yoko na magpapayat, giveup nako...sanay nako mabash, hehehe
anyway pag nagkanuclear war, or virus or zombie attack at mga wala na makain mga tao, unang unang mamamatay sa gutom yung mga payat at sexy..
theoretically speaking, how many days without food can an 210 lb obese man will survive?
Theoretically, survival without food (but with water) depends mainly on body fat, hydration, health, and activity level.
For a 210-lb obese adult man, here’s what physiology and documented cases suggest:
Short answer
Why that range exists
Fat stores are the main energy source during starvation
1 lb of body fat ≈ 3,500 kcal
An obese 210-lb man might have 60–80 lb of fat
That’s roughly 210,000–280,000 kcal stored
Daily energy needs during starvation drop to around 1,200–1,600 kcal/day
Math-wise: fat alone could fuel the body for 40–70 days
What actually limits survival
Food absence rarely kills first. The real killers are:
Electrolyte imbalance (especially potassium, sodium)
Vitamin deficiencies
Protein breakdown (muscle and organ loss)
Heart rhythm disturbances
Infections
These can become fatal before fat runs out, especially without medical supervision.
Documented evidence
Medically supervised therapeutic fasts in obese patients have lasted 40–60 days
The longest documented fast (Angus Barbieri, 1965) lasted 382 days, but:
He had medical monitoring
Took vitamins, electrolytes
Drank water and tea
This is not safe or replicable
Without water
For clarity:
No food + no water → survival usually 3–7 days, regardless of weight
Bottom line
With water: ~1–2 months is theoretically possible
Without water: under a week
Without medical care: risks rise sharply after 2–3 weeks
