Eating only 1200 cal on raw till 4?

I've been a raw till 4 vegan for a week so far. And I feel great and i've been loving this lifestyle! I have a lot of energy and my body feels overall amazing.

I am aware that when you're on this lifestyle, you're supposedly suppose to eat 2000+ calories. But I just find it so difficult to eat that much and I don't find the need to. I feel full after I eat my current meals and satisfied.

Nothing has been going wrong so far. Well it has been only going on for a week so maybe that's why.

I eat eat raw fruit and veggies before 4pm of course. And eat mostly rice based foods for dinner with a side of cooked veggies. Not really in big portions like they say I should, but enough for me to feel good and full. And things have been fine. Through out the day, I eat very little fat and protein. Probably like a handful of nuts or 1/3 of an avocado. I am turning 14 this year and 5'2. So far, I think i've lost a little weight, but nothing too drastic.

I exercise 4-5 times a week. Which usually contains mostly hiit, pilates, and running.

Even though I feel perfectly fine so far. I want to know if I will become unhealthy in the long run. Is what i'm doing right? If not, please tell me what should I do to fix my diet.

Update:

BTW, I am not overweight whatsoever. I'm pretty fit and do not particularly plan to lose weight.

    Youre not eating nearly enough. There is nothing wrong with WHOLE milk too-it keeps you from being hungry. Iwould shoot for 1200m or 1500 cals a day and report back. Eating 5 meals a day will help keep your metabolism up (thats how bodybuilders slim down, and the biggest loser does that too)

    Not having protein in your diet is a good way to eat up the muscle you have.

    I personally think this kind of diet is extreme for a kid your age.
