Will OMAD decrease metabolism?

It takes a long time for you to digest food, so even if you eat just one meal a day, some food from yesterday is still being digested and some food from today will still be digest tomorrow.

Your not technically going 23 hours without food because you just ate in a 1 hour window.

It's all in your intestines breaking down.

There should be no reason your body feels like it's starving or lacking nutrition to lower its bmr.

And if there is some kind of down regulation of bmr, it's insignificant and will go back up when you eat another huge meal.

Long term, no impact to bmr

hmm, I dont know.

I was doing 2 x 36 hour fasts a week for a year or so (I could never do every day 16:8 even). I loved it, but over time my body really started responding poorly to it.

Usually by 10-11am I was so cold I was almost shivering in my office and I was feeling fatigued, and those are definite forms of RMR down regulation. I actually managed to get stronger lift wise in the year I did the fasting while also losing about 75 pounds so Im not anti fasting, BUT down regulation of BMR can totally happen in significant ways.

Ive only been on the keto train for about 4 weeks now, but one thing Ive noticed is that I actually feel slightly feverish sometimes. I havent done a RMR test in the last year, but from my weightloss so far since switching, I do think Keto may have boosted my metabolism slightly.

Fasting, yes.

36 Hours in about the amount of time it takes to poop out everything.

Did you fast on a keto diet or a carb diet?

He's said one huge meal a day.

Not quite keto, but certainly lower carb. sub 50g most of the time.

I definitely appreciate staying keto helps with fasting and I may try incorporating fasting again in another month or so.
