There's a popular book about eating 800 calories a day: https://thefast800.com/the-very-fast-800/?srsltid=AfmBOop4YcYz5dFsQY1mOWB9Ut6cW0pwo_XCRCFz__d-7L6CYIg7zTgV. So there's that. I think the idea is that you get really quick results, so you feel encouraged to continue and don't have to keep depriving yourself for ages. Ultimately, when you reach your target weight, you do the 800-calories-a-day thing just a few times a week. The doctor behind this argues that the cautions about restrictive dieting weren't ever really true. I have no idea what doctors think about this.

As for walking 30-50k steps a day, either that poster doesn't have a job, or I agree they're lying.

Eating 700 calories a day and claiming to walk 30k steps a day. Also claims to have had periods of time when they walked 40-50k steps a day. These are either lies or the person has a problem.

I don't see any evidence that the OP of that thread is either a troll or sick.

I'm a different poster and was also saying that this is disordered eating.

This person is either sick or trolling.
