How much weight you cut with no drinking 24 hrs?

As above. You have your normal quantity of calories (i.e. 2000 in a day), but you do not drink for 24 hours. How much you approximately reduce your weight?
In a few words: normal eating with no water during 24 hrs of time.

Depends on sodium levels in the body, carbohydrate intake, sweat, etc. I tend to drop 5 lbs of water if I'm not taking in sodium or carbs that day.

just think of it this way. a glass of water immediately puts on a pound before you piss it off.

I prefer the method of drinking shed loads over the period of a week or so. As there's such a high turnover of water, the body takes what it needs and discards the rest. Where as with dehydration it clings on to every last drop.

1L of water = 1kg = 2.2lbs
500mL of water = .5kg = 1.1lbs

I remember reading in a Muay Thai magazine that without drinking(or eating, except for a small breakfast) for 24 hours, without even exercise, you can drop up to 5 pounds. Throw in jumping rope with a sweat suit on/sauna/running and I'd say probably 10-15 pounds.
