Just wanted to encourage folks who are just starting this way of eating. I bought the Complete Omad Guide on this website and it is great!
I didn't think it was possible for me to get used to eating 23-1 or 22-2 regularly....but I have. I wasn't even perfect on it...I might be more like 12lbs down., but there were some cheat days.
I work in music, and I am out at bars regularly and traveled to stay for a few gigs. I had to navigate some tricky situations...BUT it works.
I do not count calories or carbs. I do try to keep it to one plate, save a side salad. I do eat desserts when I feel like it, but usually don't have much room for it in my tummy, so not BIG ones. I allow myself a caloric beverage. I will confess to sometimes 2 drinks with dinner if I am out, but not regularly. I'm going to continue to do this! It works for me.
I feel very little hunger that doesn't pass by with a quick check on why I am doing this, and giving my attention to other things in life. Yes, you can be around other people while they eat...try it, and prove it to yourself., trust me when I say it'll get easier each time you do it. You WILL get used to it, I promise. People will say things to you that will make you doubt yourself, but they soon lose their steam. I feel no deprivation like this...and that, to me, it the Key! You can do anything for 24 hours...anything. Stay strong friends...and ENJOY!
