Kang Min-kyung is the author of "Mara Yeop Tteok, Pyeong-naeng, Flatfish Gimbap, and Beef Beef Beef Sliced Beef Sliced Beef Ssam" released on YouTube channel 'Gang Ming-kyung' on the 10th. This works"In the video, various mukbangs such as beef brisket, beef sashimi, and ssam were presented. Kang Min-kyung, who continued the 'storm mukbang' "The day after eating this much, I am maintaining balance by doing one meal a day or doing aerobic exercise on an empty stomach." he said.
The OMAD (One Meal a Day) diet is conducted by eating only one meal a day and fasting the rest of the time, and generally eating food for only one hour after 23 hours of fasting.
It is known that the advantages of one meal a day are effective in weight loss by reducing total calorie intake, and can help improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar levels with long fasting. Studies have shown that 'self-propagation' is activated on an empty stomach to repair damaged cells and slow aging. There are also reports that it leads to improved concentration and cognitive ability.
However, if you eat only one meal a day, it is difficult to eat even nutrients, and concerns over a lack of vitamins and minerals increase. There is also a risk of leading to binge eating, and there is also a possibility of decreased digestive function and gastrointestinal disorders due to irregular meals. Rather, studies have shown that it can increase fasting blood sugar levels and delay insulin responses. In particular, it is known that fatigue, headache, dizziness, and hypoglycemia may be caused when it is first started. In addition, it is pointed out that long-term sustainability is difficult, so it is often given up in the middle, which can lead to a yo-yo phenomenon.
Therefore, a one-daily diet should fully consider the individual's health status and goals, and it is recommended to carefully observe the body's response after the start and adjust it if necessary. In particular, if you feel hypoglycemic symptoms or fatigue, it is recommended to stop immediately. In addition, growing children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with diabetes or other blood sugar disorders should refrain from eating one meal per day.
