starvation diet
Dangerously minimal eating
A starvation diet is an extremely restrictive eating regimen that provides far fewer calories than the body needs.
The term usually carries negative connotations—implying the diet is dangerously severe or unsustainable: She lost thirty pounds on what amounted to a starvation diet.
Sometimes used hyperbolically for any strict diet.
