleo and finding very satisfying. I'm a chocoholic but only had some of it once or twice a month and dont crave the sugar anymore. Tonight at 6pm had a cup of bone broth with some ghee and started my fast at 7pm till tomorrow.
I'm a huge chocoholic too! One of my main reasons to fast now is to bump the sugar addiction 🙅🏻♀️ so this is hopeful 😍
Can you please tell us about the weight app to determine the BMI? I'm doing 16/8 fasting using ZERO app, leading to a month of OMAD and maybe another month to water fast. Eventually I'll go back to eating next year through intense Keto diet then low carb introducing complex carbs is my ultimate goal. The weight app will help my journey from 192lbs to hopefully 135-130lbs. I think women should build a community on this. 😊😊😊
This may sound weird but Gawd, I wish we were friends in real life. We could run around doing all types of Broad City shenanigans. Im looking forward to how your OMAD goes :) Love that chandelier.
That would be cool. Hahaha the first time I've heard of broad city was when I told my friend that I have a brilliant idea to put my nyc apt on airbnb and just camp out and the roof lol. And she said that's literally an episode of this show. . .same wavelength I guess.
Drinking lots of water is very important.
yes definitely! 🚰
IIIIIIII love u and this videos SOOOOO :) haha
aww thank you ❤️
How old are you? and how tall are you?
She is so damn cute!!!!
Good job. Some days im gonna do omad but most days i'll try a 4 hour window. Maybe and see how that goes.
Thats sounds like a good idea. . .see what works best for you ❤️
You should watch Dr. Berg's healthy keto, with OMAD.
What kind of podcasts do you listen to? Could you share them in a video?
What is the time you start to eat everyday , did u say 6pm and u just have 1 meal ? As I just watched your video and would like to try as I've struggled with diets all my life and I'm 15st
When you break your fast what is the time window that you allow yourself to eat? Sorry if you said it and I missed it!
I dont think I mentioned it lol I usually do 1.5- 2 hrs window. I think most people who do OMAD do one hour but I like to take my time with my meal 😁
OMAD day 391 for me.
oh wow thats impressive! How has it been?
@@theadventuresofrah I'm still very obese but down 40kg in one year (88lbs), starting weight was 450lbs. I make sure to eat enough (1500kcals+) during the meal and to reduce carbs as they make me hungry very soon after again. Drinking lots of soda stream water and black espresso during the days. Started biking 3 months ago mainly for mental reasons and just go get fitter, doesn't really increase weight loss. It's all about eating/dietary, less about training/sports. Recent blood work was awesome (best results I've ever had in the last 15 years) but we didn't check for nutrient deficits . That said besides all my positive experience I don't recommend it for non-very-obese people, it's really a brutal change and requires strict commitment. I would recommend 16:8 or 20:4 intermittent fasting as it's way easier to accomplish and to shed off some extra weight.
@@FuchsHorst Congratulations! What an awesome accomplishment! I think I will go back to 16:8 or 20:4 fasting once I reach my goals. I'm no longer overweight and I'm in healthy weigh and BMI range but I'm still working on getting rid of the habits that got me there.
I don't take my cards to work as the vending machines have contactless now and I will eat at least 5 chocolate bars. I'm not sure when I stopped having self control tbh.
So this is called calorie deficit. How many calories are you allowing yourself?
You’re so pretty and so lovely 😍
If you don’t mind me asking, what ethnicity are you?
What is your height?
when I'm bored and craving food I drop and do push ups.
haha I still can't do a proper push up . . .next challenge! lol
@@theadventuresofrah baby steps then 😅
@@benedictuduogu1060 lol exactly!
Hello... 💜
Hello 😊
Hello Rah I always love your blogs your acheiments anything random on here is always awesome xoxo pattyb714
Thank you so much!
Hi wonderfool Girl. I hope your mood is great and you're not a Failure anymore?
Im the same weight, can follow you? I hope to loss 35lbs was my goal. I love to do this. 😍😊
Yes of course! Just make sure you check its okay to fast and if you never fasted before I would start with a much longer window (like 18:6) before trying one meal a day. Just do your research and make sure your health comes first. 🥰
@@theadventuresofrah okay cool. I go slow I did start on Monday today not so much. But I try to ease into it.
Please do your own research if you're interested in the matter, but I've heard that OMAD can mess up the levels of kisspeptin which is ESSENTIAL for female reproduction.
Yess ABSOLUTELY! I urge everyone to do their own research and not just follow random RUclipsrs blindly. While I believe fasting to have many benefits. . .we don't have enough human studies for scientific evidence. There may also be many side effects we may not know about. I've seen the study on the kisspeptin levels. It was a mice study where they were fed every second day (so longer fast) for 12 weeks (10 years human time) and it disrupted their reproductive cycle. It's hard to say what this means for humans but it could possibly have the same effect on women. As for me . . .I'm keeping an eye on the research as well as tracking my vitals, keeping up with my bloodwork, tracking my menstrual cycle, as well as mood and energy levels ( I love data lol). If I notice a downward trend, I will stop with the OMAD and try a longer eating window.
@@theadventuresofrah I'm glad you are aware of this. Good luck with your wellness journey 😉💕
Maybe after doing one meal per day for a while your body gains more visceral fat as it thinks you have been in a famine. (Due to infequent and insufficient food). Therefore when food increases and you meet your daily requirements it will first go to your essential organs.
This is why it didnt work for you long term last time.
I know this is not what you want to hear but from an outside perspective. (Also I dont even think you should be aiming to lose weight. Why not aim for gaining health???
Hey Anna, I'm not in a "starvation mode" where I store fat because my body is in "famine". In fact there is a lot of evidence that that is a myth. Regardless, it has not been my experience. When I first did my OMAD challenge for 30 days over a year and a half ago I was in the overweight range with 5 inches more around my waist. Since I've lost that, I've maintained it by for this past year and a half by fasting OMAD 2-3 times a week and eating "regularly". . .until the pandemic hit and job stress and depression got me and I stopped fasting regularly. But even then I still maintained my loss from my first 30 day challenge and lessened my binge eating.
More importantly I meet my daily requirement daily because I eat everyday. (well I I try my best to 😅) My "meal" is not a small one, it's hearty and filling and I'm learning to make sure I get all my nutrition and calories in. I understand how it looks from an outside perspective so I appreciate the comment. I know this is not for everyone just like "just eat 3 healthy meals a day and excercise duhh" is not for me haha.
I AM aiming for health. I'm aiming for a healthy relationship with food and breaking my addictions. I'm aiming for eating for sustenance and to enjoy food instead of for emotional fulfillment and stress coping. I also think there is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight or wanting to gain weight. I love my body and I've learn to appreciate it for what it does for me.
Do not LISTEN TO THIS WOMAN. If you’ve notice all of her diets she FAILED and regained all her weight. EAT in moderations. Do NOT TRY these diets. TO lose weight the correct way reduce your calories intake. Only eating certain foods because a diet tells you to WILL NOT WORK. You WILL regain all your weight. I eat large meals that are healthier and lower calorie. I also eat Junk food but in moderations. Like I had yesterday 2 whole anabolic pizzas with a Swiss roll, veggie taco, chicken and veggie taco, 2 yogurts, a biscuit, a couple of mini marshmallows. And I’m still losing weight. I’ve lost 5lbs already. And I only ate like 1900 calories. BECAUSE I replace my foods with lower calorie ingredients. I’m 138lbs now. I’m not even working out rn because of finals. And I’m still losing weight.
