Try it and see how long you stick with your diet, fatty.

I have been. I only need to lose 15-20Ibs more you stupid fuck.

It's still completely wrong. There is no "starvation mode" triggered by lowering calories.

fool, you either miscalculated your TDEE, are underestimating how much you're eating, or have been eating at a 2k deficit for < a week.

Sorta.
Depends on how big you are and how much fat you have to lose.
If you're obese and you're eating enough protein to maintain muscle mass and getting the correct nutrients and electrolytes and keeping hydrates...there's nothing wrong with a short turem 700-1000 calorie a day diet.

Yes there is, but it takes more than a week for you body to adapt.
