How long can I go without eating and NOT end up in a hospital?

Answer 1

Without food we can survive up to 40 days..and without water 3 days..without you end up in hospital..so you make the math for how long you can starve yourself.

Answer 2

It depends on several issues such as your current state of health, your current energy reserves (percentage of body fat), interfering illnesses (such as diabetes), etc. Generally speaking, however, so long as one has sufficient water intake, most people can survive several days even over a week without food and some Yogis and others have successfully slowed metabolic rate enough to go weeks without suffering ill effect from not eating. BUT, I wouldn't suggest you try and go more than a couple days without eating and even then only if medically necessary, such as in preperation for surgery, or some similar invasive proceedure.

Answer 3

The rule of 3:
3 seconds without air
3 days without water.
3 weeks without food

Answer 4

a reasonably healthy person can go about 25-30 days without food but I would not recomend doing this. You will stay alive but there may be harmful repercussions. Water is a different story, if you go 4days without water you could possibly die.. If you are thinking about starving to lose weight please try something else.
I have heard that starvation is likely to be one of the most painful ways to die

Answer 5

10-12 days if you r on watr
else 3-4 days

Answer 6

Answer 7
