Forget calories. Obesity is caused by build up of excessive fat due to inactivity (lack of exercise).

Even of you cut back on calories, you still need a way to burn any excess fat, and the only scientifically proven way to do that is to exercise.

So-called "fat-burning pills" are a fake industry taking advantage of vulnerable people for profit.

In an ideal diet, men should not exceed 2500 calories a day and women should not exceed 2000 calories a day.

Eat healthily, don't buy any chocolate, crisps or junk food. If you need to snack, eat fruit and/or yoghurt. You'll be surprised how much longer fruit keeps you filled than junk. You could also temporarily become a vegetarian if it helps you eat healthier.

Yes, but in doing so you would be greatly harming your body. Eating that little is very dangerous, and is not a good way to successfully keep the weight off for a long period of time. After ending the diet, you would regain most of what had been lost relatively quickly. A better way to lose weight would be through traditional diet and exercise.

Absolutely not! That's like eating only one medium sized lunch per day. Your body needs a sufficiant food suply or else it'll think your starving and start storing all the fat and nutrients it can get.

Yes. But eating only eating 500 calories several days in a row is equal to starvation. To eat this small amount of calories one day and eating normal the next day is similar to intermediate fasting. If this is healthy or not is not certain, there are studies in favor and against it.

Note that the question was about calories and not Calories. 500 calories equals 0.5 Calories. But if the question referred to Calories and not calories it's still a bad idea to eat this way several days in a raw.
Is not recommendable to eat 500 calories per day. For a good diet, you need to cut 500 calories form your basal metabolic rate.
