 Still doing omad since this post. Reduced from 9oz steak to 6oz and now i’m down from 215lbs to 199lbs. Not bad for 2 months? nostr:note19wpttcx8xahdfcxcxfjldwrgwk0ue75p9ekgy749ksg0u6yn9pnschy8qc 
 Well done 
 I am hoping like medium rare at most :D 
 Who’d have thought? 😁 Nice work! 
 Way to go!! Reducing how many ounces of steak I would consume sounds tough but making your one meal a day to be steak is a win in my books!! Keep crushing your goals!  💪 
 Why starve yourself?  
 Still, I am happy for you and hope you feel better.

I cerntainly do since loosing weight.  
 I feel better every day when i do? 
 Weight loss is easy when you eat real food and nothing else. Awesome progress, nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqcu9929! 👊🥩

 Are you measuring your muscle and fat mass accurately? My main concern would be muscle loss. 
 since i’m not spending lots of time weight training atm and was gaining weight this was best for me at this time. I will likely switch it up when I start weight training again. 
 Not enough need moar steak! 
 What are you eating in addition to the steak? Can’t imagine the steak by itself is more than 600 calories or so 
 steak and lobster or steak and sushi 
 Fasting is great even if you are weight training. It’s a myth that it burns muscle. Dr. Jason Fung is the man on this topic highly recommend his book and yt channel 
 Yeah so far its only burned fat off my dadbod 
 Yep, big difference between fasting and prolonged starvation where actual muscle is broken down as a fuel source. 
 In order for your body to burn muscle it would have to be a ridiculously long amount of days. Dr. Fung said it best, if you have no heat in your house and needed to keep warm you wouldnt start with burning your fancy couch would you? 
 Yep. Talking to a biologist here. Well aware of the extreme conditions before the human body utilises muscle as fuel. Think POW / concentration camps… 
 Exactly, pretty extreme. If you’re pushing 200lbs a 3 day fast would still be a good idea for burning fat, throw in weights and you’re also building muscle 
 Keep going! I’m 6ft 160lbs and love fasting and doing kettlebells every week. You’re barely getting started 
 All right. This  is what I need to do. I'm in... Starting  tomorrow 🟢 
 How many calories are you eating per day? 
 Congrats, I'm glad you found something that works for you. Low carb allowed me to continue eating three meals a day with the same effect. 🤝 
 I have been doing it for long. It will not only keep you lean but also healthy overall.  I have noticed that it is very easy to do if we eat our only meal around noon time and develop a habit of sleeping early. with this, by the time you feel hungry, it is time to sleep. walking along with omad is awesome 
 Indeed, i eat around 1500 to 1700 
 Doing great!

I think it matters mostly that you are actively working a diet, which means you are much more aware of what's going in so by that measure most diets will work in any case because of discipline and motivation.

I always follow the diet i am on (whole food keto with 16/8 intermittent fasting) and sometimes i can do this for a month without interruptions so that there are no regrets if i do step aside from it for a few days. I may gain a little but i will naturally go back into the diet and it keeps my weight ideal and my energy levels high.
 
 Well done! I love food way too much to do omad but twice a day works for me 
 Are you seriously only eating a 6 ounce steak per day?

If so, your 10k walks would be applying more energy than the steak as input. You should also be losing 3-4 pounds a week.
