Omad - Tumblr Posts
A couple of months ago, I fasted for 10 days straight. No food at all. Only water, some lime juice, and salt. I've lost 7 kg, and I was so focused and energized. I felt cleansed. I was also walking a lot by that time. I was gonna go on for 15 days, but I didn't want to push so hard. I've checked my blood results, vitamins & minerals, etc. Everything was normal.
I've gained so much weight over the last months, so I'm going to be fasting for 10 days again. And then gonna eat only one meal a day. I was eating one meal a day but I am in another country now. I've read lots of articles about it and experimented OMAD for couple months and find the balance like in weekdays, only 1 meal a day and at the weekends 2 meals a day would be much optimal for my health. It's called the 5/2 system.
I like to fast for 20 hours daily and give myself 4 hour feeding window, but I don't think it's enough, so I'm going to give myself 6 to 8 hours feeding window.
The best thing about OMAD is that I'm saving so much time from grocery shopping, cooking, and money. I don't like to eat out that much because I'd like to know what's inside of my food. But when I do wanna eat out I can go to the best places and enjoy my meal.
I'm always trying to use the best quality ingredients for what I'm eating. It's costly, but it's one of the best investments I can ever make for my life.
The mental clarity and resilience I get from this practice is huge. People are like;"Oh, I'm hungry. I'm gonna die!" No, you won't. I know for a fact that I can even go without food for 30-45 days and won't die.(It depends on your body index), I just need water to survive and even for water I can go without up to 3 days or more. I don't crave food anymore. It's just giving me energy, of course I like to eat but it's not so important.
Also, when I don't eat for a long time, I'm looking forward to eating, and every bite I take feels special and more delicious. I mean, thousands of years ago, food was not so abundant like it did now. Our ancestors were not feeding themselves every couple of hours, so I think fasting is really good. If done in a healthy way, of course.
Today I'm gonna start Omad.School starts in less than 2 months and I wanna lose at least 10kg before.
Todays meal is a green peas salad,the bowl is very small so I can eat less 😋
She's my body goal not too skinny but having a little thigh gap is really cute💕
Yesterday's meal I finally ate twice because I was forced to but it was the same quantity so it's okey I guess.
I realized that doing omad in summer break is impossible to me so I'm just gonna ate 2 small meals when I am forced to and the rest of the time omad.
I will start a serious omad and water fasting when school starts,in less than 2 months.
I hope when school starts I will be able to dress this way without feeling ashamed of my body.
i had a white chocolate latte as my omad and it was so filling, delicious, and beautiful. 💭
(i usually only drink coffee with half & half)
Hey lovelies, just asking for some general advice/tips. I basically need to lose 2lb a day. I’m great with my workouts and walks but I can’t decide if 100%fasting is the best option or fasting maybe 2 /3 days in a row then eating low cal fruit/veg, then repeat or ?? If I’ve got it straight in my head I’m disciplined enough to stick with it. I’m just not sure, I know everyone’s different but I’d really appreciate any opinions or guidance🩷🩷🩷
