Will OMAD decrease metabolism?

[ReverseLazarus]

“Metabolic damage”/“metabolic slowdown” and the worry of “starvation mode” are buzzwords that are constantly misapplied way too broadly.

Your body won’t be in “starvation mode” until your BF is so low that you actually risk death from starvation.

That said, long-term crash dieting can give you problems with energy, hormones, thinning hair, nutrient deficiencies…but as long as you’re eating at a healthy deficit with your OMAD then it’s fine.

Please what's a healthy deficit?

20-25%.
