75+ days of OMAD:

222 ⇢ 182

Plan is to get through mid-September and then reevaluate, but super close to my original goal of 100+ days.

Congrats! You can absolutely get there, man. Once I knew the linear model was around 0.4 lbs per day loss, it was just a matter of plotting out the timeline. Keep it up!

This is great! I’ve been skipping breakfast and I’m 241 -> 219

Next step is getting to 180’s

I’ve been thinking about OMAD

Building nefer.ai - one 📨 in your inbox every day. Saving you 60 minutes atleast. 

Good question. It was actually pretty easy early on (willpower was at its highest). I’d say Day 40ish was much tougher. If I was absolutely dying of hunger, water + 1g glutamine kept me going. Most of the time black coffee or sparkling water is enough.

Family dinner is important in our house, so 6:30PM.

How did you manage hunger during the initial days? And when do you have your meal everyday?

congrats! Huge milestone! Do you have energy level drops / have you found caffeine helpful?

I’d say I’m at around 1,400 calories a day. I’ve been militant strict on “just one plate” for dinner (my way of internalizing no 2nds or dessert).

Glutamine helps with moderate cravings. Nothing but time and going for a walk helps with stronger ones.

Should be passing 180 here this weekend!

what’s your calorie intake for this meal? I’ve always wanted to try this but can’t eat enough in that one meal to sustain and end up feeling very lethargic.

Nice job! Fasting helped me appreciate the joy of eating. There’s lots of metabolic and health benefits, but understanding that eating is psychological was an aha moment that I wouldn’t have grasped without actually fasting

would be cool to see a "free time" chart. main reason i love intermittent fasting/OMAD is just the hours you save
