There's a lot of evidence that this kind of fasting actually makes weight loss harder. Your body is going to drop muscle during this, which is going to slow your metabolism, so that when you start eating again, you need to eat even less than before. So, yah, it's kind of extreme and can make it harder in the long run. Of course, instant gratification is a nice thing.
