Fasting is great for many reasons outside of just weight loss. I've been doing it for the last two years, tried 3 days fasts, 5 day fasts, (mostly just stick to 2 day fasts) and even dry fasts. On day 2 of a dry fast you will literally lose a pound of fat every couple of hours. But it's also great for healing. I look 10-15 years younger and after losing around 140 pounds, fasting has helped get rid of loose skin. It takes time though, don't think you can fast once or twice and you'll sort yourself out. I've been at it for two years and although the results have been fantastic, I probably have another two years to go, but I'll probably at this point do it for life.
Also if you need to accelerate healing, fasting is my usual goto.
First day you can do whatever you like, but the second and third day I wouldn't recommend pushing yourself too hard. Usually I align them so I do most of the "though" fasting during the weekend when I'm free to do as I like.
