This podcast explores the pros and cons of following a one meal a day (OMAD) regimen for 30 days. The host highlights some risks, such as the possibility of nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss if the meal doesn't provide enough quality nutrients and protein. On the flip side, the benefits could include better insulin sensitivity, weight loss, cellular cleanup, and improved gut health from reduced inflammation and greater bacterial diversity. Ultimately, while OMAD can offer advantages for many, it's essential to consider personal circumstances—like being underweight, diabetic, pregnant, or very active—and to think about incorporating alternatives like intermittent fasting or fasting-mimicking diets to mitigate any potential downsides.
