Wouldn't recommend it but If you do do it please at least take your vitamins. B vitamins are especially good if you want to burn off energy/calories as they are a "metabolizing fuel source".
If you really want to lose weight though you could try cutting out fat from your diet. Ever check the nutrition facts on your food? I'd bet money that if you cut out almost all fats, except the essentials like omega 3's, 9s, and Linoleic acids, and excercised or did some kind of strenous activity regularly, you would lose weight better than fasting. Actually I think fasting might actually gain weight, at least after you start eating again as, in some people, the body gets tricked into thinking it's starving and then will try to store up any food and energy it gets as a response.
Essential fatty acids can be taken in supplement form, but marijuana/hemp is the best source if you can get some- just eat the seeds - apparently you can't eat too many and a tbsp a day is recomended. If you can get a supplement of this kind (Flax seed for ex.) then you won't need to risk consuming any more fats from normal foods and can just eat carbs and protein. Carbs for raw metabolic energy like ATP and synthesis thereof and protein for your muscles. Take your other vitamins too. Sports drinks are great for their potassium and sodium content. Most People, westerners included, don't get their necessary potassium. Banana's are especially good for this and I would recommend eating them often, at least one a day really. Phosphorous is also extremely important, so make sure you get that too.
