Gordo Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Depends on how long you are talking about, but the longest documented water only fast was just over a year, the guy was fine, but started out morbidly obese, and he DID take a multivitamin during that year without any food, so I don't think we have a good answer on how long a person could live without micronutrients. But where would you get calories from that contain no micronutrients? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe drinking water with pure sucrose? Various deficiencies would kick into pretty soon I think maybe after a few weeks or months, max.
