Can you live without foods for one day or so?

Well, It's called fasting. (I'm not a religious person). I've experienced fasting before, it's for dentist reason.

Fasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Please do not post about your religious)

What do you think about without foods for one day or so? Will you be very hungry or what? Do you think fasting is dangerous?

Fasting is not safe for me since I am hypoglycaemic. My glucose level will show up normally, unless they happen to catch it when it hit a severe low or sever high, but my biological system would be so out of whack.

It's part of the reason why I don't join hunger strikes. I would love to, but I am not going to do it at the expense of my physical health and my sanity.
 
I'm diabetic so fasting isn't a good idea for me because I risk getting dangerously low blood sugar if I skip too many meals.
 
Yes I can survive without a food for just a day, and I do the fasting sometimes. Fasting feel really good because if I don't eat for a day then I will eat the meal like crazy and my body feel so refreshed.

But I don't think it was healthy, though.
 
If I skip meals..any meals, I end up with a migraine headache so fasting wouldnt be a good idea for me. Besides, I love food tooo much! :)

I second that. It does cause me a headache, too. It's not my worth time, anyway. :P
 
We naturally fast when we sleep or when we're sick. It's a little break for the body. I've done 1-2 day fasts. I think it's still a controversial thing, though. Some people do well on fasts that last much longer while others think the whole thing is bogus.

There is one thing called Juice Feasting. You get the recommended number of daily calories and also whatever nutrients are in the juice (it's made from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, a few other kinds of food) so you're not starving like with a regular fast or water fast but your body gets a little bit of a break from using up lots of energy for digestion since it's all liquids. I've never done it, though.
 
I am diabetic but I have had good results with fasting. You just have to really keep an eye on the glocuse meter and have Domino's sugar cubes ( real sugar ) and some cold water in the fridge.
 
Fasting is a bad idea for me due to having a history of an eating disorder. The only time I will go without eating is if I am having surgery or medical testing and I need to have an empty stomach beforehand.
 
I think that maybe I could... some people in real life would probably laugh because I'm overweight. :P But the main cause of my weight is because I have never been very big on exercising, but have always eaten fairly healthy to an extent. However, I don't think that it would be a good idea for me to not eat for one day because I already have a very low metabolism. The reason for this is because during days that I am actually busy (with school) I often with skip breakfast or lunch or both... which is a terrible habit and I really try not to skip either one because I really want to lose weight and it's all the more difficult with a low metabolism. I've thought of this before because I was thinking about doing the fast here that the schools do for students to get their community service hours (in Ontario, you need to get 40 hours of community service in order to graduate high school--I have 19 right now).
 
I sometimes go without food for a day or two for no special reason but just because I CAN'T eat... I don't feel any special side effects except that I'm VERY hungry :giggle: I have a clean bill of health and eat regulary ever day, except those where I don't feel like eating... ;)

Fasting though is part of many religious cultures.
 
I have done that when really sick like feverish. Also did that recently for colonoscopy where my stomach and colon have to be really empty. That was rough on me.
 
I get really irritable if I don't eat every 4 hours. I think I would start killing people if I had not eaten all day long.
