In light of the recent COVID-19, Dr. Fung advises: Often if you are sick you don't have an appetite so you end up fasting, this is what is called the fasting instinct. People generally don't feel hungry when they are sick. When you have a fever, the last thing you feel like doing is eating a couple of steaks. This is a natural response and can be a part of the healing process, because when you are sick the body tries to get rid of the sugar so it does not feed the bacteria. ... However, if this starts to go on for a prolonged period of time then this is not advantageous. Keep the fasts short and always do what feels right for your body. There is always going to be another time when you can fast. You can restart your fasting routine once you feel better. Fasting can be an intensive dietary strategy, so you don't want to overburden your body by trying to recover from sickness and doing intense fasting.
