Some background: 38M, been eating better/living a healthier lifestyle for almost exactly 2 years.
Between late November 2020 and this spring, I lost about 150lbs doing a combination of mostly OMAD, combined first with normal eating, then pretty quickly into mainstream keto, and then more paleo/keto, and finally a quasi-carnivore diet. Every now and then I'd have cheat days, but would get back on track pretty quickly. At my lowest point, this spring, I got within about 20-30 lbs of my target weight (I'm 6'1").
This summer and fall, I've been traveling a LOT - and not only have I loosened up my diet while on the road, but I also was eating 2 or even 3 meals a day, because I found it impossible to eat enough at one meal to last me for a full day. Additionally, while I was walking a lot, I wasn't able to do the resistance exercises that I had been doing pretty regularly at home
I'm finally back home for a while as of two weeks ago, and over the summer and the fall I had gained about 16lbs from my lowest point. I've been pretty strict in terms of what I eat since I got back, but have been getting super hungry in the early afternoon, so I've been doing 2MAD, more or less.
I haven't lost any weight in two the two weeks I've been back, despite eating MUCH better and less frequently than I was during my months of travel, and resuming my resistance training. I've even mostly cut out cheese, which was a staple on my keto/carnivore diet, because I've heard it can hinder weight loss, but it hasn't seem to have made a difference.
Did a year and a half of OMAD make it so that I can't eat 2 meals a day? Or is it just that several months of bad eating is going to take longer to undo? I'm kind of scared that I'm on an upward trend, and I don't want that!
