100% not true. Ignoring actual poisons, overemphasis in some foods might make you ill, underemphasis might make you ill, too little X might affect your ability to process Y, and just plain starving for a month will leave you with organ damage.
You need to check your references more closely. I checked the last and what it actually said was:
prolonged starvation (in excess of 1–2 months) causes permanent organ damage[citation needed]
Notice it was in excess of 1-2 months, and it gave no citation.
I did realize another exception after I posted—if you have a problem like diabetes or several nutritional or metabolic disorders, you would also have problems.
Provided you aren’t already malnourished, NO diet, even starvation, is going to be harmful over the course of one month.

The “Only vodka” diet.
Hm?
Refusing to eat for a month isn’t harmful? I’m not a nutritionist, but I find that claim absurd.
If you have more than a few pounds of fat, for VERY nearly 100% of people, no, it’s strictly beneficial or net-neutral.
