Question

how long can you go without eating before becoming ill and will it do any harm?

Answer 1

2 weeks

Answer 2

Well you can go for over a month without eating, it's called fasting. You will, however feel weak and you might become ill as your body is detoxing itself. Once the body is fully detoxified, you will need less sleep and have more energy than before, your illness will be gone. A fast could be dangerous if not done properly. If you are interested in fasting then get some informations about it before you start.

Answer 3

You can go up to three days before you really start to become sick. In the first three days you'll get stomach cramps and head aches and feel lathargic. After those three days your body will slowly start shuting down as your body starts to use fat and muscle in the body to fuel itself. As long as you keep drinking water you can live anywhere from 2 weeks to a month without actual food. But you start becoming very ill after 3 days and its all down hill from there.

Answer 4

3 days

Answer 5

I went on a cleansing diet. It lasted five days. I had nothing but lemon juice and water. I had headaches and felt horrible. I'll never do it again. Life is short. I gave up five days of misery for nothing.
I hope you aren't being influenced by the latest epidemic du jour. Life is wonderful. Enjoy it . It will be over before you know it.
