You would lose alot of weight fast, as long as you kept fluids in you; however, it would not be good for your system. You would feel fatigue, immune system would be low, etc.
Just remember, when you start to eat normal again, you will put the weight back on. Your body kind of goes to a reserve state.
If you want to lose weight fast, eat salads, low carb food, fruits, etc. Cottage cheese will also give you alot of the nutrients you need. Even the Subway diet works well. I've been on it for a while and have lost lots of weight.

You would lose all function eventually.
How long are we talking?
I would never, ever advise this!
Why would you want to cut your calories like that. I can only assume this is about weight loss. This is absolutely the opposite of what you need. Weight loss is about your body being efficient. You need the proper amount of calories for you body to operate correctly and for your metabolism to increase allowing you to burn fat.
If you restrict calories to much your body will utilize the muscle stored in the body as energy. I could get technical and explain more but for now this is the simple method. Having to few of calories is just as bad as to many. Having said that, depending on your individual health and fitness status you may be able to tolerate a fairly low amount of calories. You could then decide on a meal plan that would safely allow you to lose weight by restricting calories. Only a Registered Dietitian should design your meal plan for you. I can get you in contact with a dietitian or point you in the direction of a program that will allow you to input your information and then develop your own meal plan using the dietitians guidelines. Good luck!

Not very long...maybe not a month. The body burns roughly 3000 calories a day. Calories are units of energy. Your body uses energy all the time, not just for exercise. You burnt calories typing this question on your computer. You lungs use some calories every time they expand and contract. You heart uses calories every time it beats. This is the fuel for every thing your body does all day and night. Any movement or action requires fuel. So 80 calories a day is nothing....you would literally be starving yourself. How long you live would depend of your body fat level. That is how the body stores excess calories. But it is a dangerous action to undertake.

Its not good for you to do that, you need around 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day to live. You would starve your body and in return your body will start to feed of its vital organs and muscles, the fat in our bodies does not hold much nutrition to keep the body working properly. its ok to have snacks that are around 25-80 calories but not for the daily intake. A good way to lose weight is to cut salt/sodium and sugar from diet and eat well balanced meals that are the correct portion (follow food pyramid) it works.

That's not much more than starvation; if a person eats nothing at all, the rule of threes says that the average person can live about three weeks.
The rule of threes is simply a sort of mnemonic device for remembering potential survival time: Three minutes without air; three days without water; three weeks without food.

Its terrible you need at least 1000 calories a day to stay healthy and in shape you become anarexic.

Do not eat that little...it is so bad for you. I would know because I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia for the past 2 years. Please do not do this to yourself! To the other part of your question they would live for a long time. Its not like they would die in a month or something. And once again trust me because I know.

They will die, after their body breaks down through total malnutrition.
