Question: How fast would not eating kill someone?PLEASE HELP!!!!!!?
I am 17 I weight right now close to 100 pounds. My body is already weak because i have a poor immune system. I haven't been eating very much maybe 500 calories a day. Then I started throwing it up and for the past 4 days I haven't ate. Below my eyes are puffy and I feel super weak. If I keep this up will it kill me and how long will it take?

Run along now, troll, it's time for dinner.



If you drink plenty of water you may last 3 weeks to a month. But that is for a completely healthy person, which you are not. Throwing up causes you to lose salts and electrolytes that are essential for survival; if these get too low it can effect heart and nerve function and a whole host of other things. Dehydration is also possible.

Also, with you already weak and immunocompromised you could risk getting an infection, or virus. I strongly suggest that you either make sure you drink electrolyte fluid replacements and high-caloric liquid meal replacements, or that you go to hospital and have those things administered intra-venously. Unless you want to die? If that is the case, then you should tell someone that's how you're feeling. Dying the way you've described would not be pleasant :(

Science degree



Coming from a similar place, I understand what you're doing. You have an eating disorder, but I'm no doctor to diagnose you. I suggest seeing one because you're slowly killing yourself. It depends on electrolyte imbalance. Um, if you throw up you might die any minute of heart attack, stomach rupture... etc. Not eating makes you really weak as you already know and it could take a month or something for you to die, seeing as you're close to 100 pounds.

Please see a doctor.



Not eating anything at ALL and drinking water everyday, you can last from 3 weeks to a month. After a few days of not eating, your liver will start to supply it's storage of energy for the body to burn. After that runs out after about a week or 2, you're body will start to eat itself in a sense.

Why are you having an eating problem?



Actually i had something similar last month, But that was appendicitis, i threw up any single atom particle of food given to me, so i started relying on liquid stuff.

I didn't eat or drink for 3 days in the beginning, and after that i started some juice and other stuff..

I had to be given those infusions or drips or whatever they call it..

and now i'm better..

so i'd say u can go without food for 3-5 days.
