One of the latest trends among celebrities is the “one meal a day” diet (or “Omad”).

Key Points: 
  • One of the latest trends among celebrities is the “one meal a day” diet (or “Omad”).
  • Omad is essentially a more extreme version of other types of fasting diets, such as intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating.

Fasting and health

    • Or they are based on the assumption that if other forms of fasting can benefit health, then Omad will too.
    • And it has other health benefits such as lowering blood pressure.
    • One review study also found that many different types of fasting (including intermittent fasting and fasting every other day) can improve several aspects of metabolism.

Just one meal

    • For half of the study, participants ate these calories in a single meal, before switching and eating their daily calories split into three meals per day.
    • When participants ate just one meal per day, they saw a greater reduction in their body weight and fat mass.
    • However, participants also had greater reductions in lean mass and bone density when eating just one meal a day.
    • It will also be interesting to know whether the timing of the meal can further improve the results and if the nutritional profile of the meal makes a difference.

Other downsides

    • Not getting enough of these important nutrients could lead to loss of muscle mass, risk of constipation and poor gut health.
    • For most of us, this kind of diet could be unsustainable – and potentially harmful in the long run.
