I’ve gone three weeks and change without a single calorie of food. Not by choice - medical thing. Lost about 30 lbs give or take. Was hard to start eating again once I did. Lost additional weight beyond the 30. Went from fat to skinny. Took years to eat properly again. Now I’m fat again :)

Was interesting for many reasons.

1. it’s possible if you’re injured to not be hungry and starve to death without feeling any hunger whatsoever
2. while I lost fat, I lost more muscle. Crazy how the body canibalizes itself.
3. still need water, that you can’t go without. But you can go a long time without food. I could have easily gone weeks longer I think without food.
4. Hug your family and always tell them you love them. I lived through my ordeal and gained perspective, but many young people die without saying and doing the things they should.
