>>24388 You won't lose any significant amount of weight by fasting for 24 hours (maybe a pound), though drinking more water will definitely cause you to drop a pound or two in water weight.
Your metabolism should be back to normal after a day or so, though it WILL slow down during the fast. Keep in mind that, no matter what the circumstances, cutting down on food means that your met will instantly adjust itself and will stay that way unless you exercise (which you shouldn't be doing on a fast) to bump it back up.
You're basically just making your stomach shrink, physically. It's not a terribly bad idea, esp if you're just embarking on a serious diet. Just be VERY careful about doing it.
