What I Eat in a Day - OMAD

I try to do a down day & an up day once every week. I think it helps me to prevent my body from getting in a routine - both physically and mentally. It's freeing to have options!

I gained 65 lbs in my 20s due to stress eating from losing a parent when I was 18. I tried diets and I tried accepting myself as I was while continuing to feel out of control. Then, 20 years passed and I was a 41 year old mom with plantar faciitis, bad knees, and felt like a failure because I couldn't quit dessert, give up carbs or work out profusely for 3 hours non-stop. Then, while feeling depressed and crying while inhaling a massive bag of Easter sour jelly beans, I stumbled upon your IF and OMAD videos. My life is CHANGED because of finding your videos 😭 I too now use Zero, I completely quit putting milk and sweetness in my coffees/teas, and all this week, I completed my first down day, up day, and my first 36 hour fast of my entire life. It was SO HEALING. Already, I feel my plantar faciitis somehow miraculously healing (no doubt due to the autophagy), I have suffered from chronic migranes for years and they seem to have disappeared, my sleep is better, and my depression seems to also have disappeared. The weight loss I have been failing to achieve is finally happening and I have fallen completely in love with this life. I thank you from the bottom of my east coast Canadian heart for this content!!!

So many other fasting videos get me a little anxious but yours are so relaxing and inspire me to get back on track! Thank you for these

[@sheryllowery736]

Hi. I found you from your Aldi Addict channel and I am so glad I did. As a child/teen I never wanted breakfast, but all the hype about it being the most important meal of the day had me forcing a morning meal. After watching your videos I ordered Fast,Feast, Repeat and jumped into IF for real. I’m still a newbie but constantly hitting 18:6 windows. Yesterday I was out shopping and ended up with an OMAD day. So true how IF is flexible. I’m a tea drinker and you have this Texan swapping her sweet tea for unsweetened! #cleanfastcrew Thank you for all you do 🙂

[@sunseekerrs3087]

I love your channel so much! I just laughed when your daughter was walking with you while she was eating an ice cream bar and you “cried” a little. 😁 You are very encouraging and so realistic about your IF journey. It’s really refreshing. Thank you!

[@gillsmoke]

Hey, thought you should know, if you are drinking decaf on the regular you REALLY need to look for "Swiss processed" or water processed decaf, that's the method where they steam then soak the beans in hot water to remove the caffeine. The other methods uses a lot of harsh chemicals like acetate to leach it out. then they rinse the beans before roasting. It'll say on the package if it was water processed or not. A close second is the carbon dioxide method, again the method should be on the package, if it's not assume it's a chemical method.

[@CarrieYoung887]

Excellent video as always! Loved seeing the down day and up day at the same time. I need to start incorporating this into my IF schedule!

[@markgriffin9059]

Congrats 🎉 on two years Jackie!!

Congratulations on your IF anniversary!! Thank you for sharing your journey!! You inspired me to get Gin’s book and I am enjoying my IF journey too! The mental freedom from all the planning and counting is amazing!!

Just happened upon your channel. I just started IF on Monday 😳 excited to see it work! What I really came here to say, though, is I noticed your CMU sweatshirt…..I live between a Midland and Mt Pleasant. Small world 🤣 I’m excited to watch more of your videos for inspiration!

[@yensounta6501]

Really nice to see this! How long is your eating window on up days? Do you ever skip "down days"?

[@sascarter2350]

You make a “down day” look doable and, more importantly, enjoyable! I’m five years in with IF but haven’t skipped a day of eating nor have I done a 500 calorie down day. Thanks for showing how to do it in a reasonable way!! Love this!

[@ashep8512]

What is your other channels. I’m interested! Love this one by the way

[@kkrall8611]

Thanks for this video. I' curious, tell me which watch are you using to count your fasting time?

[@lenayoung1497]

Hi Jackie, and foodie fam! Just so I'm clear What is a down day, And the consistency thereof? As well what does an up day consist of. Your doing a great job inspiring fasters.

[@zephyronfire3821]

Jackie, you truly rock & ty for your encouragement before my daughter's wedding! At my age of 54, it seemed Ilost more inches than scale weight, but I wore a mermaid style dress with arm wrap and I felt really elegant in it & great in my own skin. :) !

[@auntpurl5325]

I love how you have fun and make a game of your down day 500 calories meals. It's the only way counting calories could ever be fun. Low stakes, high interest.

[@DivineMojo]

Hi Jackie, what app are you using on your watch? Thank you!

[@chakranita]

I love your channel and approach, Jackie! I would double check the calories in pepitas, though. I think they have a lot more calories in that volume. Might weigh and check grams. Just trying to help here- not a criticism. 😁

[@candacerushing6882]

Can you put a link to the watch you use to track your fasts? Thanks!

[@lynnestait8011]

I'd never heard of pepitas but they looked so much like pumpkin seeds, I looked them up, they are pumpkin seeds! another one we have a different name for here in the UK - along with Aubergines (eggplant) Courgette (zucchini) and Coriander (cilantro) - I've only recently found your channel and have started reading the Gin Stephens book you recommended - my favourite way to have pepitas is with full fat Greek yoghurt, some chia seeds, a few raspberries & brazil nuts, and sometimes a couple of squares of 90% dark chocolate - I am 4 days into my fasting way of life :-) thank you so much for your informative content

[@NessaK1981]

Hello! I am in Canada and I LOVE the UK 😊 Been there many times to meet my favorite panel show comedians! I too am an IFer who loves Jackie's vids. Cheers!!

[@sunshine-tc7pj]

hey jackie, you are always cold cause of your ice water. Like i mentioned before you need to drink warm water or room temp water. that will help so much as the weather gets colder :)

[@kindlambert572]

I’m currently on week 3 and trying to be patient to accept changes and consistency with just clean fasting. When did you start adding in up and down days?

[@choosejoy93]

I love how laid back you are while in your fasting window! It really helps me find that energy within myself. I have a history of disordered eating and I.F has actually really REALLY helped me but I still have days where I get super antsy to eat, even if I'm not actually hungry. Still a work in progress but your videos are a huge encouragement to me! 💜

[@marytsang1427]

Your videos inspire me. I hope to be solid on Omad one day soon. I am still struggling around 9 pm being hungry. I know it’s mind over matter. Thank you for everything.

[@hanab837]

Mary Tsang, I don't know if it will help you or not, but Dy Ann Parham has a saying, "Hungry is where the magic happens." When I get hunger pangs at night, I say that to myself. It helps me stay focused on my goal. Those slight feelings of hunger are telling me that my body is about to switch over to fat burning mode.

[@bettinaschoppe793]

It helps going to bed early

[@JennyLory]

I agree with Hannah... When you're feeling hunger, that's often your body switching over to burning its own fat for fuel, it's trying to get you to eat because it needs energy, lol, And so if you work through that feeling, with maybe a dash of salt on your tongue, your body will give up and switch to its fat stores! And the hunger will probably go away. But-- Are you saying that you've had your one meal in the middle of the day, and then at 9:00 you experience hunger after you've started your next fast? Maybe try changing your window time... I typically eat one meal a day in the evening, anywhere from 5:00 to 8:00. Then I'm done. Because I'm practicing the clean fast technique, I don't experience any hunger the entire time that I'm fasting. Best of luck!!👍

[@valeriemedina.drawingonspirit]

can you post a time frame schedule- I have so much trouble with when to stop and have a small meal on a down day-

Doing great though. Can you let me know what fasting app you use? Did you have trouble not counting calories or carbs?

I have only seen a few of your videos but notice how toned and trim your arms are. Did you have any issues with hanging loose skin? I have heard that unlike reduced calorie diets, fasting works to eliminate loose skin through autophagy. What do you say?

I dont understand when the 500 calorie meal is supposed to be consumed during a down day. Assuming the entire fast is 36 hours, is the meal eaten after 18 hours fasted, and then you fast for another 18 hours? Can't seem to figure this out....please help!

What is wrong with zero calorie soda?

[@hanab837]

It is probably the artificial sweeteners. I can't drink them, because they make me sick. Many people stay away from them at all costs because of the risks associated with some of them (cancer, dizziness, headaches...), so people might tell her she shouldn't be drinking them. But a decision like that has to be up to the individual. If she is comfortable with them, that is 100% her decision to make. No one should judge her for that. 😊

OMG! Please throw all of those ceramic knives away immediately! Please look at the bottoms of al of your knives. Do you see any tiny shards missing? These things should be banned from the market. They are not safe to use. Please only use stainless steel grade knives. Just found your channel. Your videos are great. I’ve decided on 20 hour fasts. I’m 64 and based on what I am learning that is a good fast for women my age. I have a lot of weight to lose. I’m thinking slow but steady wins the race on this one. I’m finding the 20 hour fasts easy. I love your attitude towards food. It is definitely a healthy, doable and fun way to eat that allows one to live life with family. This is definitely the way for me. BTW the pizza you made looks crazy delicious and amazing! Thank you for your channel it is ver encouraging and and inspiration to keep doing this another day. I really like how you mix things up and allow yourself not only variety of food but fasting windows. I am a bit stuck on needing my first food to be a breakfast item but other than that I’m getting the swing of it.
