Is eating 1000 calories a day safe or do you think your body can't survive on that caloric deficit?

The eight most poorly fed nations on earth AVERAGE less than 2000 calories a day.

@Mamapolo2016 I would imagine way way less than 2000 calories.
@SimplyTracie That's what I imagined, too, but it looks like we were wrong.

Even Somalia (ave daily calories per capita - 1695) and N Korea (1318) although among the worst fed, take in more than I would have expected. The problem is that calories and nourishment do not equate. As always happens when we face a serious problem, we define 'starving' endlessly instead of giving nutrition where it's needed.

@Mamapolo2016 I agree. Totally different ways of looking at diets.
