- Get the Highest Quality Electrolyte euvexia.com . What To Eat On One Meal A Day Diet (OMAD) (Fasting Diet). Eating one meal a day is a form of intermittent fasting where one eats in about a one hour time frame. A lot of people are fasting and eating one meal a day, and it has become very popular for many reasons. Making healthy choices around nutrition while following the one meal a day diet is not hard if you go about it correctly. Dr Ekberg explains just how to get the most out of OMAD without side effect or suffering.
What you eat on one meal a day is important. While it can help people lose weight it is not good to eat junk food or processed food. You will learn how to do OMAD while eating in a healthy manner from this video because being thin does not mean someone is healthy.
When wondering what to eat on one meal a day you will find it easier to do it gradually and incorporate more fats like in a Keto diet.
Make sure you also take in enough calories with one meal a day. OMAD, or any fasting, can crash your metabolism if your not getting enough calories.

I'm down to eating one meal a day. I feel better than ever and my strength in the gym is at my Max potential. I was bulked out a couple of months back at 196 lbs, now I'm down to 180 with the same strength and a much better basketball game.
@@TrulyExeceptionalSales Awesome
@Whats the frequency Kenneth Find your grove. If 1-hour is too short then do longer.
@@drekberg Do you advise intermittent fasting for a normal healthy lean person aged 65 years to stay healthy?
Hi Dr👍I really love your video. Well done and love thé way you speak. Please tell me how To know that we have insuline résistance? And what is it?
Been eating OMAD keto for two months now. Am in ketosis constantly. Only drink salted water during fasting. All my health problems have gone. No more pain. Dropped 18 kilos so far and had my first training session at the gym today. Feeling like a new man. I am 51. Oh yeh I also quit smokes and alcohol was a heavy user of both.
Dan, that is AWESOME 👏 You Got The Power, the will power that is! Keep moving Forward! Never go back!
Well done...
How did you quit smoking?
@@elsjelacle2153 i suggest cutting down over 10 days, every day less. Then at 10 days, zero!
Amazing. Nice Motivation vor me thank U 👍🙂
I am an 80 yr old man and follow a keto diet and OMAD . I eat at 11am a low carb meal of meat with a large salald. I work out with 8 lb dumbbells and streching ect. For 30 min. And then walk 4.5 miles. I have improved my arthritis and feel good. Love your videos.
WOWOWOWOWO! Richard...YOU ROCK! Would LOVE to know how you are doing now?
Update
I'm 60, this sounds ideal for me. I've got 86 pounds to lose.
To me the best is the fact that once I'm done for the day I don't think abt food for 23 hrs. Before food was ALWAYS on my mind, couldn't stop thinking about it. Plus fewer dishes, of course and more time for myself😊
hey
Omading for 6 weeks now, down 16 pounds. Feel great, I think I found my lifestyle, I don't feel hungry, and I allow myself a non keto meal once a week. I love fasting! Thanks Dr. 🙏
Congratulations Ana Tavares. Thank you letting me know and inspiring others to do the same.
Me too except that I am still fat ;)
Congrats👏🏽 keep it up
God bless you
Aref Karimi keep going, you’ll get there 😊
Aref Karimi even if it’s a slow process
It is the sure thing
Believe me
Best of luck
I have been eating OMAD (one meal a day) for awhile and love it. I am saving money and have found out I can tell when I am truly hungry and not just eating because I am bored.
Factz...
Totally agree Susan. I've been doing it for YEARS and so has my Mother. I'm 64 and she's 97. Neither of us is on any medication of any kind or overweight. It's normal for us.
Susan Brownell That is so awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing
Most of time we confused thirsty with hunger bucause is the same feeling and we dont know that because we think that being thirsty is only when u feel dry but is not like that....like when we wake up in the morning u feel hungry but u drink water and hunger feeling goes away ..thats when u know ur body wanted water and not food...excuse my english
And what about your gall bladder, is it ok? I just heared that it start getting stones because of stagnation of biles if person is eating rare.
I have been doing keto for years, then I naturally started eating less as I got fat adapted. I have been doing OMAD for the last 8 months and it’s great I don’t have to worry about packing food for work or worry about looking for quality food while I’m out. Also if it comes to a social family event I just switch my eating window it’s so easy to do and I’m saving so much money which enables me to buy better quality food.
@Sheila Evans I am trying this as well. When do you eat? Time?
LordStanley I always eat at around 4pm on a Work day as I have been up since 5 am so go to bed early . On my days off work if my friends want lunch or I’m going out with family I eat at any time of the day but just once . Life is for living I don’t want to miss out on family time x
@@celine401 Thanks Sheila. We have very similar schedules. So, I assume you do not eat at work, but when you get home from work. My starts around 445. Thanks again.
LordStanley no I never eat at work! I have a very active job and I feel more energised on an empty stomach. I use my crock pot a lot of the time and usually have a meal waiting for me when I get in.
@@celine401 That is great. I did that this past week at work. Felt odd. But, I will start it as well and just adjust the window when need be. Great correspondinf with you. Thanks again.
I first watched this video on 7/1/21 and decided to try OMAD for weight loss and insulin resistance. I haven't been completely strict but tried to be diligent. I'm 60 and started at 205, and today (8/30/21) I hit my goal of 170, which is my 25 BMI weight! Thanks Dr. Sten!
Hello, did you eat anything you want? or did you still watch out for carb
@@hafizmuizz7269 I tried to stay away from sugary things, but I still mostly ate what I wanted. I think the important thing is to only eat that one meal per day.
@@dchristiansen1 Congrats, I started 3 weeks ago and feel so good!
I'm 48 and lost 70 pounds on OMAD in 8 months. Now at 18 months I am in constant ketosis and autophagy during the day when most active. Congrats on the loss!
Do you omad everyday?
20 years, 61 years old;
As healthy as I can ever imagine!
The only way to Go!!
I work out 7 days a week and feel amazing!
Gluten free and dairy free.
God bless you for your encouraging words. I am ready to embark on this keto, IF regiment starting 9/1/2021. Have some fears, especially around giving up alcohol which I am definitely addicted to but posts such as yours arm me with courage! 😃
I admire how you discipline a healthy lifestyle, I'm 59 yo now soon turned 60, praying to the Lord to pass the test of 1 meal a day. Thanks sharing your experience. Watching from zamboanga Philippines
How do you manage dairy free and sustain the fat required to replace carbs in keto? I eat a ton of dairy but I'm starting to think I need to cut right back
Jack Lalanne had a dairy free diet. He ate raw vegetables, raw fruits, oatmeal, whole grains, soy-milk, brown rice, eggs, fish, only healthy foods NO ADDED SUGAR...he also worked out 7 days a week. You are doing the right thing for your body. The fact that you regularly workout everyday is fantastic. It is really something everybody should do. Exercise 6 or 7 days a week as best as you can. People will be happier and healthier. Your body will look and feel like it should, looking and feeling as best as possible. We should all be doing this.
A friend I know does OMAD Monday to Friday and then on Sat and Sun has a larger eating window such as 18 hr fast 6 hour eating window. I think this may help people who may want to have a bit more flexibility on the weekend.
I have a friend that does this as well. But I do better with OMAD everyday when I went off track on weekends it was like torture trying to get back on the wagon on Monday LOL 😂
@@jessie9653 I FIND THAT TOO. I DO BETTER WITH CONSISTENCY.
Sylvia King I do it too...exactly, it allows you to have a social life...and not be the weird person who never eats.
It is called cyclic keto
@@jinkhazama9168 No it isn't, you just made that up.
Been on OMAD for a week and a half now. I’ve lost 12 pounds. OMAD works.
You finish your OMAD in how much time? What do u do when u r hungry later?
Congratulations!!!
What did you eat
wow that's awesome! I'm finishing up day 2 so I hope I can have that level of success...it will keep me motivated.
@@SomewhereInIndiana1816 How are you doing now? We are just about weeks in OMAD diet and have lost 12lbs and feel great.
I grew up on Twinkies and fast food in the 60s; On my own, late teens, SF, I lived on LSD, Wonder Bread, margarine and grape jelly sandwiches and occasional dandelions picked out of peoples' yards. In my 30s after college, with a bit of an income, I started exploring cooking and enjoyed a bunch of high carb Mexican food in the 80s. Yummy! Then came the yoyo dieting through the 90s to 2015. But I didn't really know about any of THIS until I was 65. I had a lot of advanced Biochemistry classes but nobody at Temple Medical School had real nutrition classes back in those days. It's a miracle that at 70 I'm still alive!
My biggest fear is Diabetes type III (dementia.) My poor mom, after a lifetime on the Standard American Diet (SAD), lost her last 30 years to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, full-blown dementia, always on statins and blood pressure meds and experimental Alzheimer drugs, dying finally at age 74 of a AAA, after 10 years of forgetfulness. I just hope it's not too late for me. So far...6 months now, 40 pounds lighter (20 to go), so good. Fingers crossed and coming alive again slowly but surely. I only wished I had known all this at age 30! I could have saved my mother's life!
You could always ask God to cease those worries of yours, and help you retain a good rest of your life, just a suggestion.
I believe you have longevity genes from your ma with this current lifestyle change, you will be fine
@@Justin.Martyr no
Look up befothiamine a patented form of thiamine that prevents diabetes type 3. Look up the studies.
Lions mane mushrooms and rosemary supplements along with your lifestyle change will protect you.
My teeth get a rest too (all 7 of them).
Seven???
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
The best eating protocol. I eat one meal but stop immediately when I get a feeling of fullness. So less than an hour of eating. Saves so much money.
Less than an hour?!! How would any meal take an hour to eat. It would have to be an awfully large plate to hold enough food for me to take an hour to eat.
If you don’t eat all day your stomach shrinks, it does take me nearly an hour to eat my plate of thai green curry with veg and salmon. Average size bowl. In addition Proteins feel extremely filling and have a rich texture and you perceive the food differently through your tastebuds. Hope that helps explain it. It is real:-)
@@joeshmoe7967 My 1 meal is 1lb of 85/15 beef .. 6 eggs .. bag of steamed vegetables .. fruit smoothie ( avocado, berries, whole milk, full fat yogurt ) .. it takes me 1.5hrs
OMAD breakfast. Eggs, steak, liver, etc
Cup of Bone broth around noon.
Bulletproof coffee in the evening.
No grains, breads, pastas.
Down 70 pounds...230 to 160.
Damn wow congrats. Mine is a 75 calorie energy drink at noon, omad @ 8 pm with no sweets or junk food. 10th day went from 195 to 184
Wow! Congratulations Frankie Fernandez
Frankie Fernandez congrats
How long it take u to lose 70lbs bro?
How many calories?
I have been doing intermittent fasting 18-6 with low carb high fat diet for more than a year. From last two months, I do 2 OMAD in a week. I had a lot of benefits like
1. Reversal of diabetes completely
2. Latest Homa IR is 1.3
3. HbA1C 5.0
4. Lost 8 kg in weight
5. Reduced my BP meds to half
6. Feel full of energy throughout the day
7. No sugar cravings and hunger
Credit goes to Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Ekberg both.
Eric Berg and Ekberg are twins. They were separated at birth.
👍 how many calories on average? when eating one meal a day, i almost never reach 1000 calories / keto style and find it hard to lose weight 😢
You are an inspiration Dr Ekberg !! I have been on OMAD for 2 months. Lost 15 lbs and more importantly 4 inches on my stomach. This is now a lifestyle change.
I have been off insulin for 65 days after five years of daily insulin. I use blood testing for ketosis and blood sugar twice a day. I have lost 70 lbs in the last three months. I water fasted first for 40 days sand lost 57 pounds, starting at 287 pounds. Using OMAD I stayed the same weight for 16 days before heading lower in weight. Today I am 130 in blood sugar and 2.1 in ketosis through blood meter testing. My weight goal is 192 and today I am around 215 lbs. I am never hungry like I have been in the past, I have had no blood sugar crash for 3 months, and my energy levels are high. My fat bombs and bulletproof coffee makes it easy to navigate my fasting days, omad days and 4 hour window eating days. I have never been more confident in my nutritional lifestyle…. Thank you!
Wow..happy for you
Yeah you!!!
Thank you so much I loose weight 50 lbs in 100 days fr 215 to 165 but now almost 120 days fr 215 to 155 almost 60 lbs .by doing 2meal a day 2 months then 1meal a day for 2 months.finally after 25 yrs of being overweight.
I started out in Keto but my body naturally wanted OMAD and I’m not complaining. Lost 15kg in 11weeks! ❤️
That happened was trying keto but O switch to one mean a day...
If I am type 1 diabetic can I eat only one a day and when I have to take my insulin.
@@sahlualmedom905 I would consult with my doctor.I am type 2 .
Hey i was wondering how it is goign now? how much weight have you lost? and is it recommended?
@@farhadjawhar4055 hey i actually lost 16kg in 3months. Im now out of keto and omad since im doing resistance training. I gained around 8kg back but mostly muscle and after i lost all 16kg i wasn’t feeling very good because i was too thin.
I’ve been overweight pretty much my whole life. I have numerous health issues that come with it as well. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you would take the time to share this information. It is literally worth it’s weight in GOLD to me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
tru dat!
Have you given it a try?
It has taken me 7 months to lose 82 pounds of body weight and I'm still settled on two meals per day 18:6
However, I have occasionally pushed this to 20:4 and on the three or four occasions where my weight-loss has 'got stuck', I've jolted it by doing one meal for that one day.
I now feel completely in control. My weight is exactly where it was forty years ago and it feels like I have a switch that allows me to turn it up or down whenever I please.
This is breakthrough stuff!
Hello! Could you tell me what did you eat and if you did any exercise?
@@satanshamamotra1652 Hi, the only exercise I did/do is 30 minutes walking every day.
I can only give you an example of what I eat. For breakfast, I'll have a two egg omelette with melted cheese on top. I also have 6 rashers of bacon with that. It's very filling.
Sometimes I'll make my own Keto muffins using almond flour, egg and melted butter. Once again, I melt cheese on top of these.
For dinner, I'll have a flatbread - which I male myself from coconut and almond flour, with 'meat' and broccoli or sprouts.
All of the recipes were derived from TH-cam videos.
I only eat two meals and have done since August 2020. When I was eating three meals, I would normally do something of a snack, involving cheese, avocado and or bacon. Oh, peanut butter too.
Basically, I kept the fat high, so that I never got hungry - I never do get hungry to this day.
Hope this helps.
Update - as my original comment was from three months ago - my weight has now dropped from 313 pounds to 208 pounds, so 105 pounds drop in ten months.
I am thankful.
@@RobCLynch thank you so much, also when did you start noticing a difference?
@@satanshamamotra1652 After about two weeks, I hadn't lost any weight, but I felt that my clothes were more loose and my skin felt like it was tightening to my body.
After about 3 or 4 weeks of fasting, the weight started falling fast.
Hey Doc! I did my first week of Intermittent Fasting with One meal a day and I lost 9 lbs in ONE week. I have been doing Keto for the last 6 weeks and I started eating twice a day and gradually once a day! Wow! This is amazing! And no bloating no PMS no inflammation. Amazing!!!!
I just started about a month ago. I have multiple serious health problems. I feel I've been given another chance at life. I signed up for exercises and it is going great. This has to be the best kept secret on this planet. Thanks!
💯
4 hours eating window for 11 months now, seems to be my happy medium for healthy morphology + energy levels throughout the day.
Thanks Doc, i did my first 24 hr fast yesterday. Thought i would die of hunger to find out it was really easy.
Once you get adjusted 24hrs is a breeze .. I do 20-22hrs every day
@@mrbrianhendricks2486 24 hours is a breeze for me, although i dont exercise, and i didnt go through the stage of cutting time windows, just went straight to 24hrs fast. im a 22 yr old 360lbs guy
I started the Atkins about 3 weeks ago. Although I lose a lot of weight so far from 206 to 189. I was feeling too full. So on my own I started fasting and eat just one meal a day. Which made me feel better and more energetic.
That is usually what happens
@@drekberg please can u give me omad list of items to be taken I am 66 years of age from India
This is my 5th day of OMAD. Ketosis kicked in last night and I was up whizzing 5 times in 7 hours. I lost 4 lbs from all the whizzing. So far I am not really hungry until mealtime arrives. Thank you for all you do.
Still in OMAD to this day?
What is whizzing
@@sallyhun3024 taking a wee 🤣
Omad is tough to sustain, two meals a day is my sweet spot 2PM and 6PM.
10 AM and 2 PM and a snack of cheese at 5 PM.
Me too
wow exact same boat as you and i feel great. however omad is a perfect tool for weight loss whenever needed
Dr Ekberg, thank you for all your work. I'm a 68 years old retired woman and I've always listened to many good holistic doctors in Polish and English but I like the way you explain how the body works and what to do to help it get healthier the most. I did most of the healthy lifestyle things before I started listening to your channel but now, since I understand it better, I do it better and the result is that I feel and look better, too. A big hug and thank you!
pozdrawiam!
I'm on day three of OMAD before this I was on a 10am or 12noon time to 6pm. My A1c has gone down from 8.4 to 6.1. My weight has down down from 291lbs to 251 lbs my height is 6'2". My goal is to weigh 182 lbs. Thanks Dr for this training. I will follow your suggestion for 30 says on OMAD, and then review where I am.
@@realmercy how did you go?
Another great video taking a complex question and making it easy to understand. I started keto a few weeks ago after a ketoacidosis event (Type 1 Diabetic) and have moved to OMAD. After a few days, it now seems normal - no hunger during the fasting periods and lots of energy! Thanks so much for making keto easy to understand!
I’m fasting for about 40 days now. Started at 16/8 than 18/6 than 19/5 than 19/5 with an odd 24+ a week now I feel ready for OMAD. I’m so fat adaptares that I feel like I could go three days easily without eating anything. I’m happy with the control I have over my hunger. I love this channel and I love how well I’m doing
I am on 16/8 since long time, I will start with 18/6 and see how soon I will be ready for OMAD
OMAD is there side-effects like it's increasing bad cholesterol as well that's very bad
Back in the day when I was a kid in my Village in Mexico we called the OMAD diet just like "Eating"
😂🥺
As humans did for hundreds of years.
Doctor your videos are very simple to understand, thank you
Thank you Prabathkumar Kodakkandathil
@@drekberg Sir I appreciate your humility
Thanks for the video! You are by far my favorite Keto expert. You explain things in a perfect way to comprehend. I always learn something new from your videos and get reinforced on the things I already know. You have helped me tremendously. Keep up the good work, Doctor.
I have been following your advice for a while now and recently decided to fully work up to then commit to the OMAD diet. I have to say it works great and i honestly feel better than i have in my entire life. Thank you so much for these videos, they have changed my life!
This channel complements very well with Dr. Eric Berg's
agreed!
Yes I pair the 2 together
Dr. Berg often has general advice. Here it is more specific.
@@Ciconecindy
Try Stevia. It is 30 times sweeter than sugar but safe to use in coffee.
Dr. Berg is not an MD...but he is a scientologist.
Hi Dr Ekberg, I am a sereve psoriasis patient for the past 20years. I started Keto Diet Months ago and I implemented IF 16:8 for a month. Lately, I am practicing OMAD. Ever since then, My skin condition get 80% healed! Thank you so much for sharing so many informations about health. I learned so much from watching your videos.
Just starting. Thank you for the guidance. I will consider becoming a paid member. For the time being, I never thought a 24 hour fast would be so easy. I feel calm, sharp, and focused. This is really unbelievable. I guess all those organized religions were on to something after all with their fasting rituals.
Thank you so much for this information, I definitely don’t want to shock or hurt my body any more than all the abuse from the last 18 years! I started IF 5 weeks ago basically 1 meal a day and a late afternoon cup of yogurt and have lost 13 lbs. i’m slightly overweight but doing this to prevent type 2 diabetes. I was eating out a lot more and just not feeling well. My family has type 2 and I am doing everything I can to avoid it. I walk around all day at my job and bicycle when the weather permits. The benefits of a longer fast will help for sure and this was just what I needed. Thank you very much for helping me and all of us have a better quality of life. ❤️✌️
Struggled with severe IBS problems for last 10 years. started Intermittent fasting a year ago. I am on OMAD for 3 month and do a 48h fast once or 2ice a month. all IBS problems are gone. lost 12kg (I was a gym going, healthy eating man for years so 12 kg for me is A LOT). feeling healthier and my mind is more clear. actually I'm so comfy in my skin that I think I'll be on OMAD for the rest of my life! many thanks to Dr Ekberg for sharing all this knowledge.
Thanks Doc, this was brilliant. Day 6 of a 7 day water fast. No problem. I was motivated to do this by your "Don't eat for five days" video and I did it. I'm not hungry at all, feel great, inflammation is down a lot and I'm looking forward to easing back into an OMAD lifestyle and then transition to 2MAD once I hit my weight goal - no medical conditions prior to doing fast, or now. I recommended your videos twice this week, you're the best!
I’m almost at a year of OMAD. I used to eat six meals a day, you know, like the “experts” said to. If I missed a meal back then I would get panicked after a while and end up binging. I haven’t had that problem since I started OMAD.
Dave, how much weight did you get rid of so far?
@@Justin.Martyr huh? Apparently you dont understand Keto, do you? Eggs have like 1% carbs, so they are the ideal Keto food.
@@derek4177 im doing on average of 4 hard boiled eggs a day or i make an egg omellette with some olive oil.
I do OMAD three times a week and 20/4the rest just having a good keto breakfast and lunch. I’ve honestly never felt better mentally and the weight loss around the belly is a added bonus
For months Ive experimented with many things to see what works best for me and it has evolved into OMAD. Down 45 lbs from my heaviest at 307, at least 45 more to go
Did you manage to loose more weight?
I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks and hopefully still going. How is it for u
Well done, keep going.
Dr Sten Elbert is the best I have ever seen, he’s the one to teach me how to eat once a day,thank you very much
Been doing 1 meal a day for years , loving it ....Hershel Walker my favorite athlete also has been eating one meal a day since college .
H. Walker has,been on steroids forever😯😯😐😐💉💉💊💉💊💉💊💉💣💣💣💣🎯🎯
wow that's interesting; I didn't know that about Hershel Walker. He's a great athlete!
Thanks Dr Ekberg. OMAD works. I have lost almost 20 pounds in a month. No exercise. I actually feel like exercising for the first time in decades. My gut feels great. No more bloating and gas. Some days I weigh less at night than in the morning. I didn't do keto but minimize my carbs to less than 20% of my meals. 10 more pounds I'll hit my target weight from 30 years ago. It's now time to tone some muscle.
I went years eating at least 4-5k calories a day and should have been 600 pounds and diabetic. Fortunately I was blessed with something that it never got that bad.
Great video, been OMAD since April 2020. Lost 60lbs. by Oct. Maintaining now.
Thank you Doc , I like the way u explain theories, nice slow & clear to the point 👍I already subscribed and share it to my sisters 😍👍
I learn every time I watch a Dr. Ekberg vid. Invaluable knowledge. Thank you Doc! 🤝
I started my intermittent fasting now a week on it and able to do OMad... Thanks doc for these videos l find them so helpful.
Just concluded a 16 day water only fast today in which I lost 18.5 lbs; last month (Dec '21) I was on a vegetarian diet where I lost 5.5 lbs for a total of 24 lbs in 7 weeks. I'm down from 204.6 to 180.6. My energy is up, pain and stiffness gone, I'm sleeping better and my clothes fit comfortably - I was at the point of either losing weight or buying an entirely new and larger wardrobe.
Now I plan on doing Keto on a 4/20 hour split for 90 days to get rid of the last of my belly and return to all the strenuous yard work I did 5 years ago, managing our 16 acres, that became near impossible. 20 pounds to go - 54 is starting to feel good!
Love this guy!! Answers my questions as I thinking about them!
Started OMAD 5 days ago plus briskwalking in the mornings and evenings, ive lost 4 inches off my waist. Thanks Doc!
My last meal was 15 days ago. Yesterday walked 9 km
How long did you fast then?
You must be a zombie walking 9 km. 😳
@@charlesmurray9608 21 days. Wasn't hungry but had unthawed a roast so began eating again
@@alinggrasha5313 your body has food. It's fat. On day 6, I bicycled 140 kms
Excellent video. I especially appreciated the lack of hard and fast rules, and the understanding that what works for one person might not suit another. OMAD is difficult in a family, especially if you are the food preparer. Shortening the eating window to 6 hours is more doable. One other benefit you don't mention is how delicious food tastes! I eat slowly and savor each bite. Thanks again, I find your speaking pace to be very nice.
Dr Eckberg the way you explain things makes my keto diet much easier to understand and keep on track! Thanks so much!
Thank you Ruth Lopez. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Never had it explained like this before. Thank you!
Learning so much from you. Thank you for producing these. The greater population should be watching your videos.
Love how you always focus understanding for sustainability. I did 20 hours of fasting today and think I can aim for OMAD few times a week eventually
Saw you on the Nick Nimmin livestream and decided to check out your channel. Glad I did! Looks fun!
Thank you
This is such a refreshing, healthy easy to follow, satisfying, and sustainable way to eat and live👍 Thank you Dr.Ekberg!
Dr Ekberg and Dr Jason Fung, you are a blessing to us...On our sixth month Intermittent Fasting/No sugar now...Doing OMAD once a week. We are forever grateful of your untiring health advocacy for humanity!
I love IF. I’m practicing OMAD now in my 2ndweek. Love the lifestyle easy on the body, feels great. Thank you Dr Ekberg. I’m watching your channel every night . Once again THANK a billion Dr
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, very easy to understand and certainly helpful information please keep posting great information .
I will. Thank you very much.
I'm a muslim and I have been fasting voluntarily for years and it's all for the sake of Allah ... but now we can see how amazing that is...you get reward and also a healthy body... and we also are obliged to fast during the month of Ramad'han...
Always enjoy watching your video clips as they are informative and instructive. What is more, they are really good to help me with my weight loss. Thank you so much!!
Love the knowledge! I feel like I have been majorly empowered to take back my health and my weight control. Thanks!!
💯
very thankfull that i started following you. really making progress here and achieving my weight loss goals. thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
You are welcome implo.
Dr Sten,Another awesome insight to OMAD 👌
Thank you
Thank you so much for yor videos. I started on IF mid Jan and I've lost about 1 stone + my gut issues are slowly becoming less troublesome. I have a lot of issues in my family with diabetes so I started this journey trying to reduce my risk. I feel loads better eating wholefoods - nothing processed and the weight loss is a side effect of just being mindful of what I eat as well as the IF. I'm about to try OMAD now as I'm now fat adapted so I think it won't be so tough. Hopefully I'll get back to my normal weight from 5 years ago with my weight gain & insulin resistance a thing of the past. So grateful for your work - :)
The content of your channel answer all my questions. Thanks so much Doc
Another great video as always!
Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback and seeing you.
Great video Dr. Ekberg. Thank you :)
Thank you Olga Jimenez.
Great video. The world really needs doctors like you who teach people to practice healthy habits without creating any false fears of fasting.
You have answered so many questions I had, in this one video. Thank you
Great Lecture.. Always a pleasure to listen to you . You explain so well and so calmly .
Thank you aliyahsky1. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
I've been doing OMAD for about two years and I can't stress enough the importance of getting those electrolytes throughout the day. It makes for a much more pleasant experience. Primarly sodium, potassium and magnesium.
supplements?
@@naocas367 Hi Naomi. I take Potassium bitartrate (Cream of Tartar, a byproduct of winemaking, for potassium). Magnesium Malate for magnesium and just regular table salt for sodium.
I take magnesium glycinate because it is the form least likely to cause diarrhea.
@@StrayVertex thanks! How much in each?
@@StrayVertex How much of each is safe for daily consumption? Thank you. I guess just mixed with water?
Thank you for the gradual adaptation advice. The information you provide has helped my journey to a healthier body weight
I had an idea that I was under stress
but I had no idea how much until March
of 2019. By late October of 2020 I was
in terrible stress. I had an epiphany &
left most things behind & moved to
be near my daughter in Ypsilanti Mi.
Stress went way down. I kept eating
the same foods & meds. Was prescribed
more meds. Then I saw your posts. You
made sense. I began to follow your
food & fasting regime about 9d ago.
I also paused all ills of any kind.
This morning my B/P was 116/93.
I was so surprised I wanted to tell you
what happened.
OMAD lost 50 lbs over 5 months, thanks
Wow!! Really fast progress ...💪
What did you eat .. how many calories?
Have been doing OMAD for almost two years. Love it. Simplification of life is great. Don't worry about not eating enough calories. Very easy to eat 2k+ calories per meal... look at a label on things like cheesecake. One thing that is incorrect, is the bullet proof coffee recommendation. Adding MCT's and butter to coffee and drinking it during your 'fasting' time is not fasting.
You want to eat ZERO calories when you are fasting.
That is the whole point. Another thing that is missing is the fact that you become insulin sensitive. What winds up happening is that your ability to absorb nutrients becomes enhanced. I think quite significantly. Consider the typical pre-diabetic person (so many here in America, basically an epidemic): they have body fat on their bodies, technically they should be very energetic..they have all that stored energy hanging on them! But they are not. They are tired, exhausted, and ravenously hungry. Why? Because insulin resistance develops a strange 'catch 22' in the body: the cells have become resistant to insulin (from eating too often/too much), so they cannot absorb nutrients (insulin tells the cells to open up and receive nutrients) AND the body is then taking all those unused nutrients and calories and storing them as FAT (the other property of insulin is fat storage). So the insulin-resistant person is fat and exhausted and their cells are screaming for more nutrients! A person in this situation is then considered 'pre-diabetic' ...if they continue, then the pancreas breaks down and they become fully diabetic. ....so what does the allopathic doctor do to treat this essentially severely insulin-resistant person, who is now fully diabetic?? MORE INSULIN!! Wtf??? That is like saying person a is an alcoholic, .....SO LET'S TREAT HIM BY GIVING HIM MORE ALCOHOL!!
What is the point of fasting, whether intermittent, or long term? I think the main thing is to become more insulin sensitive. consider this: I only eat once a day by taking food in my mouth (and then triggering insulin to be released so my cells can take in nutrients...any excess energy is stored as fat). However, during the day...my body is still eating. It is eating the stored fat that the lowering of insulin in my blood finally allows my body to access the stored fat! Another thing that is happening is the resting of the pancreas. A tiny organ that pumps out insulin when we eat. ... anything. Even if you eat low-glycemic foods like butter, you still trigger insulin to be released. When we are eating and for the digestion for some time thereafter, the pancreas is in charge of insulin. During the fasted part of your day, it is the liver that is controlling blood sugar levels with a growth-hormone-like factor called IGF (insulin-like growth factor).
Next time you are in an doctor's office, or some where where they display sizes of organs on charts, take a look at the liver versus the pancreas. The liver is huge. It can weigh up to 3.3 pounds in a grown man (the pancreas weighs in up to 0.2lbs). If up to 90% of the liver is removed... it will still regenerate. The pancreas, relatively, is much smaller, if compromised, its on its death legs and it does not regenerate like the liver does (once gone, you are now diabetic for the rest of your life).
So what organ would you rather have control your blood sugar for most of the day...or your life?? I would prefer it was that big liver that can regenerate.
sidfor911truth since you have done this for so long maybe you can answer a question for me... Is drinks like pepsi max and energy drinks like monster ultra(no calories) ok when doing omad? I drink sometimes 1 can in the fasting period and im not sure if it break the fast
Wow! You are AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for info!
@@TheRealRalph Im not sure, but those drinks like Monster contain too much glucose, sucrose, and other sugars, about 26 grams of carbs in a 3 ounce can, and some other ingredients that aren't good for you. I would stick to more natural drinks, like water, teas, lemon water and even broth. Glucose is the second ingredient listed, and sugar is what you want to stay away from.
michael p thank you sir I drink it all the time and I’ve still lose weight. 😄
You're not fasting, but the BPC doesn't have any insulin response on the body.
Thank you sir for your knowledge. Your a great man. Much appreciated
This is so helpful to finally understand how to use OMAD therapeutically. Thanks for bringing in balance to this approach as well as how to balance macros. So many fasting programs say not to have a diet mentality considering macros but they will not have as much success. With gratitude.
I really like OMAD! So easy and not a lot of cooking-makes it an easy day! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for validating the BP coffee and the OMAD; a perfect day!!
Thank you, such a practical and logical approach to OMAD, IF and Keto. 👍👏
Thank you koundamanee.
I've lost 2/3 stone by giving up on booze totally & eating one large salad + one soup together per day. My body feels astounding in comparison.
I have been eating 2 meals a day for the last 12 years.
It had come to the point where I can not eat 3 meals a day .
I do 36 hour fasting for every 15 days.
Very healthy! God's grace. 💐
Thinking of OMAD now.
I'm proud to my self, been doing OMAD since January 5 until now. Also I just did my second time 48 hours fasting. I was amaze , where is the energy coming from., to think that I'm working 8 hours a day .
I just started my OMAD after a five day fast. I have alcoholic fatty liver from liking beer too much and I am 63 years old now. I quit the beer from an on and off thing to totally quitting it a few months ago. I have a belly like a small pumpkin. I really like the idea of OMAD and can do it easily and start eating a salad with maybe some Mackerel in tomato sauce poured over it from a can and coconut oil and Braggs apple cider vinegar. I know that canned food is not the best but I live in Thailand now for the past twenty years and moved here from Boulder, CO and they don't have a lot of organic shops in Nakhon Sawan. Boulder had so many giant supermarkets of health food and that was only organic but not here. I would like to lose twenty pounds but like you say there is no real quick way so I certainly will take the slow healthy path. Thank you so much for all your great videos that I have watched about ten and they are very precise in your educating style, Peace, and love to a long happy life!!!
Finally something that works. I've tried all sorts of diets and work out routines over the years, but either it didn't work or was it was hard to maintain for whatever reason. This is the only thing that has worked this far.
I wasn't looking to lose a lot of weight but just general toning and thin my waist, face and such. I went from 150 to 135 in about 1 month and a half and have been easily able to maintain that.
I eat a large brunch around 2pm consisting of ground pork, shallots, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, tomatoes and green chilis. I often season it with smoked paprika, thyme, sage, rosemary, chili powder and salt & pepper. I brown the sausage first with some olive oil, add the rest to the pan on medium, adding some butter (if needed) until everything is cooked. When finished, I like to add some full fat plain Greek yogurt (like Chobani) or sour cream to it.
Now that I've reached my desired weight I'm more comfortable with relaxing on snacks, so an English muffin here and there in the evening is okay where it wasn't before. Carbs aren't generally part of my diet though and I limit my intake.
The first couple days were hard to get used to but it is way easier after that.
e: Thank you! :-)
You are really GREAT. Amazing act of imparting knowledge. Love from the Philippines
Great learning and I like the practical details, thank you! I will love to know more about athletic life people in sport, how are we be able to live healthy in a more demanding physical environment. Sports that are more intense like swimming or running and others that requires muscle growth like bodybuilding or weight lifting. As a former athlet your self you would be able to put a lot of things onto perspective for us! Thank you!
I've had type 2 diabetes for 5 years. My weight is low,with a high metabolism, and I'm always busy working hard. Not to mention poor (impoverished). Bless you, Dr. Sten.
This is the best nutritionist & bariatrician you will ever find on youtube or anywhere. He has so much knowledge & wisdom. Now things started making sense for me. I lost 8 pounds in just two weeks by following his advises and at some point in the future will switch to OMAD. Thank you doc.
Thank you so much Dr Sten Ekberg .
You are the best. Yes you help each one of us to understand our own bodies. Thank you again. Love you for being do selfless
Thank you Twinkle Bumahit. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you for all your awesome videos Dr. Sten Ekberg. Regarding this video, where do vegetables fit in this plan? Thanks.
How long does it take to get rid of insulin resistance? I started doing OMAD and 36 hours fasting and absolutely in love with this approach. As many of us, I tried it all… dieting, caloric restriction, gym 2 times a day, yoga , walking … you name it.. 😮but with little success …
I am on OmAD and periodically 36 hours now.. and it feels weight goes down effortlessly!! Thank you for all educational videos you are posting and helping so many of us to overcome all this myths of “constant eating “ to stay healthy!
