Can eating one meal a day cause weakness or dizziness/lightheadedness?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Expected: Human is not made to eat just one meal a day and thus you are subjecting yourself to bouts of hypoglycemia when without food for a long time , thus the weakness and dizziness you need to eat at least 3 meals a day. They need not be large, just enough to cover your energy need.
