sure, all you have to do is fill yourself with health drinks, so you can be filled up and get nutrians (spell check, forgot) that you need. but of course that can be very dangerous.

People with lots of body fat can fast (drinking only water) for long periods of time. After a few weeks it's good to add vitamins as it can ruin your eyesight with the lack of vitamin A. I have read about fasts lasting more that 145 days (very large person). It changes your metabolism and throws you into ketosis and you start to smell like nail polish remover. Fasting for 4 days or more (with water!!) should be done under medical supervision. You will get dizzy when you stand up after laying down so you have to be careful not to fall over. Read this book:

I once heard of a guy who survived through not eating or drinking for 14 days. He was supposedly in police custody, locked in a room somewhere, and they forgot about him!

Yes. it is possible. it is known that a person will die first from lack of sleep rather than lack of food. Also Mahatma Gandhi, from India, fasted for 40 days while he was in prison. His health suffered, but he remained living.

a healthy person may survive without food even longer than month, depends on his physical condition, but without water he cannot survive !
