Hello!
The way I see it, is the fact that you must first test out the OMAD diet, and hope for the best that it will suit you perfectly! But obviously there's also the fear that a particular diet can hurt your health badly, because you might lack certain products.
For me, it's the fear that it won't fit, rather than doing the diet itself.
I don't know how to put this properly, but I hate wasting time on something that is not guaranteed to work out.

According to what I have researched and experienced, I lose around 3kgs already since I started OMAD. The bad side is that, I always feel dizzy and weak in the first two weeks of my diet. It is normal to feel those things, everyone who just started OMAD will feel abnormality when it comes to digestion as your body is still in the adjusting stage
The main benefit of OMAD is that you’re not repeatedly telling your body to keep storing fat, which is obviously incredibly helpful if you’re having trouble with weight management or need to lose weight.
Every time you eat, you’re telling your body to produce insulin, which is the main hormone responsible for storing fat. If you only eat one meal a day, that means your body only gets the signal that one time, meaning that you’re going to be burning up stored energy for the rest of your fasting window.
I feel that OMAD isn’t all that risky, but some people do run the risk of becoming malnourished if they maintain a poor diet for longer periods of time. It’s important to make sure you’re getting a proper amount of micro and macro nutrients when eating just once a day, as well as supplementing your diet with a multivitamin.

I think most of the risk involved is with people who have pre-existing conditions like diabetes, wherein if they don't eat they might feel weak and dizzy so it might be better to ease them in to this lifestyle. Also, those who are extremely active might have a bit more of a difficult time adjusting to this lifestyle as well since there might be times in the day where you feel too hungry or weak to move too much and if you end up pushing yourself too hard while not being used to this situation you might end up with a serious health risk. Otherwise, I think the risks are not that much if you just ease yourself into it and learn to adjust your routines as you go.
There are numerous benefits of doing Omad which is your body system getting to work in a relatively better way than when you tend to eat everything that comes your way. Also, there is that possibility of having healthy organs since there is going to be less work to be done as regards food processing as well.
I used to watch my parents fast for religious reasons, and I used to swear that I would never do it. When I decided to loose weight I did my research on various weight loss methods. I decided to try OMAD because it was the most straight forward and least expensive. It has numerous benefits, the greatest benefit for me is that it you don't have to count calories and go low fat. This way of dieting is expensive and has been the least effective diet for me. Most low fat foods are tasteless e.g coke zero.
