OMAD diet results: I ate one hour a day for 7 days.

I'm not an expert but my understanding is that some part of the benefit of intermittent fasting comes from the fact that normal humans can't eat as much if they limit the window during which they're allowed to eat. But Trent is not a normal human so he can cram one whole day's worth of food into less than one hour 😂

If you believe in yourself, all things are possible

I believe its about one meal a day, not much about eat one hour a day 😅

0:35 "in fact, there is only one rule... You have 1 hour a day to eat." This is incorrect. It boggles my mind how hard a concept OMAD is for some people, but this comes from the constant misinformation out there from everyone wanting to be some sort of diet influencer. OMAD is ONE MEAL PER DAY. That means you eat until full, and then don't eat the rest of the day. People like to put time limits and all sorts of things onto OMAD. Fasting Fatman believed OMAD meant he had to eat his regular 3 meals.. In one meal, and would eat for 4 hours, and wouldn't listen to anyone who told him otherwise. EDIT: It seems like you're doing a similar approach to the Fasting Fatman where you laid out an entire day's meals at once. It seems like you were struggling to get all that food down, when there is no real point in forcing yourself. Eat as much as you need until you're full, that's all. You're making this out to be a food challenge where you're trying to eat a huge portion of food in one sitting and forcing yourself. You said yourself you are more full than you were hungry coming into it. You don't want to be sick. Especially after fasting... Stuffing yourself can be a bad thing and make the body unhappy. You want to take it slow. OMAD is easier with this, but if it was a longer fast, it could be rough stuffing yourself. :ENDEDIT Overall, the goal in fasting is to get in as much fasting time as possible. Every meal you eat breaks the fast, but also causes you to take time to eat the meal. The longer you take to eat that meal, the less time you have to fast if you are doing OMAD/etc where you eat at a certain time. So if you did an OMAD Meal that lasted 24 hours, your fast would start at the end of that 24 hours, that's really what it comes down to. When I started fasting 6 years ago, I would drink milk for refeeds, which meant my refeeds were 1-5 mins max, if that. It would take probably a minute for me most times to finish the quarter to half gallon I would drink, before getting back into fasting.

Yeah, doing research I saw that some people defined OMAD as one hour a day and some people defined it as a single meal (lasting up to 4 hours in some examples I saw). I did a bad job of hashing out that nuance in the video. I actually explained that to the camera at one point but ended up editing that out, which I'm regretting, given your comment :-) Day 1 I came with the approach of chasing a specific calorie goal, but if you keep watching the video you'll see that I changed my approach through the week and ended up finding a strategy that worked for me by day 5 or 6.

@@trent_would Yeah, it's a shame that the definition has gone so crazy, and people are making their own definitions, but it's pretty simple. Just eat one meal, done, simple. No worries it happens. Yeah I saw later on that you changed it up a bit. I'm not sure how I would feel doing this if I went from having to stuff myself to "Starve" myself back and forth. That is why going to satisfied/full is key. IT's hard for those who are extremely addicted to food and need their fix, though. Have a good day.
