how long can someone fast on just water?

Question

i mean how long is it physically possible u think

Answer 1

one can build up tolerance for fasting. if you're going to do it, start with 1-2 days, then break. then build up to a week. the longest anyone i know has been on a water fast is 12 days. I'm sure you can do more but remember these things can be damaging to your body. most of the purifying effects of a fast come after 4 days, anything beyond that isn't going to add benefits. your body may benefit more readily from shorter, more regular fasts. fasting two days then resting two weeks and fasting again, for example.

Answer 2

Not over a month, and at that time they would be very close to starving and dying. If they drank juice instead of water they would have some calories instead of none so they could go longer than a month.

Answer 3

That is very, very unhealthy. You need some sort of substance and/or vitamins! You could probably last about 3 days. However your body will think it is starving and you will hold more calories and fat when you start to eat healthy again.

Answer 4

I believe it is 2-3 days. I hope you are not asking because you're considering giving it a try.

Answer 5

About 3 weeks on average, and then you die.

In the meantime, your body not only uses fat, but muscle and bone, etc., to keep running.

Answer 6

2 - 3 weeks
