    Heartburn :(

    Hi Monica, Yes, I noticed I am more sensitive to heartburn from coffee when I am fasting. Anything that adds up more than 16 ounces throughout the day and I feel it. I take my coffee kinda strong though. I will say I notice more flatulence though than anything :eek:

    Morning hunger

    Hello, I wanted to chime in because the same thing happened to me last week for 2 days straights Wednesday and Thursday. I've been doing Omad since mid February and I normally eat my meals in the evening window of 5-8. I've never felt hungry upon waking or throughout the day prior to last...

    Weekly Goals..Anyone?

    My goal for the upcoming weeks is to break out of 140s using a lower carb approach. I’m 5’2 and 144 lbs. When I started OMAD i was 152 which has been my highest weight in over 6 years. Month after starting omad I was down 142 ish. Last couple weeks, I was retaining water like crazy and went back...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    I was thinking about going over my 50 grams of carbs limit for the day because the weather is all chilly and stormy which is perfectly accompanied with carbs but I just had a mug of lemon/kombucha tea and desire to go over went away. I’m gonna do a taco salad (no shell) and pistachios on the...

    Processed food with omad

    The beans themselves are vegetarian because there’s no pork product i.e pork and beans but I used to add my own turkey or beef hotdogs. Why vegetarian ones then? Because I like em.

    Processed food with omad

    I think Agathist makes a good point. it’s so hard to avoid all processed foods so I pick my battles you know and specifically try to eliminate those with hydrogenated oil. Still crave a few processed food. For instance, I am craving vegetarian baked beans in a can ( with diced turkey or all beef...

    Weekly Goals..Anyone?

    Thanks, Agathist. Funny, you mention sleep. Since I've lowered my carbs this week, I haven't slept as well but I am not sure it's all due to that as I did have a couple stressful work days. Yeah lowering the carb count is tough but now I feel like I'm finding my groove with OMAD. I even ate...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    For my evening meal, I am going to prepare a huge salad (the past couple days I've been combining @rudy Jimenez and @Brenda 's low carb/salad style of eating. Since Monday, the scale has gone down 4 lbs which is awesome on my 5'2 frame. Tonight, I will have a salad that's built on a bed of...

    Weekly Goals..Anyone?

    Yesterday, I managed to keep my carbs under 25g. So excited! Had a huge salad with chicken breast and a few (ok 5) grilled drummette wings on the side. I jumped on the scale this morning and it's going down.

    Hello....

    Hi Paul, I'm not a long time OMADer but I wanted to say hi and welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll get some great insight from those who have done this way of eating much longer than me. I'll say that I have read and watched videos from folks who seem to have sustained it the only thing they...
