I did OptiFast a couple of times. It worked, and I was surprisingly NOT hungry after the first 24 hours, but the weight came right back, so I don't recommend it.
I've fasted when I've been really, really, desperately sick. During my 48 weeks of chemo (hep c), the combination of interferon and ribavirin left me feeling nauseous most of the time. I dropped 35 pounds, but I don't recommend it as a way to diet.
I have also occasionally semi-fasted by having mostly liquids and similar things (like jello) for 12 hours before a hot play date. And that's as far into THIS subject as I'm going unless you explicitly tell me you want to know more.
