You would lose weight, but you wouldn't be getting your nutrients. You would be weak and unhealty, probably malnurished also.

I think it depends on how much you eat compared to what you normally do and how many calories you need to sustain your weight as well as if you burn more than you put in.
What a loaded question with many sides or angles! LOL!
You did not specify how many bowls or calories of corn flakes per meal.
I would probably stay the same weight if I changed nothing but the type of food I ate, since I have been mostly eating salads with low-fat or no-fat cheese and salted sesame seeds (occasionally with chicken) and no-fat or lite yogurt with my own choice of fruit that I peel.
If I only eat 3 bowls a day, I might lose weight, until the body plateaus, unless it sees it as starvation.
You also did not mention if it's plain or with milk, soy milk and/or sugar, splenda, or artificial sweetner, all of which can change what happens. Nor was anything mentioned if anything else would be added to it (such as fruit, etc.).
If I had to eat the cereal plain, I would most definitely lose weight, because I could not eat the cereal plain. LOL. I'd probably lose an awful lot of weight and become too underweight and possibly start starving. (Plus I'd have to probably take more vitamins and supplements if that's all I had for nutrition).
If people can survive on machine feedings, then they can probably survive off this alone with the proper supplements.
However, if I eat one bowl in addition to what I normally eat, I'd probably gain weight, unless I burned more calories, carbs, and fat off through exercise than I took in by eating. Only then would I stay the same or lose weight.

It depends on what you are consuming now. If it's more calories, you'd gain weight. If it's less calories, you'd lose weight.
The main issue would be the lack of nutrients that the body needs. The person would probably die of scurvy.

Depends how much you would it of it and also which milk you had with it. Chances are you would loose weight, but you would not get enough nutrients since there is no variety and that could lead to all kinds of health problems.

you'd die of boredom. you'd lose weight, but it wouldn't be healthy. corn flakes don't have all the nutrients a body needs.

Most likely lose weight but why would you ever want to do it?

You would lose weight and after awhile suffer from malnutrition.
