500 cal diet

Thought I would share this;

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has disclosed PRock Marketing LLC would recall all Fruta Planta weight loss products, after testing confirmed they contained sibutramine, a drug withdrawn from the market for safety reasons.

According to the FDA, PRock, a branding and distribution company, is recalling Fruta Planta and Reduce Weight Fruta Planta. The FDA said it has received "multiple reports of adverse events" associated with the use of the products, including several cardiac events and one death.

The FDA advised consumers halt use of the product "immediately" and throw it away in a sealed container to avoid consumption. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects were advised to consult a health care professional.

PRock's recall notice recommends consumers destroy the product or return it to the company. Consumers may reach PRock at 1-877-225-1009.

According to a website where the product was sold, Fruta Planta was an "all natural organic" Chinese weight loss drug that touted its ability to eliminate body fat, saying users could lose up to 15 pounds in the first month without diet or exercise. Fruta Planta was marketed as a product that could boost metabolism, curb appetite and cut food cravings.

A notice on the website said that the FDA had not directly contacted the company to obtain testing samples and therefore said it could not confirm if the "authentic formula" was in fact consumed. Efforts to reach the company were initially unsuccessful.

The disclosure came after the FDA sent a letter to dietary-supplement makers earlier this month expressing concern about improperly labeled products with substances that don't qualify as dietary ingredients. The FDA has alerted consumers to at least 300 tainted products marketed to dietary supplements in recent years and received numerous injury complaints related to them.

Unlike drugs, dietary supplements don't require FDA approval, though manufacturers and distributors are responsible for selling a safe product.

A 500 calorie a day diet is unacceptable. Don't die to die and be skinny.

Amen.

Those pills have been advised against. Maybe her experience has been good, but it doesn't seem to be effective for many people.

Be safe! I am doing the Cabbage Soup Diet allows for a very low calorie intake and though it's not the best thing it is safe.

I eat enough. It's another option is you are considering such drastic options. I've been desperate for change, too.

Good luck!

pretty sure 'realistically' you would end up in a hospital and not be able to go anywhere.

As for a 500 calorie a day diet, it is not healthy. You are better off eating about 1200 calories a day and exercising intensly. If that photo of your profile pic is what you look like right now, you have done wonderful and are looking hot! You most likely want to just tone up the curves you currently have, you can accomplish that by eating healthy and working out with cardio and weight training.

Your body requires a minimum of 1200 calories just to exist, if you start "starving" your body it will start holding onto your fat, because it has more calories, then you will be losing muscle mass instead of residual fat. Your metabolism will slow down to conserve energy even when you are working out hard.

You wouldn't run your car without gas or water, why would you want to do that to your most prized possessions....your body and mind?!

Wow........that would be enough for me

It'll screw up your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight later on. And then it'll be more important because other health issues will be linked with your weight.

I know you're 18 and don't want to listen to an old fart like me.
BUUUUUUTTTTTT
when your 18 your body seems to be able to rebound from anything, but sometimes you just don't know what you've done til your 50.

Yeah bad idea, eat at least 1000 and burn 500 with exercise. 500 is too risky, good luck

Based on your food diary it looks like you are already practicing your 500 calorie diet. Good luck with that!

As for me in 12 weeks? I will be another 20 pounds lighter by eating 1,500 calories a day. I will have just switched to maintenance mode and will be eating around 2,400 calories a day. I will actually be full swing into building muscle mode and will be eating plenty exercise calories back to do it.

Seriously, learn to read from a point of curiosity not judgment or agenda. That way you can change your mind when you learn something.
