What does going from one extreme to another do to the long-term health of your body?

I used to work with a bodybuilder/"mr olympia" dude who would get insanely huge and thick, but strong, then cut like mad and have an insane V-shaped torso with incredibly defined, huge muscles. He would then enter competitions, basically beauty pageants (i.e. no lifting) for really muscular people. He was not a healthy person -- either being a glutton with fat/sugar/carbs/protein, or, starving himself. like a 6 month shift, one and then the other.
