It's been a month since I began only eating one meal a day, and I thought I'd share my weight changes
Week 0: gained 6 lbs (this inspired me to only eat one meal a day)
Week 1: lost 9 lbs.
Week 2: lost 6 lbs
Week 3. gained 3 lbs
Week 4: lost 10 lbs
I think week 3 was water weight. I'm not sure what to do. I could buy water pills or just accept that I might gain weight once in a while but that it will probably reverse by the next week and it will all average out in the end and not sweat it.
@Tfmonkey I've been inconsistently doing OMAD for the past 2 months and I still managed to go from 105 kg (231 lbs) to the low 93 kg (205 lbs) where I'm currently standing.
But it'd be a lie not mentioning my efforts to go to the gym nearly everyday for now 80 days. It's become easier to add both fasting and exercise in my routine since I've been working full time. Prior to that, I freshly graduated but wasn't employed for 6 months. My weight skyrocketed at that point.
@Wopu I work out 3X a week, but I've never been a gym rat.
You have to find what combination of diet and exercise works for you.
@Tfmonkey I don't recommend going there everyday, especially if you have a busy schedule and can build the willpower to go back to exercising after a few days or weeks of not doing so.
I'm afraid I easily go off rails and it cost me 2 months of hypertrophy progress. Knowing yourself is part of the process and it takes experimenting to learn what you need to know.
