How long can you go without food?

Answer 1

about 1 week actually, but most people say 2 weeks, but that is a long time if you think about it.

New answer;

People who deliberatley stop eating can go for about 2 weeks, and it tends to be skinny people who do this. You can go a long time without food but not even 2 days or so without water....

Answer 2

Your body can go 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 months without food...u can go longer than 3 months but your body will start to corrupt and your system will not be able to digest anything.

Answer 3

If you don't eat and drink, you can't last long -- four to seven days at most -- because of How_many_days_can_you_go_without_eating_and_drinking. A person who doesn't eat but intakes water can last for a month or longer. If a person eats but doesn't drink, he may be able to live indefinitely because of the water obtained from the food, itself.

Answer 4

1-3 weeks

If a person is healthy, has water, and there are no other factors to consider like weather, dangerous animals, etc., then he/she can live as long as a month, medically speaking. An individual trained in survival will generally survive longer than the average person because there is a mental factor to consider. One who thinks that death is an answer to ending the feeling of starvation will die sooner.

Answer 5

It depends. I've heard of people surviving around 30-40 days. I really doubt that they were getting much exercise during that time or they probably would not have lived as long.

Answer 6

Depends on bodymass index, metabolic rate, how much food eaten before the fast, etc.

The general consensus is 3-6 weeks.

Answer 7

you can last without water for a week and last without food for a month

Answer 8

i didn't estimate. about 1,330 days without eating. However, your body may not be able to digest anything and . . .u know what.
