Yes, when ever I feel heavy from too rich food, or wrong food that has upset my digestion, I fast and take some liquids. I get relief very quickly.

yes, but not to lose weight... it's more on a religious / culture sacrifice... but if you want to give your body a break, you are better off eating the right things at the right time than not eating at all.

that's what i always tell my friends who want to go on a diet: never, ever skip meal. that is the first rule. second rule is to eat right -- no junk, etc...

I fasted for a week once. I lost nearly 40lbs. - that was a surprise. I remember feeling really bad about half way into it - very lethargic, crampy in my stomach. I realized that I wasn't drinking nearly enough water but after not eating for a few days, it was hard to swallow even water. Then, when I finally did eat, I gained all the weight back - almost instantly. Obviously, I lost a lot of water weight.
