1. Helps with weight loss
The OMAD diet (OMAD stands for One Meal A Day) aims to limit food intake, helping the body burn excess fat, 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 post-meal glucose and insulin levels.
3. May protect cardiovascular health.
The biggest benefit of intermittent fasting is that it reduces visceral fat and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol, which improves cardiovascular health, as found in a study published in the Journal of Nutrition. The OMAD diet is intermittent fasting, therefore it can be beneficial for cardiovascular 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 urgently mobilizing monocytes. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection.
5. Prevent weight regain.
If you can follow the OMAD diet twice a week, you're less likely to regain the weight you've lost, according to a study published in the Journal of Frontiers in Physiology.
