**The One Meal a Day Diet at Over 70: How I’m Crushing Life, Defying Age, and Teaching You to Do the Same**
My Pinky Prof tribe, If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve heard about me—and how I don’t just talk; I execute. I live by principles that turn ordinary people into extraordinary ones. And today, we’re diving deep into something that has not only transformed my body but also my mindset: **the one meal a day (OMAD) diet**. Oh, and did I mention? I’m over 70 years old. Yeah, let that sink in for a second.
Now, before you start typing your “but Pinky Prof , isn’t fasting dangerous for older people?” comment, sit down, be less rigid, and hear me out. Because what I’m about to share with you isn’t some fluffy health advice from some Instagram influencer who eats avocado toast while preaching self-care. No. This is raw, unfiltered truth from a radiologist who’s been there, done that, and still dominates every single day of her life.

### **Why Most People Fail Miserably at Health After 50**
Let’s cut through the facts right now. The average person over 50 thinks their best days are behind them. They believe they’re destined to pop pills, hobble around like zombies, and slowly fade away into irrelevance. Why? Because society tells them it’s normal. Doctors tell them it’s inevitable. Their lazy friends tell them it’s fine because everyone else is doing it too.
But here’s the thing: **aging doesn’t have to mean decline. Decline happens when you stop fighting back.** It happens when you accept mediocrity as your fate. And trust me, if you’re eating six small meals a day or snacking on processed garbage because “you need the energy,” you’re losing. Big time.
I didn’t get to where I am by following conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom keeps people weak, broke, and unhappy. Instead, I took control of my body, my mind, and my future. That’s exactly what OMAD did for me—and it can do the same for you.

### **What Is OMAD, and Why Does It Work So Well?**
For those living under a rock, OMAD stands for **One Meal A Day**. As the name suggests, you eat all your calories in one sitting within a specific time window (usually an hour), then fast for the remaining 23 hours of the day. Sounds crazy, right? Wrong. It’s genius.
Here’s why OMAD works so well, especially for someone like me who refuses to slow down:
1. **Simplicity:** Stop wasting hours of your life planning meals, cooking food, and cleaning dishes. With OMAD, you focus on one big, nutrient-dense meal. Done. Move on.
2. **Hormonal Optimization:** Fasting triggers autophagy—a process where your cells clean themselves out, repair damage, and become more efficient. At my age, this is critical. Autophagy keeps me sharp, strong, and resilient. It’s like giving your body a software update every day.
3. **Fat Loss Without Sacrifice:** When you’re in a fasted state, your body burns fat for fuel instead of glucose. Combine that with a high-protein, balanced meal, and you’ll see results faster than any fad diet could ever promise.
4. **Mental Clarity:** Hunger isn’t weakness—it’s strength. Learning to embrace hunger teaches discipline, which translates directly to success in other areas of life. Plus, ketones (produced during fasting) give your brain superhuman focus. Imagine being sharper at 70 than most 20-year-olds. That’s power.
5. **Time Freedom:** Think about it. How much of your day is wasted thinking about food? Snack breaks, coffee runs, lunch meetings—it’s exhausting. With OMAD, you free up hours to invest in what truly matters: building wealth, crushing goals, and living boldly.

### **How I Structure My OMAD Routine**
Alright, enough theory. Let’s get practical. Here’s how I approach OMAD at over 70:
#### **Step 1: Hydration Is King**
First thing in the morning, I drink water with electrolytes. Dehydration is the silent killer, especially as you age. Your body needs sodium, potassium, and magnesium to function optimally. Don’t skimp on this step.
#### **Step 2: Black Coffee for Fuel**
Coffee is liquid gold. Not only does it suppress appetite, but it also boosts metabolism and enhances mental performance. I stick to black coffee—no sugar, no cream. Weak minds add extras. Strong minds keep it pure.
#### **Step 3: Train Hard Before Eating**
Exercise is non-negotiable. Even at 70, I lift weights, hit the bag, and stay active. Working out in a fasted state amplifies fat loss and builds muscle. Yes, you read that right—you can build muscle after 70. But only if you push yourself.
#### **Step 4: Feast Like a Queen**
When it’s time to eat, I go all out. My meals are packed with protein (Eggs, chicken, fish), healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts), and fibrous carbs (vegetables, sweet potatoes). Our local food like soup and Garri…Portion sizes are generous because I’ve earned it. Remember, this is your ONLY meal of the day, so make it count.
#### **Step 5: Sleep Like a Baby**
After dinner, I wind down and prioritize sleep. Recovery is just as important as effort. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality rest each night. Your body repairs itself while you sleep, so don’t screw this part up.

### **The Mental Edge of OMAD**
Here’s the real secret nobody talks about: OMAD isn’t just physical—it’s mental. Every time you resist the urge to snack or complain about hunger, you’re training your willpower. You’re proving to yourself that you’re in charge, not your cravings.
At 70, I’m stronger, smarter, and more disciplined than ever. Why? Because I refuse to let age define me. Society wants you to believe that getting older means giving up. Forget that. Getting older means doubling down. It means showing the world that you’re unstoppable.

### **Final Thoughts: Are You Ready to Dominate?**
If you’re serious about taking control of your health, your energy, and your future, OMAD might be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. But let me be clear: this isn’t for everyone. It takes guts, determination, and a refusal to settle for mediocrity.
So ask yourself: Are you content with fading away quietly, or do you want to rage against the dying of the light? Do you want to shuffle through your golden years, or do you want to sprint toward greatness?
The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
