probably like 18 hours max
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 4 days. multiple times. I was really poor once. I used to take Tylenol and Tums to keep away the hunger pains, and I am surprised I still have a liver and kidneys.
About 6000 kilometres :p
19-ish hours. I practice intermittent fasting and sometimes I unintentionally go over my standard 16 hours because I’m busy doing something and I forget.
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.
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.
32 seconds and you’re my next meal
40 days
Take potassium and calcium supplements or your bones are gonna hurt
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.
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
Like… less than 24 hours
I ain’t trying to be the next Gandhi
About three days. I get headaches, and shakey, and at some point in the first twenty four hours the hunger pangs vanish. So if I focused through something without eatung I might only realize due to headache and the empty vibrating feel.
It happens less as I get older as I understand body signals better and eat before the point when the hunger pangs fade.
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.
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
About 30 hours.
I had to go nil-by-mouth for 12 hours before an operation to repair a fairly serious injury and they kept pushing the surgery back and back and back. Higher priority cases were keeping the surgeon. It wasn’t like I was low priority either, but my injury was stable and not immediately life threatening.
Did I mention I’d also lost blood? That made for a force multiplier.
In the end, they admitted defeat - the surgeon had worked too long anyway - let me eat something and rescheduled my surgery for the following day.
Let me tell you, that was the best chicken I ever ate.
Probably a few days, like 3 maybe. I forget sometimes.
“Why hands shaky?”
Oh…
