The author, Amanda Avery, starts the piece by writing “One of the latest trends among celebrities is the "one meal a day" diet (or "OMAD").
Fans of OMAD include Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay front-man Chris Martin. Many proponents of OMAD claim it helps them better manage their weight and keep fit.” Although a fad in the affluent West, it is, in many parts of the world, as a result of poverty, an unescapable way of life. But, is it as healthy as many self-proclaimed health and lifestyle experts would have you believe?
OMAD is essentially a more extreme version of other types of fasting diets, such as intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating. The main difference is that instead of only fasting on certain days, or only eating your meals during a specific time window, people following OMAD eat all their day's calories in one single, large meal. But while supporters of OMAD say that following the diet improves many aspects of health, we actually know very little about what effect eating just one meal a day has on the body – let alone if it's safe. Evidence supporting the use of OMAD is limited. Very few studies have actually looked at OMAD itself – and most of those that have were conducted in animals. As such, most of the claims that OMAD works are anecdotal, or they assume that if other forms of fasting can benefit health, then OMAD will too. Research into fasting diets is still emerging, some evidence indicates that one form of intermittent fasting known as the "5:2 diet" may help people better manage their weight. 5:2 is where a person eats normally five days a week (normally being not in a caloric deficit), then 800 calories or less two days a week). However, the author believes this diet is no better than other dietary approaches. Research has also found that time-restricted eating (where you eat all your day's calories within a specific window of time) can help people better manage their weight. This intermittent fasting approach has other health benefits too, such as lowering blood pressure. One review study found that many different types of fasting (including intermittent fasting and fasting every other day) can improve several aspects of metabolism. These include improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation levels, and helping people better regulate their appetite. This, in turn, may help reduce a person's risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
To date, only one study has looked at the effect of eating one meal a day in humans. In this study, the 11 participants (5 men and 6 women) were given the same number of calories to eat each day for the study's duration, the study lasted for 11 days.
