Can I lose weight by eating less than 500 calories?

Im 15. I drink about 1.25 gallons of water a day. I run 2 reasonably fast miles (about 9:40 on hilly pavement). I take daily chewable multivitamins. Unfortunately, I take a "fat-burner" energy supplement (I say unfortunately because I know it's probably horrible in the long run) It is effective though. The point of my diet is to lose a lot of fat. The pill speeds up metabolism and I space out my small healthy snacks, e.g. Half a protein bar before run, half after, banana and small snacks for dinner, light yogurt at night. It ends up being <500 cal a day. I drink water constantly, and I'm never hungry. I eat no wheat. I feel great and I'm losing weight but I'm wondering if my body I burning the fat or if the weight loss will eventually level off. Any info would be great. Thanks!

How to Lose Weight With Tea

Recommended Answer:

As a teenager, you should not be eating that low at all. YOU WILL STOP GROWING. Teenagers should be gaining weight, because you are developing and growing into an adult. Eat 2000+ calories, even if that means you have to swap out your 1.25 gallons of water for milk or juice. And if you're worried about hydration you should be eating fruits and veggies. You NEED calories like you NEED vitamins. If you don't get enough calories, the vitamins are a waste.

Other Answers:

• Your body isn't burning any real fat, your body is burning off all your muscles. Man quit with these idiotic pills and starving your body. Read up on how to lose weight the proper way. Its ALL about the diet. Exercise is just small part of it.If you want to increase your metabolism, eat 6 small healthy meals a day. A healthy meal would be like some oats and fruits or some yogurt and raisins.
• I'm 15 also! I started weight watchers about a year ago and I've lost 50lbs. I was 160lbs & now im 110! did try the under 500 cal thing and I read some about it and it really isn't that good for you:/ your body needs more nutrients! I think you've got a good exercise going, I really think you should try weight watchers. It's amazing! I used to get called a whale & stuff like that, but the people who used to call me that are now like "oh wow I'm so sorry for making fun of you last year!" ...it's the best feeling ever. Hope I helped and good luck (:
• Your just losing water weight if you eat tht many calories your body will think your starving and actually store everything you eat as fat if you want to lose weight eat 1500 calories of preferably fruit and meats your body naturally burnes 3000 calories each day just by keeping you alive

I keep waking up every 2-4 hours every night for the past two months?

Every night, I would go to sleep early, or late, and still end up with the same result; waking up every two hours. This happened all of a sudden, and I wasn''t going through anything at the time to be stressed. I do have a few disorders that would contribute to the loss of sleep, but like I said, it''s never happened like this before. I''ve had some pretty stressful/emotional events happen, yet, I sleep perfectly. I would oversleep as well. Now, I can''t. I would try staying up all day, and go to sleep.. same result. I tried staying up more than 36 hours, same thing. Now, here''s the thing that I don''t fully understand; I can sleep from 6am to 8pm without waking up. From morning until night. Usually you can fix that by staying up all day until a certain time, then fall to sleep and stay asleep. Which usually set my schedule & worked for me. I was thinking I may have insomnia at best, but we never buy any sleep medication to help it, nor will my parents believe me. It frustrates me quite a bit, especially since sleeping used to be my getaway, to feel better when I''m down.
Please, if anybody could help me on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. x

Why Don''t I Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
I used to wake up at 3am most mornings. It would annoy the hell out of me, so what i did was go to the gym. Go as late as you can, i go around 8.30-9.30, that way it physically exhausts your body and you sleep through the night. You need to do a big of running or weights (light or heavy) just make sure you feel pumped by the end of it, cause that usually means a good nights sleep. It may also be something in your diet or dehydration.. Which by going to the gym, you drink more water and get your body fitness up and are more inclined to eat healthier.. But dont try pills! Go natural first :D

Hope this helps somehow

How To Lose Weight Fast - The Secret To Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
Firstly, cut out all the junk food, processed food, sugary foods, sugary drinks, white rice, white bread etc etc.

What you want is brown rice, brown bread, all the complex carbs. They''re healthier for you as you break them down slowly so it provides you with a constant source of energy, whereas (i.e.) white bread would give you a sugar spike which isn''t healthy.

Secondly, eat several meals a day. Don''t eat too much at one time. Eat a balanced meal, enough veggies, proteins, carbs. Try not too eat too late either. If you''re eating real late (i.e. midnight snack) be vary of what you''re eating. You also don''t want to eat out that much, never sure what they put in your food. READ NUTRITIONAL LABELS.

Thirdly is Sports/Activities. You gotta do them. Use up your energy, burn up the calories, stay healthy. I.e. go jogging. What''s best though is interval training. What I mean by that is running for 1min, jogging for 1 min, repeat several times. This''ll really get your heart pumping and''ll shed tons of fat from you. Resistance training (working out) also burns lots of calories. You should mix up your exercises.

SLEEP IS IMPORTANT. You need at least 8 hours of sleep per day.

If you''re really serious, you can count your calorie intake.

• Anorexia.
• Hi,
  The ONLY way to lose weight is to take in less calories than you use. However, you must be sensible about this. Gradual, maintained weight loss is far better than crashing it off only to pile it on again because you go back to your old eating ways as soon as you get your weight down.
  To drop 2 lbs each week is plenty - giving you 18 weeks to reach your goal.
  You really should get a thorough understanding of how to do this. There''s an excellent article and short email seties on fitnessweightwellness.com - and there''s nothing to pay.
  Good luck.
• Doing Suryanamaskara (Sun Salutation) Yoga Exercise will definitely reduce your weight. As an addition you will get good concentration and mental health.

Why People Want to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
SQUATS if you want toned legs and a shaped butt. For the weight loss start doing cardio, go for jogs, swim, any calisthenics in repetitions. And eat healthier. Don''t eat less daily, eat smaller portions instead of less meals. Like instead of eating only 3 larger meals eat 6 smaller meals throughout the day

• You seem average weight to me, but if you really want to here are a couple ways!
  -Eat healthy
  -Carrots, celery, lots of greens they tend to have low cals. and lots of nutrients depending on the veggi!
  -Work out
  -The ''Y'' usually encourages you more, but at home for 30 min works, too! Get a work out disc to make it fun or go on an actually bike ride like a path way you have where you can go fast, push yourself, etc. Buy some weights too!(: 2 12lbs!
  - Diet Pills
  - If you''re parents will let you ask for hydroxi-cut gummy vitamins.
• Aerobic classes will make you damn perfect,
  trust me you will delete all this pics of your phone and comments of your mind when you go for aerobic classes.
  Eat whatever you want.
  But go for aerobic classes,
