Our bodies evolved to be able to fast
Although it sounds scary, we would not be here if our ancestors couldn’t survive a fast. Throughout history humans experienced were regular periods of non-eating. Our bodies evolved to store excess energy in the form of fat in times of abundance, and use that stored fat for energy in times of famine. Your body was built to do it and handle it just fine!
