Top 10 Foods To Eat When Eating One Meal A Day
If you are following the OMAD Diet, or any intermittent fasting protocol then it’s
important to know what foods you should eat.
Eating high quality, nutrient dense foods will not only support your diet,
but also provide the ingredients your body needs to perform some major health improvements.
In the previous video I talked about the top 8 benefits of eating one meal day,
Today I will be highlighting the top 10 foods I recommend to eat when following the OMAD
diet.
Just my usual reminder this video is for educational purposes only, so do speak to your doctor
if you have any medical concerns.
1.
Eggs Pasture raised organic eggs are some of the
most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
Rich in essential proteins, healthy fats, Vitamins A, D, E and K eggs provide raw materials
that your body needs for growth and repair.
I recommend eating at least 2-4 eggs per day when fasting.
2.
Chia Seeds When adapting your body to one meal a day,
soluble fiber helps to buffer your blood sugars and help keep your hunger under control.
Start eating 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds per day.
The fiber in these seeds feeds your friendly microbes, which helps you to lose weight.
3.
Avocados Avocados are extremely nutrient dense and
are an excellent source of magnesium and potassium.
These minerals help your cells accept more fuel, by reducing insulin resistance.
Avocados help improve energy levels, by lowering inflammation throughout the body.
4.
Nutritional When you fast, your cells use up B-Vitamins
to produce energy from your fat stores.
To give your body a steady supply of B-Vitamins start consuming 1-3 tablespoons of nutritional
yeast each day in your eating window.
This will keep your energy levels high whilst you're not eating.
5.
Cruciferous Vegetables Pound for pound, cruciferous vegetables are
densely packed full of phytonutrients that promote healing and restoration throughout
the body.
Radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, arugula, watercress and brussels sprouts are excellent
examples.
These are all loaded with minerals too, which support cellular metabolism during fasting.
6.
Red Meat When eating one meal day, you'll want to choose
protein sources that are nutrient dense such as grass fed, grass finished beef, lamb and
organ meats.
These will provide essential amino acids, Vitamin A, along with blood building iron
and B12, to keep your body strong, and your blood rich with oxygen.

7.
Berries & Lemons As a dessert, eat a handful of mixed berries
each day, like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
These will help to boost your antioxidants and Vitamin C intake, to help your body clean
out toxins, waste and lower inflammation.
Whole blended lemons also speed up the weight loss process.
8.
Wild Fish Wild fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel
and herring are also excellent sources of protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids which
nourish your skin and boost healthy collagen.
Eating wild fish has an anti-aging effect by strengthening the membranes around your
trillions of cells.
9.
Green Tea If you wondering what to drink, I recommend
matcha green tea.
You can drink 2-3 cups of this throughout the day and it will not break your fast, as
long as you do not add sweeteners or any type of milk.
Green tea contains catechins that reduce cellular inflammation, and can support a deeper fast.
10.
Fermented Vegetables Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Miso and full fat Greek
yoghurt are all excellent sources of prebiotic fiber and probiotics.
These feed the friendly microbes in your digestive system, helping to clean up the body of toxins,
waste, candida and harmful microbes.
Eating these will improve your mood and brain function, as the friendly microbes help to
build serotonin and melatonin brain chemicals.
Important Notes
When following a one meal a day plan, I highly recommend avoiding junk foods, sugar, refined
carbohydrates and starchy foods.
These will fill up your stomach, making you less likely to meet your nutrient requirements.
This can make fasting difficult for your body, so eat a mixture of the foods mentioned in
this video to get the most health benefits from fasting.
You can ease into this diet by starting on 2 meals a day, and then down to 1 meal a day.
This can help your body to adapt to the change in eating pattern.
