I realised that I have gained a lot of weight recently and wanted to do something about it. I have some small back issue so can’t work out a lot. Tried intermittent fasting with 16:8 and lost some 2.5 kgs with just that and cutting heavily on sugar.
I want to reduce more, so for last one week, I am only eating lunch (2 eggs, 4 rotis with ghee and one vegetable)
Internet has mixed opinions on this. Talked to one healthifyme nutritionist but their agenda was to sell me something than actual suggestions.
Want to understand from this community, if you folks have done something like this and how good/bad could it be.
1st get a full body checkup up done.
You will miss nutrition if u follow above routine. Include dal and more protein source + roughage
OMAD is notoriously difficult to sustain. It also isn't advisable because you will run a substantial nutrient deficit very quickly. This results in long term damage including muscle atrophy amongst other things.
Your weight will also yo-yo depending on when you stop.
Please consult a nutritionist and engage a fitness trainer.
You need to do both - increase your BMR and optimise food intake.
If you’re looking for a sustainable option, definitely not the way to go. As someone who didn’t have meals on time for a long period and struggling with gastritis now, take it from me. Please please eat! Develop a healthy relationship with food. I really can’t stress this enough.
What worked for me is calorie deficit (high protein, medium carb and fat), clocking ~10k steps a day, lifting thrice a week and getting enough sleep. I lost 4kg in two months. In your case, if you can’t work out, even mild moving everyday will work.
Use tdeecalculator to find your calorie needs and find the calories you need under cutting. Use Myfitnesspal and track your calories diligently. I’ve even gone back to my maintenance calories now and increased workout as I found it hard to be in deficit for more than two months.
Don’t try to find an easy way to lose weight and let other aspects of your health suffer.
Thanks for the detailed response. Realised that this might not be a sustainable way
Man don't do that I did that in July which resulted in massive hairfall. Instead increase your workouts.

I feel my gut collapsed due to the foods (recent changes) I consume, whatever. I was thinking to do intermittent fasting for 21 days Can anyone who achieved/participated, suggest me the entire plan, what to look for during the process, o...
