@Op I envy you, wish I could go just a single day without food; I'll be so happy with myself.

Muslim fasting: 14 hours(5.00 am to 7.00pm). That's all. However, in some instances, when I don't eat sahur(midnight food), I do 21 hours(10pm-7pm next day)

Sometin, u control your stomach - u control everything else

OP: I would love to read your conclusion on this poverty case study that you are working on.

Do you know how many children go to school hungry ? and when they get to school, the teacher will beat them for no reason, or a silly senior will punish them
Mos' def'. Today, i'll be walking to an "imaginary" school. Just 20 blocks round my estate and back. I hope I can make it

omi247:

@ OP

Please be careful with what you are doing, I'm glad that you have people who are checking up on you who are close by and your mum is a medic, but there are still risks. I hope you guys have a back up plan for your eventual feeding (i.e liquidised or intravenous) because in the worst case scenario if you leave it too late you could be too weak/unable to even physically eat when you decide to you've had enough of your experiment.

Another important consideration: try not to overcompensate your hunger by drinking too much water as too much water consumption can also be fatal.

They say that the human body can go on average a maximum of 3 weeks without any food and only about 3 days without any water, but personally I have only ever tried to go about 2-3 days without food, as I love food too much and I am fortunate enough to not be without smiley. Good luck in your endeavours!
Thanks

@all
Updates coming your way.

[size=35pt]Caution: I aint saying this to gain appraisals from men, i'm speaking from a personal experience so u would know that it's possible for you to attain any thing u set your mind to do.
A month ago around early febuary i engaged on a dry fast for 4days 4night. Exactly 96hrs. This is no lie!
The first two days was'nt easy for me, (Being that i'm doing it for the first time ever) but after the first two days of prayer and fasting, the third day became ease, though my joint became weaker but my mind grew stronger and my thinking faculty became very sharp, the third and the fourth day, i began to see the entire world in a new dimention.
I began to see the the vanity in things men pursue after, i then realise that man often spend the number of his life following after perishables which i saw as vanity, i for the first time saw life in a new dimention.
It was a wonderful experience indeed.
I wish everyone would experince it for themselves.

[b]@poster, i really appreciate the fact dat u are using urself as the guinea pig,
evryday i do think about poor people in the  part of the world,
in some arab region and most Africa countries,
how dey survive even without food and high rate of poverty.
i sure GOD will save us


i ave survived few days witout food, due to quick intervention i survived it,

[b][b][b]i want us to know dat fasting is different from dis,
wen u are fasting u have d food but  only denyin urself because u are looking for sometn from GOD ,
but dis people in poverty have notin to eat, imagine urself in dat condition lyk d poster, we really need GOD'S intervention
[/b][/b]

@poster u are doin great, nairalanders will surely give u an award for dis,
but pls wen its getting out of hand, eat something[/b][/b]

[size=3pt]Did you have to use the ridiculous bold fonts to pass that message?[/size]

@OP, comon go and eat jor, use the internet for the information you need about what happens when a person starves; you wil get accurate researched information there from people that studied things like that. Besides you cannot carry out an experiment on yourself and expect that the results you get from it is the same results you will get for everybody else; people react differently under different conditions so while you might be able to go for three days without food, another person will be able to go for seven or more.
Therefore, use statistical findings to know the result of your experiment since they average such things and don't use individual findings.
Unles you just like getting attention from anonymous people so if thats the case, please coninue your punishment.

Re: How Long Can You Go Without Food (practical Experience) by mkmyers45(m): 12:28pm On Feb 02, 2012

Man's limit - the rule of threes:

Three weeks without food.

Three days without water.

Three minutes without air (or oxygen).

Hey, Op man, no offence. Don't take my jokes serious.
I am just kidding you, besides I doubt you are still fasting and I think you have gone to eat food since.
If you want us to believe you are fasting then post a picture of your flat and hungry belly for us to see. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
