Not eating will certainly lead to weight loss. This is often referred to as "fasting" and should only be performed under the advice of your doctor, as it can actually become quite dangerous to the unaware. Fasting is not generally employed for weight loss, but that is one ancillary benefit. Even so, fasting is a technique of healing that predates modern civilization and is found world-wide.

Trying to lose weight by not eating is not a healthy weight loss option, and does not encourage good eating choices later on.

It may be effective but due to the fact that it is hard to do and has several disadvantages to it, does not seem to work for many people. People who try to lose weight by not eating often turn to bulimia which is also very unhealthy and damaging as, with bulimia, it is coughing and regurgitating basic nutrition that your body survives on.

When trying to lose weight by not eating, you must (to receive results) not eat for the whole dietary period [or the whole purpose is defeated]. This can accumulate to be very dangerous as we humans need food to survive. Therefore, if you are deciding on losing weight by not eating, please do your due diligence and weigh out the pros and cons:

PROS

  • fast weight loss results

CONS

  • long periods of starvation
  • headaches, hunger pains and other such injuries due to malnutrition
  • an unhealthy body
  • uneven distribution of weight
  • potential depression or sudden outburst of extreme eating
  • bags, discoloring or unnatural effects to the physical appearance of the body

As you can see, the cons definitely out weigh the pros. Under my knowledge on the subject and personal concern, I would only suggest weight loss through starvation to help with health problems or any other sort of bodily functions that are accumulated appropriately with the matter. Answer: Yes, but it is highly recommended to do otherwise.
