How long can you live for without eating? Like eating ABSOLUTELY nothing. I'm not talking about eating disorders.

including water? I think you'd die from dehydration in 3 days. But if you were to drink water consume nothing else, depending on how much fat reserve you have, between 1-3 weeks.

You can live less than a week without water and about 3 weeks without food as long as you have water.

water is essential, the food part depends on where you start

people with many pounds of spare calories will obviously have an advantage in a hunger strike competition
