You getting sick is you body signalling to you that you have to eat. Your whole body works on the stuff you put in it and if you don't put anything in it it's going to take whatever it can from the resources it currently has so it starts eating away from your own body, your body is so busy with survival that it only focuses on the most essential needs, that's why you get sick. 

Your only option to not get any long lasting effects is to eat properly.
