Feeling Guilty About Food.

[Happyflowerlady]

This is something that most of us who have had a long-term battle with our weight have had to deal with over the years, and definitely something that has plagued me for a long time.
When I was on a diet, it usually restricted what foods I could eat, as well as the amount of food; so I was usually hungry, and at the very least, unsatisfied with what I ate , on just about every diet plan that I tried.
The end result was that I would “revolt”, go off of the diet all together, and then binge eat until I felt like I had satisfied that deep craving for more food. Of course, this contributed to my yo-yo weight loss and gain, and then I felt even more guilt when ever I had a meal that I enjoyed.

Now, it has become such an ingrained part of my mind, that it is hard to re-program myself, and accept that I can eat like a normal person, and enjoy a dessert occasionally without feeling guilty that I am doing that.
I knew that I had to change this because I was at the point where nothing was right.
I was miserable when I ate food I didn’t like, and when I was still hungry after eating; but I was also miserable when I did eat food that I liked and satisfied my hunger. So, either way, I was not happy about what I ate.
This is where the OMAD program is such a wonderful thing, because as long as I am sticking to the program, and only having my one meal, and fasting the rest of the time, it is now acceptable for me to sometimes choose meals that simply satisfy cravings.
Most of the time, I eat proper meals of healthy foods, and since I have less hunger, I am satisfied with less food now, regardless of what I am eating, and I am not having the problem of binge-eating anymore, which is a wonderful thing.

Quality of life is every bit as important as quantity of life. OMAD would appear to let us have both worlds.

This is the good thing I'm enjoying about OMAD,having what I crave for without feeling guilty and not being deprived of even satisfying our selves even if it should be once a week.I love to eat healthy meals but as a human sometimes cravings kick in and I just have to give me and without guilt at least during my eating window and it fine by me and my preferred weight loss diet.

I, also has this guilt feeling after I eat too much and found out that I did not lose a pound the next morning. I should stick to my first diet plan. Then try another one plan after hitting my target weight.

OMAD does not make you feel guilty about food. Also you do not keep on thinking of what you will eat. As long as you keep tobyour

OMAD does not make you guilty about food. Maybe if you want to eat before your window. Your body refuses. Some time with OMAD and it becomes a lifestyle.

I have to admit that this is actually an issue for me as well. The fact is that, for me, it actually stems from a deep-seated need for some sort of vice/escape. Without going into too much detail, I don’t exactly have the prettiest history, and it’s resulted in a constant desire to seek some sort of comfort. It would often take the form of alcohol/drug use, but when I decided to stop those, it took the form of food.

When I’d get cravings to drink, I’d instead binge on unhealthy food, but it ultimately resulted in equal feelings of guilt and regret afterwards. It’s the feeling of disappointment in yourself that you simply can’t manage your emotions without some sort of vice.

Thankfully I’ve gotten better these days thanks to things like meditation, exercise, and just finding a general sense of purpose in life, but I still understand those feelings of guilt all too well.

What is the maximum caloric intake of OMAD? I notice on my own diet plan, if I take more than 1000 calories in a day, the next morning my weight is the same on the last day. That is why I count my caloric intake to continue reducing a pound.

OMAD is not a diet in the strictest sense. It is a lifestyle. The primary benefits to OMAD is the time off given to your digestive system, which has health benefits, the reduction in the quantity of insulin spikes you experiences during a day, which has more benefits, a slight increase in your body's propensity to use it's own fat stores for fuel when you aren't eating, and a small amount of additional autophagy, increasing your body's ability to rid itself of 'bad' cells. Plus there is a pretty significant convenience factor.

Most people who do OMAD find that the one meal they have, even if they eat to satiation, is still small enough that they lose weight. If you gain weight if you eat more than 1000 calories, and if you are also capable of eating more than that in your one hour time window, then I would recommend you stick with eating just 1000 calories even on OMAD, for now. I would further recommend that you also look into changing your meals to fully ketogenic, as if you gain weight eating 1200 calories, you are probably in a carb fueled state of starvation, where your body is desperately trying to hang on to every shred of fuel it can and store it as fat. Keto will break that.

It is only when you are taking OMAD with keto that calories are counted. Otherwise with OMAD it is a matter of one hour window of eating and a 23 hour fast. Liquids like water, bone broth and coffee are taken too. Vitamin supplements and fruits are encouraged. Exercises too are good

There’s no need to sense guilty for food when you understand you’re setting the effort in, so that you eat healthy. There are such a lot of people out there who take their health without any consideration, however you’re not one among them. You must be glad about that and maintain it in mind that your health is essential to you and also you’re taking care of it.
