    Just out of curiosity, what are the ramifications?

    I had a period of time 15 years ago where I was eating about 1000-1500 calories a day for months because I was so busy I’d just forget to eat.

    Life is getting to the point where I’m forgetting to eat on weekends again and I’m contemplating just following suit during the week to drop some poundage.

    I know if the weight loss is TOO fast there’s a heart component, but is there anything else to worry about?

      not sure if kidding but stress builds up cortisol which over time can lead to health issues. heart/stroke/etc. anything that messes with your blood sugar should be taken with precaution.
