It's like weighing a glass full of water, pouring half of the water into the sink and then weighing the glass again. Your body is no different.
Doing this to yourself has absolutely nothing to do with losing body fat weight, though. And dehydration is dangerous.
So unless you plan to do this and then never drink anything again, the weight loss isn't permanent. But if you don't rehydrate, however, the weight loss *will* be permanent. And that's because you'll also be dead.
This is a great analogy/visual.0
