He may chime in to speak for himself, but many folks with binge-eating tendencies find OMAD to require less willpower -- something about beginning to eat triggers a desire to eat a ton, but this (in his case) can be crushed with enough heavy cream.
While you're thinking about multivitamins and how we've all been lied to about health, consider that the single-pill multivitamin was a marketing decision. Something like Animal Pak (sic) is a whole fistful of pills for roughly 1 USD per day. Something like Athletic Greens is twice that, and might be twice as good.
I'm not sure that we've been *lied* to about health, exactly. No solid science could be corrupted by a few bad actors (The Secret Neutrino that Big Fermion doesn't want you to Interact with!!).
I think it's that the soft "sciences" are: (a) very hard (b) very institutionally fucked-up and (c) largely done by innumerate half-wits. And nutrition is the worst of them all.
The replication crisis is actually a great sign that they're starting to get their act together, and bravo for all that. But almost all soft-science research done pre-replication crisis is rubbish, and we don't know which bits aren't rubbish. So it all needs burning, and then we have to start again from scratch.
Yeah the word "lie" isn't well-defined when it comes to public discourse. Scott Alexander recently wrote a piece about how the media almost always tells the truth (albeit in the most misleading way possible). He's right, but "study shows that bacon triples your risk of colon cancer!" (triples from extremely small to still extremely small, and probably won't replicate well), while accurate, is at least enough of a 'lie' that whoever wrote the headline should lose his job or better yet his head (in the strict sense meaning: 'be publically beheaded').
For me, the one meal actually doesn't take any willpower. It's basically what I was eating every day for the last few years on keto before starting ex150 - I just reduced the portion size a lot. I just have very simple tastes, but this is the most delicious meal I can think of and I eat it every day. That might not be true for everyone else, but your stew might be the most delicious meal for you! And then it won't take any willpower/discipline.
Also I think you pretty much summed up ex150 quite well and got all the load-bearing parts (I can think of) right.

It's great to hear you say that. I know nothing (I wasn't actually expecting ketosis!) but I am trying to learn fast. Please please tell me if I get even minor things wrong, and if I offend you or mischaracterize you in any way let me know and I'll fix it!

Haha no I'm loving it :) Let a thousand experiments bloom. I'm just throwing stuff at the wall myself.
