You can die from that.
It can't be done long-term. You put your body into starvation mode. When your body thinks it's starving it doesn't "eat" away fat right away. It breaks down your muscle tissue--the muscle tissue is actually one of the first things to broken down and used. You're left with fat deposites then until you body, eventually, eats away at them. Then you're left a skeleton.
Muscle gives your body definition. It gives you those hot muscular legs that men like. It gives you a nice round booty. It gives you uplifted breasts. It helps to flatten your stomach even after you've eaten. It helps you to exercise, move better, and have a healthy heart.
Sure, you'll lose weight but you won't be trim. You'll flab at first because your skin will sag where the deteriorated muscle went away from. It'll be harder to tighten that skin up without a proper amount of muscle, just so you know.
Muscle burns fat. It burns fat while you sleep too! Why would you want to get rid of such a nice thing?
Bones aren't sexy. They just aren't. Nobody wants to look like an ugly bag of bones.
Your skin will also not be as soft. It will toughen up for many reasons. You'll lose the fat stores underneathe it, eventually, and that will reduce the moisture within the skin cells. Your skin will also thicken though to help keep you insulated because you will be cold from having a slowed metabolism.
Oh, I guess I didn't mention that. Your metabsolism? The thing that burns off calories and turns them into energy? Gone. Forget being able to eat after awhile. It can be hard for the body to even recover from that. Expect some nasty ulcers in the beginning when your stomach acid overproduces and begins to eat away at the lining.
It's not pretty.
Be smart and restrict your calorie intake in a healthy, well-balanced way. Something between 1500 and 2000 calorie diet should be OK. Exercise to help firm up and gain some extra muscle. Yeah, muscle will weigh more than fat but it is smaller in size so you'll get firm and tone, which is what is physically appealing to the female body anyway.

The best way to lose weight is to carefully monitor what you're eating. Using a site like this, where you set a calorie goal and input everything you eat, is really, really helpful: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
