Food a couple of months or even longer lots of people go on hunger strikes for this long but living without water one week only. Hope that you are not thinking of testing this are you? going on a detox is a much better and kinder idea don't you think? Mind you though I'm going to live for ever I'm gonna learn how to fly high great song.

Water
Humans can live for several weeks without food, but only about three days without water. A typical person will lose 2-3 liters of water per day in ordinary conditions, but more in very hot or dry weather. A lack of water causes dehydration, resulting in lethargy, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and eventually death. Even mild dehydration impairs concentration, which is dangerous in a survival situation where clear thinking is essential. Dark yellow or brown urine indicates dehydration. Because of these risks, a safe supply of drinking water must be located as soon as a shelter is built (or even before, depending on conditions).

Water is one of the most important substances on Earth because it is essential to life. The human body contains about 50 - 65% water, by weight; although you can live 2 MONTHS MAX without food, you can only survive a few days without water.
