OMAD, or one meal a day, is a more extreme version of intermittent fasting.

Beginners are recommended to start a 12/12 cycle and gradually move to a 16 hour fast and 8 hour eating window. Advanced fasting can go 20/4, but OMAD is typically the most extreme with one or fewer hours of eating a large meal.

As long as you’re having nutritious foods, eating enough calories (minimum of 8x body weight), taking a daily multivitamin to supplement any deficiencies, and drinking plenty of water throughout the day, OMAD is generally safe and effective.

A less extreme version of OMAD is the warrior diet; eat fruit, raw veggies and nuts in very small quantities throughout the day and have one large protein-based meal before bedtime.

Many studies have shown that intermittent fasting produces benefits that Fireman mentioned, including shedding dead or dying cells. Of course, there’s no money for the pharmaceutical companies with fasting or improving health through diet and exercise.
