I Ate Once a Day for a Month, See What Happened to Me

- Can you eat just one meal a day? The human body can survive without a bite of food for up to 3 weeks. Of course, it’s a different story with water; you wouldn’t last more than 3 or 4 days without it! You and I both know that people are expected to eat 3 full meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Depending on how filling those meals are, you may squeeze in a few snacks here and there. It usually takes about 4 hours after each meal for your belly to start making those too-often-than-not embarrassingly monstrous growls, reminding you that it’s time for your next meal!
But with different diets and fasting gaining popularity, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to my body if I ate just one meal every day for 30 days. I did it, and here’s what I got out of it!

SUMMARY:
- You eat just one meal a day. There aren’t too many strict guidelines to this diet. You can essentially eat any foods you want and as much as you want, as long as it’s during your one singular meal of the day.
- Unlike a lot of other diets, there are no special ingredients involved and no annoying calorie counting. If you want French fries, have French fries! If you’re craving a big bowl of spaghetti, go for it!
- If weight loss is a goal of yours, it’s important not to overeat during your one meal since it can disrupt the diet’s ability to help you maintain a steady drop in pounds.
- After trying it for a couple of days, I found that my body quickly adjusted to this way of eating, and my appetite really wasn’t that raging. This must be because my stomach probably shrank after a few days, so I felt satisfied with just one meal a day.
- For the first couple days, my stomach was definitely feeling hunger pangs. It started with stomach growls and ended with painful cramping.
- For the first week, I just wanted to lie on the couch and Netflix and chill all day long. My energy was super low, and I felt so lethargic.
- After the 30 days, I found that I’d actually dropped a few pounds! I felt pretty awesome not only because I’d gotten leaner and felt healthier, but I was also really proud of myself for sticking to a diet that I easily could’ve given up on.
- One of the main concerns I found online was the fact that women and men respond differently to this type of intermittent fasting. Women have a stronger need for iron in their diet.
- I also read up on different studies. One of them was conducted in 2017 by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan. They found that the one meal a day diet can be helpful for people suffering from type 2 diabetes since it helps with weight loss and reducing blood sugar levels.
- Other studies have shown that it can really help increase the lifespan in people with obesity.
- It just a super specific thing that each person should check with their doctor to see if they can do it safely. A lot of people swear by it, and I’m happy with the weight loss results I got.

I've been doing OMAD for a little over 3 months, but only Monday thru Friday, and eating two meals on the weekends. I went from 219 pounds to 202 in the first seven weeks. I am now at 198 and feeling great.
That's dope 😎
i’m trying to lose weight and that’s my exact goal,!
@@sunnyskittles7967 you don't count calories on OMAD.
@@sunnyskittles7967 I didn't keep track of the calories
Guys imma start today 5 November and I will stop 5 January at my birthday it will be 2 month I hope lose 10 kg
My weight : 49
My goal weight : 36
Let’s start (^^)
Day 1 :
I have been eating one meal a day for two weeks now. Even though I enjoy two glasses of white wine every evening after my meal, I have lost more than 10 pounds. It works!
When you are lazy, broke and living alone, this is lifestyle
Don't Live Like this well and I oop I have a mother.
I don't think it's a choice of Lifestyle I think it is just the way it is if you are poor you eat whatever you can get your hands on. Sometimes we cannot control everything.
My lifestyle tho im still studying. I tend to save my lunch money for future school projects.
literally me in college lol
Literally me! I've lost weight during this quarantine because I get lazy at home, then with lower calories I get tired more often... I get stomach rumbles everytime I wake up. I think its killin' me slowly ha ha ha...
One meal a day ..
For 3 weeks
Slight exercise
Lose 17lbs
Thumbs up
Really bro what did u do plz explain and Ur saying truth right
What weight were you when you started...
erron cluts hoy do you maintain it though
I started 90kilos ...and for now ..im only 74kilos
You don't need to rush ..
Just let your body adopted little by little to your new diet.
Or else it will really hard for you to achive it
I had been doing the fasting thing now for about 3 months. I eat 1 meal a day and have dropped 50lbs so far. I have so much more energy and feel fantastic as I have dropped several pant sizes. This is a win for me anyway.
In my thirties, the one meal a day plan, eating everything in sight, worked well, allowing me to loose 60 pounds in 8 weeks. I was thrilled! Doing this again in my fifties, did nothing for me, except to maintain what weight I was, until I experimented and filled up once a day with nothing but fish and a fruit or vegetable. Now, in my late 60's, the five bite diet works even better, under a doctor's care. Coffee or tea for breakfast, and five bites of food for lunch and five bites for dinner. I am loosing rapidly. That's my experience. If I want to, I can switch to fish and a fruit or vegetable, with medium speed weight loss.
I need to correct myself. I lost 60 pounds in 8 MONTHS, not weeks.
The same for me I am 55 year old. I am not losing any weight on this intermittent fasting just maintain my normal weight as before
I dislike the five bite diet that I have been on, with the guidance of my doctor, recommended by him. Breakfast is coffee or tea with nothing in it, no sweetener. For lunch, 5 bites of anything, dinner the same. Water, tea, coffee, free anytime. Loss of 5 to 7 pounds a week, worked well. Just today, I stopped it, because of how uncomfortable it is to do. At least I'm 8 pounds lighter.
so how has it been working out
I am 60 kilos and I've tried OMAD ( one meal a day) after a month I lost 7 kilos and I'm just so proud of myself. Anyone who reads this, you can do it !
Congratulations keep going OMAD it’s truly amazing!
May i know what kind of meals and the estimate portion size you usually consume during OMAD? Thanks in advance
@@tamarajames3615 actually I ate based on my cravings and I only eat during lunch. I don't worry much about calories because I don't eat anything after that. And yeah there's nothing to worry about whatever you want coz you'll burn more than you take. Veggies would be great as well!
Angelie Sabatin Thanks for sharing .. Here in my country, we were advice to divide our plate portion with 1/4 of protein,1/4 of carbs and half of veggies during OMAD .. But for me the amount is too small considering we don't eat for the whole day.. What do you think? Should I eat based on what my body needs? I'm scared I will over eat😂
@@tamarajames3615 You can eat any portion you want. I sometimes overeat but the next day I'll eat less considering that I ate more than I intended to eat that day. Everytime I felt like I overeat, I'll do some exercises. It should always be balance. That's why drinking water before eating your meal is important to avoid overeating.
Play at 1.25 speed, then thank me with a thumbs up
i played it with 2 speed. When u want to lose weight fast, your whole life is fast
Tru dat
Just saw this comment with one minute left in the video....fml
@@aymane2898 😂😂
@zaheercupido you're a genius lol
Well I Used to do this for nearly 2-3 years, I had maintained a decent body for so long.. never had low energy levels. And I used to do it on week days only. Great way to keep your weight in check.
this actually works! I did for 2 weeks and I lost 3 kg! I'm still doing the diet for over a month now!
who else watching this in quarantine
i wanna lose some weight too!
Me too 🤞
Me too I've gained so much weight in quarantine!
Same I want to lose too
Hahaha
Me too, I've lost 2.6kg in 2 weeks! Game changer for sure, first few days are the hardest but after that it's plain sailing
Am I the only one who's super curious to see what this dude looks like??
no, not at all
You can see what he looks like at 0:33.

That would be A dream comes true for me 👍😊

I used the one meal a day during the start of the Pandemic, as with being restricted to staying at home I found eating once a day was enough to sustain me, and lost quite a significant amount of weight without even trying to. I have to say though I believe supplementing with Garcinia, CLA, Forskolin, & Lipo6 helped me stay disciplined without getting bent out of shape mentally. Once the lockdowns lifted and I was called back to work and I could go to the gym again I tried staying to the one meal rule but it was impossible. So every other “work” day I switch to only one meal a day or two meal day. My weekends I stuck to the one meal day. When I’m on my one meal day it is basically at noon I eat. When it’s a two meal day it’s a big breakfast and a very light dinner. I use to easily border at 220 to 225 now I barely pass going 210. I also take a multi vitamin & a probiotic supplement.
Been doing this one meal a day for 3 months and lost 32 pounds so far. But I’m also on the treadmill six days a week and walk about two to three miles. The hunger is very manageable after the first week.
I continue to lose the weight. I recommend it to healthy people in the mid and later years. I’m 64.
Currently doing this for almost 1 month. I've lost almost 5 kg without exercise because all gyms in my city are closed. This is insane, I am even able to control my hunger attacks whenever I want
@@kiaramstefanie2949 wym by think whenever we want
Sh
With the gym you may have lost another 5 kg in that month.
You know walking is free🙄
How maybe I'm not losing anymore weight coz this is my daily life
me too
Actually my dad does this, and he lost alot of weight and he didn't crave alot. He goes through out the day with coffee and water I swear that all and my dad has never looked healthy and fit before, so proud of u dad 😊❤️
Coffe is best to accomplish that
I've tried all kinds of diets. IF/one meal a day is the only thing that has worked for me. Love the challenges.
Yeah thats what Malcolm X did as prescribed to the Nation by Elijah Muhammad ....but obe difference is a prescribed way of eatin.... In how to eat to live... That being said it is reported that the autopsy doc said his organs was comparable to that of a 16 year old!!
@@cinemaofsounds yeah it's true. This whole quarantine I didn't ate any extra snacks and junk foods but I still ate 3 meals a day and still I did lose weight.
I'm doing the exact same thing as your dad and lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. The hardest for me was the first couple of days than my body got used to and the cravings stopped.
I had done this in last month and then saw your video....it was quite similar experience you had....and overall I felt so satisfied after doing this for almost a month...it also make me control my appetite also in reducing time wastage on having meals 3 4 times a day, it Also reduce my cravings for snacks or any junk food...and many more.
This is quite easy to follow and I find only pros of it.
I’ve been eating like this for over 20 years! My friends are always wanting to go eat and they talk about how picky and little I eat but I always eat a meal every day and that seems to be all my body requires. I don’t have many cravings for anything eating this way, except my chocolate milk which is high in protein and also helps you if you feel a little hungry.
Just remember if you take vitamins, take them with your meal because they work through absorption and only happens in the intestines along with food. Otherwise vitamins are pretty useless. Also I’m healthy, I never go to the doc but many many elderly people in my life have said the key to longevity is to stay away from the doctor! So true, I believe them.
That' s really bad, there are certain things you have too go to the doctor for and should be, maintaining your health, could even save your life.
Me when I want nice food: My mom makes trash.
Me when I want a nice body: My mom turns into my grandma.
That is so true
😄💯
stop blaming, do the cooking.
Go live with your grand MA.
🤣🤣🤣
I could do this only if my mom didn't make some bomb as food everyday
IKR i can't help myself!! 😭😭
imagine your mom making food 🤧
peyton p imagine having a mom that doesn’t make food for ur child
get rid of your mom!
I thought normal moms only made dinner. The rest is cerial for breakfast and lunch at school. How hard can it be?
I did this over twenty years ago when I worked the Midnight to 8 a.m. shift at my job! I ate the one
meal at 10 p.m. just before going to work, fast all night, then went without breakfast & lunch,
until I went to sleep at 2 p.m. until 10 p.m.! It worked & I lost 15-20 lbs. & didn't feel that hungry!
There was a point in my early 20s, I was quite fit & was weighing about 195. Due to a specific situation I found myself in I was only able to eat once a day, every day at 5pm. And every day I ate the same thing, basically, 2 items. Some days it was 2 cheese burgers and the other days it was a cheese burger and a banana split. This went on for 4 months. I went down to 160 and always felt fine, like always, maybe a little more agile, but always seemed to have lots of energy, no ill effects at all. I stayed fairly busy most of the time but at a nice leisurely pace, physical labor.
With a sound metabolism, and moderate exercise, most people can eat anything in their 20s without a significant impact on their appearance or health.
I've been eating one meal a day for well over a year now. I used to weigh 260 lbs! I've maintained a weight of 190 and less since. No more type 2 diabetes and no hunger, lots of energy!
Is it ok if u don’t eat at the same time each day?
@@ailuvkurdistan no
@@ailuvkurdistan no, the point is to eat nothing for 24 hours
@@ailuvkurdistan you should aim to eat at the same time every day so you get the benefits of a 24 hour fast like the other commenters said. But, even if you dont get a full 24 hours between your 1 meal a day......you're still only eating 1 meal a day!! You may not get the fasting benefits, but you will be cutting the amount of calories you eat a day drastically. So you will still loose weight and feel better, at least once you get used to it.
Nice going !. 👌
I did this for 3 months and I lost 70 pounds in those 3 months I went from weighing 240 to 165 and it's the best thing ever to happen to me and I am so thankful for this health plan!!@@
Abraham Davila did u exercise? What time do U usually eat
Sounds good give us an update 👍
@@angellin3959 yea I mostly did like an hour of cardio a day and I usually ate around from 6-8 after that no more till the next day
How many calories did/do you eat? and what did you eat? (Maybe you did Keto whilst doing the OMAD)
Well-done
I've been doing this diet for just over a year and I'm over 5 stone (75lb) down. I have also cut out a lot of carbs like bread and potatoes but I have a really sweet tooth so I have been eating sweets and chocolate! I think ironically eating one meal a day is the diet for people who love food!
Thank you for the video and information. There’s a few things I feel like you didn’t mention. Could it be more sustainable if you had a couple of healthy snacks during the day and what about things like coffee.
each time i wanna eat junk i brush my teeth and hunger magically dissapear
does that really work?
Sexzimocha Abv Avg Yes! And drink a glass of water. A lot of times, people think they’re hungry, but it’s actually thirst. Try it☺️
int 2 thanks I’m gonna try it
int 2 Thank you for this comment it helped me a lot
The sugar in the toothpaste.
I did this my junior year of high school, I saved my lunch allowance and bought my first car.
When I was in high school (70's) I used my lunch money for cigarettes and a coke. My mom was sooo happy when she found out! Not. She wrote checks to the school from then on.
xD
Awww congrats
Randy Coolbaugh aww that’s great
It cost around $10000 for a second hand car in my country, cost $2 for one meal. It would take 13 years of saving giving up one meal a day to buy a car.
I've started the OMAD diet when i was 14 yo....in 1974! Instinctively, because it was absolutely not a trend. I always found the 3 meals a day thing was over eating, time consuming and belonged to an agricultural way of life ( for farmers who started working physically at 5am!). Also at this young age, i could see the health issues with eating 3x a day +snacks and our sedentary way of life. I'm 61 and have no health issues whatsoever, I have a normal weight ( 5'4" -61 yo female- 135 pounds) and I think my days are more open to other activities than managing meals all day!
I'm 60 and been doing it for over a year. I do carnivore for a few months then go back to keto or close to it. Fasting isn't an issue at all for me. I'm 180 lbs and want to reach 170 soon.
When I start to diet
My mom: Honey, we're gonna go to restraunt for dinner.
Another disclaimer that should’ve been added: you should still eat healthy during your one meal and not consume anything you want.
Yes I agree with this. I'm not doing omad but I IF and when I come off I make sure to eat good organic meats, complex carbs, veggies
Should you be eating in a calorie deficit while doing one meal a day?
k b all depends on your goals
3:13
no thats Not True i do it since 4 days eating once a day whatever i want... and i lost 6kg...
Do it most everyday because, like so many others, it's all I can afford.
lol me too.
Lol
Same here. 30 years and counting.
I usually don't eat as much even though my family makes supper.
I was going to comment the same thing.
I've only ever been a one meal a day person , any time I've had more than one and I put weight on , feel lethargic, bloated , water retentive and down . I think everyone should try it . I do get the hunger growls and occasionally Hangry but I feel healthy. I liked this video thank you 😊
I'm definitely going to try this method and hope for the best.
I tried the OMAD diet for 40 days. I ate mostly the same thing, basically to make certain that the caloric intake was the same...and ended up losing about 23 lbs. It was easier than reducing calories over multiple meals...but the biggest benefit was that even after 6 months later, I have not gained any of the weight back, even after returning to my "normal" diet and eating frequency. Amazing!!
Thats pretty amazing! Congratulations! It is more amazing that you haven't gained it back. Thanks for sharing!
Way to flex the acronym. You sound like a pro
Cool!! I've been thinkin' about doing that. I've done fasting before for fasting labs. So for me the first 12 hours are the hardest. After that, the hunger pangs become less and less. So I should be able to handle it.
Where is your weight or diet after 1yr??
Still kept the weight off?
I am 62 years old I have been eating 1 meal a day since January 2019, so far I have lost 57 lbs. I only drink water no red meat, no pork, no turkey, only certain vegetables and fruits. A lot of ppl tell me that’s not good but it’s working for me my blood pressure is better, my diabetes is better my constant back pain is gone I stopped taking a lot of meds the docs kept insisting that I needed. I’m almost to my target weight when I hit it I’ll make another target and go for it.
Im doin 1 meal a day keto diet its basically the opposite where i eat meat fats and veggies no carb no sugars and lost 15lbs in 2 weeks
Way to go you are an inspiration! I started ding this just kind of naturally got into it a week ago, by being too busy to eat! Been working for 7 days now on building a bike with all these music speakers and gadgets, from 7 am till 10 pm. I have this huge meal at 10pm, and sleep way better, go to the bathroom way quicker, energy levels jus fine. All I have during the day is 2 coffees, and then plenty of water. It works!-
Thanks alot...after I read your comment you give me push.....from Somalia
Mohamed 3 Thank You 🙏🏽 just give it a try for a week and she how it works for you. If you get hungry eat celery or carrots apples something like that and some water.
Ok will try thanks alot
I lived my life this way for years. It wasn't a diet for me. I hope to get back to it. I was so fit and healthy!!!
I have been doing this for 5 years. Started in high school. Too stressed to eat breakfast, too loud to eat lunch in cafeteria. It actually made me gain weight because I ate more than I needed when I could, of course, once I was out of high school and worked from home, my weight has been relatively stable as nothing is stopping me from eating more than once if I want to, just me and how convenient it is to just have to eat once. If you’re less strict about it and have the safety net of being able to eat more if you get hungry, then you will probably be more successful. Non of that “I can’t eat later so I need to overstuff myself now”
If you stress your body produces cortisol which makes you gain weight.
i am in high school, get bullied for my weight, and are looking to lose a few pounds.. my mum cooks and there is no way of me getting out of dinner. is this and effective way to lose a couple??

@@karlac798 high intensity tactical training if I'm not mistaken, it's a way of basically organizing the exercises you do, for the benefits

I was forced to have one meal a day for a month because I spent too much money on a new iPhone...and it was GREAT! Visibly became thinner, especially my face.
Thank you. Very informative
I did that for over a year.I went from XXL T-shirts to my normal size M. That was 4 years ago. My eating habits changed and after all that fresh food, Chips and stuff like that taste like a sheet of paper. Every time I ate it had to be healthy food

For real?
@@usernotfound162 Yep
The other things that you drink probably have some amounts of water in them, like juice, etc. but it could still be unhealthy...
That's for normal people not for those who lives in another universe
How about your weight before and after?
Doesn't help that when i put myself online, people be like "You're getting fatter". Puts be back into this diet again.
Well you should know better? Is this your first time om the internet? People can be monsters man. Wish you well in your success
Hey just be careful when you do this diet. If you ever feel hungry make sure to drink plenty of water because sometimes your body confuses thirst with hunger. Also make sure to work out a bit because, once you get off you’re regular eating schedule and shorten your amounts, you can get sick. So be careful but enjoy!
Hey I just want to quickly remind you no matter your weight or what you look like you are wonderful just like everyone else in this world

Some questions for the poster: 1) did you eat at the same time every day, or vary the time? If the same time every day, what was it? If different times, what were they, and in what order day-by-day? 2) Did you work out a schedule of meal plans for the entire period ahead of time, or at least maybe week-by-week? 3) how did you construct and vary your meals? Which of the food groups were represented in each daily meal, and did you vary the combination from day-to-day? Did you eat a 'normal' -sized portion of each food group represented? 4) how many pounds did you actually lose? 5) Did you return to a multi-meal diet after the 30 days, or have you continued this indefinitely?
I would be especially interested in any meal plan you made, day-by-day (if you kept records). It would seem to me that would be almost a requirement.
Great questions. I found trying to keep the same “window” each day worded better for me. I also found that eating between 12-3 was best for me as it put my meal in the middle of my waking time. I don’t eat the same thing every day. I think that would be miserable. I do stick to a keto plan with respect to the kinds of food. It seems to yield the best results. One thing that was not mentioned was the elevation in mood. After a few days I seem to have a sense of well being. Kind of weird side effect. I was able to get a lot of information on the science of the OMAD plan for other top people like Dr.Eric Berg. The results are positive and I look forward to keeping it part of a healthy lifestyle
The tremendose bennefits of autophagy result after the 20 hours are priceless , i do eat some fruit around mid day and try to drink close to 10 glasses that My body requires daily ( i weigh 72 kgs ), i'm feeling GREAT
I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't know what "Netflix and chill" means.
palabrajot505 I was waiting waiting for someone to say something about that 😂
Maybe that's how he lost a few extra pounds lol
i only found out what it means 5 days ago.
He wouldn’t wanna do that if he was low on energy
stop lying, it was 7
Tried OMAD for a week, with no snacks, no sugar, lots of WATER, 5-10min exercise per day(abs and cardio mostly) and lost 4.5kg.
This one trurly works guys, give it a try.
@twilight_lynxxx nah man im looking better than ever
What was your weight at the beggining?
@@spacequery9506 75kg
I'm not specifically targeting you, but why do people do only abs and cardio while trying to lose weight?
Cardio is kinda self explanatory but why abs ?
4.5kg after how long?
I've been eating 1 meal per day for years. I am accustomed to it. If I need some protein in between, I snack on a piece of cheese or some peanut butter. When I've tried eating lunch and dinner, that's when I start gaining weight. I've been doing this for around 20 years. It works for me! I will say that I'm not a foodie type nor do I enjoy cooking, I'm just not obsessed about food. So it maybe easier for a person like me.
Same here but over 30 years for me.
what interests me the most is: at what time did you eat your 1 meal ?
Because I used to fast all day and eat at night and my thyroid got so lazy and I got fatter and fatter. Now that I eat a big breakfast or lunch (I alternate) and eat a dinner too, I weigh less. I had a friend and she could go for hours without food all day but eat a lot at night, and she too got so big. Now she eats during the day (follow the sun diet which means when the sun is highest you can eat the most, so small breakfast big lunch small dinner and lots of water between meals) and she has lost a loooot of weight, eating more than ever
I did read sometime ago not to eat after 6pm in the evening, I was on a diet after having my last kid.
I'm doing keto + 16/8 intermittent fasting (somedays OMAD), I lost 11KG in 35 days, and feeling great!!!
I've been eating one meal a day my whole life.
It's called being broke. 😜 😀 😂
For how many years are you practising OMAD sir?
You must be real fit!
You should invest in Shiba inu, to turn your life around....take care!
same here
Naww some people are just not into food. I am fine on 1 per day.
I’ve actually been living like this for as long as I can remember. I mostly only eat when I’m hungry and sometimes I eat more times if I need to but most days I have 1 to 2 meals a day and I love it. 😅
The biggest problem I experience with OMAD is constipation, although I always drink plenty of water and I eat a high fiber Vegan diet. For this reason, I now eat a small bowl of fruit with my tea in the morning. I add some plant based home made plain curd to my fruit bowl for probiotics. For lunch I eat a raw salad with no grains, but with a little cooked or sprouted beans, and I eat my main meal of cooked food in the evening. This way, I have been loosing some weight. I don't experience constipation, and indeed, I have adapted this way of eating for life. I live in tropical climate where one does not need a lot of calories. Indeed, in cold climate it may prove to be difficult to stick to this pattern of eating.
Start drinking Psyllium Seed Powder with water! And i guarantee you will have no more problems with constipation! Its pure fiber! The fiber you eat already isn't enough, you need more and that's where Psyllium Seed Powder comes in
@@BlackV4You any laxative, being natural substance like Psyllium husk, or not, can we only be taken once in a while, and never every day, as it would seriously disturb the normal functioning of our digestive system.
@@susanp5393 Oh i never knew it would (natural substance), ill google it and see if it's true
You can take a magnesium vitamin with your OMAD. It's a natural laxative
I have eaten one meal a day since I was 10 years old and I will be 60 in August. I have as much energy today and do the same activities that I did when I was 17.
BIKESTER GRIST It’s really inspiring to see your comment. I have a doubt. Can we have the one meal during breakfast or is it recommend at a certain time of the day?
@@snowycute5269 I have always eaten my one meal a day in the evening. This is what works for me. I go to bed not feeling hungry, and I have enough energy during the entire day. I do have a cup of coffee in the morning And that is it. I drink water throughout the day also.
BIKESTER GRIST Thank you for the reply😊
@@snowycute5269 You're welcome.
So you’re practicing it for 50 years, your whole life?
I've been doing this for a while. It works! You have to first gett yourself used to it and don't give in for about 4-5 days, and then it'll become easy and feel almost natural. I prefer having my one meal be dinner, but not too late in the evening. 5PM-6PM.
What do you eat?
How much did you lose now ?
I recently switched from 3 to 2 meals a day and I had similar symptoms of stomach growling for few days but am now used to it too. I now eat somewhere around 11 and 5 pm. Also learned that we often confuse thirst with hunger and keep putting in plenty of food, so drinking water is much better to check whether it was a pang of hunger or thirst. So mine happens to be like intermittent fasting, also recently learned about insulin resistance from "why we get sick." Highly recommend to people who wanna know how what you put in your mouth affects your body.
Same. I eat at 7pm. I think dinner is the best time to do your one meal in my opinion
@@Speakerboxers Thanks for that input. And no caloric food at any other time per day?
I used to live like this constantly because my jobs were so busy and demanding. This is also known as "intermittent fasting" and is a medically recognized way to manage weight. In the last few years I've gotten away from it and surprise, surprise 60 extra pounds have found me. I have a 6'2" frame and that 60lbs makes a huge difference. Heading back in that direction for sure because I was a lot happier with myself at 185. It really does work not only for weight loss but for maintenance. You just can't let the "lunch crowd" sabotage you too often. Once you get into this mode you start to feel light and energized during the day, not bogged down by a bunch of food your body is trying to deal with while your still trying to be active. I will say though that once you get entrenched in this type of eating habit you will become very sleepy within an hour of your meal. So prepare for that.
This will save a lot of time in cooking, table prep, washing dishes etc. Time spared can be use more for essential things. I will try this definitely.
I do this 3 times a day.
Ulics C. Bwahaha!!
Multi intermiten diet
Sounds like Casey casem back in the 70's
Very funny
😂
I'm on Day 2 with OMAD and I need to watch this everyday to keep me motivated so I can do it for a month!
Same but how did it go?
Same Lol
So did it worked ?
I think eric died guys
Hi guys! I'm still alive! Thank you for your comments. OMAD made me hungry but immediately lost appetite. So I'm back to IF
I have been doing one meal a day for 24 days now and I am down 16lbs, I’m 20yo 6’3 started at 236lbs now 220lbs. Plan to get down to atleast 200 maybe 190 or so. Being hungry only lasted the first 3-4 days but if you just drink water when you are hungry it goes away. Also experienced that same lack of energy in the beginning but everything seems normal now.
One thing for sure. You save quite a bit on groceries and food. Sometime, it makes you look forward to that one meal.
Try this, it really does work. It gives you self discipline, self motivation and lots and lots of energy. I started in febuary 2018 and i have lost 120lb. I am 48 years of age and its the best i have felt since i was in my mid twenties. I usally work the night shift so its hard for me to eat 3 meals a day coz i sleep most of the day. A couple of hrs after i wake i will go for an hours walk, then i will do 1 hour in the gym. An hour after the gym i will settle down to my OMAD. Eggs, chicken, fish, turkey, salad, tuna and dairy products are the types of foods i eat. For the first week or so i found it quite hard and had to be strong, but after that i got used to it and now its the norm. Good luck to all.
@Mangifera indica yes, i ate all stuff like that. I just cut out the burgers, fatty foods and foods high in sugar.
@Mangifera indica thank you.
I work nights as well. Third shift so for me my OMAD works best at 6pm or 7pm with a lot of coffee in between and occasional stretches of 36 to 48 hr fasts.
I came to OMAD from keto so the fast has not been that hard of a transition for me.
I feel so much better and clearer plus the weight continues to fall off.
That and being able to keep the coffee flowing in really helps.
Best of luck and cheers!
I work at night to and it's difficult 4 me also to eat 3 times a day, now that ur say that I'll try to do the diet also.. Thenks
This sounds great, but I think if I decide to do this then I'll do this gradually like three small meals, then two, then one.
My mother has eaten one meal a day for my entire life. She is almost 70, never sick - 5 ft tall and 110 pounds.
What time do you eat? I mean how many minutes or hour?
Thats not enough for a woman of her age even is she is "never sick"
@@iasia.x I'll be sure to tell her that some random stranger on the internet thinks they know her body better than she does.
Big Smoke why?.....obviously she’s doing something right and your looking at this video as well so...........
what time does she eat her 1 meal
OMAD may be relatively difficult to begin for some, but it definitely gets easier to sustain and more beneficial the longer you remain disciplined. This was/is my experience. 👍
I did this once for 6 days. I lost 10#, went from 4+ hour naps to none, no brain fog, memory started to get better but then life happened and everyone around me wanted to eat 3x a day. I'm going back to it.
If you actually do this, or considering it, I'm letting you know that this works. Just within a week, I've lost 2 pounds by exercising, eating one meal a day and only drinking water or sparkling water. You can do it bby 💓😊
Yes. Starting second month
Try hot water after
I must try it
Sparkling water 🤢🤑🤮
thankyou..
My mother lost 50 lbs eating one meal a day. She was 70. She never gained the weight back. She ate every day at 1p.m. I don't know how long she stayed on the diet. She lived until 90. She said her body adjusted after a few days. She worked very hard around the house.
throughout the diet. She had a very strong mind. She may have been tired, but she never complained. She was happy with the weight loss. It seemed to come off very fast.
God bless your mom!!
This one meal a day... Cn we stil drinks coffee? 😂
yeah youre right about having to have the right frame of mind and mental strength to get through it
@@mayatotnacario723 Yes
Maya George George why not, if you love it, may need to be black or just a dash of milk, no sugar etc, just my thoughts.
no diet , no workout,
just one meal is perfect 🥰
I eat rice in my one meal😌 and sometime coffee ☕
I just wanna think this man for changing my life I'm glad I did this I can give you a huge right now 🙏

Good for you. Keep going. I'm considering a different eating regiment or schedule. Please, do some UA-cam videos and let everyone know how it is working for you.
How did u plan ur meals? And did u suffer any muscle loss and hair loss??
@@sonalisingh246 you're going to suffer both its kinda inevitable
Still alive?
Hello you still there on earth 😂😂
Drinking caffinated coffee in the morning has dramatically helped to reduce my hunger for several hours. Then I eat around 2pm + 6pm. I'm down to 2 meals a day & no snacks. I fast for 16 hours & eat in a 4 hour window. Eventually I'll advance to 1 meal a day. I'm still new to fasting but it's been a beneficial experience.
you can take curd with jaggery powder or (lemon water with salt or honey) or carrot juice beet juice or coconut water or sugarcane juice instead of tea/coffee
Under the care of my doctor, I've lost 93 pounds on the 1 meal a day diet. This was over a year of time. It truly improved my health!! So talk to your doctor 💊
I started this in april2019 with 1 meal a day for 3 months, yhen moved on to 1 meals every 12 hours. The results are mind blowing. My weight loss is almost 29kg plus from 96kg to 73kg. Thats not all my jeans size went down to 31 from 38 and my shirt sizes went to M from Xl.. This was the best decision ever.. I am finally getting a tuxedo to reward myself
Hasviren Singh do I need to exercise I’m only 18 doing this
Hi Hasviren, I need to lose 15kgs. So was there any specific time for ur meal. In case we are going out for lunch or dinner, can I change my meal timings.
Jasmine Kaur one meal anytime of the day u feel comfortable in should be okkk
What did you eat?
@@aminahhussain5038 hey there sorry for the late reply. For some reason i did not get any notification. To answe your question. The best is swimming twice a week. I did not hit any gym at all
I did this for 6 months, about 30 years ago. I lost 80 lbs. Went from a size 22 down to a 7. I need to do it again. But not for so long this time. My dad called me a skeleton.
Lacey D. No it wasnt
@@susanadamsfields2396 after you stopped the omad, did you drastically gained back your weight?
random random I kept it off for about a year.
What time did you eat?
@@susanadamsfields2396 thank you for replying!
I went from 110 lbs to 88 lbs (50 kg to 40 kg) and now I can't overeat even if I want to (I like this fact though) .I have added a lot of restrictions to my meal like no white flour , no cream , no junk food and many more and I just feel a lot more hygienic and healthier now !! I love this diet ❤️❤️
I have been doing it for well....... I actually don't remember when I started it but I know that it has been less than a year because I wasn't feeling much comfortable in my hoodie last winter and now I am !!!
How much time didi it take?
The human body can go much longer than 3 weeks without food. Some cultures will fast for a month or longer and there are people who regularly do a 45 day fast once or twice a year.
am i the only one who enjoys his voice? it sounds perfect for facts and stuff you dont get bored as he speaks it makes you want to listen to the whole story (like i am actually interested but other people just talk so slowly and without power behind their voice that it gets boring after time)
You right
I also like the voice or “mind warehouse”
Umhh....okay...,i guess
Omg saaaaaaammeee, it's literally the person that I didn't fall asleep listening to!
he does have a good voice.
For losing weight I prefer this more than eating a bunch of small meals because those wouldn't satisfy me and instead just make me want to eat more.
Ron Dale yeah I def think it’s better because it gives your body time to enter Ketosis
couldn’t agree more because same✊🏻
The first 2 weeks of cutting out sugar completely is the hardest. You are literally detoxing it from your system. I got sinus issues, like I had a cold, and headaches, and more. But after those 2 weeks, no prob!
I tried a 30-day fasting by eating 5 pieces shrimps and a half avocado AND went to gym (3-mile run and some cardio) everyday. The result was awesome. I lost 40 lbs. in just a month.
Your omad should be a normal sized meal.
