The longest documented case of a human surviving without food (but with water) is 382 days. This astonishing feat was achieved by a man named Angus Barbieri from Scotland in 1965. Under medical supervision, he abstained from food entirely while consuming only water, tea, coffee, and occasional vitamins.
Key Details:
Weight Loss: Angus started at 456 pounds (207 kg) and dropped to 180 pounds (82 kg) by the end of the fast.
Medical Supervision: Doctors monitored him closely to ensure his health remained stable throughout.
Outcome: He was able to safely reintroduce food into his diet after the prolonged fasting period.
Context:
The human body can adapt to starvation by breaking down fat reserves for energy. Once fat stores are depleted, the body begins breaking down muscle and vital tissues, leading to life-threatening consequences. Survival times without food vary based on a person's body composition, hydration, and health status.
While this case is extreme, prolonged fasting is dangerous and not recommended without strict medical supervision.
