the human body can survive for a reasonable amount of time without food so long as it has water!.!.!.

however the health implications are huuuuuge!

without food your body has no way of getting fuel for everyday energy - your body begins to shut itself down - only allowing the bare minimum energy to be released for movement etc!. brain functions also slow down - this leaves you like a zombie - tired and run down!.!.!.!.

your body begins to break down muscle tissue for fuel - which slows your metabolism down meaning you wont use up your stored calories so quickly!.

minerals and vitamins needed to keep your body healthy run out - your skin becomes grey and your lips may begin to crack - your hair becomes dry and may even start to fall out!. your eyesight can deteriorate (which is permanent damage) and your body organs start to shut down

so you look like death - you cant be bothered to move and then!.!.!.!.
well!.!.!.
then you die!.!.!.

so!.!.!. if by asking this question you are thinking about starving yourself to lose weight!.!.!. dont!

eat healthy and exercise regularly
the human body is designed to eat at regular intervals
it is not designed to starve!.!.!.

it does the opposite of whatever you do to it!.!.!.
if you starve it - it tries to hold onto fat!.!.!.
if you dehydrate it - it tries to hold onto water

you cant beat the system by cheatingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Many do not know and are afraid!. But people can go about a month drinking only pure water and not eating anything!. A fat guy was fasted for 7 months and died!. So 7 months is too long!. Dr Fuhrman (MD) does not fast anyone longer than 50 days!. See site below for more on this!. Jesus and Moses fasted for 40 days!. Site below has quotes from 18 MDs on fasting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't go on a starvation diet to lose weight!. Don't binge and purge!. Eat healthy, small portions, healthy snacks, drink water and no sodas, floats, milk shakes, anything other than water, unless your doctor tells you too!. Do what he says!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on how much you weight!. People that have more fat will be able to live longer then ones that are thinner!. I don't know of an exact day all I know is that you can live longer without food than without water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
