[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^because there's no way you are getting the necessary, probably even the minimal, amounts of protein, minerals, nutrients, and fiber that you need daily. There's just no way

Weight is only small part of the picture when it comes to your overall Health and Longevity. The obsession with it to the exclusion of all else is mind boggling[/quote]

Why no way? One meal a day can be nutritionally balanced. NP but I do one meal a day that’s 1500-1800 calories. When I eat three meals a day I can easily put away2500 calories or more no problem as a 5’7 female which is why I’m overweight. It’s sooo much easier for me to eat fewer calories eating one meal a day.

OP might be undereating though. [/quote]

OMAD is in fashion right now among fitness people and habitual dieters (just like intermittent fasting).  It's a way to get in fewer calories (duh).  But most of those people track their macros to make sure they are getting in enough protein and a minimum amount of fat, in addition to supplementing with things like fish oil.  Doubt OP is doing this.   [/quote]

It's really a thing among "fitness people"? I consider myself a "fitness person" and I couldn't imagine performing well in a hard workout if I hadn't eaten for hour and hours. This kind of diet seems incompatible with fitness.[/quote]

NP. It can be. Your body just has to adjust. Earlier this year I became determined to lose my baby weight (about 30 lbs) and I signed up for a half marathon for added motivation. I found myself only eating one meal a day not intentionally but because I was so busy at home at with DB. I just wouldn't have a chance to eat. Then when my DH would get home, I'd go workout. So sometimes all I could fit in was a couple light snacks before I'd leave to go workout. After a while, it just became normal for me and I wouldn't even be hungry. But now that I'm back at work I just can't go an entire day without eating so my solution so far has been to have a big breakfast and a small lunch and dinner. I lost the 30 lbs btw :) [/quote]
