I posted a video last month about my 60 day journey with Intermittent Fasting and eating One Meal A Day (OMAD). I got tons of messages asking me what I eat so I wanted to put together this video to help people understand how much food is required in order to eat only meal a day. Most people think that the reason why I lost weight is due to lowering my calorie intake but that is far from the truth. The reason why I have lost so much weight is because I fast for 23 hours a day. When you fast, your insulin glucose drops and your body will burn its stored fat as energy. I eat my one and only meal every day at 2pm. 5 of those days are at my restaurant, Monarch 9 Café in Yorba Linda, CA where I eat the same thing; a bowl of filet mignon pho (with cabbage instead of noodles), a salad with either grilled lemon grass pork, shaken beef or steamed ginger chicken. I also always have a bowl of oatmeal (with almond milk) and fruits and 1 cup of nuts. I used to take tons of supplements (protein powder, glucosamine, chondroitin, creatine, glutamine, zink, magnesium, fish oil, etc) I no longer take and supplements. I now get all my nutrients in my food. I get all my carbs from vegetables, my protein from my meats and my fats from nuts. I started Intermittent Fasting on July 15, 2017 at 176 pounds. I had a goal to get and STAY under 160 pounds. I have tried every diet out there and always lost weight initially but I was never able to sustain my weight. I was expecting it would take me 2-3 months to get under 160 pounds but I was actually able to get to 159 pounds on the 30th day. For those that know me, when I do something I dont do it half assed, I always go all in, so after hitting my goal weight in 30 days I decided to push myself even harder and start eating only One Meal A Day (OMAD). I have been on OMAD for over 60 days now and I feel amazing. I am now down to 148 pounds (I have been between 147-149 pounds for the past 2 weeks). I tried my best to stay above 150 but was unable to. I wish I would have measured my fat loss. As you will see in the pictures I lost more weight faster during the first 4 weeks eating 2 meals a day. I was losing between 4-5 pounds a week eating 2 meals a day then started losing between 1-3 pounds a week when I started only eating One Meal A Day. Based on the pictures I looked more shredded when I started OMAD. I think I wasnt losing as much weight doing OMAD but looked leaner because I was still losing fat but I was gaining more muscle mass therefore my weight wasn’t dropping as much. I have found out that while fasting my body will produce more HGH (Human Growth Hormone). The longer the periods of fasting, the more HGH is produced. This made sense since I had way more energy and felt way stronger when I was only eating One Meal A Day. I hope this video helps you out in any way. If you are struggling with trying to lose fat I highly recommend you try Intermittent Fasting. Since making this video I recently signed up on Instagram (June 2018) you can follow my journey there as well.
