I am doing low carb plus intermittent fasting one meal a day. (OMAD). I strive to keep my carbs as low as possible and I only eat 1 meal a day within a one hour time frame. After the first couple of days I am never hungry, and sometimes I eat just because I know it has been more than 24 hours and I know I need the nutrition to make it to the next day. I am comfortably full at the end of the meal, no counting calories, and eat until I am satisfied. One of the problems I had, which is a small one, is eating enough calories in just one meal without feeling uncomfortably full. I solved this by eating calorie dense food (lots of fat), and eating half of my meal, waiting 20 to 30 minutes, then eating the other half. This way of eating has been life-changing! No more food obsession, no more snacking, eating in the car, or fast food. I save enough money by eating one meal a day that I can afford to eat really good food, such as steak, scallops, shrimp, etc. I no longer eat mindlessly. I wait until I have the time to sit down and actually take my time and enjoy my meal, rather than wasting my one meal a day eating something I wouldn't enjoy. I have been solidly in ketosis ever since I have started. The one time I ate off plan was a really good Thai dinner and since I stuck to my intermittent fasting, OMAD, plan, I didn't even get out of ketosis by eating pad thai. This has been the easiest plan I have ever been on, and by only eating one meal a day, has allowed me the flexibility to eat with friends or family by planning my timing around their schedules. Belly fat has decreased dramatically in a short time, and I have more energy. Coming from a long history of eating disorders and food obsession, I can't stress how much this plan has helped me.
