A coworker tried it and he said he could tell his skin was feeling nasty and smelly after the 2nd day, and he had to shower a couple times a day to stop it.
I tried fasting for 3 days once, using only low-sodium V8 (the small cans, once a day)... can't say I experienced that, but one thing I did notice was the benefits of low metabolism--my brain just "felt" quieter, like a lot of metabolic noise (for lack of a better term) was silenced.
Also, external heat didn't make me sweat as much. 85F outside with the sun out, and I was just fine keeping my windows closed. The baking hot sun actually felt good--it felt like my body was actively absorbing every ray, no sweating.
On the downside, I occasionally became a tad dizzy, which was distressing to say the least. I don't plan on making fasting a routine.
