  • Without water, about 3-14 days. Only 3 day survival without water in hot temperatures. Edit: Thanks Relsqui . Most people can survive for weeks (probably 50-80 days) without food but that survival is based on fitness and condition. If you are weak to begin with you cannot survive that long, even with a plentiful source of water.
  • depends on your weight. supposedly a normal weight person (excluding hollywood) can go several weeks and just drink water. they would be weak and hunger pains but it has be tested on military and research studies
  • 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.
  • Doesn't It depend on how much fat the person has?
  • 30 days on average i think
  • about 1 day if i am lucky.
  • if i slept though it, 6 weeks .
  • a few hours maybe...
  • I have been almost 2 months without eating, I drank PLENTY of fluids and I love almost 80lbs. I was VERY depressed and on drugs so my live seemed like it didn't mean anything at the time.
  • a month... but drink water.
  • I can go at least 21. I know because I have. My church has a 21 day fast at the beginning of every year and I'v done a complete fast from food twice. I only drank liquids.
  • about 2 houres
  • I went 4 days with no food and loads of water for an experiment.
  • back in the day, I could go about 6 days without eating food or drinking something other than water. After that, I would start passing out. I don't do that anymore... too busy to feel that weak!
  • I work the evening shift. Get to bed about 3am. Get up at about 9am and have a bowl of cereal then I won't eat anything all day until 6pm. I usually really hungry by then.
  • 8 hours, if i'm lucky
  • Are you kidding? I have to put the food down to type this!
  • 3 minutes 42 seconds is my record
  • I've gone 46 hours without food before and I thought I was on my way to Heaven. When I tried to eat a Whopper, from BK, I could only take two or three bites and I was full. 46 is my personal record, not going to try and beat it. Oh yeah, the water didn't help fight the hunger dude!!!
  • I lasted 3 days with out water or food. After the first day the hunger pangs subsided and I was fine. I believe that I could have gone longer had I not made the mistake of buying a veggie platter on the third day for a party I was hosting and took a bite off a carrot. I dropped 7 pounds in 72 hours.
  • Maybe 4-5 Hours depending on when I get my lunch break. =D
  • I have gone about 20 hours without eating but i could not go more then 4 hours without drinking water
  • I 0went 2 weeks one time after a surgery. it was weird coz i wasn't hungry at all. i had to make myself start eating again. I don't know if I could do that on my own.
  • couple days water- couple weeks food. A man can survive for one month on beer alone, i don't know if thats true
  • Posted on 2/18/2008 I decided to try and get rid of 55 pound to go from 235 at 6 feet tall and 52 years old down to 180 pounds. I know by now that typical diet and exercise will never get me there or I would already be there by now. I did not want surgery just yet so I decided to see if I can't do a starvation diet. I stopped eating on 8/15 and now it is a bit over 3 days and wanted to find how long people claim to have gone without eating. Let me tell you that 3 or 4 days is nothing and I ran 4 miles just yesterday and feel just fine. I've not done much web surfing so far, but I've already seen one person claim to have gone 40 days with only drinking water and he claimed he never felt better. He also claimed he did it again after taking a break and eating for one week in between. I plan to stay the course as long as my will power holds out and I don't notice ill effects. Now that I'm becoming suspicious that one can go without food much longer than rumor has it, my next real question is how fast I will loose the weight. Right now I seem to be running about one pound a day but it might be a little to early to have an accurate estimate. If that estimate turns out to be correct then should I only loose 30 pounds after starving for 30 days? I hope it ends up being more than that. I certainly could not imagine death by starvation while I was still significantly over weight. I had a fish (Discuss) that quit eating and I was absolutely amazed at how long he lasted (like 2 months) before it died and was nothing but skin and bones.
  • It's already 48hrs since im fasting with out water even.And i m working normally.Nottired too.do not feel hungry too.the weather is fine and it is actually raining a lot.Im not dehydrated too.And i want to test my self how long can i survive.I want to suicide.
  • forever
  • I am on my 4 day wish me luck
  • A week. Throw in some lethargy while your at it.
  • Only for so long...
  • Close to a month I believe
  • I wouldn't last more than a few weeks probably, maybe a month
  • Depends on the individual, their physical fitness and how much body fat they carry before they are forced to go without food.
  • most medical doctors cite around 4-6 weeks.
