Even if you are over weight, you still need to eat more than once a day. It's a very common misconception that simply eating less will help you lose weight. True, if you're consuming 3,000 calories per day and burning 2,000 then you could stand to eat less. But, if you go from 3,000 to 1,000 your metabolism will start to shut down because your body realizes that all of a sudden you're not getting as much as you're burning. So, instead of cutting back to one meal per day, try cutting out processed crap and eating healthier foods. Fruits and vegetables that are in season (go local: farmer's markets and roadside stands can be very inexpensive), whole grain pasta and rice (your body needs carbs for energy), smaller portions of high protein meats (lean chicken, turkey, fish) and eggs. Use water as an appetite suppressant. Eat smaller meals more frequently. And most importantly: Don't sacrifice your health to pad your bank account. If you don't invest a little in taking care of your health then the only enjoyment to be had from your frugal ways will be that of your family enjoying your inheritance when you die an early death...

Drugs and gambling are forms of entertainment. Granted, the drugs are illegal, but are still methods of entertainment. Sell everything you own, lets go be a bum with lots of money! Oh yeah, with no possesions, like a stove, or a decent place to cook, I'm sure you will have no problem skipping a meal or two. By the way, that better be one hell of a meal, because if you don't intake enough calories, you will lose to much weight. Then you should go borrow everything from someone else. I mean everything. My kids will be thrilled to sleep on a pee stained mattress!! So will the wife for that matter. So basically, your ideas for saving money transforms you into a scrawny hermit with to much time and money. You can then forget giving up drugs to. But at least you have some cash in your pocket, but with no bills, no food, nothing to fix or purchase, what is the money for? I think that a few of your ideas are insane!!
