As I said in the post I have not had any side effects. If anything my bowel movements have generally become more regular and err smaller.

I know people who are on it and they tend to have "problems going"
I think it depends a lot and every person is different

Now down to 236 from 280. Aiming for 220.
I've splashed out on some expensive new trainers to protect my heel and will - very gingerly - try running again.

(Nice to see that you have returned to the forum!)
Well done on the weight loss.
I keep thinking that I would like to give running a go again but in the past it went for my hips and knees so I stuck with 'power walking', which gives me the cardio benefits without the impacts of running.
But then I watched this video...
... and wondered whether shuffling like Cliff Young might be a good compromise for me? It looks a bit daft but it should be much kinder to the joints.

I suspect that @Drago would hate to be that skinny but it would be great for me when cycling in hilly Yorkshire, Lancashire Derbyshire and Devon!

Aye, im still carrying a fair bit of upper body mass. 220lbs at 193cm is about as low as I want to go else id risk looking like a normie.

I haven't weighed myself for a few weeks but I can tell from my flabby waist that I must still be a little over 80 kg (176 lbs). In terms of fat loss, I would like to get down to around 73 kg (161 lbs), but I would like to add 3+ kg (7+ lbs) of muscle to avoid total scrawniness!
I have never really felt the need for diets, even though I'm not skinny, but that's more to do with genetics than anything else. Even so, after a year of cycling only intermittently for health reasons, it was obvious I had put on some weight, mostly around my belly. Viceral fat. Which, from what I read is about the worst kind. I had a proper overhang and a pair of supporting balconies either side. They had to go.
So taking the bull by the horns I thought I would try a spell of OMAD. One Meal A day.
I did a bit of reading up on it and 3 weeks ago I began. I was a Thursday evening. After dinner at around 6pm I had another 23 hours to go before the next meal. Morning came and went and breakfast was missed, as was lunch. Surprisingly I wasn't ravenous.
Come dinnertime I was well looking forward to my meal though. Keeping plenty of fluids going I have managed well. I find I can go the full day without yearning for a snack. So for me it's one very good meal in a set 2 hour window. Also cutting out ordinary bread, cakes, pastry, choclolate and pretty much most things that are sweet and loaded with carbs. My meals are protein heavy too. Red meat, chicken, fish, lentils, even lentil bread. (yeah it's an aquired taste but its not awful)
For a pudding I'll eat nuts and a bit of fruit, both of which I have always liked, and a small amount of yogurt.
I do get the urge for a snack but I find I can put it out of my mind well enough. The scent of a bacon roll is a proper temptation though.
24 days ago I weighed in at 74.5kg
Today I was 70.7kg
It's the second time I have weighed myself since I began. I could see the difference after just a week and that was a big motivation to keep going. I thought I would leave the scales alone mostly. (until I saw this thread that is)
I have been out more on the bike during these last 3 weeks and so using up a lot more calories than usual. Even so I am surprised it has been so effective and even more surprised that it hasn't been as difficult as I imagined it would be.
Mrs Colly and I are away for this coming week to stay with old school friends and its always a great week with lots of drinking and eating and I don't intend to be the party pooper and sit there scoffing a lettuce leaf. So I will most likely be getting back on the waggon come Friday.
