Is eating 1500cal a day and burning 800-1000 healthy?

if so how long will it take me to loose 20pounds?

you burn much more than that, most people burn around 1800-2200 cals a day from just their normal day to day activities

You will not lose weight by consuming more calories than you burn.

I dont think its particularly good for you. But its not terrible either.

well theres 3500 calories in a lb of fat. I guess you burn about 1800 calories just sitting doing nothing. Add to that your 800 burned. is 2600 take the 1500 calories eaten away from that is 1100 calories burned a day.

so 20lbs * 3500 calories = 70,000 calories you need to burn. divide that by 1100 you burn a day is 63 days.
