1. Starvation diets actually might slow down your weight loss. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that skipping meals will put your body in a famine mode that reduces your metabolism and therefore the rate you are burning calories during the whole day (not just during exercise).
2. This sort of diet is the classic basis for yo-yo dieting since you can't possibly stick to it long term. Sure you might lose the weight you want, but then you end up returning to how you ate before you went on the diet and end up weighing the same ore more.
