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.

Why is it that when you starve yourself for a while - a week or so - you only lose 3 to 5 pounds when you want to lose more?

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.
