I'm not sure about 500- but I have been doing 900 calories a day and walking 2 miles and I have lost 6 pounds in a week! I'm trying to fit into a dress by Dec. 15.
Just make sure that you eat a good variety of food that will keep you healthy. Eat lots of veggies and fruits as most of them are low in calories so you can eat a lot. Also make sure you eat some type of lean protein such as dairy, meat, or beans.
GOOD LUCK!

I know this does not make any sense , but if you eat just 500 calories a day.. you will GAIN weight cause the 500 calories a day that you are taking in, your body will STORE it and it will become fat..... i eat 1200 calories a day and in 3 weeks i have lost 5 pounds... tha is a HEALTHY way to lose weight

I know, losing weight is difficult. I was down to 200 cal. a day hoping something would happen. All that happened was me shaking and getting close to passing out. My body kept all my weight, as well. If you try to cut back too much, your body stops giving the weight off. Your body will get scared of starvation and hold your weight in. The best thing to do is portion your meals everyday to a healthy rate for your body, and exercise...I know, it's the same thing everyone says...I get tired of it too...I tried eating less without the exercise, but it turns out that to lose the weight you HAVE to exercise or you'll end up killing your body. Hope this helps.

Well, the way I lost weight was by eating less.
For example, just eat smaller portions.
Like if you eat 3 pizzas, for now on eat only 2 or 1. See, you don't have to starve.
And another trick I used was to eat from smaller plates. If the plate is smaller, then you have no way of eating too much or filling the whole plate with extra food.
Plus, drink lots of water and cut the amount of soda you drink and junk food.
And after a while, you'll get full faster because your stomach will be used to eating less.
Good luck, hope I helped! :)

Either too much or none. Your metabolism may get messed up in the process and you not lose any weight. The way to lose weight is diet and exercise and eating less than 500 calories a day is not going to cut it.

Losing weight is not a quick fix. Your body needs a good 1500 calories a day at least, and it is the type of calories you put into your system. You need a balanced diet that has more fruit and vegetables than anything else. Cut back on red meat, and sugary foods, but don't feel like you have to completely eliminate them. You ought to treat yourself occasionally, and you need the protein red meat has to offer. Combine this with regular exercise and you're in good shape...literally...and remember, everything in moderation, but if you're going to go crazy, eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

that's a really bad way to lose weight. I'm serious, don't do it. A regular active teenager needs 1500-2000 calories a day. I don't know how old you are but... I know 500 calories a day could make you very sick, that is not enough. Try being more active. Calories are just the energy you get from food and they only turn to fat if you don't burn them off.

Don`t do anything silly with your diet,Remember Food got you fatter,food will get you slimmer.
I have recently lost a stone and a half,simply by eating "properly".I am using Rosemary conley books and willpower,also find an exercise you enjoy.The gym is not my thing,but I enjoy cycling,swimming,skipping and walking more.It`s not about dieting it`s about eating properly.I watch what I eat during the week and on a saturday if I want a take-out and choccy I have them and don`t feel guilty about it.I never thought I had it in me,but it can be done without ruining your body.
Good luck

Oooh this is a very very bad plan. You will lose a lot of your lean muscle and water weight and you will set up your metabolism to yoyo you back to an even greater weight gain. I strongly advise against this. Reduce only by a few hundred calories, make your food as nutritiously dense as possible and burn the stored fat with increased exercise.

You'd probably lose a good amount but the minute you start eating right again you'd gain it all back if not double it.
You're never supposed to eat less than 1200 calories a day.
