00:00Iseline and Chito's weight reached almost 100 kilos in 2024, while Chito Lim, a 31-year-old businessman, reached 135 kilograms.
00:15There are times when you laugh when you pass by.
00:17Oh, that's stupid.
00:18That's too big.
00:20I don't want to reach the time when I'm in my thirties and suddenly there's a sudden illness.
00:26Because of this, Iseline and Chito tried the 1-meal-a-day diet or OMAD.
00:31This is fasting for 16 to 23 hours and eating only once a day.
00:37Before, their weight was heavy.
00:40Now, their peg is already glow-up after losing 40 kilograms in 6 to 7 months.
00:47Now, when I look at the mirror, I turn around like this.
00:51I'm more confident facing people, especially customers. I'm more active.
00:56But it wasn't easy to do OMAD.
00:59At first, I was dizzy and I always felt weak.
01:04In my first months, I planned to give up because my head hurts.
01:09But after 3 months, my body slowly got used to it.
01:14Mostly, at night, I still feel hungry.
01:18So, during those times, I snack on bananas and apples.
01:27According to a lifestyle doctor, the right way to do the 1-meal-a-day diet
01:32has a good effect on the human body.
01:35What happens is that instead of using carbohydrates,
01:39the energy of the body shifts into fats.
01:42So, it helps fat breakdown.
01:45It also helps to increase insulin sensitivity.
01:49That's why sugar is more beneficial for the body and cellular repair.
01:53Cellular repair.
01:55Because what happens when we're in a fasted state,
01:58our body breaks down the cells that are faulty.
02:03When you have an energy depletion, your body thinks,
02:06this is the time to clean your body and break down the cells that are defective.
02:12But according to the doctor, OMAD should be done 2-3 times a week.
02:18It can't be done every day.
02:20When fasting is prolonged, the body slowly adapts to the calorie deficiency.
02:28This is what slows down the metabolism.
02:30If people fast for a long time, they would lose weight.
02:33But once they go back to their normal eating pattern, they suddenly lose weight.
02:37The Filipino Department of Health should also follow
02:40half-vegetables and fruits, 1-4 carbohydrates,
02:44and 1-4 healthy protein to avoid nutrient deficiency.
02:48OMAD is also prohibited for pregnant women, teenagers,
02:52children, individuals with eating disorders, diabetes,
02:55heart disease, and other chronic illnesses.
02:58It is also advisable to gradually start OMAD and consult a doctor
03:04to make sure that the body is in the right condition.
