I have a nasty stomach bug and have zero appetite since last night. Basically had half a banana and that's it.

The crazy part of me thinks my body will now slow metabolism to make up for not eating Am I crazy?

    Yep.

    A few days with no appetite won't do you any harm

    If you weigh daily you will see a jump in the scale once you get your body rehydrated and food back in your system, but it's not fat or your metabolism being damaged. Hope you feel better soon!

    You will be fine after you recover. Like someone said, when you get rehydrated the scale will pop up, but in this case it's a good one. Don't want to start dehydrated forever!
