I am amazed by this discussion because from what I know, OMAD is difficult for a diabetic. Pardon me for not knowing type 2 diabetes specifically but my understanding is in dealing with the fluctuation of the blood sugar level. I understand that your meal is at 8pm to avoid hypoglycemia while you are asleep. With a stomach full of food when you sleep then you are safe and your FBS may even be normal. But your control of hunger is admirable since you can last the whole day without having breakfast.
I want to ask what is LCHF? Im only doing OMAD these past months I heard lot of diet ways but this is my first time I heard this one. an wana know what is this.
Many diabetetics have been overcoming their illness simply by changing their eating habits, when they have type 2 diabetes, which is caused by over insulin production resulting in insulin resistance. In type 1 diabetes, the person does not manufacture enough insulin, so they need to take insulin to control blood sugar.
With type 2 diabetics, the base problem is eating too many high carb foods, causing insulin spikes, and then insulin resistance. giving this person even more insulin does not solve the problem, it only makes them even hungrier, and they crave more sugary foods, which in turn causes more insulin spikes.
The treatment that seems to be doing the most good is a low carb-high fat (LCHF) diet that greatly restricts carbs, and keeps the need for insulin at a much lower level.
Once the person has started this kind of a diet and is started to become fat-adapted for fuel, then they can start intermittent fasting, and the OMAD diet, and usually reverse their diabetes and their doctor can take them off of their medications once they are not needed anymore.
Here is an interesting article explaining about LCHF and diabetes, Type 2.
