    Well, David Blaine managed 44 days with only water, although he did obviously suffer physical effects from his task. However he did not die. Hence one would imagine that a well-nourished person devoid of physical exersion could probably survive up to around 6 or 7 weeks without food. Blaine had more than likely prepared his body for such an experience by eating certain foods before his stunts. Obviously the factor of such preparation would need to be taken out if a person did not know they were to have no food.
