Yeah. And I think it's also it's one of those things like my husband and I laugh about this because he's a former college athlete. He thinks he doesn't ever have to track anything. And I said, I actually want you to track for an entire week. So I know exactly how much protein you're consuming.

To his credit, he was getting plenty of protein, but he was surprised about the carbohydrates, how much carbohydrate he was consuming. And he was finding that when he looked at the data over time, he's like, when do I eat the most of my carbs? Friday and Saturday night. And so it was like, okay, are you not eating enough food on Friday? Or are you just allowing yourself to indulge?

It just builds that awareness so that you can get back on track if you need to. It's not designed to be punitive. And I think that's sometimes the common misconception is that tracking is designed to be punitive. And I'm like, oh, no, we're just data mining. We are just information gathering. And I think that that allows us to make better decisions overall.

And I think all of us have opportunities where we have things we need to clean up. I'm going through that myself right now. I'm like, OK, time to get back on the saddle.

Yeah. So OMAD means one meal a day. And I think that, again, it also gets kind of lumped in with the intermittent fasting community, that that is, you know, a strategy, one of many strategies that you can utilize. I think my greatest concerns about OMAD, and I've been very open about this from the very beginning, is it's the concept of food intake over time.

Now, if you go on vacation and you come home, you're like, I just totally, you know, enjoyed myself, indulged in everything. I'm coming back home and I'm going to get back on track and I'm going to have a day of one meal a day so that I can kind of reset myself and move forward.

That is very different than most individuals that are doing OMAD and they're barely getting close to their protein threshold for the day. So my concern over time is that, yes, a lot of people want to do OMAD because they want to lose weight. They're like, this will be effective. I'm not going to be hungry for a second meal. I don't need a second meal.

And then helping them understand is that over time, if you start tracking those macros, at least with my female patients, that what I start to see is someone who's eating 50, 60 grams of of protein per day. And over time, what are the things that happen after the age of 40? This progressive loss of muscle.
