As with all diets, fasting diets have both risks and benefits. There are many religions that fast and they are healthy. Keeping the weight off after fasting is the trick.
No diets are safe......diets are only meant for temporary achievements!!
It really depends on the type of fasting diet. Most fasting diets require that you cut out specific things from your diet like sugar and carbs for a set amount of time, usually 2 weeks.
==another answer: Fasting is a way to get closer to God, not to lose weight! So yes it is safe when you have God's help! If you are not depending on God then i suggest you not do it.
Fasting diets are when a person abstains from eating for a certain amount of time. Two popular fasts are a juice fast, where one can eat nothing but may drink real fruit and vegetable juice, and a water fast, where one can consume nothing but water.
Diabetic diets are safe and healthy to follow. In fact, if you have diabetes and the diet has been recommended by your doctor, you may be endangering your health by not following it.

Low fat diets can be safe as long as a person sticks to its rules and does not try to completly cut out all the fats. The body still needs some fats, and some of them are actually good for you.
Liquid diets are safe in moderation, because the body absorbs liquids better than solids in many cases. Simply make sure that it is just for a short time, like your friend does.
