    Literally in my post I said “to do this safely you need to work with your doctor”

    This was less directed and you, and more at the large number of people who will read a post like yours and go “I can totally do that!” and just cold turkey start eating only 1500 calories a day, without any consultation with doctors or nutritionists.

    Thats extremely common. Literally googling “1500 calorie diet” comes up with pages of unsafe recommendation, most of which do not begin with “consult with your doctor and don’t take advice from strangers on the internet about your diet.”
