What's the longest you've ever gone without food?
 

As it says in the title and for whatever reason (e.g., purposeful fasting for different reasons, illness, unfortunate lack of funds).

Round about 24 hours.
At Uni.
There were times energy kind of took over so food was not a priority until I got through a difficult day, of which there were a few.

Drank lots of water though.

I fast 15 hours on work days but 12 hours at weekend ..

Google the benefits of ‘intermittent fasting’


Longest ever without food was 36 hours .. migraine.

Around a week.
In hospital for an op and no food allowed.
Not that I wanted any.

I skipped lunch once in 2013

That's about it

3 days as a child when I was allergic to smallpox jab. Otherwise 24 hours on E

Whenever I've had one of those wicked bad stomach bugs, there's been two or three times where they were severe to the point where you'd have to avoid eating for 24 hours. That's my record - with nothing close either because I take a lot of pride in eating, and it's one of the main things in life that should never be taken for granted

Skipping lunch isn’t “a substantial no. of hours.”

none of ur business

I took part in a 24 hour fast at high school to raise money for charity

Hey you're the one who made that the minimum poll option :oh:

4 days but it was due to a horrendous stomach bug. The first 2 days I didn't leave bed and thought I was dying, the next 2 I was tentatively up and about but couldn't face food. For a while after it was little bits of very plain things as the thought of eating was still making me feel really ill. In total it was probably at least 10 days from the start of the bug to eating a "proper meal" again.

When I say thought I was dying I'm not even exaggerating - I collapsed in the hall on the way to the bathroom at one point and ended up badly dehydrated stuck in bed. It was when I was in a Uni shared house, I had to beg one of my housemates on MSN Messenger to go and get me a supply of electrolyte/sugary drinks and I think he saved my life :joker:.

Oh, I also went 3 weeks on nothing but one meal of rice a day, spiced up a couple of times a week with some chicken/mince/onions/peppers. Due to a combination of Uni holidays, delay in student loan, and family issues I ended up living alone in my 2nd year uni flat for a month before term started, with £20 and a handful of change to last 30+ days.

So I didn't go a full day without food but it's by far the hungriest I've been in my life :umm2:. I ate like an absolute pig the week my student loan came through.

About 56 hours I think

Probably about 10 hours

Unless I have a 48 hour bug. Even then id have some toast or a cracker or something

I've had to be Nil By Mouth prior to surgery.

10pm it started, and by 11am I was begging them to anaesthetise me early so I didn't have to suffer through the hunger :joker: Apparently when I woke up when it was done I immediately asked for a sandwich!
