What's the longest you've gone without eating?

mickrock

Either voluntarily or otherwise.

I once fasted for 24 hours to see what real hunger felt like, after reading Down And Out In Paris And London.

People fast for 24 hours all the time when they're going to get blood tests and stuff

blah

6 days. Before and after having intestinal surgery. Funny thing was that after a couple of days I wasn't hungry any more. They didn't feed me intravenously or anything.

walshb

Often did 36 hrs before weigh-ins for boxing...Very tough.

When you then eat, your mouth is sore and it takes a little time to
bite and chew comfortably.

pragmatic1

About a week when I had to get my stomach paralysed. About three days at a festival.

24 hours is hardly real hunger, try seven days and see what it feels like.

OP I guess you will never go on hunger strike

Degag

About 5 days. Although technically i did eat, but it just kept on coming up again after the mother of all sessions the previous week.

I suppose for several days when I was sick and in hospital once, IV was only thing keeping me alive apparently
Few times for a couple days or so when I've had stomach upsets, then I only managed a couple dry crackers or something

J. Marston

40 days. I wanted Lent to be a challenge.

we'llallhavetea_old

i'd say about three days.

kfallon

Prob a day and I've currently got 2 mouth ulcers so I'm tempted to try break that record, was nearly in tears last night trying to eat me dinner

Kiera

3 days after taking poxy diet pills in Thailand.

phill106

4 days there 2-3 weeks ago. Had some nasty stomach bug, couldn't even look at food.

Azureus

I had a bad habit for awhile of forgetting to eat, I wuold often go 24 hours + without food. Now Im less busy (thank god) I love my food

Longest time would have been 4 days when I was very ill.

gosuckonalemon

3 days every year at Electric Picnic however appetite suppressed by a concoction of all sorts of Class A drugs...

And yes i have before you text me, MR D! :rolleyes:

Bobjims

I havent eaten in about 3 hours, Im starving here! :mad:

Logical Fallacy

24 hours was long enough, thank you very much.

Of course I'd never go on hunger strike. I'd regard it as a pointless exercise, whatever the circumstances.

Sonics2k

7 days about 8 years ago.

Granted I was high as a kite for it.

summerskin

5 days while on a lad's holiday to Malia.

Then bought a loaf and a tin of ham, ate that and then never had anything to eat for 4 more days.

during this 24 hour fast did you have anything to drink ?

personally I often go 24 hours with just coffee. It's not a problem for some people.

About 36 hours, I think. I was at a point where I wasn't thinking about food particularly. Luckily I've made a startling recovery and swung the needle back over to tubville.

sbsquarepants

5 or 6 days.
Drugs are bad kids!

Lawrence1895

8 hours. I was fast asleep for a change

Actually, 4 days then.

MajorMax

9 months (True story)

TPD

About 5 days, if you don't count a couple of soon puked-up rich tea biscuits. Was pretty sick that week.

podgemonster

3 Days, had my Wisdom teeth out. Mouth hurt, throat hurt, was drugged up to the last, all i did was sleep and drool before trying to eat jelly.

c_man

6 or 7 days while in hospital on IV. I didn't really want to eat after the time was up.

Outside of medical necessities I've done the 24 hour charity fast. It's not that difficult imo.

plein de force

i'd say about 3 days when i had food poisoning. The idea of eating repulsed me while every moveable thing in body evacuated both ends

WindSock

3 day detox. Stinks your breath it does. Haven't recovered
properly since.

Luxie

I didn't eat at all yesterday.

I got roped in by the promise of 'basically speed' too. I was skagged for a day after, going from being roasting hot and pressed against the air conditioner to freezing and wrapped up in two blankets every half hour or so.

Never again.
