OMAD (one meal per day) has many benefits, compared to a regular diet of 3 to 5 meals per day:

- Autophagy* kicks in, and runs for many hours each day
- Less inflammatory processes
- Stable insulin levels, for most of the day
- Makes it easy to lose weight
- Makes it easy to stop sugar-addiction
- Saves a lot of time
- Has all benefits of fasting, while still eating daily
- You can really pig out, when going for dinner with friends in a restaurant, while still losing weight


* Means that you burn all sorts of unwanted trash in your body. Stuff thats clogging up artherias, visceral fat, muscle-knots, and even cancerous cells etc


Problems:
- It's not impossible, but pretty hard to gain weight on OMAD
- Your metabolism will maybe slow down, if you do it for too long without breaks.

From months of typing everything I eat into a macro tracker app, I can't see how it matters.
OMAD is ultimately a lazy way to take in less calories for the day.

Keto vs non-keto is a huge deal if pre-diabetic but completely meaningless if not.
"Calories in, calories out bro!" if not pre-diabetic.

I like keto with one re-feed of steak, 50 cal cheese singles and keto bread a week. As much as I want.

Outside of that, 3500 caloric deficit is a bitch and it doesn't matter how you shuffle the deck.

I assume though that autophagy is a modern form of phlogiston but could be wrong. I just can't see how it matters either way.

I can gain weight eating OMAD, easilly.

Didn't you hear the latest? King OMAD, Dr. Peter Attia, no longer recommends nor does OMAD. Time for you to go back to the carnie thread.

Some doctor says no...

But Professor Bart Kay says yes, do OMAD and eat carnivore!

Titles like Doctor and Professor are way overrated by general public, because literally anyone who studied and wants them can get them. Said a close friend of mine, who is Doctor and Professor in medicine himself.

Weight is all about Hormones and hormonal control... eating in a compressed time schedule will indeed help control those hormones and especially Insulin... which is critical and the determining factor in sugars being stored or burned.

intermittent fasting is the key.

I've been eating OMAD for a while now, and I only eat once (I don't eat in a 4 hour window, to me that's not even OMAD. I eat everything in one sitting, so every 24 hours). I'm never hungry, even right before the time I eat. I see people at the poker table pulling out granola bars, bananas, or they have to run away for an hour to "go eat". It's such a nice feeling not to be addicted to food like everyone else is.

When I was eating the SAD diet, I was still eating one meal a day (since I played poker all day and ate late at night around 11pm) but I was eating all the wrong things. Of course I gained weight but who knows if I would of gained more if I spread my meals out.

Doctors aren't "Gods", even though we were brought up to believe we have to listen to whatever the "doctor says".

Doctors were trained to write scripts and put us back together when we're broken (which our health system is very good at knock on wood), but they're horrible at long term health and wellness. They're still telling people to eat a low fat low salt SAD diet.

What 2+2 needs is a Health & Fitness page.

Oof, OOT!

Dr. Schu entering the convo.

Last week you said this:

You're not really allowed to quote posts from other threads, but I'll answer it before it gets deleted.

You asked me how I gained weight (and I appreciate your curiosity and sincere concern). I ate the SAD, 2 to 3 meals per day with snacks for most of my life until around 7 years ago when I mostly ate OMAD. I still gained wight on OMAD until I went on keto, then full carnivore. I hope this helps with your research.

I have no idea if quoting a post from a concurrent thread (by the same poster about the same topic) is allowed or not, but I just wanted to use your exact words so that I wouldn't be accused of "spinning/twisting" your words.

He made a new thread because he got exposed in the other. Hilarious.

Of course you can quote posts from other threads.

Here's an example and for the record:

It's just PMs that you're by convention not allowed to quote here.

lolololollllll
