Hi everyone, my name is Adriana and I am new to the keto diet! I’ve been doing keto for 5 week now and I need some tips from the oldies about OMAD. Mind that I am just 17.
Thank you so much and sorry for my bad English, I’m Italian.

Hi Adriana and welcome here. There are 1000’s of threads here, you can use the search for anything and probably find something. Here’s what I found:

Ciao Adraina. At risk of telling you things you already know:
Keep net carbs under 20.
~You can likely start a bit higher and work your way down but 20 is a good honest number that will allow you to eat plenty of vegetables along with fat and protein.
Use a carb tracker like cronometer.com
~so you can accurately track your carbs. It tracks many other things but this is the most important
Feed yourself plenty of fat and fairly moderate protein
~These two things are your best friend in regards to keeping hunger and cravings in check. You should not gorge yourself on these things but eat until you are not hungry. It’s very important to not starve yourself, so eat when you are hungry.
Keep your electrolytes up.
~At least 64oz (2liters) of water and 2+ teaspoons of salt per day. We don’t retain either of these very well on a ketogenic diet and those two things are paramount for reducing/preventing the Keto Flu
Don’t stress and get plenty of sleep.
~Growing, healing and losing weight work best when we are relaxed. So try to get 7-9 hours per day and don’t obsess with what keto is not yet doing.

Benvenuta, Adriana!
You’ve gotten some wonderful general tips but I wanted to say something about OMAD: it can be a fantastic tool but for it’s not always a good idea for the long-term since it can slow down your metabolism. Are you where you want to be with weight and metabolic health? And did you want to do it every day or just once or twice/week?

If you are already eating a well-formulated ketogenic diet and eating once a day comes naturally, that’s all well and good, but don’t try to force it. Better to eat when hungry and not eat when not hungry.
At seventeen, have you finished growing yet? If you are still growing, hunger may prevent you from eating only one meal a day, and if so, that is fine. Your body also needs lots of protein during the growth spurt, so be sure to get plenty, while keeping the carbohydrate low, and you’ll be fine.

I still have to loose some weight, maybe 16/17kg (about 37lbs).
I’m alredy forced to skip a couple of meals every week because I’m too busy with school so I was thinking about doing OMAD every day basically. Would it be a good idea?
My metabolism is awfully slow btw.

ok, so I wouldn’t do OMAD long term if I were you. There’s a danger it will further slow down your metabolism. Can you mix it up? Most days TMAD with plenty of good food, a few days of OMAD here and there. If you alternate them, it’s basically alternate-day fasting (ADF), because you end up with an eating day, a 24-ish hour fast, then another eating day, etc. Many people have great results with ADF.
I don’t have time to look it up now, but there are some good podcasts with Megan Ramos in which she describes a feasting/fasting cycle. She’s probably fasted more people than just about anyone, and I trust her advice.
