One Meal a Day cost me my gallbladder

Exactly 14 months ago, I spent three months eating only once a day. It felt good, and I lost 10 kg. Two months later, I had two gallstones and required emergency surgery. The likely cause, which can be verified in any medical textbook, is rapid weight loss.

I just want to leave this here so that others might reconsider whether eating once a day (in combination with weight loss) is a good idea.

Now, I am practically forced to eat constantly to keep my bile—which is no longer stored by the gallbladder—occupied. Not to mention the daily pain and digestive issues like diarrhea.

Not everything that glitters is gold, and OMAD is not the solution to everything.
