No, this is a weight loss diet.

You will loose about 14lbs a month.

Personally I think you could if you're eating three healthy meals a day which don't have a lot of calories in, I'm sure it's fine :)

Noooo.....tried it....Sorry get back to at least 1000-1200. Believe me. Dieting is so bad...addictive and does not solve any of your problems. Think before you start.

700 is not going to sustain your body very well. 1000-1200 is more healthy.

No, you need at least twice that.

No. You're body needs more than that just to maintain your body temp and keep your heart beating and your brain functioning. Anything below your BMR and your putting your body into survival mode. Look up a BMR calculator online.

I guess if you're getting all the vital things your body needs, I don't see why not, but there are recommended calorie intakes for a reason.

Well you will survive for a few months and maybe even a year, with only some side effects for not getting other nurtients.

But after that year you will be getting the full side effects, also you will honestly get tired of the same food and will be sick from eating the same thing over and over.

I honestly wouldn't suggest it

no, thats nowhere close to being healthy.
you'll gain weight since you're starving yourself.

It is not enough to sustain the human body, no. The average man needs around 3000 calories a day to function normally, thats an average, and a woman 2000 as an average. Anything less than 2000 for a man is a diet and anything less than that and something will have to give, you will not be of optimum health and feeding yourself properly.

Sure you can. On days I know I won't be very active I only have 700-900 calories a day. Eat when you are hungry and have lots of water. Also take a good multi-vitamin. I wouldn't do this long term though.

If you are very inactive, you will be perfectly fine. But if you are even lightly active, it will not be good for you. If you must diet, fruits and fish are great choices, though you might want to consider vitamin and fiber supplements and PLENTY of water and fruit juices.

1200 calories is the lightest you should go if you want to be at a safe weight.

I wouldn't think so .. you need to be on 3 times that amount to stay healthy. I'm around the 1800 -2000 mark and though my body fat is low enough 13% I wouldn't say I was healthy. You'll get tired easy and suffer lack of motivation. It's not worth trying to be a size 6,8,10 just be YOU. (no lecture) :)

You can survive but your body will go into starvation mode and not lsoe weight yet build up fat, after a few weeks, you need atleast 1500 to 1700 a day with exercise to lose weight.

i wouldn't have thought so love. most low calorie diets are around 1000 calories a day - this amount being what most people need to function. i'd up your intake if i were you. don't wanna make yourself ill now.

You'll get your carbs from fruit to a degree. They have natural sugars that will make you not feel so sluggish. Carbs are needed so you aren't constantly falling asleep; natural sugars are broken down slower than the ones in like, white bread or even cookies so you stay awake longer compared to if you get a sugar high. But you do need dairy, unless you want to be taking calcium supplements.

Now, if you have 700 calories a day, your body will go into a starvation mode. I'm guessing it's for a diet. It will think you're trapped in the middle of a desert, with just a little bit of food, and therefore it will start using less and less calories and make you feel sick.

1200 is the least you can eat each day to stay healthy. Your body uses so many a day; it changes depending on weight and height and age. There are calculators out there to figure it out. But if you go to 700, you will starve your body, and it will eat the muscle away first, no matter how much you exercise. That is the least important to it: not fat. Fat protects it, no matter what society thinks. So if you're stuck in a desert, or starving yourself, it will eat away the muscle, then the fat.

Just eat your meals slowly. You can eat a tiny, tiny plate of food. I put my meals on a plate that's about 5" big in diameter when everyone else eats on a plate that is about 11" in diameter. I eat my food slowly and eat about half what they eat, sometimes less. I used to eat a double quarter pounder meal for lunch and now just ate most of a double cheeseburger, no fries, and am full. If you think you need to do calories, 1200 is pushing it for your body. 1500 is healthier: you reach that amount so fast you don't even realise it. Two cookies are normally 150.

Good luck.

you can if ur eating three healthy meals a day..exercising and it really depends on ur body weight and fat

Why don't you try it and see where it gets you? If after 1 week or 2 weeks, you feel yourself getting weaker or more tired, then stop.

No. you need at least 1200 kcals a day to avoid ur muscles breaking down to provide energy.

you see the energy you consume is used to fuel reactions in your body, chemical reactions that occur from tiny tiny molecules. this is how our bodies work so amazingly, and ur skin and hair renews etc etc.

dont **** with it. A diet of fruit and fish is absolute bollox. u will be constipated, low in energy, highly underweight (osteoporosis, infertility) and in a horrible mood due to low sugars (always).

Not for a long period of time without brain rot

sorry to say this but you really will have no energy and zero concentration and it will make ur breath smell really bad as the hormones used to break down fat have a particular smell- they are in ur gut and when present in large enough quantities (as they would be if u were only having 700 cal a day) can and will make ur breath smell really bad. its not like normal bad breath it has a different smell but its still gross.
you need some fat in ur diet...why try and lose it so quickly and painfully, why not have 1200 cal a day? ull still lose weight and wont put it on so quick again. Do you know what happens when ur body thinks its starving? it cuts down its cal usage until it can survive on what ur giving it so after a while you wont lose much weight anymore and when u eat normally again, you gain far more calories than normally. that is why you can diet for a week, then binge and put the whole lot back on as i have done in the past!
its honesty better to just have some patience and cut down to like 1500 a day. that way it will actually stay off as you cannot eat 700 cal a day for the rest of ur life and will have to eat something fatty at some point. When you do wouldnt you rather not feel guilty afterwards, and know that u wont put it all back on in record time?ur body also burns muscle tissue in preference to fat when its starving, since 700 cal is what ur body would count as a famine, wouldnt you rather know that ur actually burning fat and not muscle? its bizzarre that by dieting too much it can actually make u put on weight quicker and cause ur body to burn stuff that isnt fat, but its 100% true, check it out on heath sites if u dont believe me! also, eating so few calories put a massiuve strain on ur heart as u produce more adrenaline to keep u going and also as the blood composition changes (it does)....anorexics have died of heart attacks brought on by their eating patterns....700 cal a day is actually at the level of anorexia ...so be careful!

YES YOU CAN!!!!
but you will go through a process called natural selection.You will survive on your bodies reserves for a while and then you will slowly starve yourself to death. That's when the natural selection comes in, you will not be producing offspring's, so there will be no more of this silliness in your family. I sometimes wonder if folks like you are serious in your question, and if you are, I am glad that I don't live next door to you .It must be hell.
