One of two things can happen if you only eat one meal a day.
You'll either lose a lot of weight or your body will go into "starvation" mode and you won't lose anything because the body realizes that there's no "fuel" coming in and it will try to conserve whatever it has (fat, etc.) for energy.
Either way, it's not a good idea. It's best to eat healthy whether you need to lose weight or just sustain your body.

∙ 14y agoI have been told many times that eating one meal a day is unhealthy- this usually by people who are in a continual long-term struggle to lose weight.
I have been eating one meal a day for a couple of decades. I fast every day- and I feast every day. I eat and enjoy as much healthy food as I desire in the later evening- without any thought of "dieting".
Result- I save an awful lot of time by not having to deal with multiple meals- which makes my day very productive-
and I still wear the same jeans that I wore thirty years ago! - and I am in excellent health.
The one meal a day approach requires strong self discipline but then soon becomes routine
Meanwhile I keep hearing the same refrain over and over from the overweight- that one meal a day is not healthy.

∙ 12y agoMany believe that eating only one or two meals a day is unhealthy, but many people do have less than three meals a day and live quite healthy lives.
As long as you are getting enough of the right nutritional food then the number of meals a day is irrelevant.

∙ 16y agoIt depends on if that meal is a half a slice of celery and you still think you are eating too much. If you are eating a regular meal, you probably are not anorexic, but it isn't good to starve yourself the rest of the time. Your bod needs food for fuel.

You only eat a bagel in then you starve the rest of the day does that make you an anorexic?
No, not at all, actually. First of all, an anorexic probably wouldn't eat a whole bagel at once. Even if you want to, if you're truly anorexic, you can't, trust me. Second of all, if it's just one day, then you're not considered anorexic, you just didn't eat much that day. It has to be something regular for it to be given the title anorexic. Besides, what lots of people don't realize is this: You aren't anorexic unless you're underweight. If you're normal weight, but you starve yourself, you are simply fasting, or starving yourself, until you're underweight.

How much do anorexic people weigh?
it depends on your height and bone formation,,, a petite girl may be anorexic by the weight of 70-85 lbs,,, a tall girl may be anorexic by the weight of 100-110 PS: and mostly big boned people doesnt depend their being "anorexic" by height,,, they depend it on how they eat and how often or how healthy... why? because their bones add weights to their "lbs",,, so they dont tell if the person is anorexic or not... eat lots of vegetables,,, fruits moderately eat meat and seafoods,,, dont skip breakfast... the most important meal of the day... try consulting a doctor if your really confused,, :) hope I helped,, :)
