I would argue that there's nothing wrong with the occasional fast. In fact, there are entire books and websites based on Intermittent Fasting. I would definitely recommend looking into the idea some more if you're interested in weight loss.
It's unconventional and requires a lot of discipline, but also requires less preparation than the typical six-small-meals eating plan most people use when trying to improve their physiques.
Also, since a single pound of fat contains 3500 calories, if you have a BMR (basal metabolic rate) of 2400 calories, a pattern of alternate day fasting (24 hours eating normally, 24 hours fasting) results in a caloric deficit of between 7200 – 9600 calories weekly. This comes to an average loss of 2.4 pounds per week; roughly 1% bodyfat in the average individual. Of course, everyone's BMR is different, and you have to make your own calculations and control your diet on eating days to achieve these sorts of results. But with some diligence and discipline, I believe it's a healthy way to lose weight.
As an added bonus, intermittent fasting costs less than frequent feeding, and has been shown to spare lean body mass and raise HGH levels; useful for losing more fat and gaining more muscle.
Obviously, you should do plenty of self-research before you jump into any new eating plan, but intermittent fasting is certainly worth considering at least. :)
