OMAD for Women: Bad Idea or Secret Tool?

[@nerychristian]

The best part of OMAD is the freedom you have during the day. We spend so much time during the day thinking about food, or planning our lives around our mealtimes. .

[@RiverReeves23]

So agree!

Just finished my first month of OMAD. 100% whole food and a 30 minute walk 6 days a week. Lost 22lbs. Did extreme low carb the month before that and lost 20lbs that month. No cravings for crap whatsoever. No hunger. Life changing. Thank you.

I find after doing omad for a month consistently every day your body gets used to it and begins to stop losing weight. (Which sucks). I’m assuming a extended fast would snap this problem.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

@@Kyshalise I do this to reduce inflammation and to garner some useable energy...it really helps. I do know some people are more resistant re weight loss....i did lose weight doing Carnivore...but after 4 months craved saladings and herbs. I'd suggest keep doing it and your body could respond to more weight loss in time. I just love the OMAD because it so easy just cooking once a day. Good luck with it all. 🌻

I've been doing OMAD since I began keto for an extremely long time. I didn't plan on doing OMAD.. I just sort of slipped into it naturally because I am hardly ever hungry throughout the day. I feel so much better cognitively. Clarity. No brain fog. Better memory. People are often surprised that I don't get hungry.. I tell them it's a positive and natural side effect of going on a high fat and low carb diet. 😊

@@finawatsonart Hi, Fiona. I have a history of an inability to concentrate. To focus. Memory problems since I was a kid. I can't recall half of my life. I don't remember much of my childhood nor adolescence. Just bits and pieces. It was bad. Once I began keto to reverse my prediabetes and cure my severe acne, I realized my memory got better. Way better ( and doctors say memory declines with age... mine got better). Family and friends commented on how well I remember things now. I can focus and concentrate. I've been on keto since 2016. 😊. Intermittent fasting and Keto is the key to eliminating brain fog. I wish you all the best! 🤗

[@alphacause]

Thank you Mike and Deanna for this sensible presentation on OMAD. I love the fact that you are not dogmatic about it, and offer the caveat that OMAD, like any other dietary strategy, must be customized to fit your fitness and health goals. At the risk of possibly oversimplifying things, I never understood why people have misgivings about women doing OMAD. From an evolutionary perspective, nature did not historically discriminate when it came to food scarcity and which gender experienced it. If there was a dearth of food, both the men and women among our hunter gather ancestry experienced it equally. If going for an extended period of time without food were more injurious to women, the pervasive food scarcity that we experienced for most of human history would mean that a disproportionate amount of women would die in relation to the male population- thus spelling the end of the human race. Even beyond the hunter gather era, many cultures an religions, such as Islam, advocate for fasting for both genders. While there are a myriad of differences between men and women, I think the fact that women are still here, and that the human race is still here because women are still here, is proof enough that women don't need to take extra precautions when it comes to fasting - with the exception of those women who suffer from eating disorders or who are underweight.

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

[@hol8642]

I LOVE the non-dogmatic, flexible attitude you guys promote. With these videos I feel like I can take the information and tune it into my self, rather than hand over my autonomy to another source. Personally, I'm not a fan of the rigid communities that surround specific dietary choices, it has always put me off. I've never liked that there's an external, social agenda held against me, with absolutely no room for intuition or adaptability. I like my health to fit my own narrative, it builds a deeper connection with the self - the ultimate life-long health goal. Please keep up the couple videos!

I have been doing OMAD for maybe 3 months now and I have lost 31lbs. I still have another 48-55lbs to go. I have found this way of eating to suit me so well. I was one of these people when cutting calories I would obsess over food I even dreamt about food 😅 eating OMAD stops me obsessing over calories. I still treat myself occasionally with a takeaway or something sweet. Before while counting calories if I had takeout food or some cake I would fall of the food wagon and binge over a few days and be back at square one. I have an under active thyroid and ulcerative colitis so my energy levels were very low, I also had brain fog forgetting things which was starting to effect my work. Since starting OMAD I have noticed my energy is up and the brain fog has gone. At the very beginning, say 3-4 days I was hungry and a bit miserable but after that when it got to my eating hour I found I filled up very quickly. This way of eating my not be for everyone but I find its great

K D love this and thanks for sharing ! OMAD makes it very easy to track and tailor your food requirements. It’s a beautiful thing. I personally love my brain clarity and productivity on OMAD days.

Chris Masterjohn suggests nutrient absorption might be problematic when feeding is reduced to a single sitting. For example, assuming a meal with complete proteins/vitamins/minerals (setting aside the issue of phytates or nutrients that compete with each other like Cu/Zn, Mn/Ca, etc).. he says the body won't be able to absorb all the (RDA) necessary nutrients (ex. B-12 , Zinc, etc) even if they're present in abundance!

Love your wife! I went to omad naturally via carnviory , as my appetite reduced. Not looking to gain muscle either. Just preserve strength and maintain after reaching my goals with keto.I went to carnviore as I used to suffer from a binge eating disorder and still suffered with cravings for sweets with keto. Carnivore truly healed me. But also reduced my appetite. People might say, "Isn't omad binging?" I actually do my omad within 1-3 hrs and unlike binging, it's mindful and SLOW. Typicaly it's now 2 hrs but like she said, she is flexible. I did 4 hrs yesterday. So glad she mentioned it's not black and white. I can still be considered omad despite not always finishing within the hour. Speaking of body composition... after switching to omad I did not think any further improvements could be made to my physique. I was WRONG. ANd gladly so. I get alot of compliments on my striations and people think I compete in bikini or figure. I do not! I used to lift but didn't always look it. Now I LOOK like I lift...and COMPETE!

it depends what your reasons are when choosing a short feeding window. If it’s for autophagy , no cream. Sometimes I’ll have a little whey protein post leg day workout out. I’m not strict with OMAD- but rather flexible . Whatever helps me build muscle, digest food well and sleep well- also brain health & productivity . So with any type of time restricted feeding- no matter if OMAD or a 6-hr window, it’s a personal choice.

IMO, yes. Albeit slightly.

DC I think it also depends on the foods that you’re eating. I typically eat 1800 calories in a 2-hour window. Quite easy with fatty meats, organ meats yolks, ect and also good plant-based fats if you can tolerate them , such as avocado, olives - I found, personally, maintenance about the same. But some feel if Keto-Adapted, your body becomes more efficient with burning its own fat for fuel so you can get away with less. That being said- it also depends on % lean muscle you have and how much body fat you need to burn to reach your target goals.

Two questions regarding fitness and OMAD: Does Deanna lift heavy while fasted? And does she remain fasted post work-out? I'm slowly getting into OMAD, and that's my major concern. I DID buy the Food Fasting Fitness E-book--hopefully the answer is in there! Still need to read it! Maybe that's a concern of other people considering OMAD who weight lift though? Thank you both, so much for sharing this knowledge with us and making it so easy to digest!

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

White Bleeding Heart hi! So I always lift fasted - but I’m very intuitive with what my body needs. Some day I’ll have a little whey protein post workout. Others days I won’t feel the need. On days that I lift heavy and with more volume, I’ll often extend the feeding window to 3-4 hours (2 meals). My point is this- it’s not something that I necessarily do every single day. I’m not strict with the approach because that would be dieting. It’s a tool to evaluate true hunger- and I really try to listen to my body. I will always eat if I truly feel hungry or if my strength isn’t where it should be for a period of time. Journaling can really help with intuition.

[@TrishaNP]

@@deannamutzeldc6314 Thank you for replying! Journaling as a way to connect with and be more in-tune with your body is something I had never thought of. Will definitely be trying journaling soon. Intuitive eating is a healthier headspace for me, rather than obsessing over the rules/details/restrictions of 'dieting'/diet-culture. But I'm still working on connecting with myself and *really* listening to my body and what it needs. Thank you for being such a grounded judge-free inspiration, and for taking the time to reply. I admire you, so much. --Trisha

If the body eats it’s own fat when fasting on OMAD, then what is all of worry about getting enough calories?

[@fabumaful]

I do omad on a plant based whole food diet. Great results and energy!

[@marie-louisejacobs540]

Absolutely love you guys! Thanks for all the wisdom put out there to help us being more healthy and disciplined. We need more people like this.

I have been doing a keto/Carnivore diet diet for 13 months now. I was eating in an 8-10 hour window, weight training 1 hour full body heavy 2x/week and doing yoga 20-30 minutes 3x/week but plateaued and actually starting regaining weight. I tried narrowing my eating window down to 6 hours and experienced negative gastrointestinal changes (ie bloating, constipation, etc) regardless of taking electrolytes and upping my salt intake. Any suggestions? I have autoimmunity of my gut (no specific diagnosis just Cyrex testing) and hypothyroidism (possibly Hashimoto’s). I stopped taking my compounded thyroid hormone in July due having signs of hyperthyroidism (ie elevated resting HR, diarrhea, etc) and hearing research that it can cause muscle wasting on a ketogenic diet.

[@ritabrophy3755]

Love these videos with both you. As a 65 year old woman, is my cLorie intake different. I want to lose belly fat.

[@maxincrease]

My goal is 100lb loss to 140...I really have to work on the veggie thing - in my mind i think i need ...as growing up youve heard eat your veggies - is the book avail now? ...im also struggling with the thought of too much meat and the mtor and cancer??? ...thanks again for the video, i was waiting for this!

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

Its more likely to develop cancer by eating all that pesticide polluted -trash- green food. And you need to eat that every day. Or you feel hungry. With OMAD, there can be times where you don't eat every single day. Are you really hungry, or is it your eating habit, asking for food? One girl i know, she's just 30 years young, already had cancer. And for the cancer not to return. Every few weeks, she doesn't eat for two to three days. With OMAD you might not even notice that you didn't eat today. But not everyone can refrain from all the trash food, like cake, coke, sweets, wheat products etc. etc. Especially the people with the "VEGAN" mindset.

[@vannafillion6738]

@@maxincrease i have been doing omad for 6 months and just love it. If i feel a little hungry at work i eat redmond salt. It energizes me immediately.

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

maxx increase you can keep meat lower if fat is higher if that helps. Often I rotate between the two ratios

[@cocatezz]

Just curious. All good but, wouldn't 1300-1700 kcal for a woman be too little even if consumed in one eating window?

[@katherinegeorge4945]

If you want to lose weight don't you need to reduce the calories?

[@heatherogoussan7984]

How would one implement this with hypoglycemia?

Thank you! this is great information! Love your attitude towards how you encourage us to measure our individual needs and change accordingly.

When will the book be out? Can't wait!!! =)

[@kathleensmith8969]

I have no problem eating at least 1500 in a meal! Don’t know why that would be hard for some people. But my window is 16/8 so I fight to keep it under 2000 cal. I can Maintain weight at that. Would do OMAD but it’s hard to wait 16 hours let alone another 4 or more 😳

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

Kathleen Smith I’m the same way Kathleen! It’s almost too easy for me!! 😂😂 I was always the gal who’d go back for thirds, tho, on Thanksgiving dinner . A girl loves to eat a lot in a sitting 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@laurastewart3486]

I am morbidly obese. I have gone cold turkey to Omar. I only eat breakfast, & usually 1000 calories or less. Before I eat I have cayenne tea with lemon. And because it has been 23 +hours since my last meal, I routinely feel dizzy & anxious between the time of consuming tea and b4 I eat. Why ? But I have also made real effort in giving up sugar. The weight is rapidly dropping off, just in the last 6 days. Thanks.

[@cierabennett8826]

Laura Stewart I felt like that when I started as well. It passes, it’s just your body adjusting to what you’re doing. Now that everything is balanced I never feel hungry.

Great video , I’m slowly compressing my feeding window .... but my garden is bursting with produce so staying keto is difficult

You will for sure get 👍 for this video !!!

[@completewellness5738]

Deanna, glad to see you back on video with Mike! I know I personally benefit from getting your perspective, both as a doctor and a woman. Also, whatever small-minded, insecure coward that called you a "man" from the safety and anonymity of their social media account, they are ignorant and very mistaken :)

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

Complete Wellness thank you! I’m not worried about troll comments- it happens to everyone on social media - they don’t know me personally so can’t take it personally 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Yes, I love having a female voice in the mix. It often feels like I'm watching men talk to other men.

[@claudiafernandez8998]

Please give up tips as to what to eat, when to eat, how many calories, do you drink only water? I am an emotional eater and I think about food all day. So give us tips on avoiding hunger and cravings throughout the day.

Is it possible to build muscle on OMAD with limited exercise (I.e. just walking as I'm too just starting building strength)?

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

I've been listening to a lot of people on clubhouse. They've made eating complications. OMAD sounds simple and healthy and it's been around for thousands of years.

[@shanellrodriguez2581]

I switched to omad a few weeks ago and 1st thing I did notice is that I used to get tired around 3pm and now I have a lot more energy throughout the day. Also I don’t get hungry until around 7pm or later anymore.

[@narcismebelgie]

Mayday I need your help. I’m 124 pounds. 1,63m. 54 years. I run 3 times a week half an hour. 3 times per week push-ups. I have no clue how many calories I can eat a day. 🤔😳 I don’t need to diet, just maintenance. I switch with OMAD and 20/4, 18/6. Thank you!

[@deannamutzeldc6314]

Constantia de Gier hi! So I’d say there is no Black & White answer. Eat to a comfortable satiety and your body will let you know what it needs. Some days you may find you need a much larger feeding window! I do! Especially if you love to run !

[@narcismebelgie]

Deanna Mutzel, DC I’m so grateful for your answer and you’re right! Actually you confirmed what I was feeling and doing. But I needed to hear that, from you! Thank you thank you.
