Vegan Omad

Jessica, I was curious if you are still doing vegan omad? Wondering how you are doing?

Liz, I actually have been eating some vegan recipes with my one meal a day, but I haven't gone full vegan yet. I think when I do decide to go full vegan, it's not going to be a problem. I'm still at the stage of figuring out which kinds of vegan recipes I like.
 
Vegetables don't always taste better for most of us but we are not babies to refuse to eat them knowing how much they help our body. Most of the people manage to loose weight when they get to eat those vegetables on their meals and reduce meat and all those spicy foods ,you can lose weight without workouts by just adjusting your meals and use more vegetables.
 
I do eat a lot of vegetables but I also eat the same portion of meat. I don't think being a vegetarian is in my game plan. I'm a meat eater and im going to stay that way.
 
i used to like breaking my fast with a big smoothie, then have my omad food 30 mins after. the smoothie would kickstart my metabolism
 
Vegan OMAD is good when you're simply doing OMAD and nothing else. What I mean is that if you intend to train and build up muscles the vegetables wouldn't be sufficient. At least that's how it is for me.

This is actually incorrect, @Alania . If you look online, there are some well-known body builders who are total vegans. Again, it all depends on the food that you are consuming, and how healthy and nutritious it is.
Mostly, a vegan is accepted as someone who eats/uses no animal products, and not necessarily someone who only eats vegetables.
Thus, a person could have coffee and donuts for breakfast, French fries for lunch and a peanut butter and jam sandwich for dinner with a large Coca-Cola, and still be considered a vegan; but it certainly would NOT keep them healthy.
Vegans who eat fresh, nutritious foods, lots of vegetables, legumes, and nuts, can be as healthy as someone who does eat meat.
 
I'm eating a predominately meat free diet using some meat alternatives. I can't seem to digest carbs or gluten very well. This make take awhile to figure out.
 
I have read some articles that said part of the problem with wheat gluten, and even some of the vegetables we have today , is because of the genetic modification that has been done to plants.
I am not talking about selective breeding for better quality, but actual genetic modification beyond that which can be done naturally.
I can remember when I was a kid (back in the early 1950’s, and wheat took all summer to grow, and it was at least waist high by the time there was ripe wheat on top. The wheat they grow now only gets about 2 feet tall , and has much heavier wheat heads, and is ripe faster, too.
Whether this actually makes a difference in our ability to digest them properly, I do not know; but there are a lot of people who are saying that it matters.

If you are having trouble digesting carbs, it does not leave you very much to eat on a plant-based diet, that is for sure. I tried plant-based, and liked eating that way, but was not losing any weight even with OMAD and restricted calories, so am now limiting carbs and having meat, chicken, fish and dairy in my diet, and seem to be doing better.

I'm not surprised to hear how much wheat/agricultural has changed in a very short space of time. I just found a local organic coop I'm going to join. I have been frustrated about what to eat for a long time and haven't been able to loose weight either.
