Those who consistently do OMAD, how do you make sure to keep your body nourished?

Do you take vitamins/supplements to help or just make sure to eat a balanced meal?

I do 2 meals and fast for 16 hrs but I worry my bodies not getting all the nutrients it needs.

Answer

When I OMAD, I just make sure to get a lot of quality food, especially the protein. It’s a big ass meal. The most important thing seems to be electrolytes during the fasting window.

Lately I’ve been only doing OMAD a couple times a week. For a while I was only OMAD for like most of a year. Anymore, I try to be more intuitive. If my body wants breakfast I eat breakfast. If my body wants lunch I eat lunch. If my body is cool without food, I just do the one meal.

Answer

Just because you’re OMAD doesn’t mean you can’t eat enough. I’ve been OMAD since 2019, reached my goal in early 2020.

Now I just keep an eye on the scale and modulate the amount that I eat to maintain.

Sometimes switch to 16/8 or 18/6 if I need more.

Also, work out at gym, run, walk, ride bicycle.

Edit. You can also change what you eat. During weightloss I stayed strict low carb, now during maintenence I sometimes do carb things, this week it was full on Lasagne for OMAD and yeah with garlic bread. Not an everyday thing though.

Answer

I feel much more nourished and full of energy and health eating this way. Don’t forget that the body also SPENDS a lot of resources each time you eat. Vitamins in particular iirc. So I worry less about that now. (Still take zinc, and make sure to top up my vitamin D monthly when it is not summer.)
