I just am not buying this was done in the second most professional shop in town. No professional shop put that "artist" in a chair and lets them draw on people in that manner. No. That can't be true. It's doesn't matter what I buy - that's already bought and paid for. You need to have that removed with a laser. I would insist the shop pay for it.
he switches the time of his fasting. I OMAD noon at the office Monday through Thursday. When I close my window Thursday I do not eat again until Saturday. Saturday is an unrestricted day of food. In saying that I make clean choices rarely eat junk - but truly no food is off limits but for diet foods and diet pop. Saturday I eat what I like when I like for however long I desire. Sunday is an OMAD also at anytime I like - it usually coincides with food prep. I prep my OMAD for the week on Sunday and eat once when I like. That shakes things up for me. Occasionally early week I may have a longer than OMAD fast, but right now I have been with this schedule and I love it. It works really well. I also found out if I eat at noon I don't even think about food in the evenings. When I was eating my OMAD at night at the house I wanted to continue snacking after my meal. It's a non issue with this schedule.
I think folks just need to find out what works for them, what they can manage. I have been fasting since 2020 I think it may have been 2019 my brain is scattered today... and I just found out this year what a difference OMAD Lunch means for me. When I was sick I ate here at the office because I was too tired to at night but the penny didn't drop with the fasting until I was journal'ing all things health and wellness and I put 2&2 together. For me too I eat pretty clean today was a blackened chili crisp wild caught cod and a salad and grapes/blue and black berries,organic Greek Yogurt, Crazy Richard Peanut butter. I hadd fermented foods on the salad and a couple Olives. I open at noon snack on my fruit berry dessert until its gone or 2:00 pm whatever comes first. The cleaner I eat the "easier" it is for me. I just read someone else explaining the same thing to a person who was struggling. He quit sugar and ultra processed foods, started eating whole foods and dropped an immediate 20 - ate a lot of food until he cleaned it up and now for him it isn't an issue. Whole foods satisfy him. It's gradual steps getting there for those that do. many don't and are quite successful. I read or listen to Obesity Code, Fast Feast Repeat, Intermittent Fasting Stories Podcast and I would also look into the glucose goddess for information on how the order food is eaten really makes a difference. It's always going to be an evolving journey. I keep track of everything in my day one journal app and I also carry a moleskin for fitness logs and stats weekly I track all exercise tabulate for the week, month and yearly totals. I have to stay fully into it to be successful. I don't know about being wise or anything like that I just decided this year not to half ass it and dig in and make some changes. I am at an age where I can't ignore it any longer. Don't wait until you are my age to get a hold of this.
Weigh once a day take a weekly average. Get the app Happy Scale - a guy who fasts made the app because he knew daily fluctuations really ate people's brains. Fluctuation is to be expected by many pounds a day. The body has a lot of processes going on simultaneously - fluctuations happen. Happy Scale will help you realize that - it does the averaging for you if you decide not to handle that yourself. You could also buy a scale that gives you feedback based on colors for loss mode, maintenance mode, and gain mode. Then you don't have to see a number. I weigh daily doesn't matter what time; I take that weight and get the average for the week.
I have a lot of friends who OMAD with a longer window and different food choices to maintain. Many have done so for years—10+ years, if I am not mistaken. I know a couple of almost 10-year-fasters maintaining as well.
I just go by how I feel. I have been eating fairly clean, so it's not an issue for me. But even when it wasn't squeaky clean, I just went with the hunger. Dr. Bert Herring has a great book on the topic:
I had medical issues that brought me to fasting. My pcp suggested it- he has fasted his whole life - long before the internet. I was open to it so he presented it to my oncology team and together they decided 50 at the time was as long as they wanted me to fast. So that’s where it started from and I just have continued with that. I feel it working no doubt. I know for me it’s enough. I have an idea extensive oncology appointment on Thursday, I may ask them if I am still capped, we’ll talk fasting we always do. OMAD is my auto pilot fast mode - it feels the best for me, but I am enjoying no eating on Fridays at all- it’s effortless to me and that’s really something I didn’t expect.
I love the podcast Intermittent Fasting Stories. One on one interviews mostly with folks - regular people sharing what worked for them, I learned something from almost every one I have listened to. I think I just started to listen to episodes in the 300's. Many are available. I often hear something on it and talk about it with my pcp. It's been great. I listen to them in order. Think they start with episode 2. Tons of tips, tricks shared for sure - and I love hat it's just regular people.
Difficult for me, fortunately, is just a brief wave. Oh, I am hungry, I need to eat passes very quickly for me. I am also fortunate that hunger isn't an emergency for me. I know there is something to eat close by, so I don't have to worry there will be no food. I absolutely realize that's such a life luxury, and since I am fortunate, I can ride out when I'm hungry. I need to eat without acting on it, and it passes very quickly.
I also photograph my fasting timer and my food choices - I use Day One Journal app and it makes it so easy to track health and wellness. My records show exactly what I am doing - and I don't want to have*to memorialize I couldn't say no to a snack, self sabotage got in between me and my goal. That's not cool so I keep on keeping on as healthy as I am able. 2024 is My Year!!
I take a photo just like that and roll on. By this time, they certainly have a way to bridge the gap. Even if they don't, it's still one of my favorite devices, and I just accept this shortcoming.
I OMAD and don’t count calories. I didn’t count calories and no exercise and lost weight. Now I OMAD and exercise (I am getting older so I am working on fitness / cardio/ strength for my geriatric years. I OMAD Monday through Thursday eating at Noon. When I close after lunch - I don’t eat again until Saturday. I track those hours. Saturday - unrestricted day of eating. I eat what I want, when I want- just a day of food. I close whenever. I don’t set a timer. I then have an OMAD on Sunday when the mood strikes to line back up for the OMADs at the office. I set my timer again when I close my window on Sunday (if I remember).
Mine is as big as I want it. I eat pretty clean so with that I just eat how I wish. I don’t count calories I just try and get a variety of foods that genuinely nourish me. I am working on my gut health so my focus has been with that lately. But good food and a lot of it works well for me.
I didn't have any fish this week and I really missing it. Sunday I think I am making Chili Crisp Cod or some salmon not sure which, but certain there will be fish!
I don't get any mileage out of pasta. I love it, but I expect to be hungry quickly after eating it - even with a protein sauce. I don't count calories so I have no idea how many may be there. I would enjoy that meal but I know I would white knuckle until my next one.
If you are eating you are not fasting. Whatever you have to tell yourself to stay within the parameters you have decided work for you, tell yourself. But if you are eating a banana to work out you aren't fasting you are eating.
Yeah, but the benefits are barely there right? its only a 24hour water fast? Ive been doing it for 4weeks now but it helps massive in managing calories but having a banana before a workout would just be nice to have some energy.
What benefits are barely there? The benefits of fasting 24 hours? "It's only a 24 hour water fast"? Plenty of benefits in the 24 hour fast. P L E N T Y - and you get to them by not trying to game the system. Eating is eating is eating. Not eating/drinking - ramping up digestion is fasting.
Look into Jessie Inchauspé she is The Glucose Goddess and she speaks about flattening the curve. Greens and healthy fats will flatten the curve. Food Order does matter. It's very easy to see what she says as it relates to your body is "correct" and backed by science if you do want to verify or see it for yourself with yourself.
I OMAD M-F at work. My window is 12:00 pm, and no matter what, closing by 2:00 pm. If I want fruit or yogurt or oats after my OMAD (Clean food), I am usually closed up 1, but I always give myself until 2, so nothing is forced, and I have time to eat at the pace I want. No crashing - I feel great, leave the office, and head to the gym where I do whatever I have going on there (I am middle-aged, so I am not killing myself at the gym, but I do go daily). Thursday after lunch I then begin an ADF fast where I don't eat until Saturday. On Saturday afternoon I usually eat a Greek salad and a gyro. Hummus and baked pita chips or veg. I eat unrestricted and more than I do through the weekly office OMAD. Saturday is minimally 2 meals ~ anything goes. I do sometimes get sleepy when I eat more. Sunday as well. My OMAD on Sunday is at whatever time - I OMAD Sunday when I food prep to get lined back up for the week at the office and I sometimes get sleepy with Sunday's OMAD as well. For me I do believe it's because I am probably eating more than I need to. I am still trying to find the perfect balance on the Saturday post ADF day. But whole foods, healthy choices, however it plays out, it just does. Throughout the week, I eat a bunch of food on my OMAD, but I am not tired.

Huh... so what do you do? Sounds interesting

Huh... I like that! That's pretty cool. Any advice for 48 hour fasts, o wise OMAD Veteran? Thank you :]

Pi Short for Octopi to always remember how he clung to her on the way home.
There is no such thing as a cheat day in my fasting.

Any particular reason 50 is your cap? I've been doing 18:6 for a while but I'm starting to get very interested in extending.

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad you found something that works. Good luck at your app.

I had to get really honest with myself and decide to start working on a better me because I was sick of the me I was.
That looks really good! I have salmon, Tahini sweet potato, salad and fruit. Out of Kimchi :|

Tilda Swinton or Effie Trinket would be my choices (Tilly and Trinxy for nicks)

I didn't have any type of physical withdrawal when I stopped the processed sugar. Mentally, though, sugar quit whispering sweet nothings.
