If some one doesn't eat for a week, what could happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hunger: Most have sufficient reserve that they can easily survive not ingesting calories for one week. Your body will alter its metabolism during that interval to compensate. You will need to keep the fluids going however because that can be dangerous after about three days.
