Answer 12

it all depends on how much body fat you have. if you are skinny, it wouldnt take as long as if you were fat, cause when you starve yourself, your body feeds off any fat in your body. once it uses all of the body fat, and you havent eaten, your body feeds off of organs and whatnot

Don't anyone try this!!

It would depend on whether you had access to water

If yes then it would take considerably longer

nine days

Answer 17

typically between two weeks and two months
depending on water and physical stress.
in extreme conditions it could be less than two weeks.

Answer 18

• Three minutes without air.
• Three days without water.
• Three weeks without food.

I dont know how accurate this is. Surely, survival times without food and water would be subject to considerable variation depending on one's initial physical condition, the environment in which one was attempting to survive, and how much physical exertion was required. I suppose that the Three Threes probably represents a general ballpark estimate, based on an average person under average conditions of temperature, humidity, and physical exertion.

Well, David Blaine managed 44 days with only water, although he did obviously suffer physical effects from his task. However he did not die. Hence one would imagine that a well-nourished person devoid of physical exersion could probably survive up to around 6 or 7 weeks without food. Blaine had more than likely prepared his body for such an experience by eating certain foods before his stunts. Obviously the factor of such preparation would need to be taken out if a person did not know they were to have no food.

Answer 19

not long. are you gonna go for it?

Answer 20
