Can you let me know how many lbs would someone lose by eating 500 calories in like 2 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is pretty drast: Such drastic measures are not practical for long term weight control. So eat half way decently like about 1000 to 1200 calories a day, exercise daily and you will lose about 1 pound a week. That should be your goal. As they say.." slow and steady wins the race" you have to be practical as weight control is a long term discipline in eatimng properly and staying healthy.

I'm losing 1-2 lbs. per day because I've restricted myself to a 500-calorie/day diet. Is it okay to lose up to 2 lbs per day as long as my diet is healthy and I'm doing cardio? I was told 1 lb. per week is safer. Why wouldn't 1-2 lbs. a day be good?
