I lost 12% weight and so far in first place.the person who is trying to beat me has lost 8%.can they beat me by eating 800 cal a day for last week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
800 cal diet: Cutting down calories can be good for you if you are aiming to lose weight, but bringing that down to 800 calories can be quite a drastic step to take. 800 cal is considered to be one in the VLCD (Very-low-calorie diet) range and should never be undertaken except under medical supervision. Although you can lose 3 pounds in 7 days, it can lead to severe nutritional deficiencies and health issues.
