most amazing teacher i have seen so far and your, info has given me the guidance i needed to fix my metabolism and leave diabetes behind, and i am for ever grateful.
thank you :-)
now if i could only get over my 32 hour fasting limit...
salt water doesn't help to shut up ghrelin any more and, i tried to cheat with doing a fat fast, but after i have oil's and or butter, an hour or two later i still feel hungry, i am currently doing OMAD on carnivore, i want to get to one meal every 48 hours and do this for a year in order to revers insulin resistance, any tip's?
Hey Sten, i am extremely thin. Almost underweight. But, i am also diabetic. Will OMADs still work for me? I fear further weight loss which I i easily do. I exercise regularly as well. Kindly advise.
I have been eating once a day for years. I currently am way underweight. If I didn't eat for 3 days I would never want to eat again.

Dr. EKBERG, I've been on Omad (w/very low carbs) since mid october. My weight dropped from 217 - 170. I'm a senior citizen who now wears my pre-pandemic skinny jeans again! Thank you.
👏👏👏
Wow!! 🙌🏼
What does a plate of food for you look like?
Nice job Bro! Takes dedication don’t give up 💪
u
Update, I wrote to you some time ago, weighted myself on Jan8, 2022. Went from 422 to 273 in 12 months. There are no words to express how much me and my family thank you. I have been OMAD for 4 months now and at age 51 I fell so much strong and better. Good quality sleep, walking 30 miles a week, fat adapted, no sugar plus a healthy KETO regime have changed my life. That last advise is pure gold.
That's quite inspiring.
Wow, congrats!!
Awesome 👌
Happy for you
Incredible achievement! Keep up the great work.
I started eating once a day 15 years ago, simply because I was broke at the time. I workout regularly and at 45 I am in the best shape of my life and don’t feel the need for 3 heaping plates of food, 3 times a day. It’s amazing to see that the science behind it proves I’ve been doing the right thing this whole time. Cool!!!!!!
What is your experience sir for omad
Oh ma goshh you must look and feel amazing!!! Congrats🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Can you tell us about your OMAD experience Please
What do you eat, if I may ask
I noticed going back to 4 or 5 meals a day, small or medium kicked up my sugar and I don't get morning wood like I did on OMADs. Going back to OMADs.
Today I lost 5 kg by doing OMAD for 3 weeks. I am finally under 100 kg now and so proud! 🎉
Thank you for your great work! ❤
congrats! how is your journey going so far? any new updates or insight?
@@frankiekawaii6163 hey thank you very much! Lost another 5 kg by not doing OMAD very regularly. I'm doing OMAD 4 days out of every week and now keto on these days too. I love to have it as a component of my diet strategy and it works very well.
@@sim.pression8511 I'm so happy for you! Would you share what your schedule of eating is?
Hey Sim.pression, very encouraged by your results. Am curious though, how is your OMAD meal structured?? Is it very balanced in nutrients or heavily protein-based like keto diet. Also ~ how many calorie did this meal make up??
@@jaminthebeats I eat whatever I want and how much I want. Lost another 4 kg since my last update and the weight is still going down. I lost 10 cm on my hips since the beginning. It's a livestyle now and I love it! 🍀
just want to say that I have followed your advice and you honestly may have saved my life...
I was 287 pounds with a 90 resting heartbeat and a average of 165 / 90 blood pressure WITH medications.
I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I saw one of your videos and starting to put your methods into practice. It has been 3 and a 1/2 months and I am down in weight from 287 pounds to 228 pounds! My resting heart rate has gone down to 77 beats a minute! My blood pressure has gone down to 120 / 70 and my blood sugar never goes past 100 even when i eat! (Says around 80 while fasting).
I cannot express my gratitude enough Sir, you have My respect and I truly believe in your truth because I live it!
(My apologies but I am going to post this same comment on your other videos in the hope you will see it or that it may inspire someone else).
That's great! Good for you and keep up the hard work.
Wow
I m also gonna start today
Fantastic
That's so amazing!
This is very inspiring! Thank you!
I'm very obese at 256 lbs and 5 ft 3, I'm on my second day of eating only between 10 and 2, it's rough late afternoon, but better around 7. I'm going to give it my all! I've already seen a drop in my blood sugar, from 265 at my highest to 118 this evening.... It's working, just pray for my will power.
I hope your journey is going well!
I’m on day 6 & 205.8 this am. So down 6lbs from last week.
You can do it! You're stronger than you know.
I’m doing it… make it your life style… you can do this, a day at a time…😊 you’re not alone so let’s do it!
In two months I went from 219 to just 178 at 5”10. Feel great.
@@paddyg3892 41 pounds in just 2 months?
Female. Age 47. Hypothyroidism, Lupus, Fibromyalgia. Everything else. At my heaviest, I was 267. I am now 196, and still going. That's 71 lbs. I'm still on a whole bunch of meds, but maybe not forever. We'll see. OMAD changed my life. Once you start, it's easy to keep doing it forever.
I need an update please. Thank u
I went from XXL to XS in 1 year coz of Omad, no sugar, dairy, gluten. I love my hot body as much as I loved it when it was obese. Self love is self mastery! 😁
Congratulations 😊 very inspiring
Wow that's fantastic!
No sugar, dairy, and gluten are my hard parts. I can do omad just all the other stuff that's the hardest. Congrats to you though
🎉 periodddd 💪🏾🔥 okayyy
@@shirlysmilesmusic6919 I ate 100 grams of protein & for dessert a couple of dates, walnuts, almonds, an orange, dark chocolate or banana with honey & crunchy peanut butter, all within an hour. I naturally quit craving carbs/sugar/dairy after that. Hope this helps.
I've been eating once a day for a long time because i said to my self "you don't need all this food you just need to stay alive" 😅 and that changed me for better.
how to stay alive,,, too fat dont eat too skinny eat,,,
True. I have been doing once or 2 small meals a day. I want to try alternate day fasting. I have done it but not maintained it. Hard but doable
So simple yet so profound . Thanks for this .
😅
I've been eating one meal per day for a few years now. I only get hungry once a day. I used to get hungry every couple hours in the past. Snacking throughout the day. You can definitely adapt your body.
Thank You Sara A. Indeed. Thanks for sharing 😄
Snack well
Sara you are absolutely right about that
I been eating once a day for about 5+ years... i went from 185 to 130 but i am now stable at 150 at 5'11 height, male btw.
@@ObeyaCorpsArmory That's amazing. Well done! 💜 The only downside to eating once a day for me is that I'm underweight. But I can't force myself to eat twice a day since my meal is high in fat so I feel satiated. How do you maintain your weight?
On my 25th day of OMAD. From size 12-14, I'm now size 10-12. Looking forward to size 8-10! Loving it!
Awesome! Are you on keto too?
How? I can't resist. My hands shake!
Hello, are you still alive ?
I have just passed the 30 day point, one meal per day and drinking nothing but water in between. Started out 105kg (about 210lb) and this morning down to 96.6kg (about 192lb).
It's not hard & it works! First 4 days felt pretty hungry, but that disappeared by day 5 or 6. Only issue I had was day 4 through 10, I had a constant headache, no idea what causes this, but it was quite bad. It disappeared literally overnight on about day 11 or 12.
@@ozymandias7940could we eat some fruits or plain yogurt in between or just water only? Thank you!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg I've been on omad for over a year now...I went from 212 to 160 lbs. and I'm light on my feet again....😮🎉 At 62 I'm at the same weight I was in high school, with almost the same energy...🙏🏻
Wow! Your comment is an inspiration to me. I am 50 and just started OMAD recently. Am looking forward to weighing the same as I was in high school.
I have been eating once a day, also doing carnivore for the past few months. So many amazing things have happened, down 26lbs, sleep soooo much better and totally cured my anxiety. Also I save so much money doing OMAD!!😃🤓🥰
Love eating meat 🍖 great with omad. For me when I finally eat I can have a big steak and a couple eggs won't even cross my mind til about the same time next day
Was there any challenges on the way?
@@owenthomas9863 being hangry 🤣🤣but slowly I got used to it
Thank you The 5 Minute Body for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. Keep it up! 😄
So, no veggies at all? Only meat and eggs?
Edit: total 22 kg lost. (I stopped measuring weight but I will after a month or 2 may be)
Edit 2: The first three months, I was losing good weight. In Fourth it was like my body got used to IF LCHF, didnt lose a Kilo. I got afraid. But now Alhamdulillah again my body is on swing as I started OMAD LCHF. As Doc Sten said, we should do same.
Original Comment: In 20 days of Intermittent fasting at first, walking, lchf and no sugar i lost 13 kg. I started on 18th December after watching your video first time. But as i am very fat, nobody is noticing my weight loss. Thank you Doc. Now i am doing OMAD.
Wow well done 👏 ❤
@@loz3135 thank you
Good job!! Keep it up, get good at starting over when you slip. You are worth the time and attention. God bless ❤🙏❤
@@judymiller5154 thank you very much and for blessings ❤
I wish you all the best, I did this and it does work, stick with it
I have been a very heavy sugar eating person through out my life as my shop is opposite famous sweets shop in Delhi . I was 67 kg at age of 23 and now 110 kg at age of 52 . After seeing this and some other your videos I have reduced my sugar intake to less than 10% of my previous intake and lost 2 kg weight in few days . I am becoming more energetic . And this is only starting . Now I plan to reduce more than 20 kg . Your way of explaining is Excellent .
It worked for me. Down 30 lbs and my type 2 diabetes is nearly reversed. Thanks Dr. Ekberg! I will continue to eat this way. Feeling good!
Hi I take medication in the morning with food most days do you suggest i eat my meal early or later?
We’re u still taking your medication??? Or were u completely off and focused on the diet??
@@Woodworkjunkieyou can reverse diabetes by staying away from sugar, seed oils and doing daily fasting. You want to eat a mainly animal based diet like eggs, yoghurt, red meat, cheese etc
I'm about to embark on a 21 day fast with my church... I plan eat only once per day, no sugar, no dairy, no processed foods, will be waking up early to work out and pray. I am looking forward to the health and spiritual benefits!!!! Thank you dr.
What meal are you planning to eat?
Only breakfast?
Ramadhan fasting month is a muslim 30 day fast but usually 2 meals are allowed but most people over eat.
So I hope to plan a 30 day healthy ramadhan fast this year..may be take a good breakfast( I am vegetarian) and for my night meal I will only drink a glass of milk.
God willing i hope to do that.
Could you share how you plan to fast?
Would like to learn from all cultures.
Hindus too fast but its fruits and milk 2x a day.
@@billi16 I am planning to only eat dinner at 5 or 6pm.
During the day I'm going to have electrolyte which is sugar free, black coffee, water and herbal teas. For my meal will be protein and lots of veggies (I'm insulin resistant so no processed carbs for me, no rice, bread, etc) wash down my meal with some water and maybe have some berries for dessert and that's it.
@@ftmb1022 thank you very much.
God bless you.
Try waking up at 4am if possible.
Its a real spiritual time for prayers.
Take care dear.
@@billi16 thank you!!! God bless you as well. I pray your fasting time will be a great one!!!
I only eat once a day, mostly a homecooked meal at 6 pm.
This I've done för several years, and it works fine with me, a 71 years old geezer.
I m just 30 n i m just getting started .
Can you have coffee in the mornings and still do OMAD? I am thinking I will have an evening meal, but I really love my coffee. I have Lupus, and had to have a mitral valve replaced four years ago due to inflammation in my heart from Lupus, but also damage because I had rheumatic fever as a child back in the 60s. Also, menopause has set in and I am gaining weight in my bust. Not cool because it is a horrible load on my shoulders and back. I need to drop 15 pounds. Going to start this week OMAD this week.😊
@@melodyortega489 Yes you can have coffee in the morning. Black coffee.
But why call yourself an "ol geezer"...this is not who you are..!!
@@melodyortega489 like you I have lupus. I'm wondering how this would work.
Been eating OMAD since I was 21 I’m now 54. People always said I was doing harm to myself but it was the way I ate and couldn’t change it! I always have energy and feel great.
Awesome!
I've had issues at work being incredibly tired especially after lunch. I'm 48 and have a few issues including inflammation of my patella ligaments. I started 3 weeks ago eating one meal a day in the evening. Within 2 days the tiredness stopped. And within a week I just didn't think about eating during the working day.
I'm definitely losing my belly and lower back fat ever so slightly but it's evident 3 weeks in.
I look forward to the results after 3 months.
Since I started intermittent fasting in September I've lost 2 stone and came down from 36 inch waist to 32 inch and all this weight loss is down to your one video on the benefits of doing intermittent. Forever in your debt
Dr Sten does not keep score. He gives from the heart. TYVM and KUTGW Dr Sten.
Similar here. 2.5 stone, waist from 38 to 33.

What is a typical meal once a day to get the right nutrition?
@@Leahhthebest Chicken or meat or eggs (whole), sautéed broccoli, brown rice (w/olive oil) or a baked potato (w/butter), guacamole, Swiss/Jarlsberg-like cheeses, seltzer, berries, nuts, dates. That is my typical meal template. Yes, I eat huge for 1 hour a day. But I lift 4x per week. Other options are fish, chicken salad (w/mayo), ham salad (w/mayo), lentil soup, green beans, ricotta, Ronzoni gluten-free pasta with sauce, gluten free ice cream. No wheat/rye/barley!! Never, ever!!
@@robbyt5893 Thank you so much for this detailed answer! I love some inspiration!
@@drekberg I do 18/6, should I just start with OMAD or should I lose weight first on doing 18/6? I have to lose 100lbs. Please help.
I'm in my third month of OMAD and I'm down almost 50lbs. It's the best decision I've ever made when it comes to my health. I'm sleeping better and my relationship with food has improved so much. The only exercise I do is 10k+ steps a day. And I can eat what I want. I need to lose somewhere between 30-50 more lbs. And thanks to OMAD I will do it!
Hi Zoiee90, thanks for your input. I kind of tried OMAD but fell off the wagon along the way...your results are very encouraging and uplifting to hear 😀
Awesome, Sis! You got this 💪🏿💪🏽❤
Totally agree, it's the relationship to food that has to be changed! I use food emotionally and I've been training myself to undo this. I've been prepping my body into omad and I'm in the last stretch of doing a 72 hr fast. Because I prepped towards it, it's not been as hard.will revert back to omad to mix things up and then either do occasional 48 or 72hrs here and there😉
You can do it guys!
So encouraging! Do you drink coffee in addition too?
Man. I normally don't comment. Let me tell you, your way of explaining things is really on point.
So detailed and is done step by step,in order to understand everything and why.
English is not my first language and the explanation are so clear to understand.
This video and all the rest of the channel is amazing.
Thank you for your work
I've been doing OMAD since 2019. There are so many benefits to eating this way. I have learned a lot about my body, nutrition and energy in doing so. I love it and definitely intend to continue this as a lifestyle. I used to think hunger would just get progressively worse and worse until eat, but the opposite happens. I no longer get hungry throughout the day. I've done away with the need to snack and I don't have to be a slave to fast food when traveling. Preparing food is a joy, now. I can put thought into what I eat and eat more deliberately. When I lay out my plate, I can get a total view of what I am putting into my body for the day.
So your doing it for years? Did you lose weigth?
I can tell you my experience but im a bit of a cold turkey guy hahaha i started with time restricted eating 2 meals in 4-6 hours for a week and it was ok maybe because i don't really like eating, after that i just started omad and never had a problem with hunger. Had a few tea cup and one coffee during the day and its ok, also excersise helps makes me last longer without eating. In terms of weight loss i went from 120kg to 76kg in like a year maybe 10 months but keep in mind it was after retiring from pro rugby eating 6 times a day lol, now im at 86kg looking muscular and feeling better than ever. I'm also doing 5-7 days fast every 6 months or so
@walkwithme After a couple weeks I felt like I had a pretty good system down and it started becoming easier, but it wasn't really until 2-3 months that it really became comfortable. And I'd say it took a full year before I became totally adapted and I stopped giving it a 2nd thought. It was fully a habit by then and just as easy (if not easier) than eating "normally."
@@alenaduplantier4505 My goal wasn't weight loss. I was pretty close to my ideal weight, perhaps 10 lbs over. I'm right at my ideal weight now. I have noticed that I don't have to extend any special effort to maintain my weight. It stays right where it should. Whether I eat high carb meals with a lot of calories, or low-carb ketogenic meals, my body weight holds very stable. I'm 5'9" and 145lbs. I do eat large portion sizes, usually 2000 cal+ meals. I try to incorporate a lot of protein (meat) and a medium to medium-low amount of carbs, but I don't always follow this formula.
Nicely written..thanks...i feel the same about this kind of eating....i never have been an emotional eater and feel obliged more and more to give my wonder body real stuff with which he can work to keep me healthy....especially helping to cure my fatty liver which i got bc of Chemotherapie ....i Love cooking now and enjoy all these plates with different tasting food....
My BMI dropped from 31.1 to just over 24. Male 70 5'10". I now walk 5 to 10 (or more) miles a day. I no longer use any alcohol, fruit juices, breads, pasta or sugars. I have done this under medical supervision. My A1c was 5.7 (prediabetic) i am checking it again for a reduction in 3 weeks.
Let me know how your results go. Cheers
Yeah but you don't really need medical supervision when you practice any kind Regiment of fasting... the reason you should not get doctors involved who don't understand the concept of fasting because they will tell you to stop. That's the problem with a lot of doctors he want you to be sick they don't want you to practice fasting.. example of a couple years ago there was a video on TH-cam from the channel called the doctors there was a guy named Cole who had a very high amount of people who practice fasting and lost over 70 lb. Regardless of all the results these doctors kept saying that fasting is dangerous is dangerous that they should stop it.. the consulate did not listen to the person that was on the podcast they kept saying medical study medical study medical study that fasting is dangerous but they were referring to a study that never published not to mention it was never peer-reviewed about two days ago dr. Eric Berg actually discussed the study how it's completely absurd that people are using this study as an example to say that fasting is dangerous.. if you were to write a paper on fasting and you use that medical study you would get a big fat fail on your paper because that medical study has no information whatsoever all of it is is a abstract with no real scientific data attached to it
So where are you at now?
Thanks to your channel I've been on OMAD + Keto for over a year now, 30kg down, super healthy, never hungry and great mood! thank you Sten!
Wow I envy you I will do that also
Stable levels of hunger makes it so easy to do!
I’m a Buddhist. This is what we call normal eating.
That's amazing what tactics do you use when you may feel hungry after your 1 meal? 😊
@@marycruzg.2349 The tactics all Buddhists use: sit down, analyze this thing you call “hunger”. It is not what it seems. When you cultivate your mind, these baser cravings have WAY less power over you. You enjoy thinking about what hunger is way more than actually eating. Namo Buddhaya
Once a day is fine. I’ve been doing it for 3 months. I’m also doing keto and exercising. Never felt better. Great videos, Dr.Ekberg!
What do you eat once a day Travis?
@@jennifermccullough775 Lately I’ve been having triple cheeseburgers with bacon mayo sugar-free ketchup and avocado on lettuce buns. Not kidding. I have one or two of those after 8 pm.
@@travismcmullins6109how are your farts?
I have done ADF for last 18 months & lost 82lbs of fat, currently i'm on day 5 of a 10 day fast. This is my first go at prolonged fasting & because I'm fat adapted I'm finding it very easy. Great video Doc.
ADF mean fasting 36 hour's?
I've been lo carb, no sugar since beginning of pandemic and lost the 10-12lbs I've always wanted. Do IF everyday and only made it as far as 42 hours once prolonged fast. I did lose 3 lbs from that though.
Great job!
@@gayathriangel4252 No, it means you eat every other day.
Make sure you get those minerals, at least salt/potassium and magnesium. Unless you're doing a complete dry fast. Makes for a much more pleasant experience :)
@@gayathriangel4252 no ADF stands for alternate-day fasting.. basically you are most likely doing the 16/8 fasting you fast for 3 days or 4 days a week you fast for 16 hours and then 48 Hours you eat maybe you have one small meal after you fast and then you wait for hours and you eat again etc..
I just don't understand if you are one of those people who fast as well I don't know how you don't understand the definition of ADF
I'm on Day 3 and I FEEL GREAT!!! It's just as EASY as you say it is!!!! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence I needed along with all the science behind WHY I'm doing it. I push through any hunger; it only lasts about 10 minutes and like you say, "It's only hunger," LOL! LOVE YOU, DR EKBERG!!!! P.S. I'm a 51 year old woman and NEVER fasted AT ALL before and I just dove right in with OMAD, no problem.
Update: I've done two more 3-day fasts and a 4-day fast since this first time 2 months ago. I know it's excessive, but I'm dealing with a histamine intolerance problem (massive one, actually, with severe asthma as my histamine response). I still stand by my original comment; it's truly easy to go without food, so easy, in fact, that I wish I never had to eat again! My problem would be SOLVED COMPLETELY! Except then I'd have a different problem, LOL.
Hi folks..I'm 5hrs into my just fluid for 3 days...water t.cofee.soup....has any any tips plz???
I love omad! No hunger full of energy! 55 here looking 25!

Rise and shine, it's "one meal a day" time for the next 30 days! Have been doing it for years now, OMAD 4 or 5 times a week! Definitely a lifestyle change for the better! 💪😁 Stay fit, stay healthy!
What is an example of the meal you would have
@@darvhernandez1 Today's late lunch and my only meal of the day was wild salmon, 2 eggs, sauteed mushrooms, 1 avocado, pickled cucumbers, and parmasian cheese. All drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with dry oregano and himalayan salt.

For desert had a hand full of organic dry raisins and two pieces of dark chocolate.
So is an omad meal like a regular meal or as many calories as you have for the day?
@@wendywelsh8729 I do need to eat high nutrient dense food for OMAD to work! Foods like salmon, eggs, liver, avocado, coconut butter, olive oil, macadamia nuts, red beats or broccoli sprouts! Our body becomes very efficient at expending energy when eating OMAD and nowadays I just need to eat a 1250 to 1400 calories meal a day without loosing any body weight! And I still workout (HIIT) every other day, in a fasted state and always full of energy! I've been practicing OMAD for years now and it works just great with me!
I like your explanations so much. Learning about OMAD was like a paradigm shift in my thinking about my eating behavior. Never thought this would be possible on a regular basis. I started doing this and after 3 days I can say: I'm not really hungry, I've lost 2.5 kg and I'm feeling better. So I'm planning to go on with this. Another habit change is to watch at least one of your videos a day to keep my motivation alive. Thanks & wish you all the best! ❤👌😊
Thank you ! I spend almost whole day working at PC. And all my colleagues have breakfast and then , exactly at 11.00 they go to lunch but NOT because of hunger , but because it is 11.00 AM. I have been accustomed to this several decades . 2 weeks back I started to skip the lunch. Even after 2 weeks my mind is much better, my senses are great , I have also changed the structure of food (salads , vegetables , LC food , lot of green tea , water with lemon )... I am not only happier. I am younger , lighter , much less tired .... thank you so much. Of course , everyone should use brain and listen to his/her body . Enjoying life. Also my stress and depression are off . ❤
Right on Doc! I went on a OMAD regime this time last year, I'm down >25lbs and sitting right at my ideal weight. My wife and I found that occasionally when meal time rolled around we weren't really hungry yet. Those days are when we skipped another meal and just waited 'til the next day (48 hour fast) to eat. That will absolutely break any plateau in weight loss and you'll start heading down again.
This video is right on the mark!
How do I do one meal a day? How do I incorporate all my calories in 1 meal? Eat lower carb diet any help would be appreciated have around 30 pounds to lose. Need all the help I can get please. Congrats on the weight loss!
@@EricaMiller-wn4vj Dr. Ekberg has some great video's on getting started OMAD. Basically closing the eating window from eight hours to six, four, two and finally one hour. As for calories I never count them anymore. Just cut out as much of the carbs and sugars as you can and eat 'til you're satisfied. My wife always has a giant bowl of green salad at the meal. We load up on the greens as we go.
Anyway, it isn't all that difficult. Good luck!
I eat once a day. Around lunch time. For around a year and a half. I am definitely feeling much better! And the change only took a couple of weeks to change mind patterns. No way I would change now. Its a way of life.
I’m going to make this short and sweet. For years I’ve exercised off and on I would lose a little weight, but once I stopped it would come back. My highest weight was 255 lbs. I’m 6 feet tall. Most people would not have considered me fat they would call me solid. I had 3 ahh moments, first I went to a gym for an evaluation the trainer said losing weight is more about what I eat than exercise, then a couple of years later I went to join a gym closer to home I thought I was in pretty good shape. The trainer had me do a few exercises I felt like I was going to puke up my guts. Then my doctor told me my blood pressure was a little high. These were my wake up calls. I’m not sure how or when I started intermittent fasting, but it was a total game changer. I went from 255 lbs. to maintaining 200 lbs. I notice my body would fight me at 200lbs, my goal was to get to 180, so 2 months ago I decided to cut sugar out of my diet no more cakes and cookies. I’m now down to 180 all of my weight markers are green except for my subcutaneous fat, I may need to get to 175. I would have never thought I could lose my gut (visceral fat) I have. I went from an extra large to a medium. My stamina has never been better. This is my testimony to intermittent fasting. P.S. I remember buying and drinking cartons of orange juice, never drinking soda thinking it was healthier. I’m so glad people can be educated on things that I was ignorant too. Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Today is my 23rd day of one meal a day plus. Twice 48hours fasting. I started it because of you Dr. Sten. Thank you.
Hi, great to hear you made it 23 days, would you share your results please, I'm about to start onad and aiming for 21-28 days.
@@jj3839 Hello, it's been more than two months now since I posted. I'll feeling great. I loss 12kg in one month. I'm doing OMAD once in a while. you have to start OMAD as soon as possible.
I'm starting Friday, I'm excited to get going with it now, especially hearing all these positive results, congrats on what you've achieved, amazing discipline 👏
I did OMAD IF for several months and loved it. My only problem-and it was a big one-was that I could not consume sufficient and nutrients. So I started a 2MAD eating plan and it also works for me.
I’m so incredibly glad I found your channel and began listening to your teachings, Dr. Ekberg. I’ve been doing OMAD with the Ketogenic diet for the last 5 months and have so far lost 60 pounds (246-186) and am in the best shape of my life! Thank you so much for putting out this life saving information for all to hear
Update: Hit a plateau around 9 months in but that’s okay because I lost a total of 80lbs! I can’t remember the last time I weighed below 170!
I started the same thing and in the first week I went from 218 to 210. I give myself an eating window from 7pm to 9 pm.Carb craving is now starting to diminish.
Hi I’m doing this my second week I only lost .5 kg did this happen to u too ? My first week I lost 3 kg ??
How much calories you eat per day during OMAD ?
@@dignitytrue428 probably between 1300-1600 cals, but I don’t really count calories too much. Instead, I eat slowly until I’m full
Started intermitting fasting 3 weeks ago, starting weight was 344, lost 22 pounds so far, never thought the weight would come off so fast. Started the first week with 16/8 then, then the second and third week I was doing one meal a day and felt great. Getting much easier and am planning to keep on doing OMAD.
Awesome!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Go!

Yes. His voice and pace of speaking is very soothing. The way he breaks down everything and shows how our bodies truly are incredible totally captures my full attention!!
I started following 3.5 months ago after one video caught my eye. It had a screen shot with a tag “blurred vision”. I watched it and it changed my life. I can’t believe how beneficial the fasting has been. Lately i noticed how much sharper my mind it too. I was getting used to being forgetful. Now I’m actually surprised how well I focus multi-task. At 62 this has been like being reborn. Weight is coming off slowly. I have had blood work done and it’s better than ever. I’m fortunate that I didn’t have a lot of issues but the blurred vision is completely gone and I have increased night vision like I did when I was much younger. Thanks for what you provide in these videos. Life saving and life changing.
I used to believe I had to eat 3 to 4 meals a day because that's the way I grew up knowing . In my culture rice 🍚 & flour is a way of life used to eat flour in morning, rice for lunch rice for dinner 🍽 or flour sometimes . I'm sure I was pre diabetes even had some of the symptoms . See after watching yr videos 📹 I'm eating 1 meal a day & the thing is I'm not feeling hungry the way I used to I'm off the flour, sugar, rice & I feeling great . Many thanks to u Dr Ekberg 🙌 🙏 ...

Watch Dr. Mindy Pelz. She targets women and has advice for post menopausal women.
Women need to cycle fasts, not do the same every day. ❤
Yes I agree, women should not fast at all during their 7-8 days before menstruation, maybe try implementing some non fasting days (1 week per month) keto and see if it makes a difference. ❤

I feel lethargic most of the time. 😷
@@herrweiss2580 I feel perfectly fine. Full of energy and no energy crashes at all, just once 10pm comes around do I get tired and go to bed. Pretty fine in terms of morning wakefulness, once I awaken after about 10 minutes or so I'm wide awake and alert. Still drink coffee in morning, but only out of habit (but only one a day before 12 noon). Exercise performance is fine as well, no issues, but I do pergressive overload and once I hit my limit I finish and don't push past that to avoid injury. I can walk long distances, most days I do at least 5 mile walks and a few sprints in between. I am on amostly carnivore or heavy meat based diet as well. Msotly eating ground beef, bacon, pork ribs, pork belly, pork fillets, eggs, organs, raw cheese and milk kefir and some poultry the odd time.

I have been eating one meal a day (low carb high protein) for the last 3 months, I've lost 28lbs and halved my blood sugar level from 12 to 6. The most amazing change had been the fact I no longer feel hungry all the time, and have increased energy levels, and now seem to only need about 6 hours sleep every night.

Down 7 pounds the first week and I’m so happy and I feel great. This has not been hard for me at all. Thank you again Dr. for these informative videos.
any update?
How’s it going ?
Did you continue on your diet plan? How much have you lost
Update?
I've been cutting my carbs way down, my sugar intake is almost gone. My pain level has been way down in just a few days. Being have Arthritis and oher things, I've hardly take any meds. I just had to bite the bullet and do it. I listen to Dr. Ekberg through out the day for inspiration. I also get inspired by all you people too. May we all keep inspiring each other. Blessings 😊
Hello from Egypt 😊
I did often IF and OMAD and started fasting for 36 hours recently and I feel much better. Thank you for this informative video ❤️
Our bodies are so wonderfully designed.
It's amazing to me how they can heal themselves on so many levels after years of abuse. Thanks be to God!
And thank you Dr Sten, for telling us how it all works so we can be healthy and live wonderfully productive lives.
Dr Ekberg. I started OMAD with keto diet since October last year. my average weight was 81kg at that time. I tried to be on my plan most of the days. at least I completed 4 keto OMAD days per week. now I'm 62kg. thanks a lot for good guidenec and motivational videos. 💪❤️
Been doing OMAD-Keto for 5-6 days a week for the last 5 weeks. Never crave and rarely hungry, even when I don't get to eat as much as I would like for that one meal. What amazes me is how easily my body adapted. I was off keto for about 7 months eating typical SAD food. When September started I didn't even transition. I went bang into OMAD AND Keto and had no problems at all.
I've applied just some of your tools. A slight IF some 36h fasting once in a while, just a little wheigh lifting every day. I'm 67 and I've totaly annihilated my belly fat, I've normalized all my analysis , and I've never anjoyed a better health like now. So I can testify that all your teachings are holy words. Thank you dr Ekberg and greetings from Italy.
Based on the great info I've gotten from your vid's, I've been eating OMAD a little over a year. I feel great and have lost 90 lbs. I have still to lose another 80 lbs. I go to the gym 3 times a week. I'm currently 70 years old. I have no reason to stop OMAD at this time.
I find this fascinating the way our bodies expect/learn. I have never felt like eating breakfast, but as you said , people say you must eat breakfast. So I would make myself eat breakfast and would be hungry at work by 9/10 am. Since retiring and learning about fasting and the keto way of eating I never have breakfast and I am not hungry until about 2pm. I have lost about fourteen pounds (I am 140 lbs) and am happy with my weight. I am sixty nine and live in a second floor apartment with stairs, so I have to carry my shopping up two flights of stairs, which I can do, sometimes it makes me a bit breathless but I consider this to be my daily weight bearing exercise. Thank you for all the good information you give.
Yeah just think about it if our body did not have the ability to adapt the way it does Intermittent fasting would not be as powerful
Correction I wouldn't say it wouldn't be as powerful, but it wouldn't be as effective as it is when our body is extremely intelligent. Our body goes full survival mode like our body is in an episode of The Walking Dead
I've been eating OMAD on Carnivore for the last eight months. I've lost 50lbs and lowered my A1C level from 12.5 to 6.5. I just went in today, November 6, 2023, for my regular A1C bloodwork. Being a type 2 diabetic who has an enlarged heart and has had a heart attack and stroke, I am surviving quite well eating just one Carnivore meal a day. I am hardly ever hungry and rarely crave unhealthy foods. When I do get either feelings, I eat more protein. I realized that happens only when I haven't eaten enough protein that preticuler day. Once in a while, I add ounion, garlic, and cheese to my all protein meals. Not only has my weight and diabetes improved, but my brain fog is completely gone, and my energy level has also greatly increased. I love watching your videos because they truly follow my lifestyle.
Thanks for your testimony! I’m at a1c is 13.4 I must get it down to 6. Your story is a testimonial to me, as u can relate!!! So doing this!!’ Thanks for sharing!
Dr Ekberg, I love how clear and precise your language is in explaing and conveying complex information. All of these videos are absolute TH-cam gems.

I have also cut carbohydrates to a minimum. I now am continuing to eat like this and exercising. My weight has maintained at 170lbs since I reached it. Keep up the great videos. Thank you Sten

Thank you Dr. Sten for all I learned here. I do OMAD now and lost 8 cm around my waist since October. It changed my life and now I feel better then any time I can recall. I am almost 60 now (somewhat later this year) and have trust in a more healthy future for me. God bless you and I wish a joyful and happy 2022!
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for another great video. Of the many, many people on TH-cam who offer wellness advice, yours always stands out as the most thorough, honest, direct, and well-intentioned. There are so many times when you share information on something that I've heard before in some form or another, but because you are so good at explaining it, the information finally penetrates my thick skull, and I incorporate it into my lifestyle.
I believe I speak for many people when I humbly ask that you apply your explanation skills to a video covering the ways in which Percocet (and similar drugs) affect our bodies and minds; in the short-term, the long-term, and whether there is a difference in their effect on those of us who follow a low-carb, ketogenic, intermittent fasting lifestyle. Thank you, and God Bless You!
Thanks a lot for your very informative and clear lectures, Dr. Ekberg. I have been following your advice on minimizing carbs, and am noticing great positive changes in my health, and greater control over my blood glucose levels.
Your talks about fasting make perfect sense. As a Muslim, I observe the month of Ramadan during which one eats two small meals and fasts between 12-17 hours a day, depending on the season with which Ramadan coincides. It is a great and healthy practice and, when done right, leads to many benefits.
Thanks again for all your great work, and have a great day.
Dr. Ekberg, when I search for videos to watch for my walking sessions I experience anxiety until I find rare videos that activate my mind which eases my anxiety and makes me much happier

The topics are super that you speak of and share in a professional as well as pleasant manner. The content is obviously from sound reputable sources. I trust and believe without the desire to verify your videos accuracy because you have already spoken volumes of who you are a proven professional. I am your TH-cam fan and now I will watch and listen to you talk while I go walk. Thank you so much top Doc of the Tube.
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg. I have been doing IF and low carb since the end of October, and transitioned to OMAD six weeks ago. I try to walk 10+km per day although that and the low carbs have suffered over Christmas. I am consistently losing 2-2.5kg per week and look forward to meeting my targets in another 8-10 weeks.
Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg. You have been one of my inspirations . I have been on omad for 6 months (with a few extra meals now and again) . almost 2 stone lighter and no doubt reversed my march into diabetes. If anyone is considering this do not hesitate and do not let your friends and family make you feel you are not doing the right thing. DO NOT EAT PROCESSED FOOD ! CUT OUT SUGAR ! Be well and enjoy real life, I know I am. Thanks again.
Thank you. I have been on OMAD for 10 days. I feel great, more energetic and hooked on vasting. Your approach of our food culture is revolutionary and probably will change our society as a whole. I AM IN AWE.
You definitely don't hear it enough.Thank you for being a righteous guide to a better awareness of our nutritional needs and options.
I had developed severe eczema in my 2 fingers on each hand for the last three years. I even lost the sense of touch at the tips (they felt very hard) with skin peeling off and sometimes affected the underside of the nails. Horrendous to look at. I was told it was autoimmune and tried all kind of medication/ointments and problem was becoming better, but appeared again inflamed after a while. I was doing low carb but in the last 2 months I am trying OMAD in parallel. Among other benefits I have seen amazing results I could not even believe. The skin was completely repaired and eczema was completely gone, all without medication. My fingers look and feel normal again!
I have exactly the same problem with my hands. I’m going to try OMAD.
My daughter used to suffer from eczema and our GP kept prescribing steorid creams. She gave up dairy and it went away and has never come back.

I agree with the ppl who say they have increased energy, I definitely feel that too.
Started at 89kg.. ended up at 76kg. Did this for cell regen not weight/fat loss but was pleasantly surprised. I just turned 30 last week. Laser sharp focus and great energy 95% of the time. Give it a shot guys and tinker where needed for your own body.
Now I want to focus on getting the muscle mass on and hit 80kg within a year (naturally) slow and steady wins the race. I’m 6ft3 (190cm approx for anybody wondering).. don’t forget the added salt to water if you workout a lot like I do because it doesn’t break the fast
How much salt would you usually add to water? and what does a normal meal look like for you?

Dear Dr. Sten Ekberg. I much appreciate the message in your videos. Life learning for me. Thank you very much from Spain!
This was just an incredible video! I loved every moment and learned from it. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! You are awesome.
The number of people who tell me "Oh, I could never do that" is astounding. Well of course, you can't go out and eat one meal a day starting tomorrow without preparing for it, any more than you could go out tomorrow and run a marathon if you're a couch potato. I couldn't just do OMAD without an adaptation period (for example 2MAD for a while.) But a lot of people convince themselves that they're different, so they won't even try.
I get this all the time too!
The worst are the people who get angry and try to convince you it's impossible to eat only once a day...
not true i jumped into if and omad straight from couch potato high carb,,, was able to do it no problem first try,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex It's both true and false. Each person has different starting point, different self control and will power, and some people are so addicted to sugar they shake when they are without it. I would say majority of people will need to transition into it, but I'm able to jump into it as well like 7 out of 10 times (if I had enough sleep, have not been eating too much carbs etc before).
Thank you for this video. I am starting this challenge beginning today! I had been doing IF, OMAD, multi day water fasting in the past with great results but regressed over the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday and have been struggling to get back on track.
I’m 70 years young, weighed 172.4 lbs this morning and my target weight is 150. I’m going to do this OMAD challenge for the next 30 days & access my progress and continue if I need to.
This was exactly the input I needed so thank you Dr Ekberg👍
What a fantastic video! I’ve been doing research about OMAD and this was very easy to understand! I am on my weight loss journey and understanding how my body works motivated me to make the right changes. Thank you 😊
Your way of explaining these things is simple and to the point. I sent the video to a friend of mine who says she can't sleep if she doesn't eat something.
Your videos have allowed me understand my body and change my mindset towards food and my relationship with my body, in 2 weeks I’ve already lost nearly a stone, right foods, and intermittent fasting! Incredible! Your videos are brilliant and easy to understand, I owe you a pint!! 🍺 big love! More of theses please! Do you have a patron page to donate??
I personally have only eaten 1 meal daily for over a year went from 40 waist to 36 in 7 months from XXL to large
Wow!That's awesome, Praise God 🙌
Thank you Samson Mcclendon for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg thank you for responding . Not boasting but I feel better 250lbs down to 218lbs with out any extra effort
Thank you for this! 🙏🏿
I started omad about two weeks ago. I have dropped about 6 pounds already. It is absolutely true that you get less hungry. I also did one 48 hour fast. I never dreamed I would be able to do what I did. There are still some ways you are drawn to food after eating. But it isnt a craving. Its more like hey thats food…and thus a good bit easier to avoid. I also try to do like you say in other videos. I eat fewer carbs and more protein…
Thank you so much. 🙏🏿
I used to do OMAD naturally but tried 6 meals a day on advice from a doctor and BAM, small bowel obstruction. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for all the info you provide.
6 meals a day will make our gut work frequently and not put it into a rest.
I do this omad not because of weight loss. I felt my stomach is overwhelmed when I eat more = bloating
So eating once a day, makes my stomach rest most of the day. I dont feel bloating anymore. Im on my 6th day.
I eat within 2pm to 6pm timeline.
Oh my goodness. This was such a good video on so many levels. Thank you so much. I have been omad for 2 years and carnivore 4 years. I know it's not for everyone, but it works for me. I do some longer fasts and am now learning about dry fasting and trying that out. I love the idea if freedom from food. I cant believe how much of life revolves around food. There is so much more to life. I love my life style. I am happy, healthy and very content. Thank you for getting the word out so clearly. 😊
Great video. I've started doing OMAD this year and I'm committed to do it until the end of this year. So far I haven't skipped a single day and will plan to keep it that way.
Thanks, and good to know. I am definitely doing 72hrs aweek with no food whatsoever but only water. And OMD every 24hrs aweek. Great feeling and very strong and healthy 💪.!!
Thank You MomenK. You can do it. 😄
@@fredmagembe5481 Yeah I too am throwing in 3-5 day fasts once a month. Good luck!
So great, so simple, so understandable & clear explanation. Kudos to you Dr. Sten.
