Hi everyone, I’ve been reading the blogs on Keto and low carb diets. I’ve tried keto for a week and felt great a fret the first couple of days, no heartburn ,no headaches, not bloated. Life savers are peanut butter and baby belles (mini Edam cheese).Can someone tell me what OMAD means please? I saw it on a thread and can work out what it is!
Thanks G

Glad to know it is going well so far.

One Meal A Day (OMAD) is a form of fasting. You effectively fast for about 23 hours in a 24 hour period.

It can help to know which part of the day your natural insulin is most effective.
I find that my BG rises in the morning whatever I do but I get a better insulin response in the afternoon.

Thanks for your reply little grey cat . It sounds quite a scary thing to do OMDA! I’m 67 and feel like I’ve had reactive hypoglycaemia since puberty! I was a very fussy eater as a child and lived on sweets when I could get the money ! Have been on the LCHF diet for 3 weeks and love the way I feel now, am losing weight and not getting ravenously hungry anymore , I used to carry biscuits and glucose tablets in my handbag now it’s nuts and cheese and I feel more relaxed as I used to panic about getting low blood sugar then if I didn’t eat something sweet I’d get a migraine.
