Hey everyone,

Today is Wednesday, and for quite a while, I had been pondering of creating mid-week an inspiring one for the readers. I had been attempting to make Wednesday’s post different for you all; finally, today, here I’m with my desired post series. I’ll share a weight reduction journey of a really dear friend, a girl in her mid-fifties who had been pretty frustrated seeing the weighing scale not moving even a bit. I want to introduce this woman who has long been suffering as a result of autoimmune disease and obesity. I had been attempting to help her together with her various issues and had given up at one cut-off date. Yesterday, I received a call from her, and she or he was beaming with joy to inform me that she had finally begun to drop a few pounds. Wow! This was the happiest news for me as I used to be really pained by her plight. My friend (Name to not be disclosed as promised) had been doing every part to drop a few pounds but was finding it very demotivating when even after regular walks each day, she was not capable of see the dimensions budging. I had been suggesting that perhaps her calorie intake was greater than what she was burning, but her food log was telling a special story. She was not eating much, and her intake was not exceeding 1100 calories. She had promised me that the day she began to drop a few pounds again, she would let me share her weight reduction journey on IWB.

So dear readers, here I’m with a series of posts every Wednesday evening that may record my friend’s (Let me call her Sugandha here as that’s my favorite name) health and weight reduction journey and encourage many more of us who’re on the lookout for some light at the top of the tunnel.

To start with the story…..

Sugandha had touched 99.6 kg one 12 months back and was under duress due to her joint pains brought on by autoimmune disease. She was going for at least 30-45 minutes walk 4 times per week. Though she desired to do all of it seven days, her low energy levels made it difficult for her to achieve this. After attempting to do various restrictive diets like egg food plan, Keto, no fat, high fat, low carb, etc, she did not drop a few pounds because it was difficult for her to remain satisfied with what she was eating. Being a foodie, doing these restrictive diets was tough. When she did not proceed, it affected her mental health, and she or he found her eating all of the banned foods in double the amount.

Then someday, when she called me to discuss her issues, we decided to try OMAD, aka One meal a day. She took a while to get used to the concept, after which got here the Sawan month. Sugandha fasted on Mondays and liked the concept of eating all types of food once a day without punishing her taste buds. That was the sport changer for her. In a single week, Sugandha was 95.65 kg.

She was comfortable, so she sent me this picture of her weighing scale.

How is she doing it?

Hope you all know that OMAD stands for One Meal A Day. There are a lot of individuals who have began eating this fashion and have lost weight. The fundamental reason is that not everyone requires a normal calorie consumption.

What must you do to remain healthy?

All the flamboyant diets are nothing but temporary quick fixes but OMAD is an old Indian concept. For ages, Indians had been eating either twice or once a day and so they felt agile in addition to energetic enough to maintain working hard all through the day. OMAD can have various advantages from weight reduction to higher energy levels nevertheless it might take you some determination to get used to this fashion of eating.

When you want to drop a few pounds and have issues together with your joints, try a nature walk within the morning, do some meditation, and take an Epsom salt bath. Do plenty of stretching should you are above 55 and eventually get used to eating your heart full in that one meal you select to take. Simply to assist you to out, Sugandha, my friend is having one healthful meal during lunchtime.

One other rule for shedding weight with OMAD is to maintain yourself well hydrated throughout the day. Drink a glass of buttermilk, and sleep well for 7 to eight hours.

Avoid packaged juices and focus more on eating whole fruits as you would like the fiber to your digestive system to work well with OMAD optimally.
