What Is OMAD
O.M.A.D. stands for One Meal A Day.
Believe it or not, IF you eat healthier food - like organics - then most people can easily survive on just One decent meal a day.
OMAD is basically where you DO NOT eat for 20 - 23 hours a day and then you DO EAT within a 1 - 4 hour window.
Some people eat "once" within that 4 hours and some people eat multiple times.
Some people eat smart food.
But many others do not. They eat junk food and sugar.
Anything with sugar or processed carbs is detrimental to your long term health, especially if you do not exercise every day.
Processed carbs includes, anything with flour including bread, pasta, noodles etc.
High carb foods like potatoes, rice etc are also bad as these also spike your blood sugar level.
SUGAR: Anything with sugar is bad. Most processed foods contain sugar - in one form or another (like HFCS, CS etc) - even ketchup.
Sugar has been shown to deplete Minerals from the body and brain.

NOTE:
You should be in good health before you start OMAD.

Some Tips
Here are a few tips that I have learned:
Since you are literally saving money by not buying 3 or 4 meals a day and also not buying junk food meals in between your main meals, please consider the following suggestions.
- Buy Organic food.
- Eat 2 medium sized meals within your 4 hour "eating" window approx 2 or 3 hours apart.
- Drink juiced fruit or vegetables with your meals (instead of water) so that you maximize your nutritional intake.
- IMPORTANT - Make large amounts of "Mixed" Fermented vegetables and eat at least 1 breakfast bowl of these with each meal you have. - This will help you lose weight, become healthier and also help increase your brain functionality. Books like "Wild Fermentation"
by Sandor Katz come highly recommended if you want to know how to ferment vegetables.
- CARRY a few "Emergency Only" Glucose tablets on you in a sealable plastic bag so that IF you need a sugar "fix", you have one readily available. This should be for emergency use only and not something you take "for fun" or any other reason.
- Focus on your goal and keep a diary so that you can see "if" you make mistakes and avoid them next time.
