Ask your doc.
The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won't help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don't eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i'm going pretty well if i don't say myself. 90 LBS isn't anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. Just please be patient for ppl seem to email me for advice on this, I will reply, don't worry! ~Adia`

Your body needs more than 500 calories a day just to run the stuff that is needed to keep you alive. Your body is eating itself for survival. Eat fruits and veggies. Leave off the fried things, no fast food, no baked goods, nothing white. The fruits and veggies gives your body the nutrition it needs to make other elements it needs. But do not skim on the nutrition your body needs. Your brain needs sugar and it converts the food you eat into sugar and if you don't give it good nutrition it will convert "brain tissue" into sugar to feed itself.
And as I've said before calories in and calories out. Exercise if it is only to walk. You can lay in the floor and do some great exercises without even going outside. Stand up and move to your favorite music for 30 minutes or so twice a day.

Please, you need to speak to someone about your food intake immediately. In the first place, please speak to your mom or to another adult you trust; you also need to speak to a doctor. Eating so little is really not healthy and even can be counterproductive. Crash dieting can make you sick and weak; it can affect your heart and your endocrine system. Purging can also damage your osophagus. There is a possibility you have an eating disorder and you must seek help.
For your height, you are already at a healthy weight. Anything below 112lb would be underweight and would be unhealthy. You really need to consider why you want to lose so much weight and fast.
What you are doing is counterproductive anyway. Diets, especially extreme ones (less than 800 calories per day) can slow down the metabolism so ultimately, you have to eat less and less to continue to lose. Your body will begin to shut down. That is not to say that losing weight is impossible, but you need to do it sensibly. Start eating more, but eating smart, so that you achieve healthy weight loss until you are at a healthy weight and stay there.
- You *need* protein. If you don't get in protein, your body will begin to use muscle mass instead. If you are a vegetarian, that means beans, pulses, lentils and tofu. If you include dairy, drink fat free milk and try some low fat cheese. I'd even say in your case that you should try some of the low-calorie protein shakes that are available.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. It'll fill you up and provide vital nutrients
- Replace the cereal and muffins with good carbs: multigrain, wholewheat bread, brown rice, wholewheat pasta.
- Drink lots of water.
- Eat everything in moderation. Better to have 4-5 small meals a day than 2-3 big gut-busters you then want to purge.
- Don't deny yourself every pleasure or you'll go nuts. Try some of the lower fat/lower calorie alternatives (some of them are rather good nowadays) or just have limited portions of your favorite foods
- Avoid all junk food. It's crammed with fat to make it taste good.
- Replace snack foods like crisps or biscuits with fruit or nuts.
And please, let me say again: please speak to someone about this. There are people who can help

Sounds like you have an eating disorder. Go see a doctor. Starving yourself is the wrong and very unhealthy way to lose weight. Exercise and proper diet will have you looking outrageous in a few months. You need to increase your calorie intake slowly, and exercise. My wife is 5'5" and weighs 112 pounds. We have three kids. She exercises about 3-4 days a week after the kids go to bed. She looks outrageous. If a working mom with 3 kids can do it so can you.

i stumbled on the e book to be very informative and straightforward to study. i've got lost 17 pounds in 12 days, i'm basically in contact that i'm dropping too plenty weight, too without delay. i'm going to confess i haven't observed the handbook precisely. i'm not sticking completely to the listed meals and meal plans (yet customarily) and doing little or no exercising, however the burden keeps flying off. It for sure works and if i could observed it precisely i think of it may scare the residing daylights out of me because of the quantity that i could lose. So thank you back for the information. i've got in no way bought something like this until eventually now because of the fact they are often finished of trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful ask your self. start at present!

you're going to get loads of answers saying you have an ED, but i'm sure you know that, so to answer your actual question...
i eat more than that and am 5'6 99lbs and still losing...
so yes you will lose lots more weight, i can't be sure of the exact amount, but i eat an average of 700 calories a day, and the bulk of that in an evening, so i'm sure you will continue to rapidly lose weight on that diet.
