Question: How long do you have to go without food to die!?
I'm not asking this because I want to die, I'm just wondering how long you can go without food before you die because I'm going to fast for 5 days and only drink water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I did some research on people who have gone without food for extended periods of time:

Medical Doctors Commonly cite 4 to 6 weeks without food
10 Political Prisoners in Ireland Lived 46 to 73 days before succumbing to lack of food
12 individual starvation protestors Two lost tongues, 1 lost feet, 7 on kidney dialysis
Many war prisoners Lived 28 to 40 days with no food
World War II concentration camps With only 300 to 600 calories per day, many thousands did not have enough food to survive more than a few months at best!.
Terminally Ill patients Live 10-days to 3-weeks without food depending upon initial heath
Obese Can live from 3-weeks up to 25-weeks and more without food depending upon initial health and amount of fat
