because from reading it, it does kinda make sense the best way to lose weight and reset your system, would be not to eat anything. common sense says putting no food in, would make it very easy to lose weight

Fasting/starving is the worst way to try to lose weight. The body senses that no food is coming in and then retains everything. I have always heard that you should eat more smaller meals a day. At 6'1" 235 you do not need a life altering diet anyway. Just cut down on the bread and after dinner sweets. Watch the booze (if you drink). Try to go for a walk after dinner a couple times a week, you should be fine. If you are looking to drop a big amount, I would suggest you go see a nutrionist and he/she will set you up with a diet that will fit you. A guy I work with went to one and he has dropped over 50lbs.

Your body will get used to it at a certain point and you'll level off. . . Fasting for two weeks - even if it works - is just going to be a quick fix and you'll end up gaining it all back.

eat less, move more. fads don't work, fasts don't work-and you won't lose if you're hungry, as you'll end up bingeing.
eating is a routine. you need to change what's wrong with that routine. and add a bit of exercise, everyone needs more than they're getting anyway.

some cell phones ( i know mine does ) have a fitness setting, with a pedometer-i keep mine on my waist, when i think about it, and it counts my steps during the day. the goal is 10,000.

at any rate, you need to change some parts of your lifestyle. no need for drastic measures.

giving up sodas loaded with sugar would be a very good, and easy place to start.
