How much weight will I lose eating 500 calories a day for 5 days?
If you have an average Basal metabolic rate in the 1500-1800 calories range, you eat 500 calories per day, and you are minimally active, your daily deficit will be 1300 to 1600 range. Over five days, you can expect to lose somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds.What you see on the scale will look higher though, because you'll have probably lost some fluid and you will have emptied your digestive tract. That could make it seem like you’ve lost somewhere between 5 and 10 pounds, bit ot will not be real weight loss. You'll gain that back within a day or two of going back to normal eating again. You can lose a bit more than that 1.5 - 2.5 pounds, and maybe bring it up to as much as 3 pounds if you exercise on each of those three days, or 3.5 pounds if you exercise strenuously enough to burn an extra 1200 calories per day - but by the end of the second or third day you'll likely not have a whole lot of energy for that.And let me be clear: While a five day near-fast of 500 calories/day is unlikely to do any permanent damage, this is not a healthy way to lose weight, and you should not even attempt it without discussing your intentions with a physician who is familiar with your medical condition, lab results, and history.
Would I lose weight if I ate 330 calories a day for 2 weeks?
okay. first of all 82 pounds for a 13 year old is really light. second, 330 calories is not even enough food to be sustenance to be healthy. third, spitting out food just because it has sugar in it is not healthy or safe. you could really hurt yourself if you don't eat. my sister is the same age and height. she eats like any normal person would and is over a hundred pounds, looking perfectly thin. there is no need to starve yourself. if you really can't stop treating your body this way you need to ask someone you trust for help. but yes, eating only 330 calories would definitely make you lose weight.
What if I only eat 300-500 calories a day a few months?
You won't make it for a few months. I have experience with this but nevermind that. The other answers are correct; they describe ketosis. But what you feel? The awful hunger is more than you might think. It's literally all-consuming, and it will keep you from sleeping until you get so tired you oversleep, like hibernate. That's what you will be craving because being awake is painful. 300-500? That's about what I had to go on. What little money I had would go to what I saw as the highest nutritive benefit per moneys: my daily diet would be something like 1 Powerbar and 1 nectarine. I decided that those senior drinks for people who are allergic to chewing, like Boost or Ensure, was better than a Powerbar, and the amount either fills you up is small enough that it doesn't matter.Later I could eat both lunch and dinner at the shelter. So we might be having 1000 calories a day, and I'm describing that, and that's twice as much as you are asking about! And the dinner wasn't guaranteed, so all this is in that calorie range.So, I described the gnawing hunger. After a while, your brain slows down. Your neurons don't fire as much as they used to, and you think "slower." you get confused and distracted and can't concentrate on one damn thing.You'll get constant headaches. When they are low-level it's tolerable, but they can be pounding.Your stomach will rebel. You won't be able to keep anything down. If you take pills, you'll puke them up. It's nausea, but not the type everyone thinks defines nausea--it's not queasiness. Instead, your gag reflex doesn't really stop. You will take a pill then feel that gag-reflex sensation for a few hours. You'll regurgitate your coffee. The pain in your stomach will "physicalize" and make you cry, so you'll become histrionic and cry a lot. Stomach hurt? Cry. Think of something sad? Cry. Get mad? Cry. Miss your bus? Cry. Can't do your homework? Cry.So yeah, you keep up like that, and your body will start to consume itself. That's why we have fat reserves, and you don't want to start dipping into those. I can only imagine the agony of people in famine.
