When people say fasting they mostly mean juice and water fasts. Both of these are very dangerous for someone who does not know how to make the preparation days, the fasting itself and then the recovery. If you are really curious and want to go down this road, read at least 100 pages from at least 10 different sources about it and do it only when you know what i mentioned and also once you understand all the 4 phases the body goes through.
You should also know that the people who fast for a very long time started with just 1 day, then longer and longer and over years they train themselves.
However, understand that this is not done primarily for weight loss. Weight loss is actually on the bottom of the list of the benefits / priorities when it comes to fasting. Its a mental practice, detoxification and issue of endurance and religion.
You should know that if you do anything radical to your body, then your body will respond to you in a radical way (quick fat gain, illness, etc) which you really do not want. That's creating problems for yourself.
Also people who fast properly are following a very strict set of rules, which casual people do not know. For example they can not eat solid food after fasting for a long time. This does have life endangering consequences.
