Ok so your 18 with a dim memory of a 5th gradehealth class,touting Healthy eating. I would not follow a goverment subsidized health plan...... go to the library and do some homework, talk to a nutritionest.

Not for nothing, and I don't debunk your opinion entierly but, wow. I bet you believe it. And I bet you will lose a ton of weight. Till you eat normally. Starving yourself makes your pants lose but, its temporary.
Also, at 1 lb lost, you are in no position to be handing out crap information.

WORD!!!

This is NOT TRUE. My degree is Nutrition and Exercise Science going into a Doc. Your body uses different forms of energy depending on whether or not you are aerobic or anaerobic state. Which refers to the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. Most of our cells prefer to get their energy by using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During exercise with adequate fuel and oxygen (i.e., aerobic), muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobic or non-oxygen conditions (i.e., higher intensity exercise), muscle cells must rely on other reactions that do not require oxygen to fuel muscle contraction. This anaerobic metabolism in the cells produces waste molecules that can impair muscle contractions.

Your heart rate/oxygen intake determines what kind of energy you burn at first its fat then when you reach a high heart rate you can into anaerobic (with out oxygen).

You are in danger of burning off you muscle eating so few calories. This is NOT the way to treat your body much less lose weight. You need to eat a healthy amount of whole foods to lose weight, not to much not to little. PLEASE do not pass off information that is false leave the teaching to the professionals PLEASE it can seriously make people very sick.

Excellent reply the OP will hopefully take to heart.

To the OP, enjoy your weight loss while it happens, eventually it will really slow down (several weeks at most). If you continue eating 500 calories a day it will possible even stop. With that there are some rather nasty potential long term consequences both in body and mind. Just for your reading interest try googling the Minnesota Starvation Project and see what happens from extremely low calories. I hope you realize that the people here, and this site are not ignorant of how to lose weight, many of us have done so. Not only that, we have done so healthily and for most of us are healthier, stronger, and more fit then when we started. I can guarantee that on 500 calories a day, you will not be.

You and your body need help. Please see a nutritionist or Doctor.

Your goal is 100 lbs. That is too low for most adults. I think your intention is to be too skinny with little regard to your health. It's not worth it. This could lead to a psychological problem - i.e. eating disorder. Steer clear now and get happy with yourself first.

You are entirely right though. We do eat bigger portions than we ought to. Cut your portion sizes to a reasonable amount, but don't cut out food.

Unbelievable. Everyone thinks they're an expert on this website. A caution to everyone: unless you are a nutritionist, you are not qualified to be telling others how many calories they should be eating and how many workout calories lost they should be eating back. Everyone is unique. For example, the goals for a person who is obese will be different from a person who is just slightly overweight. There is no cookie cutter answer...to act like there is? That's not a good idea.
