I tried not eating for 4 days and so far it was ok, I drank of course but never eaten. I lost weight tremendously, my blood pressure got low, and worst of all, my tongue got white and a bit numb.

even if you don't have a physical breakdown of organs that requires medical training your organs suffer quite a bit that can create future problems and that's with tons of liquid input. . You may loose weight but it is muscle waisting and when you begin to eat again you will gain more than 2x as much. Your body needs carbs and protein to survive and make energy and when none comes in it takes it from the inside, in effect the body begins to eat itself alive.

You'll lose weight, but mostly water weight- and you'll gain it back quickly. You'll feel awful, it's really not healthy- there's no quick fix to losing weight.
