fasting from food no longer than 2 days would actually help him I would think as long as he is drinking water. i can't see that it would hurt him at all since he is 18, but why does he want to tease your mother? it sounds more like punishing her to me, or abuse? maybe he is eating somewhere else and you don't know it. is he abusive any other way.

ingesting much less is a stupid thank you to drop some weight. in case you're intense approximately dropping weight, you gotta consume a good volume of healthful nutrition and artwork out. in case you consume much less, confident you will drop some weight, even nevertheless it fairly is risky for you, and once you commence ingesting oftentimes back you will basically pile the burden back on, so it fairly is pointless.

Not long term. But he might drop his blood sugar low enough to pass out, which would be unpleasant.
I'd be more worried about the mental food / control dynamic going on there. It's just not healthy.

I was told by a doctor once that you can go for at least a week without food, but you MUST drink water. I was very sick once and couldn't eat food. I drank water and after a week I lost 12 lbs. but I was fine after.
