Fasting != malnourishment tho.

Anecdotally, I've been doing 16/8, 20/4 intermittent fasting and a couple of 24-48h fasts over the past 10 years and have not yet developed anorexia.

I've been doing 16/8 for the past year+ and I've barely lost any weight (BMI of 25.5ish but I'm muscular). I've always been quite comfortable going without food for 16 hours, so I'm never even hungry.
