Hi everyone: It's day 180 of omad! I am at my 6-month intermittent fasting milestone and I feel great! I have tons of energy.
Just to give a recap! I started my journey on July 17, 2017, and I basically wanted to lose weight. Years ago I did the restrictive, low-fat diets. I lost weight but I would gain it back and more. I had basically given up. I stopped trying to lose weight.
Last summer I noticed that the clothes that had fit me so comfortably were starting to get really tight. One of my biggest mistakes was...I got very comfortable. I wore legging most of the time so the leggings grew with me. I made a decision that would change my life. I decided that I was going to change. I wanted to make a change for my health and self-esteem. I started with drinking a gallon of water a day and I did some challenges which I enjoyed. Then one of my youtube subscribers asked me if I had ever seen any weight loss results from using black seed oil. Some months back I had posted a video testimonial about my year of taking black seed oil and what it had done for me. You can view the video here.
At the beginning of the journey, I was so scared to weight myself. So I didn't. That is a regret. I wish I had also taken more pictures. When my size 14 jeans started to get loose, I finally had the courage to weight myself. 167 the scale showed. I instantly snapped a pic and thought...wow I weighted 170 when I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter. Seeing the number motivated me to continue.
Continuing with black seed oil, omad, keto and with minimum exercise. I reached my goal weight 3 months later. At the time I was fine with 135 pounds (October 17, 2017), I am now at my new goal weight of 130 pounds. I have learned that once an intention is set. Anything is possible. There is not one way of achieving a goal. I combined quite a few different methods and they worked for me. When I started... it was to lose weight at any cost. Then it was all of nothing. Now it’s about balance, me eating nutrient density foods for my omad, happiness, lowered body stress. I have learned that I am one determined woman.
Flashback video! I wanted to share with you all my thoughts about my first 30 days of trying the keto diet. I'm starting to realize that everybody's journey on keto is very different. If you have been doing keto for a while or if you are new to keto I'd love to hear from you. Check out my video here:

Flashback to day one, if you are considering one meal a day or omad. This is me at the start of my journey.
Please note: I took one teaspoon of black seed oil and in the morning and before going to bed. I also drank two glasses of apple cider vinegar water. I added two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to ten ounces of water.
