5. Promotes autophagy
6. Live longer
7. No hunger
8. No more cravings
9. Better skin
10. Increased energy
11. Increased mood
12. Increased cognitive function
13. Decreased inflammation
14. Decreased blood pressure
15. Decreased heart disease
16. Improved dementia

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand OMAD and the amazing potential benefits of OMAD (One Meal A Day).
The fact that you put 23 benefits in a five minute video instead of stretching it over ten minutes is honorable.
😂
omad did it
Some people can stretch it to 25 mins
Definitely
Amen.
I actually enjoy feeling hungry when I have one meal a day. I know it sounds weird as hell, but it's true. Then when I do eat food it tastes so much better than when I'm eating 3 meals a day.
Totally agree 👍
You're funny but I understand you. Kinda feel the same :)
Makes sense. You can't enjoy eating if you do it so often that you never feel hungry. Eating becomes meaningless.
What time do u eat? When i eat at dinner, that is the best because i just eat what i really need after the day, i sometimes feel bad in my stomach and liver i think.. any suggestions? The digestive fire is stronger at mid day isnt it?
Patrick Todd: So very true. I never felt hungry for so long I was eating 3 times a day as if it was important just to survive! Like religions, it is another man made generalized response for societal reasons keeping nature and human individual needs and situation out of any consideration. I agree that the routine was taken as "law' in my case as needed to stay alive. Yes, I enjoyed the eating... even though only that short part of the process (daily) and the long term effects of it must be all taken together in the larger picture of one's health and well being. Salute.
He forgot the most important thing: Less dishes to wash!
less tp
Good one :))))
Hahahahaha 🤣 🤣.. A good one there! 🤝🏾
"Fewer", but yes.
@@rogergreen9861 I'm glad someone could say that in 3 words or ... fewer.
I quit breakfast and went to OMAD (one meal a day) and lost 15 pounds in three weeks. I couldn’t lose weight on two meals of keto intermittent fasting. I’m 71 and this was a miracle for me. I figured I was insulin resistant.
Wow, very impressive AND inspiring!
I'm 63 and the struggle is real.
I was always slim, had a flat tummy....but menopause is a beast!👹
I have a fairly small eating window, but I need to work at tightening that up to reach OMAD, and also being more diligent with keto. 👍🏻
I REFUSE to give in to the BEAST!
💪🏼
Marcia… do you eat anything you want for your one meal? Or are you sticking to low carb? I am 58 and struggling a bit. Ty.🤓
That's great, Marcia! I met a 71-year-old guy at my gym a few months ago and he was telling me that he eats only one meal a day, and the man literally looks like he's in his 50s. He's slender and wiry and does all kinds of aerobic exercises that put many younger people to shame. He highly recommended the diet to me after I told him about my lack of energy issues. I'm definitely thinking of giving OMAD a try, but I know it's going to take a lot of discipline!
@@SheriAnne0711 same here! Idk what'd be good to eat to help lose it. Other than salmon. I can't cook that stuff for nuffn 😂
What do you eat for the one meal a day ?
*one fourth of what you eat, keeps you alive, and rest 3 parts keep your doctors alive*
Indian here .......... i hope u know indian mindset....... most of ur life is influenced by ur parents.....all of their life parents
have been taught that more we eat....better we will be........if we dont eat that much parents will make our lives hell ....
And helps the food industry 😄
the key to life is found in the breath
Very well said

Dr Eric, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, words lack my appreciation for what you have done for me. One morning I get this TH-cam suggestion, to watch your video; about fasting. I have fatty liver, cancer survivor, hep c survivor and a list of other medical problems, many doctors have tried and failed to help my pain, sleeplessness, fatigue, chronic bad breath, foggy brain to no avail. I decided to listen to you and started my journey; cold turkey that day 23:1 fasting. It's been 4 months now and I can say with tears in my eyes that YOU Dr Eric have save me from a life of misery and no hope. I have tons of energy, sleep well and my pain is 90 to 99% gone. God bless you and may God keep you in his watch every second. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you to the power of infinity.
I know how u feel because myself suffering from serious illness (inflammation over my whole upper respiratory system with sjogrens syndrome) and trying to incorporate this OMAD from last week. Hope this works for me too
Wow, that is awesome. Well done.
Dear Joe 2 months passed on your comment. How are you now? How many kg have you lost? Do you feel ok?
When should this one meal be
@@daniellaswell1247 Any time as long as it is the "around" the same time everyday. Ideally, if you sleep during "normal/natural" hours, them the meal may best between noon-ish and four-ish PM's.
I did OMAD for 3 months and 2 weeks and lost 24 kg , which is mind blowing for me, great great doctor.
I'm back on track for my health , wish me luck 🤞🏻😊
What did you eat ?? Like if we eat just one meal what should be included in that .or were you taking tea and coffee also pr not?
Everything that Dr. Berg said is dead on accurate! Been doing this for 7 months and I lost 50 pounds! Losing slow, consistent and steady. I’m not starving and feel GREAT! I can tell that my digestive system appreciates it also. No bloating or belly fat and I sleep WELL! The best part is, I FEEL healthy! It’s sooooo easy to continue this for LIFE!
@Lauren Morena Everyone's time will depend on there schedules. I fast for 22hrs and eat in a 2hr window, my time is 12noon to 2pm.
@Lauren Morena I fast through work 8-5 and wait until 6pm to enjoy dinner with my family.
for over 35 years i've always eaten 1 meal a day ... people react by either 1) saying it is 'impossible' and not believing me or 2) warning me that its not healthy and 3) claiming an early breakfast is the 'best start to the day' ... but i truly believe that i have enjoyed the benefits listed by Dr Berg ... plus, as i am sure you agree, food tastes so much better when mealtime comes around ... just because my eating is restricted to a 2-3 hour window per day doesn't mean i don't love to eat!
@Lauren Morena at 5pm.
And update-I have lost a total of 63 pounds!
That feeling of having the first bite of food after a long time cannot be compared or explained! One of the best feelings!
I am on OMAD recently.. Loving it!
It's gratitude
How.much calorie deficit do u eat from ur BMR?
That's absolutely true
Seriously 😁
At which time do you take your meal - heavy or light meal?
Whenever I feel hungry, instead of eating crap, I just watch Dr. Berg's videos. It helps me to remain motivated. 😀
Edit:Thanks a lot for the likes guys.😊😊 This is my highest liked comment so far. I hope you all are doing well in the challenging times of Covid - 19.
Every day I watch another video to stay motivated and learn more.
Quick tip and apologies if you already know it, but salt taken in water works nicely for hunger sometimes
Me too..
Yes!!

I lost 40 pounds one meal a day i am a cancer patient hoping it ll work for my cancer.... Thank you Dr Eric... love from Pakistan...
Best wishes for a FULL recovery! Congratulations on weight loss👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@miriamalonso7448 Thank u
dont forget to consume habbatussauda or black seed.
I wish you well. From USA.
Did it help with your cancer?
I love how Jesus told us to do this and now we are finding out it helps not just our spirit but our mind and body
Hi my brother. I’m not Christian but I’d love to get some reference on where it was said to fast! It’s amazing how science is just now discovering this
Jacob Renner..Hey..do share about this?
@@Tata-bd9nx what do you mean
Muslims and several other religions fast for 40 days! Many miracles have taken place and many have been healed!
@@brokenhero6828 Matthew 17:21
“But this kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Depending on your translation there are variations.
There are at least 40 places in the bible where they talk about fasting.
One meal a day - I lost 50 kilo over 10 months. 115 to 62 as of today and feel amazing!
Well done 👏👏what did you eat in your meal? And your omad window was 23 /1 ?
牡丹 Bahar I mainly went vegetarian, wholemeal pastas and rice and occasional chicken. Oh and lots of fruit because it's the only sugar my body likes now lol - almost 1-23/2-22 depending on the day, I tried not to be too strict. Some days I eat more than others and some days I have something small in the morning (usually if I've had a crazy high energy day). But generally speaking after about a week maybe 10 days you stop feeling hungry all the time. After about a month your only hungry for healthier foods and when you do eat something your body doesn't like, you'll be able to pick out what it was really easily. I don't have any plans on stopping any time soon because I eat when I'm actually hungry and my body needs food, I drink maybe 4 times the amount of water I used to, I have endless energy now and generally speaking my overall health has improved massively.
Oh and I'm now 59 kilo and holding solid - not putting on or losing any more weight now. Went to the doctor a couple of days ago and for the first time since I was 13 ALL my blood work (vitamin mineral etched) was spot on and my bmi was considered healthy. FIRST time in 20 years. so for me, after endless searching and doctors and specialists and things half working or simply not, Dr berg changed my life.
Cass W wooow!👏👏👏so happy to read this valuable information and thank you so much for sharing them🌹actually it’s been 8 days that I started to do fasting and not actually fasting is like keeping how long as I can 40-48 hrs then I eat,2-3 days I could keep just 24 hrs and in total in this 8 days I ate 5 meals ! I dropped 3.5 kg but 2 days ago I realized when I eat at each 24 hrs I gain,it was very strange for me!! I’m 85.9 kg now And I wanna be 70 kg my height is 180cm ,haven’t been 70 kg since my 18th😔but i have to say in this 8 days I saw obvious skin healing specially on my face,even my cheeks color became red and I have obvious high energy as you said!! After all these signs I feel like I’m near to my goal now,the only problem is my weight loss is so slow ! I have to figure out it
My weight loss started slowly too - the first couple of months I think i only lost about 5 kilo. After that, once my body realised what was going on and that it wasnt going to starve, I started dropping weight SUPER fast. Some weeks you might only lose half a kilo, other weeks you might lose 3. Dont be too tough on yourself, it takes a little bit for everything to really start working
Oh, I see what you did there. 23 reasons, one for each hour you're not eating.
Ha!
Preet must be fasting for 23 hours for that kind of mental clarity. :-P
Lol
Preet - You passed the ‘mental clarity’ portion. 22 to go ... ;)
😂
The part he said about resetting your metabolic brain is so true. I was 241lb in March 2021, and started keto. In october 2021, i was 170 lbs. I stopped keto but continued OMAD and now I am 142lbs.
wow that is impressive !
wow that's super. great. have u noticed anything in your skin, the quality of it, improvement? smoother/younger like dr berg says...
Awesome n impressive
Finally I got someone who says what I was believing for so many year. I only eat once and I am totally okay. People kept telling me that I should eat three times a day and stuff... but I here I am and I am still going strong if not stronger
i'm the same ... for over 35 years i've always eaten 1 meal a day ... people react by either 1) saying it is 'impossible' and not believing me or 2) warning me that its not healthy and 3) claiming an early breakfast is the 'best start to the day' ... but i truly believe that i have enjoyed the benefits listed by Dr Berg ... plus, as i am sure you agree, food tastes so much better when mealtime comes around ... just because my eating is restricted to a 2-3 hour window per day doesn't mean i don't love to eat!
Indeed, almost as if the body adapts and uses every cell of food and every cell in your body much more efficiently, since you're no longer flooding your entire body with excess waste.
People think I don't eat enough when I tell them how I eat, yet on the flip side will compliment me on how healthy I look without knowing my diet.
The brainwashing of society for the 3 meals per day or else health problems, yet most people with health problems eat said 3 meals per day, is ironic.
How much do you eat in that one meal a day?
@@davidchism2768 just enough to get satisfied sir
Do u have high libido?
Currently fasting 16 hours a day, adding a half hour each week, until I get to 23. So far I'm loving it. I'm getting leaner and stronger simultaneously, best of both worlds!
awesome! When do you work out? In the morning , with little hours of fast or in the evening before you break your fast?
First thing in the morning after a cup of plain black coffee, absolutely nothing in it. I've gone from two to one meal a day and I feel incredible! Good luck and good health.
I just jumped straight into omad straight away. Was hard for the first 3 weeks but now I am flying. Never hungry feel far better more energy just all round well being. By the way I'm 4 stone over weight and have lost 18 pounds so far. Just make sure you drink plenty of water and Apple cider vinegar and green tea when not fasting. Think I will do this for the rest of my life truly is the best way to live. So good luck with your fasting
Hybrid Athletix I believe I recently saw you on one of the MMA/ UFC videos.
N Mak how many calories is your meal?
Was following keto with IF for 18 months, and I find OMAD much more sustainable. If I want some fruit or a complex carb, I don't sweat it. But having loved the IF, OMAD is a natural fit for me, with the slight dietary flexibility I didn't know I was craving. Btw, I have congenital congestive heart failure with cardiomyopathy (dx at age 25) ... most recently, my heart function increased so greatly, they had to repeat the scans, having gone from an EF of 30, to nearly SIXTY, in one calendar year. This is classified as "recovery" or "remission" which I intend to draw out as long as possible. Not sure if IF or OMAD has contributed to this incredible change, but if it keeps me from going back on the transplant list, I'll take it!!♡♡ Love, light & wellness!
JP Benedetto Glad I found someone who did the keto comment. Question, so the OMAD w/IF is better to you than the keto w/IF? Also are your OMAD keto meals are anything? Trying to compare them to see if I should even try this...love Dr Berg's videos on keto but didn't know he did the OMAD videos, this fell in my lap...lol, okay maybe not lap but you know what I mean! Glad your health is better and you have a meal plan that works for you too!!!
WOW...AMAZING...BLESSINGS
Are you in ketosis most of the day? Seems likely.
JP Benedetto omg Congratulations!!
I'm inspired from this life changing testimonial....congrats
I've been doing OMAD for 9 months and have lost 30lbs. I feel all of these benefits. I struggled with ADD before and feel so much more focused and my mind feels clear. I eat whatever I want during my 1 hour window and still lost 30lbs.
I would imagine if you really watched what you ate during that one hour (low carb) you could achieve Ketosis
If you're mostly there already...why not take that final step into Keto?
Do you do this every day or just certain days of the week?
@@jc4evur661why do we need it to be low carb ?
Did u cut out sugar?
*Been doing this for a week and I feel so clear minded. And I've lost 10 pounds! Absolutely loving this!*
Did u workout?
Does it have to be a keto meal?
@@iloveserenitychurch No, But the additional benefits of doing Keto meals is enormous.
@@Norawarsame Working out will add more benefits, but no you do not have to exercise, i remember when i was 20 and gained alot of weight due to medical issues, i did this diet(not too disciplined ) and lost 10 kgs in one month with a bit of soft exercise
Did u workout and quit sugar?
Been doing omad for two weeks now and done 48hrs fasting twice. I feel great, i feel less hungry, my skins is very smooth, my face became pinkish, i sleep very well, i feel like i have a wider vision than before, my mood and patience has improved by leaps and bound. For me fasting is so life changing. I started this motivation for loss weight but now i have realised that lossing weight is one of the least benefits of fasting there are more important stuff to it.......
Mark Almencion that sounds awesome! And all that after only two weeks! 💪
Same what I experiencing
Mark Almencion hi mark did you do OMAD along with 48hrs fasting? Wasn’t it hard?
Wow..thats awesome...i want to try OMAD too..
What if i do 2 meals a day morning and early night
I've been doing this and keto for almost 3 months and I've lost 56 pounds. It works people.
Cris Thomson I'm doing keto w/IF and I just might have to combine it with keto. What's the difference or is there one besides it just being OMAD?
diamond starr KETO is a very short term weigh loss plan. You can't be avoiding carbs your whole life you know. Or else you're going to be living in pain.
"Dangit I ate some ice cream, nooooo." That's what you are going to be whether you like it or not.
The real secret is to just go into a calorie deficit.
P.S. - The information I have
illustrated is from
personal experience
diamond starr just practice an 18 hour fast of IF from Monday to Friday and then you can try OMAD on the weekends because we all know that's when the real binge eating starts. Or you can practice IF for some time before going into OMAD because trust me, the hunger will be unbearable. OMAD is great and just after 4 weeks you can notice some MAJOR weight loss.
Chicken Nuggets I feel you about weekend cravings, it gets real...lol. But your right, I've been IF for some weeks now and noticed how an OMAD will push me pass a weight stall. Thanks for your feedback!
Hopefully you could clarify something for me dude, it's known as 23:1 diet right? so am i allowed to eat for the whole hour, or only say, one plate of food(one meal) sorry if its a stupid question, but i am genuinely wondering :)
This what happened when I started OMAD combined with 1 hour of normal walking every day and a cold shower every day. My skin looks much better, it radiates health. I have 0 mood swings. I feel 100% focused and full of energy. YMV, but OMAD, daily cold shower and 1 hour of walking each day is simply fantastic. I also lost a lot of weight.
you are a BEAST.
Love you Dr. Berg, I have been on OMAD for the last 4 months lost about 60 lbs and got in shape and never felt this great before
How old are you !
What was your weight before

Yes! It motivates me to brush my teeth more too!
Wow genious
For me actually, fasting gives me a really bad breath. At least when I don't consume any water, or water with salt in it.
👍🏼
One month ago I watched this video, while reading all the success stories in the comments bellow and I decided to give it a try. Here I am now 7 kilos down (the equivalent of 15 pounds) and feeling great about it. Even though I'm not doing keto, I'm very happy with the results so far! Thank you dr Berg!
What if I'm going to workout? I need to eat protein
@@kitaha9540 just drink s protine shake as one of your meals on the omad diet followed by the rest of uour meal.
I’m glad you said that because I’ve been on keto for a while but I’ve reached a point where I’m stuck in my weight loss. Therefore I’m going for OMAD and just started today. I’m hopeful 🙏🏼
@@kitaha9540 he has a video about that too.
What time do you eat the one meal? Thank You 🙏
Big thank you 🙏 from me Doc, I’m a type 2 diabetic, your videos gave me clarity, direction and motivation. In 3 months I’ve turned the clock back 23 years lost 6 inches off my waist 40lbs lighter and turned my diabetes into remission, and in another 6 months I will be off the medication and dietetic free ... 🤗
How is your diabetes now?
wao God bless you....
On OMAD + Keto for 4 months, first two weeks were rough, then mind bliss - productivity & mood improved significantly - also eliminating the hassle & stress of constant meal prepping is another game changer, regret not doing this in my 20's.
"Mind Bliss"...Love it!
starting at the start of my 20's, been doing IF, looking to constantly refine & improve
What do you eat when breaking the fast?
omad with low carb I lost 22lbs in one month. It is magical.
Vikrant Arenja how much did you workout , how active..
Vikrant Arenja that’s great
Wow!!
Thats alot in a month I would think... but if you did it with a well formulated plan and exercise 2-3 times a week max then wow congrats!
How much workout?
One day I found Dr. Berg's channel by accident, and my whole fitness understanding changed for the better. Thank you Doctor 😊
I started a fasting regime May 1 at the encouragement of a friend. I weighed 250. I’m type 2 and 62. I’m a landscaper so I’m physically active. I live in Raleigh and it’s summer. At first I did 16/8 and ate whatever I wanted but didn’t over eat. Then I extended to 18/6. At that point I realized I could do OMAD. The last few weeks I put MCT oil in my morning coffee and a smidge of Italian sweet cream.. I drink water through out the day but I don’t crave water(to remain hydrated you have to constantly drink) and I’ve added Dr Berg’s electrolyte powder to my other water bottle. I’m watching my carbs closely but I haven’t been overly rigid. I take all of the recommended supplements advocated for my condition and as suggested. I use Goli and CBD. I pretty much eliminated bread, soft drinks, lunch meats, sugar,and most sweets,chips(replaced by a handful of Brazil,pistachio,walnuts before a meal and sometimes dark chocolate covered nuts( small amount) for something chocolate.)and all snacking. I go out to eat at least once a week and eat what I want and have a mixed drink or two.
Here are my observations,
I’m not hungry. I do look forward to my evening meal and I try to be finished no later than 8 pm if not sooner. I eat good tasty food with a mixture of items. You will be surprised at how little you eat even going 20 plus hours. I’ve studied better nutrition for me so it’s NOT boring. Hardest thing has been including eggs more into my diet. I eat large salads several times a week but I add ample amounts of blackberry and other berries. Meat and fish,nutritional yeast but fried salad onions too. I drizzle some olive oil and dressing,heavy fresh pepper and pink salt.
I’m not craving sweets or carbs at all. Since I’m not hungry I’m not snacking
The Southern heat is NOT melting me whereas in the past it would. Removed the sugar.
Aside from being 62 and doing physical work in the heat I feel great! My clothes are all loose on me( I’m a big guy) even tho I’ve only lost 15 pounds since starting. My target weight is 230(what I weighed 32.5 years ago when I got married) but my body is real happy now @235-240. I move like I’m half my age and have constant energy. My maleness issues have gone away and my wife is getting chased around the house again much to her chagrin. I will almost look forward to my next visit to the doctor. I know my numbers will be better!
I could turbo what I’m doing but I’m fine and strangely I’m really enjoying this experiment. I do not feel deprived of anything food wise. I’m not missing any of the foods I’ve cut out. I’m not having any trouble getting back on routine when I cheat a meal. Even when I think I might eat earlier than planned I end up still getting most of a full fast in.
Adding MCT may kill my fast but I don’t get hungry so I must be using my coffee concoction effectively for fuel throughout the day and I greatly enjoy my morning cup.
I’m a foodie y’all. Waffle House is my favorite restaurant. I love to eat. But as my friend told me” you get an insulin response from anything and EVERY TIME you eat.” “ Your body needs time to rest from over working digesting food”.” Try fasting!” This may have been a life saver for me. Some years ago I read( and still reference) a book named “ The Four Hour Body” by Tim Ferris. That book resonated with me just like Dr Berg and others on TH-cam have. Contemplate the information you watch here. Try it! Be steadfast bc it’s an investment in yourself!
I eat 7 meals a week. I used to go to the grocery twice a week. My bill was up there bc even tho I was trying to eat better,junk still ended up in my cart. Now I save at the store and I don’t feel bad about what I spend on my “ dinner” night!
I’m proud of myself for the discipline Ive adhered to. I’m not going backwards bc I’m enjoying all of this even if In not total keto.
Lastly I want to thank Dr Berg(and the others advocating for us all here on TH-cam) for their advice and encouragement. But I also want to thank everybody that posts. I read all of them and feel the camaraderie here!
Wow. I absorbed every word
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you I found your story very real and encouraging…
@ David ,well done ! Thank for sharing your story. I am 65 years old and doing my OMAD today. Just read all the comments for some encouragement. Thank you. It help in a way.
That’s awesome! Keep up the good work!
I'm on day 2 of OMAD. I'm going to watch this video every time I need some motivation.
I will start doing it on may, is it hard?
How do you reach your macros on omad
yakapo999...I did OMAD 2 years ago and i KNOW the benefits are real.I fell off the bandwagon and went back to eating anything anytime,i regret it. I'm starting again this week..Lets do this💪💪
I'm on day 17, and have lost 4kg (about 9lbs)! Stay focused on your goal
@@budgetbossrsawhat if i didn't wanna lose weight doing it?
And for those who prays, your prayers get answered quickly and you can meditate the word of God the whole day as u fast and pray...I started this fasting and im getting all benefits phsically, spiritually and Emotionally..
That's awesome. 15 000 children under the age of 5 die every day on planet Earth. Presumably many of their parents were praying for them. Maybe you can get the word out to them that they're not praying right or something.
@@pwilki8631 You're unnecessarily resentful now, buddy.
@@pwilki8631 why dont u donate some money to them or give food
Don't stop at 23 hours. Go a full 24 hours and gain an additional hour of prayer. Then one meal every other day, every 3rd day, etc. Forget about Karen Carpenter ...
@@st0a In your country is logic spelt "resent" and do you consider it unnecessary?
After three days of OMAD,I lost the hunger pains and the food obsession I had and am starting to feel better. 6lbs in one week is pretty freaking good. Yasss!
Great to hear!
Did u work out ?
ellie ღ I lost 6lbs in one week. I maybe did 200 push-ups the entire week. Just eating one healthy low carb meal at dinner time.
thegatesofsleep I wanna try it but what do u take in until it’s time to eat
Nice. When do you eat your daily meal?
I've been doing 2 meals a day for a long time and now have gone to 1 meal a day in 3 days I've dropped 9lbs..
So true with “euphoria” feeling. Laser focus, brain functioning is mind blowing.
Been at this for about a month. I lost 15 pounds and feel fine.
Update: I’m down to 157. That’s where I plan to keep it.
Ayeee well done!!!
@@UnknownUnknown-yl1lt Usually OMAD is a 23 hour fast with 1 hour eating window
@@davecabansay8965 ok..can I eat whatever I want in that hour?
Unknown Unknown Yes. You should be able to eat whatever you want in that hour and not gain weight. Although, you lose weight even faster if you try to limit your carbs and sugar. I’ve been doing this myself for a month now and lost 27 lbs. It’s great but I would consult a doctor first to see if this diet is right for you.
@@davecabansay8965 ok thank you for explaining it to me. I have alot of weight to lose. While I'm fasting for 23 hours..any tips on what beverages to consume? Or not to consume?
That euphoria you mentioned at the end - from personal experience with omad - is the beautiful spiritual side of fasting
I'm eating 2 meals I'm 4 hr window. I eat carnivore beacause of my autoimmune issue. I meal a days seems so difficult, what has helped you? Thanks
@@Shayne_T The Ketogenic Diet will make it easier
brother but like he mentioned at the end it's like you begin to feel this euphoria as you fast and disconnect from eating, and then you eat something again and that feeling goes away. part of me wants to just not eat at all
@@OlSkoolin I have to eat carnivore.. gut issues. I'm now eating OMAD and have completed a prolonged fast as well. Thank you
@@Shayne_T I think it's hard to get enough calories on one meal a day. If you do that every day you'll damage your metabolism. 2 meals in 4 hours is probably better for a sustained lifestyle.
I remember coming across this video a few months ago when I just started intermitting fasting and I'm so grateful I did. (16:8) I remember thinking to myself "okay, why not? I'm 26 years old, tried multiple "diets" and nothing has every worked for me." Now, 4 months later, I lost 20kg (44 pounds) The weight just melted off! I sleep better, have more energy, no cravings and less headaches. I don't think I will ever go back to eating 3 meals a day. OMAD is way of living for me. Oh and the best thing about it is: when I just started, everyone around me, friends and family, co-workers, thought I was crazy for "starving" myself. They didn't understand why I was doing what I was doing and to be honest they didn't really wanna understand either lol.
But now, once they saw you can still maintain a healthy body, while eating once a day, most of them looked into fasting and the health benefits of OMAD and started as well. Excited and happy about the positive impact that it has had and still will have in the future.
Did u eat carbs or one keto meal?
Good job
You're the weirdo at work who tells everyone what you eat every day. That makes it really easy to poison you.
Day 3 and i feel amazing, Gut, Skin, mood improvement already as well as oral health...Thank You Dr.Berg 👍🏾
Wonderful!
I was wondering why I have no more crazy sugar cravings! Wow! Been on OMAD for 2 weeks now and not once have I craved anything a sweet! I love it 🥰
"Ure gonna get a flat belly... which is really cool." 😂
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss flat belly omg yesssssssssssdd
Yeah when there's no food in your belly all day it definitely will get much flatter
I lost weight but can't get the fat belly
Coronavirus gots me wanting to loose my belly fat will it really work! 🤷🏻♀️
Is it with hashimoto?
I use eat one meal a day with maybe one snack for like 6 years. Started working overnight and started eating like 4 times a day and gained 30 pounds in like two months !!!! Body felt tired, uncomfortable, weighed down , confusion. I just stopped again my body and mind got tired of eating all that junk. Now I’m back to my regular self only one meal per day with a light snack. Not hungry don’t feel confused anymore skin back smooth and healthy plus I walk 3 miles per day. I crave fruits and veggies more. Guys put your body first. Put your life first. It matters and makes a difference save yourself
Do do carbs too?
R u still on overnights it's hard for me to stay on OMAD due to lack of sleep but I had success in the past with OMAD
Im 61 years old and I just started OMAD around 4 days ago and I’m already noticing some of those benefits Eric mentioned. Still early yet and I’m still feeling little hunger but not massive which is a relief.I’m feeling more energetic as well. I will keep you all posted in future with the results.
I thought I was tripping but he actually went through 13 twice 😂
@Sharan Shankar - Lol...me too. Had to rewind to make sure I wasn't losing it.
Haha me too. I was like wtf is going on 😂
Well, that's the side effect
Loooool I was thinking this sounds familiar 🤣
I re-listened to it a few times... to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
OMAD also help you to rise spiritually.... It helps you to grow in awareness
Fab! I'm already watching Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti non stop!
Yes this is so true. I can hear god better and think better !
@@monicalillis3294 can you explain what this is
I don't wasted the spiritual value of OMAD.
Absolutely!!!!! I feel high on the Holy Spirit daily!
Thanks Doc. Ive never ever had a successful weight loss, but once I started OMAD, I lost 10kg in the first month, while also feeling much better! You need to try this out!
24. Increased Confidence (after all those benefits, Confidence will come for sure, when you are healthy and good looking).
❤️✨
I've lost 15 lbs in about 5 weeks. Loving this!
😎😎😎😎
Congrats
I used to be such a skeptic about these diets (more like lifestyle changes) and I honestly thought it was really bad for you! But during my most desperate attempt to lose weight and reverse pre-diabete signs, it actually freakin improved so much! everything thats being said in this video really did happen to me!
I used to be a binge/comfort eater holding on to 200 pounds and I was 5'3 which is not good at all for someone with diabetes running in the family. Binge habits are gone, I can now turn away mcdonalds. I don't crave anymore junk. I already lost 14 pounds in a month, maybe thats not a lot in a month but wow the difference is huge. The euphoria is so real too, I can actually finish projects and feel motivated to finish things. Defintely worth it.
I’ve Ben on omad for about a month now. I have gone from 221lbs to today’s weigh in at 202lbs and counting. It’s so easy to do once you start. I eat virtually anything I want in that window. Plus my spinning on the bike and a light weight program workout routine.
7 months of IF and keto and the last two months of the 7 were OMAD. Lost 60 pounds. Just as strong if not stronger lifting weights. Mental clarity. Abs. Focus. Spiritual well-being. Libido up. Etc etc etc! Thank you Doc you are a godsend.
Hello! I've tried OMAD for 70 days, I weighed myself: 85kg..... After 70 days..... 73kg. 12kg lost. I must point out that I'ven't practiced any kind of sport whatsover.... Eating fully during one hour window, than nothing but water and black coffee (00 sugar) all through the 23h! It works!
I'ven't? Are you inventing a new language?
@@coybi Not everyone is native English speaker
Were you working out along with doing omad?
@@coybi 😂
from interminent fasting.. I am now upgrading to OMAD
Me too, been fasting for 1 week now and i've already lost 6.8 lbs.
Me too! Been doing 20/4 and decided today I'm going for 23/1! I'll weigh on July 1.
Me too!
Yeah me too, just happened naturally)
Me too. Intermittent fasting was huge for me, but found the more I ate, the more I wanted to eat. I imagine this is what I really need! Looking forward to this change.
A lot of what you mentioned would not have made sense to me when I was grazing like a cow but after experiencing it for myself I can only nod my head as you go through the list. Experience can be a wonderful teacher.
This is exactly how I describe my previous eating too. Eating grass all day like a cow. It kills us, we aren't supposed to eat like that
Over the past 15 years OMAD had been the only effective way around my dopamine driven binge eating disorder caused by my adhd
Do you have a video to reference the relationship between adhd and dopamine and their effects leading to poor coping mechanisms?
Same. I also got ADHD and suddenly developed binge eating habits, I quickly stopped and switched to OMAD. It's easier to avoid overeating on OMAD. I started 3 months ago.
Omg yes 24 years started 2weeks ago and i feel newborn 😂
I'm a muslim and we are obliged to fast during the month of ramadhan,but I also keep on fasting voluntarily and I really feel great first of all spiritually because I'm doing it to please Allah thus it gives me patience when I spend the day without eating ,and second I see phisical benefits the way dr.berg pointed out...and so far I have never seen a doctor throughout my life...Alhamdulilah!
I started this almost two weeks, ago. I will definitely follow this style of eating for the rest of my life if possible! I feel so much better!! I was struggling with emotional eating and nothing I tried was helping. I literally cried one day because I couldn't stop craving food. I felt so low and defeated. I started watching weight loss videos for motivation and stumbled across an OMAD video. I decided it was worth trying. I'm so happy I did. ALL of my cravings are gone!!! Sometimes, my mind will wander off to cake/pizza, the foods I was craving most, but I don't want them!!! I don't have to fight an urge. The thought comes and goes just as quickly. I haven't been glued to the scale. However, I feel lighter and better in general. I'm sticking with this. I drink between 3 liters and a gallon of water, everyday, too. It has been a great change for me!!! xo
Same for me. I would something think of those food but when it come to my eating time I'm not even interested I just want real food.
@Funkdafied 89 they’re saying they don’t want them
I wonder too if Cravings we get are even ours? So many commercials on tv and the internet for food its bound to make you get a craving.
For the past 13yrs people have been telling me it's not healthy, I've been doing this since mum stopped making my lunch in grade 8 and I was too lazy to. Awesome to hear I'm actually on a great diet plan!
Definitely improves the immune system, I only get sick once a year a week max, if at all. However I'm also on the pescatarian diet which aids that.
That's me
If you get sick, just do a dry fast for as long as possible. I think 3 days is enough
24. The best feeling is exercising in a fasted state. You can feel the lbs fall off. Besides that benefit it just feels great.
Before I heard of this
I done it and lost almost 100
Pounds
Reversed my diabetes
And don't have gas like I use to that created my anxiety
Listen to this man
It helps and works
I have been on Keto and intermitent fasting as per Eric video and lost 22 pounds in 2 months, yesterday I started OMAD with Keto and lost 3.2 pounds in 1 day, very happy.
I just started this a week ago. Helps me manage avoiding stress eating. My energy is up so far. Workouts improved.
Two week update - energy still good but I must eat very heavy protein and fat in the meal or I do not feel well at all. I’m staying away from carb heavy meals for now.
Two month update. I’m 4 pounds away from my goal. Still feeling fine. It’s starting to get hard to eat enough calories in one meal. Maybe stomach shrinking? I’ll be switching to two meals a day within 2 weeks.
I’m doing this and I’m losing about 1lbs a day,! I was 234ibs beginning of December and now down to 223Ibs! I feel great
Omad is great my husband lost 10 pounds is 5 days and exercise while doing it. He loves it. Now he want 2 continue for the rest of the month
I finally started loosing weight effortlessly with omad🥳😇😀
After how long? I mean how long ago did you start OMAD?
Meg I started Omar about a year ago but I didn’t do it faithfully. I started Omad faithfully about 4 months now and my weight stays down
@@jliz6435 Wow.. goodstuff.. thank you!!
How many calories per day?
@@abhijeet5076 You dont need to count calories with Omad. Try to eat healthy most of the time...
I started intermittent fasting 2 weeks ago and I’m down 15 pounds. I’m about ready to step it up to the OMAD plan. Thanks for the knowledge Doc! You’ve helped me a lot! I’ve been sharing your videos so hopefully that’s helping you also. ROLL TIDE!!!!! 💪😎
I'm on day 4. Days 1-3 were rough. This is the first day I just...didn't get hungry. I ate at dinner time mostly because I felt I should. Truly liberating feeling... Let's hope I don't return to the shackles of high carb grazing. Wish me luck!
I have been doing this for a few months, and it has totally transformed my life. I feel better, have more energy, less stressed, I am finally, ONCE and for all am off ADERROLL and I've been on it since i was a kid after a big car accident where i got hit by a car and landed in a coma. I feel so good it's unbelievable. I can't wait to see what this coming month will bring as way of weight loss!
That is amazing!! Congrats, did you continue?
Dr. Berg, you are the 'number one doctor' on TH-cam, this information is so valuable. Thanks a lot!

I tried OMAD after my blood sugar go up, immediately my blood sugar come down, but my friend told me this is risky, and then I found this video, now I have confidence to continue! Thank you so much!
I ve been on OMAD for a week and I can definitely say that I don’t have any hunger or any cravings and I definitely feel my mind much clear.
I wish I knew about this earlier in my life. I've changed my lifestyle and have now gone with omad and keto lifestyle. I have lost 28kg since February 2018 it's crazy I tell you, I feel great and have a positive attitude towards life.
I have been struggling with IF. I have been doing 16:8 and find it difficult to stay consistent and be disciplined. I’m on my 3rd day of OMAD and it’s MUCH EASIER! Just 1 meal a day so it’s more sustainable and simple to follow. I’m not as hungry as I am with 16:8. OMAD seems to be working so far! I gained 20 lbs during COVID and so far have dropped the water weight (4lbs). I hope I can keep it up and make OMAD my lifestyle 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How are you doing now ?
Lost 9lbs in 5 days. Did 39hr fast then decided to do OMAD. On day 5 of OMAD and feeling good!
Omg, I just left a comment saying the same thing. I lost 9 lbs by the 5th day of doing OMAD. But then the weekend arrived and I had three meals, very healthy ones btw. I'll keep practicing it until I make it a permanent habit, I feel I can do this forever with an occasional weekend break. 😊
@Lůna Paloma Nice! I didn't stick to OMAD but I kinda wanna go back!
@@Key_1111 It's hard sometimes, we just have to keep trying. I stopped doing it years ago, this time I'm sticking to it for good with God's help. 🙏🏾🤗
@@LunaPaloma77 We got this!!
I needed this right now. I'm only on day 3 of KETO + OMAD and I am super hungry. So, the reminder of WHY I'm doing this is so beneficial. Thanks for the video! You keep us INSPIRED Dr. Berg!!!
I absolutely love IF and this guy is my favorite IF MASTER.
In 3 months of life changing and 2 mos of IF I have gone from 230s to 179 from 3xl shirt to medium 54 waist to 36 and it's loose!!
I love love the lack of cravings.
That is amazing!!!!
That is amazing, great job, keep it up
You won me over on helps IBS….been suffering for over 50 years!

After a few days the inflammation in my back decreased tremendously, so no pain! It was almost immediate. My skin is clearer, I cannot wait for my anxiety to get better 😁
I just got done telling my wife about the inflammation in my back decreasing yesterday!
“Your gonna get a flat belly and that’s cool”......sold
This is 200% true. All of it. I save money, stay young, get strong and functions better mentally
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
I'm already having great results from this after 4 days- I've experimented with fasting for years trying to manage my diabetes and weight- including fasts up to four days- and I tried Omad before but getting through the work day without food was too difficult. Then four days ago I tried this but made the one meal during the week to be lunch, not dinner, and the pieces all fell into place. The meal looks like it will be later on weekends. My morning blood sugar on Tuesday was 180, which is a lot better than the 265 from a few weeks ago. This morning (Saturday) I had a blood sugar reading of 101. I have been eating low carb, but cutting from two meals to one made my blood sugar plummet- it seems like magic for diabetes- and for weight loss. I can't wait to see how this goes over the next few weeks. This video really adds so much motivation, but I have to call the doctor out for one thing- I think the pun was intended.
OMAD is the real deal! From 134lbs, now at 116lbs and this all happened in just a month. No exercise, I still eat carbs and a bit of sugar in my coffee. So happy with the result and I will continue this as a part of my lifestyle!
How tall are you?
So many people are starting New Year's resolutions today, and the most common resolution is weight loss. So this is a perfect video to start the New Year. Outside of adopting a low carb way of eating, consuming OMAD (One Meal A Day) has been one of the most effective tools for me to lose weight. I lost 65 lbs (going from 230 lbs to 165 lbs) in 10 months, just using a low carb diet alone, but keeping the same conventional meal frequency (i.e. 3 meals a day, plus a snack here and there). However, once I got to 165 lbs, my weight would not budge for nearly 8 months. Then, I had tried intermittent fasting by skipping one meal a day. This broke my plateau and I started to lose weight. Then, eventually I went to on just to do OMAD. I subsequently went on to lose an additional 30 lbs, bringing my grand total of weight loss to 95 lbs. I am now, as a 40 year old 5'6" man, thinner than I was than when I was in high school.
Great job, congratulations!
wow. very inspiring. many thanks for sharing.
congrats...now time to disciple others in this health realm....
Nice!!
No Joke. I lost 18 lbs in 5 days on OMAD! It's still hard for me to believe. But I weigh myself every morning and the numbers don't lie.
- My 1 meal every day is at 12pm. I ensure my 1 meal always includes a little fruit, healthy protein and a some kind of green veggie. I drink teas and water and feel so happy that I've lost so much weight in such a short time! I feel proud of myself for being disciplined. Disciple has been the 1 main area in my life that was lacking. Praise God for the strength to try this. If I start feeling anxious or hungry I take a little break and do some deep belly breathing or listen to some relaxing medication music. I get more done in the day, more productive. Overall, this is great. My goal is to do this for like 6 months to loose some major weight, then to switch to 2 meals a day.
- I'm so grateful for this!
I started this when all could afford to eat was once a day and never stopped when I could afford to do better I feel great and have100 percent more energy mentally and physically.
i was so depressed after i gained around 40 pounds due to stress and i started eating really unhealthy , late after work , and also i have a really slow metabolism so i decided to start OMAD after watching one of dr Berg’s videos and rolling 48 hour fasts so since october 26th i am down almost 30 pounds , i am feeling energized, i sleep better, no more mood swings , and my back pain completely disappeared..
3 months in. I'll never go back.
☺
Still going strong?
Do you mean you’ll never go back to doing this again, or never going back to your old ways? 🙂
Update. Lost 12 kg in 5 months. now solid 95kg. I'm 192cm. I did started to have headaches. I eat little dried banana with porridge etc in the morning. And my main meal 5pm(I eat loads of veg chicken turkey you name it. Every now and then maybe couple times a month I'll have junk food. But its not a treat. There is nothing good about it. Mindset is everything. human body is amazing. No more energy drops in more nothing no more nothing I'm an animal.
@@a.s945 ...sorry, AS, but if you eat porridge in the morning you're not really doing OMAD.....sounds fine and I'm sure it works for you, but it's not OMAD.....
I can’t believe how easy this is. I have had weight problems my entire life that I was only able to lose with extreme exercise. I have done this for about 4 days and I have already lost 3 lbs. This is with no exercise at all due to it being painful because of a busted L4 back disc. The first 48 hrs is very hard and you may be a little nauseous. Once you get past that you become less hungry.
Hi Dr Berg.
Thanks a lot for your videos.
Was obese and had acne and many health issues and overweight 105.5Kgs.....Started OMAD on 1 November 2023 and now today after 30 days down to 97.5 and health has also improved.
Thanks a lot sir.
So true!! My skin was glowing day 4 already.. I eliminated my dark spots completely in the last month of OMAD! Best decision I’ve ever made for both my body and mind!
You just sold me on this idea!
Dark spots- really? Wow!
Fighting with melasma for ages, I'm in with this diet, thank you for the encouragement!

I actually fell into IF without knowing it: Being a teacher, I found I wasn't able to eat at lunch time because of my busy schedule with work preperation and always having to set up the next lesson before the children came in for the afternoon. It was something I did daily and because I have never eaten breakfast for much the same reason, it became a pattern I grew into. I now feel blessed in a way that IF has benefited me in more ways than I knew. And it is with interest I have been able to see Dr Berg's videos on IF to discover even more about this as a benefit. I have stayed slim and intend to continue with IF. Thank you for all you do with helping to enrich us all with such knowledge and information- from UK
