    I think it's usually 2,000-2,500 calories to keep a balance diet.

    However, it takes 3,500 calories to equal one whole pound.

    People usually drop 1,000 calories to lose up to two pounds in one week or so.

    It depends on how long you want to survive. Most people can survive for 2-3 weeks with no food at all.

    JESUS CHRIST LYDIA!!! WHAT KIND OF ADVICE WAS THAT?! LMAO!!! I THINK YOU"RE TRYING TO KILL HIM!!!

    There was one lady, (can't remember name) she survived till 100 something days.

    That's an accomplishment.

    But you must eat, or the weight you lost will be gain back when you eat again. Better to loseweight the healthy way. Meaning excercise and healthy food. I'm trying to lose weight too. =)

    I try to excercise once a week now.

    Yeah..you should listen to Atomic instead of Lydia...I don't think Lydia woke up functioning properly today, but it's okay!! i do it too sometimes!

    You're overreacting to what I said. Examples of this happen all the time when people are rescued from being "lost" at sea or lost on the wilderness, etc. There were recent examples of people rescued from attic air pockets in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina after having no food for more than two weeks.

    And I didn't offer this as advice. I merely said most people CAN survive 2-3 weeks without food.

    And I may not be functioning properly now but that's a whole different matter. :-)

    An average amount of calories a person shpould consume a day is about 3000. Thank u health class!

    I disagree, that why when you read on food label it says "based on the 2000 calories..."

    survive on for a day? Or go on a diet per day.

    Two different things..

    You wont die if you dont eat for a day but if you continue to do so then 1.500 calories is the minimum :P as long as you're counting -shifty eyes-
