Less than 48 hours, I’m sure, and I’ve been homeless.
A couple of days, but I was really sick. When healthy*, I’ll sometimes do 24 hours, but that includes big meals bookending that time. I do also tend to have coffee with oat milk, protein drinks, and/or juice during that time, so it’s not without nourishment, just without solid foods.
*don’t be like me, kids. It’s not good to eat too sporadically (I’d be much worse about it if my husband were not basically samwise gamgee). I’ve got adhd and forget to eat sometimes, and I’ve noticed it’s always more difficult to eat if I’ve eaten very little lately.

A week for medical reasons, but I was being given intravenous water and nutrients the whole time. Those don’t stop you from feeling like your stomach is empty, unfortunately. The first slice of toast afterwards was possibly the best thing I have ever eaten
Out of choice, maybe 32-ish hours? A full day plus sleep the night beforehand
8 day fast. Water only. I was living and eating horribly at the time. I needed a drastic reset and it worked very well.
They do this in ayahuasca ceremonies also. Cleans the body from a lot of toxic shit.
Downvoters should research autophagy and fasting.
Downvoters are just still in the matrix. It’s OK.
Roughly 3 days as well. The shakes were crazy since I was drinking coffee and abusing amphetamine like mad as well.
40ish hours without eating or sleeping, I was just busy and didn’t get to it.
10 hours, but I’m also a fatty.
Back in college, my buds & I did a road trip across America, so of course we stopped at the Grand Canyon. Breakfast was just a peanut butter & bread “sandwich”, at which point we started hiking down the canyon. If you’ve ever been, they have numerous signs saying “Do not go past this point unless you are packing food”. But hey, we’re college kids, and we’re not going to go THAT much farther… Long story short, that night the rangers had to chaperone us as we fucking crawled back out. One of us ‘got’ to ride in a helicopter to the medical building. For the other 3 of us who could still move, they manged to find a dusty MRE at the last way station. That was the absolute best chicken & pea soup in a tin foil bag I have ever eaten in my life.
Woof, those choper rides aint cheap. That is exactly why all the signs/books/guides say “dont go past this point, unless you know what your doing” and “only stupid people do the rim to river and back in a day”. My folks and I did that last one back in the day, it was fun, but dont try it (seriously dont). It took us 20 hours and almost didnt make it back before sunset.
The best part of that hike is thanks to my mother, who froze an extra water bottle and hid it in each of our bags before we set out at sunrise. We are hiking back on the bright angel trail and get to the waysation half way up and find it. Its 3PM, at the height of summer in the grand canyon, and my father and I are sitting around drinking ice water, I have never see more envious hikers in my life.
Did a 3 day fast once.
It was actually amazing. The last 8 hours were where it got rough, but from hours 12 to 66, I basically wasn’t even hungry because my body entered ketosis. Did full keto for a month afterwards because I was already there. Dropped 15lbs and felt like a golden god for months afterwards. I’ve done some 36-48 hour fasts since then, but even 48 hours isn’t the same thing.
A couple of days, I was doing Atkins diet at the time and completely lost my hunger, so I just forgot to eat for two days until someone asked me what I had had for lunch and I realized I hadn’t eaten lunch, or dinner, or lunch the day before, or dinner the day before that. It was a weird feeling realizing I had gone almost 48 hours without food without even noticing.
Two and a half day for a fast. I don’t count being ill, like a flu
40 days
Take potassium and calcium supplements or your bones are gonna hurt
You must have one very restrictive definition of eating
More restrictive than the feeling I get by wearing briefs
Just get a size larger. Or a skirt, they’re surprisingly comfy
War there a reason for such a long time without food?
Yeah, the Muslims were about to do a fast but when I heard they were wimping out of it after sundown, I knew right then and there I had to beat them at their own game. I’ve also Lented harder than Christ, so don’t think I’m picking on just one religion.
Haha nice, showed em good!!
32 seconds and you’re my next meal
Covid had be bedridden for about 3 days and feeling too sick to eat, and living on my own I had nobody to help me.
About 6000 kilometres :p
