damn, might as well just fast at that point. i wouldn't even bother trying to only eat that little, i'd inevitably go over it.

I’ve been doing under 400-450 for 3 months and it’s hell... yes I lost weight but I would have also lost nearly as much weight eating around 600-700kcals a day and I wouldn’t be miserable! I’m constantly dizzy, constipated, weak, tired, irritable, cannot sleep or function! I wouldn’t recommend it when you could lose weight on a higher amount of kcals!x

Longest I've managed is a week. 

[hopeworld]

Until lunch?

lmao

 

prob 2 days

For me personally, not even a few hours. I have a very very active job and burn over 3,200 a day on days I work. My average per day on fitbit is 2,800 to account for days off. 

where do you work?

Not a single day unless I'm sick

[sweet like cinnamon ♡]

lol until my next meal 😅

[nonetheless98]

I've lasted about a week on that amount with life commitments on top... but by the end of the week I felt like actual death and I couldn't do my workouts like I normally do which gave me more anxiety

2-3 weeks, maybe longer. Depends on how messed up I am at that very moment

[senbei]

at most 3 days lmfao

although in the past i could just function fine bc i would forget about meals since i was super busy and focused on school and extra curriculars

[HippieBear]

A day or two tops. I throw in super low days or fasting days occasionally, but generally 800-1000 is my sweet spot, I've been losing 2-3 pounds a week for several months now.

[Daerienn]

Till lunch? Lol, I'm super active and whenever I restrict lower than 700 kcals, my blood sugar drops and I pass out.

[journeyerr]

that sounds harder than just fasting for a week and letting yourself have a nice binge day of 2500 kcal

that would be about 300 kcal/day average

I’ve done it for 5 months I think, but I was admitted to the hospital, then again, then again. Basically, my health was shit and I got organ failure multiple times, which was what brought me to the hospital 3x, and I got osteoporosis. Don’t do it!

[SuspiriaGirl]

i managed <300 for 2-3 months several times before inevitably binging and undoing all my progress. Now i'm consuming up to 650 - 700 max and it has been sooo helpful in stopping the binges! It was hard at first to increase my cals to that point as i only ever knew low restriction so it makes me feel invalid, but its so much more sustainable. Yes you will lose more slowly but long term you'll be losing more than if you were eating <300 for a few months, binging back on the weight and just maintaining or gaining......

[thinforeverihope]

i did that for like 6 months at one point, no binges or anything cus i didnt even know what that was, i didnt know it would turn into full blown anorexia lol

[Lolapop]

a few hours lmao

[★☆ Blair]

Four days maybe a week if I had enough distractions to keep me away from food.

[aloethere]

a day, maybe two tops. it kinda sucks
