Can I lose 5 pounds in a week by eating 500 calories a day?

[N192K001]

Have you verified your body mass index (B. M. I.)?
www.nhs.uk/.../
This tool from N. H. S. takes into account more than just height & weight.

Granted, B. M. I. was devised by an insurance-statistician (NOT a medical professional), so it does not really measure health, but health-risks. It also does not differentiate between fat & anything else (water, muscles, etc.). But it still does seem to be effective within reason.

Using what little information you've given, you seem to already have healthy weight, but bordering on underweight. (Please, verify by trying with the more complete data you do know about yourself that we don't.)

Just to be sure, what would make you think you need to lose weight? (If you decide to upload a picture, showing your face might not be safest, given online face-recognition tools.)

DO NOT REDUCE YOUR CALORIE INTAKE TO ANYTHING LIKE 500 CALORIES A DAY.

You are a fucking teenager and do not have a weight problem.

You do however had a mental problem with how you see yourself.

Unless you are hundreds of pounds and clearly enourmous weight loss is nothing to do with teenagers, at all.

If you want to look your best then you should eat well, plenty of good food, vegetables etc and you should be active, thats it, it isn't complicated.

You should never be on a diet, because diets dont work this has been well known since long before you were born.

You can actually lose a lot of things: hair, mental stability, consciousness, etc...

This is literally a gateway to forming an eating disorder. 500 calories is less than what a TODDLER is recommended to eat.

Also, fucking with your body can actually cause hormones to change in your thyroid, forcing your body to retain whatever weight it can to survive.

Talk. To. A. Doctor. Crash diets are called what they are for a reason.

Don’t starve yourself. Eat healthy and get enough protein and work out. Starving yourself will make you saggy like this and we don’t want that.

You will end up in the hospital. You should not lose any weight. You are already a bit too thin.

[Chadnelson1973]

At your age and height you don't need to loose any weight at all that would be very unhealthy !!!
Ignore those who tell you to loose weight they don't have your best interest in mind they also don't have a degree in the medical field and are not a registered dietitian.

[KacchanExplosion]

In a week probably not at that point you're gonna be on a very strict diet and exercise and once you stop it you'll go back to whatever you are now. It also depends on hour genetics. I'd say eat healthy and keep working for long term satisfaction instead of short term

[Alistar88]

Why do you need to weigh 95 lbs? 100 lbs is skinny as hell already. You are not fat. Plus at that age you shouldn't care about your size and I bet that person would care less either

[AuroraRoseat]

Sounds like you don't need to lose any weight because it's going to be dangerous for your health, especially since you're still developing.

[VikingBlood86]

Technically yes, but don't. It's not healthy and it's not sustainable. You'd just gain it right back and likely more.

[Anonymous]

Your body will go into starvation mode if you do that, and what will happen is your body will store those calories instead of burning them. Don't worry about 5 lbs. If this guy doesn't like you, he's not worth it.

[jinswatermelon]

You could but once you eat normally again you'll gain it all back plus more👌

1. You can't lose 5 pounds in a week
2. You are going to hurt yourself darling
3. If your date is so concerned about what you weigh they aren't the best date

[Celtero]

No. If you want to temporarily lose some weight drink minimal water.

[0112358]

No.

I could. But you’re too small to lose that fast.

[Sweatyotterr]

Yeah that’s doable probably not very healthy and it’s unlikely your date would notice

[Kelly6]

Best way to lose that much in a week is if you fully stop eating any carbs.

[Nightflight95]

I think you don't need to lose any weight. You're pretty light for 160 cm.🙂

[bimmy5000]

You are already very small you don't need to lose anything.

[Anonymous]

Very unsafe way to lose weight besides, from the look of it, you don't need to lose weight

[UI_Vegeta01]

You want to die early or what? You better gain weight. 120 pounds would be the ideal weight for you.

[Kru2020]

-3500 calories from your maintenance calories is -1 lbs

[Paris13]

5 POUNDS IS JUST WATER HERE, DEAR, SO YES. xx

[Anonymous]

No you’re already skinny.

[oldoldold]

[Anonymous]

Why though? You would be less attractive

[Fuentes]

To young to be worried about your weight

[legalboxers]
