Eating around 800 cal a day

7 years ago, I was on a 800 calorie diet through high school in order to lose weight fast. I ended up DESTROYING my thyroid and reproductive system.

It isn't worth it. Up your calorie intake, eat higher calorie/higher protein foods.

Same thing was happening to me.... after a while started getting lots of hypothyroidism symptoms without realising what they were, then mineral deficiencies, and to add injury to insult, stopped losing weight as well as my metabolism came to a halt.

So not only isn't it worth it, it doesn't work... perhaps you'll lose weight in the beginning, even for a number of months and feel ok for a while, but sooner or later you will HAVE to go back to a higher calorie intake, and when you do, expect all those losses to reverse themselves pretty quickly.
