Isn't this basically a crash diet? I'm NO expert, but I'd think this to be a bad idea?

As I understand, for the most-part, we need a minimum of 1000 calories daily (varies by person) just to maintain healthy function. Less than that and over time, you'll lose muscle, your metabolism will slow, your vital organs will lack needed nutrients, etc. etc.

As a heads up, moderators will close this thread. the forum rules indicate no encouraging very low calorie diets such as ... not eating for four days (a few fruit is still not eating).

But is this encouragement, or just an inquiry? It might be good this person is asking, so they can get feedback (good or bad).

My question, too, is what do you hope to achieve by doing this?

I WILL:
• I will allow members to share experiences without judgment. Those seeking support in their recovery from eating disorders are welcome at MyFitnessPal. A growing list of support resources can be found on our Eating Disorder Resources page.
• I will understand that people have a complicated relationship with food.

I WON'T:
• I won’t use any aspect of our service to promote anorexia, bulimia or any unsafe dieting practices.
• I won’t promote very low-calorie diets.
• I won’t diagnose other members.

• Please note: Profiles, groups, messages, posts, or wall comments that encourage anorexia, bulimia, or very low-calorie diets of any kind will be removed, and may be grounds for account deletion. This includes positive references to ana/mia, purging, or self-starving. Our goal is to provide users with the tools to achieve their weight management goals at a steady, sustainable rate.
