This is my health story from "Restaurant Foodie" to "Plant-Based OMAD-er".

When I was 12 years old, my family and I went to a restaurant and just after having a sandwich, a full bowl of macaroni and cheese, and fries, by the time we got home and I went to the bathroom, I threw up all that food.

     At that same age, when we went to Cheesecake Factory and I had a slice of cheesecake, I felt like I was about to throw up.

     At that same age, I used to want to go to Burger King every week.

     At the time, I did not like eating raw vegetables at home to the point where I ate everything else on the plate for dinner and threw the raw vegetables in the trash.

     However, I tried all the chicken that I enjoyed before, but for some reason, I did not like the taste of them anymore.

     Because of it, on my 13th birthday, I decided to become a plant-based vegan.

     Ever since then, I have been eating the raw vegetables first and saving the best food for last.

     When I was 14 years old (before I had the braces), I had 4 meals a day – breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

     When I was 18 years old (after I had the braces), I had 3 meals a day – breakfast, dinner, and dessert.

     When I was 20 years old (before I started my One-Meal-a-Day diet), I had 2 meals a day – breakfast and dinner.

     On April 28, 2026, when I was 20 years old, I began my One-Meal-a-Day (OMAD) diet.

     I began this journey because I realized that crackers and chips do not fill me up and that they are not even healthy in the first place.

     On top of that, I did not see the point of me having a big breakfast and then a big dinner on the same day let alone eating throughout the day.

     For breakfast, I have a small bowl of cereal (Rice Squares, Corn Squares, Fruit Rounds, Granola, and Nuts), a sandwich, and fruits.

     For dinner, I have beans, white potato, mixed vegetables, plantain, veggie meat, and nuts.

     I am doing this because I realized that my body's system needs to be cleared of anything that is harmful.

     I had to ask myself the question, "What kind of interpersonal boundaries have you set for yourself?"
