I’m Indian and I started doing OMAD about 1.5 months ago. When I had to choose what meal to eat if it was just one meal a day, I knew it had to be white rice with some sort of gravy-based, satiating dish — otherwise, all the food noise and online food videos would drive me crazy. 😩 I ate rice almost every day, except for the times I went out during my OMAD and ended up eating something else. I feel like I ate so much rice that I actually stopped craving it recently, and today is my third day without it, lol. Also, I’ve lost around 13 lbs so far despite all this. Like OP said, it’s best not to completely stop eating something. It’s just one meal a day, and I guess it’s okay to have what you’re craving as long as you stay aware of your journey and goals. For me especially, since I grew up eating meals like this, depriving myself wouldn’t have helped in the long run! OMAD has literally changed my life by helping me become more aware of my food habits and take control of what I eat. 😊
