Khloe Kardashian's health and weight loss was a critical topic discussed on a new preview of Hulu's The Kardashians released Thursday.
The trailer documentedKhloe, 38, receiving treatment for a tumor on her facewhich was linked to melanoma, a type of skin cancer which she has dealt with in the past.
In one instance, Khloe's significant weight loss was discussed as she balanced fighting the ailment while parenting young children.
Kendall Jenner, 27, said of Khloe, 'She doesn't sleep, she lost a lot weight,' as scenes of Khloe with her newborn son and at a doctor's office were shown in the clip.
Khloe's extreme weight loss has prompted fans to speculate she is on Hollywood's favorite new diet drug Ozempic, although she has denied using it.
In the preview, Khloe is seen discussing her health with sister Kylie Jenner, 25, after their mother Kris Jenner, 67, informed her of what Khloe was dealing with.
'Mom just told me that it's melanoma,' Kylie told Khloe in the preview.
In a sequence in whichKhloe was seen sporting a huge bandage on her face, Kris was heard saying, 'This on her face is very concerning.'
Khloe confidante Malika Haqq, 40, was seen telling Khloe in the clip that she hasn't seen her 'this low' in a while.
Khloe was candid about her concerns of a serious health battle in the clip, saying,'Melanoma is deadly - this was way more serious than I anticipated it to be.'
Khloe previously had melanoma on her back at age 19 and she had to have surgery to remove it then.
In October 2022, she took to Instagram Stories to explain the bandage on her face after fans began asking what it was for.
She said she had to undergo an 'immediate operation' by doctors after she had the lingering bump checked out. After a biopsy came back with news that it was melanoma, the doctors said it needed to be removed.
At the time, Khloe said the margins appear clear and she was focused on her healing process.
Also in the trailer, Khloe was asked about her relationship with baby daddy and love rat Tristan Thompson, whom she has been on and off with over the years.
Scott Disick asked her the question over dinner: 'How's everything going with Tristan. Where do you guys stand?'
'I think he thinks, lets just ride this out but no, no chances,' Khloe said.
He had another child with Houston trainer Maralee Nichols despite him knowingly having a second child via surrogacy with Khloe.
Maralee welcomed Tristan's third child in December 2021, one month after the Khloe and Tristan's surrogate was implanted by their fertilized embryo.
Khloe and Tristan's second child was born in July 2022, via surrogacy; they are parents to daughter True, five, together and the basketball player, 32, has a son with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig named Prince, six.
The Kardashians will be launching on Disney+ on May 25th.

Fears for Khloe Kardashian amid her extreme weight loss: Star's sisters admit to health concerns - Daily Mail
AFTER just four nights in the Im A CelebritySouth Africa camp, first evictee Shaun Ryder never got the chance to lose weight on the shows famous rice and beans diet.
But today the Happy Mondays hellraiser has revealed he is now two stone lighter - thanks to controversial drug Ozempic.

The years havent been too kind on Shaun since his first stint in 2020s camp, when he came runner-up to Stacey Solomon - something he is all too aware of.
In an exclusive chat, Shaun said: Being 60 with hip problems, thyroid problems, f**king testosterone problems and everything else.
People have noticed I don't have any f**king eyebrows and eyelashes, from my alopecia.
Basically, you know, the jungle slapped me right across the face and said calm down mate.
My thyroid is underactive, so it doesn't matter if you just eat lettuce youll still be f**king fat but since I did the jungle Ive lost a load of weight.
I think I was 16 Stone and now I'm down to 14 because of them jabs you stick in your belly, that they say the Kardashians are on? Ozempic. I've been on them and Ive lost two stone.
The use of appetite-suppressing jabs like Ozempic has swept through Hollywood, with a number of stars including Kim and Khloe Kardashian alleged to have used them for extreme weight loss.
The drug, however, is legitimately prescribed for use by patients struggling with obesity due to diabetes and thyroid conditions - like Shaun.
Makers say Ozempic is for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise and use ofthe drugas a weight-management medication would be considered off-label.
Shaun is one of the first celebrities worldwide to speak openly about taking Ozempic, alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Elon Musk and US comedian Chelsea Handler.
The advancement has been a godsend, enabling Shaun to get back to his much-loved cycling, which he has credited in the past for helping him stay clean from drug use.

So he takes a dim view on skinny celebrities taking it to get even thinner.
Shaun went on: Ultimately its up to them but theres probably a lot of body issues going on there. I think most of the Kardashians need professional help.
For me its great; I actually get a bit of energy from it so now we're back to cycling.
It means Shaun is a different man to that which viewers will have seen in ITVs latest version of Im A Celebrity, which united an all star cast of favourites in Kruger National Park for a series that was pre recorded last September.
On Friday, he became the first celebrity out in a Survival Trial after a week dogged by health issues.
He commented: I was in the wars really so it was for the best I left.
I was 12 years older with a lot of f**king s*** going on.
Im a CelebritySouth Africa continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Diet culture is once again a topic of conversation at the Met Gala. While hosting Vogue's red carpet live stream at the Met Museum on May 1, Chloe Fineman interviewed Emily Blunt, asking, "How are you feeling? Are you one stomach flu away from your goal weight?" Fineman's comment was in reference to "The Devil Wears Prada," in which Blunt's character, Emily, constantly stresses about her diet and weight throughout the film.
Though a direct quote from the movie, it's certainly a choice, particularly during an event that's often criticized for promoting diet culture in its many pervasive and toxic manifestations. In fact, at last year's Met Gala, Kim Kardashian drew criticism for repeatedly emphasizing her extreme weight loss to fit into Marilyn Monroe's exact "Happy birthday, Mr. President" dress from 1962.
Not to mention, Fineman's remark set off an uncomfortable interview, with Blunt responding that she actually ate a pizza the night prior. "I'm thinking, I'm covered up, so I'll be alright, and then I tried to put my skinny pants on," she said, wearing a lace top embellished with floral and sequined trousers. "It's looking pretty skinny-pant to me," Fineman responded.
Regardless of whether the "The Devil Wears Prada" reference was obvious, Twitter users immediately expressed their disappointment around the comment. "Did Chloe Fineman really just ask Emily Blunt if she is 'one more stomach flu away from her goal weight?'" one user wrote, while another tweeted, "Chloe Fineman asking Emily Blunt if she's one stomach flu away from her goal weight. I know it's a quote . . . but how is she supposed to respond??"
1000-LB. Sisters star Tammy Slaton's drooping skin needs cutting and stitching back up when her weight loss plateaus, a plastic surgeon has said.
But he warns that if the TLC star gains weight after any lengthy and pricy surgical skin removal treatments, it'll all be a waste of time.
Since making her debut 1000-Lb. Sisters in January 2020, Tammy Slaton lost a massive 300 pounds in weight.
The 36-year-old once tipped the scales at 717 pounds, and through the first three seasons, she was filmed managing her food addiction.
During season four, TLC began charting Tammys second stint at an Ohio food rehab clinic and her ongoing weight loss battle.
Kentucky-based Tammy followed up with gastric bypass surgery in June.
Now weighing around 400 pounds, Tammy posted a couple of post-surgery selfies on her Instagram feed recently.
These showed a close-up of her slimmed-down face - but the full effects of her weight loss meant Tammy's skin drooped under her neck.
One follower commented: "What's wrong with her neck? Is it something medical or excess loose skin due to weight loss?"
Another said: "Its been amazing seeing your consistency within your health journey. Soon enough youll be approved for skin removal and just know we are all rooting for you! Proud of you!"
Loose skin is usually caused by losing lots of weight quickly and is said to happen more to weight-loss surgery patients.
One way to get rid of the excess skin is via plastic surgery.
In an exclusive interview, plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Westreich told The U.S. Sun: If you lose around 100 pounds or more like Tammy has, then you wind up with extra skin.
After the initial extreme weight loss, skin presents underneath the chin as seen in Tammys Instagram photos.
After bariatric surgery and extreme weight loss, its usual to have extra skin, since it cant shrink enough.
The fat loss and the extra skin are no different than wearing old clothes.
Obviously your clothes from when you were heavier will hang off your body, and skin is no different.
Skin can shrink, but only by a variable degree.
If you put your clothes in the dryer and shrink them, theyll only shrink so much and can be still too big.
Most patients like Tammy would probably get a lot of issues with the arms and the lower abdomen.
"She would have issues with the legs - with the skin above the knees.
Usual skin tightening procedures wouldnt work in these instances.
For Tammys face, she would get a facelift or a direct neck lift where you cut out skin from the center of the neck before closing it up.
A neck lift would take between four to five hours and cost around $35,000.
For Tammys lower abdomen, this procedure would be abdominoplasty, which takes two to three hours and costs around $20,000.
For the knees, she would need a leg lift, which could take two hours and cost around $15,000.
The skin on Tammys arms would be taken care of by a Brachioplasty.
"This can take two hours and cost around $15,000 to remove the extra skin."
This totals $85,000 - and the doctor warns it could be wasted money.
He says: If she gains weight again after any skin surgeries, the skin will stretch again and shell be back to where she started.
During her years of food addiction, Tammy endured two rehab stays before undergoing gastric bypass surgery - or bariatric surgery - in June.
This is an operation on the digestive system which helps people lose weight quickly in extreme situations.
It works by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, meaning it takes less food to make you feel full and you'll absorb fewer calories from the food you eat.
In previous scenes during season 4, Tammy reached her goal weight of 550 pounds to allow her to get the surgery.
But after weighing in at 534 pounds, within months the reality star was spotted heading back to her home after a trip to McDonald's.
Tammy has also been seen out on her scooter, vaping, and shopping for Twinkies and other treats at Walmart with her sister Amy.
Dr, Westreich said: Most patients that undergo bariatric procedures get a lot of counseling for the skin area as well.
Tammy would have expected this type of sagging skin."
However, Tammy cannot get a skin tightening operation until her weight has "equalized."
Dr. Westreich said: This means waiting until youre evened down and not losing a significant amount of weight anymore.
That time frame is different for everybody.
The entire process is hard for patients because youre also treating obesity.
If you've lost several hundred pounds, its really worth it having to manage all this.
The surgeon would usually do a reasonable amount of the skin surgeries together.
"They may not do all of them but, usually, they would do the abdominoplasty, leg lift, and maybe the arms.
"The face usually gets done separately.
"The main scarring would be on the arms as that's the hardest one to hide.
"The chin or face scar will be obviously visible, but that's usually pretty well hidden.
"I don't think any of these skin surgeries are particularly difficult.
"I think that the arm lift would leave the worst scar that's very visible for Tammy.
From a recovery standpoint, the abdominoplasty and the leg lifts would probably be two to three weeks of recovery.
With regards to infections of the skin in the meantime, there wouldnt be any more risk.
Tammy wouldnt be getting any more skin infections with the rolls of skin she has than when she was heavier.

At a time when the latest trends are at our fingertips, it is easy to get caught up in the ideals of a perfect appearance. With makeup techniques, dieting methods and exercise tutorials, it seems like the world, at least online, is constantly focused on how you look.
The convenience of knowing your apparent flaws can be detrimental. While society has been raising awareness for those struggling with their mental health, it is essential to consider the effects of beauty standards on the mind.
Our health is precious to us, undeniably more than our appearances should be, yet approximately 35 percent of adults feel depressed due to their body image. A negative body image can also trigger anxiety and eating or mood disorders.
Toxic beauty standards damage the U.S. economy, costing approximately $806 billion due to body dissatisfaction and appearance-based discrimination, according to a study by Dove. While something as superficial-sounding as beauty standards may seem insignificant, their impact is undeniable.
But why are we not doing anything about those billions of dollars spent on rehabilitation? Why is society unwilling to relinquish standards based on colorism, racism and classism?
Because we continue to see it every day in the age of social media and cutting-edge technology, the media consistently influences our daily decisions. Seeing celebrities that fit and reinforce unrealistic expectations takes a significant toll on the average person.
We do not want to see the image of what we should look like.
A simple yet prominent example is the lack of inclusivity of skin tones in basic makeup products. Beauty standards have catered toward lighter tones and white features for hundreds of years, but why are we still unable to see all beauty brands marketing products for all skin tones?
Fenty Beauty, Rihanna's makeup line, has especially stood out with its inclusivity in makeup. Not only does it offer a wide shade range but it also takes undertones into account, dramatically changing the products' usability.
It is essential to note, though, that this change in skin tone ranges happened after years of color-based discrimination. Makeup is considered an enhancer of beauty, but products sold with discriminatory values only contribute to these unrealistic standards.
Young girls and women see fashion models that exhibit features that are praised by the media and realize their incapability to live up to those standards. They begin to have negative views of their bodies and faces.
Recently, corporations have been jumping on the bandwagon about embracing who you are by launching campaigns related to body image, self-confidence and mental health.
While companies use these methods as marketing tactics to boost their credibility, specific reports recognize the existence of toxic beauty standards.
For example, the #DetoxYourFeed campaign by Dove encourages consumers to inspire young individuals to steer clear of negative opinions about themselves. A step-by-step guide on detoxification mentions that "comparing yourself to people online can be problematic as many posts can be digitally distorted, professionally produced and far from real life."
Similarly, the rise of social media in recent years has given people false perceptions of reality regarding body image and overall appearance. You are probably familiar with celebrities being scrutinized for editing Instagram photos in particular ways to exemplify beauty standards.
Celebrities are hailed as the perfect representation of current ideals, such as Kim Kardashian, who was criticized for glorifying extreme weight loss by wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress at the 2022 Met Gala.
People realized the extent to which celebrities will go to fit into a dress or, more importantly, to reinforce the idea of achieving a flawless appearance.
Celebrities that endorse particular diets that easily change the appearance of someone's body end up influencing people toward something that could possibly harm them in the long run.
In a 2017 study conducted on anorexia, researchers found that dieting becomes uncontrollable and repetitive, leading to less than 50 percent of individuals making a full recovery.
In reality, people suffer from mental health conditions due to societal standards, whether they seem superficial or not.
Beauty is pursued at a cost, often in an attempt to fit harmful stereotypes.
We have moved toward accepting and understanding that people differ in appearance. Let us continue to embrace diversity. There is so much more to us than how we look.

Anorexia and cachexia patients frequently experience nausea and loss of appetite. Anorexia nervosa, sometimes referred to as anorexia, is an eating disorder that can be fatal and causes extreme weight loss. An unusually low body weight and a strong dread of gaining weight define this eating disorder. A person with anorexia may drastically restrict their food intake, go on a starvation diet, vomit after meals, or engage in extreme activity to prevent weight gain.
Numerous issues can arise from anorexia, including anaemia, heart issues, bone and muscle loss (osteoporosis), gastrointestinal and kidney issues, abnormal electrolytes, and even death. Amenorrhea, (absence of the menstrual cycle) or the lack of a menstrual period, is a common symptom among anorexic girls. According to a study presented online on August 17 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, they might also have stunted growth.
For the study, 255 girls with anorexia nervosa who were admitted to the hospital were examined. Both throughout their hospitalisation and whenever they reached maturity, they measured their height. When compared to the genetic potential determined by the height of their parents, the womens adult height was found to be significantly shorter.
The study also revealed that reduced height is a marker for additional anorexia nervosa side effects, including issues with subsequent pregnancy and delivery, bone health, and cognitive function. In order to assist patients achieve their full height potential, the researchers stress the need of early and intense intervention aimed at normalising body weight. This may lead to enhanced development.
Girls and women are more likely to develop anorexia. But eating disorders are becoming more prevalent in boys and men, perhaps as a result of mounting social pressure.
Teenagers are also more likely to have anorexia. Although its uncommon in people over 40, this eating disorder can still occur in people of any age. Due to all the changes their bodies go through during puberty, teenagers may be more vulnerable. Additionally, they might experience more peer pressure and be more sensitive to criticism or even innocuous remarks about their weight or body type.
Anorexia includes both emotional and physical symptoms on body.Starvation is a factor in the anorexia nervosa physical signs and symptoms. Along with emotional and behavioural problems, anorexia also involves an erroneous perception of body weight and a crippling fear of putting on weight or getting fat.
Because what is considered a low body weight varies from person to person and some people may not appear extremely thin, it may be challenging to identify the signs and symptoms. Additionally, anorexics frequently conceal their physical issues, eating patterns, and thinness. Some of the physical symptoms may include: Extreme weight,reduction or failing to put on the necessary developmental weight, A thin frame Unusual blood counts, Fatigue Insomnia, fainting or vertigo, finger discoloration that is bluish, thinning, damaged, or lost hair, The body is covered with soft, downy hair, absence of menstruation.

Khloe, 38, posted a photo of herself next to Kourtney, 44, who was wearing a "birthday girl" headband.
In the film photos, Khloe picked up her older sister and twirled around.
However, Khloe's ripped jeans appeared to be barely hanging on her hips.
Khloe has reportedly dropped 40 pounds since 2014 and has been showing off her fit frame in recent posts.
On Wednesday, Khloe's clothing brand,Good American, held an "EVERY BODY" panel featuring modelAshley Graham - and Kourtney dressed in a skintight dress and drowned in an oversized blazer.
However, fans have been concerned over her shrinking frame.
Khloe has been hitting up the gym, and she showed off hershrinking butt and teeny stomachin new posts.
Last month, many fanscommented on Khloe's figureafter she posted a video of her in the gym.
As the clip circulated on the internet, one fan wrote: Khloe looks scary skinnynow! Her ribs are out!
Another concerned fan wrote: "I think its a mixture of weight loss, editing, and sucking in."
A third chimed in: "What stood out to me the most lately was the skinniness of her arms and around the shoulders.
"In this photo again her arms just look extremely thin. Forearms are bigger than upper arms."

1000-LB. Sisters star Tammy Slaton's meal choices suggest she has relapsed in her obesity struggle and needs to return to treatment, a bariatric psychologist has said.
And she claims the 36-year-old could be managing Dumping Syndrome after downing fatty fast food after gastric bypass surgery.
Over the past year, Tammy Slaton has lost a massive 300 pounds in weight.
This has been helped along with food rehabilitation stays and, more recently, gastric bypass surgery.
The TLC star previously tipped the scales at 700 pounds.
Tammy has also managed health issues on her extreme weight loss journey, including diabetes, breathing issues, and falling into two comas.
Previously on TLC, Tammy admitted to downing eight bottles of liquor per week.
In June, Tammy underwent potentially life-changing bariatric surgery in Lexington, Kentucky.
She followed this by returning to her Ohio weight rehab center for recovery - where she met and married her husband, Caleb.
Bariatric surgery, also known as gastric bypass surgery, is an operation that helps people lose weight quickly and in extreme situations.
It works by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, meaning it takes less food to make you feel full and you'll absorb fewer calories from the food you eat.
Within months of leaving rehab, on April 9, Tammy was spotted with a McDonald's bag.
While the 1000-Lb. Sister's weight loss journey was documented on TLC during its fourth season, Tammy was seen vaping while riding her scooter, holding her oxygen tank.
An insider also saw Tammy and her sister Amy, 35, at their local Walmart shopping for Twinkies and chips.
In an exclusive interview, licensed psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman Ph.D. told The U.S. Sun: Obesity is a disease and Tammy needs to manage this for the rest of her life.
The bariatric surgery she had is a treatment for obesity, but its not a cure.
"Tammy shouldn't wait to get other treatment and needs support as soon as possible.
Weight recurrence is also common and therefore one has to consider a combination of treatments in order to continue to manage obesity.
Given the latest images, Id recommend that Tammy return to her surgical center and follow up with her surgical team.
She could see a behavioral health provider to assist her in working through her challenges and coming up with a plan.
Most programs have support groups that can be helpful.
Tammy can meet with her dietitian who can assist her in coming up with a food plan that works better for her.
One issue is that if Tammy eats high-fat and/or high-sugar foods there's a possibility she could be suffering 'Dumping Syndrome.'
"While only some people get this, it's where you can suffer flu-like symptoms after eating these food types.
People need a lot of support after surgery and for this reason.
People can experience vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and dizziness when the food dumps too quickly into the small intestine.
"This happens as the food isnt digested properly.
Previously, to guarantee bariatric surgery, Tammy had to hit a specific weight.
The TLC show star headed to her food rehab clinic in Ohio last year in order to clear surgery and reach her goal.
In previous scenes on the reality show, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star weighed 717 pounds.
In the end, Tammy lost 115 pounds naturally, weighing in at 534 pounds to be able to push on with the procedure.
Most patients need to get a pre-surgical psychosocial evaluation done," said Dr. Rachel, who specializes in obesity and weight management.
These would include Tammys psychiatric history, eating, and health behaviors.
They would've looked at Tammys motivation and readiness for surgery.
"They would look at her current stressors and coping mechanisms, as well as potential difficulties that may arise after surgery.
Tammy would have had recommendations such as getting extra mental health or dietary support following this surgery.
Leading up to surgery, theres also a pre-op diet that typically includes a liquid diet consisting of protein shakes and minimal solid foods.
The reason for this is to shrink the liver to make it easier, and safer, for the surgeon to perform the surgery.
Following surgery, its also very important for Tammy to follow the recommendations made by the surgical team.
Typically patients are on clear liquids for the first few days after surgery.
"She would have been on a liquid diet consisting of protein shakes, similar to the pre-op diet, for a few weeks following surgery.
Then they slowly start adding solids in again, starting with pureed foods, and then solids.
The type of diet thats typically recommended for a post-bariatric surgery diet is lean protein and low-fat dairy products.
"It included whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Patients fill up quickly when they start eating again, so it's important that they focus on their protein first.
"Its also important that they dont eat and drink at the same time.
It's recommended to wait for 30 minutes between eating and drinking.
Recently, Tammy posted a couple of selfies on her Instagram feed, showing a close-up of her slimmed-down face.
With her red hair pulled back, the TLC stars nasal attachment to her oxygen tank could be seen secured on her face.
The snap showed off the effects of Tammys weight loss and the skin sagging under her neck.
One follower commented: "Tammy I was seriously one of your biggest critics.
"Its been amazing seeing your consistency within your health journey.
"Soon enough youll be approved for skin removal and just know we are all rooting for you! Proud of you!"
Bariatric surgery is different from other surgeries as they have a specific recovery time," added Dr. Rachel.
Normally, you would return to the life you had prior to surgery.
Bariatric surgery requires a complete lifestyle change.
Exercise is an important aspect of living a healthy lifestyle.
"We know that people that maintain an active lifestyle do tend to do better in the long term.
Most people who find surgery to be successful lose approximately 50 percent of their excess weight.
"But this doesn't happen immediately and typically is looked at between 18-24 months after surgery.
"Success also goes beyond weight loss, and once again depends on patients like Tammy's specific goals.

KHLOE Kardashian has fans concerned after her latest revealing photos.
The Kardashians star has grown increasingly thin over the past several years.
In her latest snapshot, the reality star posed in a sparkly pink bikini with a matching collared coverup.
The TV personality's entire body was exposed, revealing her extremely flat stomach and rows of ribs.
Despite Khloe's bathing suit bottoms being tiny in size, they were hardly hanging onto her skinny frame.
Fans took to Reddit to express their concern for the model.
"Okay I get skinny is in but the rib cage thing is worrisome? This cant seem healthy?" One person wrote.
A second added: "Very unhealthy. I hate the unrealistic and unobtainable standards she is promoting. Id bet money she photoshopped and filtered this. We already know this isnt her face,"
As a third noted: "If she lets go them panties are falling off."
"I thought the same thing!! Like Im all about body positivity and working out to feel your best and your self but there comes a point where its worrying and I think that time has come" a fourth remarked.
"This looks very unhealthy imo Im not sure why so many people are encouraging it," a final commented.
Just days earlier, Khloe, 38, posted a slew of birthday photos for her sister Kourtney, but the star's jeans looked to be falling off her hips after her extreme weight loss.
Khloe posted a photo of herself next toKourtney, 44, who was wearing a "birthday girl" headband.

TheHulustar's state-of-the-art fitness space in her $17million mansion includes a$3,000 rowing machine, several flat-screen TVs, and other machinery.
On Friday, she kicked off the day with a series of snaps from inside her gym.
First, she filmed a black-and-white video of herself and daughterTrue Thompson'scat, Grey Kitty, stretching while perched on a piece of equipment.
She followed that up with a photo of herself standing sideways in front of a wall of mirrors with several machines and alarge TVbehind her.
The reality star wore a simple black hoodie and black leggings in the photo.
Khloe then posted a video of herself walking on a treadmill, chatting about how challenging it was for her to get out of bed and work out.
"I get up early all the time but 4.30, 5am is brutal for me. I can do 6am. I don't know why this is so much harder. But we'll see how it goes," she said while walking.
Various forms of fasting are becoming more and more popular, leading some people to try the OMAD diet. OMAD stands for "one meal a day," and this style of eating appeals to those who don't want to restrict certain foods, count calories or fast for entire days at a time. The rules are simple: "Advocates suggest 4 ones: 1 meal, 1 plate, 1 beverage and 1 hour," says Lisa Andrews, M.Ed., RD, LD, owner or Sound Bites Nutrition. In other words, eat one plate of food, drink one beverage and do it within one hour of the day.
Although the lack of food rules may make the OMAD diet sound appealing, the small amount of food you're allowed to eat on a daily basis may be cause for concern. Here, we'll discuss the foods you can eat on the OMAD diet, pros and cons of following this eating plan and whether or not you should try it.
"[The OMAD diet] is considered a form of intermittent fasting but is much more extreme," says Andrews. "A person has only a one (yes, ONE) hour eating window and 23 hours of fasting," she adds. Naturally, a person eats fewer calories with this style of eating and tends to lose weight. Proponents of the diet like that they don't have to count or track calories. Besides the one meal per day, there really aren't any other rules to follow. You can choose foods that you enjoy and combine them into one meal.
Although you can eat whatever you want on the OMAD diet, a well-balanced meal with healthy carbs, lean proteins and healthy fats will help keep you full and energized. In addition, "limiting alcohol and added sugar may reduce cravings during the time you are supposed to fast," says Andrews. She also notes that black coffee, unsweetened tea, seltzer water or other non-caloric beverages are allowed when you are fasting.
During the "eating" portion of the OMAD diet, build a balanced plate with:
Before diving headfirst into the OMAD diet, consider the pros and cons. There is some research on the benefits of fasting, but eating once per day is drastic and likely unsustainable (and potentially unsafe) for most people.
There is an abundance of research on the health outcomes of fasting, but the science on eating just one meal per day is very limited. A 2021 study in Frontiers in Physiology examined the effects of eating one meal per day on metabolism and physical performance in healthy individuals. The authors concluded that a single meal per day in the evening lowers body weight without affecting physical performance. However, the study was extremely small, with only 13 participants, and only lasted for 11 days. More research is definitely needed in this area before the results are conclusive.
Time-restricted fasting with a larger feeding window, such as 8 hours, has been extensively studied. A 2020 review in The Journal of Physiology observed the effects of time-restricted fasting on weight and cardiometabolic health. They discovered that time-restricted fasting may decrease calorie intake by 20% to 30% and induce weight loss of 1% to 4% of body weight. In addition, time-restricted fasting decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure, regardless of weight loss.
The drawbacks of the OMAD diet may seem obviousextreme hunger, lack of energy, fatigue and uncontrollable cravings, to name a few. Andrews also adds that "fasting causes headaches and irritability due to being 'hangry.'"
Plus, eating one meal per day may not be sustainable if you like to exercise, dine out or travel. Lastly, eating only a few foods per day may put you at risk for nutrient deficiencies, since different foods have varying nutrients and it would be challenging to meet all of your nutritional needs in just one meal.
"As a registered dietitian, this seems like a punitive eating plan," says Andrews. "Personally, I couldn't do it or advise this to my clients," she adds. If a person does try it, they should drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and invest in a daily high-potency multivitamin to help bridge nutrient gaps. This style of eating is not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with diabetes, or anyone with a history of an eating disorder or who is at risk for an eating disorder.
The only rule on the OMAD diet is that you should eat one meal per day with one beverage within a one-hour time period. In addition, the meal should fit on one plate, without any second helpings.
Nutrition professionals do not advise trying the OMAD diet for any length of time. It's incredibly restrictive and unsustainable and can lead to extreme weight loss, nutrient deficiencies and binging.
Although there are metabolic and cardiovascular benefits to certain styles of fasting, the OMAD diet has not been thoroughly studied. It's a very confined style of eating that isn't sustainable for the long term and can lead to disordered eating patterns. Yet, some people may find it appealing due to its simple rules and omission of calorie restrictions. If you decide to try the OMAD diet, consult with a health care professional first.
