OMAD Diet Is Eating One Meal a Day a Healthy and Safe Way to Lose Weight

[@lisamckenna613]

I have lost weight I haven’t been able to lose in years. I did OMAD for 3 months and now move between 16-18 hrs fasting per day. It just felt right to make that change.

[@karagermano3079]

Lisa- did you fast daily or adjust based on your cycle for the 3 months?

[@lisamckenna613]

@@karagermano3079 @kara kara, I don’t have a cycle anymore, and did OMAD for 3 months, everyday. It broke through the massive insulin resistance I had no idea I had and which kept the weight on me. I was so resistant, I thought I had some kind of genetic setpoint that I was beholden to. But Dr Pelz and others taught me it was hormonal - my insulin levels were constantly high. Now they are relatively and consistently low due to fasting and keto/carnivore, and the weight is peeling off.

[@biggirlhaved]

​@@SD-hs4bpabsolutely can ask anything...well almost 😂 I lost two hundred pounds over the course of two years ending in 2017. Slowly I had crept back up to 296 by 2022. I new that I needed to regain control before I was back at 400 pounds. In February 2023 I was also diagnosed with diabetes. That was my moment of rededication. Since those days in March of 2022 I have returned to my roots of fasting, low glycemic index foods and low carb choices. I'm a remake.

I workout 6 days a week as well. Great video and information!

I was on keto for 2+ years before this and didn’t lose as much weight and I was also kind of miserable not having carbs because I was exercising so much and I needed those carbs but didn’t realize it.

[@patriotiac572]

I tried fasting in April with an app but every time I clicked "START" I immediately got the urge to eat something, almost like in rebellion of the app. That happened in April and May. Then, in late May, I found your channel and started listening. I reinstalled the fasting app and started over. On Day One I did 16-8 (successfully) but then on Days 2 thru 6 I did 20-4 (successfully). On Day 7, because I had been listening to your channel and the 20 hour long fasts went well, I did a 36 hour long fast. Drank only water, coffee, and tea and then twice I did water with electrolytes. So that was my first week of fasting, and the bonus was a 7 lb weight loss in that first week. I plan to do the same drill this week and beyond and I'll keep listening to and appreciating your wonderful advice. Thank you so much.

Right now I'm doing ADF with OMAD. I eat my meal on Monday, then don't eat again until Wednesday. I can't use those apps either because I found myself checking and checking and getting hungry the more I checked.

I can always refine as I go along

Thank you for the abundant information you are sharing! Very, very helpful! I am a 50 year old OMAD. I did this for more than three years. I did it because I find that eating a second meal will increase bloating to painful levels. I hoped that with time my gut will heal and I can go back to eating 2 meals a day. Not really. When I tested and I eat a second meal it was always the same: the bloating is so disturbing, it's not worth eating at all. I find this lifestyle easy now (things are quiet inside) but as dr. Pelz said it does not work long term. I am slowly gaining weight (even if I did not do OMAD to lose weight, I was at least hoping that my weight will be stable.

Mindy introduced me to the idea of switching it up. I'm down 100# from last year. OMAD & prolonged fasting up to 96 hrs & several 48 hrs. I hit a baseline I took a break for a month. PSMF carnivore pushing 100g a day in protein put on 10# of lean mass & filled up some weak muscles. I started Creatine, Taurine + L-Carnitine before my work. I'm back to an ADF to OMAD to cut body fat & switch back to more plant based targeting below 15% BMI @ 53 from 45% last year. I found breaking plateaus demanded longer fasts. Each lower baseline has been a 72 hr fast away. I found 96 hrs didn't yield as much as just doing ADF for a longer time focusing on protein.

I really liked OMAD but wish I had not pushed it so far. To have what felt like a great healthy lifestyle turn into a health concern was alarming for me. I believe I had to reassess my relationship with food and nutrition - another rabbit hole I didn't want to have to go down.

[@coyclarkchannel]

I eat 333 to 345 meals a year and have been as consistent as can be for over 5 years. I never had so much energy, cognition, clarity. 2200 calories a day everyday and at ideal weight. So I’m definitely not stuck 5 years later.

[@cosudu3002]

What time of day do you typically eat?

[@8cyber.muse8]

Awesome video! Highlighting the body's constant tendency towards homeostasis and the adaptability of metabolism. Those are in my view the reasons that fasting cannot have the same effect if done 24/7.

[@jorgegravedeperalta4897]

I'm losing my hair. I was able to realize it a few days ago and coincidentally today I discover this video. Of course, I have just suspended the daily OMAD and will try the 5-1-1, where it will be 5 2MAD. Thank you so much Dr. Mindy Pelz, I will be checking your channel carefully.

[@priscillabrowne2176]

Thanks for this Dr. Mindy. I like to have more variation, but that is also probably because I have yet to be able to get much past a 20 or 21 hour fast. I keep trying, but also do not want to push myself too hard. I had to take a break from fasting a while ago and just started back up.

[@alinap.7298]

Every time I fast, I experience a headache or lightheadedness or hunger (etc) right around 20 hours. I put electrolyte powder in my water, drink it, and it goes away within 20-30 minutes. Then everything is easy after that. I seriously feel I can fast forever. I hope you try it. Just get to the other side to see how easy it is after that 👍 For example, I would eat dinner at 7pm on Monday. Close to dinner time on Tuesday, I was suffering. I would push through with zero calorie electrolytes (LMNT or similar), and realize I only needed to go to sleep and wake up for it to count as a full 36 hours! So I went to sleep and accomplished my first 36. It was great. Basically, we get credit for sleeping time 😊

Yes, OMAD worked for me. I lost 2.5 stone in 6 months. Since then ( for the last 18 months) I've been maintaining at my healthy weight. I love OMAD. I guess I was lucky that any "stuck" phase coincided exactly with reaching my healthy weight. I take vitamin supplements and do regular exercise.

Originally I started with a 16:8 schedule and eventually landed at OMAD. I lost almost 30lbs quicker than I’d expected. But then, I got stuck and never saw additional progress. The fear of switching something that was working for me so well was and still is terrifying. Eager to start switching things up and hopefully breaking through to the fat burning stage again.

[@DrMindyPelz]

[@JohnSmith-ko3zq]

I do a 20/4 everyday I've done this for years. Within the 4hr window I have a greens drink, 2 protein shakes with oatmeal, and 1 full healthy meal. I suppose you can count the shakes as a meal. I am healthy as healthy can be, no hair loss, no health issues. I dont do this for weight loss as I am at a perfect weight. I do it to stay healthy. I think it's important for those doing any type of fasting to ensure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals everyday. Stay away from sugar, and keep in mind that all carbs turn to glucose, and fruit is loaded with sugar. Education is key here...learn how to get your dailey nutrition (vitamins & Minerals) without loading yourself up with sugar. Get enough fibre within your diet. Eat well stay away from processed foods.

[@radicalcartoons2766]

100% 👍I avoid fruit except for tomatoes and a handful of blueberries in salad about twice a week. But the biggest trigger for me as re sugar is bread. I call bread "the last addiction" because it's the one everyone has, and the one nobody talks about. I can eat 1 item with pastry, or 1 piece of cake, and it doesn't trigger me, but 1 slice of bread, and that's it, I can eat bread for the rest of the day. And I don't even LIKE bread, its purely the addiction.

[@MandatoryMyocarditis8]

Greens drink and oatmeal are nasty.

[@zimbabs]

I know a 70yr female who's about 100lbs overweight. She told me she's been doing OMAD over 2yrs now & is lucky if she's lost at most. 20lbs. She suffers hunger everyday & says only benefit is she stopped weight gain to avoid diabetes by driving down her insulin level.

[@tonykwesiga6568]

One meal a day is just super easy. Particularly if you choose the right time of the day to eat. Personally my favorite is in the evening. But I guess it's a personal thing. I managed my weight and reached a comfortable level. It stalled at some point but I think I just needed more patience and some variation. OMAD does it for me. And especially when you add Keto to it. Makes it even easier

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

It's not for everyone depending on factors such has diabetes or other health reasons. But if you're perfectly healthy, no problem. I've been doing it for 6 years now. Your body will take about 2 months to figure out your energy distribution throughout the day. I'll wake up and do weight lifting for an hour. Go to work. During lunch I'll go to the emergency staircase and climb stairs or shadowbox for 30 mins. I'll only eat dinner which is around 8pm. With this routine, I can eat whatever I want for dinner and it's usually a really large meal for example 1 large plate of pasta, 6 chicken wings, salad, 1 slice of cake, 2 scoops of ice cream.

[@ReviewswithRed]

I’ve been doing OMAD for 2 months now I make sure to get enough protein. I don’t feel well if I eat more than one meal. I’ve lost 17 lbs, I do love longer fasts as well.

[@DrMindyPelz]

🙌👏👏👏

[@awakengrande531]

I agree. After years of being OMAD, and after I turned 42-43 years it stopped working for me and started to gain weigh. So now I’m switching things around by using Dr. Mindys techniques around my cycle and it seems to be working

[@DrMindyPelz]

I'm so glad that you've found something that is🙌 working for you!!

[@briguy4238]

In my own experience, I can do OMAD for two or three days in a row, but after that I usually get so hungry that I revert to 2MAD. I'm trying to fix my chronic high blood pressure so that is my primary fasting motivation. I also like the ketone buzz that I feel after I push through the initial hunger.

[@truthprevails-mm]

I am 26 years old. In 2023 I started OMAD and did it for 18 months and lost much weight. I included protein and fibre in my diet. Kept hydration at check. Made sure I had all micronutrients through the week. But I ended up having many other things alongwith it. 1. Drastic Hairfall leading to alopecia 2. Acute deficiency in Vit D, Vit B and Iron 3. Lack of energy 4. Lost muscle mass 5. Skin became loose leading to looking worse 6. Face started sagging 7. I became Gluten Intolerant 8. Now I have PCOD and Thyroid OMAD was the worst decision of my life. Now I am under proper surveillance of doctors and taking medications. I had to cancel my marriage for starting treatment. I hope to revive soon.

[@DrMindyPelz]

We're so sorry to hear this. If you've been watching Dr. Mindy's KZbin videos and read her book 'Fast Like A Girl', she highly recommends 'Variations' in everything including fasting, the way we eat food, the way we break our fasting window, muscle building, and even taking supplements. I hope it goes well in your recovery. Fasting is a great tool, but 'Variations' are important. 🙏 💙 Dr Mindy's Team

[@Monk3yto3s]

OMAD. Easy to lose weight once you work your way up to OMAD. It is super easy when you only have to eat once a day. It is very addictive at least for me, to stay at one meal a day. The down sides over long term you lose muscle and you get very tired and run down. I am a woman and this is the results that I had with OMAD over about doing this for 1 year. No matter what I ate or how much on OMAD. There is no way for me to sustain OMAD. I continued to stay with OMAD for other health issues I had that seemed to calm down without eating multiple times a day. Thanks Mindy, keep up the great work.

[@Copolia]

Thank you Dr Mindy, what has been key for me is that since finding your channel and your resources (two weeks ago) is that I understand what I am doing, why I am doing it and when I should be doing it. This has made the fasting process a lot easier for me and has meant that I have been able to tweak the process according to my goals; weight loss, healing, working with my cycle, spiritual etc. I have started to lose weight in this time, and I have also started to see the results of healing some of the issues I have been struggling with for many years (brain fog, digestive issues etc) and more recently my chaotic perimenopause symptoms, though I am still in the early stages of this process. I am 51 years old. I am very grateful to you and your team. Hugs from UK.

I am 56, and 10 years ago got a middle age spread around my waist. I developed a routine where I lift weights once a week, eat like crazy for the next couple days of recovery to pack on the muscle, then do OMAD for the rest of the week to burn of the belly fat. Over a year, I replaced 20+ pounds of fat with muscle, and am keeping my waist between 28 to 30 inches.

When I retired from the military in the spring of 2009 at the age of 47, I weighed 190 from the last 8 years of my career being bad eating habits, no sleep, and high stress. After retirement I automatically went back to my natural eating habit of OMAD/eating only when I was hungry and not eating past 7pm, I also started getting regular sleep (no more shift work, although I am still a night owl), I dropped from 190 to 160/165. I am disabled, so any kind of working out anymore cannot be done. I maintained that weight, and continued OMAD for 9 years. Menopause hit me hard right on my 50th birthday, but the OMAD was still working fine and my weight was constantly at 160/165. Suddenly the fall of 2018 at the age of 56, out of nowhere, I gained 5 lbs in August, another 5 lbs in September, and another 5 lbs in October. Within 3 months I weighed 180 without doing anything differently from the previous 9 years. It was like the body snatchers or something. OMAD no longer worked, so panicked. I tried eating several small meals, weight still crept on. I tried Kachava meal replacement, the weight still crept on. I tried a version of OMAD, but hate feeling hungry when I get up, so I snacked a little an hour before bed. Weight crept on. I was also starting to get heartburn several times a day, and eating an antacid each time to put the fire out. For the first time in my life, my body was out of control, and everything I tried was only making it worse, and I was running out of ideas. A week ago, I weighed 195. I was devastated. To give you an idea, just before my 30th birthday, I weight 201 the day before I had my son who weighed 9 lbs and was 24" long. I looked into pills, I looked into programs that cost thousands of dollars (that I can't afford), and I about lost hope. I came across an ad on FB about intermittent fasting, and looked into that since that's pretty much what I did for years, while people harped on me "you know, that's not good for you".. I saw that I was right when I was listening to my body. But that was before the decade of dealing with menopause, and having the weight slowly packing on since 2018 when I became post-menopausal. One of the groups I had joined had mentioned you, Dr Mindy. I decided to watch your videos, and just bought your two latest books. While I'm gathering this information over the last 6 days, I decided after a couple of days of watching your information to try an 18:6 daily fast while I get the information about what might work for me, being 61 and post-menopausal. I decided to weigh myself a couple of days ago, fully expecting to have gained yet more weight, and actually found that after being on the 18:6 for 4 days, I had lost 5 lbs. I also notice the heartburn frequency has diminished a lot. I also drink only Dyln Alkaline water. I think I'll try the 5-1-1 and see how that goes. I just want to thank you for reminding me that I wasn't wrong with listening to my body in how I used to eat... and that now it's not my imagination that I still can, but I have to adjust because of being post-menopausal. There is hope.

I don’t do this now, but in the past I did Keto and lost 60 lbs in 3 months by having 1-2 meals a day. I would eat when I was hungry. I also would have 1-2 bulletproof coffees a day (butter, coconut oil, and heavy whipping cream) and that helped me extend my not eating window. Unfortunately, I did have a few side effects to what I was doing, the first was hair loss and found out a few years later that I have Hashimoto’s, the second was that I would go back and forth from having diarrhea to having constipation if I had too much kale, and the third was I kept getting redness in one of my eyes. I gained most of the weight back and would like to find a healthier way to lose weight I.e. Dr. Mindy’s or a similar way. I’m 235 lbs and 5’9” right now.
