Use Beeminder with a weight goal, eat whatever you like when you're below the centerline, and stop eating entirely whenever you go above it, until you're under it again.

This sounds like a fairly horrible idea. There is no guarantee that you will feel like doing fasting when you go above the centerline, if anything, you go above because you are in a bad mood and eat or drink to deal with it, so you would be fasting at times when it is the least convenient. Instead, you can simply fast whenever you feel it would be easy. Whenever you feel strong and happy and proud.

It's worked for me so far.

I actually have such a goal, but hadn't considered using it like this.
