How long can a human being survive without eating?!


Question:

How long can a human being survive without eating?


Answers:
Humans can normally survive without proper food nutrition for 1-2 weeks,but not water.Without water,u are gone in a few days,4-5 at most.

10 days or so, if you drink water. water is more needed than food.

no longer than a few weeks.

Thats not possible to determine because everyones fat reserves are different, as long as theyve got water to drink Id say a human could live for up to 4 weeks on water alone? some people may be able to last for longer but their energy levels would drop with each day that went by and the body will start drawing nutrition from the muscles eventually and then once the heart muscles are unable to function the body will start to shut down. Without any water or food either Id be surprised if anyone could last longer than 2 weeks, if they did their muscles would have atrophied and theyll need some hard work in the gym to get their health back, not to mention a good feed of pancakes and jam LOL!!

It really depends on the person. A "Famine Resistant" person like me would last a lot longer than one of those skinny super model types.
