Is it easier to starve or eat yourself to death?

I managed to stay without any food for 7 days. Then all the muscles started to get cramps, your legs can't support your body anymore. So it will take a lot more than 7 days because your body will use the muscles before using your organs to get energy, than you die. From and old reddit post, a guy posted a real fact about a preacher that tried to follow the Jesus Fasting and died before achieving, so you can take it like 15 days perhaps

Eat yourself to death? As in eat hamburgers every day till you get a heart attack in in middle age?

Starvation is the literal definition of Tantalus. It will require a determination only a very few could possibly possess.

starving to death is slow, hard and painful. And it takes up to weeks to die from starvation. Dying from overeating takes like less than a day. it's painful but atleast it's a lot quicker than starving yourself

I feel like it'd be easier to eat yourself to death. You either take it slow and steady and die of obesity related complications in your middle age. Or you could speed it up by spending every minute eating until you're sick, getting sick, and repeating. Then you'd die of dehydration or a seizure or heart failure. But if nothing stays down, is it eating or starving to death?

I feel like it'd still be easier to eat/purge yourself to death especially if you don't have determination. And same, I don't have it either. But I'm also too lazy to do the latter </3

Middle age is not necessary but large size is. There's people under 40 who have died of morbid obesity

Yeah in theory I guess. I have adhd so I have meds but I'm not taking them rn, but I might start taking them again to let me starve to death easier. Issue is they cause dry mouth, which means…water. Ugh I wish I didn't have the hunger reflex. I wish humans weren't such intricate biological machines
