No gyms or fancy diets: Actor R Madhavan's 21-Day weight loss method is surprisingly easy, and effective

From superstar Shahrukh Khan to Karan Johar practicing it, the OMAD has become a popular diet trend. From promising weight loss to age reversal effects, One Meal a Day (OMAD) is living up to the hype. But does this extreme version of intermittent fasting really live up to Science?

A recent study involving 20,000 adults reveals that limiting meals to an eight-hour window increases the risk of cardiovascular death. Moderate 10-12 hour fasting windows are safer, offering metabolic benefits without excessive strain. Experts advise caution, especially for those with existing health conditions, emphasizing a balanced diet and consulting healthcare professionals for personalized guidance.

A 12-week trial reveals that overweight and obese adults on a calorie-restricted diet experienced significantly greater fat loss when incorporating moderate walking. The diet-plus-walking group lost 6.4 kg of fat mass, compared to 4.8 kg in the diet-only group, alongside improved insulin sensitivity. This highlights walking's effectiveness as a low-cost, accessible exercise for enhanced weight loss and metabolic health.
