You would have to eat 3500 less calories than your body needs for the day. That is impossible since your body needs only about 2000 for a typical person living a typical day.
Unless you are doing some super strenuous task all day long it is not going to happen. If you can sweat a lot you can imagine you are losing a lot of weight but that comes back as soon as you have something to drink

To LOSE a pound, you have to reduce your calorie intake by 3500 calories...
In other words - you would have to consume 0 calories, and find a way to burn off 1500 calories EACH AND EVERY DAY!!!
(Edit: the female body consumes an average of 2000 calories a day - 2500 for men - JUST to function properly. And YES - I am aware that eating NOTHING forces the body into "Starvation Mode"...)

You'd have to have a net caloric intake of -3500 calories to lose a pound per day. You'd have to work off that many more calories than you put into your body. Could be several hours on an elliptical machine..

Calories do NOT apply to nutrition.
