Will you lose weight quickley if you eat about 450 calories a day?

Question

this is for a project for school, i dont plan on doing this but im curious.

if you ate about 450 calories a day and did not exercise would you lose weight? if so how much?

Answer 1

you would lose as much muscle and water as you did fat

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure you'll lose weight but having only 450 calories a day will not be good for body

Answer 3

If you ate 450 calories for day, you'd end up very very sick in the long run. 450 calories is barely a healthy meal in it's own and if that's all you had in a day, you'd be really unhealthy.

Answer 4

unless youre very small 450 calories a day isnt enough for all the metabolic functions the body performs, forcing it to go into its fat reserves. youd be losing at least 2lbs per week.

Answer 5

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Answer 6

well, on a 2000 calorie a day diet, assuming you were holding your weight then, then you'd be losing a pound a day(a pound is about 1500 calories), but it'd be pointless and very unhealthy. you're only supposed to loose 1-2 pounds a week and it be safe.

Answer 7

No you wouldn't lose weight, you'd actually gain weight.

Because you're eating so little, your body thinks that's there's a famine going on, and because of this, it will store, in the form of fat, any food going into your body so that it could "use it for a later time"

Answer 8

Not as quickly if you where to eat more calories derived from healthier foods. Denying yourself slows down your metabolism, slowing weight loss.

Answer 9

possibly but that's not enough caloric intake...you may become tired, irritable with headaches...your body may also go into starvation mode and hold on to all the calories that you consume.
