You don't get enough calories to maintain a stable weight. The only reason I can think of why a 21st century human would deliberately starve themselves is weightloss.

I'm literally stunned that you couldn't think of religion.
If you were literally stunned you wouldn’t be able to type.
Oh snap, good point. I guess I havent met anybody who fasts for say, Ramadan. I meet plenty of people fasting as part of a diet.
