I lost 15 pounds in one month eating 1500 cals so why is it classed as...

...unhealthy weightloss? I wasn't overweight to start with and didn't eat that much junk anyway and I exercised twice a week, it was rarely vigorous and was the same exercise I had always done.

I thought it's only healthy to lose 15 pounds in two months!?
 
For that weight loss you must have reduced your diet by and burned 54,000 calories in the month. That's 1,800 calories less per day for a 30 day month. So assuming your exercise was burning off 500 calories per day, the other 1,300 calories was from reduced intake and maintenance calories for rest of day. Generally classed as unhealthy as muscle is burned off rather than fat if done too quickly (i.e. more than 34,000 calories for the 30 day month).
