First, your body will use fat for energy. When that's gone, it will start to use muscle as an energy source. Your heart is a muscle, so it begins to weaken your heart and put you at risk for a heart attack.
Your endocrine system will be thrown off so you will stop experiencing periods. Your teeth will begin to deteriorate and may break or darken or even fall out.
You could permanently damage your body and put yourself at higher risk for illnesses or death. You will look horrible as your hair falls out and your skin becomes pale and jaundiced and your cheeks hollow out and your bones begin to stick out.
And your mental condition will deteriorate without proper nutrition. You may begin to suffer from mental illness, which could be permanent.
If you are starving yourself, death usually takes place in a couple week, that's all it takes to die from not eating anything at all.
Why aren't you eating?
Start with shakes or nutritional drinks and work your way up. Eating is where we get our energy from. Without energy, we lose our will and our motivation to do anything.

I hav a small problem with eating too, i dont eat alot, either, and what happens to me is that I lose energy, and i get really tired really fast, and i get really grumpy and irritable, i also lost wieght when i dont need to and my loved ones got very concerned. so that is when i started eating 3 meals a day, its better if you eat because your health could fail you and you could end up really really sick.

Lots of stuff. Your body starts to break down fat and other body substances to use for energy, but the problem with that is it releases lots of toxins into your system that can lead to kidney failure. This is just one thing. There are tons of other things that happen.

I don't understand the reason why u r not eating.If u want to loose weight then take a balanced diet with lots of fruits & vegetables.
Respect your body and take good care of it.If u fall sick then it is only U who will suffer & u'll be solely responsible for it.

Your body NEEDS food for fuel and if you don't feed it, it will break down. If you continue not eating your body will go into starvation mode and eat at your muscles and you will become malnourished.

Death is the worst that can happen. But it can and will if you continue.
Drink a smoothie with milk and a frozen banana or other fruit. Just get some food down.
