Completed my first week on the OMAD diet and into week two. This diet fits in well with my lifestyle; breakfast has always been difficult because I have to get up so early, but I've always eaten because I was always told it is the most important meal of the day. So I no longer eat breakfast. Lunch was usually something fast and convenient like a pie or pasty, so I now skip on that. I just eat my dinner between 4pm and 7pm depending on what shift my wife is on.
Hunger has been mostly under control, but on Sunday afternoon I started to feel light headed and started to sweat and feel feint, so I had a bowl of cereal. Then at dinner time I totally pigged out and ended up bloated and uncomfortable. I didn't sleep much that night and got up still feeling bloated.
Today is Wednesday of week two, hunger seems too be well under control now. I drink black coffee in the mornings and water in the afternoon and evenings. I weighed myself and realised that it makes a difference of up to 9 kilos depending where I put the scales on the floor. The scales were a wedding present 35 years ago and are probably next to useless now, but I'm gutted that my starting weight may be way out.
But apart from the weight, my belly feels much smaller already. The shirts that used to strain on the buttons are now just a little too tight, and the jacket that the button popped of now fits , albeit rather snugly. If someone had told me that I could loose so much this easily I would have laughed at the thought, but now I'm looking forward to a slim and fit me!
