Congrats! I would be so happy with just 46hours :frowning: But I can’t even do 24 (well I actually could do it but I don’t want to eat a ton either).

A carby day almost always results in a very satiated next day in my case… No wonder, bigger meals keep me satiated longer… Carbs makes OMAD super easy too but well, I rather don’t use them.
Strong hunger disappeared when I got fat adapted so that’s never a problem barring extreme circumstances (nothing can make me as hungry as a not good/big enough meal…).

I never need to count carbs, perks of carnivore-ish… :smiley:

It seems today will be 3MAD with a 4-5 hour long eating window. My very hungry days seem to be over and I have this very low-carb thing again where I get hungry in 2 hours after a meal (due to too easy satiation at meals). I hope it will get better eventually. Why I can’t have carni OMAD? Maybe with some extra bites? It sounds perfect for me.
If I forced myself to be hungry, would I get used to it? Oh, doesn’t matter, I never force myself into anything. But I may try a tad harder to skip lunch. I actually needed it today so I don’t have regrets.
Maybe I will lose my patience at some point and stop eating for a while… But my body doesn’t condone that.

I ate at 6:30pm today. Maybe not my best idea. I had zero hunger (I had a tiny before but passed) and a slightly negative appetite, I didn’t feel any need or urge to eat - but it was late, my SO had dinner and my body is unable to do 2 things lately: having a fasting day and eating very late without making a huge mess. So I thought, better now than later.
It was a very forceful meal in my world (just slightly but I am not used to even mild force), I didn’t really enjoy anything (my pancakes were a tad pleasant I suppose), barely registered the taste… I got quite satiated in the beginning. I used ALL my tricks and all items good for making a meal bigger (without going too high with carbs. but I did add some as nothing raises my calories for a meal better than carbs) but I still ate low-calorie.
But it’s over now and it’s an OMAD day. No matter what, I won’t eat at night…

I am so pathetic. But hope for better times! :smiley: At least I did an OMAD day. Yay.

I’ve always found OMAD to be hard. I did it yesterday, but I only do it infrequently. It seems to be too much food in too short of a time period for me.
