Answer

And there is that. That too would not be a good thing. Eat lots of protein and carbs 5 meals a day no bigger than your fist. Work out every day, running or fast walking and lift. This will accomplish what you want without the bad side effects of death. Check out bodyforlife.com

You will start to burn muscle, that would not be a good thing.

Answer

Your body will start to burn muscle instead of fat, and will go into "starvation mode" meaning it will store EVERYTHING you eat as fat, even when you stop starving yourself! You will feel weak, bad tempered, you will get acne on your face and back, your hair will fall out on your head and then you will grow hair on your chest, face, and stomach. Your breath will stink, and you will look and feel like hell. Eventually, as starvation weakens your organs, and you need food to live, you will die!!!!
