Wine is claimed to have a positive effect on longevity and I think a glass of wine can help like an appetizer. That is the difference of alcoholic drinks with wine because wine is mainly used as a match for eating. And for the nutritional benefits I guess it is also a cleansing agent for the...

Some decades ago, 2 scientists from Australia had discovered the cause of ulcer as the bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori. I know that because my husband was administered the medicine which was a combination of 2 antibiotics. It was also in our culture that you can get ulcer from skipping meals...

Your statement about weight swing is confusing because I assume that you are on OMAD. Do you really think that the water retention is the cause of your weight fluctuation? If it is then I guess you have to get a urinalysis. I have kidney stones and sometimes I notice the weight differences every...

I have failed in all the diets that I indulged in so it was a long time when I last had a diet. But this OMAD got me curious because at first I thought it was a joke. But when I delved on the discussions in this forum, I understood the principle. For me, cold turkey will not work because of my...

Our neighbor has loose chicken that they take care for food purposes. Sometimes they give us a dressed chicken for a sample. They were so proud to claim that theirs are organic chicken which has no chemicals. Come to think of it that chicken meat nowadays have allergens such that even one of our...

I have a niece who is a juvenile diabetic. She is 29 years old and quite overweight so I am thinking of inviting her to go OMAD. But her parents disagreed, my sister is a nurse and her husband is a doctor. There is the danger of going hypoglycemia which is the extreme lowering of blood sugar and...

I am sticking to my lunch hour which is 12 noon. Before going OMAD I tried to learn in satisfying myself with lunch only that I was able to skip dinner. With no dinner to speak of, my body has gotten used to eating lunch as the last meal and I had no problem with hunger during bedtime hours...

I have an advantage on this because I am used to drinking lots of water as prescribed by the doctor. I had kidney stones that were twice removed and now I have the 3rd occurrence which is tamed by an herbal concoction and more water. I guess it is working because it’s been more than 10 years...

If you haven’t heard of the civet coffee yet, they claim that it is the best coffee in terms of taste but I don’t know if it is also the best for health. Anyway, folks living in the mountainous provinces claim that rice coffee is the healthiest coffee. It is made from roasted rice that is made...

I have read in one discussion in this same forum that fasting is beneficial to the longevity. That means if we go OMAD for a longer time we have good chances of a longer life. Maybe that is one good reason for going OMAD aside from the weight loss which is the common reason for dieting. And...

I guess the stomach cramps, headache and other symptoms of withdrawal are common when you start OMAD based on the other discussions in this forum. But I think you should have a little preparation when starting OMAD that you cannot just indulge in it suddenly. For me, I am skipping dinner as a...

Don’t mistake me for an authority here but I want to share my experience with you. I have been skipping dinner for many nights now and I can say that I am comfortable. When I go on a cheat day I can always come back to OMAD since dinner is not on my agenda anymore so it is just the breakfast...

I agree because I have read several comments in other discussions that in OMAD you can eat whatever you want and even the amount of food doesn’t matter because that will definitely be burned by the fasting that you will undergo. Perhaps we don’t even need to count calories anymore with OMAD...

This is a good question because it directly affects the fasting period. However, my plan is to do OMAD with a 4-hour window to make it a bit comfortable for me. That means I can eat leisurely on the last hour of the window period. If my window is 8 am to 1 pm then I can start eating at 12 noon...

My plan for OMAD is to continue doing it until I reach my objective for the amount of weight that I wanted to lose. Right now I don’t have the number although I used to weigh a skinny 120 pounds but maybe 140 pounds will be fine. Anyway, perhaps I will quit OMAD when I get to that desired weight...

Let me add this pork dish that I saw in a tv program of NHK, the Japanese network. It was a cooking contest in a province in Japan which was won by a young woman with a very simple recipe. The pork was sliced thinly and rolled on a sheet of seaweed. It was then grilled on pan with nothing not...

My usual drink after a physical activity whether a workout or a heavy chore like cleaning the yard, it is soda. But now that I am in this forum, I have shifted to lemon water without sugar because I believe the posts in this site since they are mostly based on their own experience. However, I...

If you have tried grilled pork with no marinade except for salt and pepper, you will be surprised that it tastes good. Cooking pork over the coal will remove the fats and other unsavory elements that are unhealthy that’s why barbecue is supposed to be good for us although there are detractors...

Craving for food is also my fear of OMAD because I am also an emotional eater that maybe I grew fat because of stress and not really due to hunger. Anyway, I am taking it slowly now and getting a good control of my hunger. Having skipped dinner for a week now is a clear pathway to OMAD when I...

One thing that encouraged me to go OMAD is the lack of restriction on the food that we can eat. There is no limit to the amount of food and you can eat anything that you want although from the discussion of Keto diet, I have learned that meat is one important element in OMAD because that is what...
