Starting Weight: 226.4 lbs
1 Month's Results: 217.0 lbs
Total Lost: 9.4 lbs
Also, I lost 2 inches on my waist.
Things I learned about OMAD this month.
1. Having a cup of broth, (or water with a pinch of salt in it) each morning really helps with hunger and cravings. That's because it restores electrolytes: all the extra water I was drinking was flushing out electrolytes- salts that are now replenished by the broth! Really took the edge off of fasting.
2. For 2 weeks this month I didn't lose anything on the scale while fasting. I just waited it out. Eventually the scale showed a drop. Eating sweets during my OMAD helped me hang onto water weight. Basically this first month I gave myself leeway to learn this way of eating and let myself eat sweets during my OMAD. I plan to be even more healthy in my meals next month.
3. Omad definitely got easier as the weeks went by. That first week was very difficult, then second week had good and hard days. By the 3rd week, the tough days were less. Discovered broth the 3rd or 4th week and that really helped! Guess some of my hunger was caused by low electrolytes! my body was craving food for the salt? Now i just start my mornings with a tall glass of cool water and a mug with a cup of hot broth.
4. I learned the body needs potassium (from white potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, tomato sauce, watermelon, spinach etc.). A lot of dieters cut out the carbs like potatoes and bananas etc, Potassium lowers blood pressure. and is necessary for the muscles, especially the heart muscle. Many dieters cut out potassium rich foods and are hurting their selves. I think the trick is to eat a variety of nutrient rich foods during OMAD.
