Agree with this 100%. The body doesn't need that much food - it really doesn't. I've been eating OMAD for 4 years and Im astounded how efficient the body is at adjusting to variations in my caloric expenditure. I never have to be mindful to eat enough, as my body tells me when I need to more or less. OMAD is hands down the best lifestyle change I have ever made. It takes time to adjust but its so worth the initial effort. Now its effortless.
OMAD is the best. Took months to adjust to it, but a super healthy time saver. Having the discipline to not snack. Plus you really see what foodies people are, geezus, they are constantly eating. Their digestion and bowels never get a break. Plus of course the constant insulin spikes. 60 here and in the best shape of my life. Just wish I had this knowledge 20-30 years ago, but better late than never.
I just started, but the time saving aspect is what I'm most excited by. I can spend 20 per meal 3 times a day to make something that's just "ok", or I can spend an hour (but usually less) making a really good, substantial dinner.
@@AmbikaMenon-eu6lm Just extend your eating window as much as you need. I prefer about a 4 hour window. Getting a full 2000-2500 calorie meal in one go is really difficult, and almost impossible if you want to include less calorie dense things like vegetables.
@@AmbikaMenon-eu6lm your body does not want to starve trust me. It wants to stay alive and as good as possible. So how much you can eat will go up naturally.
God bless this man. It’s so important to for people to hear what he said at the end. I started crying. Diet is such a complicated thing and I’ve been so hard on myself and feel so trapped sometimes. It was a blessing to hear someone as in shape and healthy to as Mark to say his biggest desire for us it to be at ease.
Brilliant...As a teenager I developed food "issues". I became anorexic and bulemic (spelling 🤔) and struggled for years. For over 15 years now I have eaten one meal a day and when I tell people they think I must be crazy or very unhealthy. I have maintained my 8st 5lb weight throughout these years (I'm a 5ft 5" female 55yrs old). I buy my food daily as my body tells me exactly what it wants. I will get a craving for beetroot or peanuts or grapes or advocate or eggs or bacon or cheese or yoghurt or flapjacks or beef burger or vegetables or beans or chocolate or crisps or pizza etc etc... I just intuitively know what my body wants me to eat. I eat slowly and I know when I have had enough. Some days I don't really want much but other days I will have a little "pig out"😜! I do Pilates exercises daily and am flexible, toned and extremely happy and food is no longer an issue or an obsession🙏 I have plenty of energy and my body feels happy and so do I. One meal a day works for me👌
This guy… changed my life. Thank you Mark. Been a long time follower and have sent your books to countless friends to help them get healthy. Some were saved, some not but 1 was worth it.
Thank you! I started OMAD in early March and am down 23 pounds! 16 to go. I was feeling a bit fatigued this evening and even though I wasn’t hungry my body was telling me I needed some greens. So I ate. I can love like this for the rest of my life easily.
I've been doing OMAD since May 2020 and I have lost almost 20 kgs (around 45 pounds). Needless to say I was very overweight and had a sedentary life. Thanks to OMAD I've come to realize that I much rather have one good hearty meal than eating boiled chicken and plain lettuce six times a day. My chosen meal is dinner, pretty much so I have something to look forward to at the end of the day, although I can change it to lunch or breakfast if I have a special occasion or meeting so I don't become socially awkward.
@@satanshamamotra1652 basically anything I want. Since I only eat once a day even a large meal won't make me consume extra calories, although lately I have been trying to cut back on bread with excellent results
I don't know who this man is but the video popped up and I was curious because I have been trying OMAD lately. His advice is SPOT ON! I'm 65 and eat intuitively. Mostly carnivore with intermittent fasting. Some days I'm incapable of OMAD, other days it's fine. Some days I crave sauerkraut, some days sheep yogurt. I don't think about it or question it. I just eat everything with gratitude. He's so right about not overthinking it. The body has its own wisdom for sure.
thank you for this advice I am on my 6th day of OMAD, it hasn't been a walk in the park, but I have stuck with it. 24:1. Usually, I eat in the one hour time allowed, but I noticed I haven't been eating enough, so today, I took my time eating and as the hour was approaching I still felt like I hadn't eaten enough, so I went an additional 30 mins to complete my meal. I feel so much better, and will not beat myself up knowing that I didn't eat within the hour allowed. Let me know if you struggle with this as well and although this video is old, I know many of us are still researching and watching different videos. good luck.
I know what you mean. I am eating Omad and intermittent fasting so I am only eating during that one hour then I am exercising after. My skin has cleared and in 3 weeks I have lost 12 pounds. I am really committed to doing this.
I do 22:2. I don't like to feel rushed when I'm eating my food. I know 2 hrs is more than enough time. If I finish early which I usually do I just close my eating window.
With complete respect, I think the question was completely missed/unanswered. How do you eat enough food on OMAD? If rephrased the question would be, how can I get enough calories without force feeding myself? If you remove two meals from your diet, your body does not adjust to craving 3x the calories in one sitting. Their stomach doesn't expand 3x. People like myself, who weigh 145 lbs and exercise heavily (burn a lot of calories) throughout the week cannot sit down and consume 2000 calories in one sitting. It's uncomfortable and intuitive, the opposite of what's being recommended here. My avg meal size is 300-600 calories. I cannot eat 1500 calories in one sitting.
@@iheomachieke9009 That's the whole point to OMAD being natural, there is no hard and fast "window". I eat when I want but only one meal in any one day. The time varies depending on who I'm eating with and other things going on in my day but, if I'm alone and can choose, I prefer to eat about 3pm. I eat all different kinds of ruminant meats, seafood, eggs, occasional "wilder" poultry and pork such as duck, goose, or wild boar, and I get some interesting specialty meats now and then like ostrich and kangaroo just to keep things interesting. I also eat nose-to-tail including things like organ meats, bone marrow, gelatinous cuts such as ox tail, etc.
@@drsaintdc yes that's about it. It's hard enough to take in adequate vitamins and minerals in 3 meals/day. I know how to boost calories in Keto so not so much about that just seems like you'd eventually end up with some deficiency of some kind. After almost 4 years on Keto I still can't imagine 1 meal/day !
I'm just finished easing into omad and I'm so happy to be stable now and fully able to eat my one meal without feeling hungry before or after. FINALLY! (Easing in to me about 2.5 weeks of tapering meals)
When I’m doing omad (usually do tmad) I make more of courses; I’ll have something like cheese or pate for an appetizer; then maybe a soup/salad; then my protein-fats mains, even occasionally couple square of dark chocolate or a few berries for dessert. This stretches out my meal a bit and I definitely get pleasantly full without eating excess food. I rarely get hungry in between, and if I do, a decaf coffee gets me past it.
Best weight loss strategy: Poverty 1. No money to buy food - diet 2. Can't afford car - excercise by walking everywhere 3. No job - no stress, can sleep more than 8hrs/day
insulin helps: Regulate blood sugar levels. After you eat, carbohydrates break down into glucose, a sugar that is the body's primary source of energy. Glucose then enters the bloodstream. When you eat, insulin spikes, having increased blood glucose levels. By having an OMAD diet, allows your A1C to stay in a safe range so the blood sugar doesn't remain at high levels to risk damaging blood vessels per eating 3x/day. As mwntioned prior, Carbohydrates.
I love that he talks about living and eating intuitively, and i do that naturally all the time, but i must say if you're not used to it, you need to make sure to get enough nutrition initially and get used to knowing what being fully nourished and satisfied feels like, cause most people dont feel that very often. So do a proper nutritional calculator diary evey day for all your minerals ,vitamins , amino acids, proteins and fats, to make sure you get enough and pay attention to how you feel. When you have enough grasp to tell whether you have enough or not you can then intuitively listen to your body and what it needs. Alsox make sure you eat nutrient dense foods, (superfoods) because these will give you more nutrition in less calories. You actually need only 900 calories a day to get all the nutrition you need, but it has to be from super nutrient loaded foods, otherwise you wont get the correct amount.
Definitely has been my experience as well. My journal was actually what showed me my calories had dropped about 40% over a couple of weeks without me really realizing it, and just eating to satiety. I've had to consciously be aware of it and make sure I'm cooking enough food. Love this way of eating though. It's been a Godsend. Nothing but grateful.
I lost weight on the primarily carnivore diet. Now that im at my weight i drink coffee with heavy cream and put ginger and tumeric root juiced up and strained in the coffee with some pepper. Then at lunch i eat sauerkraut and gouda cheese for lunch and then eat my main meal meat and vegetable at 5. I feel great im 69
@CriticalZero so does cholesterol which they will be getting a shit ton of on the carnivore diet, and with too much cholesterol you can get problems such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, strokes and a high blood pressure to name a few. i actually talked about this with my doctor last week and she said to keep the consumption of meat down to a minimum especially if its not organic. and actually recommended to seek more plant based sources of protein. but sure you do you.
The question should be: How do you get all the nutrition you need in a day by eating just one meal a day? If you want to eat just one meal a day, then do it and don't judge others as doing keto less perfectly if they eat more than one meal a day.
Absolutely Appreciate You Mark, It's Definitely Intuitive, Over Time You can become so comfortable with Lower Nutritional Intake That The Body Knows What It's Doing, Like Literally A Way Of Being, Exercise In A fasting state gives you major energy, like our ancestors did
I’ve Ben doing this diet now for about close to three weeks. Started at 121lbs now I’m down to 108lbs and counting. Still able to eat whatever I want along with juicing fruits and vegetables in the morning.
What a great video - aiming to move through life with grace and ease ... and intuition. Definitely don't limit this to just your food. Eating mostly fatty red meat, in a relaxed manner, my body tells me, literally from one bite to the next, when I've eaten enough at this meal. It's very empowering.
Excellent! I couldn't agree more. I think we have all become so accustomed to 'experts' telling us when, how much, how little, and so on, that we have lost track of the natural intuitiveness of our bodies. We have hunger pangs and things so we will know when to eat. Doesn't that make sense? Otherwise, why would we have it? I love IF just for that reason and particularly OMAD. I don't count ANYTHING. I eat variety, good healthy foods and when I am full I stop....period. It works like nothing else and makes perfect sense. I don't feel deprived or like I am missing anything. Cravings are almost nonexistent and when I want to indulge, I do but I just can't eat like I used to, so portion control seems to be built in. I'll never go back to 3 meals...just not necessary. I feel better than I can ever remember feeling and weight falls off and stays off, yippee!!!
That's interesting. I have been doing OMAD for 10 months and I gained about 7 pounds (an inch in waist size). I guess I'm overeating constantly. My hunger never goes away. I workout etc. Before OMAD I did Keto for 14 months and lost only 4 pounds. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
@@lol-nl9vg Thank you. I may try 18:6 fasting. I did Keto (With exact percentage) but my weight and inches didn't move for over a year.... It's just weird.
I have been doing OMAD for close to a month now… my stomach has shrunk considerably. Physically the science says it is impossible but i donno, i get full with half of my usual food capacity.
I think the problem for me has always been quality of food. I had some challenges when I started and even got oedema. Be mindful of the quality of food you eat people! Been OMAD over 2years now
One thing about all these diets is that there is just so much rules that would make it impossible. Counting calories is hard enough as it is, but then you should have get your EEA, your MTC oil, your meat that can't be too lean and must be grass fed, and you need three cups of kale, and some dark chocolate, and also to balance out you need the electrolyte but make sure it has 20mg of this, and don't eat fried stuff on your omad because it's hard on your gut, and get this supplement also to help ingest protein when your insulin spikes .
Just look at all the monk in Thailand, sri lanka, Burma.. they eat only 1 meal per day, and this practice has been for thousand of years. They have less of over weight problem like we do in America. And that is more than any scientific study or research. Also the guidelines for food consumption pyramid had changed considerately What was ok before become not ok after heart disease, over weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc became so prevalent in our society. Just ask yourself this if you need 3000 calories a day for all your movement, action, thinking on that day and you consume 4000 calories, what happens to the extra 1000 ?
I try and go with my gut and also have a calire number in mind. Because of I dont try and eat at least a somewhat specific amount, i get hungry an hour later. I try and incorporate healthy fats, like avacodo, olives, butters , bacon from time to time.
I ate this way most of my life out of busyness and not being hungry. I didn't know it was a thing. When I started lifting and being told I need four to five meals a day is when I changed. I eventually gained weight when I stopped lifting and eating right and still doing multiple meals. Gonna go back to this.
My cousin back in the 60s ate just one meal a day. He was still in school and never told anyone he was doing it. I had been on deployment for over a year and when I came home he was over 100 pounds lighter, that is when I found out he had ate that way because he didn't know of any other way to lose the weight, and he was desperate. So I know it works, and most her fasting ways works too, as long as you follow the direction of the plan you are doing. A few year back I gave lecture sat colleges and health food store on various ways to fast. And Mark I do get your emails, for more than a year now....thanks.
been doing omad low carb 2 months and loss 20 pounds.. Gout has been gone in the first week.. never had a gout attack or symptoms again.. Fasting is a state of mind and body and strange.. I eat in the evening and omad can condition you for a prolonged fast.. l want to do 72 hours next... sometime appetite is gone and hard to eat a full meal in 1 sitting.. omad does change relationship with food.. Thanks for your video and you look great
I was having mild fat loss with keto, 8:16. Then I tried OMAD with the same keto structure, and I just couldn't eat the amount needed. But I didn't want to eat too few calories. So I just made a minimum macro count of protein and fat, then made sure I ate some veggies, then filled the rest with nonsense just to eat my calories in order to do OMAD. And my running endurance didn't drop, weight loss sped up incredibly, and didn't lose any strength in my lifts. So through trial and error, I've figured out OMAD is best for me, since it has the best results while I get to eat dumb food haha.
Tbh i am doing OMAD from 1 july today it is 16july at the very first day i was 96.60kgs and 16 days later means today i weigh about 89.20kgs!! Omad really helps!
I'm doing a one meal a day diet. And it's lesstthan 1000 calories a day. A mother less. But if I was to work out in the evening could I possibly have a protein shake in the morning. And then co tinue to fast till the evening and have my meal? Will effect my ketosis, and blood sugar levels? Or am I just better off sticking to the one meal a day for weight loss. As that's my main objective?
@@goodlifesince90 that's a very good point, I will give that a try and see how I try on with it. Current diet is a bit extreme but a protein shake agent my work out isn't going to stop me from burning fat
I use OMAD to loose weight now, and it's going fine. I don't think is a good way to eat, for most people, unless you want to drop fat. I could not manage eating 2500cals in one meal all the time for maintenance. Much better to spread it out on 2-3 meals if one is at goal weight. (This is my plan when I get there)
at work i work from 3 to 3 so ill eat my only meal at 1130 am amd wont think about food , but off days i push the meal back far so im not thinking of food
For those who stopped doing OMAD, is there any rebound gain weight effect? I am very scared about this method because, coming from an African household where food is very much part of the social life, it is not sustainable to do it everyday for the rest of my life... Intermittent is more realistic for me. Still, OMAD seems to have greater results in less of time.
Martin Shepherd that’s actually what I thought doing. The thing is I’ve also noticed, and maybe that the quarantine effect: I’ve been doing Omad for a week while being careful of what I eat. I’ve made two homemade unhealthy dishes (burgers with salad for side) but I did not experimented drastic changes in my weight. I was already very low in my calories (1300k per day). That week, the average was 700-1000 per day. I got to 1000 when I ate a burger... anyways I feel like the more you weight the easier this method has an effect on your body. But I’m here at 154 (with nice curves at the right place thought) wanting to lose 15lb and nothing had and quick result on my body! Maybe I gain some muscle too?! I’ll try omad for a month but otherwise I will just get back to a regular 16:8 window to minimize the rebound effect.
Personally for me OMAD is not sustainable because not only can I not eat a whole lot in one sitting, but after about 3 hours I'd feel hungry again. So now my goal is to eat 3 healthy meals starting at 10 or 11 and ending at 6 or 7. Consisting of a large breakfast, medium sized lunch and small dinner.
Vanessa Guilarte an update. I did Omad 20:4 during a month. I still ate clean 6/7 days. Since I’m an endomorph, I only lost 6lb. But it’s was still a victory for me. An important fact is that i don’t look overweight. I’m curently 150 with tight and a big booty lol. I feel like a lot of people talking about their great result were very overweight or obese. Because I was always skinnier (135lb), I’m looking to lose that extra 10lb. For me, Omad was not sustainable. I rather intermittent fasting 16:8. I was tired all day long with Omad and my job requires that I focus a lot. I 2 weeks after stopping Omad I did not bounced back. Yet, right now, I feel like i gain a bit of weight back since I stopped training and the quarantine is sill something we kinda have to do. Finally talking about training: It was really hard to do when you did not eat. I’m very impressed by pple who workout in fasting mode. I would recommend, except if you did not experienced what I’ve just said, to do IF with 16:8, while eating clean as most as possible and doing sport. You’ll have a similar results but it will take a longer period of time. Omad for a while is good too. I will still do OMAD but during the weekend is better for me!
@@stephanies3862 ofc it's different for everyone, and you may be one these cases where OMAD is not really an option, but I can still give you one advice: Do 18:6 and try to transition to OMAD over time. You will learn an important lesson: What you feel after 3 hours is not hunger! It appetite. It's lust for food, not the need for hunger. And intervall fasting can make you realize that and make your body/mind come to the right conclusions.
I still have quite a bit of body fat to burn, but I am a fat burner. I don't know whether I should be eating less (OMAD) or if I should be trying to get enough protein. Which is more effective for being lean? Eating OMAD, I probably eat less than 70g of protein. I'm at 180lbs now so I would aim for 126g of protein a day, but I would have to eat several meals to hit that.
I tink the best example is have fruit eer it let it digest 15 min later then start je omad make 3 different favorite healrhy meals carb meal 1 proteïne meal 2 and fats 3, so example have Orange and apples then start cooking eer je carb meal e.g 4 toast with spread meal 2 proteïne e.g chicken egg then the fat cold be anything combined then folkwed by a quick dessert so u dont and up binging later best later at night then sleep of u eet early in the day u be starving and unable to sleep the best advice no lol fat food so full fat cheese or yoghurt
People have gravitated to eating way too much and then eating poor food quality with empty carbs and deadly sugars. Critics need to ask, why are there so many kids are acting out or can't learn in school? Why are there are so many fat people? Why all the aged people going to the doctors and taking legalized drugs? They eat too much, too often and poor quality. I'm 71, healthy, drug free and love OMAD! It totally a better way to eat.
I did OMAD for 2 weeks. I only intended to try it 1 week. I underrate. I completely lost my appetite and motivation to cook. And then there was no food. I got quite scared. I had a lot of clear thinking and nervous energy. I ended up have a feast that had been planned. Then was totally dehydrated with palpitations. I didn't ever feel I had control. And I have listened to so many videos on this.
You need to start slowly with a 16/8 split to get your body fat adapted. Once fat adapted you will feel very different. You should be focusing on doing it for health. That means getting your food straight. I only eat from butchers for my meat now as best quality. Ive learned how to make my own salad dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, raw ginger, garlic and salt and pepper. Its amazing. Salads consist of onion lettuce, red cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and carrots. I prep for 3 days so a big salad. Learn how to cook properly first and foremost. I dont eat carbs or sugar. I finnish each meal with a 90% lindt dark chocolate about 4 squares with either a bowl of strawberries with full fat cream or just a coffe :) i was 218lbs now im 180lbs and in the best shape of my life. No sugar or carbs cravings. I easily train twice a day as im always buzzing with energy. I rest inbetween. Different outlook to life now and love it. Im 31/m and got a black eye at boxing other day! Love it got a buzz for life again. Apologies for the spelling errors but wanted to share my experiance over the last couple of months. Thats right 2 months weight loss. Being doing it for about 4 months but only just started recording my journey start of june 😁
I first stopped snacking and then stopped eating breakfast in the morning. Now I am on 2 meals a day. I’m planning to go OMAD but every night when I get home trying to skip dinner, I can’t do it because my wife is preparing fresh dinner and eating it. I will appreciate if anyone can tell me a solution. Please help!? 🙏
Does anyone have any tips about OMAD while still maintaining adequate calories? They say not to go below 1200 but I find it hard to eat a large meal at one time with enough calories. After an hour I get too full to eat more and I don’t want to slow my metabolism.
Maybe try to eat your normal big meal (lunch, dinner) and eat some snack foods after (nuts are high in calories - 100 calories is 6 macadamia nuts or 13 almonds or 10 cashews; dried fruits are also a good pick in this case, but don't overeat them). Also, make your main meal higher in calories adding salmon, oily fish or red meat, avocados, cheese, whatever you like and has more calories. Good luck!! I hope you find your balance
From my research and experience, it may be helpful to make a rough sketch (even if its in your head) of what you need calorie, macro/micro nutrient wise and then what foods fit into this then decide which foods fill you up the most, you will eat those at the end while you will eat the less filling foods at the start. This will also help you go longer without feeling hungry. So for example you'll want to break your fast with something light that isn't going to dramatically spike blood sugar, then maybe have some fruit or some type of "appetizer" something that stimulates appetite, then have your larger meal with the more filling foods such as meat, then if you're like me and need something sweet find something that isn't going to spike blood sugar, maybe some full fat yogurt with nut butter and some whipped cream, or some cheese. It is tempting to reach for a real dessert because of the calories, but it can really throw off blood sugar. I feel that the last foods I eat for the day can really make or break how I feel the next day and it is a constant learning process to find what works and what doesn't.
I usually eat one meal of about 1800 calories, a big ribeye steak with some eggs, apple, glass of milk. If I have a heavy lifting day I’ll have some more carbs like a baked potato, cup of rice, or old fashioned oats. Then I’ll drink some coffee with coconut oil I will typically start to get hungry 20-22 hours later which is easily held off with water or coffee.
Hello. Thank you for video. I'm doing OMAD, I couldn't find in internet, any information about how much food can I eat in OMAD. I started doing OMAD, because I love to eat a lot, before I used to eat 3 times a day, each meal 1000-1200 calories, that's why decided to start doing OMAD. Who knows, real information about OMAD, about calories? Thank you in advance
I seem to of fell I to omad past few days.. I'm finding it very easy to go without.. Even if I get a thought of food later on I'm actually having a discussion with myself.. Do you really need it? R u actually hungry etc.. Most times I'm not lol.. I'm also doing the low aerobic runs an bike rides at the mo rather than my usual so called easy runs where I'm running a decent pace yet feels OK but my hr is high... Some ppl think I'm mad for doing it but as Mark says here u have to do what you think is right at the time and see where it takes you.. So far in my body and myself I'm feeling pretty dam good
Agree with this 100%. The body doesn't need that much food - it really doesn't. I've been eating OMAD for 4 years and Im astounded how efficient the body is at adjusting to variations in my caloric expenditure.

How long did it take you to adjust? Any beginners tips? I've done paleo before btw
This is my second day of OMAD
Please wish me a luck readers.
Thanks in advance 👍
Good luck
All d besttt
How are you doing now?
It’s super easy Bro! When I feel the hunger pangs throughout the day I just “know” it’s my body grabbing a snack off of my stored fat to keep moving.
Same. Me too. 2nd day omad
OMAD is the best. Took months to adjust to it, but a super healthy time saver. Having the discipline to not snack. Plus you really see what foodies people are, geezus, they are constantly eating.
Their digestion and bowels never get a break. Plus of course the constant insulin spikes. 60 here and in the best shape of my life. Just wish I had this knowledge 20-30 years ago, but better late than never.
I just started, but the time saving aspect is what I'm most excited by. I can spend 20 per meal 3 times a day to make something that's just "ok", or I can spend an hour (but usually less) making a really good, substantial dinner.
I’ve been contemplating OMAD. But I am not someone who can eat a lot in one sitting. So not sure how to do this :(
@@AmbikaMenon-eu6lm Just extend your eating window as much as you need. I prefer about a 4 hour window. Getting a full 2000-2500 calorie meal in one go is really difficult, and almost impossible if you want to include less calorie dense things like vegetables.
Thanks for sharing. What does your normal meal look like/consist of? Can you tell us a sample meal with quantities? Thanks.
@@AmbikaMenon-eu6lm your body does not want to starve trust me. It wants to stay alive and as good as possible. So how much you can eat will go up naturally.

Brilliant...As a teenager I developed food "issues". I became anorexic and bulemic (spelling 🤔) and struggled for years. For over 15 years now I have eaten one meal a day and when I tell people they think I must be crazy or very unhealthy. I have maintained my 8st 5lb weight throughout these years (I'm a 5ft 5" female 55yrs old). I buy my food daily as my body tells me exactly what it wants. I will get a craving for beetroot or peanuts or grapes or advocate or eggs or bacon or cheese or yoghurt or flapjacks or beef burger or vegetables or beans or chocolate or crisps or pizza etc etc... I just intuitively know what my body wants me to eat. I eat slowly and I know when I have had enough. Some days I don't really want much but other days I will have a little "pig out"😜! I do Pilates exercises daily and am flexible, toned and extremely happy and food is no longer an issue or an obsession🙏 I have plenty of energy and my body feels happy and so do I. One meal a day works for me👌
How many calories do you eat a day?
Congratulations! That’s great to hear
You're amazing!
Your very healthy I calculated your BMI 😂🙈.

This guy… changed my life. Thank you Mark. Been a long time follower and have sent your books to countless friends to help them get healthy. Some were saved, some not but 1 was worth it.
Thank you! I started OMAD in early March and am down 23 pounds! 16 to go. I was feeling a bit fatigued this evening and even though I wasn’t hungry my body was telling me I needed some greens. So I ate. I can love like this for the rest of my life easily.
Congrats!
I've been doing OMAD since May 2020 and I have lost almost 20 kgs (around 45 pounds). Needless to say I was very overweight and had a sedentary life. Thanks to OMAD I've come to realize that I much rather have one good hearty meal than eating boiled chicken and plain lettuce six times a day.
My chosen meal is dinner, pretty much so I have something to look forward to at the end of the day, although I can change it to lunch or breakfast if I have a special occasion or meeting so I don't become socially awkward.
How much did you weigh and how much now?
What did you eat?
@@freshair9133 I started with 120 kgs and I'm now 97
@@satanshamamotra1652 basically anything I want. Since I only eat once a day even a large meal won't make me consume extra calories, although lately I have been trying to cut back on bread with excellent results
@@melloslash have you lost more weight since? Also you eat home cooked meals?
I don't know who this man is but the video popped up and I was curious because I have been trying OMAD lately. His advice is SPOT ON!
I'm 65 and eat intuitively. Mostly carnivore with intermittent fasting. Some days I'm incapable of OMAD, other days it's fine. Some days I crave sauerkraut, some days sheep yogurt. I don't think about it or question it. I just eat everything with gratitude. He's so right about not overthinking it. The body has its own wisdom for sure.
thank you for this advice I am on my 6th day of OMAD, it hasn't been a walk in the park, but I have stuck with it. 24:1. Usually, I eat in the one hour time allowed, but I noticed I haven't been eating enough, so today, I took my time eating and as the hour was approaching I still felt like I hadn't eaten enough, so I went an additional 30 mins to complete my meal. I feel so much better, and will not beat myself up knowing that I didn't eat within the hour allowed. Let me know if you struggle with this as well and although this video is old, I know many of us are still researching and watching different videos. good luck.
It's one meal a day, not one hour a day ;) eat until satisfied
I know what you mean. I am eating Omad and intermittent fasting so I am only eating during that one hour then I am exercising after. My skin has cleared and in 3 weeks I have lost 12 pounds. I am really committed to doing this.
I do 22:2. I don't like to feel rushed when I'm eating my food. I know 2 hrs is more than enough time. If I finish early which I usually do I just close my eating window.
Can u tell what u eat?
It’s definitely not one hour a day!! That’s crazy
With complete respect, I think the question was completely missed/unanswered. How do you eat enough food on OMAD? If rephrased the question would be, how can I get enough calories without force feeding myself?
If you remove two meals from your diet, your body does not adjust to craving 3x the calories in one sitting. Their stomach doesn't expand 3x. People like myself, who weigh 145 lbs and exercise heavily (burn a lot of calories) throughout the week cannot sit down and consume 2000 calories in one sitting. It's uncomfortable and intuitive, the opposite of what's being recommended here.
My avg meal size is 300-600 calories. I cannot eat 1500 calories in one sitting.
It’s not about 1 sitting. It’s about a time frame. Let’s say eat between 4pm-8pm. Then stop eating till the next day 4pm.
OMAD just comes naturally to me. I don't even consider it to be IFing. To me it's just eating when I'm hungry but I only get hungry once a day.
@Flavia Hodgin Usually about 3 or 4 pm works for me. I find I sleep better if I don't go to bed on a full stomach.
@@robinbeers6689 whats your eating window on omad? and what do you normally eat?
@@iheomachieke9009 That's the whole point to OMAD being natural, there is no hard and fast "window". I eat when I want but only one meal in any one day. The time varies depending on who I'm eating with and other things going on in my day but, if I'm alone and can choose, I prefer to eat about 3pm. I eat all different kinds of ruminant meats, seafood, eggs, occasional "wilder" poultry and pork such as duck, goose, or wild boar, and I get some interesting specialty meats now and then like ostrich and kangaroo just to keep things interesting.
I also eat nose-to-tail including things like organ meats, bone marrow, gelatinous cuts such as ox tail, etc.
I started omad last 3days back within a calorie restriction am doing but my weight scale is not moving .kindly suggest me what to di
@@twaralo3248 Be patient and don't obsess about calories.
OMAD is doable for me but my concern isn't about quantity it's about quality & nutritional adequacy.
and for me at 71, the "right" balance of protein and fat
Yeah that’s the same with me.
Curious what you mean. Like feeling more pressure to get that one meal "right" and healthy?
@@drsaintdc yes that's about it. It's hard enough to take in adequate vitamins and minerals in 3 meals/day. I know how to boost calories in Keto so not so much about that just seems like you'd eventually end up with some deficiency of some kind. After almost 4 years on Keto I still can't imagine 1 meal/day !
@@thirdsister107 yeah. Why change up. Seems you’re on a roll.
I'm just finished easing into omad and I'm so happy to be stable now and fully able to eat my one meal without feeling hungry before or after. FINALLY!
(Easing in to me about 2.5 weeks of tapering meals)
When I’m doing omad (usually do tmad) I make more of courses; I’ll have something like cheese or pate for an appetizer; then maybe a soup/salad; then my protein-fats mains, even occasionally couple square of dark chocolate or a few berries for dessert. This stretches out my meal a bit and I definitely get pleasantly full without eating excess food. I rarely get hungry in between, and if I do, a decaf coffee gets me past it.
Best weight loss strategy: Poverty
1. No money to buy food - diet
2. Can't afford car - excercise by walking everywhere
3. No job - no stress, can sleep more than 8hrs/day
Lol
It works
Honestly its just the no job. I have a car and money. And i have all the time and very little stress
insulin helps: Regulate blood sugar levels. After you eat, carbohydrates break down into glucose, a sugar that is the body's primary source of energy. Glucose then enters the bloodstream.
When you eat, insulin spikes, having increased blood glucose levels.
By having an OMAD diet, allows your A1C to stay in a safe range so the blood sugar doesn't remain at high levels to risk damaging blood vessels per eating 3x/day.
As mwntioned prior,
Carbohydrates.
I would love a video on beneficial foods to eat during my 1 hour eating window.
I love that he talks about living and eating intuitively, and i do that naturally all the time, but i must say if you're not used to it, you need to make sure to get enough nutrition initially and get used to knowing what being fully nourished and satisfied feels like, cause most people dont feel that very often. So do a proper nutritional calculator diary evey day for all your minerals ,vitamins , amino acids, proteins and fats, to make sure you get enough and pay attention to how you feel. When you have enough grasp to tell whether you have enough or not you can then intuitively listen to your body and what it needs. Alsox make sure you eat nutrient dense foods, (superfoods) because these will give you more nutrition in less calories. You actually need only 900 calories a day to get all the nutrition you need, but it has to be from super nutrient loaded foods, otherwise you wont get the correct amount.
Dude, did you even listen to what he just said in this video at all? 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks luv wat u have to say just wat I was looking for!
... 'push your plate away' 🤣 never done that before.
Definitely has been my experience as well. My journal was actually what showed me my calories had dropped about 40% over a couple of weeks without me really realizing it, and just eating to satiety. I've had to consciously be aware of it and make sure I'm cooking enough food. Love this way of eating though. It's been a Godsend. Nothing but grateful.
I lost weight on the primarily carnivore diet. Now that im at my weight i drink coffee with heavy cream and put ginger and tumeric root juiced up and strained in the coffee with some pepper. Then at lunch i eat sauerkraut and gouda cheese for lunch and then eat my main meal meat and vegetable at 5. I feel great im 69
Omg the carnivore diet 🤭 I can’t even imagine what’s going on in your arteries
@CriticalZero so does cholesterol which they will be getting a shit ton of on the carnivore diet, and with too much cholesterol you can get problems such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, strokes and a high blood pressure to name a few. i actually talked about this with my doctor last week and she said to keep the consumption of meat down to a minimum especially if its not organic. and actually recommended to seek more plant based sources of protein. but sure you do you.
I have been doing IMAD, i overate everyday, I feel extremely ful... good that I found this video
The question should be: How do you get all the nutrition you need in a day by eating just one meal a day? If you want to eat just one meal a day, then do it and don't judge others as doing keto less perfectly if they eat more than one meal a day.
Absolutely Appreciate You Mark, It's Definitely Intuitive, Over Time You can become so comfortable with Lower Nutritional Intake That The Body Knows What It's Doing, Like Literally A Way Of Being, Exercise In A fasting state gives you major energy, like our ancestors did
I’ve Ben doing this diet now for about close to three weeks. Started at 121lbs now I’m down to 108lbs and counting. Still able to eat whatever I want along with juicing fruits and vegetables in the morning.
You’re a man that weighs 108?!
@@WildwoodFern typo error 221lbs now down to 198lbs
What a great video - aiming to move through life with grace and ease ... and intuition. Definitely don't limit this to just your food.
Eating mostly fatty red meat, in a relaxed manner, my body tells me, literally from one bite to the next, when I've eaten enough at this meal.
It's very empowering.
Excellent! I couldn't agree more. I think we have all become so accustomed to 'experts' telling us when, how much, how little, and so on, that we have lost track of the natural intuitiveness of our bodies. We have hunger pangs and things so we will know when to eat. Doesn't that make sense? Otherwise, why would we have it? I love IF just for that reason and particularly OMAD. I don't count ANYTHING. I eat variety, good healthy foods and when I am full I stop....period. It works like nothing else and makes perfect sense. I don't feel deprived or like I am missing anything. Cravings are almost nonexistent and when I want to indulge, I do but I just can't eat like I used to, so portion control seems to be built in. I'll never go back to 3 meals...just not necessary. I feel better than I can ever remember feeling and weight falls off and stays off, yippee!!!
That's interesting.
I have been doing OMAD for 10 months and I gained about 7 pounds (an inch in waist size). I guess I'm overeating constantly. My hunger never goes away. I workout etc.
Before OMAD I did Keto for 14 months and lost only 4 pounds.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
@@EEEBA1 if you always feel hungry, OMAD isn’t for you .
@@lol-nl9vg Thank you.
I may try 18:6 fasting. I did Keto (With exact percentage) but my weight and inches didn't move for over a year.... It's just weird.
@Tafari I Thank you so much.
"mindful" : can you remember when we use to say "conscious" or "careful"
IF and OMAD has helped my health and wallet. I'm less prone to snacking and I'm losing fat quickly!
This was a very helpful and timely message for me, thanks
"Doctor I feel bad what should I change to be healthier?" "Just feel confident lol just do what you think is best"
Funny thing is Doctors do not know either.
I have been doing OMAD for close to a month now… my stomach has shrunk considerably. Physically the science says it is impossible but i donno, i get full with half of my usual food capacity.
Ever thought of doing a one hour call in show and taking questions ?
I think the problem for me has always been quality of food. I had some challenges when I started and even got oedema. Be mindful of the quality of food you eat people! Been OMAD over 2years now
What does your daily meal looks like?
One thing about all these diets is that there is just so much rules that would make it impossible. Counting calories is hard enough as it is, but then you should have get your EEA, your MTC oil, your meat that can't be too lean and must be grass fed, and you need three cups of kale, and some dark chocolate, and also to balance out you need the electrolyte but make sure it has 20mg of this, and don't eat fried stuff on your omad because it's hard on your gut, and get this supplement also to help ingest protein when your insulin spikes .
Absolutely
Just look at all the monk in Thailand, sri lanka, Burma.. they eat only 1 meal per day, and this practice has been for thousand of years. They have less of over weight problem like we do in America. And that is more than any scientific study or research. Also the guidelines for food consumption pyramid had changed considerately What was ok before become not ok after heart disease, over weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc became so prevalent in our society. Just ask yourself this if you need 3000 calories a day for all your movement, action, thinking on that day and you consume 4000 calories, what happens to the extra 1000 ?
I just don’t watch the time and stay busy. Sometimes it’s hard to stop and eat!
The right question is not getting enough food but getting enough nutrition on OMAD. Could you show pictures of vegetarian samples for OMAD?
Insightful and intelligent. Well spoken. Great job, Sir.
Thank you so much for this much needed video.🙏
I try and go with my gut and also have a calire number in mind. Because of I dont try and eat at least a somewhat specific amount, i get hungry an hour later. I try and incorporate healthy fats, like avacodo, olives, butters , bacon from time to time.
I heard coffee (black coffee) can help with cravings.
I ate this way most of my life out of busyness and not being hungry. I didn't know it was a thing. When I started lifting and being told I need four to five meals a day is when I changed. I eventually gained weight when I stopped lifting and eating right and still doing multiple meals. Gonna go back to this.
Wow, very impressed with his message
My cousin back in the 60s ate just one meal a day. He was still in school and never told anyone he was doing it. I had been on deployment for over a year and when I came home he was over 100 pounds lighter, that is when I found out he had ate that way because he didn't know of any other way to lose the weight, and he was desperate. So I know it works, and most her fasting ways works too, as long as you follow the direction of the plan you are doing. A few year back I gave lecture sat colleges and health food store on various ways to fast. And Mark I do get your emails, for more than a year now....thanks.
been doing omad low carb 2 months and loss 20 pounds.. Gout has been gone in the first week.. never had a gout attack or symptoms again.. Fasting is a state of mind and body and strange.. I eat in the evening and omad can condition you for a prolonged fast.. l want to do 72 hours next... sometime appetite is gone and hard to eat a full meal in 1 sitting.. omad does change relationship with food.. Thanks for your video and you look great
I do 2 meals/day and would like to do one but unless I massively overeat, I end up a stick man.
Exercise!
Yeah
When I started OMAD, my body weight didn't budge. So now I do it only a few times a week.
Nicely said, just know, this is deep.
Exactly how do you get enough food omad? Great video!
I was having mild fat loss with keto, 8:16. Then I tried OMAD with the same keto structure, and I just couldn't eat the amount needed. But I didn't want to eat too few calories.
So I just made a minimum macro count of protein and fat, then made sure I ate some veggies, then filled the rest with nonsense just to eat my calories in order to do OMAD. And my running endurance didn't drop, weight loss sped up incredibly, and didn't lose any strength in my lifts.
So through trial and error, I've figured out OMAD is best for me, since it has the best results while I get to eat dumb food haha.
Tbh i am doing OMAD from 1 july today it is 16july at the very first day i was 96.60kgs and 16 days later means today i weigh about 89.20kgs!! Omad really helps!
I worry about not getting enough calories. I don’t want to lose weight.
Intuitively........that is the key!
I'm doing a one meal a day diet. And it's lesstthan 1000 calories a day. A mother less. But if I was to work out in the evening could I possibly have a protein shake in the morning. And then co tinue to fast till the evening and have my meal? Will effect my ketosis, and blood sugar levels? Or am I just better off sticking to the one meal a day for weight loss. As that's my main objective?
Am not a nutritionist but what I know is it will break your fast. Why dont u have the protein shake after your exercise in the evening?
@@goodlifesince90 that's a very good point, I will give that a try and see how I try on with it. Current diet is a bit extreme but a protein shake agent my work out isn't going to stop me from burning fat
YESSSSSSS, I'M LOOOVING OMAD, FRIENDS WELCOME!!!
I use OMAD to loose weight now, and it's going fine. I don't think is a good way to eat, for most people, unless you want to drop fat. I could not manage eating 2500cals in one meal all the time for maintenance. Much better to spread it out on 2-3 meals if one is at goal weight. (This is my plan when I get there)
Beautiful video 🙌🏻
I ate three drumsticks and a salad and I'm so full. I know I have to eat more but I still have too much fat.
Yup. Listen to your body. Full stop!!🤔
You'd be surprised at how little the body actually needs, as far as food goes.
at work i work from 3 to 3 so ill eat my only meal at 1130 am amd wont think about food , but off days i push the meal back far so im not thinking of food
For those who stopped doing OMAD, is there any rebound gain weight effect? I am very scared about this method because, coming from an African household where food is very much part of the social life, it is not sustainable to do it everyday for the rest of my life... Intermittent is more realistic for me. Still, OMAD seems to have greater results in less of time.
Martin Shepherd that’s actually what I thought doing. The thing is I’ve also noticed, and maybe that the quarantine effect: I’ve been doing Omad for a week while being careful of what I eat. I’ve made two homemade unhealthy dishes (burgers with salad for side) but I did not experimented drastic changes in my weight. I was already very low in my calories (1300k per day). That week, the average was 700-1000 per day. I got to 1000 when I ate a burger... anyways I feel like the more you weight the easier this method has an effect on your body. But I’m here at 154 (with nice curves at the right place thought) wanting to lose 15lb and nothing had and quick result on my body! Maybe I gain some muscle too?! I’ll try omad for a month but otherwise I will just get back to a regular 16:8 window to minimize the rebound effect.
Personally for me OMAD is not sustainable because not only can I not eat a whole lot in one sitting, but after about 3 hours I'd feel hungry again. So now my goal is to eat 3 healthy meals starting at 10 or 11 and ending at 6 or 7. Consisting of a large breakfast, medium sized lunch and small dinner.
@@EvaKNF it's like I'm reading myself 😅 what worked for you??
Vanessa Guilarte an update. I did Omad 20:4 during a month. I still ate clean 6/7 days. Since I’m an endomorph, I only lost 6lb. But it’s was still a victory for me. An important fact is that i don’t look overweight. I’m curently 150 with tight and a big booty lol. I feel like a lot of people talking about their great result were very overweight or obese. Because I was always skinnier (135lb), I’m looking to lose that extra 10lb.
For me, Omad was not sustainable. I rather intermittent fasting 16:8. I was tired all day long with Omad and my job requires that I focus a lot. I 2 weeks after stopping Omad I did not bounced back. Yet, right now, I feel like i gain a bit of weight back since I stopped training and the quarantine is sill something we kinda have to do.
Finally talking about training: It was really hard to do when you did not eat. I’m very impressed by pple who workout in fasting mode. I would recommend, except if you did not experienced what I’ve just said, to do IF with 16:8, while eating clean as most as possible and doing sport. You’ll have a similar results but it will take a longer period of time. Omad for a while is good too.
I will still do OMAD but during the weekend is better for me!
@@stephanies3862 ofc it's different for everyone, and you may be one these cases where OMAD is not really an option, but I can still give you one advice: Do 18:6 and try to transition to OMAD over time. You will learn an important lesson: What you feel after 3 hours is not hunger! It appetite. It's lust for food, not the need for hunger. And intervall fasting can make you realize that and make your body/mind come to the right conclusions.
My appetite is too small. I'm not sure I can do OMAD. People with bigger stomachs can do it but I'm already super skinny so idk.
Intuition... Right.... Now - an important question about it - what kind of watch Mark wears here?
BP what does that have to do with anything ?
Patek
i cook regular breakfast and save it for lunch time, then I eat both and skip dinner
Cold eggs?
Ok, the question wasn't answered.
Off topic, you are not answering the question of your title, the question is how you get enough?
💯 👍 agree
Intermittent fasting, bulletproof coffee. Works for me.
I still have quite a bit of body fat to burn, but I am a fat burner. I don't know whether I should be eating less (OMAD) or if I should be trying to get enough protein. Which is more effective for being lean? Eating OMAD, I probably eat less than 70g of protein. I'm at 180lbs now so I would aim for 126g of protein a day, but I would have to eat several meals to hit that.
Break it into 2 meals within your eating window
Cool profile pic. Fredrick Douglas was a phenomenal man. ✊🏿
Thank you. Very helpful.
10th day on OMAD its getting better each and every day!!!!!!!!!!
Day 3 and it's hard, but definitely gonna push

I almost thought he meant Marx not Mark's, I was like, "OMG, am I on some Commie diet now?"
HAHAHAHAHAHA ❤️
I tink the best example is have fruit eer it let it digest 15 min later then start je omad make 3 different favorite healrhy meals carb meal 1 proteïne meal 2 and fats 3, so example have Orange and apples then start cooking eer je carb meal e.g 4 toast with spread meal 2 proteïne e.g chicken egg then the fat cold be anything combined then folkwed by a quick dessert so u dont and up binging later best later at night then sleep of u eet early in the day u be starving and unable to sleep the best advice no lol fat food so full fat cheese or yoghurt
People have gravitated to eating way too much and then eating poor food quality with empty carbs and deadly sugars. Critics need to ask, why are there so many kids are acting out or can't learn in school? Why are there are so many fat people? Why all the aged people going to the doctors and taking legalized drugs? They eat too much, too often and poor quality. I'm 71, healthy, drug free and love OMAD! It totally a better way to eat.
Great guy, thank you sir 👍
I did OMAD for 2 weeks. I only intended to try it 1 week. I underrate. I completely lost my appetite and motivation to cook. And then there was no food. I got quite scared. I had a lot of clear thinking and nervous energy. I ended up have a feast that had been planned. Then was totally dehydrated with palpitations. I didn't ever feel I had control. And I have listened to so many videos on this.
Wtf
You need to start slowly with a 16/8 split to get your body fat adapted. Once fat adapted you will feel very different. You should be focusing on doing it for health. That means getting your food straight. I only eat from butchers for my meat now as best quality. Ive learned how to make my own salad dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, raw ginger, garlic and salt and pepper. Its amazing. Salads consist of onion lettuce, red cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and carrots. I prep for 3 days so a big salad.
Learn how to cook properly first and foremost. I dont eat carbs or sugar. I finnish each meal with a 90% lindt dark chocolate about 4 squares with either a bowl of strawberries with full fat cream or just a coffe :) i was 218lbs now im 180lbs and in the best shape of my life.
No sugar or carbs cravings.
I easily train twice a day as im always buzzing with energy. I rest inbetween. Different outlook to life now and love it.
Im 31/m and got a black eye at boxing other day! Love it got a buzz for life again.
Apologies for the spelling errors but wanted to share my experiance over the last couple of months. Thats right 2 months weight loss. Being doing it for about 4 months but only just started recording my journey start of june 😁
Palpitations from lack of electrolites (potassium magnesium salt etc)
Sounds like you had blood sugar issues
You only eat healthy foods. I eat until I’m satisfied. I don’t stuff myself. In addition, I take supplements.
Im 39...and I can eat 1800 calories in 30 mins or less. Why are people not able to eat like that? Lol im hungry 😉 i do workout
If that was my only meal I'd be in big trouble.
Well said
I first stopped snacking and then stopped eating breakfast in the morning. Now I am on 2 meals a day. I’m planning to go OMAD but every night when I get home trying to skip dinner, I can’t do it because my wife is preparing fresh dinner and eating it. I will appreciate if anyone can tell me a solution. Please help!? 🙏
Why not make dinner your one meal? You'll have energy all day and then a nice meal with your partner.
@@TerriblePerfection Good idea 🙏.
I'm fine going all day long but I keep missing my protein target :(
THANK YOUUUUU
so basically i learnt f all from this.. thanks
Does anyone have any tips about OMAD while still maintaining adequate calories? They say not to go below 1200 but I find it hard to eat a large meal at one time with enough calories. After an hour I get too full to eat more and I don’t want to slow my metabolism.
Maybe try to eat your normal big meal (lunch, dinner) and eat some snack foods after (nuts are high in calories - 100 calories is 6 macadamia nuts or 13 almonds or 10 cashews; dried fruits are also a good pick in this case, but don't overeat them). Also, make your main meal higher in calories adding salmon, oily fish or red meat, avocados, cheese, whatever you like and has more calories. Good luck!! I hope you find your balance
From my research and experience, it may be helpful to make a rough sketch (even if its in your head) of what you need calorie, macro/micro nutrient wise and then what foods fit into this then decide which foods fill you up the most, you will eat those at the end while you will eat the less filling foods at the start. This will also help you go longer without feeling hungry. So for example you'll want to break your fast with something light that isn't going to dramatically spike blood sugar, then maybe have some fruit or some type of "appetizer" something that stimulates appetite, then have your larger meal with the more filling foods such as meat, then if you're like me and need something sweet find something that isn't going to spike blood sugar, maybe some full fat yogurt with nut butter and some whipped cream, or some cheese. It is tempting to reach for a real dessert because of the calories, but it can really throw off blood sugar. I feel that the last foods I eat for the day can really make or break how I feel the next day and it is a constant learning process to find what works and what doesn't.
@@MB19ap this was actually very insightful. I could make like an appetizer.
I usually eat one meal of about 1800 calories, a big ribeye steak with some eggs, apple, glass of milk. If I have a heavy lifting day I’ll have some more carbs like a baked potato, cup of rice, or old fashioned oats. Then I’ll drink some coffee with coconut oil I will typically start to get hungry 20-22 hours later which is easily held off with water or coffee.
2 hour window. Have a shake and. Maybe an apple or whatever then large meal an hour later still omad but easier to get those calories in 👍
I eat healthy no su g ar or processed foods no alcohol and ill eat when im hungry but the foids i eat are all healthy so it doesnt matter
"How do you you"?
I rarely feel hungry
The best
I'm sick of cooking all the time
Just listen to your body.
You look like Jim " The Ultimate Warrior " Hellwig
I notice that I get full so much faster.
Guess i just eat calorie dense stuff like dairy.
Hello.
Thank you for video.
I'm doing OMAD, I couldn't find in internet, any information about how much food can I eat in OMAD. I started doing OMAD, because I love to eat a lot, before I used to eat 3 times a day, each meal 1000-1200 calories, that's why decided to start doing OMAD.
Who knows, real information about OMAD, about calories?
Thank you in advance
Intuitively, I want to eat the whole box of fruit pebbles
I seem to of fell I to omad past few days.. I'm finding it very easy to go without.. Even if I get a thought of food later on I'm actually having a discussion with myself.. Do you really need it? R u actually hungry etc.. Most times I'm not lol.. I'm also doing the low aerobic runs an bike rides at the mo rather than my usual so called easy runs where I'm running a decent pace yet feels OK but my hr is high... Some ppl think I'm mad for doing it but as Mark says here u have to do what you think is right at the time and see where it takes you.. So far in my body and myself I'm feeling pretty dam good
exactly right
