About 4 pounds of fat, perhaps more total weight loss with dehydration.

When the body is starved, it lowers its metabolism as a survival instinct. This means it takes longer to burn calories to try and preserve energy. If you starve yourself, your body's fat-burning capacity is actually lowered. You can never have a stable weight this way.Not to mention, there is risk of death from dehydration and heart troubles from electrolyte and vitamin deficiencies. Some of these health problems may be long-term.

Simply put, starvation is NOT healthy, and is not a reliable weight loss plan.It is a good idea to see a doctor to make sure you are healthy. A doctor can refer you to a psychiatrist or counselor who can help talk you through this and maybe put you in touch with others who also struggle with emotional troubles due to their weight. It is important to know you are not alone.

If this is purely an educational question, I apologize for the note at the end.
