Hi everyone, after losing 118 lb total from a combination of OMAD and ADF over the course of a year, I fell off the wagon during the holidays. I am shocked to find out that I have gained 30lbs during this time! I am back to fasting as of a couple of days ago. Any advice on how to not fall off the wagon this badly next time?

Holidays are overrated and everyone’s depressed and enabling each other to drink and eat more. Avoid the parties, however if you go save all your calories for that night and hit the veggie tray hard. Otherwise plan your fasting around the parties. Stay lonely, it’s the only way.
I would imagine after you gained 10 pounds, at your height, it was pretty obvious (clothes not fitting etc.)
Buy only clothes that fit when you get down to your ideal weight…then, if they ever start not to fit immediately start a prolonged fast…
