Understanding the Risks of One Meal a Day and Exploring Healthier Alternatives

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down why doing OMAD (One Meal a Day) long-term can slow your metabolism, disrupt hormones, and stall fat loss. He explains how chronic caloric restriction can cause thyroid suppression, muscle loss, and elevated cortisol, leading to fat gain—especially around the belly.
