Isn't this true though? Obviously it doesn't apply to hams since they constantly eat but I mean when you haven't eaten for more than 24 hours. I've had a couple of days where I would neither eat or drink anything but water and after enough time my stomach suddenly started feeling weird and I got cramps for maybe 20 seconds or so. After this the pain stopped but I felt worse overall until I finally ate. EDIT: This sensation wasn't a one off thing but happened pretty much every time I hadn't eaten anything in 20-30 hours.

You're still breathing, your heart is still beating, your brain is still working, your cells are still turning over, your organs are still processing, and you're still moving. All these things burn energy. If it doesn't come from food, it comes from fat or muscle. Metabolism cannot physically come to a halt and pull fat out of the air.
