Celebrities have popularized all sorts of outlandish diet trends over the years. One of the latest trends among celebrities is the “Omad” diet. Instead of only fasting certain days or only eating your meals during a specific time window, people following Omad eat all their day’s calories in one single, large meal.
这些年来，明星们推动了各种古怪的饮食潮流。名人中最近流行的一种饮食是“Omad”饮食。与只在特定的日子里禁食或只在特定的时间内进食不同，Omad的人在一顿大餐中摄入了一天中所有的卡路里。
One study so far has looked at the effect of Omad in humans. In this study, participants were given the same number of calories to eat each day for the study’s duration. For half of the study, participants ate these calories in a single meal, before switching and eating their daily calories split into three meals per day. Each meal pattern was only followed for an 11-day period — not very long at all. The one meal was taken between 5 pm and 7 pm. Only 11 participants completed the study.
到目前为止，一项研究观察了Omad对人类的影响。在这项研究中，参与者在研究期间每天摄入相同数量的卡路里。在一半的研究中，参与者在一顿饭中摄入这些卡路里，然后将每天的卡路里分成三顿吃。每一种饮食模式只被遵循了11天——一点也不长。这一餐是在下午5点到7点之间吃的。只有11名参与者完成了这项研究。
When participants ate just one meal per day, they saw a greater reduction in their body weight and fat mass. However, participants also had greater reductions in lean mass and bone density (密度) when eating just one meal a day. This could lead to reduced muscle function and greater risk of bone fractures (骨折) if the diet was to be followed for a longer period. But animal studies looking at the effects of Omad have shown ____▲____ results, with research showing mice who ate one large meal a day actually gained more weight compared to those who ate multiple meals.
当参与者每天只吃一顿饭时，他们的体重和脂肪量都减少了很多。然而，当参与者每天只吃一顿饭时，他们的瘦体重和骨密度也减少了更多。如果长期遵循这种饮食，可能会导致肌肉功能下降，骨折的风险更大。但是观察Omad效果的动物研究已经显示了____▲____结果，研究表明，每天吃一顿大餐的老鼠实际上比吃多顿饭的老鼠体重增加得更多。
While these results may indicate that Omad could have benefits for some aspects of health, there’s still a lot we don’t know about it. It will be important for future studies to investigate the effect of Omad in a larger number of participants and in other groups of people (as this study only included lean, young adults). It will also be important for studies to look at the effect of Omad over a longer period of time, and to conduct these trials in a real-life setting.
虽然这些结果可能表明Omad可能对健康的某些方面有好处，但我们仍有很多不了解的地方。对于未来的研究来说，在更多的参与者和其他人群中调查Omad的影响将是很重要的。在更长的一段时间内观察Omad的效果，并在现实环境中进行这些试验，这对研究也很重要。
