I have a question on whether I'd be able to continue following the One Meal A Day diet strategy while taking Estrogen. Is there any medical reason why I shouldn't? Does estrogen work better with a meal? How about if Estrogen is injected/patch/gel?

I'd like to loose weight and OMAD is basically the only strategy where I have ever seen any weight loss.

While it is easier to avoid the feelings of hunger you get when eating fewer meals, it is much better for you to train yourself to stop eating sooner. I've found the small bowl method to help train your body to tell you sooner that you are full, as well as shrink your stomach.

You take a small bowl and use that for three meals a day, eat what you want, but never serve yourself more than fits in the small bowl at a time and don't fill the bowl again for an hour after it's empty. Just my advice, but I've never taken estrogen, so also a huge grain of salt! <3
