redwings, crash diets like yours rarely work in the long-term. You're forming habits in your 30 days, and you've already stated that you're going to relapse.
If you want to keep it off, start making exercise an every-day habit. A "run a week" doesn't mean that your legs were in decent shape. Maybe they were, and maybe they were. Unless you were doing something you haven't disclosed (not that this is a deposition), then cardiovascularly you weren't in decent shape. Obviously you've adjusted to that, but you're still inviting soft tissue injury with what you're doing. If nothing else, you need to do some cross-training - swimming, biking, stairmaster, anything that's going to lessen the impact on your legs. Running can cause lots of impact injuries like stress fractures.
The diet thing, though, is really just a poor, poor idea. You need to make sure that you're not only getting enough calories but also that you're getting the right kind of calories. Too much or too little protein, carbohydrates, salt, water, etc. can all cause very serious long-term health problems. You need to rethink this or at the very least run it by your doctor.
