Oddbean new post about login | logout Wait - hang on. You didn't lose ANY of your excess pounds? (or you just didn't lose all of them?) Another vote for carnivore. One of the main reasons I'm trying it is because I love the benefits of fasting, and for many people fasting seems to be quite different on carnivore.
I cannot in all honesty say I didn't lose any. But I didn't lose close to any of the weight I expected to lose. Which is surprising since in the past I did get to my goal weight after a 2 week fast. I guess there are diminishing returns to fasting. I was convinced it would work because I saw a documentary about a fasting clinic in Europe where an overweight woman fasted a month and lost all excess weight. It should've worked 🤷♀️
I imagine it depends on so many different factors. I tried longer fasts (for health rather than weight loss), and I loved how I felt during the fasts themselves but then afterwards my hunger signals were often messed up for over a week. I'll try again once I'm more settled with carnivore. Do you use intermittent fasting? I don't hear the same dramatic health results but I think they probably accumulate, and a lot of people use it for weight loss.
I am on OMAD daily. OMAD stands for One Meal A Day. It also referred to as the Warrior Diet because it is a 23 hour fast, 1 hour to eat your meal. Yes, I am desperately seeking thinness 🙄
OMAD can be great! Once I can eat enough in one sitting I hope to move to that. How is it going so far?
It works ;)
