Energy level high during the whole time..You just have to have your mind in the right place.. [/quote] Many would die just trying to find food when they probably had all they need for over a week right around them. Boil plain rice. Cook plain pasta. Boil a potato. But, in truth, your best choice is to remain calm and not worry about food for at least a week. Water is the key. [/quote] Yeah, but try explaining that to young kids and babies who really need food. Parents will go into fight/kill mode for them. Try being around a kid screaming and crying from hunger and see what you would do. You would do ANYTHING to stop their pain. [/quote]

Many people have done a one week fast (just water) and didn't die or starve to death. It is all about your mindset, attitude and discipline. Many do a week fast for health reasons.
We could then get by on one medium sized boiled potato a day after that week and survive pretty well. At least for a month or so anyway. Not all that healthy, but you would not die.
I'm not saying it's easy. In fact, it's damn hard.
But, most people cannot go one day without food and not freak out and wanting to riot and break into stores.
