safe if you take vitamins Its been said that eating anything below 1200 calories per day triggers your Body into "Starvation Mode" because it thinks there's a food shortage. When that happens your metabolism slows down to try and conserve energy, and that actually hinders weight loss. It's probably smarter to stick to a 1200 - 1500 calorie per day diet in order to lose weight.

I was wondering if a 500 calorie diet is safe to start off with?

No it is not safe. Your body needs calories to live off of. However if you still wish to go that route and you think you can deal with the pain then I suggest doing it for no more then a month. You will drop around 14 pounds in a month just from 500 calories a day. Then I suggest moving up to 1100 calories. You are still cutting back on what you are taking in but 500 calories a day for too long can hurt you.


I am 5' 2 105lbs how long will it take to lose 15lbs eating 100-500 calories a day?

Please do not try to lose fifteen pounds. You are very slender already. If you lose fifteen pounds, you will weigh 90 pounds and be underweight and unhealthy. 500 calories a day is not enough calories to maintain a healthy body. You will become sick, and your face will start to sink in and become unattractive. Stick to a diet of around 1500 calories a day and stay at 105 pounds. Your body will thank you.


How fast can you lose weight by eating 500 calories or less per day?

If you eat 500 calories a day, or less, you may be condsidered anorexic. That is completely un-healthy and even if you were to lose weight, you would instantly gain it back once you ate regular again...and you would have to eventually eat regular again if you want to live, because eating 500 calories or less is starving yourself to death.

Is eating 500 calories a day considered as anorexia?

Yes, and No. To be considered "anorexic", there are many factors. Some of those involve heavy restricting of food and drinks and calories. Others involve physical conditions and symptoms (dry skin, organ problems / damage, heart issues, fragile / brtiile hair, discolored nails, ect.), excessive exercsie, and mental problems. Eating 500 calories a day, though, is very unhealthy. That is about 1,000 to 1,500 LESS calories than a person should be eating in a day.
