Eat a vag

Maybe. Just makes sure you get enough water and salt, even if you aren't eating.
Starve a fever
Feed a cold
Depends what kind of sick and how far in
I don’t think it’s a good idea. You body needs energy to defend itself.
The saying goes:
Starve a fever, feed a cold.
That’s worked for me but I don’t get sick often. Was a little sick yesterday and fasted all day and had a huge dinner. Woke up feeling fine today. No fever though.
When someone is sick appetite goes down anyway. So generally you are not eating much.
But soup works as one needs plenty of fluids and vitamins.
For me, if I have a fever I don’t reduce it. I let my body fight. Unless it’s very high fever. Colds, I almost don’t care lol.
But like you, I don’t get sick often, maybe one every two years.
Usually your body tells you. If you even think about fasting…. I recommend to not eat for 24 hours.
Animals do this instinctively.
Depends on why you want to fast and what kind of sickness you have.
