Weight loss like most things takes time if you do it right. There is nothing wrong with watching your
calories, just don't over do it. If you continue to work out and take in a more realistic caloric amount, you will probably still loose weight just at a slower pace if nothing else you will at least maintain your weight.
Try checking out Men's health magazine:
Men's Health - Men's Guide to Fitness, Health, Weight Loss, Nutrition, Sex, Style and Guy Wisdom
read some of the things they have to say, it might give you a better idea of what will work for you.
But whatever you do, get off this
starvation diet, as it will do more damage to your
body than it is worth.
Oh, and just a side though.....go get yourself some men's multi-vitamins! If you truly have been taking in only 500
calories a day, not only have you been depriving your
body of important vitamins and minerals but drinking as much water as you have, you have probably been washing out some of the nutrients that your
body desperately needs, and that can cause you all sorts of unforgiving problems!
Good luck!
