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.

And so what you are essentially doing is you are making that progressive loss of muscle, which is sarcopenia. It exacerbates that. It magnifies it. And so if you look at all the longevity researchers versus the individuals like Dr. Don Lehman, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, who were very big proponents of

consuming adequate protein to offset sarcopenia frailty falls etc you start to understand that ultimately you decide for yourself which path you want to take and as someone who's as both as a clinician and as a an individual watching people that are doing omad over time you know watching people track their macros talk to us in programs talk to us in one-on-one environments

consistently what I see happening is this progressive loss of muscle. The loss of muscle leads to not just frailty over time, but also leads to a loss of insulin sensitivity. So really understanding that our muscles are a metabolic sink and helping people understand that you're not getting enough protein into your diet. You are just going to worsen that unraveling of this loss of muscle.

I'm a very visual person, so I always like to provide comparisons. So young, healthy muscle looks like filet. We all know what that looks like. Versus a delicious ribeye, still equally delicious, but it has a lot of marbling. It has a lot of fat infiltration. That is what older muscle looks like. We want to remain looking like a filet over time.

So my concern about OMAD is, number one, if it's an occasional thing, not a big deal. You've overindulged. You came back from vacation. You just ate too much. That's very different than a sustained OMAD effort. And there are people in the health and wellness space that do OMAD in perpetuity, many of whom have lost a significant amount of weight. And I don't want to take away from that.

But I also don't think in many instances they're really fully understanding the long-term impact of that loss of muscle. It is significant and quite profound. And so that is always where my concern goes is, you know, are you getting enough protein? Can you get 100 grams of protein in a meal? I can't. I'm sure there are people out there that might be able to.
