I've been on OMAD again, for the last 10 days or so and I feel great. I ended a 30 hour fast yesterday at dinner, but have only lost about 7 pounds so far. Ideally, I like to only eat lunch, but right now I'm only having dinner, which I think, is causing the weight to come off slower. In August 2021 I was 174lbs. my lowest in 25 years and am back up to 196lbs right now, it's a struggle, but I WILL be 174lbs. again, in a few months.
@Nick1994 how's your progress?
Wow, interesting, my weight range is right there.
Many years ago I started on a super healthy diet from just "healthy" trying to beat the horrible family history of diabetes and heart disease.
I have pretty much been successful. I eat super healthy but in the last year or so started gaining weight. Believe it or not it's not from junk food but too many fruits and nuts. I have recently made that commitment to be back on that road to the magic number of 170 to 175.
For me, it's as simple as what I call "grazing" after dinner. I have to stop it and my weight comes down. If everyone didnt "graze" their weight would come down. I dont believe in diets, diets do not work because people go off diets.
When you get to only eat two meals a day and NO grazing, you most likely get to weigh your proper body weight (BMI) I felt so cool/great being at 173 ish... which took me back decades to when I was a teenager. Im 5'11" one might consider slightly stocky.
I did lose some muscle some years back when I got down to the magic number, this time I now go to Orange Theory two times a week to build and maintain muscle mass and for protein, when I get home from there I have one Orgain Clean Protein Milk Protein Shake, not that this is important in anyway but it tastes so good that I consider it a treat when and ONLY the days when I get home from the gym. I am doing this, this time around since these workouts are intense I am hoping to build muscle while my weight drops. It's also the only "meal" I will have until dinner.
I have NO idea if that will work but they taste really good
I buy them by the case when on sale in Costco. ( I honestly dont know if this is a good idea or not but think it will work for me, so far)
