    Presuming even a 2000 calorie a day TDEE, unless OP has 40+ pounds of fat, the body is pulling those excess calories from somewhere besides fat.

    You're eating 800 calories a day and you're asking about fat marbles??

    You can either start to eat healthily or don't. You can either heed the good advice given here to you or don't. Either way you'll still lose the weight.

    How long it stays off and the damage you'll do to your internal organs is another matter.

    Um hmm, your diet shouldn't make you feel tired and sluggish all the time. Is that 800 net or total calories? You say you looked better before starting this program, have you considered that not properly fueling your body could be resulting in a less desirable outcome.

    well the way i see it is that i can feel tired and sluggish for a month or i can do a 500 cal deficit and lose only 1 pound of fat a week instead of 3-4 and have to diet for 3-4 months. i cant do that i don't have the patience for that long of a diet.

    i don't know why i look worse now, its confusing im exercising 4x a week doing calisthenics so i cant be losing muscle mass .

    You don't have the patience to eat properly now, you won't later when you finally give up this dangerous way of eating. You're very likely to regain using this method, I hope you take better care of your body soon.

    You are losing whatever muscle you had. Of course you do not look good. When you are done with this nonsense, you will look awful. There is no such thing as losing weight super fast and not looking bad.

    You could be getting skinny fat being on such a low calorie diet and losing LBM

    Most people who do PSMFs on their own are extremely well-informed. They don't pick a calorie or protein goal out of a hat -- they've researched the recommendations -- and they know they need to go on a healthy, balanced maintenance diet afterwards.

    Does someone who plans to be on this diet for 3 weeks (which is over the recommended time frame) because they "don't have the patience" to lose 1lb a week strike you as being "extremely well-informed"? Because if you do, I have a bridge to sell you. You're arguing the benefits of PSMF in a thread with an OP who is clearly using this as a starvation diet.

    True, but aren't you just dying to know what became of the OP and this idiotic diet? I'm so curious.
