VSED but drinking some water once in a while

[tired93]

I already know that times will get longer if you try VSE but drink water. Wanted to know how much. I knew that not drinking water lead to death in 3 days or something. How long can a human body resist without food, on the other hand? I weigh 61 kg and am a woman, but I'm asking in general.

It's hard to say because it depends on the person and whether they have fasted in the past or not. If fasting in the past, one may be able to resist for longer than if one hasn't fasted, however resisting until CTB would be very difficult because delusions, hallucinations, etc can kick in with sufficient starvation and/or dehydration. And they can be very strong, like a dream where one doesn't know they are dreaming.


One source says potentially a few months, the other says people have survived after 8-21 days without food:

I have sources for men, so take this as an upper limit. It's known David Blaine fasted for 44 days with only plain water and survived and is the longest one in recent history, however I found the 1981 Irish hunger strikes to be a useful source, and the 1920 Cork hunger strikes which were less documented. They point to an upper limit of 60-90 days.
