How many days can a man live without eating????

a man can go 1 week without food.

A man (human being) can go without food for several weeks (depending on your rate of metabolism ..last time you ate and body mass), maybe even 3 weeks ..but without water you can only last a few days ..maybe even lucky if you make it to the other week. In the military , they teach you how to make good water from natural reservoirs cause they know you need it when you are out there more than food.

I do not know how many days it is possible, but I have heard of a lady near our place who seems to have been living on liquid diet for the past 20 odd years. It seems that she does not eat food at all, just juices and milk over the past 20 odd years. But how far that is true, I do not know. Cheers! Ram
