Should this 14 year old water fast?

Hi, my good friend is 14 years and is 5 foot 7 inches. But he is also about 240 pounds... Should water fasting for 2-3 weeks help him out?

No, young kids still growing should not do ANY kind of diet without adult advice and certainly not a crazy and dangerous one.

Low carbohydrate and low fat foods in reduced amounts along with nutrients like multivitamins and fruits will help.

Of course not. He should eat healthy and exercise. He must change his lifestyle, not do some fad for a couple of weeks.

"Fasting" isn't a thing a growing teenager should be doing. "Walking to school" would be a good idea, assuming he lives within a reasonable (2 miles) distance of the school. He may have to build up to the reasonable distance, if he's out of shape.

Biblical yes. Fasting for loosing weight no. Go vegan and exercise a lot instead.
