I feasted between Christmas and New Years. I started 2018 with a three day fast, then did omad until this last Saturday. The one meal was massive. I would have no grains, some protein slathered with cheese or butter (like five or six eggs, two hamburgers, steak, or chicken), and finish it off with about fiveish ounces of mixed salad topped with cheese, grape tomatoes, a 1/4 onion, and about every other day a clove or two of raw garlic with oil and vinegar as the dressing with one or two glasses of milk. During the day I'd drink water and green/white tea. I lost one pound everyday following that. Saturday I'd have a large pizza and gain like four pounds. I net lost for the week three pounds 
To put this weight in perspective I didn't do any lifting during that period. I got busy around the holidays and basically quit lifting Thanksgiving where I left off (conventional) deadlifting 405x3 and benching 245x3. I'd hurt my knee a touch doing front squats a ways back and said I wasn't going to mess with squats until I got three sets of twelve on max of the leg press machine (400 lbs) with being able to do one set at 400x12. 6 ft 195-200 weight when I quit lifting and kicked off the New Year at like 218. Ended at 201 on the ninth.

Of all the pathways I've gone down in regards to dieting and exercising, the one thing that has led to the most significant change in body composition and fitness is IF, but more specifically OMAD.
I was pretty overweight from middle school to end of sophomore year of high school due to poor dieting, although I was very active with sports. I went from 240lbs down to 190lbs (6'1 btw) after one high school season of football along with weight training. My problem has always been that I like to eat, and that didn't end when I lost all that weight. Falling back into poor dieting has been my Achilles' heal since as long as I can remember.
Then, last year, I started looking into IF, as well as keto. When used together, I noticed great results for weight loss/maintenance, better performance in the gym/sports, as well as more energy throughout the day. After about 6 months I returned to a less restrictive diet and 6 months later I went from 190 to 210. That 20 lbs crept up on me, and all those insecurities from being an overweight kid started to arise in the back of my mind. I decided that another round of IF and keto was the solution, but this time I'd try OMAD.
Fast forward to today after about 8 weeks of the combination, and I'm down to 186lbs. Now, my weight fluctuates day to day, but for the majority of the time I'm around 190lbs. This time around while utilizing OMAD, IF and a lighter version of keto, it finally feels as though I've found a real solution to my weight problem. If anyone is serious about losing weight, but are unsure of what works, I can't recommend the combination of IF (OMAD) and low carb diet enough.
