I started OMAD like long time ago. And what I can say its really easy to do for the first week but I had lot of skip weeks where I'm not following the OMAD since I got a lot of things to do like work and school, but since I started this I made a list of food that I can eat to be more healthy unlike before that I just eat the food as long it taste good without thinking if its good or not.
What the current condition of your OMAD diet?

Well retraining your body to eat and digest food at a certain time is a bit hard at first but after several days your body will get accustomed to it and you'll be on your way to losing weight.
I've been doing OMAD for almost a year now. The journey is not easy. Losing weight was never been easy for me. I love to cook and try different dishes. And it's my desire I'm fighting with. Luckily, through my determination I was able to loss some weight now. I'm still continuing my diet. I can't say it's a perfect routine that I have but at least I was able to achive my goal.
I'm nearly two months into OMAD and have had a week of slipping into old habits because I went to a family vacation for a few days and when I got back I found I couldn't just immediately go back to having a single meal and instead kind of weened myself back into it. Thankfully now I am back to my routine and eating just once a day and I'm planning on making my daily single meals even healthier because I did gain back some weight from my vacation, I feel, and I also want my diet to work faster anyway.
I've been into this diet for quite some time. It has been my lifestyle and I think I can maintain this lifestyle. At first, controlling my food intake made me feel deprived and quite miserable. As time passed by, I got used to it. Giving in to temptations once in a while is also a big help to continue this diet. I think it's fine to eat your cravings once in a while.
I agree with you@Rhealaine S once you have been on OMAD for a while it gets easier. I have regular cheat days and the longer I have been on it, the more I realize how easy it is for me to get back to it. When I carve something which I rarely do I just have it on my cheat days, this helps me stick to OMAD knowing that I have something to look forward. I also have weeks which it's hard for me to do OMAD e.g if I'm unwell. I just stay off it and get back on it with no worries.
