How Long Can I Survive WITHOUT FOOD?

[@EdChapman23]

I get hungry A LOT, so I thought it'd be interesting to see how long I can fast for before it becomes too much... a few hours usually does it. Appreciate your support on the videos as always! Got a new mini series starting Monday, 5 videos, 5 days.

Sexy ginger man keep it up ed my mate

Good vid Ed I would only last about 2 days lol

[@chanchichanchito]

Nice video Ed, keep up the good work, cheers

[@tommysherman7155]

Is alcohol classed as food cos you can live without food for a week maybe longer. I drank white cider, whisky, vodka, bourbon, dark rum, odd lager cos today's generations larger is horrible without eating for a week or drinking water. Guess I was just living off the suger and the little water in the alcohol, think I actually gained weight

[@Werneckiryan]

I tried 10 days and succeeded this guy is a noob

[@waylingtons]

If you’ve ever seen the inside of a hot water tank you’d never drink that warm water from the tap again. 😂

[@fujster]

If you're Britain in 1980 maybe 😂

​@@fujster its true I used to labour to a plumber and you should see the inside of some water tanks its revolting

[@joeglassford810]

Was thinking the samething myself 💩

[@eldoctorx]

I did OMAD for about half of this year, and you're exactly right when you said you learn to appreciate food more. Everything tastes so much better after not having anything for the whole day. Lost 13kg so it was worth it!

[@pljpmas1623]

You may need to drink more water than you think you need, and this may stop the muscle aching. Headache is probably lack of sugar or caffeine etc.

[@Stu108]

Boil the water in a kettle mate. Don't drink out of the hot tap!

[@EdChapman23]

How come?

[@Stu108]

@@EdChapman23not sure what your setup is but it could come from a water heater or storage tank and could have been sat there for a while. It's not gonna kill you and you're still alive 10 days later but I can't imagine it's great for the guts! Love the videos!

If your boiler is set over 60 it shouldn't be a problem but better to be safe and boil cold water.

When I was born I guess I was born with quite an appetite. After the nurses gave me a bottle in the hospital. I was actually crying real tears which is very unusual for a newborn to cry real tears so early in life. But I digress, so my dad was knocking on the nursery glass. Motioning to the nurse's and saying "Give her another bottle. Give her another bottle!".. so after the second bottle I guess I passed out and slept so they always had to give me 2 bottles at each feeding until I got home and I was not a big baby at all. I was just born with an unbelievable appetite. And I still do have an appetite at times but I do fast as well and I actually feel like I have more energy when I fast. I get more accomplished. Kinda like you did in this video. Kudos you!

[@Spuds263]

I definitely thought you were painting jam on toast at the beginning

[@CameronM47]

Nobody mention that there is such a thing as warm salads, Eds eureka moment when he decides to make himself some hot water though.

[@yutehube4468]

The first day or two is the worst. When I started the diet I am on now, I started cutting my usual 2,100 cals per day down to 1,100 cals per day. On the 2nd day I was nearly crying because I was that hungry. Now 100 days later into the diet, as long as I have salads I can last out, it's something you do get used to, but you need to have at least one big low calorie tuna or chicken (or 2 hard boiled eggs) salad in your daily eating, or you will get hungry. I ran out of salad stuff and tried lasting out on a load of frozen Greggs bakes and sausage rolls, but still staying within my 1,100 calorie per day limit, it's a lot tougher than when I was eating salads. Calories are a "bang for buck" deal. Stick to highly nutritious foods and it's so much easier.

[@moony1204]

I recently didn't eat for nearly 3 days. It's so weird. I've never done it before. You literally cannot stop thinking about food, even though the actual hunger drops after the first few hours, the urge to eat (i'm nearly 30) is so ingrained in us that i literally couldn't stop thinking about food.

[@goldensloth7]

i've done it and i felt so sick i didn't even think of food.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

Its good to break that inbuilt "its dinner time, must eat" habit we all have. The truth is most of could skip a meal or three, or four and be fine. A few years ago i got so used to not eating I would easily do a day or 2 without food (maybe just a baked spud per day), and i was walking miles a day, every day. Turns out if you are only consuming a few thousand calories a week and walking miles and miles and miles every day you will not only lose a lot of weight but start to get dangerously thin. TLDR. The less you eat the less you want to eat and the less you can eat.

[@JJ-Malone]

Imagine you waited till 40 hours and then realise had no food in fridge😂

[@jemmabeard9616]

I'd cry so badly

[@randomyoutubewatcher23]

I only eat one meal a day and it's dinner and its normally the same thing everyday . I get so hungry but I am scared to eat . I wish I could be like you honestly.

Sprinkle some salt in your water next time, it’s going to help the body retain the fluids you drink, ALSO could have had something warm to drink such as herbal tea

[@JadeCC92]

As a kid I was bullied for being fat and ginger. I spent most of my childhood and teenage years not eating to lose weight. It definitely makes you cold, I remember playing The Sims during the summer holidays in a jumper and a winter coat 😂

It’s hilarious cause if I ever consciously try not to eat I can’t stop myself. But all of a sudden you give me a depressive episode and then it’s 13 days with basically no eating and you don’t notice

[@SmokingLaddy]

Not a bad effort to be fair mate! I have an eating disorder and sometimes go longer than this, but sometimes after 40h you still don’t get an appetite.

Don’t use mouthwash AFTER you’ve brushed. You’re washing off all the fluoride you’ve just put on your teeth. Yes, mouthwash contains fluoride, but a lot less than toothpaste. You’re welcome 👍🏽

There’s a guy called Bobby Sands who was an mp in Ireland who survived 66 days without food and only drank water with salt in.

The first thing Ed reaches for after a 40 hour fast is a Fukin meal replacement drink……😂😂😂

[@KarlaJeannieDoddy]

actually probably the safest thing to reach for as the stomach has probably gotten used to no food so straight away going for a big meal would make you feel more uncomfortable that the no food

Found the drinking hot water memorable. I was working in China a few years ago and my Chinese colleagues kept on ripping the piss out of me as I was constantly drinking cold water, whilst they constantly drank hot water from a drinks dispenser in the office. Anyway, you did better than I could have - keep the videos coming.

[@paulaol248]

That was a good video funny all the way through 👍 by the way don't drink from the hot tap .cold tap only .. boiled water drink it when not to hot with vinegar in it .

[@kristianc4]

Ohhh no, you got to boil cold water, mix it with cold or let it cool then drink it. Not from the hot water tap, it's full of heavy metals and other shite when it goes through the boiler, worse if you got an immersion heater.

[@burgersauce1944]

Good choice on tv program to watch

[@haideejones7404]

My cold water went off once so we only used the hot tap and boiled the kettle with it brushed our teeth etc… and I will tell you that it fired out of both ends for over over 48 hours it was the sickest I have ever been… so good luck haha

[@LittleKitty22]

It's unreal how sick one can get - if you have a hot water tank that would explain it, even if the water didn't get hot. Never put that water in the kettle or drink it, it's vile what gets accumulated in these hot water tanks!

[@HouseSanity]

2 days is eaaaasy

[@craigstewart6073]

I got food poisoning this Saturday evening and brought an entire dinner up, if you take this into account Ive not kept a meal down since Saturday breakfast. It's now Wednesday at 10 am and Ive still not eaten and I think I've pushed through hunger now and don't feel hungry at all. I feel very strange 😂

[@UltimatelyEverything]

Drinking hot water stright out of a tap was probably not the smartest thing to do if you're gonna do that at least use a kettle or something like that.
