On an empty stomach or on an empty stomach?

"Fasting" (i.e. On an empty stomach) is the time without food and drink between the end of sleep and the first breakfast (but no later than 10 am). If, after 10 o'clock in the morning, a person has not eaten or drunk, then this condition is already called "on an empty stomach."

Note that these are two different states of the body. If in the first case (on an empty stomach) the body relates to the lack of food easily, then in the second (on an empty stomach) the “self-nutrition” of the body is turned on due to internal reserves (and if they are not there, then due to the loss of cells of internal organs).
