One thousand calories a day is considered a starvation diet. No reputable doctor on Earth would ever recommend that you eat 1000 calories a day. The absolute minimum amount of calories a human needs per day is 1200.
Extreme dieting can also lead to anorexia and/or bulimia. Studies have been done, in which normal-weight people with no history of eating disorders were put on starvation or near-starvation diets (1000 to 1200 calories a day). Within weeks, these people would start developing body dysmorphia (thinking you're fat when you're not) and other eating-disorder symptoms (like cutting their food into teeny-tiny bites, or chewing each bite exactly 100 times). Something about starving messes up your brain.
Personally, I had an eating disorder for nearly a decade. And you know what? It all started with a 1000 calorie-a-day diet.
