How long a person may live without food?

Question

How long a person may live without food?

Answer 1

Depends on how much fat they have as they would be able to survive on these reserves for some time.

I believe the record for surviving without food is around 50 days although 20-30 days would be more normal.

Of course you can survive on liquids such as milk so it depends if you class that as food or not.

Finally, you can survive a maximum of only 7 days without water.

Answer 2

Around 30 days or so, depending on a number of health related factors.
