Well, you should never starve yourself. Your body needs the foods nutrients. 500 calories a day won't make a difference. Normally people intake at least 1000 calories a day. For 10 days, you may lose about 5 pounds if you do the limiting calories. If you starve for 10 days, you can lose about 20 pounds. I suggest you do not do so. If you want to lose weight, you should excercise and not eat fatty foods. A great suggestion is to try to eat all fruit for a week. If you do that, the results should be pleasing.
No you should not starve yourself for losing weight, it would be really dangerous for your health. A healthy balanced diet is very important for losing weight, starving is not the right way. Consume less calories than you burn and eat varieties of food.
You will gain weight much more rapidly if you start eating 2000 calories a day of you have been starving yourself beforehand. If you want to start eating a healthy amount of calories again you need to work up to it slowly, you should start eating a little more each day until you feel your eating enough. hope it helps (im no expert)
OF course not! Anorexia is not taking in the basic amount of calories you need to live. Basically starving yourself. It all depends on your metabolism and other factors.
No. Starving yourself to lose weight is not safe, nor is it effective in the long term,for weight loss.
Limiting yourself to 1,200 calories is more the type of diet you would go on to lose a required or desired amout of weight. Any time you cut calories and increase physical activity you are going to lose weight, however you NEED calories to stay healty so always follow professional advice.
starving yourself for weeks
Increase your activity level to burn more calories.
This question is kinda hard to answer; because you have to take your height and weight into consideration, but after a lot of researching, I found a common thread. Anything less than 1,000 calories is not "adequate nutrition".

There are thousands of calories in a pound, so even if you skip a whole weeks calories its difficult to lose too much weight. Additionally, by starving yourself you slow down metabolism and slow the weight loss process more. If you wanna lose more weight, take the time to do diet and exercise and give yourself weeks, not days, to lose pounds.
because your metabolism is shutting down and your body is trying to hold every ounce of energy ..eating so little calories will make you lose weight but it is not healthy at all.. you are starving yourself and you will definatly gain back all the weight you lost
Chances are you will not lose weight because your body will try to preserve the body fat that you already have. weight loss in the begining, but when you start eating again your body tells it self to hold on to it more.
