If you are on 500 calories a day you are damaging your body. Your body is feeding off itself, and by ping-pong dieting eventually you will damage your heart, kidneys, liver and stomach lining not to mention your digestive tract and colon. In time you will be riddled with great health problems.
It's the quality of the foods you eat as I mentioned above and 3 1/2 ounces of protein per meal is all one needs and filling up with grains, veggies, fruits and some dairy products are a must. If you start taking in 1200 calories and follow these instructions you will lose weight. Stop the crash dieting!
Good luck Marcy
Eating less than 500 calories a day does not mean you are anorexic. Anorexia is a serious mental illness, and there are more deaths from anorexia than from any other mental illness.
Furthermore, for you to be diagnosed anorexic, your bmi would be lower than 17.5. As well as shoe all the classic symptoms. There is a world of difference between a person crash dieting to 500 calories a day, and a person who is suffering from anorexia.
Obviously I o not know whether you are anorexic, healthy, etc because your question does not state so, but generally if a healthy person ate 500 calories a day they would not be anorexic. Although people should be careful because crash dieting is dangerous, and these things can spiral out of control.
Answer:Technically you are not anorexic just because you eat 500 or less calories a day. And also, you don't have to have a bmi of below 17.5 to have an eating disorder....you might not be diagnosed anorexic until then, but it wouldn't mean that you didn't have an eating disorder....As long as you don't 1) look in the mirror and are never satisfied with the way you look, you always want to lose more weight, 2) are obsessed with counting calories, and will restrict yourself to the point of starvation to lose weight, and 3) obsess over weighing yourself (once a week is normal or healthy, but obsession is weighing everyday or more than once a day and over-reacting to tiny fluctuation in weight)...then you're probably fine.

How fast can you lose weight by eating 500 calories or less per day?
If you eat 500 calories a day, or less, you may be condsidered anorexic. That is completely un-healthy and even if you were to lose weight, you would instantly gain it back once you ate regular again...and you would have to eventually eat regular again if you want to live, because eating 500 calories or less is starving yourself to death.

Are you anorexic if you eat 500 calories a day or less?
Most likely, especially if there is no indication of being overweight.AnswerI don't think so, i eat 400 cal. a day and I'm perfectly healthy Answer:It only makes you anorexic if you eat 500 calories or less a day in order to lose weight. But other signs that would confirm anorexia are 1) if you look in the mirror and are never satisfied with what you see, you always feel like you need to lose more weight. 2) If you are obsessed with calories and are constantly counting calories, and/or 3) if you are obsessed with weighing yourself (once a week is normal, but obsession is weighing everyday, or more than once a day). Hope this helps!

Yes, and No. To be considered "anorexic", there are many factors. Some of those involve heavy restricting of food and drinks and calories. Others involve physical conditions and symptoms (dry skin, organ problems / damage, heart issues, fragile / brtiile hair, discolored nails, ect.), excessive exercsie, and mental problems. Eating 500 calories a day, though, is very unhealthy. That is about 1,000 to 1,500 LESS calories than a person should be eating in a day.
