Would you be taking vitamins alongside it? In that case, you'd pretty much definitely be okay, unless you do it for months or just have something terribly wrong with you.
Longest I've fasted with solely water has been a week. It was pretty miserable, I couldn't stand up by day 3. Lots of sleeping and general apathy. (to be fair, I was not used to being outside of my comfort zone). I only lost eight pounds as well.
However, it did not affect me negatively in the long term physically, and I am generally glad that it was done. It reminds me that we are capable of more than it seems sometimes.
On a side note, I don't really think metabolism exists. As long as you are eating less calories than you "need", you will lose weight. You may lose muscle, but you can always gain that back, nbd.
The main thing is to be careful when you start eating again, I hear it's best to try to reintroduce your body slowly.
Definitely though I'd say it's important to fast at least one day a month or so, just to assert control over your body, you know? Won't hurt anything, and if you're cutting that's 1500-3000 calories you won't have to burn.

How long are you planning on doing it?

 

[Bewusst]

If you‘re healthy, it‘s likely safe as long as you avoid dehydration and don‘t overdo it. Just keep an eye on your electrolytes and drink enough water

 

[randomvanish]

it's unnecessary, waste of time.

I've done 3 days twice during first lockdown

It probably works somewhat to lose weight

can't tell exactly how much I lost since I didn't have a scale

the second day was the hardest for me, especially at night I wanted to eat and I was watching videos of people eating some feast on Youtube

I had some dizziness the last day but I knew I was going to eat at the end of the day
