   you have to have more calories than that or your body will think you are starving your self
   and it will go into survival mode and turn what calories you do have into fat.
   so you will not loose wight at all.

   You’ll lose more than just weight. Less than 300 calories for ANYONE can be dangerous.

   None, you will lose only muscle .. body will go into starvation mode and reserve fat.. stay on at least 1500 calories a day and exercise more, build muscle, it weights more so expect to gain at first then you will lose safely!

   if you go onto a starvation diet like this…your body will go into famine mode & to begin with…it will store the fat so you’ll lose nothing at first. you’ll also be tired, dizzy & not well….stick to a more sensible calorie intake.

   Are you trying to kill yourself?

   That is what is going to happen if you eat less than 300 calories a day.

   It took a long time to put the weight on and it will take time to take the weight off. Be patient.

   Eat 1200 calories a day and exercise everyday. The weight will start falling off in no time. Make sure that the calories consumed are not empty calories. Eat healthy. Veggies, fruit, lean meats, chicken & fish. Stay away from processed foods and diet sodas.

   Well, I did a 500 calorie or less diet, I asked YAHOO! and everyone said it was stupid etc and I wouldn’t lose any weight, well im not that over weight so weight would come off me slower anyway I have been doing the 500 calorie diet for 4 weeks and have lost a total of 16lbs (1st 2 lbs) and Im still losing everyday, and i still have energy etc, i do recommend to drink lots of water tho because i didnt first of all and i get real dizzy when i walked around but found out it was due to water not food 😀 good luck

   eating less calories is not the healthiest thing to do. in fact it can cause you to gain weight because your body will go into preservation mode and store the little calories you consume as fat

   Eating 300 calories a day is pratically impossible. you would have to eat only crackers and water! most people consume at least 3000 calories a day. cutting down to 1000 sounds alittle more reasonable. Eat 2 servings of veggies and fruits wit each meal. eat breakfast once you get up. eat low sugar cereal or oatmeal. make sure to also exercise. good calories fighter exercises are swimming, running, and dancing!

    well to start with you will lose lots fast.
    then, your body will try and survive so your metabolism will slow.
    then, on average about 21days later you will be hospitalized and put on a drip so stat stable then be given help to gain or you will die.
    dont be stupid enough to do it to yourself if you still have a chance or way out.
    be happy

    Starving will turn your body into a fat storage machine, you will lose mostly water weight and the lean tissue your body will strip to access nutrition. Your body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food available (not just calorically high food, but nutritionally high food)..

    I would suggest you dramatically increase, well above your needs, food intake with low carb foods. It will take your body awhile to access the fat stores depending how long you’ve been in starvation mode, but you shouldn’t gain weight, other than water weight and the lean tissue your body has had to strip to access nutrition. If you are young enough and do this, you may be able to repair the damage to your metabolism before it becomes permanent.

    Metabolism is controlled by nutrition. You can’t eat 300/1000/2000 calories of vegetables & fruit (pick a number, it doesn’t matter – only the amount of fat stored changes), your body will treat it as being starved (which it is, starved of nutrition) and will shut down your metabolism as if you’re eating nothing, but will store every possible ounce as fat. Inversely, you wont gain weight on 5000 or more calories of fat & protein (if fat is 65% of calories) because insulin (the fat storage hormone) is not activated.

    High fat, adequate protein and very low carbs will after 3 days convert your body to burning fat as fuel (ketosis). While in ketosis you will burn dietary fat and if dietary fat is more than sufficient, body fat directly. High calories will keep the metabolism at maximum fat burning capabilities.

    Your body requires fats, you will die without them. Your body requires protein, you will die without them. You will die if you eat protein without fat. You do not require carbohydrates. The body can manufacture all it needs from the protein/fat combination.

    You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

    If you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.

    Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

    High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.

    Once you get near your goal, you start adding 5 carbs every 3 days til you gain weight, then you subtract 10 carbs. That would give you your personal carb level (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) As long as you remain <9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn't gain weight. Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.

    Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a "diet" Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Lutz "Life without Bread" & Taubes "Good calorie, bad calorie" are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.

    I have noticed that car insurance organizations know the cars which are liable to accidents and also other risks. Additionally, these people know what form of cars are inclined to higher risk plus the higher risk they’ve the higher a premium charge. Understanding the very simple basics involving car insurance will allow you to choose the right form of insurance policy that could take care of the needs you have in case you get involved in any accident. Thank you sharing the actual ideas on the blog.

    I am grateful for your post. I would like to say that the price of car insurance differs from one scheme to another, for the reason that there are so many different facets which play a role in the overall cost. One example is, the make and model of the motor vehicle will have a tremendous bearing on the purchase price. A reliable ancient family car or truck will have a less expensive premium than the usual flashy racecar.

By way of example, the make and model of the vehicle will have a huge bearing on the price tag. A reliable aged family vehicle will have a less expensive premium than a flashy racecar.
