Have you starved yourself for at least 24 hours?

thats only for people who have been on the brink of starvation, though?

The refeeding period should be as long as the fast. Refeeding gradually introduces foods of increasing complexity: juice, then fruit, then vegetables. So bacon and eggs for breakfast following even a one day fast would not be good for you, but would not be dangerous like eating bacon eggs immediately following a 14 day fast.

fasting is ok
starving yourself is different

WTF? I've SLEPT longer than that.

rofl, same. I've slept something like 18 hours straight before. So no meal. But I ate like a hostage when I woke up.

A 24 hour fast probably isn't that big a deal, but when you body goes into a true "starvation mode" it's really hard on your liver.
