If you managed to survive the whole week you might actually weigh MORE. Eating so little your metabolism screeches to a complete halt and your body goes into starvation or survival mode to conserve every bit of fuel you put into it. You will not be burning any fat whatsoever. Your body will be feeding off of your muscles and internal organs (including your heart) just for the energy to stay alive!
If you are trying to lose weight you should be exercising for a MINIMUM of 60 minutes every day, and eating at least every 2-3 hours. Eating at least 5 or 6 small meals or healthy snacks every day will speed up your metabolism, combined with the exercise, you will drop weight off in no time. You should never go under 1200 calories per day for any reason. Also, the more active you are, the more calories you need in your diet to give you the energy to get through your day without damaging your body.

Is it ok to eat only 1000 calories a day and work out 5 x per week to lose weight?
I am a 31 year old female, 5’1, 138 pounds.. trying to lose 30 pounds in 90 days.
I am working out 5-6 times a day for 30 minutes (I burn about 230 calories per 30 minutes)… Why does everyone say to eat 1200? I think 1000 will get me to my goal faster.

If you don’t give your body enough fuel to support the work you are doing, your metabolism will actually slow down and go into starvation mode, causing you to gain weight or lose it much more slowly. Feed your body and it will thank you!
Lizzie asks…
What is a safe amount of weight to lose per week?
My heaviest weight was 105 kgs about 2 years ago.
In the last 13 weeks I have lost 10.9kgs. Is this safe? I’ve been eating right and exercising. I’m now at 86.1kgs.
weight loss cardiff answers:
I don’t know metrics, but it depends on what shape you’re in when you start. If you have a lot of weight to lose, it is semi normal to lose a lot right off. If you have less weight to lose, 2 or 3 pounds per week is normal if you’re just eating healthy and exercising.
