1. Helps lose weight

The OMAD diet (OMAD stands for One Meal A Day) aims to limit the amount of food intake, helping the body burn excess fat in the body, leading to weight loss.

2. Improve type 2 diabetes

A study published in the World Journal of Diabetes found that patients with type II diabetes who practiced intermittent fasting were able to lose weight, reduce calorie intake, and lower glucose and insulin levels after meals.

3. May protect heart health

The biggest benefit of intermittent fasting is that it reduces visceral fat and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol, which improves heart health, as found in a study published in the Journal of Nutrition. The OMAD diet is intermittent fasting, so it may benefit heart health.

4. May reduce inflammation

Short-term fasting reduces inflammatory activity in the body. According to a study conducted by experts at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, fasting improves chronic inflammatory disorders while maintaining and mobilizing monocytes. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection.

5. Prevent weight gain

If you can follow the OMAD diet twice a week, you're less likely to regain the weight you lost, according to a study published in the journal Frontiers Physiology.
