When it comes to hunger, I'm hardly able to bear it. The maximum I can survive without eating is 18 hours. Therr are some people who claim that the can survive without food for 48 hours. What is your hunger threshold?

Me, I get hungry about 3 hours after eating. I have not gone without eating unless I've got to have a blood test, then no eating for 12 hours straight. I bring a snack with water and coffee from home to enjoy after my blood test. So I guess it's 12 hours without eating but it's a "have go to not eat situation" like a blood test to take without eating.

@amitkokiladitya And how! There's so much tasty food it's difficult to not eat. Though you got to fast for 12 hours for blood tests, even then, I brought a snack for right after the blood draw to enjoy before my breakfast.

I fast for 9 days in Navratri with only fruits. I can not stay hungry fro more than 4 hours adn whenever, I fast I eat frutis. My uncle used to fast for 9 days for Navratri. He drank only half glass of water with few tulsi leaves in the evening after his pooja. That's it and he survived it for 9-10 days and the interesting part is that he was active and continued with his regular office and other stuff.

I think we can survive for many days without food but most of us love eating too much to go without. I can easily do 20 hours without food and water.

@amitkokiladitya It is called IF (intermittent fating). I have been doing this since January first and my energy level is better. I used to need a nap in the afternoon and I don't need or want to sleep during the day anymore.

I remember I remain 3 days without food when I was 5 year old. After three days someone pity me and gave me a piece of bread to eat.

@amitkokiladitya Yes. But I don't mind I learnt a lot as a child. I knew the world was mean. I learnt people lies a lot for their benefits. And much more. I am the only one who most of my mother's relative hate the most since I am always frank. I protect my mother from them since I know they never help her. Instead whenever she had good days they would abused on her kindness.

There are some seasons that we abstain from food, fasting. I can do it for 5 days max. But then of course, you have to lessen your food intake for 1-2 weeks and drink more water. When it is fasting season, you should also avoid sweets because it will crave you for food. I can also do fasting for a day for 16 hours when the doctor says so.
