72 hours no food or sleep once out in the field. It sucked.

I've done a 96 hr fast many times. I do 72 hours few times a month. For me, the first 24 hours are the hardest to resist the temptation to eat. After that, it's easy for me to ignore being hungry.
I've never gone past 96 hours as I don't want to deal with refeeding syndrome and have to be cautious about what I'm eating.

3-5 days, whenever I become sick. I'll just go liquid-only fast until the sickness works its' way out my body.
Sans illness, I've never gone more than 36 hours or so.

I’ve done several 4 and 5-day fasts.

What in the frick is wrong with you people, why would you starve yourself?

Roughly 36 hours. I got up in the middle of the night to adjust the thermostat and passed out, hitting my head on a wall, and then the floor. Thankfully, my wife was there to come to my aid.

Not time between actual meals-- any food into your system non-liquid. I honestly don't think it's ever been more than 18 hours for me in my entire life. America really has it great.
For consistency, don't count sometime you had the flu or a stomach bug and just couldn't get anything down.
I often do 24 hour fasts.
Longest has probably been about 30 hours.

How much weight did you lose?

17 days as a kid with bad depression. I’d lost the will to eat but was hiding it by taking any food I got to my room and then throwing it away. 18th day my dad stops at a place after work to get us something to eat, hits a royal flush playing video poker while he waits, wins 500$ and upgrades us all to steaks. When he got home he was so fricking happy I severely wrestled with whether or not to eat it because while I didn’t want to eat, I didn’t have the heart to do anything that would spoil his joy that day, so I ate it. It was incredible
Tldr 17 days, In hindsight I believe it to be one of those mysterious ways.

Since 2004 I eat once every 20 hours… after I read the warrior diet by Ori Hofmekler.

I didn’t eat anything the first nine months of my life.

i went 20 days without eating in 2018. water fasting FTW. the people who said you don't really feel hunger are correct. after 2-3 days, it gets REALLY easy. the key is to keep your mind busy, either with work, or activities/hobbies
i did it to lose some weight, and it just melted off like crazy in 20 days. lost about 40 pounds. best part about it was that it was super easy, pretty much free, and didn't require me to keep track of macros and other food groups
damn. kudos to you
