How long can you go without food?

What is the longest time you did not eat anything?

 

about a week.. when i finally did get to eat i got all bloated an shit.. it was not pleasant...

 

A week? For real?
Wow Billy, I got some new respect for you here.

 

17 days.

 

Liar.

 

dude....I cant remember where there was a HALF a day where i did not eat. lol.
food brings life.
i like life.

well actually i eat a lot of meat, and their well..besides that exotic shit....but for the best of my knowledge: their dead.

 

am not. it was a fast.

 

I disbelieve you. If you would not eat anything for that long your body would have eaten itself. Unless you are (were) really fat.

 

whatever. why ask the question then? what do you know about fasting. ever done any fasting? read up on it if you're interested. people go alot longer than 17 days.

 

Fasting usually involves eating something at some time in the day.. but far less than usual.. 17 days is an awful lot! I believe you though.. tell me how you did it? and did u just drink water?

 

doesnt the catholics fast during lent?

or is it dont the catholics?

geez 13 years of english. and nothing.

 

well baha'is, and i think islamists also, fast for 19 days every year. fasting though, as pointed out, doesn't mean going without eating or drinking anything at all for those 19 days. it means not drinking or eating anything from sunup to sunset during that period.

that's one kind of fasting, the same thing i think catholics do during theirs.

there's another kind of fasting, like for vission quest fasting, where you actually don't eat anything, but do drink small amounts of purified water to prevent dehydration, for a period of arround 96 hours, give or take however much longer or sooner it takes.

generally this involves having others lined up to look after you and nurse you back to health afterwards. in cultures where everyone does this at least once in their lives, pretty much everyone looks after each other, while knowing to carefully avoid disturbing, or even approaching, the one who has gone off to be alone in persuit of his spirit helpers, untill after they have choosen to come back.

i also, ended up doing something like that. except it wasn't intentional. it was just a matter of where i was living at the time and how. but perhapse my having grown up in thouch with the earth, in my own odd, bizaar, untrained way, had something to do with what then happened.

i'll never know for completely sure, except in a spirit sense, but at any rate i obviously survived, being here to mention it.

I have to eat 3 meals a day-to get all of the nutrients I need so I don't go and pass out everywhere-haha

 

lady of the freaks is right, people fast a lot longer than 17 days and are fine, for cleansing or religious reasons or both

It doesnt usually mean just water, although it can do. Ive head of some that allow blended veggies, some will allow lemons and limes with water, stuff like that

Ive never done it yet but i may try one day. Up to now the longest ive beens probably about 2 days, when i either forgot to eat or there was nothing about

 

7 days, well half of an 8th day too. Just got so busy on the raod trying to run miles I forgot to eat. was drinking plenty of fluids and when I would shut down for the day I was dog tired and would go to bed, get up shower and have to leave right away. Was really not hungry at all but realized I had not ate for some time so I had to force myself to eat. Man was a real bitch too, made me ill to eat.

 

very long time. maybe a week...but not more i guess

 

yes, in that case it was just a water fast. i've done a lot of fasting through the years, but that was my longest one. after about the 5th day, the hunger goes away for awhile.

 

maybe a few days when i was sick? but even then i would try and eat crackers or soup and then throw it up? does that count?

 

:agree:

 

food = <3
