Different strokes for different folks.

Although the article advocates for eating breakfast, I found what works best for me was skipping breakfast, skipping lunch, and eating a single meal a day, also known as OMAD (one meal a day). For me, this intermittent fasting routine started back in July 2022, when I initially starting experimenting.

Net result: lost 20 pounds and 5 months later, glad to report not only has the weight stayed off but my (fasted) glucose levels dropped to below prediabetic levels (i.e. 99 mg/dL)



Exactly, I’ve done OMAD continuously for two years now and it has worked well for me. The only thing you should be looking at is it’s hard to get all your vitamins and minerals from one meal a day so make sure you take a multivitamin.
