How long can i go on just small amount of food but no fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No water and death: If one is in reasonable shape under ideal conditions -- that is, not exposed to heat nor cold and not exerting, one can probably live for about 3 to 5 days without any water. If one is healthier than most people, one may survive one additional day.
