Starvation: Too little calories- 600 a day, will send your body into starvation mode and may work against your ability to lose weight. You shouldnt have anything less than 1200 calories a day. If you exercise you should lose weight. You shouldnt use a diet pill either- it may have unwarranted side effects.
