My response isn't scientific, merely based on my own experience.
I have done small water fasts [2 or 3 days], and I find them very helpful for reducing junk food cravings. I normally eat a healthy low-fat vegan diet, but occasionally I fall off the wagon. I am an emotional eater and I will eat all kinds of crap when I am stressed or unhappy. Water fasting makes it so much easier for me to get back on track again.
