eating between 800-1000

how long can i do it for? im 6 feet and 180 lbs. ive done it for two days and now im down to 188.

it depends.... when's the soonest you'd like to pass out? 

well heres what i ate today

Bread, Reduced-calorie, Wheat A 69 137 Kraft American Singles - Sandwich Cheese C- 19 60 Oven Roasted White Turkey - Cold Cuts B 28 30 SUNCHIPS Harvest Cheddar Flavored Multigrain Snacks C 28 140 Soup, Bean - With Ham, Canned, Chunky, Ready-to-serve, Commercial B+ 365 347

 

 

any suggestions?

first, you probably need to double your calorie intake.  800-1000 calories is almost NOTHING....  you'll lose weight for a little while until your body catches on, gets pissed and starts keeping every little smidge of fat it can carry....

start off slow.  have you used any of the tools that CC provides.  You can enter your weight, height, if your active or not, and it will tell you how many calories YOU should be eating to lose weight.

How old are you?

A lot depends on your age and if you are still growing.

People's exhibit 1: very first posts are *two thread starters*, both about extreme eating behaviour. First one asks ridiculous question, second one seeks encouragement.

People's exhibit 2: complete lack of any kind of reading of forum rules, not to mention complete lack of any attempt to search answer to question on existing forum threads.

I rest my case, your honour.

*mods request*

If you are reading this I am going to PM you.  Look for the mailbox by your user name in a few minutes.

To everyone else, layoff.

Why does everyone assume this is a troll?  Because they aren't battling an eating disorder, or eating too much, and come here to whine, because they can't lose any weight, and have no idea why?  I don't get all the hate...I'd much rather help this person than the one that comes on crying about weight 135lbs, and staring at a cookie, and balling about it, on here.

 I assume you aren't really an attorney...

Lilium, it sounds like you have an eating disorder.  This is not sound advise.  If you have no appetite, well, that's a medical problem.  Living like that is going to lead to osteoporosis and other health problems.

I agree completely with Kathleen about Lilium.

Not good advise, and not good for long term health. Eat enough, exercise enough, and the weight WILL come off. If it's not, get your thyroid checked.

Here's what the CC+ Advice Q&A says

Why must I eat at least 1,200 calories a day when I want to eat less?

In order to get the daily food servings you need for a balanced diet, it takes about 1200 calories a day. With careful planning, you could have a balanced diet on 1000 calories, but the restrictiveness of a very low calorie level can lead to binging and weight cycling, which will take you further from your weight loss goal. What's more, very low calorie diets can cause excessive muscle breakdown and metabolic adaptations, which can drive down your calorie requirements. In the end, you'll need fewer calories to maintain a higher weight.

In other words, you'll ruin your metabolism to the point that you can't lose weight without starving and malnutrition.  However, if you correct this by eating the right amount, in about 3 months you will be able to lose while eating more. 

I agree with Kat & Nas. Completly unhealthy.

BTW your not allowed to promate a ED here.

Not promoting an ED... I just saying that my stomach can't take more food, I've tried eating 1.200-1.500 calories, and I got sick, went to the doctor, they said I was healthy just underweight and anemic. My mom tells me to eat more but there's certain point where I can't even move...

I guess I have a very small stomach. (:

Sorry that you take it as bad intention. 'Cause I didn't mean to.

If you cannot eat a larger volume of food, try switching to calorie dense foods.  Eat nuts, avocados, eggs with the yolk, cheese, etc.  All of these foods will help you to get the calories that your body needs in addition to nutrients.
