Well if you are trying to lose weight, fyi, starving yourself will only slow your metabolism and cause your body to try and keep as much weight on as possible.

im not saying im going to do it i jus want to know what will happen and in how long it will happen..

When you starve your body, it goes into "starvation" mode. (duh)
That is when your body believes that it will not have food for a VERY long time and it STORES the fat in your body. And with anything you eat it grabs and STORES, thinking that it will not see food for a while.
So it takes WHATEVER it can get.

it is NOT a good way to be healthy.

You will lose body mass. Eventually if you starve for long enough your body will start living off muscle and then you will probably die. =\
