26/08/2026 3-Day Reset Insight: Diet

So what might be the likely diet be for our OMAD 3-Day Reset? I've been doing OMAD (one meal a day) and OMID (in the 'desert') for around 7 years (and vegan for 22 years), so I've worked hard on all the ins and outs of it. The key is to ensure you're getting the right balance of nutrients. And, in order to maintain 23 hours fasting in a given day, I've perfected both eating and preparing as I go along within 1 hour. Seems a tall order, but I can assure you it does work!

So let's get into it. Here's a demo from my lunch yesterday - I eat my one meal at 12 noon.

OMAD Diet

It begins with a short ceremony. Here I am at the ancient Viking settlement of Peel, greeting the elders...

Preparing the Gut
If you've been eating junk at times in your diet and animal proteins still, it's always good to begin with a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinger in a small amount of water. It eases digestion, and begins to alkalise the gut - which is where you want to be.

Fast-Digesting Fruit as You Prepare
Fruit is highly important to the diet to hydrate, alkalise and bring essential nutrients to the body quickly. This is done better on an empty stomach, so as I start to prepare the main course, I'll eat some Blueberries (which dispense with cancer-generating free radicals), grapes and chopped pear (the later two are very alkalising).

Fruits such as these, apples and others can digest in around 15 minutes (bananas take longer). Hence they're already digested by the time you consume the main meal.

After the fruit, with a 10 minute pause, I'll also eat a handful of mixed nuts and dried fruits: almonds, walnuts, brazils, cranberries and goji berries (or put them on top of the main meal). PS - the nuts listed are especially necessary for trace elemenst such as selenium, which supports the metabolism, defends against infection and for DNA repair, for example.

Gut Microbiotics
It's no use having great ingredients in your meal if the body can't assimilate the nutrients - especially where the gut microbiotoics and stomach lining have been damaged through junk food and excessive acidification. By healing the gut microbiotics, you'll also find that you're not craving food at other times during the fast - because you've already assimilated the nutrients you need - you're not needing to 'fill up' with junk!

So, just prior to the main course, I'm a great fan of Sauerkraut. Which is made from finely fermented cabbage. But if you're buying it from a shop, be sure to get only that which has been fermented in water, not vinegar - this is essential (Sauerkraut is easy to make, by the way).

This is my shot, with spirulina mixed in, to give it that extra boost. My gut microbiotics are already jumping with joy!!

PS: If the gut lining has been very damaged, you'll likely be having digestion problems, which could result in ulcers and all manner of conditions - low blood sugar and high blood pressure, for example. So to aid healing, explore acidiophilus. Kombucha is also another favourite in this regard, but I prefer not to go with that generally, due to the caffeine ingredient.

Main Meal
So here's the main meal. There are two parts - here's the first, "Volcanic Salad"...

- I've started with a bed of sprouted broccoli (it has massive health benefits and nutrients - do the research).
- Sliced or chopped celery (tremendously good for roughage and alkalisation).
- Chopped Kale (one nature's superfoods and a distinct favourite).
- Chopped, sliced or grated carrot.
- Grated Beetroot (excellent for cleansing the cells of waste and a detox must).
- Pitted olives with garlic (great for essential fats and the galic helps clear parasites).
- Protein: In this case chickpeas, or else beans, lentils or tempei & tofu (ideally not soya based, but I sometimes have to compromise).
- Grain: The salad tends to go on a bed of lightly cooked grain. My favourites are quinoa and millet (staple diets in the Himalayas) because they're protein dense and digest more quickly. But I will go with rice noodles, and also pasta (gluten free).
- Carbs: this meal is mainly based on proteins and fats (look up the Keto diet), but I find carbs are also essential for proper brain and muscle functioning. So a few times a week, I'll eat potatoes with the meal (sweet potatoes are the best) or pasta (gluten free).
- Electrolyte Himalayan Pink Salt: I'll sprinkle this on top, which is essential to support electrolyte balance and proper synapse funtioning.

Here's the volcanic salad (before the dressing cosmic boost)...

Nutri Pate: The Rocket Booster!
The main food is far from the end of the story. This is where my 'nutri pate', the 'Rocket Booster' of essential suplements comes in.

- Take half a ripe avocado, a table spoon of tahini, 200 mils of water, a table spoon of apple cider vinegar and a spash of shoyu/ammino acids. Smash and blend it altogether to get a runny paste
- Add a spoon of Maca (to ease fatigue and for hormonal balance, both men and women - great for the menopause!)
- Table spoon of hemp powder - for additional protein
- Ground seeds including sunflower seeds and especially pumpkin seeds (good for omega 3 and 6 - great for joints)
- Yeast flakes for B3 and B12 (non fermenting kind - essential)
- Ground oats (great for muscle strength and energy transmission through the muscles)
- Tumeric with a dash of pepper (eases inflamation and aids joint healing - the dash of pepper is necessary for it to assimilate)
- At times, I'll break a capsule of multi B vitamins into it (especially B5 and B12). These are essential for good vegan body functioning.
PS - the list is not exhaustive. Always check in with the body for any additional nutrients it might need.

I then mix up the pate and scoop it on top of the volcanic salad...

Until you've tasted it, it's hard to imagine just how fulfilling and enriching this 'salad' is!

A Note on Raw
I suggest generally a high raw content with OMAD - because it tends to retain critical enzymes in tact, which tend to be destroyed in cooking. At times on my journey I have been 100% raw for this reason - try it, I've found the energy booster to the system is off the scale.

Some people do struggle to digest only raw, though. And in colder climates or cold times, it feels good to have warming food. So to replace the Volcanic sald above, try steamed veg such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, parsnip, mushrooms, onion and others. When I do this, I still add the Nutri Pate Rocket Booster, but warmed up on top of the steamed veg.

A Note on Electrolytes and Processed Oils
An essential ingredient to healthy and fully active living, with fast synapses, are crucial electrolytes, which often get overlooked. So each day I'll begin with a blend of electrolytes dissolved in water. That must include: Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium and Zinc (amongst others). Highly processed and supermarket food has been so denduded of essentials, especially in recent times.

The elecrolyte mix is a great way to get one's system going quickly at the start of the day, And since they have no calorific value, they don't break the fast!

With regards processed oils, personally, I avoid them completely. I find they actually slow the brain synapses down. In the OMAD diet described above, I find I get all the natural oils I need from the ground seeds, nuts, avocado and olives.

Vegan Chocolate Desert
I find some sweet soul food essential to complete with. But make sure it's an easily digestable one, especially after what you've just consumed. Here's an excellent brand I've come across with minimal ingredients other than cacao and coconut butter with almond and crispy quinoa (yum!)...

PS: Definitely no soy, palm oil, nor gluten and with minimalised processed sugar.

Blessing to the Universe
This is about making our lives sacred, honouring the Earth, other sentient life, and giving back the love that went into making the meal So I always gift a small portion back to the Universe with a grateful blessing. The seagul loved this one - nevermind the cast away fish and chips from the local chippy!...

PS: If you doubt the power of the blessing try this - set a small plate aside with your meal and put a spoonful of it on the plate. Bless the portion to your guides and to the Universe. Now, when you've eaten the meal, taste the food on the blessing plate. You'll likely see it has changed composition - the energy has been assimilated by the field!

Postprandial Nap
Afterwards, I find a short postprandial nap is essential to let it all digest. In about 20 minutes, I'm raring to go!

Do tell me your thoughts and ask any queries you might have.
Let me know how you get on.

Love and fulfilled blessings to all!
