[QUOTE="Widgets, post: 2435417, member: 545952"] I've been LCHF since early this summer when I was told that my blood glucose had been creeping up over the last few years and I was now pre-diabetic. I got access to my results via the GP website and yes, they've been going up by just over 1 per year since I went on BP medication a few years ago. I went hard on a low carb. diet and started exercising, and also started 16:8 fasting regime. Increasingly though that 16:8 was stretching to 18:6 or even 20:4. I've lost a fair amount of weight (I had a LOT to lose), but a week or so ago I'd been stalled on the same weight for what felt like forever (really it was about 5 days but, well, brains are weird lumps of tapioca aren't they?), so I thought I'd give OMAD a try. 2 days of OMAD is all it took. I didn't feel hungry at all for more than about 20 minutes at a stretch. I had a standard (new me standard) at tea time (about 7pm) and that's it. Yesterday I had a small lunch and a slightly bigger evening meal and my weight is still going in the right direction. My current plan is to do OMAD at least once a week or so, for a while at least, and see how it goes, with options for more frequently depending on how I feel/how my numbers look. I do so love how supportive and informative this place is. Onward and downwards! [/QUOTE]
