    Never ever ever ever under 1200 calories!! As everyone up there has already said your body NEEDS food. Two examples of why, first I was not eating enough and could not lose the weight, ate more and poof it's melting off! Secong my friend also was not eatig enough, waay less than what I was eating, and ended up in the hospital.... There are no quick fixes, you have to work hard for what you want... believe me, patience has been my issue lately too.. I want to just wake up and look like I could be a Victoria's secret model, but I know it will take some more hard work and patience...

    If you are a newborn baby, yes, 500 calories is the recommended amount!

    You can do irreversible damage to yourself by crash-dieting, don't do it.

    1200 minimum.

    NO... NO... NO! not a good idea...your body will go into starvation mode and begin to hold on to anything you eat. Easiest way to lose weight is eat well and exercise. It's as simple as that! ...however...(lots of discipline and motivation required:smile: )

    If you like hospital stays and feeding tubes, sure. It's not healthy or sustainable. Please don't do that to yourself, your kids need a happy, healthy mom, not one who is sickly and wasting away.

    Nope, it's not ok. It's bad for your health. And that sweet little boy in your picture deserves a healthy mom, don't you think?

    I survived on 500 a day and I had a life threatening eating disorder.
    I'm not even going to go into all the health risks, I think the fact I nearly killed myself eating so little speaks loud enough.

    So very much this ^^^ Good of you to speak about your own experience with the same thing!

    I ended up in the hospital twice when I was 19 because of doing this same thing, terrifying.

    Precisely. The human body CANNOT survive on so few calories. In honesty, 500 calories was a high amount for me, I lived on 200 - 300 and it never stayed in me long.
    The result of eating so few calories?
    Constant shivering, trembling, because you are freezing cold even with winter layers on in the middle of a heat wave.
    No energy to even get out of bed.
    Brittle, snapping hair and nails because your body won't waste calories on your hair, nails and skin when your ORGANS ARE SHUTTING DOWN.
    Not to mention the migraines, pain, lethargy, exhaustion, electrolyte imbalance, vision impairment, fuzzy hair growing on your skin...
    Need I go on?
    Anyone who things that this is a good idea, please, just speak to somebody who has had an eating disorder.
    There is nothing glamorous about starvation.

    I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious.

    Adipex is a prescription drug.

    Therefore? Ask your doctor. He's going to tell you to eat more, and there's a chance that the good doc will refuse to issue you a refill because what you're doing is ridiculously unsafe, but hey, there's the solution.

    No No No. Just No. Please educate yourself regarding proper diet, nutrition and weight loss and make this a healthy lifestyle change. What is your rush to lose the weight fast? You didn't gain the weight over night..you're not going to lose it over night either. Fast weight loss = gain it all back just as fast.

    It's very unhealthy, and you're likely to go back to your old ways when you start to get hungry.

    I've lost 5 pounds in the last 2-3 weeks, eating 1900 calories per day.
