Eat when you are hungry. Eat what you want (obviously not candy for every meal) Eat consciously. (chew your food, savour it and enjoy it, don't eat in front of the TV) When you are full STOP eating.
YES, you will definitely lose weight eating once a day, particularly if you make it "your way of life" so it is not "a diet". Every health dietitian will argue against this BUT I've been doing this as a type 2 diabetic for over 35 years. I'm now 70 and in perfect health (other than Diabetes). At age 32 I was obese with all kinds of health problems. So I started exercising to lose the weight.
Fortunately my then neighbor was a leading heart specialist who advised against such exercise until I lost the weight. Frustrated with his reply, I asked, HOW do I lose the weight ? He then asked these questions: "How often do you feed you pet dog ? How often do lions or tigers eat ? What do they do right after eating ?" And then he slowly asked "Why do you think you're any different ?"
That day I began eating once a day, at dinner, just before bed.
Within 60 days none of my clothing fit. I was 180 pounds at 6 feet. I had lost almost 100 pounds. I'm still 180 pounds. And I still eat once a day. I feel like I'm 40 ! (OK 45). According to my doctor my sugar levels are fine and so are all my other vital signs. He doesn't agree with the once a day life style but clearly states - "but it's working for you, so don't change a thing". Yes, the first two weeks were tough.
Not in and of itself. It's unhealthy, yes, but there are more criteria for diagnosis of an eating disorder than the restriction of calories alone. Eating only one meal a day could certainly be a behavior of someone with an eating disorder.
By itself, eating once a day is not considered an eating disorder. It may not be considered by many to be the healthiest way to deal with eating and nutrition, but without much more information it is not diagnosable.
While it might be a sign of a compulsive eating habit, it could just be a common routine a person has established to make life easier and mroe convienent, so it is not a definite sign of an eating disorder.
I would say yes simply because you are starving yourself. The body is very funny about you starving it. Your body will extract and hold on to as much fat as it can in order for you to last all day with only eating one meal. Making it very hard for you to lose weight if you are trying to lose it. The reason why you should eat all day and by that I mean on healthy terms is to keep your metabolism up and running, also the healthier you eat the more your body gets used to using the good qualities of food such as vitamins and fibers instead of crapping or peeing them out. As well with excersise your body will be more proned to burn fat to fuel a work out and while you are constantly supplying your body with proper nutrition the less it will rely on fat for energy.

Eating disorders can cause damage to your heart, esophagus, stomach, intestines, teeth (they can make your teeth fall out), and many other body parts. They can be fatal. They make a person's appearance go downhill rapidly. To this day I have stomach and digestive problems because of an eating disorder.
