i seriously wouldn’t do that diet. it is just too drastic.
If it’s a “mixture” like a protein shake or some kind of liquid diet, it would still fall under the category of “eating” for your question… You may be severely limiting intake, but you’re still getting something. People who fast still might take in some fruit juice for the glucose. Hell, people in comas get liquid diets for years. So how long you could sustain would depend on what’s in it and what you’re NOT getting. Generally speaking I wouldn’t expect anyone to maintain a liquid diet for more than a few days, you’d probably be pretty miserable. As for truly not eating, i.e. you’re in a liferaft with no food? Depends on your body weight how long you could last. Your body would start burning fat and muscle down to keep you alive in a starvation situation, and could last for a couple of weeks or longer assuming you still had water to drink.
i think its 7 full days… iam not positive dont quote me on that lol
I’ve done the starvation thing. After 3 days, you’ll stop being hungry. but it puts stress on every part of your diet. If you’re young often you won’t even know what things are lurking there. But starving yourself and having eating disorcders can put stress on your liver, your kidneys, your pancras and especially your heart. It’s not just that you will immeidatley lose muscle mass, and whn you start to eat properly again you’ll be much flabbier than berfore. It is really bad for all your organs, and if you have susceptability you could croak
Ghandi went quite a while, I think it was 14 days, before his kidneys began to shut down…
40 days with no food or vitamins and you die. If you are going to go on something so drastic, I would make sure that I was supervised by a doctor. There are several plants out there that “jumpstart” by not eating, but that can be dangerous
first and foremost that depends on the person. if the you’re used to eating, then the act (you know, not eating for days) will make you weak. because you’re body is used to food, thus totally erasing food in your system will make you weak. just like in computers, if you remove one of the components that helps it function, the computer will bog down. if you wanna go on a diet, do it gradually. don’t omit food entirely to your system. try having little servings of food first. there are a lot of ways to lose weight. just see a nutritionist so that she could give you the proper way to lose weight and so she can also give you how much weight you should lose depending on your age, height, etc. i know how important it is for everyone to look good if not for someone else they wanted to please, at least for themselves. good luck and god bless
