A Closer Look at the One Meal A Day Diet (OMAD)

The OMAD diet is quite different from other diets, it stands for “ One Meal a Day ” which basically means you fast for 23 hours and then eat a large meal within an hour. It is supposed to help, among other things, with weight loss.
Let's cut to the chase: there isn't enough evidence to support the claim that eating OMAD helps you lose weight. So don't worry, you can still eat multiple meals a day. Could you feel your stomach sighing in relief right now?
The OMAD diet is difficult to follow because it causes your body to produce more ghrelin , a hormone that makes you feel hungry. Coincidentally, “ ghrelin ” is exactly the sound your stomach makes when you’re hungry.
The OMAD diet dropout rate is around 65%.
When you follow the OMAD diet, your body will think that there are not enough resources due to the severe calorie restriction, sending it into “energy saving” mode. Meaning you are not burning fat, you are saving energy.
