1,000 calories/day is doable, if one wants to lose weight. As you said, a balanced, healthy diet with a vitamin supplement and staying physically active are the ingredients to make it work.

Obviously the body cant survive on less than 500 calories, but is it possible to keep a healthy body consuming only 1000 calories? on well balanced diet of carbs protein and fat; accompanied by say a vitamin supplement...Thanks.

It can happen rather quick. For example, if one goes on a VLCD (less than 500 calories/day) or fasts for a few days, the body reacts by slowing its metabolism down in a matter of days... I've seen people on such diets with their resting metabolic rate reduced to almost half.

They are quite accurate. The next best thing would be VO2 measurements, but that is usually a lot more involved than doing it in front of your computer :-)

how long would it take for your metabolism to become slow?...thanks.

How accurate are the calculators?...Thanks!
does making your metabolism faster make you lose weight quicker?

@TheBicyclemagic - it does, that's why exercise is such a great way to lose and maintain weight loss. Conversly, starvation diets are counterproductive on the long run due to their tendency to lower the metabolic rate.

I was told to find your BMR for the day you just multiplied your weight in KG by 24. Is this accurate or not?

@OwenGTA - Multiplying one's weight in kg by 24 gives a reasonable estimate of the daily caloric needs, which include the BMR and calories expended by activity.
