Fasting as a method of weight control simply does not work. When you stop eating completely your metabolism slows in order for your body to conserve the energy it has. Sometimes this is called starvation mode. When you start eating again, your metabolism will remain decreased until your body adapts to a regular food source. Since you would be eating the same amount as pre-fasting, your body will store more of the food you eat as fat, causing your weight to go up.

Water fasting is a type of fasting in which the practitioner consumes only water when they are thirsty. One may water fast for a variety of reasons, including health improvement and medical and religious requirement. It's like a detox diet.
Basically: A diet in which you only drink water, or use it as a source of energy. No food, just water.

Fasting is not healthy. It lowers your metabolism and will make weight gain easier when the fast is over. Our bodies were designed to eat small amounts periodically throughout the day. Rather than fasting, try 6 - 200 calorie meals (at least 10gms of protein per meal) per day and lots of water.

For a physician's point of view, check out fasting on WebMD...

i'm not sure what water fasting really is but i am assuming that it means drink lots of water and don't eat much.
i just want to warn you that drinking a lot with any food can cause over hydration which can kill a person.
