Can eating one meal/day on 8 days during 2 weeks cause permanent damage?

[Anonymous]

If the meal usually includes vegetables, but doesn't always. No eating disorders played a role. Can permanent heart damage be a possibility?

No, definitely not.

Lol no

Is the 1 meal equal to a normal amt of daily food that's usually spread out through the day?

Why do you think there would heart damage and permanent at that?

Were you eating cans of crisco?

Where did you hear that nonsense? Most people would be fine on a ten day complete fast. But I wouldn’t necessarily remember it without consulting with a knowledgeable professional.

Muslims around the world keep a whole day fast during Ramadan (so a full month) and eat one hearty meal after sunset.

The upside is that because of this kind of extreme intermittent fasting, the incidents of cancer in Muslim countries in the Middle East is very low, even though they consume a lot of sugar and have other comorbidities.

Why would you think that would happen? I don’t even understand.

No, just a typical amount for one meal.

If you eat less than 1000 calories/day for an extended period of time (like two weeks or more) then you need to be monitored in a hospital for refeeding syndrome when you start to eat more normally.

Permanent damage, no.

If person was sick, there should be small snacks, Boost, Gingerale or something during the day in addition to one meal.

No.

Is there strenuous aerobic exercise involved or extreme environmental elements (survival camping / hiking Mt. Everest) that would demand more than usual from the heart?

Is your heart otherwise strong and healthy?

You all know nothing about OP. For all you know this is an anoprexic trying to justify how she exists who already has a weakened heart. We are not physicians and don't know the whole story. OP< talk to a doctor who knows your health story.
