Will diet coke make me gain weight if I drink one 591ML bottle, and eat no food for 5 days?

It's not going to help with weight loss, simply because it has no calories. It's as if you were drinking unhealthy water. The fact that you're fasting may not help as much as you think, either. The best thing you can do is to cut back, eating only foods that are unprocessed or as little processed as possible (ex., wheat or rye bread v. white bread, doughnuts, cakes, pies, etc.),including fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy and meats. You also need to eat 3 small meals and 2-3 small snacks throughout the day rather than 3 large meals. If you eat nothing, or go a long time between meals, your metabolism goes into what is called starvation mode. It thinks it's being starved, and basically starts hibernating. Not only do you need the nutrients from food, but small meals at regular intervals will keep your metabolism going regularly, and will help you burn off more calories.
I don't care if you cuss us out or not. If you have anorexia, you need to get to a doctor. It's a fatal disease, and you need mental help to see that your body image is wrong. I may not be tiny, but I bet I'm healthier than you.
