Can I survive on an 800 calorie diet?

[Anonymous]

i am a women 5'5'' and i weight 117lbs

but my acting agencey wants me to drop to 103lbs

i do 30 mins of yoga + 30 mins of pilates + 2hrs of dance mon -sat.
and Sunday is my rest day.

im currently eating just what i want except for like cookies and potato chips but i dont keep track of the calories. i just eat what i want... but now i need to loose like 15lbs in one month so im trying to see if a 800 calorie diet of just various veggies, fruit, boiled potatos, boiled eggs and whole wheat toast for one month can do the trick... but do you think i would get like liver failure or anything from such a low calorie diet?

my agencey said i have until may 10th to succeed

You need 2000 calories a day because your active and your building muscle. Your body is going to store some energy of you consume 800 calories because you burn more than that. Don't be afraid to eat. Just eat healthy if your restrict yourself, you're just going to binge and gain weight faster. If you want to lose weight faster be a vegan for month. You can eat so much food and it's healthy. You can loose weight, also don't over exercise you really just need 45 mins of cardio. Try HIIT workouts they bun calories after your done working out. Do HIIT twice a week, lift once a week. Building muscle burns fat faster.

Nope, your body will go into starvation mode.

Your brain is more worried about keeping you from starving, making sure that you (and your genes) survive.

The body starts trying to conserve energy by reducing the amount of calories you burn, your metabolism slows down. It also makes you feel hungrier, lazier and increases your cravings for food.

Also at 103lbs at your height you will be underweight.

At 103 lbs your BMI would be 17.6. Doctors recommend 18.5 should be the minimum. You will be putting your health, including your fertility, at serious risk.

Don't do it.
