Type 2 diabetes: NHS to offer 800-calorie diet treatment

I found it easier to do via intermittent fasting and then eating all of my calories in one meal per day. Something about completely abstaining from food is easier for me psychologically than having multiple tiny meals and making myself stop eating when I'm not full.

It's also easier for me. I have no problem skipping breakfast and then skipping lunch takes a little willpower but I'm often distracted by work. I have friends who find it easier to eat a big lunch as their only meal. Worth experimenting for each person to find what works best for them.

I was assuming these 800kcal were done through OMAD, are they not? I don't see how you could spread that over the day and keep your sanity.

Thing is, 800 calories is a meal for a lot of people. Ever go to Chipotlé? Already over.
