Gerald Rascionato · DownSize Me Founder
I’d tried everything — low carb, calorie tracking, cutting out food groups — but nothing ever stuck. I’d lose some weight… then gain it back.
It wasn’t until I discovered OMAD — One Meal a Day — that everything finally clicked.
But it wasn’t just OMAD on its own.
It was the specific rules and structure around it that made the difference.
While directing feature films on brutal schedules, I lost 75 lbs — without a gym and without giving up the foods I love.
What changed?
I learned how to time my meals, stick to one plate, one beverage, and follow a few key guidelines that made it simple and sustainable.
At first, I was still eating pizza, burgers — whatever I wanted and I still lost weight.
But over time, my cravings shifted. I naturally made healthier choices without even trying.
This structure helped me break through plateaus, keep the weight off, and finally reclaim my health and my life.
Now, inside the free community, I’ll show you how to ease into this lifestyle, pick the right approach for your body, and explore the same rules that worked for me (and many others).
If you're ready to stop starting over, I’ll help you make this stick.
When I first started OMAD, I dropped all the way from 275 to 185 pounds. I had a small setback, but I’m proud to say I’m back at my goal and still improving. This group and this way of eating have given me the structure and support I needed. OMAD is where it’s at!

– Paul & Wilma
“In 2013, I dropped 178 pounds using OMAD, and everything shifted. It wasn’t just the weight. It was the mindset, the discipline, and the freedom that came with it.”

"When I met Gerald, I felt it was time to prioritize my health. With DownSize Me, I lost 20 pounds, gained confidence and soon after, we found out we were expecting our first baby!"
– Kellie
"I had been struggling with my weight for years. I tried fasting before but never knew how to make it stick. Once I started using the DownSize Me system, everything changed. I finally understood when to eat, how to eat, and why I was getting stuck before. In just 90 days, I dropped the weight I’d been trying to lose for years — and I’ve kept it off."
– Peter
“I began my journey at 50 years old and lost over 50 pounds in just 10 months using intermittent fasting. I gradually worked my way toward OMAD, and it's been the one thing that’s helped me stay on track over the years. Even after a bit of regain, I know exactly how to reset and I’m more committed than ever.”
— Melissa
“I didn’t count calories, follow a strict meal plan, or spend hours at the gym. I just stuck to eating once a day and the results were unbelievable. I dropped 30 pounds in 3 months, and I feel sharper, lighter, and in control again. If I can do it, anyone can.”
– Joe
“I tried everything, keto, calorie counting, you name it. But it wasn’t until I switched to OMAD that the weight finally came off. I went from 244 to 170 pounds. Life happened and I gained some back, but now that I’ve gone through the DownSize Me course, I see what I was missing: the one plate rule, replenish days, and real structure. This time, I’m doing it the right way and I’m excited to begin again.”
– Teresa
"I learned this method from my husband, and at first, I thought there was no way I could eat just one meal a day. But the way it’s taught made all the difference. It wasn’t about restriction. It was about structure. I didn’t feel deprived, and I actually looked forward to my meals. It gave me my confidence back."
– Debra
“My knees hurt, my energy was low, and I honestly thought real change just wasn’t possible anymore. But DownSize Me broke it down step-by-step. I’ve lost the weight, feel stronger on hikes, and my grandkids say I look like a new man.”
– Mark
“I didn’t just lose weight, I gained energy, confidence, and a whole new outlook. People keep telling me I look younger, and honestlyI feel it too. DownSize Me made it simple to follow, and I never felt deprived.”
