Can you go a day without food?

I would never go through a day without food if I can help it.

I can go 1-2 days with very little or no nourishment. I have even gone a week with little or without food before. When I am less active, I am hardly hungry at all. Even when I am in active mode, the body is smart and knows how to conserve and burn calories for energy. I can go a day without food, but not water. Eating once a day is good enough for me and anything more than that becomes a burden for me. Breatharians are the most amazing people I know.   They do not need to eat nor drink. They just feed on oxygen, the natural Sun, cosmic energy and the like.

I wonder how pragmatic this lifestyle would be versatile to today's cultures.

I could go without food for a day but I am a dietbitic and would not want to try it.  About 38 years ago I went without food a week except for a sandwich, was trying to lose weight, did lose weight but had to go to doctor and get iron pills.  I do not recommend doing this.  It is not healthy.  I was young and wanted to look good.  Now I need to lose about 40 pounds but it is hard to lose when you get older.  I am in good shape.  So going to leave things as they are.

I enjoy food and sometimes a little too much. I have tried the lemonade diet but was only successful for 2 days.

I had actually gone 3 days without food and wound up in the hospital with dehydration and passed out in the hospital floor!  Scariest day of my life!

It is obviously possible but why would you want to do that to your body?

[cocobrothers]

I have gone a day with very little food because I had no choice, but never a whole day.... I get terrible headaches when I don't eat and I don't like pain

Yes, I believe you could go a day without food.  Water is more difficult to live without.

I actually just went a day without food. Being a college student I just didn't have the time to eat. You can definitely survive a day without food, I think you can surive a week or so without food but I think you can't survive without water for more than 3 days.

Going a day without food?  I can bearly go a couple of hours without food.
