    Nope. That’s a recipe for failure.

    It is an unhealthy and unrealistic plan. That is the kind of plan you will not be able to sustain long term.

    Put your information into myfitnesspal. Get a reasonable calorie goal. Eat that amount. Lose weight safely.
    Make small changes to diet and exercise over time.

    Unhealthy plan.

    Better plan? Fill out your MFP profile, select a weight loss target rate that's no more than 1% of your body weight per week, and consistently eat the recommended number of calories, or close to it. Bonus points if the foods you choose are mostly nutrient-dense, and you get some exercise (and eat back at least 50% of those calories, too).

    Seriously: Get a plan that's sustainable, and will leave you strong and healthy.

    Don't do the 800 calorie thing, unless you're a toddler, and don't do it then, either, because toddlers are growing and shouldn't be restricting calories except under close medical supervision. You shouldn't be restricting calories that much unless under close medical supervision either, because it's a serious health risk.

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    3. No Promotion of Unsafe Weight-Loss Techniques or Eating Disorders

    a) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products will be removed without warning.
    b) Profiles, groups, messages, posts, or wall comments that encourage anorexia, bulimia, or very low calorie diets of any kind will be removed, and may be grounds for account deletion. This includes positive references to ana/mia, purging, or self-starving. Our goal is to provide users with the tools to achieve their weight management goals at a steady, sustainable rate. Use of the site to promote, glamorize, or achieve dangerously low levels of eating is not permitted.
    c) Photos intended to glamorize extreme thinness will be deleted.
    d) Those seeking support in their recovery from eating disorders are welcome at MyFitnessPal.

    MyFitnessPal strongly recommends that anyone suffering from the symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, or Compulsive eating make use of the resources offered by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders.
