You are starving yourself...you'll lose fat for sure but also a lot of muscle will go along with it.
I'll leave it to the experts though...

That would work for about a week...and then your metabolism will come to a grinding halt as your body desperately attempts to prevent a famine. Every morsel of food you eat will probably be stored as fat, and the fat you do have will be held on to to prevent starvation, and muscle tissue will be burned for energy.
What am I on about?
It sucks, but we were programmed for survival and this is a typical reaction. Bodyfat storage is only a survival mechanism for times like this.
Eat more. Eat regularly, eat good whole food, and eat, but don't cheat.You gotta go through hell to get the body made in heaven.

It's probably worse, and will get worse, i mean the pain. Till you finally break and give up. This is what I used to do, be like you, want instant results and work my ass off to get them. But i'd always break, the stress is too high for the body.
Not sure what your reason for losing weight rapidly is. I know summer is coming up, maybe it's for that. I am assuming you're in high school. I remember wanting quick results just for the glory of it, so people can be like "WOW" but honestly, that never happened, the reason was I was looking for a "quick" result. A few years ago I was lean, but guess what? I gained all my weight back. The reason is, because i was looking for a quick result. I did get good results quickly, but after that, I gained it back.
I believe the reason for this is, we need to turn our eating, working out routines in to a habit. That means do what you need to do, without forcing yourself, making it hard.
I think a good example would be to set a goal of eating a healthy breakfast, and meeting water intake goals for a month. Don't worry about nothing else, once you feel that is natural and easy. Focus on eating a healthy lunch, and so on. Make small improvments over time. So in the long run, being ripped becomes a part of you. Not something that is temporary.
