The OMAD diet is an (extreme) form of fasting. You only eat once a day. The rest of the day you eat nothing.
On the homepage you can compare the OMAD diet with other diets.
The one meal per day has to be consumed within one hour. The rest of the day (23 hours), you have to fast. During these 23 hours you can drink water, tea, coffee or other drinks without calories.

This is an extreme diet. Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any) diet.
Examples of other fasting diets are the 8-hour diet, the 5:2 fasting diet, the 4:3 diet, the TRF diet and the dr. Ludidi method.
Another diet where you are allowed just one meal a day is the Simplest diet.
