I only ate ONE MEAL a DAY for a whole week... This is what happened 

Food tastes extremely good when you're this hungry.

So this is essentially the Ibiza meal plan.

Joe “When is the egg whites comin” Delaney

Yo mate, you should really try OMAW one meal a week... Thats when the real sh*t kicks in

"whats happening lad... when's the egg whites coming" ahahah I don't know why but this killed me!

Mate the quality of your videos now a days is actually unreal. So sick and entertaining to watch, don’t wanna skip a minute! Love to see it bro

Loving the innovation in the vids lately man. The editing, the ideas, the humour, yet still in tune with your classic Joey D. You've diversified so much. Keep up the great work

3:10 the man, the myth, the legend

Just do the 4-hour eating window. Smash 2-solid meals in that time. It’s all good

The reason why it was so hard for you is because you’re so used to eating foods that aren’t calorie dense. Much harder to hit the calorie goals eating super healthy. You almost have to include higher fat meals. Otherwise you’ll feel like you did for a looooong time before your body adjusts accordingly

Everyone else I watch whether it's fitness, fashion, foodies - they are always an exaggerated version of themselves. I love how normal you are. Thanks for the videos.

If you start shaking or cramping when fasting, you are mineral deficient, not calorie deficient. Put some magnesium/potassium rich salt in a glass of water and drink it.

You weren't eating enough cals in the meals so you felt shit, you were constantly in a cal deficit so is that a surprise? People on omad tend to eat higher fat and lower carb macros, easier to get in cals that way. Also your relying on ketosis anyway so mayswell give your body what it wants to burn in this kind of fast - fats.

It’s actually pretty awesome when you get used to it after a week

Unreal video mate. Inspired me to get in the gym after finding your channel, video quality is bang on.

Do a meet up with the "joe delaney is my hero" guy

I saw you yesterday in Ancoats, love the content man!

AWESOME VID! Inspiring as always. I did a diet/eating style like this for a month last year. It worked well to get cut for me and though calories lowered I was still satisfied due to the lager meal.

This was such a good video! Loved the sped up edit ✅

you just had 3 meals in one sitting. I feel decieved

It can be difficult to just eat OMAD, especially when you just jump into it, which is not the way to start OMAD. You must gradually work your way up to it. I've been doing intermittent fasting since February and love it. I recently started doing OMAD and feel even better. I don't have any starvation hunger pains, no headaches. I feel I have much more energy and am more focused throughout the day. When I have a cheat day and eat 3 meals, I feel horrible, sluggish and unenergized. It might not be for everyone but I certainly love fasting and OMAD.

Cool that you did it! Very interesting video mate!

Grew up watching Joey D ibiza videos, now i'm watching him cook and it still gives me the same buzz, damn aging is weird. loving these vids man, mad to see how far you've come since i first met you at bodypower.

Yo, where did you get your scale? I’ve been looking for one with all the stats on the scale rather than an app

Hey man, how did you find all the recipes for your food? Did you use an App, or a book or just your own ideas?

Could you do a video about your stretches and warmups for each workout?

The sped up stretching caught me off guard

Thanks for doing this. I’m actually on day 71 of OMAD and I’ve been going to the gym every day for 71 days in a row as well. The hunger pains do go away though! Now it’s just more of a routine. Currently down 35 +/- lbs

"Yo mate, when the egg whites turning up" - That has me literally crying with laughter. Brilliant :D!

Hey Joey, have you ever thought of doing a video on the ketogenic diet? I know it's a weight loss diet and all, but as someone who has done it for about a year, it seems to yield a considerable boost to cognitive improvements as well as a stable solution to hunger. It'd be interesting to see how you meet the macro profiles as well as your daily caloric needs. Buff Dudes tried it out for at least 2 weeks as that is the amount of time needed to become accustomed to the lifestyle. Looking forward to future videos like these.

For me this type of eating is purely down to ease and simplicity rather than trying to lose weight or something crazy like that. I do something similar to omad but allow myself 2 hours rather than just the 1. As someone who snacks a lot and snacks on bad food, especially when you're in meetings at work, and all around you is chocolates and biscuits. Rather than snacking i just ignore it otherwise i can devour a full pack of biscuits without even blinking, as well as this just not having the time to make food, and leaving it until the end of the day is just easier. Ultimately it just comes down to your lifestyle, i change my eating on the weekends, as i have more time and am at home and just relaxing more often so that allows me to eat more meals and spend the time with the family and friends and enjoy my food.

I know people who does OMAD and it works for them. I think the key is they gradually let their body adjust to this fasting cycle, not jump on it immediately. They started with low carb first, concentrating on high protein and fat intake. Then they incorporated intermittent fasting, 12 hrs and 12 hrs off initially and progressed to OMAD.

Can’t find the first track even with the link in the description :( Awesome vid mate!

Can tell Tommy B enjoyed the meal rubbing his gut or as I think he said "abdomen" Sick vid Joey D

A good honest video. I won't be doing it. Thanks very much.

Great video Joey lad

i tried it one year ago and i completely agree with you.

OMAW+Cold Shower+Semen Retention+No Smartphone,Smoking and Alcohol+Alpha Male Affirmation+Work Out+Sleep Only Seven Hours Per Day = Hercules Modern Era

Great content. Never wired off addy’s or meth like other fitness gurus of RU-vid. Talks like he’s a childhood bro that moved to Ireland and became a meat head. I love it.

Thanks for the content, joe! But seeing as you’ve found this particular rabbit hole, how about you try alternate day fasting

And my stomach says "sapnin lad?" 🤣🤣

I really enjoyed this video. I like it when you do challenges or experiments as you actually do them properly and give them a good crack unlike many others who do it hald-arsed and just take the piss a little bit. Here's siome more ideas: 1 week on 'below the line' or spending on £1 on food per day, going vegan for a week etc. But, all like properly done with nutrition and macros considered and these honest chats about how you feel. Love the vibe of all your videos and how real you are. Keep it going man.

My body reached a level where I wasn’t hungry at all really during my second week but starting my third week I was craving things I don’t normally crave, I also noticed iv become very fatigued at the gym early in my workouts

hey joe, mind posting a video about warming up and cooling down?

sick content as ever

Would love a video around the science of zero calories fizzy drinks and debunking the myths surrounding it around fat loss, the “starvation mode” myth and the best way to utilise zero calorie fizzy drinks when cutting

You're a breath of fresh air among the many obnoxious fitness RU-vidrs.

you should do ACTUAL fasting, hitting your caloric intake for the WEEK with days of no eating.

@joe Delaney whats the name of the brand you wear with this mwv heart logo ?

Good stuff lad , doing this 7 months now ! Really builds stomach capacity ...

ORACLE looked like David Goggins! You should do 10km run every day, see how that goes :)

try entering and maintaning ketosis

I've been eating like that for the last 3 months. Dealing with hunger does get much, much easier. During the day I don't even feel hungry. Hunger only becomes a problem if you eat too early in the day. I've been doing this to lose weight, which I did, and now I'm doing this because it's just so convinient. I come back home, cook once, eat once and that's it. Real easy, real quick. Don't know about all of the miraculous health benefits that people attribute to eating once a day. I do feel good, but I reckon I would feel equally as good eating normally so go figure.

What body composition scales do you use?

Take it up a level and do NOMAD (No meals a day) for 3 days

Yo mate sick video. You should do one week of no salt or carbs. Would be cool to see tbh

Can't believe you refferred to tommy b as just 'a mate' haha

Where did you buy the weighing machine?

Anyone know the brand of this scale and where to get it or have any suggestions for a similar scale?

“A life without snacks would be probably pretty barren and pointless”. Dying...

btw new to your channel and loved the video, for me because I'm extremely busy at work, it actually slows me down, either by eating food or buying food, ever since i started fasting, I've noticed i don't crave chocolate as much as i used to and the crazy hunger goes away, not I'm only eating 500-700 Calories per day. Over the past year, I've suffered from Depression and i pretty much started snacking way too much, to the point i ended up putting on 20Kg in 12month. now of my clothes fit me properly and it made me more depressed. but every since fasting the weight is starting to fall off, back a gym 5-6 times a week and starting to gain my Muscles back. note i done OMAD 2 year ago and lost 10KG in about 3 Months, the Plan is now to do it for a year, once i reach a weight im happy with im going to go on a clean Diet because it you can put a lot of weight back on if you go back to bad eating habits. im also avoiding dairy and eating as low carbs as possible. weekend my i fast till 1pm, and allow 2 meals because you gotta enjoy life. Mon-Fri i fast till 6:30pm

Sivk vid mate, would love to see you follow a yoga routine, and then hear your take on it from a fitness and strength perspective

How about you live of fast food for a week?! Would definitely want to see this!

Question: why do you do such a long warm up for legs

Exactly like you said "it's probably not real hunger". I have noticed that too. And to think about it, do you go to sleep every time you feel a bit tired? No... same way maybe we don't have to eat every time we feel a little bit hungry... but when you get that REAL hunger, it's time to eat! And it feels much better then too!

Where did you get that white corded jacket from Joey d? Also, great vid, as usual, saw you in Starbucks the other week in Manc but was too scared to say hi haha.

Do a collab with fellow rise athlete, our boy, Jeff Nippard!

I’m 15 and 168 lbs what do u think I will be down to with 30 days doing this?

13:56 everything takes time, working out doesn't get good for a few weeks, even then it can be boring as hell. i'm not saying OMAD is the best plan around, only that you didn't really give it a proper attempt. then you went on to bash it and contradict yourself... you tell people to work out and be patient with gains but then you have zero patience here.

"That is so", haha lmfao.

Somebody please provide a link to the first track. Can't find it

Good reference video for Ramadan. Appreciate your effort mate :)

I'm currently using OMAD and I think it's a great tool as I'm currently cuting on 2000 calories per day; don't think it's worth the hassle on a bulk/maintenance phase though. Splitting 2000 calories between a couple meals a day never filled me up and left me hungry an hour after each meal which was just terrible. Now that I'm used to fasting, I don't get hungry till around 6-7pm but on the rare case that I do, I just have some coffee or tea to stave it off till later. Then when I actually am hungry, I get to eat a huge meal that fills me up. Only gripe I had before was planning my meals to hit macros but I eat roughly the same 2 meals for my OMAD every day now so it's no longer a problem. Also found that it helped a lot with my cravings as by the time I'm hungry, I only want healthy, whole foods and no sugary garbage. I don't stick to the 23/1 rule though, just the one meal at night and however long it takes me to eat.

Joe "If something takes 3-4 weeks is probably not good" Delaney, hahah. I've been doing the 20/4 eating plan for 2 years, trust me it makes a difference(for me anyways).

These videos never fail to make me laugh.

“Personally I think it sounds like a terrible idea.... so I’m going to do it” 🤣

2:56 GET THE KAFTA KABOB!!!! ORDER IT RN! *DO IT* 😱❤️❤️❤️ Well, I’m hungry and now I just really want kafta 😂😭

Do one of those ‘hunger strikes’ for a week. Gets you shredded I heard..

I'd be interested to know if you feel any better now that your back to normal calories(Vs before when eating the same). There's a load of research that a 3 day fast can help replenish your immune system, replacing up to 30% of cells. Curious to know if a longer fast would have some sort of effect, albeit probably unmeasurable annecdotally.

its too short for your body to adapt...at least two weeks and you can rip the full benefits

2:41 does anyone know where I can buy this jacket from? Thankyou!

What scale is that it literally shows what is taking up the weight someone reply please

Thank you for acknowledging GP. RIP. I miss him.

what did you weigh at the end of it?

Hey mate, you should try OMAH, One Meal An Hour

If you can overcome the hunger in the first few days, week, it’s a great discipline and does wonders for your innards It takes 2-3 weeks for some degree of detox and your body adapt into the feeding schedule

What about adding protein powder to every meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks

200k subs by Christmas lad

Need to do OMAD in the morning. Glycogen gets stored better and you can increase strength at night.

I've never done it (well unless you count my ibiza trips) but I imagine some advantages would be: - Food tastes amazing, because your so hungry - Losing weight would be much more achievable (if thats your goal) - You could have cheat meals or eat out every day with no real concern for over eating. - Food planning and preparation time reduced by cutting 2+ meals out per day. - Potentially save money as mostly having cheaper bulk meals and less of the expensive snacks and treats.

M8 you track your sodium intake aswell. That's what I find the hardest not to go over. Cheers

I've found that the 16 hour fast and 8 hour eating window works best for me. I just don't eat for the first 4 hours after getting up, the last 4 hours before going to bed and sleep for 8 hours. After being up for 4 hours I eat a big breakfast and then eat a medium sized meal before the 8 hour window closes. After getting used to that schedule I actually prefer it and don't find it difficult at all. If I struggle at all it's occasionally waiting the 4 hours after waking up, but a strong black coffee (or 2) usually helps me power through that period.

"That is so" 💀💀💀

I believe it's good for people with deceases and blood trouble just started a dry fast for this reason

Very late to this video, I have to say as a content creator your opening montage of cooking with music is beautifully shot. Content was good as well.

I was expecting Joe to be an oracle at the end of this vid.

Much better than “I only ate McDonald for 24 hrs!!”

I totally agree with what you’re conclusion was but surely the point about if it takes 2-3 weeks of feeling bad before you start feeling the benefits so it’s probably shit, pretty much describes anyone starting in their fitness journey, what you recon. . Love your videos anyway mate, good vibes ✌️

You should try the 'Eat When Your Hungry' diet next.

When you get hungry that is called your ghrelin hunger hormone. It spikes during your normal eating windows. When you fast though it goes down after a few days depending on your eating schedule.
