How long can you go without food?

[Shekwan]

About 12 minutes. I have my manservant cram doughnuts into my mouth at more regular intervals to ensure I don't have to endure that long though.

Uhh...like...a few hours?

Me too, pretty much.

Fasting doesn't mean not eating per se. The traditional weekly fasts of the Orthodox Church (daily during Lent) involve abstaining from all products originating from a backboned animal, as well as wine and olive oil. Of course, this thread is about not eating, a more extreme fast, so the definition of a broad term isn't relavent. Still, juice is drunk, not eaten, so the accomplishment stands.

I agree.

Rofl. /whatever.

You do it. See how well you do and how long you last.

And is there a particular reason you want to devalue what I did?



And fasting before a surgery is typically 12-24 hours. I can do that standing on my head.

This is correct, also surgery is a completely different issue and is only 12-24 hours, not 40 days.

Granted, I'm sure its possible for some people, but I'm sure more people than that couldn't even do what you did, myself included.
