Is it alright to fast for 21 days will i get sick or anything ?

If you did a total: Fast with no food or water - you would likely die. If you did a water only fast - you would likely catabolize a lot of muscle and would likely become ill. In addition, because your body would go into starvation mode - you would gain weight rapidly once you started eating again.
