What is the longest you have gone without eating?

I know one of my friend following Jainism who as a part of a ritual has only boiled water for 8 days which is consumed only between sunrise and sunset.

Fasting purifies body and mind and so myself can keep fast maximum for 15 hours without food and water in holy month of Ramadan. How about you? Have you ever tried going without food for any reason?

What reason could be behind going without food for 1 or 2 days?

Oh it must be very difficult for you. Was it for a purpose or it was in accessible?

Only for exams. I don´t know much about purifying the body through fasting.
