Experts Explain Effects of Calorie Restriction and One-Meal-A-Day Diets on Weight
Calorie-restricted diets, including intermittent fasting and very low-calorie plans, aim to reduce energy intake to promote weight loss by using stored fat. Experts note that while these diets can be effective short-term, maintaining weight loss requires sustainable habits. Eating one meal a day (OMAD) does not inherently slow metabolism; metabolic rate depends on factors like total calorie intake, activity, and health. Weight gain occurs when calorie consumption exceeds energy use, not simply from meal frequency or fasting patterns.
