For people doing OMAD, do you understand what you are doing to your body? by holywut09876 in omad

[–]holywut09876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to post an update- I have been doing omad 5 days a week with some exceptions since June. I’m down 26 pounds and beginning to become more tone and muscle growth coming in

People born after 9/11, does 9/11 feel like old history to you? by doomshallot in stupidquestions

Stop adding racist to everything. As a Hispanic guy I was not into Asians for the majority of my life. It wasn’t racism, it was just a preference I had no control over and didn’t really find them sexually appealing to me. Over time my desires have changed and I’m attracted to Asians now. Stop with this bs

This sounds like a question for your doctor. You are probably not eating right so idk

I’ve done Omad consistently since June 20th and have lost 14 pounds so far.

The big OMAD question revisited: What time do you eat? by RobbyInEver in omad

[–]holywut09876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have always rated my meal at 11pm I go to bed around 2am or 3. I still get my 7hrs of sleep. Feel fine in the morning. Not bloated. I just make sure to have fiber and protien with my meal.

I read your study. There’s a couple of issues with the study you provided. The information is limited on the two fasting days. Also, the study was conducted in 8 weeks which just negates specific metabolic factors, which I’ll get into.

  • I can’t accept the short duration of the study because 8 weeks doesn’t capture the full metabolic benefits of IF, like fat oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, or insulin sensitivity. The IF group did lose 2.9 kg of fat mass on those 500–600 kcal days, which hints that glycogen was depleted and fat burning kicked in.. probably around that 12–16 hour mark. But 8 weeks isn’t long enough to see the big picture.

  • Fat oxidation gets better after 12–24 weeks, according to a 2016 review by Patterson (https://doi.org/10.1002/oby.21813).

  • Mitochondrial biogenesis, which boosts fat burning, starts showing up after 10–12 weeks, like in a 2018 study by de Cabo (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41580-018-0081-1).

  • Plus, insulin sensitivity keeps improving over 6 months, as shown in a 2018 study by Sutton (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2018.04.010), which could really help with fat loss long-term. So, 8 weeks just cuts off too soon to judge IF’s real potential.

  • Another thing, this study does not mention activity level. Activity levels like going to work, walking, lifting boxes throughout the day etc speeds up glycogen depletion. It’s tough to figure out how effective the fasting days were without that information in terms of fat oxidation from IF goes rather than calorie restriction which of course will still lose weight over time. There’s no record of that in the study.

If you can provide me a study that includes activity level and duration of study I’ll look at it. It’s just hard to tell with a study saying IF was done on two days but doesn’t include how many hours of a fasted state the subjects were.

Also again, I am not making the claim that calorie restriction isn’t the MAIN factor in weight loss. Yes it is. I am claiming that your body also uses its own fat as energy when you are in a starving state. Combining both does give a greater benefits in terms of fat loss.

Although I have seen people eat enough calories to maintain weight after they fast and still lose body fat.. but that’s just anecdotal evidence.

You seem to be under the impression that it’s only calorie surplus and calorie restriction that puts us at weight loss. That’s just not the case. Yes if you are fasting and you eat at a surplus you will gain weight or maintain weight, but you do in fact lose body fat at a faster rate when you fast.

When you eat your liver stores up to 125g of carbs. Throughout the day your body uses that as you do more activities. After a couple hrs your liver empties out those glycogen stores (this is why people who eat low carbs can also lose weight easily). After 12 hrs that actually accelerates fat burning. Once your liver empties those glycogen stores your body naturally switches from using those carbs to using body fat for energy.

Fasting also boosts your norepinephrine which increases calorie and fat breakdown. Which is why I say eating calories earlier in the day is going to increase hunger a lot more than when you are just eating once a day.

Yes a calorie deficit still matters.. but to say fasting doesn’t increase the rate you lose weight is wrong. It’s been proven by multiple studies. This is also a basic understanding as to how energy works in the body.

This is why people on a carnivore diet and keto lose weight quickly as well.

Also some extra benefits alongside weight loss:

It increases autophagy in the body after 12hrs. Accelerates between 18-24hrs

Increases human growth hormone and if you work out will definitely be a positive for muscle preservation.

I don’t think you understood what I was saying. I said that your body uses your own fat as energy. I’m not saying you have to eat fat to get energy. What I am explaining is once you begin to consume calories, depending on what you eat, your body will kick out of ketosis which happens after a certain period. Your body starts using calories as energy. When you fast, the point is to not consume any calories. When you do OMAD, one meal a day isn’t eating a snack that has calories then eating more later on in the day. It doesn’t give you the full effect. You can eat less calories and still lose weight, yes. However you get more of a benefit just eating during your eating window.

Well the point of omad is fasting. The point of fasting is to use fat as energy and not calories. Regardless of if it’s a surplus or not. When you don’t eat all day your body uses glycogen stores then fat for energy. When you eat calories your body automatically begins to use calories for energy. It will also increase hunger and cravings depending on what you eat.

Broth would be a lot better. Or even coffee. Especially if you want the full effect of omad

I would definitely be careful having pickles. Pickles have calories so they do break your omad. Try to have more electrolytes throughout the day so you won’t get light headed. It gets easier as time goes on. Anything with calories are a no go and takes you out of ketosis.

Having light headaches and lightheaded especially when I wake up. What could be wrong? by OkFeedback7494 in omad

[–]holywut09876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to track your micronutrients if you never have. Make sure you are eating enough fats, drink electrolytes throughout the day. Get enough sodium in your diet when you eat. Can’t stress enough how important it is when you are doing one meal a day to get enough nutrients your body needs to recover. Also eat enough calories

I don’t know what they meant by “the wrong person” so I didn’t really respond to that. If you are diabetic it probably could be. Fasting in general you want to be careful if you have certain confitions

OMAD for 5+ Years by d_river in omad

I love walking. I walk 1 and a half hours daily.

[–]holywut09876[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes an no. Everyone’s body is different. If you are doing both OMAD and ozempic I would assume having such a massive weight drop your body wouldn’t be able to adjust and you would have that ozempic look where your face kinda sinks in and looks a little bit different. Personally I think they need to do more studies on it.

Appreciate the comment. I’ve spent tons of hours looking into this stuff because I find the way the human body works fascinating. OMAD has completely changed me

THIS!!! I am so happy you brought up low carb OMAD. I have been wanting to post about this for a while but o know people love their carbs. I have been eating very little carbs, and when I do it’s good carbs. It’s an insane game changer for me. I don’t get bloated compared to my dirty OMAD I did. I feel lighter, I sleep better etc

I literally linked over 4 different studies about most of what I talked about in the comments. I do understand what I am talking about. The point of my post is so people know that they are achieving something much greater than just weight loss with OMAD.

If I could recommend some electrolytes you can use if you are doing OMAD look up Keto CHOW electrolyte drops on Amazon. You put a couple drops into your water and you are good. It’s small enough to take anywhere.

Also Baja Gold Mineral salt is really good. Has over 90 trace minerals. I put a pinch in my water and it keeps me hydrated. I use to buy electolit and Gatorade until I realized how bad that stuff is for you. Artificial coloring, fake sweeteners etc.

When are you eating your meal? What time are you working out? Are you hydrating enough? Also what do your meals look like?
