What I have understood about autophagy is that you don't reach peak autophagy until some point in the second day of a fast. However the point is not to reach that point and then stop. Autophagy isn't a goal post that once reached, is done. The idea is to get 'into' autophagy and then stay there...

This does not touch directly on the subject of OMAD or Keto. One can easily be OMAD or Keto without trying to reduce calories. Indeed many are on OMAD and/or Keto precisely so as to avoid restricting calories. However, some of us have elected to also restrict calories while being OMAD and/or...

Your body will ultimately settle on the weight it can maintain based on the total nutrition you are providing it with. This can be abstracted to a large degree as 'calories', with the caveat that the calories should be at least somewhat reasonably balanced nutritionally. If your daily meal is on...

D'oh! Sorry Sunny. I've been away for a week. I feel like I have failed in my cheerleader duties. I am very glad to see you still posting, even if things have been rough. I am very tempted to launch into yet another plug for going keto with your OMAD. But I've done that a couple of times...

You keep posting and we'll keep cheering you on. You can do it! Believe it!

I'm sorry, it just dawned on me that I have been making an erroneous assumption. You said 'low carb' and I assumed that meant Ketogenic. You could certainly do low carb vegetarian 'without' going Keto, whereupon you could ignore or minimize cheese and eggs, and eat as many nuts as you need to...

Nuts are good, especially walnuts and pecans. However they do contain some carbs, and if you tried to get your whole protein and/or fat content from nuts, you would significantly blow your carb budget (which should be under 20 grams). A small amount of nuts is good, but you will need other...

All it takes to meet your goal is to not quit. I would restate though, if for no other reason to get your subconscious to continue to consider it, OMAD is a heck of a lot easier if you are also eating Keto. Not only that, but going Keto makes it all the more easy to drop weight. I dropped...

You hang in there. We are all going to be extremely disappointed in you if you don't make your goals. ;)

Certainly there is no problem with being an OMAD vegetarian. The problem is that the OP said they wanted to be 'low carb' vegetarian. That is a problem, as low carb requires high fat to balance it out. Getting high fat from a strictly vegetarian diet is hard, especially given that most...

Lard is not vegetarian, it is rendered pig fat. And if you are going to consume dairy, I don't see the issue with eating eggs. Eggs with some cheese will make a 'vegetarian' keto a heck of a lot more practical. Shoot, half my diet these days seems to be cheese omelettes. (I'm doing keto and...

I did OMAD while eating carbs for two months, without losing weight and without improving my bursitis, my knee pain, my nerve damage, my acid reflux, my sleep, little to nothing improved for me. Then I added going keto to that. In one week I dropped twelve pounds! (That was water retention.)...

I am right now on hour 53 of what will be at least a three day fast. Thanks to being keto and doing OMAD for a good while now, I am experiencing absolutely zero hunger. All is well. However, I am a neophyte to extended fasts and am wondering as to what is generally accepted norms. I have been...

Bah! Humbug! ;)

One of the benefits to OMAD is that because you have fewer meals to prepare and eat, you have more time to study! ;)

A word of advice. If you are going to 'cheat' on your OMAD, try really hard to make whatever it is that you are cheating with, 100% Keto. That means nothing that would spark an insulin spike, so nothing with any sugar or carbs. One of the prime benefits of OMAD is the fact that it reduces...

You don't need luck. You can do it without luck. But good luck anyway. ;-)

Aye, and therein lays the crux.

One day at a time Shelley, one day at a time. A failure does not mean you have failed. To quote a bit of a cliche, it does not matter if you fall, what matters is that you get up.
