The longest I’ve gone was when I was flushing out my system and teaching myself control and discipline with an amount of 20 days with just drinking water.
I'm miserable even if I have to fast for a blood test or for surgery. I think I'd end up in jail if I tried to go longer than that.
Lol
3 days of fasting for Jesus. Now I'm an atheist - eternally frustrated that I'll never get back those 3 days of missed opportunity to enjoy delicious noms!
You know, when your body is starving, it starts burning muscle instead of fat, because muscle protein burns longer. Essentially by starving yourself that long your body was damaging your internal organs and heart. Please don't do these incredibly dangerous and unhealthy things, or at least don't advocate them. Ask any doctor, nurse, or nutritionalist. The body cannot go longer than 2 weeks without food before it starts breaking down muscle and organs.
I'm frankly surprised some of these people are still alive.
Not true. I've been on two 40-day fasts to get rid of DDT toxins and birth control hormones in my system. Many places in Europe have fasting centers where people are cured of almost anything, even mental illness. Just google it. I also fast every day, skipping the noon meal and going 11 hours between meals. For instance, I eat at breakfast at 7 AM, and dinner at 6 PM. I've been doing fasts since the 1970s.
@birdingnut you also believe you can teleport so forgive me if I'm skeptical about your experiences. And quite frankly I trust EVERY DOCTOR EVER SINCE MEDICINE WAS INVENTED over your supposed European faith healers. By the way, eating once a day isn't fasting.
@LadyAlyxandrea Wow. You really are a troll. I will have to block your hateful attacks. But as for calling me a liar, not only I, but my husband fasted 40 days as well, and he did it before I did. Your comments are rude and ignorant.

I think maybe 4 days ,probably cause of something like the flu
Yeah, I had pneumonia several years ago. Drowning in my own lungs. I think I went for close to a week without eating. It's a great weight loss regime, though.
I’ve never gone a day without food. Longest I go is when I sleep.
During my first trimester of pregnancy, I lost nine pounds due to incessant vomiting. Some days I couldn't even hold down water. All I could do was make jokes about "worshipping the porcelain god."
Despite my desire to do everything natural, after four months the doctor gave me a drug to stop my vomiting. I realized I needed to grow the baby.
two weeks when I was four years old with measles and double pneumonia due to Churchills smogs - the inside of mu nouth was also covered in blisters so all I could do was sip water
That sounds like a horrible experience. I'm very sorry to hear that. =[
2 days without food. Stomach virus. 5 days without solid food. In hospital for operation.
One week drinking 5 litres of water each day. Taught me perseverance.
42 days..twice. Plus I used to routinely fast one day a week, or sometimes a week. I still fast 11 hours each day..by skipping lunch.
@Kassie I just stopped eating. You lose your appetite after two days anyway, but the annoying part is running on keytones, and having a MUCH lower energy output. Instead of wanting to go jogging, I felt more like slow strolls and playing checkers. You're fine, but weaker.
But after about 40 days, your appetite comes back, and that's when I start to break the fast. It takes as long as the fast, however, to incrementally ease back into your normal diet.

12 days. I drank only water. I don't recommend it.
15 hours? I like food and will become lightheaded without poper nutriouion.
24-30 hours. As part of the Mormon religion you fast once a month, form Saturday nigyht to Sunday evening, in conjunctiuon with the first sunday of each month. in this state of hunger, at the meeting, members are encouraged to "bear their testimony" about how they know ht echurhc is true.
That is one of many practices that makes other religions refer to Mormons as a cult... and it is kidn of cult like.
