    I am surprised I still have a liver and kidneys.

    You would be surprised how resilient the body is when it comes to hunger. My answer would be like yours, I would say I went a few days if not a week without food multiple times, though for me it’s less about resources than stress (I am what many would call a “stress-starver”) and everything in me related to eating is not only intact but in average condition.

    Back when tribes were still a thing, it was written that it was normal for the local tribes where I live to deprive new children (because adoption from other peoples was common) of food on two day patterns, especially when a trek was going on, only to feast on the third day.
