I'm a personal trainer and have a client who did a restricted calorie diet prior to seeing me. She ended up in the hospital because her kidneys were failing. It's not a healthy way to lose the weight but if you're under a doctor's care while doing it I would think they would monitor you. PLUS, if you aren't strict and fall off the wagon you will gain all the weight back very quickly and then some!

how sad. I can't see why any diet that says to only eat 500 calories a day can be remotely healthy. Not to mention, you can't sustain that forever - I'm sure most people gain it all right back.
Wow thats sad and they diet company is saying its not their fault. I would be going after the Dr who signed her form to do the diet in the first place.
Re: Sad Story About 500 Cal Diet
This. Except for I'm eating a damn carrot stick because I need to loose weight more than she does.
I can't even restrict my diet to 1800 calories a day much less 500.
I know there are people who restrict their diets to like 1000, but they eat really healthfully. Like fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc.
