Ive only been eating 400 calories a day, not enough weight loss is there a legal drug to lose weight faster?

Answer 1

i know what you mean. i thought that eating less is going to make me lose weight faster. but that's not the answer. the problem was that i wasn't exercising. and i think you're not either. just about a week ago, i started running about 2 miles a day. i also manage what i eat. i try staying away from bread,rice, and sweets. you should also stay away from sodas, even if it's diet. after about a week, i've lost about 5 pounds. i also drink about 3 cups of green tea a day. that will boost your metabolism. it's very healthy for you too. i hope i helped out. but if you want there's another way to loose weight. you can eat your 400 calories, but then run and burn it off. so run about more than an hour a day. that will help you lose the weigh too. hope i helped! :D

Yes. There are a wide range of lethal poisons you can take. Once you are dead you will continue to lose until you are down to a skeleton. Don't be an idiot! Even if you lost weight, isn't your goal to look better? To get there, eat a nutritious reducing diet and exercise.
A total fast, while less calories than 400, would not increase weight loss if the 400 is wisely chosen. Drugs plus fasting is the worst idea of all.

Answer 4

You won't lose any weight if you only eat 400 calories a day.
Your body needs at least 1000 calories to be able carry out daily tasks. Exercising burns off excess calories stored in your bodyfat.
If your body doesn't get the 1000 calories it needs to function on a basic level, the brain thinks the body is starving and takes special precautions. It shuts down many of the normal functions of the body, lowering the metabolism, making you tireder, slower and less able to burn of calories.
Eating too little can actually make you gain weight. In a starvation scenario the brain doesn't know when it's next meal will be, and so rather than burning calories instructs the body to store the energy.
Eating a well balanced diet of around 1000 calories and taking regular physical exercise is the only way to lose weight.

Answer 5

take it from some one who has lost a substantial amount of weight. i lost 70 pounds the year after i graduated high school. it's been a couple years now and i've been able to keep it off and i'm doing really well. eating that amount of calories is not enough, and it's unhealthy. like everyone else said, you're body is storing the calories you eat because it's the only things it's getting right now. you need to exercise everyday or at least 5 or 6 days a week and you need to stick to it. and depending on your height, age, and weight at this point, you need to do some research and figure out what your ideal calorie intake per day would be. the weight will not come off over night. that's not the way it works. there is NO healthy way for weight to come off that quickly. if you want to do things healthy, and not end up in the hospital, take my advice.

Answer 6

With only eating 400 calories a day your body is in the "starvation mode" - which means your metabolism has slowed down to preserve some calories for energy. Try increasing it to 800 to 1000 calories a day, use fruits, some dairy, vegetables and no red meat - stick to chicken and fish. Also, yogurt is healthy and has been proven to help with weight loss. Also try the weight control mulivitamins that One-A-Day has put out.

Answer 7

The problem is that you aren't eating enough.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Answer 8

400 calories a day isn`t enough, you`re starving yourself and will cause yourself permanent damage like this. You should be eating 1000-1200 to lose weight and taking regular (but not extreme) excersise. The advised and realistic weight loss to remain healthy is 2lb a week

Answer 9

No! You have ruined your metabolism by eating 400 calories a day! Nothing is going to work for you now, not even exercise. Not to mention the fact that you are going to gain a LOT of weight, and it will be impossible to take off.

Answer 10

Did you know that most prisoners of war are given 850 calories a day.

Hope that puts it into context about how stupid 400 a day is.

The best thing is exercise- but youll need to eat sensibly if you want to be able to do it! Try cutting out all the processed junk and only eat 'natural' stuff.

Remember also that alcohol is empty calories...

But please do it sensibly.
