It might irritate your stomach or give you diarrhea if taken alone, try adding a bit of milk to it.
It can also raise your heartbeat and make you have palpitations if it's the only thing you take during a day. I cannot make you drink less coffee, but i can ask you to please drink water too, so you won't feel sick after the 4.5 cup.

Well let's see. First off, the lack of nutrients from not eating is eventually going to catch up with you and your organs and you're either going to pass out or start having organ shut down. Let's not forget how caffeine effects the heart, so don't be surprised if your blood pressure shoots way up there because all you are doing is having caffeine throughout the day. It's one thing to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, even if you don't eat breakfast. To go the whole day without eating and just drinking coffee however, is a whole different story and one that does not have a happy ending. You are going to end up sick. Oops, forgot to mention the acid that all the caffeine is stirring up in your gut. Plan on an ulcer as well.

I'm not 100% sure on what your asking but too much coffee without food actually makes me tired - God knows why because it should, theoretically, require me to be scraped off the ceiling!

When you skip meals, your body goes into what's called starvation mode, which means it will burn muscle tissue for energy and store fat. Not what u want if u want to lose weight.
I would think the caffeine would give a temporary energy boost but it doesn't give you any nutrients.
Better to eat a balanced diet and if you want to lose weight -
EXERCISE!

coffee doesn't have any nutritional value so in essence your filling up on water and drugs (i.e caffeine which is an appetite supressent) and starving the rest of your body. its not healthy and can cause malnourishment as well as impair normal body functions needed to keep you healthy. not to mention you're royally screwing with your metabolism which could end up damaging it even causing diabetes later on.

Only eat once every other day but live off coffee.
Not done me any harm

It's not good for you - it irritates the lining of your gut
