Cyclone Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Depends on a whole load of things, including your weight and whether you have a condition like diabetes. Most people could live quite adequately off their body fat and muscle for at least a couple of months, but they wouldn't feel good whilst it was happening. No, they really couldn't. Without any food at all it's generally around 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bypassblade Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Not a joke Ramps, Bobby Sands lasted 66 days, before he died at the end of his hunger strike; I also believe that the longer you go without the vital organs shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliceBB Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 No, they really couldn't. Without any food at all it's generally around 3 weeks. I agree. Rule of thumb seems to be 3 minutes for air, 3 days for water and 3 weeks for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
