Answer 3

Pushing it, i'd say about a week,

but you can't last that long without water, you can only last about 2/3 days if you don't have water

Answer 4

Living without food is different for many people because some people eat more than others and all the people in the world have different weights. And if you are talking about going without food and fasting, it is the same way for everybody, different. There were some stories that some prisoners could go without food for as long as two full months. And some stories about people dieing without food after two weeks. It is very hard to tell just by looking at someone. It is obvious that a person with more weight will go longer than a thin person.

Fasting begins farming your body after as little as three days. The fat in your body will begin to decrease in order for you to survive. So, if you are not very fat, you will have less chances of surviving. After all of the fat from the body is gone, then that is when it becomes more serious. There is nothing in your body that will produce energy for you anymore and that is why you will feel very ill and tired. You will start having headaches and will feel very dizzy, which is not a good feeling. If you amino system is not strong enough, you might die right away, but that happens very rarely. So, there is no more energy in your body. All the organs begin to shut down, one by one.

If you are drinking any liquid at all during the fasting time, that will give you some minerals which could give you some more energy to survive. If you don't drink water at all, you will most likely die after a few days or in less than a week. Again, it depends on you shape and body structure.

If you are thinking about fasting, don't do it. Even if you are going on a special diet. The fasting can hurt you very bad inside and you will not notice it until later. You will have very poor organs and might even get cancer. You need food to grow and keep moving.

Answer 5

This human body can't go more than a few hours.  That's when I start to feel whoozy.

Answer 6

find on the web:

A person can live without food for quite some time, usually for many weeks.

The body will use its fat and protein stores (muscles) to help it survive.

If a person has a lot of fat stores (is very heavy), they will live longer than a

person who has very little fat (very thin), so how long a person can survive

depends a lot of the person. Of course, if you go without food for a few weeks,

you will be very weak since you have been using your own muscles for energy.

Water is a different story. A person will die within 3-4 days without water. The

size of the person really doesn't make much difference.

my answer:

my teacher once said that human can survive within a week or a little longer than that without eating..but the body cant do without water,,as u know that human's body mass are 70% water *or so*..and water is very important in order for our body to function. 3-4 days without water is the limit i think..
