Is this a thing?? Does it work? Saw it on another forum, a few people raving about it. I have never seen this anywhere on here unless I missed it?? Thanks!
I am trying to gain muscle whilst only eating for 1 hour a day, but I have heard that eating too much at once can be dangerous for the stomach. I usually eat chicken breasts and nuts and fruits so I...
Im currently on OMAD fasting diet and haven't really felt the urge to drink water as much as I would the previous time I attempted OMAD half a year ago. So to follow that up I'm curious to know...
Hi all, I recently hit my goal weight and started running a 5k about 3 times a week to work through this stomach flab. I'm still doing Keto everyday as it's become a lifestyle for me at this point. I was...
I have done I.F. With Keto and CrossFit but never just I.F. And never just one meal. Previously I was doing 18/6. If I’m honest with myself and strangers on the internet I have weak will power and tend to...
I'm 30ish 6' 2", 300 lbs and plan on starting to fast through my work shifts tomorrow. If I only eat between 4:30pm-10:30pm, when I get back from work and go to sleep, is that what I've seen called an...
Hi all! I'll try and keep this brief. I'm doing intermittent fasting, with a flexible 8 hour eating window (which usually ends up being 4-6 hours, punctuated by lunch and then dinner), and I practically don't ever snack, opting to...
I'm not sure how safe it is for me to do a multiple day fast. I'm wondering if a 24 hour fast or just eating little throughout the day can provide similar benefits.
I have been on a strict OMAD diet since August. In the first 72 hours I battled some mild muscle fatigue, light headedness on day two, and frequent urination on day three. Since then I have felt great! I have more...
I was doing some research for my bio class and I just got to wondering how the body processes things. One example the book gave was someone eating 500 calories extra over a week leading to weight gain but I...
Today is my 4th day of OMAD and I have been eating between 6PM-7PM and it's been going well for the most part. I feel lethargic during my work schedule, especially after lunch time, but I'm hoping this feeling gets...
I really like OMAD because it's consistent & is an easy habit to get into. I'm sure I could just eat like this forever, until I hit my goal weight. HOWEVER, I ran into this: [https://idmprogram.com/wp-content/uploads/QA-32.pdf](https://idmprogram.com/wp-content/uploads/QA-32.pdf) ​ >So OMAD typically works for the patient...
I only eat once a day, mornings I drink my black coffee, tea and water. When I get off work at 4:30pm, I eat. Ive been eating about 1500-2000 calories per day. Is that enough? Also some days I have...

Most people seem to be against OMAD. They say it’s bad for your digestive system, that our bodies can’t absorb that many calories at once resulting in a greater calorie deficit and lower nutrient absorption and some people even say...
