    Weekly Update 1 Day Early... I'm posting my update a day early because I may not have time to do it tomorrow. I am finally feeling like I've hit my stride and that everything (well most things) are working for and not against me. I made a couple of small changes from my approach last week and...

    Processed food with omad

    I do still eat some processed foods, but not near as many as I used to. I'm just slowly choosing more whole foods to add into my meal and I make room for the processed foods in moderation so I don't feel like I'm restricting myself because as soon as I feel like I'm restricting myself I end up...

    Weekly Goals..Anyone?

    It's so great you're taking well to eating low carb. I just don't have the willpower to do it. I'm doing well though. I've been better about my sleep this week too and it feels amazing to wake up and not be exhausted all day. So I will stick with getting enough sleep to be an ongoing weekly goal...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    Mariela, I've tried lowering my carbs, and while they're lower than they used to be, they aren't low enough to even be considered low-carb. I just can't do it, I love them too much :) I'll be patient and let my weigh-loss happen at it's own pace while still having my carbs. I am trying to limit...

    Week 1: Adjusting

    Hi SindiGee, are you drinking enough water? Water has been probably the best tool for me when it comes to hunger, and it has helped my hydration for sure. Are you eating enough for your omad? I find that on days where I'm a bit light on the calories I tend to be hungrier the next day. Have you...

    Garden of Life Raw Fiber powder

    I haven't tried that that brand. For additional fiber I buy the Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder. It is magical when it comes to helping move things along and it has never made me feel bloated. If you do try psyllium husk powder do your research, they are definitely not all created...

    My Progress

    Weekly Update... I'm feeling good this week. I dropped the Easter weight gain (which was more than likely just water since I weighed-in the morning after Easter) and 1 more pound this week putting me at the lowest I've been so far. In the beginning I was full of excitement and enthusiasm of...

    Odd spleen question...

    I've had an enlarged spleen before when I had mono so I know what it feels like, which is unlike anything I've ever felt before. It can sometimes cause pain, but I more had the fullness and pressure. Some people never even feel it or have symptoms of it. But if you think you might have an...

    Hoping I get it right this time.

    I have tried just about every type of "diet" that you can think of and omad is the only one that I have been able to stick with and that I have gotten results with. If you go tot he "Guide" section on this site there is a lot of information to make the transition into omad easier. It ultimately...

    Not so Newbie week 7

    I'm in bounce-back from Easter mode right now. I ate so much and so often for 2 days. My weight definitely went up, but it's coming back down. I weigh every day just to see the fluctuations and I'm trying to figure out which foods are causing my weight to go up or stay the same and which are...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    I like making salads and think I will quite often when the hot weather comes. It's nice because salad was always something I tried to keep low-fat, but now having it as a meal it's the greatest thing ever because you can add all of the stuff that makes salad great. I found some recipes to make...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    Today I made spinach and feta chicken burgers on a toasted bun with caramelized onions and on the side I had a salad and bacon wrapped asparagus. It was amazing.

    Weekly Goals..Anyone?

    I make it a daily goal to sit and write each day. I write about food, cravings, how my body is feeling, successes, failures... whatever I feel like I should write that day. It's been nice to look back on and I highly recommend it. It's showing me what I'm doing right, what I need to work on, and...

    So What's on the Menu for the Day?

    My favorite meal so far this week was roasted veggies (asparagus, red onion, broccoli, and sweet potato with grapeseed oil and herbs de provence) with some leftover dark-meat turkey with a salad on the side made from spring mix, cucumber, red pepper (which I peel the skin off of otherwise it...

    Thanks Jackie. I try to keep positive even through what I consider to be failures. I don't expect to never mess up, and I know that sometimes I will mess up on purpose, and I'm ok with either. As long as I'm feeling and seeing results then I think I'm going in the right direction. I did weigh...

    Weekly Update # 5... Or I should call this my week 5 failure update... Ok, so I definitely do not recommend deviating from omad for foolish reasons. I was going to do the juice fast mainly to support my friend, but she quit on the morning of day one after tasting each of the daily juices, and...

    Drinking only water with your fast

    I actually prefer drinking water to other things. I may from time to time have a black coffee in the morning, but then it's just water for the rest of the day.

    Starting today!

    Try not to give in and eat outside of your window. Set a time to eat and then just keep telling yourself that you can't eat until then, and not after that. It is hard, and I've had some of those moments. I gave into a couple and felt awful and I've resisted a couple and felt a great sense of...

    My Progress

    Thank you :) I'm definitely happy with the progress I'm making. Are you just wanting to add juice to your omad? If so then I would probably make a smoothie with it and not a juice, just to keep the fiber in there. The ones I was adding to my omad were just spinach, strawberries, and water. I...

    Weekly Update # 4... I've been doing omad for 4 weeks now and I feel fantastic, aside from the hormones balancing out causing me a bit of misery these past couple of days with my cycle. I'm still shocked that it came back on it's own with no medication. Being someone with pcos, I just kind of...
