Calorie Cycling, Fasting & OMAD as Fat Loss Tools

I’m an eye doctor and I do nearly the same thing she does. OMAD almost every day but not weekends. After years of doing this my body finds it totally natural. And…I’ve never looked better, even at 50. I’d recommend to all but find your body’s best way.

Have been incorporating some degree of fasting for decades. Being 62, I'm now predominately #Carnivore HighP:LowE, doing a combination of 20:4, OMAD (23:1) and 47:1. When social, a giant salad topped with meat is ideal. I wake up before the sun, and retire shortly after the sun goes down.

[@cintiaspataro3205]

Thank you for the awesome material that you guys share. In my experience, going through menopause, OMAD slowed my metabolism and now I'm dealing with hypothyroidism... Getting better, still eating low carb (only healthy carbs) though my basal temperature was really low, since a whole year eating pro-metabolic my body temperatures are closer to optimal so is my metabolism.

[@oscarl.3563]

Pea protein + cacao powder is a go-to protein drink for vegans on OMAD. Naturally you can include other things as well, sweeten with stevia or use unsweetened almond milk instead of water. Try it, it works. 👍

[@mmanjin]

Regarding Deanna's comment about eating earlier, is arguably better overall than later in the day. However, on those occasions when I do eat late, which sometimes happens during family events and holidays, I often sleep better after going to bed on a full tummy than I do during my OMAD days when my feeding period is during late morning/early afternoon. I would have expected the opposite. In that regard, what I have found having spoken with others who also fast on a regular basis is that fasting modalities vary (sometimes a lot) from one individual to another and not one size fits all. Also, as Deanna alluded to and is so true, we each have to experiment and see what works best for us whether it's OMAD, twice a day feeding with small windows in between, alternate day fasting or perhaps just fasting for 3 days at the beginning of every month. I like to mix it up with different fasting methods from time to time so that my body is stressed in a positive manner and doesn't end up adapting to a particular pattern of fasting behavior that may lead to diminishing returns over time.

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

Love this- I agree with you. I, too, sleep better eating later (my ideal sweet spot on OMAD days is 6 pm- 8 pm)- I usually begin with eating the foods that are tougher to digest, and finish off with the easier digesting foods (steamed vegg.. mushrooms, Kraut’s..) . This is why I choose a longer OMAD window- 2, sometimes 3 hours - not eating the whole time. I eat a large plate slowly , mindfully, then wait 30 minutes - 60 minutes- and eat again if I feel I need more. No tracking. Pure intuition.

Fwiw, vegans I know are doing it for ethical, not health, reasons. So, it is more akin to a religion for them. I was a vegetarian for most of my life, but now eat fish direct from Sitka, Alaska - where they are flash frozen until reaching my refrigerator. While eating window has largely been compressed in recent decades, accidentally for most part, it is always at night for lots of reasons. For starters, I am usually hungry only at night. But I know it’d be much better earlier. In any event, good/helpful convo, thanks!! I’d love one for older (post- meno) women. You have more subscribers in this demo than you’d perhaps think ;)

Thank you for the discussion on non-daily compressed feeding patterns. I insert two 36-hr non-feeding windows into my week, which in my mind is super important for older adults. This requires some extra attention to the details of eating (intake tracking). I really only watch the protein intake and try to average 11-12 grams of protein per week per lb body weight. My fat intake (g) per week trends about 25% higher than protein. I am active so on a day-basis, some days show a huge energy intake (6k+ calories), but the weekly average energy intake is roughly 3k calories per day

However have seen my cortisol ruin my sleep. It would be good to know more about fasting and cortisol for women. They say fasted training creates cortisol. And yet I feel better doing it. Be great I'd Deanna could talk more about her training/ eating schedule as a lean athlete. I love autophagy, but can't afford to lose any fat. Fine line I guess. Atm I alternate OMAD/ training days with rest and FEED days. Seems to be ok. Xx

Dogs are a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. Even little dogs get you out & walking & get you into a routine. We walk 2x/ day, in all weather after (their/our) meals. I know I wouldn’t be walking after 6pm in the February rain if it weren’t for my pups. We adapt but keep moving!

OMAD is so simple. I’ve been eating once a day since 2018. I feel sluggish if I eat more than once. Randomly, I’ll take a day off eating because of OMAD - it replicates, I think, how humans were in the past. I also eat seasonal, like I only eat fruit seasonally, but eat meat/fish/dairy all year, as that was available all year. Thanks for all the info and for having your beautiful wife on the podcast!

When I first started IF 4 months ago I lost 2 lbs a week. Even though I eat high nutritious foods and a lot during eating window, 18/6 daily. But after awhile my weight became stable. Totally make sense to move dinner time earlier during cold weather. Bears don't eat during winter. Very important to eat last meal at 5 the latest and finish up before 6.

Here's a question that doesn't get asked much: doesn't OMAD throw off your pooping game? Currently, with two meals a day, I poop like a MACHINE. Same time, within 30 minutes, every single morning. On days that I only eat dinner though, my next day's "evacuation" is significantly delayed to late late morning or even early afternoon. Not trying to be the guy trying to unload at 11 oclock in a public bathroom. So how does one keep their poop regimen consistent, and in the morning where it belongs, when only eating a single night-time meal?

Initially yes- but this can happen with any new change in nutrition - feeding Windows /food choices. The body will regulate itself with consistency - and eating enough is key .

Interesting. I've been doing one meal a day, every single days for many years now. I can eat 4000kcals in one sitting NO PROBLEM. I love to eat. It always makes me laugh when I hear that people are concerned with eating enough haha. When I need to eat less, I just stop eating for a couple of days. Said otherwise, it's all about getting used to it. If you have a small digestive strength so to speak, yeah you need to split the meals. But it's not a general rule. Oh and of course I eat super late at night as I live in Europe. And I sleep like a baby after that. That's actually why I prefer eating late at night; because I feel sleepy after eating. So it's nice for the dinner to happen at night. So yeah whatever works.

This whole vegan conversation is such a multi-layered conversation. Much of the friction comes from lack of understanding and poor communication.
