you can do a water fast for weeks and you’ll mostly be fine. your body has evolved to tolerate the absence of food and actually has mechanisms to deal with it.

(in case you have a very low % if body fat you will be in trouble, but this does not apply to 95% out there)
if you fast totally (dry fasting) things go bad pretty quickly. Dehydration is the thing that it’s going to get you and there is a non-zero chance you are going to die because of it. Short of experimenting with this 1, maybe 2 days I would not recommend it.
