So basically doing 16:8 or even OMAD intermittent fasting.

(16:8 is 16 hours fasting, and eating everything within 8 an hour stretch, OMAD is one meal a day).

There are quite a few health benefits to eating like this, even if one isn't overweight. Plus if one is a bit overweight, it really helps the weight come off. To burn fat, it turns out that it helps if we have longer periods with no food in our gut.


The One Meal A Day (OMAD) diet is too extreme and not recommended for people with health issues other than excess weight. A much better alternative is "Time-Restricted Feeding". Quite a bit of research done down here in Alabama (UAB). With TRF, there are benefits other than weight loss. There is plenty of information about "Time-Restricted Feeding/Eating" on the on the web. Back in January of 2018, all of the major networks carried a story about it on their national news.
