   You can’t survive like that. You need to be having about 1200 calories a day, overall. You should be taking in roughly 1800-2100 calories if you’re burning 600 calories on your stepper.
   Your body will start to go into starvation mode the way you’re dealing with it. Not good; not good at all.
   Regardless, you’d be at a 1600 calorie deficit a day– which would mean in a week you’d be burning 11,200 calories. It takes 3,500 calories to burn a pound of fat, so you’d be losing (not loosing) 3.2 lbs a week like this.

   Well, there’s never a recommendation to eat less than 1200 calories per day. So, you definitely need more than that.
   Here are two calculators (depending on your age) that you can use to figure out how much you should be eating.http://pediatrics.about.com/library/bl_c…http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus
   1lb of fat is 3500 calories, so you need to burn 500-1000 calories more per day to lose 1-2lbs per week.
   There are other factors involved(intensity of workouts/types of workouts/types of foods/etc), but at a really high level, that’s the basics.

   Well 1000-600 = 400 calories per day (which isnt even enough for your body to carry out its normal processes!!)
   You will lose a lot of weight if you eat 400 per day – because its the same as what some anorexic people eat.
   Your metabolism will start to slow down big time, your body needs a certain number of calories per day just to run (even if you slept all day) so to find that out you need to look up BMR (amount of calories your body needs if you slept all day) and you shouldnt go below that.

   You probably wouldn’t be able to keep that up for more than 3 days because you will pass out from lack of energy. Try it, but you will probably worry everyone around you and they will keep an eye on you after that… If that’s what you want
