Hey people,
Basically for 4 months I’ve been doing a 8/16 or 16/8 fasting combined with lets call it semi-keto.
I eat breakfast around midday which is ususlly eggs, mushrooms and some light meat
Dinner I eat before 8 and is usually a pile of greenery and meat
I’ve lost a stone feel a bit better and so on.
As I’m working from home and have the social life of a cave dweller, I feel I’m flat lining a bit both in weight loss and energy.
I’m looking into doing a one meal a day run, for the month of March, to see how that goes/feels etc
What I’m looking for is, some advise how big that meal should be, what it should consist of *baring in mind I do not eat most carbs(bread, potatoes, pasta, rice) and at what time of day I should consume it ?
My cheat code is coffee and will remain so.
I also think a multivitamin would be advantageous here?
Thanks in advance.
Vitamins are good, so is flaxseed oil (the oil, not the pills) to ensure good nutrition.
For energy, you probably are not eating enough. Normally there are three meals in a day, with OMAD there is one. If you are eating maintenance, 66% of your calories come from burning fat. But maintenance can suck; if you eat meal and a half you are still getting 50% of your calories from fat. Heck have a double plate and you are still pulling 33% from fat. That is still not shabby at all.
Eat clean, eat more, exercise, and focus on this being easy and sustainable. The process slows down but marches on; don’t be in a hurry. Water will bounce around, don’t worry about it.
