I think it is a mental attitude thing. The more you do OMAD the easier it is not to over eat, although I think I still consume too much, it's just I have started to cut back. Tonight after the Bolognese I had my usual type of dessert of a sizable amount of 7 types of home roasted 3 spiced nuts. This is an actual reduction as I usually have nuts, berries and yogurt. I am now trying to keep berries and yogurt to my 2 meal days and only circa 11.00 after a 16 hour intermittent fast.I'm curious about OMAD. Don't you end up eating one huge meal, which spikes your bg? The great Dr B says that if you eat enough even of sawdust it will spike you.
This is my second day in a row on this protocol (and will do Wednesday as well, for the rest of the week 2 meals). Below is how my day has gone in relation to OMAD:
FBG 4.5 @ 06.57 - rooibos tea
Fresh hot lemon
Fresh brew black coffee
Gym: Fight Klub HiiT workout (class of around 15)

Work (from gym)
Mixed personal workout of Karate, free weights and equipment

Home:
BG: 4.4 @ 16:15 (last week without the exercise 3.8)
OMAD: Bolognese / cauli-rice followed by substantive amount of nuts
Walton on the Naze:
Walking: Still walking too fast to be in FAT burning zone, I did not have 2kg ankle weights tonight so missed 1000 cal burn ( I take the opportunity whilst daughter dances for 2 hours to do the walk on the sea front)

Home @ 19:30:
rooibos tea
I feel great satisfaction being able to do 2 workouts fasted and still feeling great and not hungry (next week I will aim to burn a 1000 calories fasted over 2 or 3 sessions). I am not sure about the spike, I tend to not go over 6.5 (I do know my eating habits around my last meal have kept my BG around 5.5 for long periods increasing my HbA1c is higher than it should be, hence the removal now of fruit in the evening). You have pricked my curiosity, so I will order another Libre patch to get a better picture of what happens next week. I bottled out of posting a public challenge to myself on this forum but have been working on project 6 pack, which may not be attainable but I am giving myself 6 months.
