Hello! I’ve lost 36 lbs utilizing OMAD over the course of 2 1/2 months back in 2018. I was at 19% BF when I started but got down to 13-14%. However, after going back to CICO with moderate exercise, I gained weight and am now heavier than when I first started fasting.
Has this ever happened to anyone?
Today, was the first day that I gave fasted for a 24 hr period and I feel great 👍🏽
OMAD will lower the metabolism as your body isnt needing to process food as frequently, along with the lower metabolism as we get to lower weights, so the big question here would be if youre actually eating the calories that you need now (/needed at your weight & metabolism after fasting) , and not the calories that your previous weight needed. I feel like most of us, myself included, accidently eat more than we need because the amount of food we need really isnt anywhere near as much as we assume it is.
I dont mean to sound rude here but its just to assess the situation- you say you got to heavier than when you started, so it makes me feel that because you started gaining weight, even that first 10lbs or so, and at that stage you didnt address it nor lower calories before it got higher and higher, there may be a bad relationship with food here or a lack of calorie intake awareness
