No. It's actually been done you can not eat for forty days. You have to be in good health and drink plenty of water but you can. I wouldn't. There's other ways to attain health. If you are starving and haven't eaten that's a terrible thing to do. And I've seen many people get an evil charge from watching others starve.

No you would not die. Some people who go on protest fasts go for 3 to 4 weeks sometimes longer. * days would not be good for you but your body will use fat reserves to survive. Some people take vitamins and eat no food to loose weight but doctors do not recommend this form of weight loss.

No. Death from lack of water consumption might occur in 8 days depending on other conditions (like how hot it is and you activity level). Death from dehydration occurs long before it does by starvation.

Completely depend on your age, fitness and how much body fat you have. But overall no you wouldnt die. People have gone a lot longer without food.

No way. I'm a paramedic. I wouldn't recommend it though. Being without water would be worse. Dehydration.

no you wont die, but your body will think it is starving to death and when you begin eating it will store everything as fat. so that if it happens again, it will survive.

I doubt it as long as you are drinking, because your body will begin to feed on itself called wasting.
