The longest you've gone without eating?

TeddyTedson

I haven't eaten now in around 26 hours. Nothing what so ever. I've only been drinking water. The longest I've gone before was 18hrs I'd say and that was only for fasting for blood tests. I don't even feel like eating now either and I'm not going to until I'm hungry. I'll probably only last to lunch time I imagine but let's see.

What are boardsies personal bests?

"Personal bests"? I though it was best to eat fairly regularly.

About the same. I used to go one day a week without eating. It helped clear my system out.

Depends on what you're eating thought I guess.
little joke in there for you

I'd say I've gone 24 hours without eating quite a few times. As in, have dinner, then nothing until dinner time the next day. Usually I'll have a bloody massive dinner then though.

Jax Teller

About 3 or 4 days could only have liquids . Lost loads of weight

Manny Pacquiao

43 days when I was lost in Western Australia's Great Sandy Desert. How I survived defied medical science. All I had was dirty water and my will to survive.

I'd go a weekend without eating regularly enough. Once a month anyway. I'd have feck all of an appetite anyway so easy enough. Studies show it increases longevity, just as well as the older style calorie restriction(WITH high nutrients, NOT starvation diets). I'd note very little weight loss either. It would be my humble that people eat quite a bit more than they actually need, especially if sedentary. The human body requires remarkably few calories SO LONG as nutrient levels are high.

Gone Drinking

I've eaten two sandwiches and a mouthful of stew since Sunday. When you're stressed out and have no appetite, it's quite easy.

Your third sentence was unnecessary.

I've partook in a few hunger strikes in the past.

Teyla Emmagan

About ten hours (over night in other words). If I'm awake I'm generally thinking about where my next meal is coming from.

Mahatma me old mucker. Have you posted in the thread 'Sexy clothes for Men' yet?

Gran Hermano

From 1845 until 1852.

Rantandrave

7 weeks, on a TFR diet, no actual food is consumed just liquids

Richard Hillman

About 2 days from ecstasy usage back in my younger wilder days. You genuinely have zero appetite when you take them an the day after, no matter how long you have been without food.

They should start dishing them out in Africa, it might bring some happiness to the place :pac:

That's only seven minutes on a digital clock, hardly worth boasting about, anyway, by that time you would have just finished your 'tea'.

Remmy

24 hours at the most I'd day. I don't know how people are able to fast for a few days at a time.

Alaskan fireman Robert Bogucki (Don Hany) went missing in Western Australia’s Great Sandy Desert in July, 1999. Bogucki survived 43 days and was eventually found some 400km from his departure point by an Australian television news helicopter. He’d lost 30 kilograms, endured six weeks without food and 12 days without water but miraculously survived one of the world’s most inhospitable wildernesses.http://www.throng.com.au/2010/07/miracles-miracle-in-the-desert/

Princess Peach

Maybe a couple of months eating nothing but apples and diet drinks or red bull Bad times

I often lose my appetite for extended periods now, just have to force yourself to eat. Stupid not to. It's a mental thing, your body still needs food to function.

Eve_Dublin

Besides from when I've been asleep, a couple of hours. I don't do the whole starvation thing. Love my food. Love eating.

I've been following these studies as I was doing IF for a while. I think it's actually not so clear cut after all that restriction increases longevity.

I've done the 24h a few times. It was no problem from a hunger point of view at all, but I got pretty grumpy in the mornings (worse than usual ). Didn't get any of this clear thinking business others say they get from doing it

smcelhinney

11 days when I had food poisoning in China. Lost about 2.5 stone.

Cue the size zero's PM'ing me wanting to get in on "that new fad diet"..

dollypet

2 days while traveling- painfull!

horsemaster

The longest is I have fasted with water is 7 days. I do this fast once every 3-4 months. I do 24 hour fasting every week if I can. 24 hours fasting is complete fasting without water. For the 7 day fasting, I drink water regularly.

builttospill

When I used to go on mad sessions I wouldn't eat for 5 days. I ain't lying. All the sugar and crap in the alcohol just about kept me going. I paid for it after though, naturally.

marknine

I had food poisoning twice and on each occasion I was not allowed any food at all for two weeks. The only thing I could take was 7up as the sugar would keep my strength up.
