This is SO not healthy! That's starvation. You'll loose weight for about a week or so, then one of two things can happen: you'll either a. give in and binge because your starving and gain all the weigh back and then some or b. keep eating practically nothing and slow your metabolism down so much that even eating that small amount you wont lose anything.
The only way to lose weight and keep it off is with a healthy lifestyle - good diet and exercise. figure out what works for you is too complex for anyone to really help you in a forum. Talk with your doctor or find a nutritionist and maybe check out some weight loss books to point you in the right direction.

Start by reading the stickies on here. It will take a while to get through them, but there is really good information about nutrition and exercise and diets in general.

I agree that eating less is not necessarily the answer. Can I ask you how old you are? Do you have any other health challenges ie diabetes etc? Feel free to private msg me if you don't want to publically post.

You know, I did the same thing as you when I first started to diet. I think after a couple of weeks, I was too tired to do anything. Seriously. I was falling asleep everywhere. Anyway, I remember reading on one of the stickies in the forum, that you need fuel to help lose weight. I felt it sounded a bit stupid. But I reliazed tht because I was tired, I couldn't exercise. And because I couldn't exercise, I couldn't lose weight. I know it's hard to get your mind around. Especially if you have to eat 6 meals a day!

A proper introduction might be in order before you go offering advice, don't you think? This is your first post on the forum.

first off, what you are eating isn't good at all. Starving yourself will make your body store fat which is the last thing you want.
-always make sure you eat a healthy breakfast to get your metabalism started.
-make sure you have at least 3 balanced meals everyday
-get plenty of exercise (3 times a week) to help tone up
