Assuming you're in good health, you'd be fine. You might feel weak, but if you drink PLENTY of water it's OK. It's called fasting.

Nothing really, but you should be careful when you start eating again. You cannot just start eating, you need to come out of fast as long as you went into it. Read some literature before you do it, because if you come out of fast wrong, you can really harm yourself. On the first day after your fast you can drink only juices, then you should start with salads and fruit. Make sure you do not eat anything fried. Also, I would like to add that even it would seem like you lost a lot of weight in four days, you will gain it back as soon as you start eating. Fasting is done only for health reasons and you will never lose weight like that and I do not recommend doing it, if you haven't studied it in depth.

You might lose a little* weight, but you wouldn't have any energy to do anything, and would probably feel inclined to lay around all day.
That would suck, please don't do that.
I've lost weight by not eating very much. But I just dont' have an appetite. I usually only eat one or maybe two meals a day, of sandwhiches or salads. But I wouldn't recommend either necessarily. I can just function well on very little food.
Instead I would recommend a tried and true diet of three meals a day and 2 snacks. The three meals should consist of one portion of protein (not fried) and 2 portions of carbs, like green veggies (potatoes, carrots and corn aren't desirable because they have very little nutrition for all the carbs they contain).
The snacks should be similar. And of course drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. But that's just my recommendation. You dont' have to starve yourself to lose weight. But keeping away from refined sugars makes a huge difference.
*very little.

You would be "fasting" and would lose some pounds. You'd also probally end up feeling really sick. If your gonna do that, I'd suggest doing it when you don't have to work or go to school. Cause you won't have any kind of energy and would probally have very poor concentration. But you know as soon as you start eating again, you'll gain all that weight back, right?

That is called fasting. As long as you stay hydradated and have no medical problems you should be fine. I would not recommend this for weight loss, it is a pretty uncomfortable experience. The weight will come back as soon as you start to eat again. Try a less radical method if this is your goal. If it's for spirtial growth and understanding consult with a religious leader who can guide you through it.

You would dehydrate probably, and would faint or just go very dizzy....if you dont do anything and you just meditate or just lay down, nothing will happen, its like fasting.

Ive done it for 5 days.
So you will be all right. The intensity of the visions is considerably higher if you dont eat in such a long time.

You can survive without water for seven days, 30 days without food.

You would get hungry and flush out your system. It is used a lot in some Asian cultures, however they usually include vitamin supplements. If you are thinking about it, check with your doctor first as your body may not be able to handle it.

Your metabolism would slow down because you will have no energy. You would lose a few pounds but gain it back on day 5. you would lose more weight by eating something than not eating.

You'd be hungry, unlikely that you would die though unless you had some preexisting condition like diabetes. Your body can live quite awhile without food so long as you have water.
