I once didn’t eat for 14 days. Honestly it wasn’t that bad.
Disclaimer: I was/am obese and had fat for it. And took some salts/vitamins. But no calories. I don’t recommend it. Such behavior can easily cause/worsen eating disorders. Seek medical advice.
It’s weird to me how drastically Lenten fasting has decreased in modern day catholicism. If I hadn’t left the religion and already become a pescatarian I’d be doing it old school with pescatarian all season and full fasts on Fridays.
People should be wary of voluntarily fasting for more than a day or two. Can be fine, but can also lead to lasting complications, may be too late by the time you feel bad. Ramadan/etc usually only involve intermittent fasting spread out over a period of time.
Fasting is a real thing
Ramadan
Lent
And just straight up fasting or intermittent fasting
Its been a thing for over 1000 years
And that was voluntary… humans can survive for months without food provided they got fat enough.
It’s healthy too. Just dont, if youre pregnant, a child, under nourished, under weight, sick etc etc
And during a fast… feel bad? Just eat

Well voluntary is a stretch. When you look at the timing it is usually done when food was getting scarce in, or after winter.
