I remember reading a story about a person who was in a car accident and lost a lot of weight because no one found him/her in time. This person had to go through innovative ways to get food trapped in the vehicle (maybe that's the name of it, trapped?) I've also lost weight when I had times I could not eat, but what about if I decide not to eat or go into mourning stage, what will happen?
At what point to I HAVE to start eating again?

Technically I think I've read you need food at least every two weeks, however, you should not intentionally fast for very long at all. You will lose weight while fasting very quickly, but lack of nutrients and energy will lower your metabolism and make you store fat once you are off the fast. Additionally, while fasting you will lose muscle mass since muscle is more "expensive" for the body to maintain than fat.

You should never just stop eating! As to how long you can go, i'm not sure, you can go longer without food then without water. But if your trying to lose weight, drink nothing but water, eat small portions, instead of eating 3 meals a day try 5 smaller meals.

You mean starve yourself? Thats pretty stupid.
If you WANT to starve yourself for the sole reason of losing weight, you very likely are starting to get anorexia.
If you don't eat, your body will stop working. You will DIE.

You have to eat every day. Good food contains the fuel for your bones, organs, blood, hair and nails and especially your brain. Starvation makes you retarded and it can also kill you. Short term, you will simply plateau.

if you dont eat at all, it will drop off rapidly but when you start eating again, it will come back rapidly. dont do it.
