                                According to a 2023 study published in the *Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics*, adults consuming only one meal per day face an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. This stark finding highlights the potential dangers of the one-meal-a-day (OMAD) diet, a popular form of intermittent fasting that restricts all daily calorie intake to a single hour-long window.
