I'm another who will put a tick-mark under the "unintentionally" column. A few years ago, I had a massive case of food poisoning from my dad's undercooked chicken marsala - a tragedy that has me gag slightly at the suggestion of it being served to me, but I digress. After the incident I was eating extraordinarily lightly for about a week or two or so, even though I was completely fine in a few days. Other incidents of "fasting" occurred during an extended period of depression in my late teens.
Although, I've considered voluntarily fasting as a way to lose weight: I'd be abstaining from recreational sugars, drinks other than water, and processed foods.
