I've gone the occasional weekend without eating, but never on purpose. sometimes I just forget.

From the beginning of time, to a few hours after I was born, so 12 billion years, give or take a billion.

probably about 5 days for me.

dropped about 32 pounds in 3 weeks (maybe it was 4?) that fall. really only ate grapefruit, and a sandwich a day for quite a while after i dropped all the weight.

About 48 hours. Most of it was travel time and i generally feel terrible if i eat on a plane.

About 5 days while backpacking high in the mountains. The altitude was too much for me to where I couldn't eat anything. I drank plenty of healthy vitamin-filled fluids and such though. I had plenty of energy and was fine.
