What is going on Ivor here so today we have a gentleman who stated on who states on TikTok
that he tried one meal a day for a week and this is what happened. Well let's take a look
at what happened because I'm very curious. These TikTok videos are uh are interesting.
All right here we go. I tried the OMAD diet for a week. This is when you fast for 23 hours and
The best part of this challenge is that every time I ate I was literally eating whatever I
wanted in huge ass portions. Pasta, rice, noodles, you name it I was eating it. And the hardest part
of the challenge was around noon when I started to get very hungry. After about a week I weighed
in at 74.9 kilograms. Almost a full kilogram lost in a week. I tried the OMAD diet for a week. This
is when you fast for 23 hours and eat for one hour with the goal of losing weight. I started
this challenge weighing in at 75.7 kilos. The best part of this challenge is that every time
I ate I was literally eating whatever I wanted in huge ass portions. Pasta, rice, noodles,
you name it I was eating it. And the hardest part of the challenge was around noon when I
started to get very hungry. After about a week I weighed in at 74.9 kilograms. Almost a full kilogram
lost in a week. I tried the OMAD diet for a week. This is when you fast for 23 hours and
eat for one hour with the goal of losing weight. I started this challenge weighing in at 75.7.
I started at 166.89 pounds and ended at 165.126 pounds. So he basically lost
essentially about a pound of weight. I wish I knew his height to see where he is because even
where it ended where we see his body here he looks already to be, he's clearly not an overweight
individual. He looks to be pretty set or pretty good in his body weight. Not to say that he's
muscular or anything like that but he's definitely not overweight. He looks to be fine, normal size.
So he lost one pound trying OMAD on the first day. One of the things that are tricky about this
is if he's already this this small of course for example somebody else might try one meal a day for
the first week and lose six pounds right. When I did the warrior diet my first week I lost six
pounds the first week I ever did the warrior diet. But some people might you know do it and already
be somewhat lean or not overweight around 11 or 12 percent body fat which he appears to be around
14 percent body fat. So he probably was already somewhat lean so it's not gonna be it's not gonna
be so impactful for him to to lose weight. One thing that he is getting out of it though is
that he's enjoying the experience because he likes the fact that he gets to eat this like
large amount large amounts of foods or large amount of food in a single sitting which is a
benefit to intermittent fasting right or to one meal a day is when you fast you get to when you
do a regimen of intermittent fasting it's not just about fasting it's also about eating and what
happens when you eat is that you get to eat large portions in a small in a single like like in a
single setting basically. There are limitations to intermittent fasting a lot of people think
that intermittent fasting is perfect especially because you know this channel is basically built
on intermittent fasting information people think that intermittent fasting is just the be all and
all that does everything but there are limitations to intermittent fasting and one of the limitations
is protein synthesis right and the protein can only be absorbed in uh sorry about that protein
can only be absorbed in in such a small amount uh per uh you know per sitting right um you can't
absorb all your protein in one meal so I would recommend if you are building muscle or anything
like that if your if your focus is muscle building to kind of step away from intermittent fasting
just for a little bit to to focus on building your muscle and then step back into intermittent
fasting when you decide to uh to uh reduce your weight or reduce your body fat percentage kudos
to him um it's impossible to know what what that pound of weight loss was was it water weight a lot
of times it is but it all depends on if he's already been losing weight he could have already
been losing weight and decided to switch to something else that he feels more comfortable
doing and that more comfortable thing could have been one meal a day um he could have just
not been trying to lose weight and all of a sudden he he did one meal a day and he his first week was
uh was a really good week for him um it's hard to know he's not really giving us all
of that information it's kind of up in the air with this video uh why why why is there
okay anyways um so let me know what you guys think this was a cool video uh go ahead and
