Has anyone been experiencing tummy cramps when starting omad? Any ideas on how to overcome this? I was doing good for awhile, but have started to have some stomach issues.
I had some stomach problems when I started OMAD. For about 10 days, I had stomach pains, queasiness, cramps. I had been drinking a lot of coffee, which I had been told was good for OMAD. But after my problems, I did some checking and found out that coffee may not be so good afterall. They say when you first go OMAD, your body continues to create stomach acid at the times when you used to eat and the acid together with the coffee in the empty stomach can cause problems. Anyway, I shifted from coffee to green tea, and the stomach problems disappeared right away and have not come back. I am now at 4 weeks of OMAD. At some point I will probably try coffee again, but I am in no hurry to do so, because I love the green tea.Has anyone been experiencing tummy cramps when starting omad?

Welcome to the OMAD diet forum, @AAAmbrose ! I think that you have a valid point that too much coffee would probably not be good for some people, especially if you are drinking it black.
I didn’t have any problems with stomach pains, but I only have one cup of coffee each day, and I add a dab of heavy cream, which would help stop any cramps, too.
I was drinking 3-4 cups of black coffee a day. I have always loved black coffee, but started drinking even more of it when I went OMAD.Welcome to the OMAD diet forum, @AAAmbrose !
