March OMAD Journal

Giving this online journal thing a go. I’ve been doing OMAD for two weeks now and the hardest parts:
Weekends with the family at home.
Breaking fasts on junk at work
I am 100% addicted to sugar.

But I managed the first two weeks with determination and now suddenly it’s like a switch flipped and the struggle is real!!

Day 2. Made it through the day yesterday even with attempting to sabotage myself by asking a girl for lunch. Luckily she already had plans which forced me to go to the gym instead. But when I got home, I was so hungry I ate as much as I could and felt awful after. Even feel like I’m paying for it this morning. Fasting OMAD today, hopefully it’s easier today.

If you are addicted to sugar, the struggle will be real every time you start to withdraw, which will happen within hours of not eating. You will have a sugar crash and feel shaky and your body will scream for something to eat that has sugar in it.

I’m not sure then… I just know that I get headachy and fuzzy and I feel weak. I do crave food sometimes it’s a meat craving and sometimes it’s for something sweet. whether it’s fruit or actual candy. It’s infuriating.

Thanks for the explanation tho :smiley::facepunch:

Day 6 evening. Suddenly feeling terribly hungry from 4pm. Donno why! There was supposed to be no hunger today. Did I do something wrong ?

No. Ghrelin “the hunger hormone” production spikes during your regular meal times. The spikes get smaller and smaller as you get deeper into your fast. Just stick to the process.
