I am finishing my 3rd week. How funny how much I looked at as many diets to loose weight in this last 45 years, (I am 70 ) while trying countless ones... Until for the first time this OMAD sort of found me
I was just reading about something else. I was so curious to know that eating 1 meal a day could be a way of life. Because as far as I can remember I always hated to eat 3 times a day, since most days I start feeling hungry after 1:00 pm.
Furthermore one day I adopted a dog and had no idea how to take care. When I learned that this cute guy needed to eat only once a day, I was angry ! Because his 1 year of life equals 7 years of mine. If you do the maths he eats 21 times less than I have too ! I deeply thought there has to be something very wrong with this human habit of 3 meals and more a day ! -
So, when I found OMAD, I immediately started it the following day making my 1 hour window from 2 to 6 pm. I felt so liberated.
For 2 weeks not a single headache, or difficulty, or craving... And on the 3rd day my light joints pain inflamation was gone !
Eventhough, I was having difficulty eating at least 1200 calories within 1 hour. So I make it 2 hours now, like a 3 or 4 course meal with little breaks and eating slower. Then I do not feel I have over-ate or unconfortable. I am discovering so much of good informations.
The first day the scale was down 5 lbs. I have now lost 9 pounds. But this last week, for 2 days in a row I did not eat enough and headaches, and weekness showed up. I have to adjust some supplements, drink more of this great broth bones+veges+algues.... that I make and take twice a day. I also drink 1 cup water with 2 tsp of AVC + 2 tbs of lemon juice - +++water, etc. I am never hungry and I just love this new way of life which gives me more time, less cooking, less shopping and a great cleansing for the body.
I also have in my meal a smoothie with green veges - frozen fruits - 1 egg - 1 tbs olive oil - chia - linseed - pumkin seed - sunflower seed - hemp
that's about 500 cal. I finish my meal with this and drink it slowly - I add frozen fresh mint & rosemary for taste and liver.
I never thought that dieting would feel so right, so good, and so much fun ! Somehow I fell liberated and happier !
