RJ, those protein sparing modified fasts have been shown to be safe and effective in the short term, they contain enough protein to spare lean body tissue, but the calories intake is still low enough to simulate a fast.
If you are using it as your sole source of calories, make sure that it is a compelte diet, not just a meal replacement (like Slimfast)
A gentelar method is to have a shake for breakfast and lunch, and some lean protein (steak, chicken, fish) and non starchy vegetables for dinner - this feels less like starvation, and helps you learn new eating habits and portion control.
Supplment this with a multivitamin like Centrum, and walk briskly for an hour or so each day - the weight will melt off, it will also help to keep your metabilism ticking over and help counter the slowdown that dieting brings.
