Is this healthy?
My friend recently started eating around 600 calories, and exersising loads. I asked her about it, and she said dont be silly, do I look like I would. She weighs around 160lbs to 167lbs. Thing is, I think there is something wierd, I mean anarexics dont always start out skinny. What should I do?
Simply a Rose to brighten your day, And maybe lessen the cares in your way; And also, too, to help you to know, That in knowing you, many others grow!
How to LOSE weight?
First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn’t gain your weight overnight so don’t expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.
BMI Classification
18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity
Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.
But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.
“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”
As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
It isnt healthy no, but apart from letting her know how unhealthy it is and maybe letting her know how her body can deteriorate from lack off food (specifics may scare her into doing it more slowly), I dont know what else you can do… Also remind her that she’s going to have to start eating normal at some point… And the weight she loses now will just come back…
doctors always recommend eating from 1500 to 2000 calories a day , so , 600 is definitely not healthy
Only 600 calories a day is dangerous. The average female is supposed to intake at least twice as many calories in one day.
If she’s really interested in losing weight, advise her to see a nutritionist so she can find a healthy way to lose weight.
