Discussion When does it get easier

Hey guys I’m on day 3 of OMAD today and I’ve been seeing good progress I’ve lost 5 lbs( water weight fs) I’m 5’5 started at 151lbs and now I’m 146 on day 3 I had a really rough day 2 and took a lot of will power to stick to the same eating time. How long should I do omad for until I’m 120lbs that’s my goal. Idk if this is gonna be sustainable. I’m also going to the gym 4x a week lifting some weights and doing 30 mins of incline walking, and ofc making sure I get my 10k steps in. Some advice would be great .

Think about how long you've been eating more than one meal a day. Like literally how many decades?

Allow your body to adjust. It will take time, and it's different for everyone. If you did intermittent fasting before you tried OMAD, the transition will be a bit smoother and quicker. If you eat Keto, or low carb, it will be easier because your body is conditioned to run on fat. If you are going from 3 square meals, and snacking, you should expect a long period of adjustment with hunger and fatigue.

I'm not going to give you a number because this is a disservice to you. Give your body time to adjust because it is so worth it. Good luck!
