    I just did this for a whole semester of law school and it worked really well. The biggest benefit for me was the time I saved from not having more than one meal.

      Yeah I wonder if the whole "3 meals a day" is too much cooking for a modern person, thus all the fast food etc. One meal a day cooking is more reasonable. But I'd say you have to make sure you get your calories

    The thing about hunger is that it increases the more regularly you eat. When you're fasting you get into a flow after some hours and the feeling of hunger is mild or goes away completely.

    I've been doing OMAD for over two and a half months. I don't weigh myself because it triggers me to binge, but I know I've lost a lot of weight. During that time I did two two-day fasts and one three-day fast. I'm so used to it now that it is normal for me. Just now, at over two and a half months I am beginning to feel the hightened clarity and re-connection to my body. I am also doing a lot of stretching and walking since I'm still too big to do much else. I love OMAD; it's really changed my life. It's safe to do long term. I admire how you experiment with your body and go full bore into whatever you do. Peace to you and yours. Thank you.

Went to see the Dr to make sure I was healthy, I was worried I was messing myself up, but got a full bill of health from him and told I was now an example for keto and intermittent fasting success.

I also really recommend those of you that are trying to lose weight, to watch 10,000+ calorie challenge videos! seeing how disgusting people felt from eating my favorite foods made me WANT my healthy, low calorie foods & I felt better about myself.
    Now that I'm eating at maintenance, food videos aren't as attractive to me. I'm moreso watching this video for the education of it.

    Not that this will necessarily work for anyone else, but I found the greatest benefit from doing a slightly modified version of omad . I would still have the one big meal but then I would have a protein shake or something about an hour to 2 hours later. So more like one and a half meals a day? But that prevented me from being extremely over full and also made sure I could hit all of the macros that I needed to. I lost like 25 lb in 5 months doing this and you're still doing intermittent fasting for essentially 22 or 23 hours a day. Just made it a bit more bearable in my opinion.
    Alternately, you could have a really light snack to tide you over for an hour or two and then have the big meal. That helped me push my food later into the day so that I would be full when I went to bed instead of binging on snack foods or junk food.

During the last nine days or so, the hunger during the day has almost completly dissapeared. I sometimes get hungry for half an hour or so, but it really just goes away when disstracted, and doesnt nesseceraly resourface. If anyone has any questions, id love to share my insight.

If you eat 2500 calories in junk food, then i guarentee you will get hungry within 6 hours at best. Bascially eat something that fills you up for a long time, like complex fibers and what not.

    Very interesting. The only thing that I was thinking about was that if eating the one meal at dinner, eat it at lunch. Because if you are eating so much calories so close to bedtime you will have worse sleep. If you eat at lunch, you would have been more empty before bed and will result in lower heart rate and better sleep quality.
    That is one thing I do sometimes just to improve my sleep.

    I've been doing one meal a day routinely for the last 7 or more years (give or take the occasional party and family gathering). Personally works for me. It gives control over what i decide to put into my body given what I've done during the day. I'm not a regular weight lifter..i'm I data scientist by day and someone who enjoys physical activities (yard work, skiing, surfing, hiking, etc.) when i'm not. IMO most important part is that 1 meal covers standard nutrient intakes and you have an app to track that you make sure you're getting what is necessary. IDK how this diet would work if you wanted to gain mass.

We eat in thirds. Meaning, one third of your stomach food, one third water and one third empty.

      @arsenal4444 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@Kirkov36 for real do research, I was surprised
      basic idea is like everything else in the body - use it or lose it
      if not exercising, body eats itself a lot more and there is significant lost, just like there's significant muscle loss when not exercising whether fasting or not
      with exercise and fasting, that signals to the body not to eat it's own muscles since it needs to use them, so it'll eat more body fat for energy, and in research I think it was around 85-95% of muscle and strength was usually retained despite fasting and losing crazy amounts of fat during long fasts
      -Edit: the % retained is about the difference between not fasting being the reference point of 100% muscle retention, and compared to fasting but not exercising being the reference of 0% (0% set by the lowest person in the study, some people retained more naturally so they landed in the 20-35% retention range just because of genetics, but the point is that compared to regular eating the fasting barely had the body consume it's own muscle as long as the person exercised)
      and same thing for gaining weight after - if not exercising, body will slow metabolism when the stomach is all empty, so then when not fasting the slow metabolism has people convert more food to fat instead of using it up as energy. If exercising while fasting, and when back to eating, the metabolism is forced to stay high the entire time and thus not have that weight gain issue afterward.
      that's the core summary, the whole topic is really interesting with the details involved, especially with how it's such a big misconception in western countries because of all the advertising and basically lies told because people are getting paid to sell food and constant eating to all the customers - even advertising that sort of stuff to young gullible kids in schools and uneducated parents that don't know any better and don't do any research

    I started doing this while in the Military, stopped a bit after I was deployed because I was drinking a lot of alcohol. Now, over the last year of working at a marina, I slowly started fasting again and now I'm sort of back on the OMAD and I don't really notice. It's 11:21am and I've had a glass of milk so far. I'll eat around 5 or 530 or so. A glass of milk for bone density, I noticed some joint pain over extended periods of exercise or lifting. just my findings though. I'm 5'11 and wiegh 215 at the moment, which is not very good since I'm not cut anymore. I also smoke a bit of weed, so that might play a factor.

    I been doing the omad for almost 1.5 years, only breaking omad on weekends, eating 3 or 2 smaller meals trough the day, combined with my job which involves a lot of walking and lifting stuff on ocasion, i lost 35 kgs in that year and a half. Considering in the beginning i felt like crap but now feel good. And actually sometimes not hungry even when coming home from working 8-10 hours.

    I do OMAD and I don't eat remotely close to this much. Most of my meals consist of a lean protein and veggies.
    I don't get why people think OMAD is a substitute for bad eating habits.
    The point of OMAD is to eat fewer calories in a single sitting and eating healthy.
    As you pointed out after the first few days the hunger decreases. But OMAD without changing what you eat is vastly less effective.

    I see a lot of comments saying they did this by accident and I almost/sort of did too but it wasnt full on OMAD it was more of a snack + dinner. My freshman year at college in 2019 I had a very low budget and my daily routine consisted of coffee in the morning , maybe a snack (crackers/beef jerky) between classes, and dinner at night. In between, I was fairly active as each class was anywhere from a 10-20 minute walk in 110 degree weather (ASU) and I would usually end my day at the gym or playing basketball and lost about 20-30lbs in one semester. The crazy thing is being so broke, I mostly could afford burger king and used to use do the surveys every night to get a free whopper a couple of times a week so I wasnt even consuming quality dinners it was fries and a burger but it worked unintentionally

    Like any diet, it's a compromise. It's one of the more extreme ones. A "min-max" if you will. But it's just giving something up in return for something else. It's all about what the person needs at the given time.

    I've eaten 1 meal a day for the overwhelming majority of my life. The benefit is definitely that you can eat whatever the hell you want when you eat, and generally not even pay attention to calories. I generally have always done it because I couldn't afford to eat 3 times a day, but since my body is used to it, I don't get hungry.

    I don’t purposely do OMAD but it’s often because I don’t have the time or motivation to make more than one meal a day, but I often eat snacks throughout the day to avoid the brain fogginess. My Body also just does not like it as much for me to eat breakfast, especially if I have coffee before I eat anything. It definitely worries me sometimes though because I’m a 18 year old male who should definitely be eating like 3 meals a day no problem, but I’m often just not hungry enough to make more than 2 meals. I’m still in decent shape and it doesn’t seem to affect my day to day stuff, so I don’t force myself to eat breakfast for the sake of having a third meal.

My gym has this digital weighing machine which I plan to use every 15 days as it actually calculates the body fat percentage. You already have beautiful abs and your OMAD definitely increased the muscle definition. Even your arms & face look so good now! Kudos for that! I wish I could gradually convert more of my IF days to OMAD in order to accelerate the results & you have been a HUGE inspiration for that! Looking forward to more videos from your channel Dude!
