Answer

Yes, but you'll also trick you body into thinking it's starving, which will cause it to slow the metabolic rate and brun calories more slowly. In addition, once you stop eating once a day, the risk is extremely high that you'll gain back the weight you lost and extra.

Answer

yes you can lose weight but it is very unheathly. what i think you should try is eat small healthy meals during the day and drink healthy(not to much sugar) drinks.(treat yourself once a week with a coke or a peice of sweet but make sure you dont eat to much of it cuz you will not see no improvement)Also dont eat enough to well you are so full you feel bloated eat only enough to where you are satisfied

yes - but..

Yes, unless the meal is the same as breakfast, lunch and dinner combined. However, you will be losing muscle mass, not fat. Your body burns fat last for energy, so when you starve it it stores fat for later consumption. Losing weight through not eating is a temporary solution, and will result in you gaining back all the weight you lost plus a few extra pounds. You will be physically heavier then you are now eventually, with a higher fat to muscle ratio then you have now.

Not eating to lose weight also comes with tremendous life long effects like organ failure. Do not not eat to lose weight. Exercise is the only safe and permanent way to lose weight - bar none.
