Works for me!

After reading The Obesity Code as well as one other book by Dr. Fung, there was one thing I could not reconcile - his conclusion that restricting calories leads to the body adjusting and therefore is not a good thing, and OMAD, specifically the omission of how many calories to take in. On other words, it stands to reason that we should take in 2-3 meals worth of calories in that single meal, yes? But I made that assumption and that's what I do. Like many, I have struggled with dieting my whole life, struggled in that they don't work and they are difficult to do. OMAD is not difficult at all. In fact, its actually easier than my non-dieting regular routine because I don't have to think about avoiding or limiting certain foods and not eating lunch at work feels like I've been freed from something. I usually throw a couple of days a week in there of full fasting, so I probably eat five meals a week. I'm a foodie so if I go on vacation or if there is some special reason to I will eat two meals a day. I no longer avoid carbs like bread, pasta and rice. I now eat one meal a day, at night, and its a massive meal that almost always includes dessert (new for me). Its a massive meal intentionally, because I want to keep my calorie count up. I also eat whatever I want with no restrictions. I have been doing this for six months. In the beginning I experimented with longer fasts but after I dropped about 25 lbs. I'm just looking to maintain. I no longer struggle with a little belly fat and at 53yo I now have defined abs for the first time since high school.
