Don't eat any carbs/sugars - live longer. It's simple.
No, a 100% meat diet is not the key to long life. You could maybe do it for a while with supplements to get all the nutrients you'd be missing, but that doesn't mean its healthy.
OP, I'm not familiar with the diet you're doing, but generally-speaking, carbs cause an insulin reaction that results in fat retention, or fat build-up. One thing to watch out for is artificial sweeteners. Some artificial sweeteners have been found to cause an insulin reaction as well, so one can gain weight even due to something as seemingly innocuous as drinking zero-carb soft drinks/soda pop. This seems to be more of a problem for people in the middle-age years and beyond, but some doctors say this is behind childhood obesity, too. YMMV. But since you said you're taking in artificial sweeteners, I thought I'd mention it.
I'm not putting on weight. The four pound loss on the scale this morning. . did you not see that? I posted about it this morning (message #20).
You were just retaining something.
And then you un-retained it.

I'm not a vegetarian, I'm a vegan. I do eat beans, especially the garbanzos in hummus which I make from scratch.
Vegetarian, vegan, whatever, you know what I mean. Same still applies and point still stands. If you are truly keto, then beans aren't on the menu. It's paradoxical - you say that carbs are the enemy and whatnot, yet much of your diet still has to come from carbs by the mere fact that you're veget...oops vegan. Go figure, lol.

I changed my mind since starting the thread. OMAD/vegan or OMAD/keto but not all three. Still, carbs should probably be de-emphasized.
If you'll notice, in the subject line of the post, I put a question mark after enemy. So, it's really not paradoxical. I was inquiring, that's all.

If my posts are not your cup of tea, that's what the block function is for. That way, you won't have to be bothered.
My other great theory is that extreme dieters are also essentially attention-seekers.
The Holy Grail of weight loss is actually very simple - you consume fewer calories than you expend and you increase that gap with exercise.
You can do this by eating carbs and fats as well as all those lovely veggies and fruit.
Just in the right proportion.
Every single diet ever invented is simply a convenient excuse for people who don't have the willpower to achieve this simple Holy Grail.
OMAD is just another branch of this mumbo-jumbo quackery.
The cavemen who roamed the earth thousands of years ago - with exactly the the same physical make-up as us today - didn't confine their eating to a set time.
When they were hungry they ate.Meat,plants,fruit - whatever was available and none of it was processed.

You're right about cavemen not doing OMAD.
If the hunt was unsuccessful, they fasted because they had no choice!
