Lipoly

Your Fat Loss Sprint Guide

OMAD restricts the window. Lipoly restricts with precision — and protects your muscle.

One meal a day is aggressive. Aggressive with calculated protein, structured training, and a finish line is better.

OMAD's biggest problem is protein — and it matters more than timing.

OMAD creates a large caloric deficit through timing — one eating window forces lower total intake for most people. The problem: fitting adequate protein into a single meal is genuinely difficult. Most OMAD practitioners eat 80–120 g of protein per day, well below the lean mass preservation threshold during severe restriction.

The consequence: lean mass loss alongside fat loss. Muscle has a metabolic cost — losing it slows your resting metabolic rate and makes long-term maintenance harder. The Fat Loss Sprint targets 2.2–3.0 g/kg LBM of protein, spread across multiple eating occasions during the day, to maximally protect lean mass during aggressive restriction.

The other issue: OMAD has no defined end. The protocol runs indefinitely. The FLS is 14–28 days — then a mandatory 14-day Maintenance Phase.

Science Section

Mettler et al. (2010): athletes on identical caloric deficits — high protein group (2.3 g/kg) retained significantly more lean mass than standard protein group (1.0 g/kg). The difference wasn't the calories. It was the protein.

Longland et al. (2016): At a 40% caloric deficit with high protein (2.4 g/kg) and resistance training, participants gained 1.2 kg of lean mass while losing 4.8 kg of fat. OMAD cannot achieve this without protein precision and training structure.

Aggressive restriction — done right. With protein and a finish line.
