This is very dangerous. Don't do it. Never fast for this long. Fasting is not ideal for weight loss reasons. No!

No! That's Way too dangerous. You Can loose 15 pounds safely in two months time. By fasting for 5 days straight you may see significant weight change but chances are high that you will either gain it back or develop some obstruction to your body that will most likely cause you harm.

No. In order to lose 15 pounds you need to burn more than 50,000 calories. As a normally active person, you burn 2,000 calories. That means that in five days, you will only burn 10,000 calories. HOWEVER, you will not even lose this much weight because when you fast, your body goes into "starvation" mode and you don't even burn those 2,000 calories. And, we you eventually go back to eating, you will be stuck at that lower calorie burning level - ending up gaining weight in the end.
To lose 15 pounds, cut out white carbs & sugar, eat around 1200 cals a day and run/bike/work out for 1 hour a day. You should be able to lose your 15 pounds in a little over a month. And you'll be healthier.

I doubt it. Anyway this is a dangerous way to lose weight. Rapid weight loss takes its' toll on your body and overall health. Your body needs vitamins, minerals, protein and amino acids to properly function. Fasting for such a long period could seriously impair your body. I would suggest you don't do this.
It will take longer than 5 days but you can lose 15 pounds by going on one of the traditional diets, such as atkins. In the meantime you'll just have do deal with the 15 unwanted pounds.

It's not healthy. Also, when you stop fasting, you will just gain it all back really fast. If you want to lose the weight safely and with lasting results, eat better and work out.

believe it or not for the first couple of day you will probaly gain wait because your body is confused thinking you are starving it in return your body will panic and start to it the fat your body has stored your best bet is to eat well portioned meals or eat something small and healthy every few hours like a fruit

yes, you probably could. but you would be endangering your health and when you start eating again, you will gain it all back very quickly.
