You can survive almost a couple weeks without food, but only a couple days without water. w/o food up to 90 days, Depends on how fat you are.
The worlds longest hunger strike went for 68 days.

w/o water 3 to 10 days for most people, Depends on how hot it is.
The record is 18 days. In 1979 an Austrian prisoner went 18 days w/o food or water.


it is possible to go without food for long periods of time. you are just eating away your energy that is in the fat cells.
water however, you can go probably around 3-5days without(this is after all the water is drained from your system examples:peeing, sweating, crying)

its easy to go a week without food, im not annorexic no. but ive been to a few camps in the mountains where since im not used to the altitude, my stomach cannot handle food. so, i just dont eat for a week.


1 day As a Ranger, a survivor of survival school along with almost twenty (20) months in Viet-Nam, I think I can put a good spin on it. Water: Four(4) to Seven(7) days depending on climate and your training. Food: Fifteen Days (15) to twenty one (21) days. These rates are high,usually for trained soldiers, maybe even high at that. THESE ARE THE ABSOLUTE LIMITS!
