Can you survive without food and only water?

Answer 1

Although people have been known to survive several months without water;

it does not carry the necessary nutrients and proteins for your body to survive a period of several years. After a while your body without food will start to break down its own muscle for protein which will release fatal toxins into your blood. Your tolerance for surviving without water depends on how many fat deposits you have in your body.

Answer 2

You cannot survive without food. When you don't eat, you burn your fat and muscle to provide energy. Even if you don't move around much, the body uses energy just to keep operating.

If you have water, and you conserve your energy, you might last two or three weeks or even more. The longest proven record is 70 days, but there are many unverified reports of longer times.

Answer 3

You can, but only for a few days. Water may help give structure to cells and prevent dehydration, but it holds no nutritional composition. Lack of food and certain minerals will lead to health problems (I.e fatigue, rickets, osteoporosis) but if a person was to starting existing on just water, the probability is that they will die first.
