Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Depends on what you mean by "all required minerals, vitamins, etc."
If you are including all proteins, fats, and calories, then nothing happens. (assuming you didn't miss anything at all)
If you exclude any required "etc" then your body will try to keep you in homeostasis for as long as possible, depleting any reserve unit it can't anymore.
If you're short calories, then your body will process fats and muscle and you will get leaner until it can't manage.
If you're short protein, then your body will process muscle and you'll lose strength until it can't manage.
If you're short calcium, then your body will process bone until you break something.
Probably, without a very careful regiment, with blood work and doctor's supervision, you'll end up with a deficiency of some kind and could cause permanent damage.
